RE'. Mining Permit No. 96-32
Whitfield Hwy 55 East Mine
Wayne County
Dear Allen Barnhill:
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 to 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 S400 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
$50lmonth 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
Werner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].
Sincerely,

Please see below our comments for the above mentioned mine:
Map:
• The map submitted for this permit transfer does not show current site conditions- the
adjoining mining operation Macies' Pit, the previously mined pit area 1 is not entirely a
water impoundment as shown on the current map, and another haul road that splits the
• �• Macie Pit and pit area 2 is tocated in the not so wooded area. Also a seeded area as shown
6 was not observed. Refer to map dated 11-2-2007, (renewal approved map).
• The property line is not shown or revised between the Macie Pit and the proposed Barnhill
J Pit.
• The proposed 25 foot buffer is not adequate to protect the property line. This area has
already been mined between the Macie and the Whitfield Hwy 55-E mine.
The type of 25 foot buffer is not provided. An undisturbed buffer would not work here.
• Provide a construction detail for a construction entrance pad at the haul road entrance.
vp • Pit area 1 is the only area to be transferred according to the application. Where will the
haul road be located? The haul road runs through Pit area 2.???
Permit boundary ,must be clearly marked especially between the Macie and Hwy55 E Pit.

Neuse River Basin
The application for a permit has been reviewed with the following comments made:
A site visit was conducted on November 21, 2007 with the following comments made:
1 part' 7 of ilia nnnlientinn indirntfc the nnrtinl release of 1 1.2.2 acre$_ The than indicate- the nartial
release of 10.52 acres. Please clarify which amount you are requesting to be released?
2. Permanently mark the boundary between permits' 96-32 and 96-42. The boundary is difficult to
determine due to the extent of the excavation of Pit##1. (Overlapping of the boundaries is very
possible especially if disagreements occur over bond release or cancellations).

SEEDING PLAN- REX WHITFIELD MINE
LOCATION-
nlr` qq 7 miloe cnet of RAni int nii,o
AREA TO BE SEEDED-
Approximately 15 acres
SOIL TYPES-
Lucy Loamy Sand
LIME AND FERTILIZER-
Where amendments can be incorporated and soils are reasonably uniform, lime
and fertilize according to soil test. In the absence of a soil test, apply 2 tons of
finely ground dolomitic limestone per acre and 800 pounds of 20%
superphosphate or equivalent per acre. Additional analyses of fertilizers to use
at seeding are.1,000 pounds per acre of 10-10-10 or equivalent. An additional
application of 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre plus other nutrients is usually
needed within three (3) to twelve (12) months after planting. Application should
be based on soil test.
Where site conditions prevent soil incorporation of lime and fertilizer, soil
samples should be taken prior to applying soil amendments. Indicate on the soil
test.information sheet that the lime and fertilizer will be applied by means of .
hydroseeding equipment or cannot be incorporated in order to obtain proper
recommendations.
If soil test results are not available at seeding, and site conditions prevent soil
incorporation, the first application of lime and fertilizer will be one (1) tort of finely
ground dolomitic limestone and 400 pounds of 10-10-10- fertilizer per acre or
equivalent. This rate also applies when hydroseeding. Then apply identical
amounts at the beginning of the first growing season after seeding.

SEEDBED PREPARATION-
Work lime and fertilizer into the soil where conventional equipment can be used.
Use disk or similar equipment to prepare to depth of 3-4 inches. Use ripper if
necessary.
Lime and fertilize may be applied with seed mixture when a hydroseeder is used
and where mulch will be applied. Seedbed preparation may not be necessary
where hydroseeding equipment is used.
Slopes that are too steep for conventional equipment (2:1 or steeper) should be
seeded with hydroseeding equipment. Where hydroseeding equipment is not
available for use on steep slopes, scarify the.soil surface with a.chain harrow,

Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application request for the above referenced project. .
"fhe Rex Whitfield Hvvy 55 Fast Mine located in Wayne County does not appear to have an unduly adverse
affect on groundwater supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the mine starts to
withdraw 10,000 gpd to 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to rceister their water withdrawals and if this mine
starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd or more of wafer, they will need to obtain a CCPCUA permit.
A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) permit must be obtained from the Division of Water
Resources if the withdrawal exceeds 100,000 gallons per day and occurs in Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Duplin,
Edgccombe, Grecne, .ions, Lenoir, Martin, Onsiow, Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.

