APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table?Yes ® No❑.
If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes ® No ❑.
If yes,what impact,if any,will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Estimated withdrawal
rate in gallons per day: see below . 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
statements made, including any monitoring well data, well construction data and current water
withdrawal rates. Indicate whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system
or private wells.
The mine will extend maximum 20 feet below natural grade.The water table was found to
be 8 feet below natural grade. Because the excavation area will be left as an irrigation pond
once the minding activity is complete, no water will be pumped off site. Instead, it will be
held within the mine area.The surrounding property owners are served by wells, however
there are no wells within 500 feet of the mine and therefore impact is not an issue.
d. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non-discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.)
from the Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required
to register water use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than
10,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if
the operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
The Applicant does not propose to discharge water outside of any mine pits or into any
adjacent to mining. No NPDES Permit will be necessary.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?Yes❑ 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.
7

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
5. a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or
