Lockwood II Sand Mine Dewatermg Operating and Monitoring Plan October 2009 NKT # 09074 ti O The operation and monitoring of wastewater from The Lakes of Lockwood II Sand Mine shall adhere to the following limitations All wastewater that collects within the pit area through groundwater seepage and/or direct rainfall shall be extracted out of the pit area on an as need basis All wastewater that is extracted will be routed through the stilling basin I level spreader BMP The level spreader diffuses discharged wastewater through the required fifty (50) foot vegetated buffer The diffusion of flow through the vegetated buffer will allow for both infiltration and pollutant removal The infiltration process will continually recharge the water table and also protect the wetland areas from any impacts associated with the mining operations The stilling basin 1 level spreader BMP will be required to be inspected either quarterly and after any discharge operation or on a monthly basis The stilling basin should be inspected for sediment accumulation If sediment is found to be 25% or more of the original design depth then all sediment shall be removed and the basin will be returned to original design conditions An inspection of the level spreader should verify that the spreader lip has not been bypassed and that the filter strip remains vegetated and channelized flow does not occur during operation If needed, the vegetated buffer should be reestablished and channelization should be removed Vegetation should remain, at all times, a minimum six (6) inches in height All silt fencing shall remain at the excavation limits as specified by site plans Any accumulated sediment should be removed from the base when the depth reaches one (1) foot Any discharge from dewatering activities shall not exceed 70,000 gpd All discharge shall be directed to the identified isolated wetlands for containment and infiltration as previously mentioned No discharge shall overwhelm and overflow from these isolated wetlands therefore preventing any discharge to waters of the state Four isolated wetland areas are identified as 0 38 acres, 0 62 acres, 1 64 acres, and 2 39 acres respectively All waters that are discharged should be done so from the existing lake area/cell By doing so this should limit the likelihood that contaminated water is being discharged and routed through the BMP's to wetlands A sample of the dewatenng discharge should be taken from the pump outlet for testing in accordance with the regulations set forth in the dewatenng permit A log of dates indicating when dewatenng has taken place shall be kept in the mining office Quarterly reports are required to be submitted to NCDENR DWQ If no dewaterng has taken place during the quarter, then a statement should be submitted indicating that no discharge occurred during the quarter For questions regarding dewatermg regulations and procedures, please contact NCDENR DWQ — Linda Willis or the
