RE: Lake Norman Quarry
Mining Permit No. 55-01
Lincoln County
Catawba River Basin
Dear Mr. Conner:
We have reviewed the modification request your company submitted for the referenced mine site. In order for this
office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with N.C.G.S. §74-50 and§74-51 of the Mining
Act of 1971,please provide the additional or revised information in accordance with the following comments:
1. The permit boundary on the property owner map does not match the permit boundary on the mine map.
Please clarify the discrepancy and please add the property lines and owners of record to the mine map.
2. The permit boundary on the mine map does not extend to the public road. N.C.G.S. §74-49 defines
"affected land"as the surface are of land that is mined,the surface area of land associated with a mining
activity so that soil is exposed to accelerated erosion,the surface area of land on which overburden and
waste is deposited, and the surface area of land used for processing or treatment plant, stockpiles,
nonpublic roads, and settling ponds. Please clearly indicate and label on the mine map that the haul
road to the nearest public road is included in the Mine permit boundary.
3. Please clearly indicate and label on the mine map the stream buffers to the relocated Forney Creek on
the Mine map. The relocated stream and buffers should be labeled on the same map that shows the
related mining activities and permit boundary.
4. Please address the enclosed comments from the Mooresville Regional Office
Please note, this office may request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application
review progresses. Be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed above have been
fully addressed.
