To Whom It May Concern,
On behalf of Mr. Farnell Shingleton,we are submitting a modified mining permit application on
the subject permit boundary totaling 411.oi acres. The affected acreage or bonded acreage will be
increased to 6.2o acres. The pit will be an expansion north of the existing Pit C as labeled on the
mine maps. The previous maps for the rest of the property should still be referenced in the permit
files.
Please review the application and mine maps and let us know if you have any questions or need

YES ElNO
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 6.00
If yes,what impact,if any,will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?Locate all existing wells on the mine
map(s)that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area.Provide data to support any conclusions or statement
made,including any monitoring well data,well construction'data,and current water withdrawal rates.Indicate whether

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.
NPDES Permit issued previously, but couldn't find the permit number. The local
office should have reference to it - Wilmington DEQ.
4. A)Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
OYES N NO
If yes,indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the Division of Air Quality
or local governing body.
B)How will dust from stockpiles,haul roads,etc.,be controlled?
Due to the excavation of moist sandy soils,it is not expected to have any dust issues caused by the
stockpiles.Additionally,because the mine is over 500 feet from any adjacent property,the operator does
not expect to encounter problems with dust from the internal haul road. A water truck will be used if
necessary to control dust on the public access road(Sapps Rd)entering the property. The road is scraped
and regraded occasionally as a lot of properties access the road. The property owners along Saps have
complianed before about the dust, but it is already a gravel road,and Mr.Shington seems to take care of
scraping and cleaning it.
