Dear Mr. Smith:
On July 22, 2019, a site inspection was conducted for the SCD Mine located off Andrews Chapel Road in Roseboro,
Sampson County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection Report is enclosed for your review. The time and
assistance provided by you and Mr. John Fearrington with Smith Gardner during the inspection is greatly appreciated. The
site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is covered by NPDES General Permit NCG020000 under

process wastewater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Little Coharie Creek (Sinclair Lake), a Class C;Sw
waterbody in the Cape Fear River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the conditions of the NCG020000 permit.
Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations made during the
inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES General Permit are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to
$25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff have any questions, comments, or needs assistance with

Inspection Summary:
Met with Joe Smith, Landfill General Manager, and John Fearrington with Smith Gardner (consultant) at the Sampson
County Disposal (SCD) Landfill office. Reviewed the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for the SCD Mine site, which
needs to be updated to include current contact/responsible party information and listing of any significant spills or notation
that none have occurred on an annual basis. Although the mine site has remained inactive for several years, monitoring is
conducted/recorded quarterly under the wastewater discharges section of the NCG020000 permit, specifically as
commingled stormwater and mine dewatering. Mine site has two distinct outfalls, each of.which is a concrete weir spillway
located on the back side of the mine's affected boundary. Monitoring records reviewed indicate results meeting associated
effluent limits or no discharge for respective periods. Due to the prolonged inactive status of the mine, a discussion was held
about the possibility of granting dormant status upon request. After the records review, site observations were made at the
mine. At the time of inspection, there was no flow/discharge at either of the outfalls.
