Dear Mr. Vinson,
I am writing this as an agent for Mr. Marty Hurdle, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, Hertford, NC, in
regards to a DLR mining permit application #72-22, and NPDES General Permit application
#NCG020786. This letter is serving as an addendum to a revised O&M Plan sent to you on
February 23, 2011.
On page 3 of the O&M Plan, under the section titled Sediment & Erosion Control, Mr. Hurdle
needs to make a change regarding the proposed hydration swales., It was originally proposed to
have two 300ft swales located on the east and west sides of the excavation, to be used to
maintain hydration of the adjacent wetlands. The needed changes to this plan are as follows:
The western swale will remain as proposed except that the swale will be constructed as
a continuous 300ft swale instead of a series of three 100ft overlapping swales. The
western Swale is being constructed so that overflow during heavy rainfall events will
drain back into the excavation from the northern, lower end of the swale. There will be
no riprap rock baffle constructed in the middle of the swale for overflow protection, and
all overflows will go directly back into the pit. This will prevent the possibility of any
erosion occurring outside of the excavation and permit area while still allowing natural
groundwater hydration of the wetland. It is to Mr. Hurdle's advantage to retain as
much water as possible in the excavation as one of the main purposes of the excavation
is to provide a source of water for his crawfish operation.
It will not be necessary to construct a hydration swale on the east side of the
excavation. The wetland adjacent to the eastern side is already being continuously
hydrated by an existing 0.89-acre sand -bottom commercial striped bass pond owned by
Mr. Hurdle and located at the headwaters of that wetland 390 feet east of the proposed
excavation. It is noted on the previously submitted mine overview map that the
delineated wetland encompasses the southern end of this existing pond. The existing

pond is kept full 100% of the time, and maintains hydration of the wetland easily.
As stated on the previous O&M Plan, visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands for potential
dehydration during mining or dewatering activities will take place weekly, soil samples and
water levels in the swamp will be taken bi-weekly and documented, photography of the wetland
areas will be done monthly or as needed and documented.
Mr. Hurdle does hereby request NCDENR to expedite his permit applications and will be glad to
answer any questions.

I am writing this as an agent for Mr. Marty Hurdle, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, Hertford, NC, in
regards to a DLR mining permit application # 72-22, and NPDES General Permit application #
NCG020786 . As a result of an on -site inspection by Mr. Gary Novak and request for further
information, and a request for further information from Mr. Scott Vinson, I am addressing the
issues noted and submitting a revised mine map and O&M plan.
The requests for further information from Mr. Novak and Mr. Vinson are addressed here as
follows:
1.
Access rod culverts: Access road culverts location and size are shown on the attached
revised mine map. Erosion and sediment control for these culverts and construction
details are attached to this letter. 21
Check dams: Rock check -dams will be constructed in blue -line creek drainage ditcl}/S�' • f
adjacent to southern access road to prevent erosion and restrict sedimentation from ��ID
reaching downstream wetlands. Locations are shown on revised mine map and
construction details are attached to this letter.
Construction entrances: Two temporary construction entrances and their locations are
shown on the attached revised mine map. Construction details are attached to this
letter.
4. Peninsula: 1-acre peninsula shown on current mine and reclamation maps is classified
as excavated area at this time in order to prepare for potential final phase excavation at
end of permit life. Depending on conditions at that time, Mr. Hurdle will decide to
either excavate the peninsula back to a line from Point A to Point B on the mind map, or
to leave the peninsula in place at that time. Either way, all side slopes will be reclaimed
per permit specifications.
5. Northeastern access road across wetlands: Per my conversation with Mr. Vinson, and
letter from him on Feb. 15, 2011, it is understood that this access road is not a

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Marty R. Hurdle, 355 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944
Job Location: Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, 355 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944 FEB 24 2011
County: Perquimans County ,
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consultant, H
Date: December 31, 2010, Revised February 23, 2011
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will not
degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine & Dewatering Process:
Marty Hurdle Sand Mine is a proposed new 4.7 acre excavation located 3 miles east of Hertford, NC on
high sandy land currently under cultivation with pasture and pine trees. There is an existing 0.57 acre
pond (Pond C) located 450 feet northeast of the proposed new excavation, and an existing 1.48 acre
crayfish pond (Pond D) located adjacent and east of Pond C. Pond C & D are connected by a 25ft x 8in
culvert buried under a causeway separating the two. Mr. Hurdle intends to use Ponds C & D when
dewatering the new excavation.
The proposed 4.7 acre excavation will be divided into 2 parts; the northern pond (Pond A, 1.3 acres) will
be excavated first, the southern pond (Pond B, 2.0 acres) will be dug afterward and separated by a 30ft
wide causeway. When both ponds are finished the causeway will be removed, making one large pond.
It will be necessary to dewater Ponds A & B as they are being excavated to allow the excavating
equipment to enter the excavated area and safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond
bottom. This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of Ponds A & B. It
is the intention of Mr. Hurdle to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time
dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 to 45 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for later
use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
In addition, and in lieu of as needed, water will be removed from the excavated ponds to use as a water
supply source to maintain correct water levels in Pond D for the existing commercial crayfish operation.
It is estimated that due to the porosity of the soil in the area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will
hold and disperse naturally most of the water removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation &
dewatering, without overflow from Ponds C & D:
Pond A (1.3 acres) will be excavated and dewatered by pumping groundwater through 6in and 8in
irrigation pipe 450 feet to Pond C, and sediment will be allowed to settle there before standpipe

overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Upon needs of the commercial crayfish operation, instead of
allowing Pond C to overflow directly, water will be allowed to flow into Pond D through an 8in culvert
under the causeway separating Ponds C & D. Excess water beyond what is needed to maintain correct
water levels in Pond D will be allowed to overflow to adjacent wetland forest from Pond D. Water will
be pumped by a 6in gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at idle speed.
After excavation of Pond A is complete, excavation of Pond B will begin. Pond B (2.0 acres) will be
excavated and dewatered into adjacent Pond A and sediment will be allowed to settle there before
standpipe overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Alternately, if water is periodically needed to maintain
water levels in Pond D, water will be pumped from Pond A into Pond C, where it will be allowed to flow
by culvert into Pond D. Water will be pumped by a 6in gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at
idle speed.
There will be 3 overflow discharge points in the permit area: Pond A on the north end, Pond C on the
north end, and Pond D on the north end. All 3 discharge points will release clear water to an adjacent
wetland forest draining to Mill Creek and Perquimans River (see map for discharge point locations).
Each overflow will consist of a water height control structure located just below the top lip of the
sediment pond and will control the water level in the pond so that it will not overflow uncontrollably
onto adjacent lands and fields. The water -height control structure will consist of a 6in wide vertical PVC
pipe with an adjustable head that allows the operator to change the angle of the inlet up or down to
achieve the water height needed in the pond. The control structure will allow water to flow through a
buried 6in culvert pipe into an existing 3ft wide woods ditch located approximately 25ft from the edge
of the sediment pond. The overflow water from the sediment pond will exit the pipe through an outlet
stabilized with a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in the ditch. There is an existing control structure as
described above located on the north end of Pond C and Pond D, and these 2 structures have been in
place for the last 8 years and used as needed in Mr. Hurdle's permitted commercial crayfish operation.
After excavation of Pond B is complete, the operator will excavate and remove the causeway separating
Pond A and Pond B, as well as a portion of, or the entire, peninsula remaining between the two ponds
(see map). Upon finish, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine will be a single pond with an average 20ft depth and
maximum 25ft depth, and a maximum acreage of 4.7 acres if the entire peninsula is removed.
There will be no chemicals or flocculants added to the water in the sediment ponds to accelerate
sedimentation. Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the
overflow water reaches the wetland forest and then the waters of the State. In Pond A the water
control structure & overflow will be located approximately 360ft from the inlet of water from Pond B.
Pond A will be 1.3 acres in size and will have enough surface area to allow efficient sedimentation to
occur. In Pond C the water control structure & overflow will be located approximately 250ft from the
inlet of water from Pond A. In Pond D the water control structure & overflow will be located
approximately 360ft from the inlet of water from Pond A. There will be a minimum 2ft tall berm around
the perimeter of the excavation and the sediment pond to prevent offsite stormwater from entering
Pond A or B and damaging sedimentation rates.

Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland forest surrounding a blue -line creek on the east, west and north side of the proposed
excavation, located 75 —120 feet from the excavation edge. The operator will establish a 50ft
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to the east, west and north perimeter of the
permit area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with grass and pine tree ground
cover.
In addition there will be a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer. Inside of this unexcavated buffer, the operator will build and establish a narrow
300ft x 10ft x 2ft deep closed -end Swale area on the east and west side of the excavation, between it
and the wetland. The purpose of these swales is twofold: in the event that monitoring shows that the
adjacent wetlands are being affected or degraded by dewatering, the swales will be filled with water
from the excavation and kept full, to serve as device to hydrate the wetland located downhill from the
excavation. Secondly, there will be a small 6ft wide x 2ft tall sand berm running on the outside edge of
each swale, which will help the swale capture any eroded sediment from the excavation process. The
swales will be built at the beginning of excavation operations and will be filled during dewatering
activities to maintain adjacent wetland hydration. Outside of dewatering activities the swales will
capture rainfall runoff which will also help wetland hydration. There will also be the establishment of a
6ft wide x 2ft tall sand berm around the southern perimeter of the excavation. This will prevent erosion
from damaging the excavation edges on this high end of the excavation.
The operator will establish a continuous silt fence along the outside edge of the unexcavated buffer on
the east, west and north sides of the excavation, which are the lowest portions of the area. This will
prevent any erosion from leaving the excavation area and damaging wetlands on the outside of the
undisturbed area during processing. All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area.
During mining operations and dewatering, the majority of the water leaving the excavation will remain
inside of the permit area and will only overflow occasionally. The majority of the water will be used in
Pond D to maintain needed water levels there. The two ponds are shallow, and there is a sand layer
below the bottom of the ponds. Currently water is constantly draining naturally back into the water
table through the pond bottoms. The porosity of the soil under Ponds C & D will allow most of the
water pumped into those ponds from dewatering to seep back into the ground naturally, and is in fact
why the operator needs a good supply of water to maintain correct water levels. Any excess water
overflowing from Ponds C or D will flow downstream towards the wetland forest surrounding the
excavation area, and then on to Mill Creek.

Maintaining the Water Height Control Structure, Settlement Pond, Ditches, and Irrigation System
inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the 10 year life of the mine dewatering permit are.-
0 Inspect the water control structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
during periods of operation of the structure.
• Remove accumulated debris from the control structure inlet pipe.
• Inspect the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
damaged items as needed.
• Inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding and mulching as needed.
• Check frequently for burrowing animals. When found, remove the burrowing animals, replace
embankment materials and reseed.
• Inspect all ditches regularly leading from the excavation area for stormwater erosion, especially
after heavy rains, repair ditch banks as necessary with compacted earth, remove all
accumulated debris in ditch to allow free flow of water. Inspect riprap outlet stabilization
structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as necessary.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
• Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Process and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:
• All ponds in the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the operator to
identify any abnormal conditions.
• All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected following
significant (1/2-inch) rainfall events for damages, and all structures will be repaired immediately.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.
• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Quarterly inspection of dewatering wastewater will be accomplished along with a general
inspection of the facility. Samples will be taken from sediment pond inlets for quality
comparison to sediment pond overflow outlet samples, if overflow is occurring.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering 6e
excavation.

• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested
onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring a rain gauge monthly and after each rain event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from all wastewater point source discharges in
operation at the time.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond C sediment pond.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond D crayfish pond.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond A when used as sediment pond.
• . Data will also be collected from samples taken from the mining wastewater inlet from Pond C
sediment pond for comparison to wastewater overflow samples from Ponds C or D.
• Point source discharge data: data from each site taken, date & time, general weather conditions,
pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required data.
• Visual monitoring of adjacent wetlands for potential dehydration during mining or dewatering
7
activities will take place weekly, soil s�m_nles and water levels in the swamp will be taken bi-
weekly and documented, photography of the wetland areas will be done monthly or as needed
and documented. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining activity will include
alteration of dewatering process. DWQ will be consulted as needed; alterations to process will
be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at 622 Rocky Hock Creek Road, Edenton, NC 27932: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspections, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.

BMP Conditions
• The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering Marty Hurdle
Sand Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State.
• The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDWQ prior to utilizing any
chemical flocculants at Marty Hurdle Sand Mine.

Design Considerations:
Maximum height 2 feet at center of dam. Center of check dam will be 9 inches below outer edges of
natural ground elevation. Dam constructed of NC DOT Class B stone and line the upstream side with NC
DOT #5 or #57 stone. Side slopes of dam will be 2:1 or flatter. Stone will be extended minimum 1.5 feet
beyond top edge of ditch to prevent overflow erosion. A layer of heavy duty synthetic filter fabric will
be installed between the stone and the underlying soil in the ditch bottom and extend up the ditch bank
slopes to prevent soil movement into or through the rock from below. Check dams (3) will be spaced to
assure elevation at top of lower dam is same as the toe elevation of the upper dam.
Maintenance:
Inspect check dams and channels weekly and after every significant rainfall event and repair any damage
immediately. Clean out any sediment or debris that could clog the channel immediately. Add stones to
dam as needed to maintain design height and cross section.
6.15 Riprap Slope Protection around Culverts
A layer of stone designed to protect and stabilize area around 3 access road culvert outlets that are
subject to erosion.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Width: Rip rap layer will extend to a 3 feet diameter at top of bank around culvert outlet and then down
bank to ditch bottom below culvert outlet.
Filter: Operator plans to' install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend 3 feet at top
of bank around culvert outlet, down bank and to bottom of ditch below culvert outlet.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place, or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out -of -bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

wetlands adjacent to the permit boundary of the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine. The swale will consist of 3
100-foot long by 10-foot wide closed -end swales that will parallel the land contour and which will
overlap or butt up to each other. The swales will be located along the western and eastern unexcavated
boundaries between the excavation area and the wetland. Unlike a contour bank, there will be no
water flow but water will collect in the swale from rainfall and by intentional filling from the excavation
during periods of dewatering. The water in the swales will be absorbed by the swale and taken
underground to recharge the adjacent wetland.
Construction: A flat-bottomed V-shaped level closed -end trench 6-foot wide by 1-2 feet deep will be
dug parallel to the contour of the land in 100-foot lengths. The series of 3 100-foot closed end swales
will overlap or butt to each other. Trench will have minimum 2-ft wide flat bottom and 2:1 or flatter
sloped sides. The excavated soil will be placed uncompacted along the bottom side of the trench in a
round mound shaped berm minimum 1-ft high and 4-ft wide, which will allow surface run off from
above the swale to flow into the swale and be collected there, and then be absorbed into the ground.
The swale berm will be seeded with ground cover to prevent erosion. The side slopes and swale
depression will be seeded to -encourage ground cover growth. There will be a 2-ft tall silt fence erosion
barrier constructed behind and below the swale berm to collect any sedimentation from the swale.

A 5-foot wide rock baffle consisting of rip -rap and smaller gravel will be constructed in each swale berm
at its lowest contour point to allow passive discharge of overflow water during periods of heavy rain,
through a level sill spillway approximately 9-feet long. This will spill a level sheet of water 3-5 mm deep
to run across the surrounding grass, through the silt fence, and into the wetland. This sheet flow water
will prevent concentrated flow and erosion of the landscape.
Coarse aoareaate _
Annual Maintenance:
• Inspect rock baffle for clogging and correct the problem.
• Inspect and correct erosion problems in the sand/soil bed of swales.
• Inspect grass along side -slopes for erosion and formation of rills or gullies and correct.
• Based on inspection, plant an alternative grass species if the original grass cover has not been
successfully established.
Maintenance (as needed)
• Inspect swale berms weekly and after every rainfall, repair as needed.
• Till or cultivate the surface of the sand/soil bed of swales if the swale does not draw down
within 48 hours.
• Remove sediment build-up within the bottom of the swale once it has accumulated to 25% of
the original design volume.
• Mow grass to maintain a height of three to four inches

Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipes (3) to prevent scour and
undermining in existing ditch, and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to
non -erosive levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
Riprap Apron Size: Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. Length of apron will be 20-
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel, the curve will be located in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Filter: Operator plans to install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend to the top of
both channel banks, and edges will overlap 12 inches. Upstream end will be buried 12 inches and
downstream end will be buried if necessary.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place, or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out -of -bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Subject: General Permit No. NCG020000
Marry Hurdle Sand Mine, NCG020786
Perquimans County
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit application for the subject project on January 6, 2011. The Division of Water Quality's Washington
Regional Office (WaRO) received this permit application, plans and Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M) for the subject
mine project on January 24, 2011. The O&M was reviewed and has been determined as incomplete. The following
additional infonnation is needed:
1. Please provide outlet protection (riprap pads, erosion control matting, etc.) for the three piped discharge outfalls.
Considered along with the pump's pumping rate, the protection must provide non -erosive flow (2ftJsec) into the
wetlands.
2. The plans have the secondary access road shown through wetlands. After a phone conversation -with your consultant,
Ken Elliot, it is understood that this access road has existed for some time, that it is not to be improved except for the
culvert and that it will not be used for mine equipment traffic. Please revise the plans and/or narrative to show these
things.
3. Please increase the frequency of the adjacent wetland monitoring to be performed. Quarterly, is too long between
wetland inspections.
4. Please provide additional information on the hydration swales such as the elevations, cross sections with slopes and
depths, etc.. Please also consider using these swales during all the mine dewatering events, not just for use after
wetland degradation has already occurred..
The General Mine Dewatering Permit (NCG02) application is being processed in DWQ's Raleigh Central Office.
Upon permit issuance (NCG020786), an Approved O&M plan will be required within 60 days of receipt of the permit. The
O&M plan must be approved by the WaRO in order to remain compliant with the permit. Non-compliance may subject you
to appropriate enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statues 143-215.6. Civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day per violation may be assessed for failure to comply with a permit required by NCGS 143-215.1. No mine
dewatering is allowed prior to the approval of the Operation & Monitoring plan.
Your prompt attention to submitting a revision of the O&M plan will assist with permit compliance and will be
greatly appreciated. Please send to:

Subject: RE: NCG020786 - Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, Perquimans county
Robert,
DLR has sent their request for add.info. to Ken Elliot (consultant) for the mining permit and Ken gave me a call yesterday.
He wanted to discuss some of the points I brought up to DLR mostly regarding the wetlands crossing of the secondary
access rd.. He said that it was an existing dirt path through the woods that has been there for a very long time and that
they were not planning on improving it, nor were they to use it for the mining traffic. It's just to be used by Mr. Hurdle
to access the property with his pickup truck as he has always done. 1 told him that because the plans and narrative did
not show nor discuss this, we believed it to be a proposed road crossing. He said he would revise the plan and narrative.
also told him that they needed to also document (photos) that the existing wetland crossing with culvert pipe has
been existing as a farm access path so as not to cause any problems in the future.
1 told him that we had some additional questions regarding the 0&M & plans and discussed the need for outlet
protection at the pipes, the hydration swale cross section detail and a reevaluation of the quarterly monitoring of the
wetlands and to reduce that time between inspections to either weekly or bi-weekly. What do you think? He
mentioned that he may also add that Mr. Hurdle could take photos of the wetlands to show during the progression of
the mining over time. I told him that would be fine. When I asked him about the pipeline through the wetlands to the
crayfish pond, he said it was going to be simply a 4-6" irrigation pipe laid on top of the ground, no digging, no filling of
the wetlands. I don't think it he would need a 404/401 certification for doing just that, but he needs to explain better in
the narrative. I mentioned that we would follow up with an add.info. letter to him with our concerns. This is my first
dewatering /O&M review, who sends the letter, you or I? Just wondering,
Scott

Subject: RE: NCG020786 - Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, Perquimans county
Finally got a chance to look at this one. Couple things I saw that may be potential issues:
1. Need outlet protection on the 3 outlets. They must provide non -erosive flow (2ft/sec) for the 10-yr storm into
the wetlands.
2. Would they also need a 404/401 for the pipeline through the wetland to the crayfish pond.
3. They don't provide any details about the hydration swales. X-sections, elevations, etc.
Let me know if you want to talk about it more.

I don't know if you read my last email with our DWQ review sheet attached, but I'm not quite finished reviewing the
O&M dewatering plan just yet. Samir's out sick today and likely tomorrow, but I'd like to discuss it with both him and

The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit received a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for Marty Hurdle Sand Mine on January 6, 2011. The
application included a copy of an associated application for a mining permit submitted to the Division of
Land Resources (DLR). Please be aware that the issuance of an NPDES permit is contingent upon the
issuance of an associated mining pen -nit from DLR. Our office will process your stormwater permit
application once a DLR mining pen -nit has been issued for your project.
Please also be aware that since your project is located near wetlands, your NPDES permit will require
dewatering operations without wetland impacts. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities
near wetlands can be found in the text of the general NPDES mining permit number NCG 020000 available
on our website, httpa/portal.ncdenr.org/web/wg/ws/su/npdessw. See Part III, Section E of the permit. An
approved Operation and Monitoring Plan is required for NPDES-permitted mining facilities and may be
required prior to permit issuance. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be
subject to enforcement action. A Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Washington Regional Office
within 60 days of your receipt of an NPDES permit. We encourage you to contact Thom Edgerton at the
Washington Regional Office at [phone] to address any wetland concerns for your facility in order to
ensure a successful NPDES application review. A copy ofyour application package (including the O&M
Plan) has been, forwarded to Mr. Edgerton.
Additionally, new coastal stonmwater management rules (SESSION LAW 2008-211) were implemented
October I, 2008. Due to these new rules you may be required to apply for an additional State Stormwater
Permit if you arc adding new impervious area. Please contact Scott Vinson in the Washington Regional
Office at [phone] to determine if you will be required to submit an application for this additional
permit.
If you have any questions concerning the NPDES permit approval process, please contact me at (919) 807-

STORMWATER DISCHARGES associated with activities classified as: r , er`r aril` R
SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) Code - 14XX Mineral Mining Industry (except as specified below)
The following activities are also included:
• Active or inactive mining operations (including borrow pits —except for NCDOT borrow pits) that discharge
stormwater contaminated with or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate
products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;
• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this Gener efrnir� `-'�V i
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with s rm aWfra?n esp4.h
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and W q rZ
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines g
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES -general Permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction',
For existing mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (A TO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction, modification, -or installation of any new treatment components at an existing site requires
an ATC. (if the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle process wastewater (even if commingled
with stormwater) at mining sites will require an ATC prior to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138.
Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which treatment facilities require an
ATC (summarized in Table 1 at the end of this form). For example, an ATC is required for treatment
of mine dewatering discharge from clay pits and non -closed -loop wastewater recycle systems. The
authorization to construct or continue to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of treatment facilities must comply with requirements
of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & A139-

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Marty R. Hurdle, 355 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944
Job Location: Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, 3S5 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944
County: Perquimans County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consultant
Date: December 31, 2010
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will not
degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine & Dewatering Process:
Marty Hurdle Sand Mine is a proposed new 4.7 acre excavation located 3 miles east of Hertford, NC on
high sandy land currently under cultivation with pasture and pine trees. There is an existing 0.57 acre
pond (Pond C) located 450 feet northeast of the proposed new excavation, and an existing 1.48 acre
crayfish pond (Pond D) located adjacent and east of Pond C. Pond C & D are connected by a 25ft x 8in
culvert buried under a causeway separating the two. Mr. Hurdle intends to use Ponds C & D when
dewatering the new excavation.
The proposed 4.7 acre excavation will be divided into 2 parts; the northern pond (Pond A, 1.3 acres) will
be excavated first, the southern pond (Pond B, 2.0 acres) will be dug afterward and separated by a 30ft
wide causeway. When both ponds are finished the causeway will be removed, making one large pond.
It will be necessary to dewater Ponds A & B as they are being excavated to allow the excavating
equipment to enter the excavated area and safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond
bottom. This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of Ponds A & B. It
is the intention of Mr. Hurdle to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time
dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 to 45 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for later
use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
In addition, and in lieu of as needed, water will be removed from the excavated ponds to use as a water
supply source to maintain correct water levels in Pond D for the existing commercial crayfish operation.
It is estimated that due to the porosity of the soil in the area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will
hold and disperse naturally most of the water removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation &
dewatering, without overflow from Ponds C & D.
Pond A (1.3 acres) will be excavated and dewatered by pumping groundwater through 6in and 8in
irrigation pipe 450 feet to Pond C, and sediment will be allowed to settle there before standpipe

overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Upon needs of the commercial crayfish operation, instead of
allowing Pond C to overflow directly, water will be allowed to flow into Pond D through an Bin culvert
under the causeway separating Ponds C & D. Excess water beyond what is needed to maintain correct
water levels in Pond D will be allowed to overflow to adjacent wetland forest from Pond D. Water will
be pumped by a bin gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at idle speed.
After excavation of Pond A is complete, excavation of Pond B will begin. Pond B (2.0 acres) will be
excavated and dewatered into adjacent Pond A and sediment will be allowed to settle there before
standpipe overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Alternately, if water is periodically needed to maintain
water levels in Pond D, water will be pumped from Pond A into Pond C, where it will be allowed to flow
by culvert into Pond D. Water will be pumped by a On gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at
idle speed.
There will be 3 overflow discharge points in the permit area: Pond A on the north end, Pond C on the
north end, and Pond D on the north end. All 3 discharge points will release clear water to an adjacent
wetland forest draining to Mill Creek and Perquimans River (see map for discharge point locations).
Each overflow will consist of a water height control structure located just below the top lip of the
sediment pond and will control the water level in the pond so that it will not overflow uncontrollably
onto adjacent lands and fields. The water -height control structure will consist of a 6in wide vertical PVC
pipe with an adjustable head that allows the operator to change the angle of the inlet up or down to
achieve the water height needed in the pond. The control structure will allow water to flow through a
buried 6in culvert pipe into an existing 3ft wide woods ditch located approximately 25ft from the edge
of the sediment pond. The overflow water from the sediment pond will exit the pipe through an outlet
stabilized with a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in the ditch. There is an existing control structure as
described above located on the north end of Pond C and Pond D, and these 2 structures have been in
place for the last 8 years and used as needed in Mr. Hurdle's permitted commercial crayfish operation.
After excavation of Pond B is complete, the operator will excavate and remove the causeway separating
Pond A and Pond B, as well as a portion of, or the entire, peninsula remaining between the two ponds
(see map). Upon finish, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine will be a single pond with an average 20ft depth and
maximum 25ft depth, and a maximum acreage of 4.7 acres if the entire peninsula is removed.
There will be no chemicals or flocculants added to the water in the sediment ponds to accelerate
sedimentation. Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the
overflow water reaches the wetland forest and then the waters of the State. In Pond A the water
control structure & overflow will be located approximately 360ft from the inlet of water from Pond B.
Pond A will be 1.3 acres in size and will have enough surface area to allow efficient sedimentation to
occur. In Pond C the water control structure & overflow will be located approximately 250ft from the
inlet of water from Pond A. In Pond D the water control structure & overflow will be located
approximately 360ft from the inlet of water from Pond A. There will be a minimum 2ft tall berm around
the perimeter of the excavation and the sediment pond to prevent offsite stormwater from entering
Pond A or B and damaging sedimentation rates.

Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland forest surrounding a blue -line creek on the east, west and north side of the proposed
excavation, located 75 —120 feet from the excavation edge. The operator will establish a 50ft
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to the east, west and north perimeter of the
permit area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with grass and pine tree ground
cover.
In addition there will be a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer. Inside of this unexcavated buffer, the operator will build and establish a narrow
300ft x 15ft x 3ft deep closed -end swale on the east and west side of the excavation, between it and the
wetland. The purpose of these swales is twofold: in the event that monitoring shows that the adjacent
wetlands are being affected or degraded by dewatering, the swales will be filled with water from the
excavation and kept full, to serve as device to hydrate the wetland located downhill from the
excavation. Secondly, there will be a small 6ft wide x 2ft tall sand berm running on the outside edge of
each swale, which will help the swale capture any eroded sediment from the excavation process. The
swales will only be built if observation shows any degradation of foliage in the wetland. If they are
needed they can be built quickly and will be grassed over to prevent erosion.
Another erosion control method used will be the establishment of a 6ft wide x 2ft tall sand berm around
the southern perimeter of the excavation. This will prevent erosion from damaging the excavation
edges on this high end of the excavation.
The operator will also establish a continuous silt fence along the outside edge of the unexcavated buffer
on the east, west and north sides of the excavation, which are the lowest portions of the area. This will
prevent any erosion from leaving the excavation area and damaging wetlands on the outside of the
undisturbed area during processing. All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area.
During mining operations and dewatering, the majority of the water leaving the excavation will remain
inside of the permit area and will only overflow occasionally. The majority of the water will be used in
Pond D to maintain needed water levels there. The two ponds are shallow, and there is a sand layer
below the bottom of the ponds. Currently water is constantly draining naturally back into the water
table through the pond bottoms. The porosity of the soil under Ponds C & D will allow most of the
water pumped into those ponds from dewatering to seep back into the ground naturally, and is in fact
why the operator needs a good supply of water to maintain correct water levels. Any excess water
overflowing from Ponds C or D will flow downstream towards the wetland forest surrounding the
excavation area, and then on to Mill Creek.
Maintaining the Water Height Control Structure, Settlement Pond, Ditches, and Irrigation System

Inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the 10 year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspect the water control structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
during periods of operation of the structure.
• Remove accumulated debris from the control structure inlet pipe.
• Inspect the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
damaged items as needed.
• Inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding and mulching as needed.
• Check frequently for burrowing animals. When found, remove the burrowing animals, replace
embankment materials and reseed.
• inspect ail ditches regularly leading from the excavation area for stormwater erosion, especially
after heavy rains, repair ditch banks as necessary with compacted earth, remove all
accumulated debris in ditch to allow free flow of water. Inspect riprap outlet stabilization
structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as necessary.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
• Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Process and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:
• All ponds in the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the operator to
identify any abnormal conditions.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.
• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Quarterly inspection of dewatering wastewater will be accomplished along with a general
inspection of the facility. Samples will be taken from sediment pond inlets for quality
comparison to sediment pond overflow outlet samples, if overflow is occurring.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the
excavation.
• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested

onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring a rain gauge monthly and after each rain event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from all wastewater point source discharges in
operation at the time.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond C sediment pond.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond D crayfish pond.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond A when used as sediment pond_
• Data will also be collected from samples taken from the mining wastewater inlet from Pond C
sediment pond for comparison to wastewater overflow samples from Ponds C or D.
• Point source discharge data: data from each site taken, date & time, general weather conditions,
pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required data.
• Adjacent wetlands will be inspected quarterly by physical inspection of foliage, walk-through,
photography, and soil samples observed on premises. Any degradation will be noted,
monitored & recorded. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining activity will include
alteration of dewatering process and installation of rehydration swales described previously.
DWQ will be consulted as needed; alterations to process will be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at 622 Rocky Hock Creels Road, Edenton, NC 27932: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspection, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.
BMP Conditions
The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering Marty Hurdle
Sand Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State.
The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDWQ prior to utilizing any
chemical flocculants at Marty Hurdle Sand Mine.

Robert,
The last bit of needed information was about whether the drainage feature on site were ditches or streams was
conducted by Chris Pullinger and is attached. Chris did not call the feature a stream which will allow Mr. Hurdle to place
several check dams within the feature to help per DLR with erosion and sediment control. I'm good with the 0&M.
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks. FYI, the DLR mine inspector, Gary Novak, stopped by my office yesterday after
getting my email to let me know that he was not aware that the drainage feature showed up as
a blue -line stream on the topo and that when he was on -site it appeared to him that it was
simply a ditch and instructed Mr. Elliot that check dams there would help in the bottom of
it. I told Gary that I was going to instruct Ken Elliot & Mr. Hurdle that before we would
approve the plans & before he could put the check dams in, he would have to request a stream
determination from our office to make sure that it's a ditch & not actually a stream.
Talk to you later,
Scott

I forgot about the check dams in the stream... that is a major concern. I agree that the
sediment needs to be stopped prior to reaching the stream. The soil sampling does seem
strange. Why would they do that at all? I would think we just need them to monitor the
water level.
I'm teleworking today and didn't bring home that file ... let me take one more look at this one
tomorrow before you get back to Mr. Elliot.

