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.
Overburden material and sap rock present above the hard rock will be removed. The rock is
drilled and blasted to produce a product that can be transported to the plant for processing.
From there, the raw material is crushed and screened to produce desired products. A
construction sequence of land disturbing activities is provided on the Mine Map, specifically as it
relates to sediment and erosion control. Maintenance and stabilization efforts will be conducted
as noted and as required in the mining act.
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.
Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed in accordance with the Mine Map and
construction details. These measures will be installed prior to disturbing the area they are
designed to protect. The construction sequence indicates the steps that will be taken to maintain
all of the sediment and erosion control measures. Temporary diversions are provided to direct
all surface runoff through the sediment basins. Design calculations are provided on the Mine
Map to support the dimensions and construction of the proposed sediment basins. The majority
of runoff from the property will be maintained internally, either from the pit or the existing
sediment basins.
3. A)Will the operation involve washing the material mined,recycling process water,or other wastewater handling?
IAIYES FINO
If yes,briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
Process wash water from material washing is treated through a recycling system within the
settling cells. The system is further described in the General NPDES permit issued to the mining
industry and specifically, NPDES Permit#NCG020044 for this facility.
B)Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters
of the State?
FX-1YES F]NO
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).
Water discharged as a result of mine dewatering is comprised of storm water runoff and
groundwater seepage. This water will gravity flow to the pit sump for clarification prior to
discharge. Water collected in the pit will be used to replenish the recycling system or replenish
the existing fresh water pond on the property. Any accumulated water that is not needed,will be
discharged through the approved outfall location, specifically Outfall 00. Discharge water from
the outfall will be tested for pH, Turbidity,Total Suspended Solids, and Settleable Solids; in
accordance with the requirements of General NPDES Permit requirements to ensure that water
quality standards are met.

If yes,do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)?
YES NO
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 0.50 Million Gallons
If yes,what impact,if any,will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?Locate all existing wells on the mine
map(s)that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area.Provide data to support any conclusions or statement
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.
The close proximity of the rock to the surface of the ground and the low level of permeability of
the rock in the quarry area indicate that the quarry development will have no detrimental impact
on any wells in the area.
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.
The process is described in the General NPDES permit issued to the mining industry and
specifically, NPDES Permit No. NCG020044 for this facility. This permit authorizes the
discharge of storm water, process water, and mine dewatering to the surface waters of North
Carolina.
4. A)Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
IXYES F ]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.
The NC DEQ Air Quality Program has issued air Permit No.3483 for this facility.
B)How will dust from stockpiles,haul roads,etc.,be controlled?
Fugitive dust from the processing plant, stockpiles, etc. will be controlled through the use of a
wet suppression system within the operating plant. A large water truck will be used to control the
dust on the haul roads, pit area and within the stockpile area. A large portion of the annual
production will consist of washed stone,which generates little dust.

E.DETERMINATION OF AFFECTED ACREAGE AND BOND
The following bond calculation worksheet is to be used to establish an appropriate bond(based upon a range of$500 to$5,000
per affected acre)for each permitted mine site based upon the acreage approved by the Department to be affected during the
life of the mining permit.Please insert the approximate acreage,for each aspect of the mining operation,that you intend to affect
during the life of this mining permit(in addition,please insert the appropriate reclamation cost/acre for each category from the
Schedule of Reclamation Costs provided with this application form)OR you can defer to the Department to calculate your bond
for you based upon your maps and standard reclamation costs:
