Subject: RE: Northside Mine
Hello,
Sorry for taking so long to get you my comments.
I do not have real concerns about the operation as proposed but did just want to mention what I saw.
Because the location is adjacent to developing areas of the City and County (which likely would not have approved the
proposed mine, to access the site by the existing area paved roads, per Ken Elliott), the Owner and Operator decided to
use the existing field path as the haul road to access the operation.
While on site we explained the requirements to maintaining the path such that it does not impact the farming on both
sides of their haul road (To be a good neighbor in the operation of this mine). The discharge from dewatering the
proposed 35' deep, 12 AC operation will cross the path at 90 degrees, and is to be maintained within the 30' easement
(extra care is to be taken by the operation to prevent the farmers ditch banks on either side of the haul road, from
eroding or impacting their farming activities), and the discharge is to flow east within the easement, and then will cross
under the operators driveway/haul road, through an existing small diameter pipe, and the flow will continue
downstream through the existing small diameter concrete pipe crossing of Hwy 17 Business, located just north of
Elizabeth City.
The operation is required to not back up water causing impact to upstream properties, overflow the ditches on either
side of the 30' haul road easement, or impact properties downstream of the operation. Stabilization of the haul road, as
well as the operation of the mine is also not to negatively impact: waters of the state, access to adjacent properties, or
the quality of the adjacent properties.
Please let me know if you have questions or need my assistance.
Sincerely,
Thom

Comment: This inspection was to help the owner, and the operator to understand what the permit requires
prior to the operation beginning The main emphasis was along the existing field ditch which will
drain along the haul road which is the existing farm path The operation's dewaterinq discharge
will cross under the existing farm path and turn 90 degrees into the existing farm ditch The
existing field side ditch bank will require some rip rap placement to protect the bank from the
dewaterinq discharge and in order to be a good neighbor. The operation can not degrade or
impact farm access by operating.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Northside Sand Company, LLC, 320 Esclip Road, Elizabeth City, NC 27909
Job Location: Northside Sand Mine, Hawthorne Road, Elizabeth City, NC 27909
County: Pasquotank County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: April 12, 2017
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the Northside Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will not
degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the Northside Sand Mine
The Northside Sand Mine is a proposed 12.92-acre sand mine excavation operated by Northside Sand
Company, LLC, Tommy James, owner and operator, in a 17.3-acre permit area located off Hawthorne
Road, approximately 3.5 miles southeast of Elizabeth City, NC, in Providence Township. The permit area
is on high sandy land and is currently a wooded tree farm owned by Tommy James. At thistime Mr.
James is submitting an application with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources to
construct the sand mine and begin operation in June or July 2017. Mr. James is also applying for a
Special Use Permit from the Pasquotank County Planning Department for construction of this mine.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
It will be necessary to dewater the excavation as it is 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 the pond. It is the intention of
Mr. James to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150loads of sand 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.
The operator plans to initially utilize an existing 0.45-acre excavated pond as a sedimentation pond
located inside the southwest corner of the main excavation area. The 10-foot-deep pond currently has
3:1 slopes above normal groundwater height with full groundcover installed, and 2:1 slopes below
normal groundwater level, Once excavation area has been cleared of trees, the rest of the 12.92-acre
excavation work will begin approximately 2S feet from the sediment pond. The edge of the sediment
pond excavation and main excavation will be 1700 feet from the nearest wetland swamp. Use of the
sediment pond will forcibly hydrate the nearby wetlands located west of the sediment pond and
excavation, and will minimize dehydration of the swampy land.

The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the 2 ponds at the southwest end of the
main excavation. Discharge from the dewatering pump will enter the sediment pond on its northeast
end, and there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge point
located on the southwest end of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear water to a
25-foot-long riprap-protected constructed ditch, leading 25 feet to an existing field irrigation and
drainage ditch (non -blue -line stream), then 1.2 miles by ditch to the Pasquotank River wetlands and
swamp, then 0.5 mile to the Pasquotank River.
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by the Sin gasoline -powered transfer
pump operating at idle speed. Estimated maximum flow from the pump will be 2,000 gallons/hour,
operating 12 hours per day, 0.24 mgd. It is the intention of Mr. Williams to drop the water level in the
main pond approximately 20 - 25 feet below normal ground level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the southwestern bank of the sediment pond. This control structure will allow water to flow through the
baffle into a 25ft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading west 25 feet to a 6ft wide drainage ditch
running north through a field drainage ditch, then to the Pasquotank River. For erosion control, the
overflow water will exit the water height control discharge pipe onto a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in
the ditch.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the overflow water
reaches outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will have to travel a minimum of 200 feet to
reach the overflow point which will give enough surface area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur.
There will be a minimum 2 feet of freeboard between the water surface in the sediment pond and the
top of the sediment pond bank. Stormwater drainage will be unable to enter the sediment area and
damage the sediment pond rates, due to the height of the surrounding sediment pond berm.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland swamp west of the proposed excavation, located 1700 feet from the excavation edge,
running parallel to the western permit area boundary. The operator will establish a 25ft wide
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) as a visual screen of existing woodland which is part of
the Pasquotank County required property line setback. This buffer will be adjacent to, and inside of, the
permit boundary. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as 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.
Sediment pond overflow will drain into an operator -maintained 6ft wide feeder ditch that leads 1800
feet to a field irrigation and drainage ditch, then 1.3 miles to the Pasquotank River. Overflow into the
feeder ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the feeder ditch at the overflow (see diagram) to
prevent erosion of the ditch.

