ROY COOPER Governor MICHAE.L S. REGAN secreFnry Energy.Mineral& TRACY DaAVIp Land Resources ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY December 1, 2017 George W. Smith Smith Brothers, Inc. 770 Singletary Mill Pond Road Bladenboro, NC 28320 RE: Mining Permit No. 09-14 Allen Sand Pit Bladen County Dear George W. Smith: This letter is to advise you of recent amendments to the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 which impact the permit term of your existing mining permit. Pursuant to the passage of House Bill 56, which became law on October 4, 2017 as SL 2017-209, all existing mining permits and any newly issued relining permits are to be issued for the life of site or for the duration of the lease term. The "life of site" means the period from the initial receipt of a permit for the operation until the mining operation terminates and the required reclamation is completed. Considering the above, this letter hereby modifies your existing mining permit to remove all references to the prior expiration date to convert your permit to a life of site or lease permit effective immediately. No action is required on your part for this modification to be effective. Please attach this letter to your existing mining permit for future reference. The mine name and permit number on the permit document, and all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained therein, shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS §74-51 and GS §74-52 still apply to all new, transferred and modified mining permits. In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, SL 2017-209 also enacted a new annual mining permit operating fee of$400 per mining permit number. By statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be submitted to this office by December 31, 2017— see the attached Invoice to remit the initial annual fee payment by this deadline. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by July 1 of each year with the required Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS §74-55. Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a $50/month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit. Lastly, pursuant to GS §74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from $500,000 to $1 million. Any adjustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this office or addressed during your next requested permit action unless you contact this office with a written request to have your bond reevaluated. The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning regulations. The responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations remains with you. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions on the above, please contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at (919) 707-9220.

Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: Susan B. Edwards Land Quality Section FROM: Keith W. Ashley -r' District 4 Fisheries Biologist DATE: February 21, 2000 SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Smith Brothers Paving, Inc. —Allen Sand Pit, off SR 1101 on Marsh Road, near Big Swamp, Blades County,North Carolina. N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission staff have reviewed the project for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources in the area. A site visit was made on February 17,2000. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), Section 401(b) of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), and the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-76 et. seq., 15 NCAC 5). The applicant is requesting a permit allowing sand mining from 6.27 acres of partially forested land adjacent to an unnamed branch to Big Swamp. The application indicates a buffer of 50 ft. will be maintained between land disturbing activities and any adjoining permit boundaries or right-of-ways. The application also indicates that there will be no buffer between the mine site and the nearest watercourses/wetlands, which are approximately 50 yards from a previously mined area on the site and approximately 100 yards from the proposed new site. Wooded wetlands associated with streams typically provide excellent wildlife habitat, store floodwaters, and protect surface water quality. An excavated water body is to be left and stocked with fish as part of mine reclamation. We consider a 50 ft. vegetated buffer to be a minimum requirement for protection of watercourses and wetlands and recommend that this be a condition of the permit. Since the site ultimately is to include a lake stacked with fish, we are sending pertinent fishery management information to the applicant. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this application. If you have any concerns regarding our comments, please contact me at(910)866-4250.

First,the application states that the proposed mine excavation will not extend below the water table (question 1c.)but the cross section on the map supplied indicates the opposite is ,; �• true. This contradiction needs to be resolved before an assessment of the effects of mining on ground water quality and quantity can be completed. Second, a r� detailed description of the exact location of the proposed mine would be helpful. A large wetlands area exists near the proposed mining area but I cannot determine where on SR 1101 the proposed mine is located and its proximity to the wetlands. Any water withdrawal will be subject to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.2214; Registration of Water Withdrawals and Transfers Required.

