RE: Mining Permit No. 10-81
Royal Oak
Brunswick County
Dear J Larry Faulkenberry:
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 S500.000 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].

Re: Royal Oak Mine
Brunswick County/ Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Faulkenberry:
The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the
required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 10-81 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on November 10, 2018. 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.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 16.35 acres and the amount of
land you are approved to disturb is 12.59 acres.
Please review the permit and contact Ashley Rodgers, Assistant State Mining
Specialist, at [phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.

RE: information Requested
Royal Oak Mine/Brunswick County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Ms. Wehner:
Enclosed is information requested:
1. (a) See mine map for erosion and sediment control measures.
(b) Mine adjacent to SR 1345 is screened by 200 feet of pine plantation.
Traffic volumes and other information will be a part of the application for
a driveway permit by NCDOT,which is required by NCDOT and
1
Brunswick County.
2. (a) This proposed mine is located at the top of a sand ridge. All storm water
will be directed into mine with no outlet. There is no impervious area
within this mine. (See Page 6 of application.)
(b) Wetland was flagged by S&ME Environmental Consultants and surveyed
by this office. It is my understanding the S&ME Consultants will obtain
Letter of Certification from the Corp of Engineers.
(c) It is my understanding, if there is no dewatering that NPDES permit is-
not required. All storm water will go into the mine pit.
If I can provide an additional information of any kind, please advise.
Sincerely,
Bobby M. ong

Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining application request for the
above referenced project.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this operation
having unduly .tune 13, 2008 so that we may complete our review of this request within
our statutory time limits.
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 publicly owned

DATE: June 20,2008
RE: Royal Oak Mine,Brunswick 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 1971 (as amended, 1982: G.S. 74-76 et seq., 15 NCAC 5).
Royal Oak mine is requesting a new mining permit to allow for a 16.35 acre sand mine to be created 1.5
miles north of the town of Shailotte in Brunswick County. The expected maximum depth of the mine will
be 35 feet below natural ground level and the site is in close proximity to the Green Swamp.
The vegetation plan specifically states the use of Sericea lespedeza, which is a noxious and invasive
weed,as well as other turf grass species. 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(14lyrica cerifera),silverling(Baccharis hahmifolia),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:
http://www.ncwildlife.orglpg03_Fishin images/PONDMANS PDF. 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.

Royal Oak Mine
Brunswick County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application request for the above referenced project.
The Royal Oak Mine 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 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-I of each year.

RE: Request for a Special Exception for a "Class I Mine"
File Number 08-05S
Dear Mr. Faulkenberry:
This is to confirm that at the April 10, 2008 Board of Adjustment Meeting the
Special Exception for a "Class I Mine" was conditionally approved.
Please find attached a copy of the Special Exception Permit. The Special
Exception Permit has been formatted to meet the standards so as to be recorded
by the Brunswick County Register of Deeds. Per Section 3.3.10.A. of the
Brunswick County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), the applicant must file
the approved special exception with the Brunswick County Register of Deeds or
the special exception shall be deemed void. Please remember that this Special
Exception Permit runs with the property and not the owner.
Per Section 3.3.15. of the,UDO, a Special Exception permit shall become null
and void in any of the following cases:
• If a final site plan is not approved within 24 months of the date of permit
approval.
• If an approved final site plan expires.
• If a substantial violation of the conditions of the permit, as determined by
the Zoning Administrator occurs. The addition of language to the special
exception permit regarding such voiding shall not be required.
If you have any questions please feet free to contact me at 910-253-2035 or via
email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Ow &&AO &WJV

Proposed Use of Property: Class 1 Mine
The project was submitted to the Planning Department on March 12, 2498 and appeared before the
Brunswick County Board of Adjustment on April 19, 2008.
The applicant is proposing to place a Class I Mine in the Rural Residential (RR) Zoning District. The
Brunswick County Land Use Plan designation for this parcel is Conservation. This use is permissible
with Special Exception approval by the Board of Adjustment.
SECTION 1 -- FINDINGS: Having heard all of the evidence and arguments presented at the hearing,
the Board of Adjustment, at its regular meeting, finds and determines that the application is complete,
and subject to the conditions imposed below, the following findings are made:
1. A written application was submitted and complete in all respects.
2. The Class I Mine for which the Special Exception is sought is in harmony with the area and is
not substantially injurious to the value of properties in the general vicinity. This is based on
sworn testimony and evidence submitted during the hearing which shows the following:
a. This is a rural area, with the proposed use permissible as a Special Exception by the
Board of Adjustment.
b. An adjacent property owner testified in favor of the request.
c. The proposed use will be a minimum of one (1) mile from the nearest residence.
3. The Class I Mine for which the Special Exception is sought is in conformance with all special
requirements applicable to this use. This is based on sworn testimony and evidence submitted
during the hearing which shows the following:
a. Section 5.2.3. of the Brunswick County Unified Development Ordinance lists a Class I
Mine as a permissible use in the Rural Residential Zoning District if approved by the
Board of Adjustment through the Special Exception process
b. The site plan submitted by the applicant was reviewed by the Zoning Administrator and
found to meet all requirements and conditions of the ordinance, provided that all of the
approval criteria and conditions outlined in the Staff Report are met.
4. The Class I Mine for which the Special Exception is sought, if developed as proposed will not
adversely affect the health and safety of the public. This is based on sworn testimony and
evidence submitted during the hearing which shows the following:
a. Adequate buffers are proposed as denoted on the site plan.
b. Access to the mine will be gated after hours.
5. The Class I Mine, if developed as proposed, will adequately address the twelve (12) review
factors identified in Section 3.3.9.B. of the Brunswick County Unified Development Ordinance.
This is based on sworn testimony and evidence submitted during the hearing which shows the
following:
a. The Board concurs with the staff report which outlines the twelve (12) review factors as
stated in the Unified Development Ordinance, specifically
1. Circulation: The request is for a Class I Mine. This parcel is accessed by a
proposed 60' access road, which will allow direct access to Royal Oak Road (SR

buffers will apply. Landscaping will be limited to vehicular use areas consistent
with Section 6.1.10.E. of the UDO, however no facilities requiring such are
proposed in the application.
