RE: Mining Permit No. 65-15
A L Sobol Mine
New Hanover County
Dear Arnold L. Sobol:
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 [phone].

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 the 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.

A.L. Sobol Pit
New Hanover County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
"The A.L. Sobel Pit located in New Hanover County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect
on ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the mine starts to
withdraw 100,000 gallons per day of water, they will need to re ig ster their water withdrawals with the
Division of Water Resources on an annual basis. The registration form may be obtained from the
following link:
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. 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.
I f 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: Permit No. 65-15
A L Sobol Mine
New Hanover County
Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Mr. Sobol:
According to our records, the mining permit for the above referenced mine will expire on March
8, 2005.
GS 74-52 provides that the permit may be renewed at any time during the two years prior to its
expiration. The procedure to be followed and standards to be applied in renewing a permit shall
be the same as those for issuing a permit.
To apply for permit renewal, you must complete Item Nos. 1-5 of the enclosed Renewal of
Mining Permit Checklist (revised 1 1/2001). Also enclosed is one copy of the mining permit
application form for your use. Please be sure to indicate any changes in the mining and/or
reclamation plan. Four (4) copies of all requested information must be forwarded to the Land
Quality Section's Central Office at the address located on the cover of the application form. All
permits for unreclaimed sites should be renewed. If it is your intent to reclaim and release this
site, the renewal will not be necessary. If this is the case, no further mining should be conducted
and reclamation should begin immediately. It is further requested that you notify this office in
writing of your intent to reclaim and release the site.
It is recommended that you submit the above information for renewal of your mining permit at
least 90 days prior to the permit's expiration date in order to allow the Department enough time to
complete its review of your request before the permit expires. If you allow the permit to expire
before submitting a request for renewal as per the above Checklist, you must immediately cease
mining on and after the expiration date and complete reclamation of the site. Mining without a
permit is subject to a S5,000 per day civil penalty. After the expiration date, approval ofa new
mining permit application will be required before mining may continue.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Re: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
A.L. Sobol Mine
Permit Number 65-15
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Sobol:
On February 12, 1998, an inspection of the subject mine was performed by personnel from this
office. As listed in the enclosed inspection report you have already received, several deficiencies were
observed that require your prompt attention.
The deficiencies discovered and the necessary corrective actions are as follows:
Operating Condition #8:Existing vegetation or vegetated earthen berms shall be maintained between
the mine and public thoroughfare wherever practical to screen the operation from the public. Vegetation has
been removed along both the east and west sides of the mine and has greatly reduced the amount of visual
screening along US Hwy 421 and the residential area along the west side of the mine.
Operating Condition# 10: A physical barrier consisting of a fence, berm etc....shall be maintained
around the parameter of any highwall. The highwall along the west side of the mine adjacent to the
residential area, has not been adequately barricaded.
If the previously described deficiencies are not corrected within 30 days following your receipt of this Notice,
this matter will be referred to the Director of the Division of Land Resources, Department of Environment,
Health and Natural Resources , for the issuance of an official Notice of Violation in an effort to secure
compliance at the site.
Do no hesitate to contact Carol Miller or me at [phone] regarding any questions you may
have about this matter.
Sincerely,

Attn: Dan Sams
Dear Dan,
We transmit herewith a package containing the information we
believe is necessary for the modification of existing mining
permit 8 65-15, in New Hanover County NC.
Dr. Arnold Sobol owns a tract containing 28 . 9 acres on the
West side of the Carolina Beach Road and South of Manassas
Drive. The referenced mining permit has been issued to Dr.
Sobol and my understanding is allows him to excavate sand in
a area 160 feet by 165 feet. This modification request is to
now include the total tract.
Dr. Sobole intention is to grade the entire site, according
to the attached erosion control plan, to an olovation
compatible with the existing highway elevations, for use as a
commercial development in the future. The excavated material
will be sold as "borrow", and removed from the site.
The excavation may take place with front end loaders and
trucks or by the use of excavators and trucks.
An Erosion Control Plan has been submitted to New Hanover
County. No impervious surfaces are planned for the borrow
pit. No storm water is expected to leave the bounds of the
property. During the course of excavation the excavators may
dig lower than the present water table. If this is done then
the excavation will be refilled as no water bodies are
Planned to be left on the site as a result of the borrow
operation.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and if
additional is needed please call .

incorporated as part of this permit, provisions must be made for

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 .. .

Dear Dr. Sobol :
The review has been completed on the renewal application you
submitted for the above referenced mine site. The following
additional information is needed to continue our review.
The reclamation bond was calculated for this site using the
information submitted on the Mine Map received by the Land Quality
Section on December 9, 1994 . The reclamation bond for this site
has been calculated to be $3 , 700 . 00 . The calculation worksheet is
attached for your review and the required bond or appropriate
balance ( $1 , 200.00) will be required prior to approval of this
renewal. Failure to submit the required bond may result in your
mining permit being revoked. If so, your mine site will be
required to be completely reclaimed immediately.
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. In addition to one of these
alternatives, you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT OUR REVIEW CANNOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL
ALL OF THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE HAVE BEEN FULLY ADDRESSED.

