RE'. Mining Permit No. 89-10
W Alton Ainsley Mine
Tyrrell County
Dear W Alton Ainsley:
This letter is to advise you of recent amendments to the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 which impact the
permit term of your existing mining permit. Pursuant to the passage of House Bill 56, which became law on October 4,
2017 as SL 2017-209, all existing mining permits and any newly issued mining permits are to be issued for the life of site
or for the duration of the lease term. The "life of site' means the period from the initial receipt of a permit for the operation
until the mining operation terminates and the required reclamation is completed.
Considering the above, this letter hereby modifies your existing mining permit to remove all references to the prior
expiration date to convert your permit to a life of site or lease permit effective immediately. No action is required on your
part for this modification 4o be effective. Please attach this letter to your existing mining permit for future reference. The
mine name and permit number on the permit document, and all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained
therein, shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS §74-51 and GS §74-52 still apply to all new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, SL 2017-209 also enacted a new annual mining
permit operating fee of$400 per mining permit number. By statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be
submitted to this office by December 31, 2017—see the attached Invoice to remit the initial annual fee payment by this
deadline. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by July 1 of each year with the required
Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS §74-55. Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a
$50/month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.
Lastly, pursuant to GS §74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from $500,000 to $1 million. Any
adjustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this office or addressed during your next requested permit action
unless you contact this office with a written request to have your bond reevaluated.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning regulations. The
responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations remains with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions on the above, please contact Ms, Judy
Wenner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at(919) 707-9220.

Re: V11. Alton Ainsley Mine
Tyrrell County
Pasquotank River Basin
Dear Mr. Ainsley:
The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the
required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 89-10 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on September 12, 2021. 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.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage and affected acreage for this site are both 10
acres, as indicated in the application and on the mine map last revised May 26, 2011.
Please review the permit and contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining
Specialist, at [phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.
Sincerely,

the expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining 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 incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department

Re: W. Alton Ainsley Mine (Draft Permit)
Tyrrell County
Pasquotank River Basin
Dear Mr, Ainsley:
Your application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been
reviewed but not yet approved. Enclosed is a draft of the mining permit proposed by the
Department. The conditions in the draft permit were based primarily upon information
supplied in your application. Other necessary conditions may have been added to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted
in the application (see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is $10,300.00.00.
The bond is required before the permit can be issued. For your convenience, I have enclosed
a bond form, an assignment of a savings account form and an irrevocable standby letter of
credit form. The name on the security form must be the same as the name appearing on the
enclosed draft permit, i.e., W. Alton Ainsley. In addition to one of these alternatives you may,
Upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and the reclamation bond worksheet, and
contact this office should you have any objections or questions concerning the permit
conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a
notice of the required bond in which to file the required surety.
The permit cannot be issued until the required security has been received. No mining
may be conducted until the permit is issued. 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.

MINING PERMIT EXPIRATION DATE: *, 2021

Page 2
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 with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed 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 another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining 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 incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.

FROM: Amin Davis, Environmental Review Coordinator'
Division of Parks and Recreation—Natural Resources Program
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for W. Alton Ainsley Mine("Tyrrell County)
The North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation (DPR) has reviewed the project area of the above-referenced mining
permit application request generally located at the coordinates 35.84645 latitude / -76.27766 longitude. Per the site
information you sent to us via your cover letter dated May 2, 2011, we did not find locations of State Parks, Wild &
Scenic Rivers, or other DPR managed lands or interests within the vicinity of this site.
However, this site is located less than %z mile west of a Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge (PLNWR) a very large
tract of natural land owned by the United States fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS). This same tract of land is also
designated as a Significant Natural Heritage Area of national significance referred to as `Upper Alligator River Pocosin'
by the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP). Furthermore, Nationai Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and United States
Geological Survey mapping indicates the presence of significant wetland areas surrounding the project area. DPR
recommends further consultations with the USFWS, NI-1P, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. DPR also
recommends the implementation of environmental best management practices such as those found in the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission's `Guidance Document to 4ddress and Miligale Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic
and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water Quality' into all phases of this proposed project.
DPR appreciates the opportunity to comment on this proposed project. Please contact me if' you require additional
information.

Dear Mr. Ainsley:
We have reviewed the application you submitted for the referenced mine site. However,
the following information is needed to continue processing your application:
1. Provide proof, such as signed copies of the return receipts from certified mail that
the adjoining landowners and county manager have been properly notified.
2. Provide erosion and sediment control measures along the northern and western
boundaries to prevent sediment from entering the ditch and canal. Provide a
construction entrance for the haul road.
3. Show the location of the typical sections structure on the mine map. Use the
symbols provided on Sheet 2. Clarify the buffer along the northwestern boundary
that parallels the canal and the map scale on the mine map (150' or 200' per
inch).
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
above have been fully addressed. In addition, please note the Land Quality Section may
request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application review
progresses.
In order to complete the processing of your application, please forward two (2) copies of
the requested information to my attention at the following address:

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter 74,
Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is unlikely that any
archaeological sites which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be
affected by the proposed borrowing. We, therefore,recommend that no archaeological investigation be
conducted in connection with this project.
While we note that this project review Ls only for a state permit, the potential for federal permits may require
further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Rence GledhOl-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579.

SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Application Request for:
W Alton Ainsley
W Alton Ainsley Mine
Tyrell County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application request for the above referenced project.
The W Alton Ainsley Mine located in Tyrell 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. 143-215.221-1. This statue requires any
non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface
water to register and update 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 I for the previous
year.
If you have further questions please contact the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or send

API LIGATION FOR A MINING PA IT
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the mine mal)(y). Attach additional sheets as needed.
The area within the permit boundary is cleared farmland and the site is relatively flat,so no clearing and grading
is needed. Haul Road/Access to mine from public road will be constructed with a security gate with loci` and a
minimum of 50 feet length from public road covered with 45 stone or larger. Haul Road/Access will be 15 Feet
wide. Mine boundaries will be established and clearly marked. An earthen berm 2 feet high with 3 horizontal to
1 vertical slope and I foot wide flat bench on top will be constructed and seeded along the interior of the
unexcavated buffer such that all drainage within the excavated area will be internal to the mine and all drainage
outside of the earthen berm will be to existing drainage ditches outside the permitted area. Excavations will
begin at the southwestern end of the existing pond and proceed toward the southeast and then to the northeast to
join the existing pond in the vicinity of the haul road entrance to the mine. Reclamation will be concurrent with
mining operations such that mined areas will be sloped and seeded as mining proceeds. Excavations will be
sloped a minimum of 3 horizontal to I vertical, or flatter. Sand will be placed on level ground to dewater and
then loaded into trucks as needed. Excavations will be "in the wet", so no dewatering will be needed.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (Include specific plans for sediment and erosion control,foi-mine
excavalion(v), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of
installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion
control measures on the mine map(S) and provide typical ci-os.l-sections/construclion details Of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
Excavated area will be sloped 3 horizontal to 1 vertical such that all rainwater will drain into the
mine. A minimum 25 feet unexcavated buffer interiorto the northeastern permit boundary(boundary with Haul
