Dear Mr. Guill:
RE: Approval of Pumping Monitoring Plan
Powell Pit
Mining Permit # 08-18
General Permit # 020634
Bertie County
DWQ # 04-0513
The pumping plan for the Powell Pit in Bertie County as described in your letter of March
16,2004 to Mr. Robert Tankard of our Washington Regional Office is hereby approved since
DWQ believes that this plan will protect the hydrology of adjacent wetlands as required in 15A
NCAC 2 B .0231. If the pumping last longer than 6 (six) months from the date of this letter, then
additional written authorization will be required from the Division of Water Quality. Wetland
impact for the prison was approved by DWQ on February 10, 2003 under DWQ Project Number
02-1380.
If you have any questions, please call me at 919-733-9646.

Subject:
Pump and Monitoring Plan
Powell Pit
Bertie County
Please find attached the Pump and Monitoring Plan for the mine site south of Windsor off of
Hwy. 308 in Bertie County. It is my understanding that the mine as proposed will be a short-
term mining operation to provide sand for building the Bertie County Prison on the adjacent site.
The borrow pits are approximately 200 feet to the wetlands. The proposal to put a rim ditch
around the mine site and keep approximately three feet of water in it at all times should give the
wetlands the hydraulic relief that is needed. The maximum depth of the mine will be
approximately twenty feet with an average depth of fifteen feet. The dewatering for this mine
will be limited with the total operation being finished within six months of the start date.
Since the operation ofthis mine will be short term and the contractor will install the rim ditch
between the mine and wetlands, there should be no impacts to the adjacent wetlands. This office
recommends that the pump and monitoring plan be approved as is.

Re: Pumping Monitor Plan
Powell Pit
Mining PeDmit # 08-18
General PeDmit # 020634
Dear Mr. Tankard:
As a result of our Meeting at the Powell Pit in Bertie
County, on Monday, March 8th, 2004, Barnhill Contracting
Company will also require a Pumping Monitor Plan, due to
wetlands approximately 200' from the mine.
Upon your recommendation, we are proposing to install a
ditch (depth of 5') along the southern and eastern side of
the pit boundary. (see attached drawing for location and
cross-section of the ditch). This ditch will act as both
the sed~ent basin and a holding area to minimize any water
leaving the wetlands during pumping operations. We will
maintain a depth of three foot of water in this ditch while
pumping is required. An overflow device will be installed
at the northeastern corner of the pit and the excess water
will be directed to the ditch on the western boundary. We
have not included monitoring wells, due to the time frame
on the operation of this pit. This pit will be used for
the construction of the Bertie County Prison.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration
on this matter. If you have any questions regarding this
matter, please do not hesitate to call us.
Yours very truly,
B~~ING COMPANY
