RE: Mining Permit No. 10-91
Alligator Branch Sand Pit
Brunswick County
Dear Salisbury Partners LLC:
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$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
Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at(919) 707-9220.

RE: Alligator Branch Sand Pit

Dear Ms. Collins:
The review has been completed on the modification request your company submitted
for the referenced mine site. In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced
project in accordance with GS 74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the
following:
The reclamation bond was calculated for this site using the information with the
application request. The reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be $17,500.00.
The calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the bond or balance ($2,700.00) will
be required prior to approval of this modification.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings
account form and irrevocable standby letter of credit form for your use in securing the required
bond. The name on the security must be the same as the name appearing on the application
for a mining permit, i.e. Salisbury Partners, LLC. In addition to one of these alternatives, you
may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that the modification request cannot be completed until the new bond
amount has been received.
As required by G.S. 74-51 (h), you are hereby advised that you have 60 days from the
date of your receipt of this letter to submit the reclamation bond. If you are unable to meet this
deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit information, in writing, to the
Director clearly indicating why the deadline cannot be met and request that an extension of
time be granted.

Brunswick County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit modification request for the above referenced project.
There is not enough information provided in the application for Alligator Branch Sand Pit located in
Brunswick County to know if they will have an unduly adverse effect on ground water supplies.
Dewatering is proposed on site, however, the amount to be dewatered and the method for dewatering is
not explained. if the mine pumps 100,000 gallons of water or more per day, they will need to register
their water withdrawals with the Division of Water Resources on an annual basis. The registration
form may be obtained from the following link:
httpJ/www.ncwater.org/Permits_and_Regisimiion/Water Witlidrawal_and—Transfer_Registration.
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute G.S. 1 43-215.22H.. This statute 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 regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr with
the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or email him [e-mail].

RE: Request for Modification to Mining Permit 10-91 —Alligator Branch Pit
Brunswick County,North Carolina
Dear Judy,
Southern Environmental Group, Inc. (SEGi) has been retained by Salisbury Partners, LLC. ("Permittee"), to
proceed with requesting a modification of Mining Pen-nit 10-91, which was issued on 7 July 2015, for 31.5 acres.
With the submittal of the attached Mining Permit, updated mining plan, and filing fee, the Permittee is requesting
to modify Mining Pen-nit 10-91 and for it to be set to expire 10 years from the issuance date.
It has been determined that the project cannot be completed without dewatering. With that being said, the
Permittee has submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI), to the Division of Energy Mineral and Land Resources
(DEMLR) -- Stormwater Unit, for a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the NCG020000 — Industrial
Stormwater Permit. With the inclusion-the-sediment-basins (4.45-Ac.);the-raw-Total Affected Acreage-will-be".
24.05 Ac. The Pennittible--Area-will Eeenain at 31.5 Ac. For details of the proposed plan,please refer to the
attached applicable pages of the Mining Application and updated Mining Plan, which also include drainage,
erosion control and stormwater measures.
Part of the permit process is to determine if the project does not meet any of the following criteria, as listed under
G.S. 74-51 of the Mining Act of 1971, which would invoke the Department to deny or revoke the permit:
1. That any requirement of this Article or any rule promulgated hereunder will be violated by the
proposed operation;
2. That the operation will have unduly adverse effects on potable ground water supplies, wildlife, or
fresh water, estuarine, or marine fisheries;
3. That the operation will violate standards of air quality, surface water quality, or ground water
quality, which have been promulgated by the Department;
4. That the operation will constitute a direct and substantial physical hazard to public health and safety
or to a neighboring dwelling house, school, church, hospital, commercial or industrial building,
public road or other public property,excluding,matters relating to use of public road;
5. That the operation will have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of publicly-awned park,
forest or recreation area;
6. That previous experience with similar operations indicates a substantial possibility that the operation
will result in substantial deposits of sediment in stream beds or lakes, landslides, or acid water

pollution; or
7. That the Permittee or any parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate of the Permittee or parent has not been
in substantial compliance with this Article, rules adopted under this Article, or other laws or rules of
this State for the protection of the environment or has not corrected all violations that the Permittee
or any parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate of the Permittee or parent may have committed under this
Article or rules adopted under this Article and that result in:
a. Revocation of the permit,
b. Forfeiture of part or all of the bond or other security,
C. Conviction of a misdemeanor under G.S. 74-64,
d. Any other court order issued under G.S. 74-64,or
e. Final assessment of a civil penalty under G.S. 74-64.
The Permittee and SEGi feel the project will not invoke any of the aforementioned criteria and the requested
modification should be issued. According to your fee schedule, the processing fee for the modification of the
mining permit is $750.00. Please find the processing fee attached to this letter of request.
It is my sincere hope, that the information found within and attached to this letter will allow the DEMLR to
process the request and authorization will be issued. However, if you find you need additional information,
please do not hesitate to contact me at 910.452.2711 or email me at dlutheran r se gi.us.
As always, thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Dana A. Lutheran