Bladen Countv Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)have reviewed the subject application for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.), and the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982:G.S. 74-76 et seq., 15 NCAC 5). Smith Brothers Pony Inc. is requesting to renew and modify their existing mining permit,No. 09-14 for their sand and gravel operation at the Allen Sand Pit in Bladen County. The pit will be modified to allow for the permit to cover an additional 5.13 acres.The maximum depth of the mine is expected to be 20 feet. The vegetation plan states the use of lespedeza species and other turf grasses for post disturbance stabilization. We recommend the use of locally native species such as switchgrass(Panicum virgatum)for post-disturbance stabilization. Also, we recommend shrub species such as wax myrtle(Myrica cerifera),silverling(Baccharis halimifolia), and/or marsh elder(Iva frutescens)for stabilization around the lake edge. The use of these species will provide food and cover for wildlife not afforded by lawn grasses typically used for stabilization. Information about establishment and management of fish ponds can be found at the following webpage: To provide adequate shallow water for aquatic vegetation growth, the pit slope of 3 to 1 should extend to a water depth of at least 4 feet. Further technical assistance regarding managing fish and wildlife on private lands can be found at or solicited directly from Commission Biologist Keith Ashley at(910) 866-4250. The NCWRC does not object to the issuance of the mining permit for this project provided our recommendations are included as permit requirements. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this application. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding these comments, please call me at(910)796-7240.

Application for Mining Permit Modification,Smith Brothers Pony,Inc.,Allen Sand Pit, Bladen County, ER 10-0654 Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter 74, Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area,it is unlikely that any archaeological sites which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the proposed borrowing. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project. While we note that this project review is only for a state permit, the potential for federal permits may require further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.

Simons, PG, PE Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor Director and State Geologist Dee Freeman, Secretary July 15, 2010 Mr. William J. Lewis 5218 Marsh Road Bladenboro, North Carolina 28320 Dear Mr. Lewis: Thank you for your letter dated April 15, 2010 expressing your concerns regarding the Allen Sand Pit in Bladen County. Your concerns certainly deserve evaluation. Before a decision is made to grant or deny the mining permit, concerns within the jurisdiction of NCGS 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971 must be addressed. During the application review, site inspections are made and comments are solicited from other agencies regarding the potential impacts to wildlife, air and water quality and groundwater. Please note, however, that zoning concerns, such as truck traffic, noise and property values,-are not within the jurisdiction of The Mining Act and are more appropriately addressed through the local government. A concern regarding the possible encroachment of the mining operation on your property was mentioned in your letter. The applicant, Smith Brothers Paving, Inc., has since surveyed and marked the property boundary line between your properties. The mining permit is conditioned so that the mine permit boundary must be permanently marked at the site on 100-foot intervals unless the line of sight allows for larger spacing intervals. In addition, the permit also provides that sufficient buffer be maintained along all permit boundaries for the protection of adjoining properties. Smith Brothers Paving, Inc. has also indicated to us that they are willing to address your other complaints and are working to do so. Again, thank you for your letter. Your comments have been incorporated into our review. If you have any additional questions, please contact me at (919) 733-4574.

Re: Smith Brothers Paving, Inc. Mine Permit No. 09-14 Dear: Ms. Rodgers As a property owner adjoining this project I would like to address the following conditions. 1. At the existing site, Smith Brothers has crowded the existing property line to the extent that it is impossible to clearly maintain previous established property boundaries. 2.

This site has been an active mine since 2000 and expires June 6,2010. There are currently 6.27 acres under permit and 5.0 acres bonded. We have modified the permit boundary to include an additional 5.13 acres for a total of 11.40 acres. Proposed affected areas of 2.60 and 0.90 acres are shown on the mine maps and will be bonded under the application bond amount or an altemative amount determined by your office. Mr.Wilson Smith has asked that the existing 3.50 acres of the lake and stockpile areas be considered for reclamation release to offset some of his increased bond amount. He has not released any part of the pit for reclamation before. The reclamation plan calls for a lake area at a mirwnum depth of Oft with side slopes below the water at minimum 2:1,side slopes above the lake stabilized at 3:1,and any stockpile areas should be leveled and smoothed. Mr.Wilson Smith has established the lake and will begin the process of leveling and smoothing the stockpile area. Notifications were made to the Bladen County Manager and adjacent property owners within 1,000 feet. On behalf of Smith Brothers Paving,Inc. and Mr.Wilson Smith,please find these maps and applications necessary for a complete review for their mining permit.
