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 [phone].

Dear Mr. Smith:
Your application for renewal and modification of the above referenced mining permit
has been approved. The modification is to increase the permitted acreage to 11.4 acres and
decrease the affected acreage at this site to 4.8 acres. This modification includes the addition
of 5.13 acres along the northern and eastern permit boundaries as well as the reduction of the
width of unexcavated buffers along permit boundaries as shown on the mine map last revised
June 2, 2010. In addition, this request includes the release of 3.5 acres of previously
disturbed and reclaimed area from the reclamation bond. A copy of the renewed and modified
permit is enclosed. The new expiration date is July 27, 2020.
The conditions in the renewed and modified permit were based primarily upon the initial
application. Modifications were made as indicated by the renewal and modification requests
and as required to insure compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. 1 would like to draw your
particular attention to the following conditions where minor additions or changes were made:
Operating Condition Nos. 4C, 4D, 5, 9A, 9B, and 13 and Reclamation Condition No. 3.
G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise
affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an
incorporated city or county or by any agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
We have received the $4,900,00 Assignment of Savings Account (no. 008801069864)
issued by First Citizens Bank for the referenced mining operation. As this new Assignment of
Savings Account sufficiently covers the mining operation, the enclosed Assignment of Savings
Account (no. 008801035189) for $5,400.00 issued by First Citizens Bank is hereby released
by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for your disposal,

MINING PERMIT EXPIRATION DATE: JuIV 27 2020

Page 2
In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as the Department,
and in conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of
this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.

expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another operator
succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue of a sale,
lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the duties
imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference to the
permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that both
operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor operator
agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the affected land
and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing to
achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the operator
written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to modify the
Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a hearing at a
designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or suspension by the
Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department may institute other
enforcement procedures authorized by law.

Toby,
Mr. George Wilson Smith has confirmed that he does not plan to dewater
his pit. If that changes, he will amend his permit. He also
acknowledges that he will mine below the water table. Additonally, he
plans to excavate around the perimeter of the already excavated pit.
A requirement for a construction gravel mat on the haul road will be
added to the permit.
Thanks for your help.

I got your voice mail message. Thanks. Will stipulate to construction'

Concerning the water table, I will call the operator and resolve why he

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.

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.

Based on the information contained in the permit application for the above
referenced site,my comments and concerns are as follows. 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. Any
person who withdraws in one day 100.000 gallons (70 gpm) or more of surface
water or ground water in North Carolina is required to register the withdrawal. If

Please find enclosed response to your letter dated May 6,2010 regarding the above referenced mine
renewal and modification.
1. We have surveyed the property boundary line between the adjoining owner,Mr.William J.
Lewis,and installed white pvc plastic pipe markers to define the mine permit boundary. The Line
was shown correct on the mine maps submitted,and the mine operators,Smith Brothers Paving,
have been working with Mr.Lewis to address the issues in his letter. Smith Brothers stated they
would be helping to satisfy Mr.Lewis's other complaints.
2. The unexcavated buffers have been added to the acreage table under'Othee category on the mine
snaps sheet S-1 and the mine application pg 6. The reclamation bond estimate was revised on
pg 12 as well.
3. Smith Brothers Paving,Inc. will remain on the mine permit and should be revised for the new
reclamation bond. Smith Brothers Paving,Inc is the legal business name.
Also,Mr.George W.Smith should have already sent in the additional$750.00 for the modification per

RE: Allen Sand Pit. 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.

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. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley,environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579.

Mr. William J. Lewis

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 [phone].
Sincerely,
Ashley L. odgers

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. Recent flags marking the boundary for this permit appear to be infringing on my
property +
3. 1 propose that before any further action is taken on the permit process that the
property line be reestablished and fenced. (At Smith Brothers expense.)
4. Depth of digging is to the extent that I feel the moisture level has been
compromised in my adjoining field.

Smith Brothers Paving, Inc.
Allen Sand Pit
Bladen County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal/modification request for the above referenced project.
The Allen Sand Pit located in Bladen County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground water
supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to begin pumping water from
the mine to stabilize mining activities,the Division of Water Resources would like to be contacted so that it
may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground water supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water
withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue requires any
non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface
water to register and update withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000'gallons or more in any
one day of surface water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers.
Water withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by April 1 for the previous
year.

RE: Allen Sand Pit Permit No.09-14
2010 Mine Renewal-Modification Application
Smith Brothers Paving,Inc,/G.Wilson Smith
Bladen County
Dear Ms.Rodgers:
Please find enclosed 6 complete sets of updated mine drawings and permit renewal-modification
application forms for the Allen Sand Pit mine in Bladen County. 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.
Sincerely,,
J.Branch Smith,PE KCUW D
