RE: Mining Permit No. 10-89
Herring Mine
Brunswick County
Dear Davis C. Herring Jr.:
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.

Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit modification request for the
above referenced project.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this operation having unduly
adverse effect on wildlife and freshwater fisheries (G.S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond by February 24,
2017 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 wildlife and freshwater fisheries 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.

Re: Herring Mine—Permit Modification
823 Robert Raurk Drive,Southport,Brunswick County, North Carolina
Mining Permit No. 10-89
Dear Judy:
Southern Environmental Group, Inc. (SEGi), on behalf of Mr. Davis C. Herring, Jr., (herein referred to as the
"Permittee") is submitting the enclosed NC Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources' (DEMLR)
Mining Permit Application and revised Mining Plan (see Attachment 1), for the purpose of modifying Mining
Permit No. 10-89.
The need for the modification is to include a 1.02-acre stockpile area, within the already permitted area. The
stockpile area will be located in an area currently dedicated to processingthaul roads; therefore neither the
affected nor the permitted area will increase.
Based on the issuance of the original mining permit and the fact that no changes in the mining operations are
proposed with this request for modification, the Permittee feels the project will not invoke any of the 7 denial
criteria listed under G.S. 74-51 of the Mining Act of 1971, which would be discussed during the review
Process. According G.S. 74-51, a $750.00 filing fee is required to process a modification request, for a project
with 26-acres or less of permitted area. Therefore, a check, in that amount, has been included with this
submittal (see Attachment 2).
It is SEGi's and the Permittee's sincere hope, that the information found within the application and mining
plan will allow the DEMLR to process the request and the permit will be renewed. However, if you find you
need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 910.228.1841 or email me at
dlutheranQse i.us.

Dana,
1 just got back to town. Sorry 1 didn't get to your email before I left.
i

CQuestldn 1: Is it necessary to include the stockpile as part of the mining permit, if the stockpile is not directly
associated with the mining operation?
The stockpile should be included on the mining permit and within the permit boundary. This is consistent with
the stockpiling of clean concrete at quarry sites.
Question 2: If it is necessary, what level of notification, if any, is required to modify the mining permit?
Permit modifications that increase acreage require notification of any adjoining landowners {for that section
being added} and the county manager.
hope this answers your questions.
Regards,
Janet

Hello, Janet.
I have a unique situation and a question (or two) revolving around it. Judy thought it best I reach out to you, as
it is more a policy question.
Mining Permit 10-89 covers only the excavation area and haul roads within its "Mining Permit Boundary" (see
attached mine plan). Mined dirt and sand are removed from the pit without ever being stockpiled. The property
owner allows the mine operator to use part of the property to stockpile concrete. The stockpile area is adjacent
to the Mining Permit Boundary and within the same property as the mine. The concrete scraps comes from
projects within the area (Oak Island, Southport, etc), where demolition has been undertaken. With that being
the case, the material neither meets the definition of"overburden" (i.e. "Overburden" means the earth, rock,
and other materials that lie above the natural deposit of minerals § 74-49(10)) nor the definition of"refuse"
("Refuse" means all waste soil, rock, mineral, scrap, tailings, slimes, and other material directly connected with
the mining, cleaning, and preparation of substances mined and shall include all waste materials deposited on
or in the permit area from other sources (§ 74-49(14)). Therefore, the stockpile does not meet the definition of
a "spoil bank" ("Spoil bank" means a deposit of excavated overburden or refuse (§ 74-49(16)). At no time is
mined material, such as overburden or refuse, being stored within the stockpile area.
Question 1: Is it necessary to include the stockpile as part of the mining permit, if the stockpile is not directly
associated with the mining operation?
Question 2: If it is necessary, what level of notification, if any, is required to modify the mining permit?
Thank you, in advance, for your time.

Dear Mr. Herring:
We have reviewed the modification request you submitted for the referenced mine site.
In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with GS
74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the additional or revised information in
accordance with the following comments:
1. The addition of the stockpile area is not within the current mining permit
boundary. You will have to resubmit your request by providing six copies of the
mining permit application, including the notification section of the application, and
six copies of the mine map. The application will have to be re-routed to the
appropriate agencies as is required by the Mining Act of 1971.
Provide proof, such as copies of the signed return receipts from certified mail,
that the county manager (and city if appropriate) and any new adjoining
landowner have been properly notified.
2. Provide erosion and sediment control for the new stockpile area. -
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
above have been fully addressed. In addition, please note this office may request additional
information, not included in this letter, as the mining application review progresses.

