Mining Permit No. 92-02
Wake County
Neuse River Basin
Dear Mr. Garvey:
We have reviewed 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 additional or revised information in accordance with the following comments:
1. The proposed entrance road, as shown on the modification maps dated August 2020, will not be approved
as drawn. Please determine a suitable location for the proposed entrance road that does not impact the
permitted undisturbed buffer and visual screening berm.
2. Sediment Trap A-2 and the visual screening berm in the same vicinity appear to impact the eastern most
end of"Stream 1"as depicted on the US Army Corps of Engineering Jurisdictional Delineation. The
DWR buffer determination letter 19-249 submitted along with the package was for streams and pond
located on the property approximately 4,500 feet south of"Stream I". Please clarify how impact to
"Stream 1"will be mitigated.
3. Provide a plan detail and construction specifications for the silt fence and silt fence outlet that complies
with the skirt trench requirements per the Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual.
The skirt is to be trenched in,at a minimum, 8 inches vertically and 4 inches horizontally.
4. A gas line is located in the area of the new driveway. Actual location should be determined,and any
easements obtained from the utility.
5. A DOT encroachment is needed for a new entrance.
Please note, this office may request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application
review progresses. Be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed above have been
fully addressed.
