RE: Danny Smith Landscaping & Drainage
Proposed Modification: Alphin Pit (#54-68)
Lenoir County
Dear Mr. Parr,
The following addresses the comments in your letter dated November 28, 2023.
1. The cleared area at the south side of the site will continue to be used as a haul road.
The use of this haul road is to deliver sand to adjacent property, which is a customer.
2. The culvert at the southern side of the property will be removed after the adjacent
property owner is not a customer.
3. No activity will occur in the 50' buffer on the west side. It has been changed to an
undisturbed buffer. See enclosed mine map.
4. The groundwater in the PWS Wellhead Protection Area will be protected from
inadvertent adverse impacts by two confining layers between the bottom of the
proposed excavation (30' max) and the bottom of the well. The well is 400' deep and
there is a confining layer between approximately 50' and 90', and another between 260'
and 295'. See enclosed Hydrogeological Framework Database Detail.
Two copies of the revised map and additional information are enclosed. If you have any
questions or need additional information, do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
H44C K. F..r. WA404