SEEDING PLAN- REX WHITFIELD MINE
LOCATION-
NC 55, 2 miles east of Mount Olive
AREA TO BE SEEDED-
Approximately 15 acres
SOIL TYPES-
Lucy Loamy Sand
LIME AND FERTILIZER-
Where amendments can be incorporated and soils are reasonably uniform, lime
and fertilize according to soil test. In the absence of a soil test, apply 2 tons of
finely ground dolomitic limestone per acre and 800 pounds of 20%
superphosphate or equivalent per acre. Additional analyses of fertilizers to use
at seeding are 1,000 pounds per acre of 10-10-10 or equivalent. An additional
application of 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre plus other nutrients is usually
needed within three (3) to twelve (12) months after planting. Application should
be based on soil test.
Where site conditions prevent soil incorporation of lime and fertilizer, soil
samples should be taken prior to applying soil amendments. Indicate on the soil
test information sheet that the lime and fertilizer will be applied by means of
hydroseeding equipment or cannot be incorporated in order to obtain proper
recommendations.
If soil test results are not available at seeding, and site conditions prevent soil
inrnrnnratinn- the first gnnlirAtinn of lime and fprtili7pr will hp nne (1) ton of finely
-----' --'---'-"I ---- - -- -F-f "'--'-'--. -. .....- -...- '-"'''--' --- -- -''- \ 'I --'" -" "" '-"J
ground dolomitic limestone and 400 pounds of 10-10-10- fertilizer per acre or
equivalent. This rate also applies when hydroseeding. Then apply identical
amounts at the beginning of the first growing season after seeding.

SEEDBED PREPARATION-
Work lime and fertilizer into the soil where conventional equipment can be used.
Use disk or similar equipment to prepare to depth of 3-4 inches. Use ripper if
necessary.
Lime and fertilize may be applied with seed mixture when a hydroseeder is used
and where mulch will be applied. Seedbed preparation may not be necessary
where hydroseeding equipment is used.
Slopes that are too steep for conventional equipment (2:1 or steeper) should be
seeded with hydroseeding equipment. Where hydroseeding equipment is not
available for use on steep slopes, scarify the soil surface with a chain harrow,
pick chain, grader blades with chisel, hand tools or other equipment that will
make trenches approximately 1-2 inches deep, 6-12 inches apart across the
slope in which the seed can lodge and germinate.
SEEDING-
Recommended seeding dates-
February 15- April 30 and September 1- October 31
80 Ibslacre KY-31 Tall Fescue and
501bslac Bahiagrass
30 Ibslac Sericea lespedeza
10 Ibs Kobe lespedeza
Between April 15 and August 15, add 10 Ibslacre millet or 15lbslacre
Sudangrass. Prior to May 1 or after August 15 add 25 Ibslacre rye (grain).
Between September 1 and March 1, use unscarified sericea seed.
MULCH
Use dry, unchopped, unweathered small grain straw or hay free of seeds of
competing plants. Spread at the rate of 2 tons per acre. Evenly spread mulch
over the area by hand or mechanical equipment. Apply mulch uniformly so that
about 25% of the ground surface is visible.

IRRIGATION
If the soil moisture is deficient, supply new plantings with adequate water. 3-4
inches penetration for plant growth at 10-day intervals if needed until they are
well established. This is most important on late season planting, in abnormally
dry, hot seasons.

