Subject: Modification Application, Carteret Farm Mine# 16-87, Carteret County
Dear Mr. Parr;
Please find enclosed the application for modification of the Carteret Farm Mine, permit# 16-
87, Carteret County. This modification simply adds approximately 15.6 acres to the permitted
area, of which, 11.6 is to be mined. The new mining area is simply an expansion into an area
adjacent to the existing mine. The new area has been evaluated for jurisdictional wetlands, and
the JD shows no wetlands. The US Army Corps of Engineers has approved the JD. Mining will
begin in the new area after mining has been completed in the existing area. The existing mining
area will fill with water, and then serve as a very large settling pond for discharge from the new
mining area.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Sincerely,
James Izzell
Carolina Geological Services, Inc.
