RE: L&B Mine
Mining Permit No. 00-35
Yancey County
French Broad River Basin
Dear Ms. Butner:
We have received the $1,600.00 Surety Bond No. LIC1190976 issued by Lexon Insurance Company for the
referenced mining operation. However, this surety document was not complete. As the sole proprietor, you need
to sign the document on page 2 of 2. I am returning the surety documents so that they may be correctly completed.
The permit cannot be issued until the required security has been received. No mining may be conducted until the
permit is issued. N.C.G.S. §74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect
or prevent the enforcement of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county
or by any agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
Thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention to this matter. If you should have any questions on the above,
please contact me at(919) 707-9220.
Sincerely,
Adam R. Parr
Assistant State Mining Engineer
