Dear Mr. Threatt:
On October 28, 2021, an inspection of the subject mine was performed by Kimberly Turney and myself of
this office. A detailed review of the current site conditions against your mine application documents has
revealed the following deficiency that requires your attention:
• An existing former farm road with an existing creek culvert has been used to access both sides of the
creek for site development. Rip-rap stabilization has been placed on the road, as shown in the picture
below,taken October 28, 2021.

You clarified on-site that use of this existing road is only for site development. The use of this existing
road and culvert is expected only until the installation of the arch culvert, and the arch culvert will be
operational prior to production of material for sale.
Once the arch culvert is installed, it is expected that the rip-rap will be removed from the existing road and
the area reclaimed to a stabilized condition.
Your cooperation is appreciated. If you should have any questions, please contact me at
tamera.eplinCcc�,ncdenr.gov or(336) 776-9654.
Sincerely,