Robert,
after reviewing the last two letters & submitted information from Ken Elliot dated 2/23/11 &
3/10/11, I have one major concern and one minor comment. The minor comment is that the
proposed bi-weekly soil sampling of the wetlands may be a little excessive and not needed.
Ground water level monitoring yes, but I don't see the need for them to take soil samples
every 2 weeks while dewatering. I'm not sure why Mr. Elliot thought of including that.
The major concern I have are the proposed 4 rock check dams to be placed in the bottom of the
"Blue Line Creek Drainage ditch" which is an actual blue -line stream on the USGS topo map.
If Mr. Elliot has a concern about sediment reaching surface waters, he probably needs to stop
it prior to reaching the stream, not in the stream. (Not to mention, he'd have to get a
401/404 Certification from us and the ACOE to put fill in a stream & I'm sure they don't want
to go through that.) If there is anything else you see that I might have missed let me know
and I'll get back to Mr. Elliot.
Thanks,
Scott

All,
Please find attached the DWQ review sheet for the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine (DLR permit appl.#
72-22) located at 355 Swing Gate Rd, Hertford, NC. (The project has a corresponding DWQ
dewatering permit application in house to DWQ # NCG020786.) I have a few minor concerns
about the proposed sand mine. The first deals mainly with the proposed secondary access road
and it's crossing 401/404 wetlands and the need for a 401/404 certification through the
USACOE & DWQ. The second concern deals with altering their O&M plan to install and operate
the 2 hydration swales prior to finding any wetland degradation, not after.
If you have any questions please call or write.
Thanks,
Scott

On -Site Determination of Surface Waters of the State of North Carolina
Dear Mr. Hurdle:
At your request I conducted -an on -site determination to review a drainage feature located
on the subject property to identify any streams that would qualify as surface waters. The
project area is labeled as "201 1-0372" on the attached map initialed by me on May 3,
2011. The project is located on the north side of SR 1227, approximately 0.75 miles
north of the intersection of SR 1227 and US HWY 17.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water that is
circled, highlighted in red, and labeled as "2011-0372" on the attached map appears
to be a man-made ditch that would not be considered to be considered a natural
stream. This feature may be considered a jurisdictional feature by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers. This feature should be identified on any future plans for this property. The
owner (or future owners) should notify the DWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this
decision in any future correspondences concerning this property. This on -site
determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter,
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWQ or
Delegated Local Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer
rule may request a determination by the Director. A request for a determination by the
Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Cyndi Karoly, DWQ, 401

ELLIOTT CONSULTING
_January 3, 2011
To Whom It May Concern:
This mine pernut application is for a new 4.7-acre sand mine excavation constructed by
Alarty R. Hurdle, on his property at 355 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944, in
Perquimans County. The requested permit area is located on a high, sandy 25 acre parcel
and, upon establishment of proposed erosion & sediment control measures, will not present.
any problems regarding runoff to adjacent areas. The purpose of the excavation will be to
serve as a source of sand for resale, to provide a source of water for Mr. Hurdle's
commercial crayfish operation, as well as providing a pond for recreational use by Mr.
Hurdle's family. The excavated pond will also be available for use as a water source by the
local volunteer fire department.
There is an existing 0.57 acre pond {Pond C) located 450 feet northeast of the proposed
new excavation, and an existing 1.48 acre crayfish pond (Pond D) located adjacent and east
of Pond C. Pond C & D are eonnecte by a 25ft x 8111 culvert buried under a causeway
separating the two. Mr. Hurdle intends to use Ponds C & D when dewatering the new
excavation.
The proposed 4.7 acre excavation will be divided into 2 parts; the northern pond (Pond
A, 1.3 acres) will be excavated first, the southern pond (Pond B, 2.0 acres) will be dug
afterward and separated by a 30ft wide causeway. When both ponds are finished the
causeway will be removed, making one large pond.
It will be necessary to dewater Ponds A & B as they are being excavated to allow the
excavating equipment to enter the excavated area and safely and efficiently remove the sand
from the pond bottom. This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of
the edges of Ponds A & B. It is the intention of Mr. Hurdle to only dewater the excavations
as needed, which will not entail full-time dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 to 45 days which will
allow excavating equipment to remove approximately 150 loads up to ground level where it
will be stockpiled for later use. Whcn the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation
area will again be dewatercd, and another quantity of sand will be excavated.
In addition, and in lieu of as needed, water will be removed from the excavated ponds to
use as a water supply source to maintain correct water levels in Pond D for the existing
commercial crayfish operation. It is estimated that due to the porosity of the soil in the area,
Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will hold and disperse naturally most of the water
removed from Ponds A & 13 during their excavation & dewatering, without Overflow from
Ponds C & D.
Pond A 1.3 acres) will be excavated and dewatered by pumping groundwater through
bin and Sin irrigation pipe 450 feet to Pond C, and sediment will be allowed to settle there
before standpipe overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Upon needs of the commercial
crayfish operation, instead of allowing Pond C to overflow directly, water will be allowed to
flow into Pond D through an Sin culvert under the causeway separating Ponds C & D.

— 2 - January 3, 2011
Excess water beyond what is needed to maintain correct water levels in Pond D will be
allowed to overflow to adjacent wetland forest from Pond D. Water will be pumped by a bin
gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at idle speed.
After excavation of Pond A is complete, excavation of Pond B will begin. Pond 13 2.
acres will be excavated and dewatered into adjacent Pond A and sediment will be a lowed to
settle there before standpipe overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Alternately, if water is
periodically needed to maintain water levels in Pond D, water will be pumped from Pond A
into Pond C, where it will be allowed to flow by culvert uito Pond D. Water will be pumped
by a Gin gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at idle speed.
There will be 3 overflow discharge pouits in the permit area: Pond A on the north end,
Pond C on the north end, and Pond D on die north end. All 3 discharge points will release
clear water to an adjacent wetland forest draining to Mill Creek and Perquimans River..
After excavation of fond B is complete, the operator will excavate and remove die
causeway separating Pond A and Pond B, as well as a portion of, or the entire, peninsula
remaining between the two ponds (see map). Upon finish, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine will be
a single pond with an average 20ft depth and maximum 25ft depth, and a maximum acreage
of 4.7 acres if the entire peninsula is removed.
There is wetland forest surrounding a blue -line creek on the east, west and north side of
the proposed excavation, located 75 — 120 feet from the excavation edge. The operator will
establish a 50ft undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to the east, west
and north perimeter of the permit area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as
pasture with grass and pine tree ground cover.
In addition there will be a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles,
and sediment & erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the
excavation and the undisturbed buffer. Inside of this unexcavated buffer, the operator will
build and establish a narrow 300ft x I5ft x 3ft deep closed -end Swale on the cast and west
side of the excavation, between it and the wetland. The purpose of these swales is twofold:
in the event that monitoring shows that the adjacent wetlands arc being affected or degraded
by dewateruig, the swales will be filled with water from the excavation and kept full, to serve
as device to hydrate the wetland located downhill from the excavation. Secondly; there will
ft .v be a small Gide x 2ft tall sand berm running on the outside edge of each Swale, which
will help the swale capture any eroded sediment from the excavation process. The swales
will only be built if observation shows any degradation of foliage in the wetland. If they are
needed they can be built quickly and will be grassed over to prevent erosion.
Another erosion control method used will be the establishment of a Gft wide x 2ft tall
sand berm around the southern perimeter of the excavation. 'Phis will prevent erosion from
damaging the excavation edges on this high end of the excavation.
The operator will also establish a continuous silt fence along the outside edge of the
unexcavated buffer on the east, west and north sides of the excavation, which are the lowest
portions of the area. This will prevent any erosion from leaving the excavation area and

— 3 — January 3, 2011
damaging wetlands on the outside of the undisturbed area during processing. AD erosion
and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area.
During mining operations and dcwatering, the majority of the water leaving the
excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow occasionally. The
majority of the water will be used in Pond D to maintain needed water levels there. The two
ponds are shallow, and there is a sand layer belotiv the bottom of the ponds. Currently water
is constantly draining naturally back into the water table through the pond bottoms. The
porosity of the soil under Ponds C & D will allow most of the water pumped into those
ponds from dewatering to seep back into the ground naturally, and is in fact why the
operator needs a good supply of water to maintain correct water levels. Any excess water
overflowing from Ponds C or D will flow downstream towards the wetland forest
surrounding the excavation area, and then on to Mill Creek.
The excavation area is located geographically 500 feet from the nearest. dwelling
(operator's residence) and 450 feet from the nearest public highway in a lightly populated
area, and is accessible only by a private, gated access road. Distance from highways and
dwellings along with wooded areas and fields on all sides of the excavation area provide
adequate screening of the mining operation, and the site is barely visible from the closest
highway. Access to the permit area is linited by private property, and private road access.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from NCDENR Land Quality and Water Quality,
Mr. Hurdle plans to excavate the mine to an average depth of 20 feet below natural ground
level, and will include construction of proper cut slopes on all sides of the excavated area, as
required in the pernut. Reclamation of the mine area will include grading, leveling;, and
grassing of all affected areas. Mr. Hurdle plans to seed all sloped areas with ground cover to
provide good erosion control.
All adjacent landowners have been contacted and have been made aware of the
proposed mining and dewatering operation. The Perquiinans County Manager has been
contacted regarding this application and land entry agreements have been obtained. The
mine area will be well marked with warning and keep out signs to prevent inadvertent public
access.
Mr. Hurdle does hereby request approval for this mining and dewatering permit
application, and asks that it be expedited as soon as possible. Mr. Hurdlc appreciates your
consideration of this permit application and looks forward working with NCDENR in
coming years.
Sincerely,
Ken Elliott