Re: Alligator Branch Sand Pit (Draft Permit)
Brunswick County
Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Ms. Collins:
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
on the revised maps (see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is $14,800.00.
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., Salisbury Partners, LLC. 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.

all lands and waters affected by this mining operation will receive the
greatest practical degree of protection and restoration.
MINING PERMIT EXPIRATION DATE: *, 2025

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.
Definitions
Wherever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise,
terms shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S, 74-49.
Expiration Date
This permit shall be effective from the date of its issuance until *, 2025.
Conditions

separable obligation of the permittee, which continues beyond the terms of the Mining Permit.
The approved plan provides:
Minimum Standards As Provided By G.S. 74-53
1. The final slopes in all excavations in soil, sand, gravel and other unconsolidated
materials shall be at such an angle as to minimize the possibility of slides and be
consistent with the future use of the land.
2. Provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property must be provided in all
excavations in rock.
3. All overburden and spoil shall be left in a configuration which is in accordance with
accepted conservation practices and which is suitable for the proposed subsequent use
of the land.
4. No small pools of water shall be allowed to collect or remain on the mined area that are,
or are likely to become noxious, odious or foul.
5. The revegetation plan shall conform to accepted and recommended agronomic and
reforestation practices as established by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station and the North Carolina Forest Service.
6. Permittee shall conduct reclamation activities pursuant to the Reclamation Plan herein
incorporated. These activities shall be conducted according to the time schedule
included in the plan, which shall to the extent feasible provide reclamation simultaneous
with mining operations and in any event, provide reclamation at the earliest practicable
time after completion or termination of mining on any segment of the permit area and
shall be completed within two years after completion or termination of mining.
RECLAMATION CONDITIONS:
1. Provided further, and subject to the Reclamation schedule, the planned reclamation
shall be to restore the mine excavation to a lake area and to grade and revegetate the
adjacent disturbed areas.
2. The specifications for surface gradient restoration to a surface suitable for the planned
future use are as follows:
A. The lake area shall be excavated to maintain a minimum water depth of four feet
measured from the low water table elevation.

Page 7
B. The side slopes to the lake excavation shall be graded to a 3 horizontal to 1
vertical or flatter to the water line and 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter below the
water line.
C. Any areas used for wastepiles, screening, stockpiling or other processing shall
be leveled and smoothed.
D. No contaminants shall be permanently disposed of at the mine site. On-site
disposal of waste shall be in accordance with Operating Condition Nos. 10A
through D.
E. The affected land shall be graded to prevent the collection of noxious or foul
water.
3. ReveQetation Plan:
After site preparation, all disturbed land areas shall be revegetated as per the Grassing
Details on the mine map, Sheet M2 of 2, last revised May 5, 2015.
Whenever possible, disturbed areas should be vegetated with native warm season
grasses such as switch grass, Indian grass, bluestem and gamma grass.
In addition, the permittee shall consult with a professional wildlife biologist with the N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission to enhance post-project wildlife habitat at the site.
4. Reclamation Plan:
Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In
any event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or
termination of mining of any mine segment under permit. Final reclamation, including
revegetation, shall be completed within two years of completion or termination of
mining.
Permit issued this *th day of* 2015.

Re: Alligator Branch Sand Pit

Dear Judith-.
In response to your request for additional information dated December 23, 2014, we offer the
following:
1. The permit boundary has been clearly labeled. The buffers and buffer types have been clearly
labeled.
2. A cross section of the final reclamation of the site is provided. Areas to be graded and seeded as well
as covered by water at the time of final reclamation are provided in the cross section. Undisturbed
buffer acreage is provided.
3. A copy of the signed return receipt from Martin Marietta Material Inc. certified mail will be provided
upon receipt.
4. Southern Environmental Group, Inc. (SEGI) has performed a wetland delineation. It is of their
professional opinion that the wetlands line, as depicted on the attached Site, Grading, Drainage,
Erosion Control,and Stormwater Management Plan, is accurate. A Jurisdictional Determination
request has been submitted to the USACE, for a verification of SEGis delineation. Unfortunately, it
is not anticipated that the USACE will be able to complete the request in a feasible amount of time.
Therefore,the Applicant respectfully requests the DEMLR condition the permit to prohibit
excavation of the mine pit that falls within 100 linear feet of the surveyed wetland line, until such
time the DEMLR has received a valid USACE Jurisdictional Determination.
5. The following was discussed and agreed to with NCDOT:
Three(3) piezometers will be installed in accordance with our previous submittal. Measurements will
be obtained and provided to your office and Dr. Kim establishing the baseline groundwater elevation.
Upon issuance of a NCDENR Mining Permit the sand pit will be dub in three(3)cuts. The first cut
to a depth of approximately 12', the second cut to a depth of approximately 20' and the third cut to a
depth of approximately 30'. Piezometer measurements will be obtained and provided establishing the

stabilized groundwater elevation at the bottom of each cut. We will provide sufficient readings to
determine when the groundwater table elevation stabilizes at the bottom of each cut.
6. The haul road route has been revised and we no longer propose using any existing roadway.
Please review for approval and contact us with any questions, comments or if you need additional
information. ThanR you.
Sincerely,
Tr' p ng'nee ' g,P.C.

