RE: Mining Permit No. 10-60
Clemmons Dirt Pit
Brunswick County
Dear Tripp's Construction, LLC.
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 mining 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].
Sincerely,
William "Toby"Vinson, Jr_, PE, CPM

RE: Permit No. 10-60
Clemmons Dirt Pit
Brunswick County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Tripp:
Your application for renewal and modification of the above referenced mining permit
has been approved. This modification includes a 25 foot unexcavated buffer along most of the
permit boundary and a 25 foot undisturbed buffer along the boundary with the Robert David
Clemmons and Prospect Baptist Church properties as shown on the mine map last revised
April 26, 2011. The modification request also allows for the dewatering of the mine area to a
depth of 35 feet and the use of a dredge to mine the remaining 20 feet of depth in the
excavation area. A copy of the renewed and modified permit is enclosed. The new expiration
date is May 20, 2021.
However, please note that the mine map last revised April 26, 2011 shows
essentially identical symbols for the silt fence and unexcavated buffers onsite. Please
submit two copies of a revised mine map (Sheet 1) which more clearly differentiates
between silt fence and unexcavated buffers within 30 days of your receipt of this letter.
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. 4B, 4C, 4D, 5, 9A, 913 and 13.
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.

encouraged to make an appointment for file review with the appropriate agency
representative. If a customer does not have an appointment, it is possible that they will not
be able to be accommodated at that particular time and they will be requested to make an
appointment. However, every effort will be made to accommodate the walk-in public if
sufficient staff and time permit.
For security reasons, customers viewing central and regional office files may not take
briefcases, bags, totes, etc. into the file review area.
Citizens making copies of file material are charged as follows:
25 or less copies free

Dear Mr. Tripp:
The review has been completed on the renewal and modification request your company
submitted for the referenced mine site. However, the following is needed to continue
processing your application:
The reclamation bond was calculated for this site using the information submitted on the
renewal and modification request. The reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be
$14,300,00. The calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the bond or balance
($1,500.00) will be required prior to approval of this renewal.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings
account form and irrevocable standby letter of credit form for your use in securing the required
bond. The name on the security must be the same as the name appearing on the application
for a mining permit, i.e., Tripp's Construction, L.L.C. In addition to one of these alternatives,
you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that the renewal request cannot be completed until the new bond
amount has been received.
As required by G.S. 74-51 (h), you are hereby advised that you have 60 days from the
date of your receipt of this letter to submit the reclamation bond. if you are unable to meet this
deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit information, in writing, to the
Director clearly indicating why the deadline can not be met and request that an extension of
time be granted.

Ashley,
Enclosed are two 81/2 by 1 sheets showing the change in the undisturbed buffer
along the West side of the Clemmons Dirt Pit that we discussed today. The change will
leave a 350'section on the North end as unexcavated rather than undisturbed.
Also note that the affected acres will be reduced by .75 acres (undisturbed buffer)
which results in 19.75 acres actually being disturbed
Sincerely

RE: Clemmons Dirt Pit Renewal
Mine Permit No. 10-60
Brunswick County
Dear Ashley,
Thank you for responding to my e-mail to you on February 21, 2011 regarding the
additional information request letter for the Clemmons Dirt Pit in Brunswick County.
Regarding the buffer along the west side of the mine and along SR 1342, 1 have revised
the mine map to show the 25 foot buffer as being undisturbed along these areas. Two
copies of the revised mine maps are enclosed.
In my response cover letter dated December 17, 2010 I did state that once Tripp's
Construction, LLC (TC) had mined down to 35 feet they would make a determination at
that time to apply or not apply for a modification of the mining permit to dredge the
remaining 20 feet.
Please disregard that statement and note that TC intends to utilize a dredge to mine the
last 20 foot of material at the mine site.
Sincerely