MINING PROGRAM
FROM: Gabrielle Chianese
Ground Water Management Branch
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Modification Request for:
Davis C. Herring
Herring Mine
Brunswick County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit modification request for the above referenced project.
There is not enough information provided in the application for the Herring mine located in Brunswick
County to know if they will have an unduly adverse effect on ground water supplies. Dewatering is
proposed on site, however, the amount to be dewatered was not included in the application and they
have not registered any water withdrawals with the Division of Water Resources.
If the mine pumps 100,000 gallons of water or more per day, they will need to re ister their water
withdrawals with the Division of Water Resources on an annual basis. The registration form may be
obtained from the following link:
http://www.ncwater.org/Permits—and_Registration/Water Withdrawal_and_Transfer Registration.
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute G.S. 143-21 S.22H. This statute 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 Aril 1 for the
previous year.
If you have further questions regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr with
the Division of Water Resources at(919) 707-9021 or email him at [e-mail].

Judy,
The only issue I have with the modification is that it appears on the map that the stockpile is outside the permit
boundary but within the property boundary but in the cover letter it says the stockpile is within the permit boundary.
This needs to be clarified.
I attached DWR and DAQ reviews
Let me know if you need anything else.

Re: Herring Mine—Permit Modification ,

823 Robert Raurk Drive,Southport, Brunswick County,North Carolina
Mining Permit No. 10-89
Dear Judy:
Southern Environmental Group, Inc. (SEGI), on behalf of Mr. Davis C. Herring, Jr., (herein referred to as the
"Permittee") is submitting the enclosed NC Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources' (DEMLR)
Mining Permit Application and revised Mining Plan (see Attachment 1), for the purpose of modifying Mining
Permit No. 10-89.
The need for the modification is to include a 1.02-acre stockpile area, within the already permitted area. The
stockpile area will be located in an area currently dedicated to processing/haul roads; therefore neither the
affected nor the permitted area will increase.
Based on the issuance of the original mining permit and the fact that no changes in the mining operations are
proposed with this request for modification,the Permittee feels the project will not invoke any of the 7 denial
criteria listed under G.S. 74-51 of the Mining Act of 1971, which would be discussed during the review
process. According G.S. 74-5 I, a $750.00 filing fee is required to process a modification request, for a project
with 26-acres or less of permitted area. Therefore, a check, in that amount, has been included with this
submittal (see Attachment 2).
It is SEGi's and the Permittee's sincere hope, that the information found within the application and mining
plan will allow the DEMLR to process the request and the permit will be renewed. However, if you find you
need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 910,228.1841 or email me at
dlutheran a,segims.
Sincerely

Dear Mr. Herring: .
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. 10-89 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 September 20 2023. 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 and affected acreage for this site are both 25.49
acres as indicated on the mine map last revised July 28, 2013.
Please review the permit and contact Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, at
[phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.

RE: Mining Permit Application Review -
Davis C. Herring, Jr. -
Proposed Herring Mine
Brunswick County
Recommendations: The staff of the Land Quality Section (LQS) has completed its review of
the above referenced application and recommends that it be approved with certain conditions
as provided for under G.S. 74-51. A draft permit document is attached for your review and
consideration.
Review Procedure: The staff of the Land Quality Section reviewed the permit application
which was submitted on September 6, 2012 and all supplemental information filed subsequent
to the initial application. Furthermore, personnel from the Division of Archives and History,
Division of Water Quality, Division of Air Quality, Division of Water Resources, Division of
Parks and Recreation, Division of Marine Fisheries, Geological Survey, Division of Soil and
Water Conservation, Wildlife Resources Commission, and US Fish and Wildlife Services were
also afforded the opportunity to comment on the proposal.
In addition to the governmental agency input noted above, a public hearing was held on the
proposal on November 15, 2012 at the Brunswick County Administrative Building's
Commissioners' Meeting Room in Bolivia, NC. A summary of the public comments was made
by Dr. Ken Taylor, Hearing Officer. A copy of the summary was provided to you earlier under
separate cover and a copy is on file with the Land Quality Section.