Ben,
The owner, contractor, soils consultant and our office had a phone conversation earlier this morning with Dr.
Kim to discuss a piezometer measuring schedule.We described the excavation process and estimated
timetables.
Based on our conversation we will provide the following:
Three piezometers will be installed in accordance with our previous submittal. Measurements will be obtained
and provided to your office and Dr. Kim establishing the baseline groundwater elevation.
Upon issuance of a NCDENR Mining Permit the sand pit will be dug in three (3) cuts. The first cut to a depth of
approximately 12', the second cut to a depth of approximately 20' and the third cut to a depth of approximately
1

30'. Piezometer measurem0will be obtained and provided establishing a stabilized groundwater elevation
at the bottom of each cut.
We will provide sufficient readings to determine when the groundwater table elevation stabilizes at the bottom
of each cut.
Please contact us with questions, comments or if you need additional information.
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Law:
Thank you for your letter dated November 25, 2014 expressing your concerns regarding
the proposed Alligator Branch Mine in Brunswick County.
Your concerns certainly deserve evaluation. Before a decision is made to grant or deny.
the mining permit, concerns within the jurisdiction of NCGS 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971
must be addressed. During the application review, site inspections will be made and
comments will be solicited from other agencies regarding the potential impacts to wildlife, air
and water quality and groundwater.
Please note, however, that zoning concerns, such as truck traffic, noise and property
values, are not within the jurisdiction of The Mining Act and are more appropriately addressed
through the local government. The Mining Act of 1971 may be downloaded by going to
http://gortal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/mini
We will be requiring Salisbury Partners LLC to conduct a hydrogeoologic analysis of the
impacts from the proposed dewatering activities and use ground penetrating radar to detect
voids in the highway and highway right of way within the draw down area.
Again, thank you for your letter. Your comments will be incorporated into our review. If
you have any additional questions, please contact me at [phone].

Subject: New Surface Mining permit, Salisbury Partners, LLC— Brunswick County
As adjoining land owner to the proposed sand mine located in Brunswick County the North
Carolina Department of Transportation has the following comments provided by Kyung Kim,
Ph.D, P.E. of our Geotechnical Engineering Unit.
The proposed sand mine is immediately adjacent to the newly constructed 1-140 roadway.
1. Dewatering of the pit excavation may lower the groundwater elevation in the vicinity
of the highway, which may cause subsidence of the highway embankment. The
effect of pit excavation and dewatering on the groundwater should be investigated,
and the risk of ground subsidence should be evaluated.
2. The proposed pit excavation with a combination of 2:1 (below water) and 3:1 (above
water) slopes may not be stable. Slope stability analysis should be performed to
address this issue.
If you have any questions or require additional information I can be contacted at 910-251-

RE: New surface mining permit for Salisbury Partners,LLC titled Alligator Branch Sand Pit in Leland,North
Carolina
Dear Mr.Tripp and the Division of Land Resources:
On November 11,2014 AMS Ventures received a notice of permit application and a map for a new surface mine on
land belonging to Salisbury Partners, LLC. This tract adjoins a 100 acre parcel owned by AMS Ventures, LLC.
AMS Ventures has an existing road on the north side of its tract. This road is completely within AMS Ventures'
property lines. The map attached to the mining application notice prepared by Tripp Engineering, P.C.shows this
existing road as the access road to be used for hauling sand and equipment in and out of the mine.
Salisbury Partners, LLC has no easement of any kind on this road belonging to AMS Ventures, LLC and has no
right to use this road in any way.
AMS Ventures, LLC requests that its road and the wording,45' private access easement, be removed from the map
prepared by Tripp Engineering. We also request that our road not be considered as the haul road for the proposed
sand mine.
If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call me.

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 is 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,

SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Application Request for:
Salisbury Partners, LLC
Alligator Branch Sand Pit
Brunswick County
Please find attached a copy of the raining permit application request for the above referenced
project.
The Alligator Branch Sand Pit located in Brunswick County does appear to have an unduly adverse
effect on ground water supplies. The mine will need to register their water withdrawals if their
withdrawals are over 100,000 gpd. The registration information may be obtained from the
www.ncwater.orrr website under the Topics tab.
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 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 11 for the previous year.
If you have further questions please contact the Division of Water Resources at(919) 707-9000 or
send correspondence to 1611 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-1611.
