RE: Mining Permit No. 42-01
Its Mine
Halifax County
Dear Nash Brick Company:
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
$501month 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 $50D,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(919) 707-9220.

Dear Mr. Wyers:
The review has been completed on the renewal request your company submitted for the
referenced mine site. However, the following is needed to continue processing your
application:
The reclamation bond calculation worksheet submitted with the renewal request has
been verified. The reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be $311,700,00. The
calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the bond or balance ($98,500.00) will be
required prior to approval of this renewal.
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, i.e., Nash Brick Company. In addition to one of these alternatives, you
may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that the renewal request cannot be completed until the new bond
amount has been received.
As required by G.S. 74-51 (h), you are hereby advised that you have 60 days from the
date of your receipt of this letter to submit the reclamation bond. If you are unable to meet this
deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit information, in writing, to the
Director clearly indicating why the deadline cannot be met and request that an extension of
time be granted.

Re: lta Mine Permit Renewal Supplement
Permit No. 42-01
Halifax County
Tar River Basin
Dear Mr. Wyers:
The following in chronological order, address the concerns noted in the letter dated May
28, 2014 by the Land Quality Section and Division of Water Resources. The submitted
mine maps reflect modifications to address these concerns.
1. Sheet 1 of 3 has been modified showing the surrounding property lines and
adjacent property owners, the surface water sampling points and their numbers.
and the natural gas right-of-way and appropriate buffers.
2. & 3. The Sheets I of- 3 and 3 of 3 have been modified to reflect ditches, perennial
streams and intermittent streams. The intermittent and perennial stream locations
are based on the USGS Essex Quadrangle Mal) and the 2006 USDA Halifax Soil
Survey Map (see Attached Figures 1 and 2), which should satisfy the delineation
of the streams.
However, the facility has been in operation for more than 60 years and several of
the streams noted on the Soil Survey Map were created by Mining Activities and
are' still utilized for stormwater conveyance. The intermittent stream associated
with Basin 3 will need to be addressed before installation of this basin and mining
in this area. Also, the stream upslope of Basin No. l will need to be field verified
prior to any additional disturbance. Notes on Sheet 1 of 3 provide requirements
for the field verification of these streams.

Land disturbance activities in the area of Basins 1 and 2 had occurred prior to
1998 and activities in the area of Basin 4 had occurred prior to 1992. These
distance activities were conducted prior to the Tar/Pamilico River Basin buffer
requirements.
Basin No. 5 was originally constructed prior to 1978. The disturbed area upslope
of this basin was permitted in 2005, and the permitting considered the
Tar/Pamilico River Basin buffer requirements. v
4. The Contaminated Soils Permit No. WQ0005131 should be removed from the
Mine Permit with the Permit Nos. SR0500073 and SR-PRS-003 should be added.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this letter.

Below are Thad's comments on the pending application. His observations appear to be in line with Danny's report sent
today(attached). I had reviewed the proposed renewal maps as well, and while no offsite sediment issues or specific
operation changes are indicated, I recommend that we have the operator address the riparian buffer issues and update
the maps accordingly before we proceed with renewal. Please prepare our coordinated response to Judy for the record.

I inspected the Ida Mine yesterday and I have these few comments,
1. The 100 year flood plan is not shown
2. The surrounding property owners have not been identified on the plans
3. The sample point locations are not shown nor have they been numbered
4. The biggest issue I see is there is a buffered stream that runs through the property that is not shown on the
map.There are two crossings,one by culvert and the other is by driving through a low area.This at the very
least should be shown on the map and should probably be assessed by DWR
Overall the site looks good with no sediment loss due to large holding areas before the basins and heavy vegetation.
There is one area at the end of the access road just before entering the Middle Pit where the road berm was removed or
washed out that needs to he filled in the dirt or a rock filter.The Mine Manager (Jeff Wyers) indicated that the mine has
been shut down for some time and the pits area locked out due to MISHA rules which would prevent them from making
that repair until the mine is reopened. Let me know if you need any further info

Subject: Ida Mine Renewal Inspection
John
I inspected the Ida Mine yesterday and I have these few comments,
The 100 year flood plan is not shown
The surrounding property owners have not been identified on the plans
The sample point locations are not shown nor have they been numbered
4. The biggest issue I see is there is a buffered stream that runs through the property that is not shown on the
map.There are two crossings, one by culvert and the other is by driving through a low area.This at the very
least should be shown on the map and should probably he assessed by DWR
Overall the site looks good with no sediment loss due to large holding areas before the basins and heavy vegetation.
There is one area at the end of the access road just before entering the Middle Pit where the road berm was removed or
washed out that needs to be filled in the dirt or a rock filter.The Mine Manager (Jeff Wyers) indicated that the mine has
been shut down for some time and the pits area locked out due to MISHA rules which would prevent them from making
that repair until the mine is reopened. Let me know if you need any further info