An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer—50%Recycled 110%Post Consumer Paper

Findings: All of the information obtained to date was reviewed with respect to G.S. 74-51 (1-
7):
(1) "That any requirement of this Article or any rule promulgated hereunder will be
violated by the proposed operation;"
There is no evidence to suggest that the proposed operation will violate the Act
as there are over 580 sand and gravel mines presently under permit in the State
that comply with the requirements of the Act.
(2) "That the operation will have unduly adverse effects on potable groundwater
supplies, wildlife or fresh water, estuarine, or marine fisheries;"
A detailed erosion and sediment control plan adequately addresses
sedimentation and stormwater runoff from disturbed areas - see Operating
Condition No. 4.
The N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission and US Fish and Wildlife Service both
had no comment on the application. No comments were received from the
Division of Marine Fisheries.
(3) "That the operation will violate standards of air quality, surface water quality, or
groundwater quality that have been promulgated by the Department;"
Operating Conditions Nos. 1 and 2 of the draft permit require, respectively, that
the operation comply with state water and air quality regulations. Operating
Condition No. 5 requires monitoring well installation and reporting to ensure that
any potential impacts to ground water can be observed and mitigated.
The Division of Water Resources also requires registration of ground water
withdrawals and the permit applicant has been advised of such requirements.
(4) "That the operation will constitute a direct and substantial physical hazard to
public health and safety or to a neighboring dwelling house, school, church,
hospital, commercial or industrial building, public road or other public property,
excluding matters relating to use of a public road;
Operating Condition No. 7 requires slopes to be graded at an acceptable angle.
Screening berms along the existing subdivision are included in Operating
Condition No. 9. In addition, the proposed mining activities will not involve
blasting operations.

(5) "That the operation will have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a
publicly owned park, forest or recreation area;"
The only park within five miles of the site was contacted on November 29, 2012
and no response from the agency was received. The previous single source
borrow pit at the site appears to have had no effect on nearby parks.
(6) "That previous experience with similar operations indicates a substantial
possibility that the operation will result in substantial deposits of sediment in
stream beds or lakes, landslides, or acid water pollution;"
A detailed sediment and erosion control plan has been developed for this site
and should provide adequate protection to the surrounding environment.
Specific buffer zones and cut/fill slopes have been incorporated into the draft
permit to provide adequate protection against slope failures at this site - see
Operating Condition No. 7.
(7) That the applicant or any parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate of the applicant or
parent has not been in substantial compliance with this Article, rules adopted
under this Article, or other laws or rules of this State for the protection of the
environment or has not corrected all violations that the applicant or any parent,
subsidiary, or other affiliate of the applicant or parent may have committed under
this Article or rules adopted under this Article and that resulted in:
a. Revocation of a permit,
b. Forfeiture of part or all of a bond or other security,
C. Conviction of a misdemeanor under G.S. 74-64,
d. Any other court order issued under G.S. 74-64, or
e. Final assessment of a civil penalty under G.S. 74-64.
This is not applicable as the operator has had no such prior mining violations in
the State.
Conclusions: There is no evidence to indicate that the proposed operation will violate any part
of G.S. 74-51 (1-7) as outlined and reviewed above.

Re: Herring Mine (Draft Permit)
Brunswick County
Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Mr. Herring:
Your application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been
reviewed but not yet approved. Enclosed is a draft of the mining permit proposed by the
Department. The conditions in the draft permit were based primarily upon information
supplied in your application. Other necessary conditions may have been added to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted
on the mine map last revised July 28, 2013 (see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for
this site is $25,600.00. The bond is required before the permit can be issued. For your
convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings account form and an
irrevocable standby letter of credit form. The name on the security form must be the same as
the name appearing on the enclosed draft permit, i.e., Davis C. Herring, Jr. In addition to one
of these alternatives you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and the reclamation bond worksheet, and
contact this office should you have any objections or questions concerning the permit
conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a
notice of the required bond in which to file the required surety.
The permit cannot be issued until the required security has been received. No mining
may be conducted until the permit is issued. 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.

RE: Response to June 13, 2013 ADI Letter
Herring Mine
Brunswick County
Dear Judy,
Following are responses to your June 13, 2013 letter requesting additional
information for the Herring Mine in Brunswick County.
1. In a recent discussions with Dan Sams and Trent James by telephone, the only
active erosion and sedimentation control plan at this site is excavation within the
proposed mine permit boundary that is an offsite borrow project that was
approved under an erosion and sedimentation control plan approved for a nearby
airport project. Once the mining permit is issued, the activity within the mine
permit boundary will be removed from the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act
and will then be under the Mining Act.
2. The NPDES permit application and the O & M plan has been submitted and is
under review by the Division of Water Quality at this time.
3. The water levels in the monitoring wells will be measured prior to dewatering
activities and will be measured every 30 days for six months and at that time the
data will be evaluated and to see if the monitoring schedule can be decreased.
Sincerely
Floyd R. Williams PG, CPESC, CPG

Dear Mr. Herring:
We have reviewed the application and additional information you submitted for the
referenced mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing
your application:
1. As previously requested, revise the mine map to clearly show the location of the
previously approved erosion and sediment control plan and what areas will
remain under the approved erosion control plan. In addition, revise the Pit Cross
Section to show a maximum depth of 25 feet.
2. As previously requested, provide proof that you have an approvable Operation &
Monitoring Plan from the Division of Water Quality. In addition, provide proof you
have obtained an approvable NPDES permit from the Division of Water Quality.
3.. Provide monitoring and reporting schedule for the Shallow and Deep monitoring
wells that are to be used to protect nearby wetland and ground water supplies.
4. Please note that the letter dated May 24, 2013 submitted with the supplemental
information does not address the March 21, 2013 sent from this office. It refers
to the letter previously dated November 20, 2013.

Judy,
A change in the mine depth from 30'-25' is mentioned in the letter of response from Floyd Williams and is not reflected
on the mine map.
It states a dewatering plan has been submitted to DWQ for approval. At the WIRO level, that is not the case according to
Chad Coburn.Although he said it could have been dealt with in Raleigh, i think we need to follow up with that to ensure
the proper DWQ permits.
Let me know if you have any questions.

RE: Proposed Herring Mine

Dear Judy,
This letter is in response to your November 12, 2012, letter requesting
additional information re: the application review for the Herring Mine.
I. Adjacent dwellings are shown on the revised mine map. Many
of the adjoining lots do not have dwellings on them. The revised
mine map indicates areas that have not been covered under an
Erosion & Sedimentation Control Plan (ESCP). The remainder
of the tract is covered under an ESCP.
The access road now extends to the State maintained road as
shown on the revised map.
2. Villanova Loop Road is owned by the applicant. It has been in
their family for years.
3. The area where the mine is to be located has been cleared under
an ESCP. Mining will begin in Phase I and continue through
Phase II & III until mining is complete. A 6" pump will be
utilized as the main dewatering pump. A dewatering basin will
be located below the southeast end of Phase I which will result
in water being discharged from the site. Proper permit appli-
cations are being filed with the Div. of Water Quality (DWQ).

4. Two deep (approximately 25') monitoring wells will be installed be-
tween it and property line on the west side of the site. Two shallow
monitoring wells will be installed in the wetland located near the pit
on the southeast side. As noted above, a 6" pump will be utilized
with the daily amount of water discharged being 500,000 gallons or
less. If necessary, a small pump will be utilized to recharge wetland
areas.
The depth of the mine has been reduced from 30' to 25'.
5. Dust will be controlled by utilizing a water truck or other water app-
lication equipment.
6. I have met with Chad Coburn, DWQ. The revised mine map wetland
area that he was concerned about has been adjusted to his satisfaction.
An Operation & Monitoring Plan has been filed with DWQ-WIRO.
the General Permit for discharging water pumped from the mine area
is being filed with DWQ.
7. A ± 9' high screening berm is located along the west side of the tract of
land which was constructed under an approved ESCP. At your request,
revised mine map shows the berm areas as part of the mine permit boun-
dary. A locked gate exists at the access road.
8. The existing ± 9' high berm along the west side of the site is shown on
the revised mine map as being part of the mine permit boundary. This
will act as a screening berm during the life of the mine operation. Others
have natural forest such that no additional screening is necessary.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.

Judy,
I'm going to hit each item on the ADI letter and also any other concerns.
1. The revised map does not show where erosion and sedimentation control plans are located.There are actually 2
on the property. One (Bruns-2012-042) is associated with the airport project directly across the street and is
included within their limits of disturbance.The second (Bruns-2011-042) is from Mr. Herring and encompasses a
significant portion of the remaining tract. Also it is unclear whether the berm is too be included in the'mine snap
or keep it under the current plan.
2. The affected acreage for the haul road did not change on the new map,just wanted to make sure this is
accurate with the addition of Villanova Loop Rd. It seems to add up to about 1.6 acres to me.
3. Under Mr. Herring erosion and sedimentation control plan drainage swales have been constructed throughout
the property. As long as these are not used for dewatering or otherwise allowing sediment to leave the mining
permit area then erosion and sedimentation control should be minimum.
4. The revised map shows a new dewatering pump and basin,this needs to be included within the mining area.
Also it is unclear how the basin was sized and if it will be adequate.
5. No comment to his response.
6. 1 spoke with Chad with DWQ and he received the 0&M plan but not sure if he has reviewed it yet.
7. No comment to his response.
8. No comment to his response.
Let me know if you have any questions.

