RE: A & H Mine
Mining Permit No. 47-16
Hoke County
Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Mr. Lindsay:
We have reviewed the application your company submitted for the referenced mine site.
In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with GS
74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the additional or revised information in
accordance with the following comments:
1. The area where the proposed two acre LCID has been reclaimed. Since
reclamation is no longer needed on this area, this office cannot approve non-
mining related activities on this site. Your company will have to request release
of this area from the mining permit and obtain an erosion and sediment control
plan to cover this area or move the LCID to an area that requires reclamation.
2. Provide an accurate longitude and latitude for the site in decimal degrees to a
minimum of four places.
3. Provide the originally signed pages 1 and 18. Correct the applicant name within
the application.
4. Revise the mine map to show topography. Provide pre and post mining cross
sections of the mined areas. Provide pre and post fill cross sections for the
proposed LCID.
