RE: Cherokee Ruby&Sapphire Mine DEMLR
Mining Permit No.57-08
Macon County
Little Tennessee River Basin
This letter is in response to the request for additional documentation to complete the transfer of
our mining permit from Blue Bucket Entertainment and Novelties to Cherokee Ruby Mine L.L.C.
I do apologize for the delay while waiting on clarification about the exemption for a tourist gem
mine. I was informed that we are exempt however we still needed to apply for the Stormwater
Permit. Our application for the NPDES stormwater permit has now been submitted and paid for.
Here are the
�(two copies of the NOI for the NPDES stormwater permit as requested.
