MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Adam Parr
Land Quality Section
FROM: Michael Bauer
Ground Water Management Branch
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Revised Comments on the Mining Permit Modification Request for:
T. Farnell Shingleton
Shingleton Farms Mine
Pender County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit modification request for the above referenced project.
The Shingleton Farms Mine located in Pender County may have an unduly adverse effect on ground water
supplies since 460,000 gallons per day of dewatering is proposed onsite. The mine will need to register
water withdrawals with the Division of Water Resources and report on an annual basis since the
water withdrawals are over 100,000 gallons per day. The registration form may be obtained from the
following link:
https://www.ncwater.org/wwatr
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General
Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statute requires any non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000
gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface water to register and update withdrawals. This
statute also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of surface water from one river
basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers. Water withdrawal registrants must
complete the annual water use reporting form by April 1 for the previous year.
If you have further questions regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr with the
Division of Water Resources at(919) 707-9021 or email him at [e-mail].
