SUBJECT: BALLANCE TRACT MINE - PERMIT APPLICATION
On behalf of Allied Properties, LLC., Bissell Professional Group is requesting review of an
Application for a Mining Permit for a new sand mine operation slated for development in Moyock
Township, Currituck County, North Carolina. The operation is referred to as the Ballance Tract
Mine based on historical ownership of the property and includes a total permit area of 99.9 acres.
The following documents are enclosed to support the Application: (6 copies of each)
• Mining Permit Application
• $5,000 Permit Processing Fee
• Adjoiner Notification Map
• USGS Quad Site Map
• NCDOT County Highway Site Map
• Mine Development Plans
• Dewatering Basin and Outlet Control Structure Calculations
In addition to this application, submissions are concurrently being made to the U.S.A.C.O.E.,
Chesapeake & Albemarle Railroad and Dominion Energy for approval of proposed haul road
crossings and NCDEQ-DEML-LQS for NCG020000 coverage for proposed dewatering activities.
Subsequent to obtaining this and the above referenced approvals, an application will then also be
made to Currituck County for approval of a county Use Permit.
We respectfully ask for your review of the above listed enclosures as they support the requested
mining permit application for the proposed Ballance Tract Mine. Should you have any questions or
need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. We thank you for your time

basin will provide a top water discharge to the existing ditch located in that area.The inlets and outlet of
the settling basin will also be stabilized with rip-rap. The settling basin,outlet control structure and rip-
rap will aid in the removal of pollutants and suspended solids before off-site discharge.

obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s)(i.e.,non-discharge,NPDES,Stormwater,etc.)from the
Stormwater Program. In addition, the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of
Water Resources, Ground Water Management Branch, if the operation withdraws more than 10,000
gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources, Ground Water
Management Branch, if the operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000
gallons per day.
An application for coverage under NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG020000 is being submitted
simultaneously with this application. A copy of the Certificate of Coverage will be provided upon
receipt.
