RE: Permit Modification—Permit Area Increase
Mine Permit No.53-26,Sanford Quarry,Lee County
Dear Mr.Parr,
The purpose of this modification is to include a new access road location into the future facility. The originally approved
corridor was determined to not be ideal due to difficulties in crossing Upper Little River. The location being requested
for insertion into our permit with this amendment significantly reduces wetland and stream impacts while also yielding a
much smaller bridge structure. Luck Stone has decided to keep the currently approved corridor for potential utility use.
This amendment includes no other operational changes necessary for review. If you have any questions and/or
comments,please contact me at 804-514-8670.
Sincerely,
Brian Parker
