Mining Permit No. 23-03
Cleveland County
Broad River Basin
Dear Mr. Chapman:
i
Thank you for your letter dated July 25, 2001 regarding the recent blasting test
conducted at the above referenced mining facility.
As we discussed on the telephone, Oglebay Norton (ON) has approval from the
Department to conduct test blasting at its mine site, provided that specific conditions in
its mining permit are followed. On July 23, 2001, ON conducted such a blasting test.
Attached are copies of all of the documents provided by ON and as required by Mining
Permit No. 23-03. 1 have analyzed these records and the results of my investigation
are also attached. It has been concluded that ON has complied with its mining permit
conditions and has conducted its blasting test well below the levels that would result in
blasting damage to nearby structures.
ON.has indicated an interest in pursuing routine production blasting in the
future, once it has completed its analysis of the recent blasting test. - However, prior to
initiation of any production blasting at this site, ON must submit a detailed blasting
plan/program to this office for review and approval.

Please note that neither ON nor the Department is required by the mining
statutes to notify neighboring property owners of this upcoming proposal to change the
mining permit (as it will be within the previously approved, existing mining permit
boundary). However, both ON and this office agree to make every effort to contact you
and other businesses in the area if this activity is pursued. ON has agreed to contact
you in advance of submitting its proposal to this office, in order to address your
concerns and incorporate your recommendations, if feasible. This office will contact
you and other businesses once such a blasting proposal is received in our office for
review.
Again, thank you for your interest in this matter. If you have any further
questions, please contact me at [phone]_
Sincerely,

Peak Particle Velocity Check:
D = Distance to closest offsite occupied structure (ft): D*= 633.00
W= Maximum pounds of explosives per delay(pounds): W*= 103•.00
SD = Scaled Distance: SD= DIW^0.5 SD = 62,37
V= Peak Particle Velocity (inches per second): , V= 160 (SD)^-1.6 �—= 0_21
(*max. limit in mining permit is: V= 1.0 ips)
Based on known distances from the blast to the seismograph and any additional location,
the expected vibration level can be estimated at the second location as follows:
V= Particle velocity measured by the seismograph (ips): V*= 0.11
DS 'Distance from blast to seismograph (ft): DS* = 633.00
d = Distance from blast to second location (ft): d*= 844.00

Explosives Column Check:
(this is a very approximate method based upon numerous assumptions;
specific densities may vary greatly depending upon the type and manufacturer
of the explosive products used in the shot; must consider each explosive used;
refer to Dupont Handbook for actual SPD, otherwise use the following:)
Assumptions (per Ireco):
If"straight" emulsion is used, use SPD (specific density) = 1.20
If a "blend/slurry" is used, use SPD (specific density) = 1.25
If"straight" al is used, use SPD (specific density) = 0.85
Ratio between explosives:
Total pounds of Explos.#1'= 2139,00
Total pounds of Explos. #2'= NIA
Ratio between explosives = NIA
i
Average pounds of explosives used per hole (pounds)' = 51.50
Breakdown of average pounds of explosives per hole due to ratio:
Explosive#1 = 2139.00
Explosive#2 = NIA
SPD = Specific densities for each explosive:
SPD for Explos. #1`= 0.85
SPD for Explos. #2'= NIA
HD = Hole Diameter Used in Shot(inches). HD'= 4.00
LD = Loading Density(pounds per foot of column): LD = SPD(.34)(HD)A2
LD for Explos. #1 = 4.62
LD for Explos. #2 = N/A
Explosive column height for each explosive (feet):
Explos. #1 = 11,14
Explos. #2 = NIA
Total explos. column height= 11.14 ,
Stemming height used in shot(feet)' = 8.50 ,
Total height of explosive column(s) and stemming in the hole = 19.64, `�
Total depth of hole denoted on the blasting report for the shot in question' = 22.00

Mr. Davis:
Attached you will find the seismic reports for today test shot at the Hawks Mine {23
July 2001, 11:43 am). The readings from the closest dwelling not owned or leased by
Oglebay Norton were below both the 1.0 inch per second peak particle velocity and the
129 decibel limits expressed within the permit.
As we gather our information from the past shot and proceed with the request to modify
our existing permit I will be in contact with your office. If any questions should arise
before then please do not hesitate to call me.

Dear Tracy: ........._ __
This letter on behalf of KMG Minerals, Inc. is to respond to your May 1, 1992 letter
requesting additional information. A copy of this letter is attached for your reference.
Our response to your specific questions/statements in your letter are as follows:
l. Please review our drawing and supporting calculations attached for the sediment and
erosion control plan. The design is for a 25-year storm event with minimum 1800
cubic feet of storage per disturbed acre. We have proposed a rock dam sediment
basin instead of the previously proposed brick batt dam.
2. Please refer to our drawings for the detailed reclamation plan as requested. An
updated re-vegetation plan is included as well.
3. The berm for visual screens will be 5'0" in height in areas shown. We propose to
utilize the existing wooded buffer areas as a natural visual buffer as shown in our
drawings.
4. We have shown 4-strand barbed wired fencing to prevent inadvertent entry onto the
mine site.
5. Please refer to the drawings which indicate areas for waste piles along with the
erosion control measures and the detailed reclamation plan.
6. The drawings indicate the location of all buildings within 300 feet of the proposed
excavation and all wells within 500 feet of the permit boundaries.
7. The amended re-vegetation plan addresses the comments by the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission to add seeding and planting rates and planting dates.

We trust this will enable you to complete your review of the modification request for this
project. Please do not hesitate to contact me any time if you have any questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,

Re : Hawks Mine Modification Request
Mining Permit No . 23-10
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Ferro :
The initial review has been completed on 'your modification
request for a mining permit for the Hawks Mine in Cleveland County.
The following additional information is needed to complete our
review:
1) The sediment and erosion control plan is inadequate . All
measures to remain in place for one year or more must be
designed for the 25 year storm event as a minimum.
Measures to remain in place for less than one year can be
designed for the 10 year storm. Sediment basins and pits
must have a minimum of 1800 cubic feet of storage per
disturbed acre as well as meeting the above listed
criteria . The proposed brick Batt dam for the sediment
basin will blow out during storm events and must be
replaced with rip rap. Design calculations must
accompany the plan as well as typical construction
details . To verify the adequacy of the proposed sediment
and erosion control plan, topographic information must be
provided. Furthermore, the outline of the expected
clearing limits for this permit must be offered.
Finally, all sediment control measures must be oriented
such that any sediment-laden runoff is directed into the
measures before leaving the site . The basin proposed on
the most recently submitted mine map should be moved
south west of its proposed location to catch runoff from
the construction of the berm. Are additional measures
needed for the construction of the berm?
2 ) A detailed Reclamation Plan is needed, outlining the
proposed reclamation of, this site . All roads to be left
as part of reclamation must be indicated on the plan.

office . Attached is an application form for your use .
3 ) What are the heights of the berms to be constructed as
visual screening?
4 ) A more substantial fence is required to prevent
inadvertent entry onto the mine site .
5) Are any waste - piles expected within the boundaries of
this permit? If so, please locate them and provide
sediment and erosion control measures and a detailed
Reclamation Plan for them.
6 ) As indicated in the application form, all buildings
within 300 feet of the proposed excavation and all wells
within 50,0 feet of the permit boundaries must be
indicatdd"-on the mine map. The discharge point for they
mine dewatering must also be indicate on the mine map and
provided with outlet protection.
7 ) During the course of our review, comments were solicited
from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
Attached is a copy of their comments . Please ammend the
Revegetation Plan according to their comments , adding
seeding or planting rates and seeding or planting dates .
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT OUR REVIEW CANNOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL
ALL OF . THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE HAVE BEEN, FULLY ADDRESSED.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Beth Chesson, Assistant Mining Specialist
Land Quality Section
FROM: Dennis Stewart, Manager
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 6, 1992
SUBJECT: Mining permit modification request and proposed
sediment and erosion, control plan submitted by KMG
Minerals for Hawks Mine, Cleveland County, Mining
Permit No. 23-10
Staff field biologists of the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the mining permit
request and sediment and erosion control plan submitted by KMG
Minerals, Inc. , for the Hawks Mine in Cleveland County near
Interstate 85 and U.S. Highway . 29 . A site visit was conducted
with Mr. William Stewart on March 18, 1992 . These comments are
provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Mining Act
of 1971 (as amended, 1982 ; G. S. 74-46 through 74-68; 15 NCAC 5)
and the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq. )
The applicant is requesting a 10-year permit to mine mica
and its byproducts on a 29-acre tract by method of dozer and
backhoe. A maximum of 9 acres will be disturbed and unreclaimed
at any one time. Sediment and ,erosion control measures include
silt basins, berms, and revegetation.
Currently, the proposed site is used as open agricultural
lands. Major vegetation includes fescue, sericea, honeysuckle,
broomsedge, sumac, briar, and numerous native weeds and grasses.
Mixed shrubs and trees including shortleaf pine, poplar and
cherry are common along field borders. This site provides upland
wildlife habitat for numerous small game birds and mammals.
Major wildlife which can inhabit the areas include raccoon,
rabbit, quail, dove, fox and numerous nongame birds, raptors and
mammals. There are no fishery resources at the proposed area.
We are aware of no threatened or endangered species at the site.

-Memo 0 Page 2 OApril 8, 1992
The NCWRC does not object to approving the subject
applications, provided the following recommendations are
implemented by the applicant:
1) Stringent erosion control measures should be
implemented where soil is disturbed and maintained
throughout the life of the project, especially on steep
slopes. The applicant' s sediment and erosion control
plan appears to be adequate.
2) Final revegetation plans should include plantings of
VA-70 shrub lespedeza (20 lbs/acre) , Korean lespedeza
(15-20 lbs/acre) , and partridge pea (10-15 lbs/acre) on
twenty-five percent of noncritical slope areas to
provide food and additional habitat for wildlife.
3) Twenty-five percent of reforested sites should include
clumps of hardwoods '(i.e. , red oak, white oak, willow
oak, sawtooth oak, black gum and dogwood) 3-5 acres, or
greater, in size.
4) The final reclamation plans for the proposed 29-acre
pond area at the Hawks site should include allowing
half of the pond edge to revegetate naturally after
soil stabilizati Also, it is recommended that 3 to
5 wood duck nest structures be erected as shown in the
directions provided, ' in shallow water areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. If we can be of further assistance, please advise.