C. llll0TECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and i'eferc,me the
cequeirc•e to the mine Attach additional sheets as needed.
1. Acquire proper- permits from NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
2. Site laid out with 50ft undisturbed butter on north, northeast & west side of permit area
adjacent to wetlands, and 25ft unexcavated buffer around entire excavation area.
�. Operator installs silt fence around north, northeast and west perimeter of lrnexcavated buffer
between unexcavated and undisturbed buffer. Silt fence will also be installed along perimeter
of northeast access road where it crosses wetland forest.
4. 4. Operator will dig excavation in 4 phases (see attached phase diagraills)-.
i. Operator will excavate Pond A (1.308 acres) to full depth by dewatering into existing
Pored C, then reclaiming side slopes in Pond A. Sediment Pond C will overflow from
a point source discharge overflow pipe on north end of pond into adjacent wetland
forest. Pond A will then serve as sediment pond for further adjacent excavation
dewatering in Pond B.
ii. Operator will next excavate Pond B (2.020 acres) to full depth by dewaterin into
Pond A. Pond A will overflow from point source discharge point on north end of
pond. Depending on need; Pond A will instead be dewatered into Pond C, and
overflow on the north end of that pond, or into Pond D and overflow there.
iii. Operator will then excavate & remove causeway between Pond A & fond B, leaving
one larger pond (3.560 acres) with penitnsllla oil northeast side.
iv. At his discretion, Operator will excavate & remove all or part of rcmaining peninsula
on northeast side of pond to increase total excavation area. Operator will decide how
much to remove depending oil needs & wishes at that time. 1�ntlre peninsula wilt be
permitted to be removed if desired.
5. The primary purpose of this excavation will be to provide a source of fresh water for the
operator's crayfish pond (Pond .D). it is estimated that due to the porosity of the soil in the
area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will hold and disperse naturally most Of the
water removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation & dewatering, without overflow
from Ponces C & D. All 3 proposed point sO111-CC discharges will be permitted by DWQ beloro
dewatering, and will be monitoreduringhathe permit term,
6, Each excavation area will in turn firstdve topsoil removed dowel to 2.5 feet below natural
ground level and stockpiled, and then sand will be dug froth excavation area by excavator
down to average 10 feet below existing natural ground level, and stockpiled for later removal
from premises.
7. To complete lull depth excavation and slope construction of the pond edges, each proposed
excavation will have to be dewatered.
8. Pond A: operator- will establish a dewatering pump on the northeast corner of the excavation,
and will run bin (expanding to Sin) irrigation pipe to existing Pond C (0.57 acres) located 450
feet east of the Pond A. Pond C will serve as sediment pond for excavation & dewatering of
Pond A and will be permitted to overflow form a point source discharge located oil the north
end of that pond, which will overflow into ail adjacent wetland forestleading to Mill Creel;
Perquinians River. Pond C will also serve as a water source for existing; Crayfish Poled D,
currently permitted by NC Dept. of Agriculture. Depending on need, part of water from
Pond C will instead be directed to and flow into Pond D by a culvert connecting the two
ponds, and will overflow if necessary from a point source discharge overflow pipe on north
end of that pond, into adjacent wetland forest,
9. Fxcavation of Pond B will begin after the north, east & west side slopes of Pond A are
completed & ground cover reclamation starred. P011d B will be eXC,1Vated soutfl Of'1301)d A,
leaving a 30ft wide causeway between the two ponds. Operator will establish a dewatering
pump an the causeway, and will dewater Pond B into Pond A, which will serve as a sediment
pond. Pond A will have an overflow discharge point established on the north end ofit which
will overflow into an adjacent wetland forest, leading to N11111 Creel: & Percliumans I�iver.
Alternatively, upon deed, Pond A will be dewatered into Pored C (and Pond D) as described
above.
10, To dewater the Pond A excavation, water will be pumped slowly into Pond C. Punlp will run

1) The primary purpose of this excavation will be to provide a source of fresh water for the
operator's crayfish pond (Pond D). It is estimated that due to the porosity of'the soil in the
area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will hold and disperse naturally most ofthe water
removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation & dewatering, without over11ow from
Ponds C & D. All 3 proposed point source discharges will be permitted by DWQ before
dewatering, and will be monitored during the permit term.
2) To complete full depth excavation and slope construction of the pond edges, each proposed
excavation will have to be dewatered.
3) Pond A: operator will establish a dewatering pump on the northeast corner of'1he excavation,
and will run bin (expanding to gin) irrigation pipe to existing Pond C (0.57 acres) located 450
feet east of the Pond A. Pond C will serve as sediment pond for excavation & dewatering of
Pond A and will be permitted to overflow form a point source discharge located on the north
end of that pond, which will overflow into an adjacent wetland forest, leading to Mill Creek &
Perquimans River. Pond C will also serve as a water source for- existing Crayfish Pond D,
currently permitted by NC Dept. of Agriculture. Depending on need, part of water from Pond
C will instead be directed to and flow into Pond D by a culvert connecting the two ponds, and
will over -flow if necessary from a point source discharge overflow pipe on north end of that
pond, into adjacent wetland forest.
4) Excavation of Pond B will begin after the north, east & west side slopes of Pond A are
completed & ground cover reclamation started. Pond B will be excavated south of fond A,
leaving a 301t wide causeway betkveen the two ponds. Operator will establish a dewatc r'mg
pump oft the causeway, and will dewater- Pond B into Pond A, which will serve as a sediment
pond. Pond A will have an overflow discharge point established on the north end which will
overflow into an adjacent wetland forest, leading to Mill Creek & Perguimans River.
Alternatively, upon need, Pond A will be dewatered into -Pond C (and Pond D) as described
above.
5) To dewater the Pond A excavation, water will be pumped slowly into Pond C. Pump wi31 rr.rn
several days continuously at idle speed until water level at the excavation has decreased to a
level that will accommodate further excavation. Water will either overflow from Pond C, or
will flow from Pond C into Pond D via a culvert located under a causeway separating those 2
ponds. -Water will be held in both ponds as needed for crayfish production, excess water will
overflow.
6) Overflow water will flow northward through an existing culvert from Pond C or Pond D 2511
to an existing; 50ft long drainage ditch on the north side of the permit area. This ditch leads to a
blue -line creek that flows westward 750 feet where it joins Mill Creek- Mill Creek flows west
and south 1.7 miles where it joins Perquimans River. The excavation will be dewatered as
needed by the owner during the permit period in order to achieve full depth excavation.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Marty R. Hurdle, 355 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944
Job Location: Marty Hurdle Sand Mine, 355 Swing Gate Road, Hertford, NC 27944
County: Perquimans County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consultant
Date: December 31, 2010
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will not
degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine & Dewatering Process:
Marty Hurdle Sand Mine is a proposed new 4.7 acre excavation located 3 miles east of Hertford, NC on
high sandy land currently under cultivation with pasture and pine trees. There is an existing 0.57 acre
pond (Pond C) located 450 feet northeast of the proposed new excavation, and an existing 1.48 acre
crayfish pond (Pond D) located adjacent and east of Pond C. Pond C & D are connected by a 25ft x 8in
culvert buried under a causeway separating the two. Mr. Hurdle intends to use Ponds C & D when
dewatering the new excavation.
The proposed 4.7 acre excavation will be divided into 2 parts; the northern pond (Pond A, 1.3 acres) will
be excavated first, the southern pond (Pond B, 2.0 acres) will be dug afterward and separated by a 30ft
wide causeway. When both ponds are finished the causeway will be removed, making one large pond.
it will be necessary to dewater Ponds A & B as they are being excavated to allow the excavating
equipment to enter the excavated area and safely and efficiently remove the sand from the pond
bottom. This will allow for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the edges of Ponds A & B. It
is the intention of Mr. Hurdle to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time
dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 to 45 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads up to ground level where it will be stockpiled for later
use. When the stockpile is depleted from usage, the excavation area will again be dewatered, and
another quantity of sand will be excavated.
In addition, and in lieu of as needed, water will be removed from the excavated ponds to use as a water
supply source to maintain correct water levels in Pond D for the existing commercial crayfish operation.
,It is estimated that due to the porosity of the soil in the area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will
hold and disperse naturally most of the water removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation &
dewatering, without overflow from Ponds C & D.
Pond A (1.3 acres) will be excavated and dewatered by pumping groundwater through bin and 8in
irrigation pipe 450 feet to Pond C, and sediment will be allowed to settle there before standpipe

overflow to adjacent wetland forest. upon needs of the commercial crayfish operation, instead of
allowing Pond C to overflow directly, water will be allowed to flow into Pond D through an Bin culvert
under the causeway separating Ponds C & D. Excess water beyond what is needed to maintain correct
water levels in Pond D will be allowed to overflow to adjacent wetland forest from Pond D. Water will
be pumped by a 6in gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at idle speed.
After excavation of Pond A is complete, excavation of Pond B will begin. Pond B (2.0 acres) will be
excavated and dewatered into adjacent Pond A and sediment will be allowed to settle there before
standpipe overflow to adjacent wetland forest. Alternately, if water is periodically needed to maintain
water levels in Pond D, water will be pumped from Pond A into Pond C, where it will be allowed to flow
by culvert into Pond D. Water will be pumped by a bin gasoline -powered transfer pump operating at
idle speed.
There will be 3 overflow discharge points in the permit area: Pond A on the north end, Pond C on the
north end, and Pond D on the north end. All 3 discharge points will release clear water to an adjacent
wetland forest drainer to Mill Creek and Perquimans River (see map for discharge point locations).
Each overflow will consist of a water height control structure located just below the top lip of the
sediment pond and will control the water level in the pond so that it will not overflow uncontrollably
onto adjacent lands and fields. The water -height control structure will consist of a 6in wide vertical PVC
pipe with an adjustable head that allows the operator to change the angle of the inlet up or down to
achieve the water height needed in the pond. The control structure will allow water to flow through a
buried 6in culvert pipe into an existing 3ft wide woods ditch located approximately 25ft from the edge
of the sediment pond. The overflow water from the sediment pond will exit the pipe through an outlet
stabilized with a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in the ditch. There is an existing control structure as
described above located on the north end of Pond C and Pond D, and these 2 structures have been in
place for the last 8 years and used as needed in Mr. Hurdle's permitted commercial crayfish operation.
After excavation of Pond B is complete, the operator will excavate and remove the causeway separating
Pond A and Pond B, as well as a portion of, or the entire, peninsula remaining between the two ponds
(see map). Upon finish, Marty Hurdle Sand Mine will be a single pond with an average 20ft depth and
maximum 25ft depth, and a maximum acreage of 4.7 acres if the entire peninsula is removed.
There will be no chemicals or flocculants added to the water jp th sed{meat ponds to accelerate
, p+i- 5o s J
sedimentation. Time and distance will allow al a dim amen tion to occur to acceptable levels before the
overflow water reaches the wetland forest and then the waters of the State. In Pond A the water
control structure & overflow will be located approximately 360ft from the inlet of water from Pond B.
Pond A will be 1.3 acres in size and will have enough surface area to allow efficient sedimentation to
occur. In Pond C the water control structure & overflow will be located approximately 250ft from the
inlet of water from Pond A. In Pond D the water control structure & overflow will be located
approximately 360ft from the inlet of water from Pond A. There will be a minimum 2ft tall berm around
the perimeter of the excavation and the sediment pond to prevent offsite stormwater from entering
Pond A or B and damaging sedimentation rates.

Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland forest surrounding a blue -line creek on the east, west and north side of the proposed
excavation, located 75 —120 feet from the excavation edge. The operator will establish a 50ft
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to the east, west and north perimeter of the
permit area. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as pasture with grass and pine tree ground
cover.
In addition there will be a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and sediment &
erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation and the
undisturbed buffer. inside of this unexcavated buffer, the operator will build and establish a narrow
300ft x 15ft x 3ft deep closed -end swale on the east and west side of the excavation, between it and the
wetland. The purpose of these swales is twofold n`the eve t that monitoring shows that.the_adjac'ent-
wetiands are'being affected or"degraded by d� ewate nir g the swales will be filled with water from the
excavation and kept full, to serve as device to hydrate the wetland located downhill from the
excavation. Secondly, there will be a small 6ft wide x 2ft tall sand berm running on the outside edge of
each Swale, which will help the swale capture any eroded sediment from the excavation process. T
Je
Iswales will only be built if'observation sshows any degradation of foliage in the_wetlands If they are
needed they can be built quickly and will be grassed over to prevent erosion.
Another erosion control method used will be the establishment of a 6ft wide x 2ft tall sand berm around
the southern perimeter of the excavation. This will prevent erosion from damaging the excavation
edges on this high end of the excavation.
The operator will also establish a continuous silt fence along the outside edge of the unexcavated buffer
on the east, west and north sides of the excavation, which are the lowest portions of the area. This will
prevent any erosion from leaving the excavation area and damaging wetlands on the outside of the
undisturbed area during processing. All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area.
During mining operations and dewatering, the majority of the water leaving the excavation will remain
inside of the permit area and will only overflow occasionally7The majority of the water will be used in
Pond D to maintain needed water levels there. The two ponds are shallow, and there is a sand layer
below the bottom of the ponds. Currently water is constantly draining naturally back into the water
table through the pond bottoms. The porosity of the soil under Ponds C & D will allow most of the
water pumped into those ponds from dewatering to seep back into the ground naturally, and is in fact
why the operator needs a good supply of water to maintain correct water levels. Any excess water
overflowing from Ponds C or D will flow downstream towards the wetland forest surrounding the
excavation area, and then on to Mill Creek.
Mainiaining.the W�at ��Height Control'Structutl5ettlement Pond, Ditches, and irrigation System

Inspections and maintenance are required to obtain the intended function of safely dewatering the sand
mine, and to maintain the life of any adjacent wetlands or waters of the State. Items to inspect and
maintain during the 10 year life of the mine dewatering permit are:
• Inspect the�water control.structures regularly, especially following heavy rains and runoff, or
during periods of operation of the structure.
• Remove accumulated debris from the control structure inlet pipe.
• Inspect the structure for excessive settlement or seepage.
• Inspect all components of the structure, including appurtenances, and repair or replace any
damaged items as needed.
• inspect embankments, berms and appurtenant structures, and repair as needed.
• Repair any damage to vegetated areas or berms with compacted earth fill, reshaping, sodding,
reseeding and mulching as needed.
• Check frequently for burrowing animals. When found, remove the burrowing animals, replace
embankment materials and reseed.
• Inspect all ditches regularly leading from the excavation area for stormwater erosion, especially
after heavy rains, repair ditch banks as necessary with compacted earth, remove all
accumulated debris in ditch to allow free flow of water. Inspect riprap outlet stabilization
structures in ditches regularly, replace dislodged rock as necessary.
• Promptly repair all leaks in delivery facilities by replacing valves, fittings, gaskets, and worn or
damaged parts.
• Maintain all screens, filters, valves, timers and other electrical and mechanical equipment in
good operating condition, following manufacturer's recommendations
Monitoring the Process and Effects of Dewatering
Analytical and qualitative monitoring of mine dewatering wastewater will be in accordance with the
NCG020000 permit, as follows:
• All ponds in the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine permit area will be inspected daily by the operator to
identify any abnormal conditions.
• Special inspections will be conducted immediately following severe storms, vandalism, and
other significant events.
• Dewatering process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the excavation.
• Quarterly inspection of dewatering wastewater will be accomplished along with a general
inspection of the facility. Samples will be taken from sediment pond inlets for quality
comparison to sediment pond overflow outlet samples, if overflow is occurring.
• Overflow of wastewater process will be inspected daily during periods of dewatering the
excavation.
• Outflow of dewatering wastewater will be monitored quarterly at the overflow exit stabilization
structure for pH, settleable solids, turbidity, and total flow. Samples will be collected and tested

onsite for pH, and the remainder will be tested for the remaining parameters by a North
Carolina certified lab.
• Rain gauge data will be collected by monitoring a rain gauge monthly and after each rain event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from all wastewater point source discharges in
operation at the time.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond C sediment pond.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond D crayfish pond.
o Overflow discharge point on Pond A when used as sediment pond.
• Data will also be collected from samples taken from the mining wastewater inlet from Pond C
sediment pond for comparison to wastewater overflow samples from Ponds C or D.
• Point source discharge data: data from each site taken, date & time, general weather conditions,
pH of sample, status of process at point source, inlet or outlet, other DWQ required data.
• Adjacent wetlands will be inspected quarterly by physical inspection of foliage, walk-through,
photography, and soil samples observed on premises. Any degradation will be noted,
monitored & recorded. Solutions to any degradation caused by any mining activity will include
Q alteration of dewatering process and installation of rehydration swales described previously.
DWQ will be consulted as needed; alterations to process will be recorded.
• Elliott Consulting will maintain the following records in a permanent file at the Elliott Consulting
office at 622 Rocky Hock Creek Road, Edenton, NC 27932: a record of all significant actions
taken; as -built drawings; permits; analytical results from sampling; and related material. Copies
of all inspection, monitoring reports and lab analyses shall be provided to NCDWQ on a regular
basis and as requested.
BMP Conditions
• The permittee will utilize best management practices to ensure that dewatering Marty Hurdle
Sand Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State.
• The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDWQ prior to utilizing any
chemical flocculants at Marty Hurdle Sand Mine.

1'L.LIOTT CONSULTING
January 20, 2013
To Whom It May Concern:
This permit application is for a modification of existing permit #72-22, a 4.77-acre sand
mine excavation constructed by Marty R. Hurdle, on his property at 355 Swing Gate Road,
Hertford, NC 27944, in Perquimans County. The permit area is located on a high, sandy 25
-acre parcel and, upon establishment of proposed erosion & sediment control measures, will
not present any problems regarding runoff to adjacent areas. The purpose of the excavation
is to serve as a source of sand for resale, to provide a source of water for Mr. Hurdle's
commercial crayfish operation, and to establish a pond for recreational use.
The current 4.77 acre excavation is divided into 2 parts; the northern pond (Pond A,
1.55 acres) has been excavated and side slopes have been reclaimed with ground cover on 3
sides. Excavation of the southern pond (Pond 13, 3.22 acres) has started and is
approximately 50% complete. The 2 ponds are separated by a 30ft wide causeway, and wheii
both ponds are finished the causeway will be removed, making one large 4.77 acre pond.
Pond A was originally permitted to be dewatered duriaig construction. Upon
completion, dewatering has ceased from Pond A, and Pond A serves now as a sediment
pond for dewaterirag Pond B. During dewatering, Pond A overflows through a permitted
pour[ source discharge at its northern end. This discharge point releases clear water to an
adjacent wetland forest draining to Mill Creek and Pcrquimans River.
Dewatering of Pond B allows for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the
edges of fond B. It is the intention of Mr. Hurdle to only dewater the excavations as
needed, and does not entail full-time dewatering.
Pond A is currently being used as a source of water for 2 crawfish ponds located east of
the excavation. These ponds were originally permitted to be used as sediment ponds for the
dewatering of Pond A. That is no longer the case, and this modification is requesting release
of that portion of the original permit area to be removed.
After excavation of Pond 13 is complete, the operator will excavate and remove the
causeway separating Pond A and Pond B. When finished, this will be a single pond with an
average 20ft depth and maximum 25ft depth, and a maximum acreage of 4.77 acres.
Finally, Mr. Hurdle will start excavation of an additional 0.63 acre pond (Pond E} located
southeast and adjacent to the current excavation. This location entails new acreage added to
the current permit area through this modification.
"There is wetland forest surrounding a blue --line creek on the cast, west and north side of
the current excavation, Iocated 75 — 120 feet from the excavation edge. The operator has
established a 50ft undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) adjacent to the east, west
and north perimeter of the permit area. This buffer is being maintained by the operator as
pasture with grass and pine tree ground cover.

I I ,

i
-- 2 -- _January 20, 2013
In addition there is a 25ft unexcavated buffer (may contain roadways, stockpiles, and
sediment & erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the
excavation and the undisturbed buffer. Inside of this unexcavated buffer, the operator will
build and establish a narrow 300ft x 15ft x 3ft deep closed -end swale on the east side of the
excavation, and a 250ft x 15ft x 3ft deep closed -end Swale on the west side of the excavation,
between it and the wetland. These swales provide maintenance of groundwater in areas
adjacent to existing wetlands.
The operator has also established a continuous silt fence along the outside edge of the
unexcavated buffer on the east and west sides of the excavation, which are the lowest
portions of the area. This will prevent any erosion from leaving the excavation area and
damaging wetlands on the outside of the undisturbed area during processing. All erosion
and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area.
The excavation area is located geographically 500 feet from the nearest dwelling
(operator's residence) and 450 feet from the nearest public highway in a lightly populated
area, and is accessible only by a private, gated access road. Distance from highways and
dwellings along with wooded areas and fields on all sides of the excavation area provide
adequate screening of the mining operation, and the site is barely visible from the closest
highway.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from NCDENR Land Quality and Water Quality,
Mr. hurdle plans to excavate the mine to an average depth of 20 feet below natural ground
level, and will include construction of proper cut slopes on all sides of the excavated area, as
required in the permit. Reclamation of the mine area will include grading, leveling, and
grassing of all affected areas. Mr. Hurdle plans to seed all sloped areas with ground cover to
provide good erosion control.
All adjacent landowners have been contacted and have been made aware of this mining
operation and modification of the permit. The Yerquimans County Manager has been
contacted regarding this modification application and land entry agreements have been
obtained. The mine area has been well marked with warming and keep out signs to prevent
inadvertent public access.
Mr. Flurdle does hereby request approval for this permit modification, and asks that it be
expedited as soon as possible. Mr. Hurdle appreciates your consideration of this permit
application and looks forward working with NCDENR in coming years.
Sincerely,
Ken Elliott