Dear Mr. Couling:
`'''`"' ''- We are in receipt of the $52,700.00, $79,400.00, $9,200.00, and
•r $1 1,800,00 replacement surety bonds issued by United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company that you have recently submitted to this office. As these new
bonds sufficiently replace the previous bonds, issued in the same amounts by
Pennsylvania National Mutual Casualty Insurance Company, I am returning the
'•.�•=' latter bonds to you for your records.
' I have reviewed each of your company's mining permit files_ and have
"z w discovered that several of your sites are overbonded. The required bond for
Mining Permit No. 96-28 is $34,200.00. However, your company currently has a
$52,700.00 surety bond on file for the site. The required bond for Mining Permit
No. 96-30 is $30 600.00. However, your company currently has a $79 400.00
bond on file for this site. Lastly, the required bond for Mining Permit No..96-35 is
$6,000.00. However, your company currently has a $9,200.00 surety bond on f le
for this site. I have attached the respective bond calculation workslieets for your
review. You may wish to reduce the bands to the required bond amounts for each
site or maintain the current amounts to cover future, approved modifications/

a stormwater point source discharge coming from a process area, stockpile area or truck

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
RE: Whitfield Enterprises, Inc.
I received a NOTICE of Whitfield Enterprises, Inc.'s request to modify an existing surface mining permit.
Appartently, I am an adjacent land owner to the proposed site. A map was not included with the notice_
1Unlild U-1- A rnnv of lhn man
Apparently, the proposed mining site is adjacent to my approximately 70 acre pond. Therefore, my concerns
relate to the potential effects on my land and its value. The following is a listing of my stance,concerns and
requests in relation to the proposed site:
♦ The excavation site may not drain into the pond.
♦ The excavation can not impact on the water-level of my pond. Since I own to the high-water mark;
in the event a channel or access results from the mining_;then the additional water area becomes my
property.
♦ The site must be maintained and left in an environmentally healthy manner, in addition to being
visually attractive.
♦ The site must not have a negative impact on the value of the adjacent property owners land and
water.
request that information be provided to me on the Department's actions on the above requests and concerns
in relation to the mining permit requested by Whitfield Enterprises; Inc. since I believe excavation has
already begun. Are there engineering plans which will ensure that the above requests will be met'?
Thank you for your assistance and response.
Respectfully,
Roma Gavle W. Weds

The application for renewal and modification has been
reviewed and the following comments made:
1 . On December 20 , 1996 I met with Mr. Rex Whitfield,
Whitfield Enterprises, Inc. , and Mr. David Sutton, Cox-
Edwards Company. The meeting took place at the Cox-
Edwards Company building in Goldsboro. I went over the
application and mine maps with them and made some
recommendation for changing a few things.
2 . The bond for the renewal area should be recalculated
due to the changes in the worksheet since April 19 ,
1995. The credit for the recalculation could be
applied toward the bond amount that is needed for the
proposed modification area.
3 . David Sutton, Cox-Edwards Company, did a real good job
on the mining application and the mine maps. It
appears that everything has been addressed. Mr. Clyde
A. Williams was notified as an adjoining property owner
in the original application in 1988 .

} Mine Reclamation
Dear Mr. Sutton:
Below is your seeding plan for the borrow pit located off of
Highway 55, 4 . 5 miles east of Mount Olive. The pits are
located on property adjacent to Williams Mill Pond.
SEEDING PLAN- Whitfield-HWY 55 East
AREA TO BE SEEDED-Approximately 15 acres impacted.
h
8 acres to be seeded.
SOIL TYPE- Waq_ram Loamy Sand, 6 to 10 percent slopes.
Lucy loamy Sand, 0 'to 2 percent slopes.
LIME AND FERTILIZER-
Where amendments can be incorporated and soils are
reasonably uniform, lime and fertilize according to soil
test. In the absence of a soil test, apply 2 tons finely
ground dolomitic _limestone per acre and 800 pounds of 20%
superphosphate- or equivalent per acre. Additional amounts
of analysis of fertilizers to use at seeding are: 1 , 000
pounds per acre of 10-10-10- or equivalent. An additional
application of 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre plus other
nutrients is usually needed within three (3) to twelve (12)
months after planting. Application should be based on soil
test.
Where Site conditions prevent soil incorporation of lime and
fertilizer, soil samples should be taken prior to applying
soil amendments. Indicate on the soil test information
sheet that the lime and fertilizer will be applied by means
of hydroseeding eq«i.pment or cannot be incorporated in order
to obtain proper recommendations .