All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area. The operator will construct and
maintain an 8ft wide x 2ft tall grass -covered sand berm around the perimeter of the current affected
area of the excavation during all phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, most
of the water leaving the excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow through
the sediment pond occasionally. The sediment pond will be approximately 10 feet deep, and there is a
sand layer below the bottom of the area. The porosity of the soil under the sediment pond will allow
most of the water pumped into the pond from dewatering to seep back into the ground naturally. Any
excess water overflowing from the sediment pond will flow downstream 8 miles to the Newbegun Creek
and Pasquotank River.
Maintaining the Sediment Pond Overflow Control Structure, Settlement Pond and Ditches
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 anticipated 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 overflow control structure.
• 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.
• 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 Northside 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 for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches, 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.
• 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 rain gauge data monthly and after each rain
event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from the wastewater point source discharge in
operation at the time.
• Point source discharge data: data from the site taken quarterly, 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 and farmland for potential dehydration during mining or
dewatering activities will take place weekly. 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 PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, NC 27916: 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 the Mary L.
Sawyer Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State. BMP's
will include:
o Sediment pond outlet structure with flashboard riser located at edge of pond for ease of
maintenance.
o All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches,
and all structures will be repaired immediately.

o Sediment pond outlet ditch will have rock lining or riprap stone layer to prevent erosion,
scour or sloughing of embankment
• The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDEMLR and the Stormwater
Program chief prior to utilizing any chemical flocculants at Robert White Sand Mine.

To Whom It May Concern:
This NCG020000 Notice of Intent General Permit application is in relation to a request
by Bennie Thomas James, owner of Northside Sand Company, LLC, to excavate a 12.92-acre
pond, on property owned by Mr. James off SR 1402 Hawthorne Drive, Elizabeth City, NC, in
Pasquotank County. The proposed permit area is located in a flat, sandy tree farm area, and
will not present any problems regarding runoff to adjacent areas when all proposed erosion
and sediment control measures are in place. The purpose of the excavation will be to serve
as wildlife habitat and to increase scenic value for the landowner.
The excavation area will be located geographically 150 feet from the nearest public
highway and will be accessible only by a privately -owned access road. Excavation activities
will be screened from public view on all sides by existing full growth woodland, vegetated sand
berms, and distance across adjacent fields. Public access to the permit area is limited by private
property, and private road access. There will be minimum 25ft wide unexcavated buffers on
all sides of the permit area, as well as a 25ft wide visual screen of existing woodland around
the permit area.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from NCDEQ Northside Sand Company, LLC
plans to excavate the pond to an average depth of 25 feet below normal groundwater level,
and will include construction of proper cut slopes on all sides of the excavated area, as
required in the permit. Reclamation of the permit area will include grading, leveling, and
grassing of all affected areas. The permit is requested for a 10-year period.
All adjacent landowners have been contacted and made aware of the proposed excavation
operation, and land entry agreements have been obtained. The excavation area will be well
marked with warning and keep out signs to prevent inadvertent public access.
Northside Sand Company, LLC does hereby request approval for this NCG020000 Permit,
and asks that it be expedited as soon as possible. Northside Sand Company, LLC appreciates
your consideration of this mine permit application.
Sincerely,
Ken Elliott

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SAND MINE DEWATERING AND WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE
Operator: Northside Sand Company, LLC, 320 Esclip Road, Elizabeth City, NC 27909
Job Location: Northside Sand Mine, Hawthorne Road, Elizabeth City, NC 27909
County: Pasquotank County
Prepared by: Ken Elliott, consulting
Date: April 12, 2017
This plan defines responsibilities for operating, inspecting, and maintaining equipment and structures
used for constructing and dewatering the Northside Sand Mine safely, and that dewatering will not
degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the state.
Description and Operation of the Northside Sand Mine:
The Northside Sand Mine is a proposed 12.92-acre sand mine excavation operated by Northside Sand
Company, LLC, Tommy James, owner and operator, in a 17.3-acre permit area located off Hawthorne
Road, approximately 3.5 miles southeast of Elizabeth City, NC, in Providence Township. The permit area
is on high sandy land and is currently a wooded tree farm owned by Tommy James. At this time Mr.
James is submitting an application with the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources to
construct the sand mine and begin operation in June or July 2017. Mr. James is also applying for a
Special Use Permit from the Pasquotank County Planning Department for construction of this mine.
Sand Mine Dewatering:
It will be necessary to dewater the excavation as it is 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 the pond. It is the intention of
Mr. James to only dewater the excavations as needed, which will not entail full-time dewatering.
For excavation purposes, dewatering will occur roughly every 30 days which will allow excavating
equipment to remove approximately 150 loads of sand 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.
The operator plans to initially utilize an existing 0.45-acre excavated pond as a sedimentation pond
located inside the southwest corner of the main excavation area. The 30-foot-deep pond currently has
3:1 slopes above normal groundwater height with full groundcover installed, and 2:1 slopes below
normal groundwater level. Once excavation area has been cleared of trees, the rest of the 12.92-acre
excavation work will begin approximately 25 feet from the sediment pond. The edge of the sediment
pond excavation and main excavation will be 1700 feet from the nearest wetland swamp. Use of the
sediment pond will forcibly hydrate the nearby wetlands located west of the sediment pond and
excavation, and will minimize dehydration of the swampy land.