The ita Mine, located in Halifax County, does not appear to have an unduly adverse cf fect on
ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to
begin pumping water from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Water Resources
would like to be contacted so that it may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground
water supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register
their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22E-1.
This statue requires any non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more to any
one day of ground water or surface water to register and update withdrawals. ']'his 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 1 for the previous year.

As I mentioned to you in my phone message today, the following are our
comments on this site:
The proposed S&E measures appear satisfactory. Pat has provided
calculations that demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed brickbat dams
with respect to structural as well as hydraulic stability. The existing
devices have always provided sufficient sediment containment for the
affected areas, and will provide additional back-up protection for this
site. The permanent drainage system also appears adequate. DWQ and DAQ
have not noted any problems either (I am faxing their comments to you) .
I would recommend approval with the provision that they obtain any solid
waste permits that may be required for their proposed LCID landfill.
If there are further questions, please advise.

RE Erosion Control Evaluation
Ita Mine
Permit No. 42-01
Halifax County, NC
Dear Mr. Bowden:
Following is a general discussion of the mining project and erosion control evaluation for
the proposed Ita Mine modification. The conclusions of this evaluation are reflected on
the prepared mine map.
GENERAL PROJECT DISCUSSION
The Ita Mine is located south of the intersection of SR-1338 and SR-1339 (Figure 1,
Attachment A). A few modificati0 s'� plant area are proposed, which include the
addition of a new clay storage bu nim as neew crvployce break room, and a new septic
tank and lateral field system. Al a, a 1.94 acre Lnd Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID)
Landfill is proposed within a previ sly mined
The proposed buildings area located in existing impervious plant areas and no increase in
plant area is anticipated. ' The proposed LCID Landfill is located within the 10-year limits
of disturbance for this mine and no increase in mine bond amount is required.
EROSION CONTROL EVALUATION
The SCS TR-55 Method was used to calculate the 2-year, 10-year and 25-year peak flow
rates. Attachment 13 contains the calculations.
Surface areas for Basin No's 6 and 7 were sized for the 10-year rain event The outlet for
the basins will be composed of brickbat. The brick outlet for the sediment basins had the
crest length determined based on a water depth above the crest of 3 inches. Stability

T - •1
analyses for scour of brick (incipient motion of brick particles) was determined for the
4: 1 (H:V) down slope section of the brick. These analyses (assuming no more than 3
inches of water overtopping the crest) indicated that a suitable factor of safety against
brick scour is 3.9. Stability of the down slope brick section was also evaluated for failure
caused by seepage forces (steady state seepage) through brick structures. The analysis
indicates a suitable 3.7 factor of safety against steady state seepage slope instability.
The upslope proposed ditch will have an invert slope of 0.015 ft/ft along the west
perimeter of the proposed LC1D Landfill (Ditch No. 1) and a slope of up to 0.17 ft/ft
along the south limits of the landfill (Ditch No. 2).
Ditch No. I will need netting and straw for initial stabilization based on the 2-year rain
event. The water velocity iwthe ditch is sufficiently low for grassed line ditches based on
the 10-year rain event. Also, the ditch has been sized for the 25-year rain event. Ditch
114 2 will require ClCljj " Erosion- i %-VllI lill ill bajcU Vi! U1 IV-yedi rdlil eVUR. 'i11U
ditch has also been sized to pass the 25-year rain event.

BRICKBAT OUTLET STABILITY
The stability evaluation of the brickbat sections is based on the following:
I. Stability of the dam to resist scour due to overflow
2. Stability of the dam against steady-state seepage.
Evaluation of the brick check dams to resist scour due to overflow will be the most
probable on the downstream slope, where the highest velocities can be expected on the
4:1 (11-.V) slope. Compare allowable velocity and depth against natural velocity and
depth. The factor of safety against scour can be determined ,�cina the .,.,,..,a •�e do b-ed