0 0
If soil test results are not available at seeding, first
application of lime and fertilizer will be one (1) ton of
finely ground dolomitic limestone, 400 pounds of 10-10-10
fertilizer per acre or equivalent. This rate also applies
when hydroseeding. Then apply identical amounts at the
beginning of the first growing season after seeding.
SEEDBED PREPARATION-
Work lime and fertilizer into the soil where conventional
equipment can be used. Use disk or similar equipment to
prepare to depth of 3-4 inches. Use ripper if necessary.
Lime and fertilize may be applied with seed mixture when a
hydroseeder is used and where mulch will be applied.
Seedbed preparation may not be necessary where hydroseeding
equipment is used.
Sloped that are too steep for conventional equipment (2 : 1 or
steeper) should be seeded with hydroseeding equipment.
Where hydroseeding equipment is not available for use on
steep d o p ed, scarify t he s o i l surface ;:l th a chain harrow,
pick chain, grader blades with chisels, hand tools or other
equipment that will put the soil or make trenches
approximately 1-2 inches deep, 6-12 inches apart across the
slope in which the seed can lodge and germinate.
SEEDING-
August September
50 lbs/ac. of Tall Fescue
30 lbs/ac Browntop Millet
September-November
50 lbs/ac Tall Fescue
1 bu/ac Small Grain
January-March
10 lbs/ac Common Bermuda Grass (Unhulled)
April-July
8 lbs/Ac Common Bermuda Grass (hulled)
MULCH
Use dry, unchopped, unweathered small grain straw or hay
free of seeds of competing plants. Spread at the rate of 2
tons per acre. Evenly spread mulch over the area by hand or
mechanical equipment . Apply mtil.ch unifor.ml.y so that :,ibout
25% of the ground surface is visible .

IRRIGATION-
If the soil moisture is deficient, supply new planting with
adequate water. 3-4 inches penetration for plant growth at
10-day intervals, if needed until they are well established.
This is most important on late season planting, in
abnormally dry, hot seasons.
Sincerely,
Patricia S. Gabriel
District Conservationist

RE: Whitfield Hwy. 55 East Mine - Wayne County
Dear Mr. Whitfield:
The application for a mining permit for Whitfield Hwy. 55 East Mine in
Wayne County has been found to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The
Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the required surety to cover this
application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 96-32 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
June 30, 1998. G. S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit does
not supersede local zoning regulations. The responsibility of compliance
with the applicable zoning regulations lies with you.
This permit does not preclude the assessment of a civil penalty for
mining without a permit or for other violations committed prior to the
issuance of this permit.
Please review the permit and notify this office of any objection or
question concerning the terms of the permit.
Sincerely,
rid

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 camplying 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

Dear Mr. Couling,
This letter is in response to our telephone conversation on
February 8 , 1995 . You requested information on the bonding status
of your Company's mining permits. Please find attached the bond
calculation worksheets for the mining permits your Company
currently holds with this Department. I have also enclosed a
schedule of reclamation costs and bond forms for your use.
The breakdown of the bonding requirements of the five
Whitfield Enterprise Mines is as follows:
Permit No. 96-28 $52 ,700 .00
Edwards Borrow Pit
Permit No. 96-30 $79 ,400. 00
Rose Pit
Permit No. 96-31. $5 , 700. 00
Buckhorn Pit
Permit No. 96-32 $7 , 800 . 00
Hwy. 55- East Pit
Permit No. 96-35 $9 , 200 . 00
Buckhorn No. 2 Pit
As you can see, the new bonding requirement will not meet or
exceed the $500,000 . 00 cap for reclamation bonds.

