RE: Todd Pit No 4
Mining Permit No. 10-65
Brunswick County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Todd:
An inspection was made of the above mine on December 10,2020 in accordance with G.S. §74-56 of the Mining
Act of 1971.
The inspection revealed that although mining has ceased and the site has been graded and seeded,there is
insufficient groundcover established,to date. Thus,the Department cannot release this site at this time.
Please continue to monitor the site and provide proper maintenance,as needed,to ensure that a vegetative
groundcover is permanently established. Once the vegetation is established,please contact Ms. Caroline Dalis of
our Wilmington Regional Office at(910) 796-7372,or me to schedule an inspection for final release of this site.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Adam Parr
Assistant State Mining Engineer
