RE: Mining Permit No. 10-80
J.P Russ& Son Mine#2
Brunswick County
Dear J P Russ & Sons Inc:
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(919) 707-9220.

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

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.

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.

Hay Judy,
Here is the report for the Russ mine inspection 10-80 that you requested because of bond letter.
Most of the site is still being farmed but the back part of the site had stockpiles of dirt, asphalt and debris as well as the
ditch being dug out and what appears to be a road along the ditch being graded. Probably was existing and being
reworked but I have a call into Mr. Russ to find out what is going on.
Let me know if you need more info.

RE: J P Russ & Son Mine #2
Permit No. 10-80
Brunswick County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Russ and Ms. Flemming:
This office has received notification of Travelers Casualty and Insurance Company's
intent to cancel J P Russ & Son, Inc,'s $8,500.00 mine reclamation bond (Surety Bond No.
105140936). Although the notice states the effective cancellation date is June 30, 2015, G.S.
74-54 states that cancellation by the surety shall be effectuated only upon 60 days written
notice to the Department and the operator. This office received Traveler Casualty and
Insurance Company's notice on May 29, 2015. Therefore, the effective date for cancellation
of this bond is-July 28, 2015,
Please note that if the bond is not reinstated or replaced by June 28, 2015, the mining
permit will be automatically revoked (G.S. 74-50(c)). Thus, all mining activities must cease
and the entire mine site must be completely reclaimed. Should any further mining activities
occur at the.site(s) after this date, such activities will be considered mining without a permit
and subject to further enforcement action, such as civil penalties and injunctive relief.
As a surety is required to maintain the validity of the mining permit(s), please arrange to
substitute this bond. I am enclosing another surety form, an assignment of savings account
form and an irrevocable standby letter of credit form, any of which may be used to replace the
existing surety.

Please be advised that this reclamation bond must remain in full force and effect until it
is reinstated or replaced, or the site is completely reclaimed and deemed releaseable by the
Department. A review of our records indicates that the mining permit for the above referenced
mine site is still active and, therefore, a valid mine reclamation bond is still required until all
outstanding reclamation obligations have been met at the site.
If a substitute reclamation bond is not received by this office within this deadline, or if
reclamation of the site(s) has not commenced and is proceeding in a timely manner by this
deadline, this matter will be referred to the Attorney General's Office for initiation of bond
forfeiture-proceedings under G.S. 74-66(d) to ensure proper reclamation of the mine site(s). In
addition, failure to address the terms of this Notice may result in the assessment of civil
penalties and/or injunctive relief against the permittee.
Please contact me at [phone] as soon as possible to convey your intentions in
this matter. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Pam,

I received the reinstatement notice for JP Russ&Son, Inc. Surety Bond No. 105140936 yesterday. However, it is not
sufficient for us to consider the bond reinstatement valid. The problem is with the last statement on the notice (where
it basically says if the payment doesn't go through, the reinstatement is considered null and void).
we need something definitive from Travelers stating that yes, the bond is reinstated and is in full force and effect.
(without the general caveat on the notice)
Can you please send me a revised reinstatement notice, which clearly says that the bond is reinstated fully(with no
caveat)?
If you have any questions, please email or call me.

PERMIT
for the operation of a mining activity
In accordance with the provisions of G.S. 74-46 through 68, "The Mining
Act of 1971," Mining Permit Rule 15A NCAC 5 B, and other applicable
laws, rules and regulations
Permission is hereby granted to:
J.P. Russ & Son, Inc.
J.P. Russ & Son Mine #2
Brunswick County - Permit No.
for the operation of a
Sand Mine
which shall provide that the usefulness, productivity and scenic values of
all lands and waters affected by this mining operation will receive the
greatest practical degree of protection and restoration.
MINING PERMIT EXPIRATION DATE: May 2018

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 th_e 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

Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1612
Subject: JP Russ & Son Mine #2 LAND QUALITY SECTV4
Brunswick County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Clark:
On behalf of our Client, please find enclosed the additional information requested in your
April 3,2008 letter:
1} The wetlands on the subject project were delineated by Land Management Group
of Wilmington, North Carolina. Mr, Paul Farley of that firm notified our office
on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 that the US Army Corps of Engineers had
reviewed the site and were agreement that there are no wetlands on site. Once the
Corps has signed off on the wetland delineation map verifying "No 404 Wetlands
Found On This Parcel" we will forward a copy to your office.
2) We have revised the reclamation plan to reflect the addition of silt fence on the
south side of the mine to alleviate any sediment from leaving the site.
Again we appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Should you have any questions
or comments, please do not hesitate in contacting our office at your convenience.
Sincerely,

RE: Application Request
J.P. Russ & Son Mine #21 Brunswick County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Russ:
We have reviewed the application request your company submitted for the referenced
mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing your.
application:
1. After reviewing an aerial photo, it appears that wetlands possibly exist along the
south side of the proposed affected areas of the mine. Please contact the
Division of Water quality in the Wilmington Regional Office at (#910-395-3900) to
determine if wetlands do exist. Please address this issue with a response to our
office.
2. The mine map does not show any type of sediment control along the center of
the south side of the mine where stormwater runoff leaves the site. During the
initial site preparation, what sediment control measure will be utilized in this
area? If you do not think measure will be needed, please respond as to why you
think they will not be needed. Otherwise, a revised map will be required showing
location and details of what measure will be utilized, along with supporting
calculations and designs for the measures.

DATE: March 24,2008
RE: Clark Mine#26-42, American Materials Company,Cumberland County
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 197I (as amended, 1982: G.S. 74-76 et seq., 15 NCAC 5),
J.A. Russ and Son is proposing to mine 11.85 acres of an 18 acre site for top-soil and sand.The mine is
located near Longwood off of SR1315 (Russtown Rd) in Brunswick County. Post mining reclamation of
the pit will be as a lake stocked with bream and bass.
We have the following concerns and recommendations:
• It appears as though the mimic glass lizard(Ophisaurus mimicus)and the Venus flytrap(Dionaea
muscipula) have been observed in the general vicinity of the proposed mine. While these are not
state or federally listed species,they are species of special concern and federal special concern.
We recommend that any mimic glass lizards and Venus flytraps that may be seen,be avoided and
reported to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program at(919) 715.8688.
• For clarification,the permit application states in sections C.6.a .that J.P. Russ will maintain a
maximum slope of 3:1. We recommend that the mine maintain a minimum slope of 3:1 for sand
mines.
• The vegetation plan,as explained on sheet 1,specifically states the use Bermuda grass,centipede
grass,bahiagrass and carpet grass,which will help prevent erosion but provide little benefit to
wildlife species. We recommend the use of locally native species such as switchgrass(Panicum
virgalum)for post-disturbance stabilization. Also,we recommend shrub species such as wax
myrtle(Myrica cerifera),silvering(Baccharis halimifolia),and/or marsh elder(Ivafrutescens)

for stabilization around the lake edge. The use of these species will provide food and cover for
wildlife not afforded by the proposed lawn grasses.
Information about establishment and management offish ponds can be found at the following
webpage: http://www.newildlife.org/Dg03_Fishinalimages/PONDMAN5.PDF. To provide
adequate shallow water for aquatic vegetation growth,a pit slope of 3:1 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 http://www.ncwildlife.org or solicited directly from Commission
Biologist Keith Ashley at(910) 8664250.
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.

Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining application request for the

As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications, renewals and
modifications, this office will carefully review all proposed erosion and sediment control
measures to ensure that they are sufficient to restrain erosion and off-site sedimentation.
However, any comments your agency can provide regarding effects on significant
archeological resources and/or human skeletal remains would be greatly appreciated. If
your staff wishes to perform a site inspection, it is recommended that they contact the
person submitting this request to set up a convenient date and time. Also, please send a
copy of your comments to the person noted in the application.
Your continued cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please contact Ms. Chastity

FROM: Peter Sandbec�
SUBJECT: Application for Mining Permit,J. P. Russ & Son,Inc.,J.P. Russ & Son !-fine #2,
Brunswick County, ER 08-0712
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 porential 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 cornment,
contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579.
