RE: Rose Creek Mine
Mining Permit No. 57-10
Macon County
Little Tennessee River Basin
Dear Mr. Price:
Your application for a transfer of the above referenced mining permit,has been approved but the transferred permit
shall not be issued until the Department has received the required bond or security pursuant to N.C.G.S. §74-51(h)
in an amount sufficient to cover the present operation.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted in the application (see
enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is $3,200.00. The calculation worksheet is enclosed for your
review and the new bond will be 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 permit,i.e., Sean M.Price. In addition to one
of these alternatives you may,upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the reclamation bond worksheet and contact this office should you have any objections or questions
concerning the permit conditions. N.C.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. N.C.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.
Again, if you should have any questions on this matter please contact me, at(919)707-9220.
Sincerely,
Adam Parr,PE �—
State Mining Engineer
