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.
The project will begin with removing the top layer of soil from Pits#1 and#2.The dirt will be used to create a berm along the
front of the property,which will block the mine from public view,and around Pit#1,which will increase the pit's water storage
capacity.Once this has been completed,excavation of sand will begin in Pit#1 and will continue until until hitting ground
water,at which time excavation of Pit#2 will begin.Water from Pit#2 will be pumped to Pit#1 and will only take place when
2'of free board can be maintained in receiving pit The Applicant intends to pump less than 9000 gallons of water per day,
from pit to pit.Water will not be pumped off-site and,by pumping from pit to pit,the pumping is not anticipated to affect the
water table,as it will be recharged though infiltration.The stockpile area will be used for temporary storage of broken up
concrete and rock,until it can be sold.Crushing is not necessary and the concrete will be free of rebar.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during mining to
prevent offsite sedimentation(include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine excavation(s), waste
piles, access/mine 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 map(s)and
provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required
to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
Erosion control will entail installing a construction entrance and putting up silt
fence around the limits of disturbance where there is the potential for sediment
to discharge outside the limits of disturbance. The measures will be checked on
a weekly basis and after each rain even that produces more than 1" within a 24
hour period.
3. A)Will the operation involve washing the material mined,recycling process water,or other wastewater handling?
YES FX
If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
NA
B)Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters
of the State?FI YES FX
If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate all proposed discharge points(along with their method of
stabilization)on the mine map(s).

D)If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or obtained the
appropriate water quality permit(s)(i.e., non-discharge, NPDES,Stormwater,etc.)from the Stormwater Program. In
addition,the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of Water Resources,Ground Water
Management Branch, if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit
from the Division of Water Resources,Ground Water Management Branch, if the operation lies in a capacity use area
and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
NA
4. A)Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?

5. A)A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way. It may be an
unexcavated buffer(no excavation, but 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 map(s).
A 50' wide unexcavated buffer will remain throughout the duration of the mining
permit.
B)A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities within the mining
permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller undisturbed buffers can be justified.
Depending on site conditions,a buffer wider than 50 feet may be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the mining permit
boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site?Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
There are no wetlands or surface waters within or adjacent to the project limits.
6. A)Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries during mining.
Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or
flatter for sandy material are generally required unless technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
The land is relatively flat, and there will be a 50', undisturbed vegetated buffer,
on the north, east and west sides, between the excavated pit area and the
adjoining property lines. Silt fence will keep sediment inside the limits of
disturbance, and no slopes are proposed outside the pit area. Please see the
attached Mining Plan.
B)Provide a cross-section on the mine map(s)for all fill slopes(berms, waste piles,overburden disposal areas, etc.),
clearly indicating the intended side slope gradient,installation of any benches and/or slope drains(with supporting
design information)if needed, and the method of final stabilization.

indicated on the mine map(s).
An earthen, vegetated berm will be used to prevent inadvertent public access
from NC Highway 72. The berm will be 4' to 6' high, with no more than 3:1