RE: Mine Pen-nit Modification 1`
Ita Mine
Permit No. 42-01
Halifax County, NC
General Project Information
The Ita Mine (Mine permit No. 42-01) is located near the intersection of SR-1338 and
SIZ-1339 and covers approximately 490 acres of land. Of this acreage, approximately
80.78 acres can be disturbed within the next 10 years.
Modification to this mine includes the addition of 10.5 acres of land for mining. This
proposed mine area is located partially in an area that had been mined in the past that had
been subsequently reclaimed. An existing sediment basin (Basin No.5) for this area will
be reactivated with some modifications or reconstruction of the outlet structure required.
Mining will'extend below the groundwater at the mines. Excavation will initially extend
to the water table, and once this is reached, excavation will continue to about 22 ft below
the water table. The .excavation will be conducted in a series of pits with-excavation
conducted in each pit as long as possible before significant water accumulation occurs.
Upon completion of mining, the perforated riser pipe for the basin will be replaced with a
solid pipe. Berms will be leveled and graded for positive drainage.
Erosion Control Evaluation

pipe and 30 inch diameter riser pipe (See attached calculations).

We have reviewed the subject renewal application and find it to be
acceptable from a sediment and erosion control standpoint. The
proposed
basins appear adequate to meet our current requirements. DAQ
indicates
no outstanding compliance issues, and DWQ should not have any
issues
beyond the general permitting since we are satisfied with the
current
BMP' s in place and proposed for the mine. I will let you know
tomorrow
if DWQ expresses any concerns. If there are any questions, please

we have reviewed the subject renewal application and find it to be
acceptable from a sediment and erosion control standpoint. The
proposed
basins appear adequate to meet our current requirements. DAQ
indicates
no outstanding compliance .issues, and DwQ should not have any
issues
beyond the general permitting since we are satisfied with the
current
BMP' s in place and proposed for the mine. I will let you know
tomorrow
if DWQ expresses any concerns . If there are any questions, please
advise. I

DATE: April 29, 2004
SUBJECT: Mining Permit renewal for Nash Brick Company, Ila Mine, Halifax County, North
Carolina
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission)reviewed this
permit application with regard to impacts of the mine on fish and wildlife resources, Our comments are
provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Sen. 401,as amended; 16
U.S.0 661-667d), Section 40l(b)of the Clean Water Act of 1977(as amended),and the North Carolina Mining
Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-76 et.seq., 15 NCAC 5)-
The applicant is requesting to renew Mining Permit No. 42-01.The clay mining operation is
located near the intersection ofSR 1338 and SR 1339 in Halifax County. 80.78 acres of the 490 permitted
acres can be mined within the next 10 years.
The Commission is pleased that the applicant plans to reclaim the mine as a lake for fishing and
waterfowl habitat. Information regarding establishment and management of fish ponds can be accessed at
htlp'/hrvvw uns ldlifcoru/pg03 F'sl ' /' ¢ s/PONDMANS PDF. To benefit wildlife, the Commission
recommends year-round planting of kobe or Korean lespeden, winter-time planting of rye or:vbea: _^A
summer-time planting ofmillet or sorghum. These plants provide erasion control and forage and cover for
a variety of wildlife unlit native grasses can become established. Seed types including bahia and Bermuda
grass provide limited benefits to wildlife, and maybe highly invasive and inhibit eventual establishment of
native grasses. To provide adequate shallow water for aquatic vegetation growth, the pit slope of 3 to 1
should extend to a water depth infat least 4 feet. Further technical assistance regarding managing fish and
wildlife on private lands can be found at hiloWnivw.newildlifc and or solicited directly from Commission
Biologist William Edwards at [phone].
The Commission appreciates the opportun ity to review th is permit application. If you need further
information on these comments,please contact Maria Tripp at(252)946-6481 extension 345.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
Mining will continue at its existing locations and in the new areas that were permitted under a recent
modification request in 1999.
2. Describe specific erosion control measured to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent off-site sedimentation(include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine
excavation", waste pines, accessimine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of
installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion
control measures on the mine maps) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations shall be required when needed to justify the adequacy of
any proposed measures.
Erosion control consists of four sediment basins. Basins l and 2 consist of riser barrel type systems
although for Basin No. 2, a brick check dam is provided. Basin 4 consists of a rock check dam. Basin 3
has not been constructed at this time, but will consist of a brickbat check dam.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined,recycling process water,or other waste water
handling'? Yes No X . If yes,briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh water from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the
waters of the State? Yes No X. If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and
locate all proposed discharge points along with their method ofstab ilizat ion)on your mine map(S).