area has not been surveyed previously by an archaeologist. Based on the
topographical and hydrological location of the project, there is a high
probability for archaeological sites in or near the project area.
By copy of this memorandum, we are notifying Mr. Rex Whitfield, the
permit applicant, that we will perform an on-site inspection for the
Land Quality Section in the near future. We will contact Mr. Whitfield
to schedule the visit and provide notification to the Land Quality

Re: Whitfield Hwy. 55 East Mine
Wayne County
Dear Mr. Whitfield:
Your application for a mining permit for Whitfield Hwy. 55 East Mine in
Wayne County has been reviewed. Enclosed is a draft of the nd.ning permit
proposed by the Department. The conditions in the draft permit were based
primarily upon information supplied in your application with conditions added
if necessary to ensure compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
Also enclosed is a form for your use in securing the required
$5,000.00 surety bond. For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form and
an assignment of a savings account form. The name on the bond or assignment
form must be the same as the name appearing on the application for a mining
permit. In addition to one of these alternatives you may, upon request,
substitute a cash deposit, mortgage of real property or negotiable
securities.
Please review the draft permit and contact this office should you have
any objection or question concerning the permit conditions. G.S. 74-51
provides the operator 60 days following the mailing of application approval
notice in which to file the required surety.
The permit will be issued when the required surety 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 supercede local zoning
regulations. The responsibility of cat¢2liance with the applicable zoning
regulations lies with you.

Proposed Whitfield Highway 55 East Mine
Wayne County
The application states that the ground water table is approximately 19' below
the surface and that the mine will be reclaimed as a lake with a water depth
of 10-19' . The maximum anticipated : mine depth is only to be 19' . The only
water in the mine will be stormwater runoff if the water table is at 19' below
the surface.
Tne mine map shows that a buffer zone of at least 100' is to be maintained
between the pit area and Williams' Pond. This should be an adequate buffer
zone. A buffer zone of more than 30' may be needed along the adjacent properties
if the angle of final slopes is to be 2H: 1V.
The site was inspected on June 14, 1988 by Harry Bailey. At the time of
inspection, approximately 1 .5 acres of mining activity had taken place at
this site. There should not be any problems with the site if adequate buffer
zones are maintained.
Floyd Williams talked with Rex Whitfield on 6-20-88. Mr. Whitfield stated
that they most likely would not mine the area to the depth indicated. He
stated that it may be left as a pasture and that he intended to give it to his
boy.

Proposed Whitfield Highway 55 East Pit
Wayne County
Dear Ms. Williams:
Thank you for your letter of June 14, 1988 concerning the proposed sand
operation approximately 1 mile west of Williams near N.C. Highway 55 in Wayne
County.
The concerns expressed in your letter certainly deserve evaluation. Before
a decision to grant or deny the permit is made, these concerns as well as any
other concerns within the jurisdiction of G.S. 74--51 of The Mining Act of 1971
(copy enclosed) will be carefully considered. During the application review,
site inspections will be made and continents from other agencies concerning
potential impact to wildlife, water and air quality will be sought.
It should be noted that if a permit is issued for this site, it is the
Department's standard policy to require sufficient buffer zones, erosion/
sediment control measures, revegetation of disturbed areas, reclamation plans,
etc. as conditions of the mining permit. A reclamation bond is posted by the
applicant which is held by the Department. The operator must comply with his
mining permit operating and reclamation conditions or he will be subject to
possible civil penalties, injunctive relief, or bond forfeiture actions.
Again thank you for your interest in this matter. I assure you that a
careful review will be made before granting or denying this application.
Very truly yours,
r�
