Singletary Pit LAND QUALITY SECTION
Bladen County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit request for the above referenced project.
The Singletary Pit located in Bladen County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the mine starts to withdraw
100,000 gallons per day of water, they will need to register their water withdrawals with the Division of
Water Resources and report on an annual basis. The registration form may be obtained from the following
link:
https://www,ncwater.org/wwatr
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General
Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statute requires any non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000
gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface water to register and update withdrawals. This
statute also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of surface water from one river
basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers. Water withdrawal registrants must
complete the annual water use reporting form by April 1 for the previous year.
If you have further questions regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr with the
Division of Water Resources at [phone] or email him [e-mail].
