To Whom It May Concern,
Please find enclosed an application for a Mining Permit and documentation as described below for
your review and approval:
• One original and five copies of the Application for a Mining Permit
• Six copies of the Mine Site Plan & Reclamation Plans
• Six copies of the supporting calculations
• Six copies of the Topo Map
• Six copies of the County Map
• One copy of the Mining Permit Application Notice for each adjacent landowner and the
corresponding Certified Mail Receipts
• Application fee of$5000.00
• One copy of the Notification of Jurisdictional Determination
• One copy of the NCG02—NOI application
The purpose of this project is to mine sand for use in construction projects. Entrance to the mining
area is by an existing soil road off of SR 1727 (Blanchard Road). A temporary Construction
Entrance/Exit will be provided and maintained at this entrance for the life of the mine. A
dewatering basin will be constructed when needed. Water from the mine will be pumped to the
dewatering basin and released at non-erosive rates to an existing ditch on the property.
Mining notices to adjacent landowners were mailed on July 19, 2021. Return receipts can be
emailed or mailed upon receipt.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me.