ARTIFICIAL HOUSING FOR WOOD 0S
(Revised , August 1972) `
The erection of artificial housing for wood ducks is becoming Increasingly important
as suitable natural wood duck nesting cavities are becoming extremely scarce. For this
reason the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has established a program which
will provide $2.50 for each suitable artificial house that is constructed and erected
properly by either individuals or groups throughout the state. It is hoped that these
etforts will help to perpetuate one of North Carolina' s most important waterfowl species.
CONSTRUCTION AND ERECTION OF NEXT BOXES
Plans for an approvable wood duck house are shown in full detail on the reverse of
this page. Persons desiring the $2.50 payment should follow these specifications care-
fully. Pay special attention to the entrance hole measurements, for this is so designed
to keep out larger predators. For best results, rough cypress lumber should be used.
However, I Inch exterior or marine plywood, or any other suitable lumber that has been
treated with a preservative such as copper napthanate or pentachlorophenol may be used.
If materials with a smooth inner surface are used, a three-to-four inch wide strip of
fine hardware cloth must be attached to the inside front wall from the floor to the exit
hole.
Boxes should be erected in late winter to insure maximum use. All houses should he
securely fastened to some stable structure such as a post or tree In or near the water.
They may be erected with no tilt or a slight forward tilt. Never tilt a box backward
as this prevents the ducklings from being able to climb the front wall and make their
exodus . All cracks or holes , with the exception of the exit hole and several basal
drainage holes, should be sealed or covered. Situate boxes in relatively open areas
so that they may be readily found by the ducks. Do not shield the entrances with
branches as wood ducks fly directly into the box and do not need to perch before enter-
ing.
Many wood duck boxes have become "death traps" because they were poorly constructed
and not made predator-proof. Be careful to select locations that do not nffQr over-
hanging branches or other pathways for depredating raccoons , snakes , or other hungry
animals. if possible use the predator shield that is explained in the reverse diagram.
Boxes shuuld be placed a minimum of 3 feet above the water or 10 feet above land.
The construction and erection of artificial wood cluck houses can be an interesting
and rewarding pastime. Eventually additional boxes may be useful since nesting wood
duck colunies tend to increase around such sites.
Yearly maintenance will be needed to prior to each nesting season . At this time
be sure M remove all useless debris, replace or add wood shavings, check the box
stability, and replace all broken or rotten hardware and boards.
It should be clearly understood that the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission cannot be held responsible for any accident or injury sustained by a
person or persons participating in this program.
Wood duck boxes constructed under this program are subject to inspection by
Commission personnel.

Re: Processing Fee for the Hawks Mine Modification and
the Moss-Neisler Modification .
Cleveland County -
Dear Mr. Bierman:
As we discussed by phone this morning, a $250 . 00 mayor
modification fee is required to process and review the Hawks Mine
(Mining Permit No. 23-10 ) modification request . We also
discussed modifying the Moss-Neisler mine (Mining Permit No .
23-03 ) to include the acreagefor which you are requesting a new
permit, the Archdale Tract. Since the Archdale Tract is only
separated from the Moss-Neisler permitted area by Highway 29 , the
Moss-Neisler mining permit can be modified to include this
acreage. The application forms are the same for either action,
but the Affidavit of Notification is not required to be completed
for a modification. The fee :required for a major modification of
this size is $500 . 00 . Therefore, I an returning the $1000 . 00
check (no. 8019 ) to your attention . Please submit a check for
$250 . 00 for the Hawks Mine modification and $500 .00 for the Moss-
Neisler Mine modification, if this alternative is chosen. Also,
if you choose to modify the Moss-Neisler mining permit to include
the Archdale Tract, please request so in writing.
I also noted that design calculations and construction details
were not submitted with the modification requests . Please submit
this information so: we can complete our review.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (919 )733-4574 .

March 8, 1996 Erosion Control Plan Prepared By:
Ledford Engineering Inc.
Supporting Calculations for the,Design of Erosion Control Measures for
KMG Minerals - Hawks Tract
Sediment Pool Area Disturbed area = 21.0 Ac. Drainage Area = 21.0 Ac.
c=.50, 1=7inlhr Q25= .50 x 7 inlhr x 21.0 ac
= 73.5 cfs
Sediment Vol. = 1800 cflac.x 21.0 ac = 37,800 cf
37,800 cf- 3 ft. = 12,600 sf
To maintain efficient trap collection we recommend the following:
Basin size = 85' x 170' x 3' deep
Rock Dam
Q25 = .50x7inlhrx21.0 ac. = 73.5cfs
According to Table 8.07c of the N.C. Erosion & Sediment Control Planning & Design Manual the
associated Bottom Width at this discharge flow is 32 ft. The associated stage height is 1.06 ft.
The height of the Dam at the center shall be 8 ft. and the embankment width shall be 10 ft. wide.
The side slopes on the embankment shall be 2:1 upstream and 3:1 downstream
The top of the Dam shall act as the spillway.
