request a transfer of the permit to a new company/applicant but that would require a transfer
request and appropriate processing fee.
I am returning the subject assignment to you and providing you with a new form. In
addition, please attach a copy of the bank receipt that includes the name of the account

Judy:
The ARO has the following comments:
1. An updated mine map with permit boundary, buffers all affected areas (flume,
etc. ) would be nice. The haul road needs to be included from the excavation
area to SR 1377 .
2. The creek should be clearly labeled on the revised map. It's hard to
determine from the map submitted where is traverses through the site.
Otherwise, the site looked good at last inspection.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. DAQ and DWQ comments to be

Nnhitnt rnmc . Minn Program
DATE: September 15,2008
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Modification for Thomas E. Sterrett
Rose Creak Mine
Macon County
Mfning Permit No. 57-10
Staff with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission(Commission)reviewed the application for the subject
mining permit modification. Gravel is excavated biannually from a L2 acre area of the Rose Creek Mine
near Franklin. Comments from the Commission are provided under provisions of the Mining Act of 1971
(as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-46 through 74-68; 15 NCAC 5)and the North Carolina General Statutes
(G.S. 113-131 et. seq.).
The Commission does not anticipate undue adverse effects of this mine permit modification on fish and
wildlife resources provided all sediment and erosion controls are effective until the site is permanently
reclaimed. This is particularly important since the Little Tennessee River downstream supports sensitive
aquatic life like the federally endangered Appalachian elktoe mussel. Major changes to the operation that
would cause downstream sedimentation should be avoided.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If there are any questions
regarding these comments,please contact me at(828)452-2546 extension 24. o C CEIVED

Thomas E, Sterrett
Rose Creek Mine
Macon County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal/modification request for the above referenced project.
The Rose Creek Mine located in Macon County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to begin pumping water
from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Water Resources would like to be contacted so that
it may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground water supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water
withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue requires any
non-agricultural water user who withdraws 10 0,00 0 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface
water to register withdrawals. This statue 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 of each year.
If you have further questions please contact the Division of Water Resources at(919) 733-4064 or send

Dear Mr. Martinez:
The Land Quality Section of the Division of Land Resources must change your current mining
permit number in order to conform to a state government Universal County Code System.which is part
of an internet-based permit database management system. As part of this process, twelve (12)
counties are affected by this conversion, including the county where the above mine is located.
This permit number change does not affect or alter any conditions within your permit, nor does it
affect your current expiration date. Please note that the new mining permit number is 57.10. To avoid
any confusion in the future, please remove the old mining permit cover page and replace it with the
attached new cover page that contains the new mining permit number.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please contact me at [phone] if you have any
questions.

in accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved
by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as
the Department, and in conformity with the approved Reclamation,Plan attached to
and incorporated as part of this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of
the surrounding environment and for reclamation of the land and water affected by
the permitted mining operation. This permit is expressly conditioned upon compliance

performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable obligation, secured by
the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive the
expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If

operation, by virtue of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may
release the permittee from the duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his
permit and by the Mining Act with reference to the permitted operation, and transfer
the permit to the successor operator, provided that both operators have complied
with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor operator agrees to
assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the affected land
and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's
successor is not complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions
of this permit, or is failing to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining
Act, the Department may give the operator written notice of its intent to modify,
revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to modify the Reclamation Plan as

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Mark S. Dav Mountain Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: July 14, 1998
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal Application for Mr. Angus C. Martinez, Jr.
Rose Creek Mine - Permit No. 56-27
Macon County, North Carolina
This memorandum responds to a request by you for our review and comments regarding
the subject permit request submitted by Mr. Angus C. Martinez, Jr., for the Rose Crock Mine.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)has reviewed information
provided by the applicant, and an ousite investigation was conducted on July 14, 1998,to further
assess Potential impacts on wildlife and fisheries resources. These comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1992; G.S. 74-46 through
74.68; 15 NCAC 5)and the North Carolina General Statutes(G.S. 113-131 et. seq.).
The applicant proposes to continue miing for gemstones at a 5.00 acre site off of SR
1377, near the lolls Community in Macon County. Earthen material is excavated from an open
pit area and is placed in plastic bags and buckets. Customers purchase the bags/buckets and wash
soil from the gravel in a flume line to separate out the gems. Water is diverted from several
spring seeps(unnamed tributaries to lolls Creek) into a supply pond where the water is piped to
the flume line. Wastewater is routed through three settling ponds before it is recirculated through
the system. Streamfrow and available fishery habitat is limited in the project area.
The NCWRC is pleased that the applicants use a wastewater recycling system, which
mm mms impacts on aquatic resources. We do not object to the renewal of this permit, provided
the following conditions are met by the applicant:

i
J Yti--• • •
Mining Permit No. 56-27 Page 2 July 14, 1998
1. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be implemented and
maintained on the project site to avoid impacts to downstream aquatic resources. .
Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all reclaimed
areas to provide long-term erosion control.
2. Sediment ponds should be dipped out when they are half-full in order to maintain
proper function and to reduce the potential for overflow during major storm events.
Dredge spoil should be placed on upland sites and should not be flushed into
downstream waters.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If there are any
questions regarding these comments, please contact me at [phone].