Hi, Floyd!
Sorry I didn't respond yesterday—I was in the field. And today I've just been catching up.
With respect to Clemmons Dirt Pit,
1—Buffers : Mell's position is the same that it's always been. Those undisturbed/forested buffers you mention are
outside of the permit boundary, and since they are outside of the permit boundary we have no control over whether or
not they will remain undisturbed and thus ok for screening.
2—Depth: I've attached the first page of your cover letter. If you look at the last part of the first paragraph,.the
wording is not clear. That is the problem. The wording there seems to say that they want to dewater down to 35 feet,
then they"will make a determination at that time to apply or not apply for a modification of the mining permit to
dredge below the 35 foot depth." If they were already requesting to dredge the rest of it, they wouldn't need to apply
for that as a modification at some later date. I think you can clear this one up just be rewriting that to make it clear that
you are already requesting that you be able to dewater to 35 ft,then dredge the remainder of the depth.
Hope that helps,

Subject: Clemmons Dirt Pit - Mine Permit No. 10-60
Hello Ashley,
Hope you arc doing great. I would like to discuss the two additional information items in your January 19,
2011 letter regarding the renewal and modification for the Clemmons Dirt Pit - Mine Permit No. 10-60 in
Brunswick County.
Item No. 1 Regarding the 25' buffer, the Prospect Baptist Church property along the west side of the mine
site is actually an old cemetery. There is an excellent undisturbed 50' buffer with trees and undergrowth
existing between the permit boundary and the property line along the Church Property. I would like to keep the
i

1t
buffer inside the mine permit bount as unexcavated along the West bouno to the northeast corner of the
property of Robert David Clemmons and provide the undisturbed 25' buffer along Clemmons property and
Macatoka Rd. Please note that a well established buffer with trees and undergrowth (approximately 80' width)
exist along the Clemmors property and an approximately 50' tree buffer with undergrowth exists along
Macatoka Rd.
With regards to the 50-55 foot mine depth, it was explained in the December 17, 2010 cover letter
responding to your September 8, 2010 additional information request letter and on page 7 of the mine
application that the mine would be dewatered to a depth of 35' then a dredge would be utilized to mine the
remaining 20 foot.
On January 25, 2011 Dave Tripp (Mine owner& operator) and 1 met at the mine site with Linda
Willis with DWQ-Wilmington Regional Office and Linda said she was OK with the modification etc. and
was going to call you to let you know she was OK with what was proposed.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you are OK with buffers and my response to how mining would
take place for the 20 foot depth below the 35 foot dewatering depth. I got to wrap this one up!!!!
Thanks,
Floyd

I had a chance to inspect this mine on January 13th. The mine site looks good, no current mining taking place. They have
only dug out around 75% of the mine pit. They want the modified permit(to go deeper) so when the econmoy picks up
they will be ready to dig.
I will fax my response and Linda Wilsons response to you today. Molly (who works for wildlife) is out sick today, I'll ask

RE; Modification Request & Response to the September 8, 2010 AD] Letter.
Clemmons Dirt Pit — Mine Permit No. 10-60 - Brunswick County
A renewal application was filed with the Mining .Program on/or about August 10,
2010 for Mining Permit No. 10-60 (Clemmons Dirt Pit). On September 8, 2010 you mailed
a letter to Mr. Harold .Dave Trip -- Tripp's Construction, L.LC (TC) requesting additional
information. The modification request is to allow TC to dewater the pit down to 35 feet
below normal ground elevation and leave the average depth of the pit at 50 feet. Once
Mining is completed down to 35 feet TC will make a determination at that time to apply or
not apply for a modification of the mining permit to dredge below the 35 foot depth. Tripp's
Construction, LLC has a Certificate of Coverage No. N00020630 for this mine for storm
water, mine dewatering/or process wastewater issued by the .Division of Water Quality.
1 have updated the mine map to correspond with site conditions, up to date adjoining
property owners, and location of all dwellings within 500 feet of the mine site. Four
dwellings exist within. 500 feet of the pit boundary. Brunswick County had well records for
two of the dwellings located on property located to the southeast of the mine. Public water
is not provided to the area where the mine is located. Well depth at Jeffery Stewart
Clemmons home is 58 feet and Prospect Baptist Church is 60 feet. No records exist for the
other two homes but it is my understanding after talking with some folks that the other two
wells are around 55 to 60 feet in depth. Due to the depth of wells and purposed dewatering
depth, 1 do not feel that dewatering the pit to 35 feet below ground elevation will have any
impact to these wells.
Since adequate existing screening buffers are located around the entire mine permit
boundary and within the property boundary (see updated mine map) we have labeled the 25
foot buffer between the mine permit boundary and pit as unexcavated rather than 25 foot
buffer.