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table? Yes X No_. If
yes,what impact, if any,will rnine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Estimate withdrawal rate
in gallons per day: <] 00,000. Locate all existing wells on the mine nzap(v)that lie within SOO feet of
the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statements made including
any monitoring well data, well construction data and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate
whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
Private wells provide the water supply for the various businesses and residencies in the area.
Excavation below the water table should not impact these wells. No groundwater is removed from
the excavation. The excavation will be conducted below the water table by a series of pits with
excavatinn ennrj>>rteri in Parh nit ac Inna nc nnccih1P hPfnre 6ornif;�rnnt;rater.`..d mir nInt.nn aecurs
t,.. ..b �....,...... ., b..
c. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality pem-iit(s)(i.e.,non-discharge,NPDES,Stormwater,etc.) from
the Division of water Quality, water Quality Section. in addition, the applicant is required to
register water use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than
100,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use pen-nit from the Division of Water Resources if the
operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
This permit has two storm water permits, one for the Ita Mine Plant (NCG070080) and the former
Powells Creek Mine (NCG020337). Since 1999 Nash Brick has had correspondence with the
Stormwater Unit,to combine the two permits. However, this situation has not been resolved at this
time.
The Nash Brick Facility also has two non-discharge permits for the treatment of petroleum
contaminated soils (Permit Nos. SR050073 And SR-RRO-003).
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
Yes X No . if yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality
permit issued by the Division of Air Quality, or local governing body.
Nash Brick has an air permit for this facility (Permit No. 5128R12)
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled
Stockpiles generally are not a problem concerning dusting. The natural moisture content in the soil
in addition to compacting the material under equipment wheel loads has prevented dusting. For the
haul roads the exposed ground will be wetted as necessary to minimize dusting.
-7-

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
5. a. A buffer will be required between any mining permit boundary or right-of-way. It may be an
unexcavated buffer (no excavation, out roadways, berms and erosion & sedimentation control
measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance within the buffer
whatsoever), or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions. Note that all buffers
must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary
or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended,although a wider buffer
may be needed depending on site conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine

RE: Mine Permit Renewal
Ita Mille
Permit No. 42-01
Halifax County, NC
General Project Information
The Itu Mine (Mine permit No. 42-01) is located near the intersection of SR-1338 and
SR-1339 and covers approximately 490 acres of land. (Figure 1) Of this acreage,
approximately S0.79 acres can be disturbed within the next 10 years.
Sediment Basin Nos. I and 2 consist of riser barrel type systems although at Basin No. 2,
a brick check darn is provided at the front of the basin, Sediment Basin Nos. 3 and 4
where originally designed as rock check dams that were designed to pass the 10-yeat rain
event. Basin No. 4 has been installed with mining conducted upslope. The basins have
been re-evaluated I'6r sediment storage, basin surface area requirements, and the ability to
pass the 25-year rain event. For Basin No. 4, the storage available behind the stone
Section is SLIMCMIL to StOl-C the I 0-year rain event. Also, the required 25-year outlet peak
flow rate can be handled by the existing structure. Basin No. 3 was redesigned using
brickbat as the COIlStrUCti011 material for the Outlet. This basin was also designed to store
the 10-year rain even and pass the 25-year rain event.
Mining will extend below the groundwater at the mines. Excavation will initially extend
to the water table, and once this is reached, excavation will continue to about. 22 ft below
the water table. The excavation will be conducted in a series of pits with excavation
conducted in each pit as long as possible before significant water accumulation occurs.

of petroleum contaminated soils. The materials are contained within a 4 ± acre bermed
area. A well compacted clay liner underlies the area.

Upon completion of mining, the perforated riser pipes at Basin Nos. I and 2 will be
replaced with a solid corrugated pipe to form lakes. The new outlet system can pass the
100-year rain event. Check dams, berms and stockpiles will be leveled and graded for
positive drainage. The buildings will remain in place for future commercial sale.
Erosion Control Evaluation
The SCS TR-55 Method was used to calculate the 10-year and 25-year peak flow rates
and required 25-year peak outflow rate for various storage volumes. For calculation
purposes, the "C" hydrologic soil type was used for these calculations, with the
predominant soils consisting of Herndon (B), Tatum (C), and State (B). (Figure 2)
The evaluation was conducted for only Basin No. 3 and 4 which were not evaluated to
pass the 25-year rain event. Basin No. 3 was redesigned based on the new calculations.
Basin No. 4 which has been constructed has sufficient size and capacity.
Closure
We appreciate serving Nash Brick Company on the Ita Mine Renewal. Please contact us
if you have any questions.