Re : A. L. Sobol Mine
Mining Permit No. 65-15 V
New Hanover County 09 19g4
D Dear Mr. Sample : ay
Thank you for your letter of November 99 .
The following information is provided as per your
request :
1 . , 2 . There seems to be a misunderstanding as to
the requested size of the mining area .
The original site was 34. 5 +, acres:.
Aproximately 4 . 88 acres of the original
site were sold to Norma Goatcher in 1993 .
Mrs. Goatcher has since leased/sold/optioned
the 4 . 88 acres to James Martin dba Martin ' s
Self Storage. The address is 6020 Carolina
Beach Road, Wilmington, N.C. , 28412; phone
910-452-5666 . Hence the remaining site
is approximately 29 . 2+ acres:
In as much as the frontage is on a well traveled
road (US 421 ) it was my feeling that mining
( surface sand) would be taken from the western
area where the topographical map denotes
heights in excess of 45 feet . This total
area is less than twenty acres , however,
twenty acres was used to denote the remaining
site for future mining as permitted .
3 . The twenty-five foot buffer is donoted on the
enclosed map as requested .

2
4. Mining will not take place adjacent to
US 421 due to the topography . There
seems to be adequate screening at present .
due to 'long leaf pine and scrub oak. Any
excavation would not be easily visible from
US 421 .
As requested , I am forwarding two copies of the requested
information and two additional maps with ; the zones more
clearly defined that in the original .
Also enclosed is a. copy of the Mine , Inspection Report
. dated October 24, 1994.
If any further information is required , please do not
hesitate to notify me.
Very truly y urs,
v V

Re: Mining Permit Renewal Request for Dr. Arnold L. Sobol
A. L. Sobol Mine - Permit No. 65-15
New Hanover County
Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit renewal
application for the above referenced project.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this
operation having unduly adverse effect on wildlife and freshwater fisheries
(G. S. 74-51 (2) ) . Please respond by October 28 , 1994 so that we may
complete our review of this request within our statutory time limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications, renewals
and modifications, this office will carefully review all proposed erosion and
sediment control measures to ensure that they are sufficient to restrain
erosion and off-site sedimentation. However, any comments your agency can
provide regarding effects on wildlife and freshwater fisheries would be
greatly appreciated. If your staff wishes to perform a site inspection, it
is recommended that they contact the person submitting this request to set up
a convenient date and time. Also, please send a copy of your comments to the
person noted in the application. RETURN ALL APPLICATION MATERIALS AND MAPS

Re: A. L. Sobol Mine 65-15 , Renewal Application
An inspection of the referenced mine was made on 10/24/94 . Up
until last year no mining had taken place. To date, only a small
amount of sand has been excavated for fill material on an adjoining
property (Martin Storage Facility) .
The mine map provided does not clearly define the mine boundaries
and affected areas. There is also some question as to whether or
not visual screening is necessary along U.S . Hwy 421. If the
effected area extends this far, then the existing berm/fire break
will not be an adequate screen since the berm is lower than the
highway shoulder.
Another issue which may or may not be a problem from the Division' s
standpoint, is that regarding excessive use by all terrain vehicle
within the permitted boundaries of the mine (or what appears to be
the boundaries) . There has been so much A.T.V. activity in the
area that significant land disturbance has resulted. While erosion
does not appear to be a problem, destruction of a rather fragile
root mat has occurred and the long term effects may have some
potential for environmental impact .

Dear Mr. Sobol :
In recent review of our files it was noted that your mining permit for the

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please advise

RE: A. L. Sobol Mine - New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Sobol:
The application for a mining permit for A. L. Sobol Mine in New Hanover
County has been found to meet the requirements of1G.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.
I
The conditions of the mining permit were based primarily upon
information supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to
insure compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. G. S. 74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supercede local zoning regulations. The
responsibility of compliance with the applicable zoning regulations lies with
you.
Please review the permit and notify this office of any objection or
question concerning the terms of the permit.
Sincerely,

FROM: David Brook, Deputy State �DA
Historic Preservation Officer
SUBJECT: Application for Mining Permit
A. L. Sobol Mine , A. L. Sobel Company,
New Hanover County, ER 87-7512
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.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions
concerning the above comments, please contact Ms. Renee Gledhill-Earley,
Environmental Review Coordinator, at 919/733-4763.

Re: A. L. Sobel Pit - New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Sobol:
Your application for a mining permit for Sobol Pit in New Hanover County
has been reviewed. 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 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 Two Thousand
and Five Hundred Dollar ($2,500.00) surety. For your convenience, I have
enclosed a bond form and an assignment of a savings account form. 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.
Please advise if you should have any questions concerning this matter.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. Carroll