C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the mine map(a). Attach additional sheets as needed.
1. 2011 Permit: Acquire proper permits from NC Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
-� 2. 2013 Mod: Permit boundaries set for addition of 1.98 acres of land to southeast of original
permit area.
3. 2011 Permit: Site laid out with 50ft undisturbed buffer on north, northeast &. west side of
permit area adjacent to wetlands, and 25ft unexcavated buffer around entire excavation area.
�- 2013 Mod: 5011 wide undisturbed buffer extended to southeast corner of new permit area,
along with 25ft wide unexcavated buffer around new area laid out.
4. 2011 Permit: Operator installs silt fence around north, northeast and west perimeter of
unexcavated buffer between unexcavated and undisturbed buffer. Silt fence will also be
installed along perimeter of northeast access road where it crosses wetland forest.
2013 Mod: silt fence extended to southeast corner of new permit area, between undisturbed
buffer and unexcavated buffer. Silt fence removed from perimeter northeast access road
crossing wetland, which is being taken out of permit area.
S. Operator will dig excavation in 4 phases (see attached phase diagrams):
i. 2011 Permit: Operator will excavate Pond A (1.55 acres) to full depth by dewatering
into existing Pond C, then reclaiming side slopes in Pond A. Sediment Pond C will
overflow from a point source discharge overflow pipe on north end of pond into
adjacent wetland forest. Pond A will then serve as sediment pond for further adjacent
excavation & dewatering in Pond B. 2013 Mod: Excavation & slope reclamation
complete in Pond A, no further dewatering into existing Pond C (crawfish pond),
majority of Pond A released from reclamation bond.
ii. 2011 Permit: Operator will next excavate Pond B (2.020 acres) to full depth by
dewatering into Pond A. Pond A will overflow from point source discharge point on
north end of pond. Depending on need, Pond A will instead be dewatered into Pond
C, and overflow on the north end of that pond, or into Pond D and overflow there.
-r 2013 Mod: Operator will not dewater Pond A into Ponds C or D (crawfish); operator
will only dewater into pond A & overflow from point source discharge on north end
of Pond A as previously permitted.
iii. 2011 Permit: After excavation of Pond B, operator will then excavate & remove
causeway between Pond A & Pond B, leaving one larger pond (3.560 acres) with
peninsula on northeast side. 2013 Mod: Operator elected to remove peninsula &
leave one large pond (4.77 acres).
iv. 2011 Permit: At his discretion, operator will excavate & remove all or part of
remaining peninsula on northeast side of pond to increase total excavation area.
Operator will decide how much to remove depending on needs & wishes at that time.
Entire peninsula will be permitted to be removed if desired. 2013 Mod: Operator
�— elected to remove peninsula & leave one large pond (4.77 acres).
v, 2013 Mod: Operator will excavate new separate 0.63 acre sand pit (Pond E) 35 feet
southeast of main excavation.
6. 2011 Permit: The primary purpose of this excavation will be to provide a source of fresh
water for the operator's crayfish pond (Pond D). It is estimated that due to the porosit of the
soil in the area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will hold and disperse natur2y most
of the water removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation & dewatering, without
overflow from Ponds C & D. All 3 proposed point source discharges will be permitted by
DWQ before dewatering, and will be monitored during the permit term. 2013 Mod: Operator
will be discharging to waters of the State from Pond A only. Pond A will also supply
crawfish ponds C & D with fresh water per need but with no discharge to waters of State.
7. 2011 Permit: Each excavation area will in turn first have topsoil removed down to 2.5 feet
below natural ground level and stockpiled, and then sand will be dug from excavation area by
excavator down to average 10 feet below existing natural ground level, and stockpiled for
later removal from premises. 2013 Mod: No change.

the excavation, and will run 6in (expanding to Bin) irrigation pipe to' existing Pond C (0.57
acres) located 450 feet east of the Pond A. Pond C will serve as sediment pond for
excavation & dewatering of Pond A and will be permitted to overflow from a point source
discharge located on the north end of that pond, which will overflow into an adjacent wetland
forest, leading to Mill Creek & Perquimans River. Pond C will also serve as a water source
for existing Crayfish Pond D, currently permitted by NC Dept. of Agriculture. Depending on
need, part of water from Pond C will instead be directed to and flow into Pond D by a culvert
connecting the two ponds, and will overflow if necessary from a point source discharge
overflow pipe on north end of that pond, into adjacent wetland forest. 2013 Mod: Pond C
will be used for crawfish production only, not as sediment pond for mine dewatering from
Pond A. Pond A will serve as water source for crawfish pond.
10. 2011 Permit: Excavation of Pond B will begin after the north, east & west side slopes of
Pond A are completed & ground cover reclamation started. Pond B will be excavated south
of Pond A, leaving a 30ft wide causeway between the two ponds. Operator will establish a
dewatering pump on the causeway, and will dewater Pond B into Pond A, which will serve as
a sediment pond. Pond A will have an overflow discharge point established on the north end
of it which will overflow into an adjacent wetland forest, leading to Mill Creek &
Perquimans River. AIternatively, upon need, Pond A will be dewatered into Pond C (and
Pond D) as described above. 2013 Mod: No change except no mine dewatering into Pond C.
Overflow from Pond A will be through previously permitted discharge on north edge of
Pond A.
11. 2011 Permit: To dewater the Pond A excavation, water will be pumped slowly into Pond C.
Pump will run several days continuously at idle speed until water level at the excavation has
decreased to a level that will accommodate further excavation. Water will either overflow
from Pond C, or will flow from Pond C into Pond D via a culvert located under a causewayy
separating those 2 ponds.' Water will be held in both ponds as needed for crayf sh
production; excess water will overflow. 2013 Mod: No dewatering into Ponds C or D; Pond
A will serve as water source for crawfish ponds with no overflow from them.
12. 2011 Permit: Overflow water will flow northward through an existing culvert from Pond C
or Pond D 25ft to an existing 50ft long drainage ditch on the north side of the permit area.
This ditch leads to a blue -line creek that flows westward 750 feet where it joins Mill Creek.
Mill Creek flows west and south 1.7 miles where it joins Perquimans River. The excavation
will be dewatered as needed by the owner during the permit period in order to achieve full
depth excavation. 2013 Mod: No dewatering into Ponds C or D; Pond A will serve as water
source for crawfish ponds with no overflow from them.
13. 2011 Permit: Side slopes of Pond B will be reclaimed during dewatering. 2013 Mod: No
change.

Photo 1:New excavated swale
Photo 2: Swale after rain
Similar to a contour bank, this rehydration swale is being constructed to ensure hydration of nearby
wetlands adjacent to the permit boundary of the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine. The Swale will consist of 3
100-foot long by 10-foot wide closed -end swales that will parallel the land contour and which will
overlap or butt up to each other. The swales will be located along the western and eastern unexcavated
boundaries between the excavation area and the wetland. Unlike a contour bank, there will be no
water flow but water will collect in the Swale from rainfall and by intentional filling from the excavation
during periods of dewatering. The water in the swales will be absorbed by the Swale and taken
underground to recharge the adjacent wetland.
Construction: A flat-bottomed V-shaped level closed -end trench 6-foot wide by 1-2 feet deep will be
dug parallel to the contour of the land in 100-foot lengths. The series of 3 1DD-foot closed end swales
will overlap or butt to each other. Trench will have minimum 2-ft wide flat bottom and 2:1 or flatter
sloped sides. The excavated soil will be placed uncompacted along the bottom side of the trench in a
round mound shaped berm minimum 1-ft high and 4-ft wide, which will allow surface run off from
above the Swale to flow into the Swale and be collected there, and then be absorbed into the ground.
The Swale berm will be seeded with ground cover to prevent erosion. The side slopes and Swale
depression will be seeded to encourage ground cover growth. There will be a 2-ft tall silt fence erosion
barrier constructed behind and below the Swale berm to collect any sedimentation from the Swale.

A 6-foot wide rock baffle consisting of rip -rap and smaller gravel will be constructed in each swale berm
at its lowest contour point to allow passive discharge of overflow water during periods of heavy rain,
through a level sill spillway approximately 9-feet long. This will spill a level sheet of water 3-5 mm deep
to run across the surrounding grass, through the silt fence, and into the wetland. This sheet flow water
will prevent concentrated flow and erosion of the landscape.
Coarse aaarecate
Annual Maintenance:
• Inspect rock baffle for clogging and correct the problem.
• Inspect and correct erosion problems in the sand/soil bed of swales.
• Inspect grass along side -slopes for erosion and formation of rills or gullies and correct.
• Based on inspection, plant an alternative grass species if the original grass cover has not been
successfully established.
Maintenance (as needed)
• inspect swale berms weekly and after every rainfall, repair as needed.
• Till or cultivate the surface of the sand/soil bed of swales if the swale does not draw down
within 48 hours.
• Remove sediment build-up within the bottom of the Swale once it has accumulated to 25% of
the original design volume.
• Mow grass to maintain a height of three to four inches

Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipes (3) to prevent scour and
undermining in existing ditch, and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to
non -erosive levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
Riprap Apron Size: Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. Length of apron will be 20-
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel, the curve will be located in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 13 times the maximum stone diameter.

Filter: Operator plans to install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend to the top of
both channel banks, and edges will overlap 12 inches. Upstream end will be buried 12 inches and
downstream end will be buried if necessary.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or be#ow the riprap has taken place, or if stones have become dislodged, Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out -of -hank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Sediment Fence (Silt Fence) Construction Details:
Practice Standards and Specifications 6.62
Marty Hurdle Sane! Mine
Hertford, NC
Perquimans County
f. rr
r `..' :-ars ter[•, :.
t. x
A temporary permeable barrier erected on small disturbed areas to capture sediment from sheet flow.
It is made of filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched and supported by steel posts.
Planning: Silt fence will be installed along the perimeter of a 12ft wide access road when crossing
wetland areas. Narrow width of fenced area will allow only shallow pools to form behind fence while
promoting deposition of sediment and preventing sedimentation into adjacent wetlands. Ends of fence
will be curled uphill in "Jrr pattern to prevent end flow. Stabilized outlets will be provided to protect the
fence system and release storm flow that exceeds the design.
Design considerations: Silt fence will be constructed of extra -strength synthetic filter fabric. Height of
fence will not exceed 2 feet above natural ground level, and will be constructed from a continuous roll
to minimize joints. All joints will be fastened at a support post with 4 feet minimum of overlap. Extra -
strength filter fabric will be fastened to road side of steel posts (installed 2 feet deep) every 6 feet (every
8 feet if using standard strength filter fabric with wire mesh backing) and fastened with wire ties.
Trench will be excavated along inside of fence approximately 4 inches wide by 8 inches deep, into which
12 inches of fabric will be placed along the bottom and side of the trench. Trench will be backfilled and
compacted.
Maintenance: Inspect sediment fence every week and after each rainfall. Make any required repairs
immediately. Replace any collapsed, damaged, or decomposed fence promptly. Remove all fencing
materials and unstable sediment deposits and bring the area to grade and stabilize it after the
contributing drainage area has been properly stabilized.