Permit Reissuance—Permit Number NCG020630
February 11, 2010
Page 2
o Section B—Revised provisions require that stormwater discharges be sampled twice per year(instead of
annually), and that the sampling results be compared to new benchmark values. (The previous cut-off
concentrations have been removed.)
o Section B— Revised provisions require the permittee to execute Tier One, Tier Two &Tier Three
response actions, based on the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One)and the second consecutive
benchmark exceedence(Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the permittee institute monthly monitoring
(reported to the appropriate Regional Offices)instead of twice-per-year monitoring. Monthly monitoring
shall be done until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
a Section B--This part contains a new provision that four exceedences of any benchmark will trigger
increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may
direct the permittee to apply for an individual permit, institute specific monitoring, or may direct the
implementation or Installation of specific stormwater control measures.
o Section B—The definition of"Representative Storm Event" (RSE)now allows 48 hours (instead of 72
hours)of tittle or no precipitation to precede an RSE.
n Section B—Stormwater discharges from a basin designed to contain the 10-year storm must now be
monitored.
o Sections B & C— Failure to monitor according to permit terms triggers monthly monitoring for the
remainder of the permit.
• Section C—Analytical monitoring for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)has replaced the Oil & Grease
parameter in the previous permit.
a Section D—Qualitative monitoring must now be conducted during the same representative storm event
as the analytical monitoring,
a Section D —The permittee is required to keep a written record of his response to problems identified by
his qualitative monitoring observations.
d Section D—If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative monitoring, the
permittee may be required by DWQ to perform corrective action.
o Section D --Qualitative ROS: Representative Outfall Status may be granted for qualitative monitoring for
some Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDOs).
a Section D — If mines do not respond to problems seen in visual monitoring, DWQ may now require that
mines change the monitoring frequency, apply for an individual permit, implement in-stream monitoring,
install or modify structural stormwater controls, or implement other controls.
a Sections B, C, & D — Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be reported in the SPPP and
recorded in the Annual Summary DMR.
a Section E —A lower TSS Wastewater limit for PNA waters Is included in the permit.
o Section E—All mining operations are now required to monitor TSS in wastewater effluent discharges (not
only industrial sand mines). However, TSS limits only apply to industrial sand raining operations.
a Section E—Turbidity limits on effluent discharges have been removed; however, turbidity standards still
apply in the receiving waters.
• Section E--Approval of a Pumping O&M Plan may be required prior to coverage (for sites with
dewatering activities that have the potential to drain wetlands or other surface waters).
• Section E —ATC Requirements have been changed for clarity. These requirements are now outlined for
Mine Dewatering Wastewater, Process Wastewater, Overflow From Non-Closed-Loop Process Recycle
Wastewater Systems, and Overflow From A Closed-Loop Process Recycle (CLPR),
Section E—Monitoring for Fecal coliforms in discharges to SA waters has been clarified. Fecal coliform
monitoring is now required for all Process and mine dewatering wastewater discharges to SA waters.
a Part IV:
• Section E— Items 1. and 2. require submittal of a new reporting form: the Annual Summary DMR. This
annual summary of the dnalytical monitoring results should be submitted to the DWQ Central, Office by
March 1 of each year.
o Section E — Exceedences and violations must be sent to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office within 30
days of receipt from the lab.
a Section E—Results of"No Flow"or"No Discharge" must be recorded within 30 days from the sampling
period in the SPPP. "No flow" or"No Discharge" must also be reported on the Annual Summary DMR
form.

