Re: Mitchell Pit—Permit Application
Martin County, INC
Dear Mr. Parr,
I am respectfully submitting an application for a mining permit in Martin County. The mining
permit is located on approximately 51 acres off Grand Canyon Road, ±5.0 miles south of Williamston,
NC. Barnhill Contracting Company is requesting to permit 17.92 acres located at the front of the
property.There will be a minimum 50' unexcavated buffer between all property lines and the
excavation limits.All onsite Jurisdictional 404 wetlands and/or Waters of the US wetlands are shown on
the mine map,with the GPS locations,which were located and delineated by Davey Resource Group
during the Environmental Assessment that was performed. The Environmental Assessment Report is
enclosed which shows the locations of the Jurisdictional 404 wetlands and/or Waters of the US as well
as other maps and environmental information. Barnhill Contracting Company will not have any mine
activity within 50'from these features.
Mining will begin on the Eastern portion of the mine map.This area will be stripped and the
basin will be installed. Once this area has been mined we will continue to work our way towards the
front of the mine area shown on the map. As mining progresses, we will install another basin, if needed
to control any runoff from the stripping operations. Once stripping is complete,we will construct
temporary diversion ditches, as needed or required,to direct water towards the basin. As mining
continues we will grade the property to drain towards the pit to divert any runoff from leaving the site.
We will only strip areas as that are needed for the mining operation to limit the amount of land
disturbance and erosion.
Barnhill Contracting Company will submit a CCPCUA permit for this operation, as well as,an
application for a NPDES permit. We intend to dewater into a"Borrow Pit Dewatering Basin"as shown
on the plans, and let the water spill through a rip rap spillway and take the natural drainage course to
the wetlands located to the east of the excavation area. Although we do intend to discharge water off-
site at the beginning of the mining operation,we plan keep this at a minimum once we excavate a large
enough area to pump into inside the proposed mine excavation area. Once we have excavated a large

enough area to pump into, Barnhill Contracting Company does not plan to discharge any water offsite.
Instead,the water will be pumped to a holding area inside the mine excavation limits and then just
recirculated as the mining operation progresses. It is not Barnhill Contracting Company's intent to
dewater on a continual basis, but only when the pit is in operation.
Barnhill Contracting Company plans to mine and dispose of uncontaminated soil that is
generated from offsite sources on site. It is Barnhill Contracting Company's intent, once the material
has been mined,to use uncontaminated offsite generated soil to fill in portions of the excavation. We
also plan to use uncontaminated offsite generated soil to build and reclaim the slopes around the mine.
All uncontaminated offsite soil will be generated from Barnhill Contracting Company projects and
disposed of by Barnhill Contracting Company. This uncontaminated offsite soil will be generated from
undercut operations and jobs that have excess soil. We are requesting the entire area of excavation as
the area to dispose of uncontaminated offsite generated soil. All areas backfilled by uncontaminated
offsite generated soil will not exceed the original topo elevations. Barnhill Contracting Company does
not intend to raise the elevations,of the mining area,from the original elevations before the mining
operation started.This is shown on the mine map dated.
Please find enclosed one(1)original and five(5)copies of the Mining Permit Application
and Mine Map,as well as,the notification letters to the Martin County Manager,all adjoining
landowners and landowners within 1000'feet of the excavation are. A check in the amount of
$3,750.00 for the application fee has also been enclosed.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours Very Truly,
Barnhill Contracting Company