Average employment The average number of persons working at an individual mining establishment
during periods (not necessarily continuous) of active operations.
Days lost The number of lost workdays not including the day of injury or onset of illness or any
days on which the employee would not have worked even though able to work.
Includes days away from work (consecutive or not) and days of restricted work
activity.
Employee hours worked The total numberof hours actually worked by all employees during the report period.
Includes all time on duty, but DOES NOT include any non-work time(holidays,sick
leave, vacation, etc.) even though paid.
First-aid treatment One-time treatment, and any follow-up visit for observational purposes, of a minor
injury.
Injury All reportable occupational injuries and those illnesses which result from a work
accident or from exposure involving a single incident in the work environment. A
reportable"injury"is any injury to a miner,occurring at a mining operation,forwhich
medical treatment(otherthan first-aid)is administered, or which results in death or
loss of consciousness, inability to perform all job duties on any day after an injury,
temporary assignment to other duties, or transfer to another job, The injury
occurrences are classified according to severity as follows:
Fatal cases: Occurrences resulting in death.
NFDL cases:Nonfatal occurrences with days lost. That is, nonfatal injury occur-
rences that result in days away from work or days of restricted work
activity.
NDL cases: Nonfatal occurrences having NO days lost. That is, nonfatal injury
occurrences resulting only in loss of consciousness or medical treat-
ment other than first aid.
Rates The number of injuries and illnesses, or lost workdays experienced during a given
report by 100 full-time workers. Rates on injury occurrence (incidence rates) are
developed on the basis of 200,000 hours of employee exposure (equivalent to 100
employees working 40 hours per week for 50 weeks peryear).Rateson injury severity
(severity measures) are developed using days away from work or days of restricted
work activity and the 200,000 hour base as criteria. The severity measure is also
known as a lost workday incidence rate. The rates are calculated as follows:
All incidence rate: Number of reportable injuries (col. 3) x 200,000 = All
(enter in col. 8) Employee hours worked (col. 2) incldence
rate
Fatal incidence rate: Number of fatal cases (col. 4) x 200,000 Fatal
(enter in col. 9) Employee hours worked (col. 2) incidence
rate
NFDL Incidence rate: Number of NFDL cases (col. 5) x 200,000 NFDL
(enter in col. 10) Employee hours worked (cot. 2) incldence
rate
NDL incidence rate: Number of NDL cases (col. b) x 200,000 NDL
(enter in col. 11) Employee hours worked (col. 2) r incidence
rate
Severity measure: Number of days lost (cot. 7) x 200,000 = Severity

RE: Notice of Deficiency
Rose Creek Mine (No. 56-27)
Macon County
Dear Mr. Martinez:
On November 9, 1989, an inspection of the referenced mine was performed
and several deficiencies were found that require your attention. The deficien-
cies discovered and the necessary corrective actions are as follows:
1. A vertical-sided ditch has been cut to carry the creek around
your mine operation. This channel must be shaped so that the
creek slopes can be retained by vegetation or must be piped
to eliminate the vertical slopes.
2. Fill material has been placed directly adjacent to the
existing creek. This material must be pulled back and a
buffer, such as silt fence, placed between the fill and the
creek.
3. All exposed soil must be stabilized with a ground cover.
If the previously described deficiencies are not corrected within 30 days
following receipt of this Notice, this matter will be referred to the Director,
Division of Land Resources, for issuance of a Notice of violation in an effort
to secure compliance at this 'mine.
Do not hesitate to contact either Lisa Shepherd or me regarding any questions
you may have about this matter.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Phillips, P.E.

Re: Delinquent 1985 Annual Reclamation Report
Rose Creek Mine - permit No, 56-27
Dear Mine Dperator:
As stated by the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development in
Its letter dated May 2, 1986, your firm has failed to file an Annual Reclamation
Report for the 1983 calendar year. This Report is required by C.S. 74-55 and
Regulation No. 5B.0010 of The Mining Act of 1971 for all mines under permit whether
they are active or inactive, but not released. Failure to submit the Report by
February 1, 1986 is a violation of your mining permit and is subject to enforcement
action.
You or your firm were given until May 20, 1986, to file a late Report, thereby
precluding the initiation of any such enforcement action, To date the Department
has not received your Report and, therefore, is informing ynu that you are in
violation of your permit, Failure to file the Report within 30 days of receipt of
this notice on the enclosed form my, under authority of G.S. 74-64, result in the
assessment of a civil penalty of $100.00. This assessment will accrue at the rate
of $100.00 for each additional 30 day period of the continuance of this violation.
Continued non-compliance may, under authority of G.S. 74-58, ultimately result in
revocation of your permit.
The responsibility for understanding and complying with the requirement of the
Act rests upon the individuals and firms who are subject to its requirements.
Do not hesitate to contact Mr. Thomas Carroll, Acting Mining Specialist,
regarding any questions you may have about this matter at (919) 733-4574.
Very truly yours,
Srephen G. Conrad