Subject: Clemmons Dirt Pit Permit No. 10-60
Judy,
The information for the above subject mine was for a modification to dewater and
response to an ADI regarding the renewal application for the Clemmons Dirt Pit. A check for
$750. for the modification was included in the package. It was loose and not in an envelope.
The modification was to address one of the questions in the renewal application which was how
could they mine to 50 feet without dewatering. . .
Give me a call if you have any questions.
Floyd R.

RE: Renewal of Mining Permit No. 10-60 for Clemmons Dirt Pit,Bruns ickCoun"ty
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).
Tripp's Construction, LLC is requesting to renew permit No. 10-600 to mine 20.05 acres for sand in
Brunswick County. As proposed,the maximum expected depth of the mine is 55 feet and would be
excavated with a front-end loader and truck and/or a shovel and truck..
The NCWRC recommends the use of native,warm season species such as switchgrass(Panicum
virgatum), Indiangrass(Sorghastrum.nutans), and big bluestem(Andropogon gerardii)for post-
disturbance stabilization.Compared to the commonly used turf grasses, native wane season grasses have
deeper rooting depths that better hold disturbed slopes and reduce negative effects from erosion. We also
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.
The reclamation plans indicates that the pit will be stocked with bass and bream when the mining work is
complete. Information about establishment and management of fish ponds can be found at the following
webpage:
hgp://www.ncwildlife.org/pa03_Fishing,images/PONDMAN5.PDF
To provide adequate shallow water for aquatic vegetation growth,the pit slope of 3 to I 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 athgp://www.ncwil-dlife.o or solicited directly from Commission Biologist,
Keith Ashley at(910)866-4250_
Records indicate that Carolina gopher frogs(Rana capita),a state listed threatened species,have been
observed within the vicinity of the project, as well as historical observations of the pygmy rattlesnake

(Sistrurus miliarius), a state listed species of concern. The NCWRC requests that if a pygmy rattlesnake
is observed or encountered,that the mine personnel contact NCWRC Biologist,Jeff Hall at(252)917-
1683.
The NCWRC does not object to the issuance of the miming permit for this project provided our
recommendations are included as permit requirements. Thank you for the opportunity to review and

GS 74-52 provides that the permit may be renewed at any time during the two years prior to
its expiration. The procedure to be followed and standards to be applied in renewing a permit shall
be the same as those for issuing a permit. To apply for permit renewal, you must complete Item
Nos. 1-5 of the Renewal Checklist (revised 11/2001). Complete and file an original and 4 (four)
copies of the appropriate pages of the mining permit application form for this site along with the
required corresponding mine maps. The appropriate application processing fee is also required.
The renewal checklist and application form and other forms may be downloaded by visiting:
http://www.dlr.enr.state.nc.us/pages/miningprogram.html, the web page for the Division of Land
Resources' Mining Program. Please be sure to indicate any changes in the mining and/or
reclamation plan. All requested information must be forwarded to the Land Quality Section's
Central Office at the address located on the cover of the application form.
If it is your intent to reclaim and release this site, the-renewal will not be necessary. If this
is the case, no further mining should be conducted after the expiration date and reclamation
should begin immediately. It is further requested that you notify this office in writing of your intent
to reclaim and release the site.

Page 2
It is recommended that you submit the above information for renewal of your mining permit at least
90 days prior to the permit's expiration date in order to allow the Department enough time to
complete its review of your request before the permit expires.
If you allow the permit to expire before submitting a request for renewal as per the above Checklist,
you must immediately cease mining on and after the expiration date and complete reclamation of
the site. Mining without a permit is subject to a $5,000 per day civil penalty. After the expiration
date, approval of a new mining permit application will be required before mining may continue.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please contact this office at [phone] if you have any
questions regarding this matter.

Dear Mr. Tripp:
We have reviewed the renewal your company submitted for the referenced mime site.
However, the following information is needed to continue processing your application-
I- Please revise the mine map to label all buffers as undisturbed or unexcavated.
Your current permit (operating condition no. 9) indicates a minimum 25 foot
buffer to be undisturbed except for the placement of any necessary screening
berms or tree plantings. This buffer is to be maintained between any excavation
and any mining permit boundary to protect adjacent property.
2. Your application for renewal indicates that you will be mining to a depth of 50-55
feet. Please clarify how you will achieve this depth without dewatering the pit.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
above have been fully addressed. In addition, please note the Land Quality Section may
request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application review
progresses.

