Permit: Lake Norman Quarry 55-01
Dear Adam:
This letter is in response to the questions concerning our Lake Norman Quarry modification request and
letter dated May 16, 2024, for additional information.
Additional Requested Comments:
1. Property owners have been added to the mine map.
2. The permit boundary does extend to the public road and is now shown on the mine map.
3. The stream buffers have been added to a new map labeled 3.5 of 5. This should better show the
intended stream buffers on the mine map. Please reference map EC-200 for more detail.
4. Included in the packet is an updated page that can be included in the binder booklet showing an
adequate plug and sequencing as requested by Mooresville Regional Office.
5. Sheet EC-4 page 41 has been updated to show adequate silt fencing along the entire project area.
6. Attached pages from DRG has added a note on the pump around with a minimum 3' top crest.
7. Sheet EC-4 page 41 has been updated showing sediment trap and erosion control at the bridge
crossing.
8. All mine maps have been updated with legend matching colors on the maps.
9. I have kept the gray color on the mine maps for the areas NE and NW showing the pits that were
permitted in 2008 and approved by Lincoln County Zoning. I have not shown these areas on
Maps 3 and 3.5 and only highlighted the waste area. The waste area would be constructed in the
areas of the approved pit area. After the waste area is removed once the Forney Creek project is
complete, we still may mine these areas in the future.
10. I have updated the reclamation map to show the pit as a fixture water source. The areas shown
as pits in the NE and NW areas of the map will not be mined below the water table and be left as
pits. This concept could change and will be updated with additional mapping in the future if
needed.
