Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Request for:
American Materials Company, LLC
Brown Sand Mine
Pitt County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit request for the above referenced project.
The Brown Sand Mine located in Pitt County may have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since 1,000,000 gallons of groundwater per day of dewatering is proposed onsite.
This mine will need to obtain a Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) water
withdrawal permit if the mine is withdrawing over 100,000 gallons per day (gpd) of water. If the
mine is withdrawing 10,000 gpd to 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to re_ ig ster their water
withdrawals with the CCPCUA program.
I have mailed this letter along with the CCPCUA permit application form and water use
registration form for the permit applicant to complete. The permit applicant needs to submit the
application form or registration form (whichever is applicable) as soon as possible.
15A NCAC 02E .0500: A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA)water
withdrawal permit must be obtained from the Division of Water Resources if the withdrawal
exceeds 100,000 gallons per day and occurs in Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Duplin, Edgecombe,
Greene, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Onslow, Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.
If you have further questions, please contact the Division of Water Resources at(919) 707-9004