Clemmons Dirt Pit
Brunswick County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application request for the above referenced project.
The Clemmons Dirt Pit located in Brunswick 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.

GUIDELINES
FOR
ACCESS TO PUBLIC RECORDS
August 20, 2010
i
The North Carolina Public Records Act provides that any person may review public
records under reasonable conditions of volume and time frame except under conditions
pursuant to the Privacy Act or other exclusions covered by the Public Records Act.
Public records are broadly defined as all materials (including e-mail) made or received
pursuant to law or ordinance in connection with the transaction of public business to
include paper records, video or audio records, data processing records, photographs, and
physical objects..
Due to the large,public demand at the central and regional offices for access to public files,
administrative assistance with copying is unavailable to the customer." The customer is
encouraged to make an appointment for file review with the appropriate agency
representative. If a customer does not have an appointment, it is possible that they will not
be able to be accommodated at that particular time and they will be requested to make an
appointment. However, every effort will be made to accommodate the walk-in public if
sufficient staff and time permit.
For security reasons, customers viewing central and regional office files may not take
briefcases, bags, totes, etc. into the file review area.
Citizens making copies of file material are charge as follows:
25 or less copies free
More than 25 copies 2.5 cents per page (for ENTIRE amount
copied)
Payment is due at the time of copying. Payment can be made by check, money order, or
cash. Payment is to be made in the administrative offices to the central or regional office
cashier or customer service representative. If the customer does not have payment readily
available, they can be invoiced for the amount due. Payment is due upon receipt of the
invoice.
*Customers requesting file review who are unable to visit the office and make the copies
themselves are advised to contract with a temporary employment agency.

RE: Permit No. 10-60
Clemmons Dirt Pit
Brunswick County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Tripp:
Your recent request to have the above referenced mining permit modified has been
approved. The modification is to increase the permitted and affected acreage at this site to
20.05 acres as indicated on the Mine Map last revised May 14, 2007. The modification
includes expansion of the permit boundary and mine excavation area to the southeast. A copy
of the modified permit is enclosed.
The conditions in the modified permit were based primarily upon the initial application.
Modifications were made as indicated by the modification request and as required to insure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. The expiration date, mine name and permit number
shall remain the same as before the modification. I would like to draw your particular attention
to the following conditions where minor additions or changes were made: Operating Condition
Nos. 3A, 4D, 5 and 14.
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
lies with you.
An inspection was made of the above mine on May 23, 2007 in accordance with G.S-
74-56 of the Mining Act of 1971. The 7.42 acre area at the site requested to be released, as
indicated on the mine map last revised May 14, 2007, has been found to be satisfactorily
reclaimed. Therefore, your company is released from further reclamation responsibility for this
area with respect to the Mining Act of 1971.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage and affected acreage for this site are both 20.05
acres, as indicated in the application and on the mine map dated May 14, 2007.

Re: Clemmons Dirt Pit
Mining Permit No. 10-60
Brunswick County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Tripp:
The review has been completed on the modification request your company submitted
for the referenced mine site. However, the following is needed to continue processing your
application:
The reclamation bond was calculated for this site using the information submitted on the
application request. The reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be $12,800,00.
The calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the bond or balance ($6.500.00) will
be required prior to approval of this modification.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings
account form and irrevocable standby letter of credit form for your use in securing the required
bond. The name on the security must be the same as the name appearing on the application
for a mining permit, i.e., Tripp Constructions LLC. In addition to one of these alternatives, you
may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that the modification request cannot be completed until the new bond
amount has been received.
As required by G.S. 74-51 (h), you are hereby advised that you have 60 days from the
date of your receipt of this letter to submit the reclamation bond. If you are unable to meet this
deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit information, in writing, to the
Director clearly indicating why the deadline can not be met and request that an extension of
time be granted.

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 listing 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,
contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-733-4763 ext,246.