The operator will install an 8-inch dewatering pump between the 2 ponds at the southwest end of the
main excavation. Discharge from the dewatering pump will enter the sediment pond on its northeast
end, and there will be a constructed water height control device (see attached diagram) discharge point
located on the southwest end of the sediment pond. The discharge point will release clear water to a
25-foot-long riprap-protected constructed ditch, leading 25 feet to an existing field irrigation and
drainage ditch (non -blue -line stream), then 1.2 miles by ditch to the Pasquotank River wetlands and
swamp, then 0.5 mile to the Pasquotank River.
Water will be pumped from the main pond to the sediment pond by the 8in gasoline -powered transfer
pump operating at idle speed. Estimated maximum flow from the pump will be 2,000 gallons/hour,
operating 12 hours per day, 0.24 mgd. It is the intention of Mr. Williams to drop the water level in the
main pond approximately 20 - 25 feet below normal ground level when needed.
The overflow from the sediment pond will be controlled by a water height control device constructed in
the southwestern bank of the sediment pond. This control structure will allow water to flow through the
baffle into a 25ft long x 15" wide buried PVC pipe leading west 25 feet to a 6ft wide drainage ditch
running north through a field drainage ditch, then to the Pasquotank River. For erosion control, the
overflow water will exit the water height control discharge pipe onto a 20ft long riprap-lined apron in
the ditch.
Time and distance will allow all sedimentation to occur to acceptable levels before the overflow water
reaches outfall and then the waters of the State. Water will have to travel a minimum of 200 feet to
reach the overflow point which will give enough surface area to allow sufficient sedimentation to occur.
There will be a minimum 2 feet of freeboard between the water surface in the sediment pond and the
top of the sediment pond bank. Stormwater drainage will be unable to enter the sediment area and
damage the sediment pond rates, due to the height of the surrounding sediment pond berm.
Sedimentation and Erosion Control
There is wetland swamp west of the proposed excavation, located 1700 feet from the excavation edge,
running parallel to the western permit area boundary. The operator will establish a 25ft wide
undisturbed buffer (no disturbance of any kind) as a visual screen of existing woodland which is part of
the Pasquotank County required property line setback. This buffer will be adjacent to, and inside of, the
permit boundary. This buffer will be maintained by the operator as 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.
Sediment pond overflow will drain into an operator -maintained 6ft wide feeder ditch that leads 1800
feet to a field irrigation and drainage ditch, then 1.3 miles to the Pasquotank River. Overflow into the
feeder ditch will be stabilized by riprap installed in the feeder ditch at the overflow (see diagram) to
prevent erosion of the ditch.

All erosion and sedimentation will remain inside of the permit area. The operator will construct and
maintain an 8ft wide x 2ft tall grass -covered sand berm around the perimeter of the current affected
area of the excavation during all phases of operation. During mining operations and dewatering, most
of the water leaving the excavation will remain inside of the permit area and will only overflow through
the sediment pond occasionally. The sediment pond will be approximately 10 feet deep, and there is a
sand layer below the bottom of the area. The porosity of the soil under the sediment pond will allow
most of the water pumped into the pond from dewatering to seep back into the ground naturally. Any
excess water overflowing from the sediment pond will flow downstream 8 miles to the Newbegun Creek
and Pasquotank River.
Maintaining the Sediment Pond Overflow Control Structure, Settlement Pond and Ditches
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 anticipated 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 overflow control structure.
• 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.
• 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 Northside 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 for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches, 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.
• 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 rain gauge data monthly and after each rain
event.
Records
Data will be collected as follows:
• Data will be collected from samples taken from the wastewater point source discharge in
operation at the time.
• Point source discharge data: data from the site taken quarterly, 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 and farmland for potential dehydration during mining or
dewatering activities will take place weekly. 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 PO Box 112, 202 Elliott Road, Aydlett, NC 27916: 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 the Mary L.
Sawyer Mine will not degrade or negatively impact any wetlands or waters of the State. BMP's
will include:
o Sediment pond outlet structure with flashboard riser located at edge of pond for ease of
maintenance.
o All berms and erosion control and sedimentation control structures will be inspected for
damages monthly and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.5 inches,
and all structures will be repaired immediately.

o Sediment pond outlet ditch will have rock lining or riprap stone layer to prevent erosion,
scour or sloughing of embankment
• The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Director of the NCDEMLR and the Stormwater
Program chief prior to utilizing any chemical flocculants at Robert White Sand Mine.