This permit application is for a modification of existing permit #72fl==i7-acre sand—
nine excavation constructed by .dart}' R. Hurdle, on his property° at 355 Swing Gate Road,
Hertford, NC 27944, in Perquinians Count��. The perinit area is located on a high, sand' 25 -
acre parcel and, upon establishment of proposed erosion & sediment control measores, will
not present any ptoblerns regarding runoff to adjacent areas. The purpose of the cxcavation
is to serve as a source of sand for resale, to provide a source of water for Nfr. Hurdle's
commercial crayfish operation, and to establish a pond for recreational use.
The current 4.77 acre excavation is divided into 2 parts.. the northern pond (fond A, 1.55
acres) has been excavated and side slopes have been reclaimed with ground cover on 3 sides.
F%ca\,ation of the southern pond (fond li, 3.22 acres) has started and is approximately 50°10
complete.. The. 2 ponds are separated by a 30ft .hide causeway, and when both ponds arc
finished the causeway wM be removed, making one large 4.77 acre pond.
Pond A was originally permitted to he dewatered during construction. Upon completion,
dewaterAng has ceased from Pond A, srnd Pond A serves now as a scditilent pond for
de iarerinl; fond B. During de�varerit)g, Pond A overflows through a per.mirted point source
discharge at its northern encl. This discharge point releases clear water to an a7c lacent wetland
forest draining to Mill Creek and Perquirnans River.
Dewatering of Pond 13 allows for full depth excavation and proper reclamation of the
edges of fond B. It is the intention of Mr. Hurdle to only dewater the excavations as needed,
and does not entail full-time dewatcring.
Pond A is currently being used as a source of water for 2 crawfish ponds located east of
the excavation. These ponds were originally permitted to be used as sediment ponds for the
dcwatering of Pond A. That is no longer the case, and this modification is requesting release
of that portion of the original permit area to be removed.
After excavation of fond 13 is complete, the operator will excavate and remove the
causew,IN. separating fond A and Pond I3. When finished, this will lac a single pond with an
average 20ft depth and maxiniu.m 25ft depth, ;end a niaximurn acrea}�e of 4.77 acres
This permit modification itivolves the addition of excavation area located on the south
side (if Ponds A & I3. Nlr. Hurdle originally pLwncd an expansion of 0.63 acres of excavation
in January 2013 and acquired a permit modification for such. This plan has now changed to
an expansion 4xcayation totaling t�07 acres, bringing the total acreage of Alartr Hurdle
Me San' into 6.84 A mine map showing the cxttiting, peri)71tCCC arC a, an C11C prC:)pc)sed
expansion, is c o ec with this application.
There is wetland forest surrounding a blue -line creek on the east, west and north side of
the current excavation, located 75 — 120 feet from the excavation edge. The operator has
estabhsbcd a 50ft undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any Lind) adjacent to the east, west

30, 2013
and north perimeter of the permit. area. This buffer is being; tnaittt.uncd by the operator as
pasture with grass and pine tree ground covcr.
In addition there is a 25ft unexcavat.ed buffer (mat' contain roadways, stockpiles, and
sediment: & erosion control devices) around the entire excavation area, between the excavation
and the undisturbed buffer. Inside of this unexcavated buffer, dic operator will build and
establish a 250ft x 15ft x 3ft deep closed -end swale on the west side of the excavation, betas>cen
it and the wetland. "Phis swalc provides maintenance of groundwater levels in areas adjacent
to the existing; -wetlands,
The operator has also established a continuous silt fence along the outside edge of the
unezcavated buEfea' on the east and Nvest sides of the ecavatinti, witch arc the lowest portions
of the area. This will prevent any erosion from leaving the excavation nrci and damaging;
wetlands on the outside of the undisturbed area during p::occssing,. AU erosion and
secdimctitation will remain inside of the pernsit area.
The excavation area is located geographically 500 feet: front the nearest duelling (operator's
residence) and 450 feet from the nearest public highway in a lightly populated area, and is
accessible only by a privare, gated access road. Distance from highways and dwellings along;
with wooded areas and fields on all sides of the excavation area provide adcquate scrcett.iflg;
of the mining; operation, and the site is barer' visible from the closest Iiigh-Tay.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from NCDd NR Land Quality and \lIatct Quahty-,
Mr. Hurdle plans to excavate the mine to .in average depth of 20 feet below natural ground
level, and will include: construction of proper cut slopes on all sides of the excaN,ntcd area, .is
required in the permit. Reclamation of the mine area will include grading, leveling;, and
grassing; of all affected areas. AIr. Hurdle plans to seed all sloped areas with g l-OUnd cover to
provide good erosion control.
All adjacent landowners have been contacted and have been made aware of this mining;
operation and moc€ification of the permit. The Perquinians County 1\,Tanagcr has been
contacted regarding this modification application and land entry agreements have been
obtained. J'he mine area has been well marked with warning, and keep out signs to prevent
inadvertent public access.
lr. Hurdle does hereby request approval for this perniit modification, and asks that it be
expedited as soon as possible. Nir. Hurdle appreciates your consideration of this permit
application and looks forward working with NC:IDENR in conning, years.
Sincerely,

5. Operator will dig excavation in 4 phases (see attached phase diagrams):
i. 2011 Permit: Operator will excavate Pond A (1.55 acres) to full depth by dewatering
into existing Pond C, then reclaiming side slopes in Pond A. Sediment Pond C will
overflow from a point source discharge overflow pipe on north end of pond into
adjacent wetland forest. Pond A will then serve as sediment pond for further adjacent
excavation & dewatering in Pond B. Jan. 2013 Mod: Excavation & slope
reclamation complete in Pond A, no further dewatering into existing Pond C
(crawfish pond), majority of Pond A released from reclamation bond. Jan. 2013
Mod: No change.
ii. 2011 Permit: Operator will next excavate Pond B (2.020 acres) to full depth by
dewatering into Pond A. Pond A will overflow from point source discharge point on
north end of pond. Depending on need, Pond A will instead be dewatered into Pond
C, and overflow on the north end of that pond, or into Pond D and overflow there.
Jan. 2013 Mod: Operator will not dewater Pond A into Ponds C or D (crawfish);
operator will only dewater into pond A & overflow from point source discharge on
north end of Pond A as previously permitted. Jun. 2013 Mod: No change.
iii. 2011 Permit: After excavation of Pond B, operator will then excavate & remove
causeway between Pond A & Pond B, leaving one larger pond (3.560 acres) with
peninsula on northeast side. Jan. 2013 Mod: Operator elected to remove peninsula
& leave one large pond (4.77 acres). Jun. 2013 Mod: No change.
iv. 2011 Permit: At his discretion, operator will excavate & remove all or part of
remaining peninsula on northeast side of pond to increase total excavation area.
Operator will decide how much to remove depending on needs & wishes at that time.

feet southeast of main excavation. Jun. 2013 Mod: Pond E located 35 feet
southeast of Pond B now designated as Pond C. Pond C enlarged from 0.63 acres to
maximum 2.07 acres in this modification.
6. 2011 Permit: The primary purpose of this excavation will be to provide a source of fresh
water for the operator's crayfish pond (Pond D). It is estimated that due to the porosity of the
soil in the area, Sediment Pond C and Crayfish Pond D will hold and disperse naturally most
of the water removed from Ponds A & B during their excavation & dewatering, without
overflow from Ponds C & D. All 3 proposed point source discharges will be permitted by
DWQ before dewatering, and will be monitored during the permit term. Jan. 2013 Mod:

forest, leading to Mill Creek & Perquimans River. Pond C will also serve as a water source
for existing Crayfish Pond D, currently permitted by NC Dept. of Agriculture. Depending on
need, part of water from Pond C will instead be directed to and flow into Pond D by a culvert
connecting the two ponds, and will overflow if necessary from a point source discharge
overflow pipe on north end of that pond, into adjacent wetland forest. Jan. 2013 Mod: Old
Pond C will be used for crawfish production only, not as sediment pond for mine dewatering
from Pond A. Pond A will serve as water source for crawfish pond. Jun. 2013 Mod: No

A temporary permeable barrier erected on small disturbed areas to capture sediment from sheet flow.
It is made of filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched and supported by steel posts.
Planning: Silt fence will be installed along the perimeter of a 12ft wide access road when crossing
wetland areas. Narrow width of fenced area will allow only shallow pools to form behind fence while
promoting deposition of sediment and preventing sedimentation into adjacent wetlands. Ends of fence
will be curled uphill in "J" pattern to prevent end flow. Stabilized outlets will be provided to protect the
fence system and release storm flow that exceeds the design.
Design considerations: Silt fence will be constructed of extra -strength synthetic filter fabric. Height of
fence will not exceed 2 feet above natural ground level, and will be constructed from a continuous roll
to minimize joints. All joints will be fastened at a support post with 4 feet minimum of overlap. Extra -
strength filter fabric will be fastened to road side of steel posts (installed 2 feet deep) every 6 feet (every
8 feet if using standard strength filter fabric with wire mesh backing) and fastened with wire ties.
Trench will be excavated along inside of fence approximately 4 inches wide by 8 inches deep, into which
12 inches of fabric will be placed along the bottom and side of the trench. Trench will be backfilled and
compacted.
Maintenance: Inspect sediment fence every week and after each rainfall. Make any required repairs
immediately. Replace any collapsed, damaged, or decomposed fence promptly. Remove all fencing
materials and unstable sediment deposits and bring the area to grade and stabilize it after the
contributing drainage area has been properly stabilized.

or tabriC
Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipes (3) to prevent scour and
undermining in existing ditch, and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to
non -erosive levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
Riprap Apron Size: Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. Length of apron will be 20-
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel, the curve will be located in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A (2" to 6") stone or slag.
Thickness: Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Filter: Operator plans to install a layer of heavy duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. filter cloth will extend to the top of
both channel banks, and edges will overlap 12 inches. Upstream end will be buried 12 inches and
downstream end will be buried if necessary.
Maintenance: inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place, or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out -of -bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Temporary Hydrating Swale Construction Details
Marty Hurdle Sand Mine
Hertford, NC
Perquimans County
Photo 1:New excavated swale
Photo 2: Swale after rain
Similar to a contour bank, this rehydration swale is being constructed to ensure hydration of nearby
wetlands adjacent to the permit boundary of the Marty Hurdle Sand Mine. The swale will consist of 3
100-foot long by 10-foot wide closed -end swales that will parallel the land contour and which will
overlap or butt up to each other. The swales will be located along the western and eastern unexcavated
boundaries between the excavation area and the wetland. Unlike a contour bank, there will be no
water flow but water will collect in the swale from rainfall and by intentional filling from the excavation
during periods of dewatering. The water in the swales will be absorbed by the Swale and taken
underground to recharge the adjacent wetland.
Construction: A flat-bottomed V-shaped level closed -end trench 6-foot wide by 1-2 feet deep will be
dug parallel to the contour of the land in 100-foot lengths. The series of 3 100-foot closed end swales
will overlap or butt to each other. Trench will have minimum 2-ft wide flat bottom and 2:1 or flatter
sloped sides. The excavated soil will be placed uncompacted along the bottom side of the trench in a
round mound shaped berm minimum 1-ft high and 4-ft wide, which will allow surface run off from
above the swale to flow into the swale and be collected there, and then be absorbed into the ground.
The swale berm will be seeded with ground cover to prevent erosion. The side slopes and swale
depression will be seeded to encourage ground cover growth. There will be a 2-ft tall silt fence erosion
barrier constructed behind and below the swale berm to collect any sedimentation from the swale.

A 6-foot wide rock baffle consisting of rip -rap and smaller gravel will be constructed in each swale berm
at its lowest contour point to allow passive discharge of overflow water during periods of heavy rain,
through a level sill spillway approximately 9-feet long. This will spill a level sheet of water 3-5 mm deep
to run across the surrounding grass, through the silt fence, and into the wetland. This sheet flow water
will prevent concentrated flow and erosion of the landscape.
coarse annranara
Annual Maintenance:
• Inspect rock baffle for clogging and correct the problem.
• Inspect and correct erosion problems in the sand/soil bed of swales.
• Inspect grass along side -slopes for erosion and formation of rills or gullies and correct.
• Based on inspection, plant an alternative grass species if the original grass cover has not been
successfully established.
Maintenance (as needed)
• Inspect swale berms weekly and after every rainfall, repair as needed.
• Till or cultivate the surface of the sand/soil bed of swales if the swale does not draw down
within 48 hours.
Remove sediment build-up within the bottom of the swale once it has accumulated to 25% of
the original design volume.
• Mow grass to maintain a height of three to four inches