RE: Proposed Herring Mine
Brunswick County
Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Judy,
This letter is in response to your November 29, 2012, letter to Mr. Davis C.
Herring, Jr. requesting additional information re: the Application for a Mining
Permit for the Herring Mine in Brunswick County.
Following are responses to the eight (S) items listed in your letter:
1. Adjoining property dwellings are shown on the revised mine map.
Please note that many of the adjoining lots do now have dwellings
on them. All dwellings are connected to public water. The site is
under an approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. A
request to remove the proposed mine area from the Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act to the Mining Act is in progress. The revised
mine map now shows Villanova Loop Road as being within the
mine permit boundary.
2. The applicant, Mr. Davis C. Herring, Jr., and his sister, Mary H.
Childs, own the Villanova Loop Road right of way. A Land Entry
Agreement for the road is not applicable in this case.
3. The initial clearing of the proposed area was accomplished under
an approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. It is my
opinion that no sediment control measures are necessary for the

r

mining area. Villanova Loop Road is already provided with
crushed stone. An application to discharge water pumped from
the mine area is being filed with the Division of Water Quality.
The proposed depth of the mine has been reduced to 25'.
4. The revised mine map shows detail and approximate location
of dewatering pump and dewatering basin. A six (6") inch pump
will be utilized to dewater the mine area. The pump capacity will
be around 1,400 gallons/minute with 500,000 gallons being the
maximum amount of water discharged from the site on any given
day. Pumping will be held to just under 6 hours/day. The two
areas of wetlands near the proposed pit will be monitored as re-
quired by the Division of Water Quality and recharged as necessary
by mine water. There will be no impacts to adjoining properties
from the dewatering activities.
5. A water truck will be available and will be utilized if necessary to
suppress dust.
6. I have meet with Chad Colburn with the Water Quality Section and
the revised mine map has been adjusted to show the corrected wet-
land alignment that Chad mentioned. As mentioned above, a draft
Operation & Monitoring Plan has been sent to Chad for his review.
Also, the Application to Discharge (NPDES) is being mailed to Di-
vision of Water Quality in Raleigh.
7. A ± 12' high berm has been provided under the approved Erosion
and Sediment Control Plan along the west side of the site which acts
as a visual screen and prevents access from the homes adjacent to
the west side of the site.
8. The berm mentioned above is adequate for screening. Only one
home exists along the south side of the site and natural vegetation
screens the property.

Dear Mr. Herring:
We have reviewed the application you submitted for the referenced mine site. However,
the following information is needed to continue processing your application:
1. Revise the mine map to show the location of the dwellings on adjoining property,
any wells on any adjoining properties, and the location of the previously
approved erosion and sediment control plan. In addition, clearly include within
the permit boundary the access road to its intersection with the state maintained
road.
2. If Villanova Loop Road is not'a state maintained road, obtain a land entry
agreement for all owners, right-of-way or easement holders of said road.
3. Provide a more detailed mine plan that includes the mining phases. The
application refers to pumping pit to pit but does not indicate more than one pit.
Provide erosion and sediment control measures for the initial clearing phase and
subsequent phases. Explain how the 30 foot mine depth will be achieved without
discharging of pit water. Provide the storage area of the receiving ponds, leaving
a freeboard of one foot below the surrounding ground surface, if no discharge is
proposed.

SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Davis C. Herring Jr.
Herring Mine
Brunswick County
Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit application request for the
above referenced project.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this operation having
unduly adverse effect on wildlife and freshwater fisheries (G.S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond by
October 1, 2012 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 wildlife and freshwater fisheries 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. RETURN ALL APPLICATION MATERIALS
AND MAPS WITH YOUR REVIEW COMMENTS TO THIS OFFICE.
Your continued cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please contact Ms. Judy Wehner at
[phone] if you have any questions.

Subject: RE: Oak Island Proposed Sand Mining Permit
Jeff—Here is background information provided by Div. of Water Quality and Div. of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources:
Originally, the site did not require a mining permit because it fell under the single source borrow exemption in
the Mining Act. Under that exemption, no mining permit is required for sites providing borrow material for a
single construction project— in this case, the airport. For the time that it served as a single source borrow site,
it was covered by an approved erosion and sediment control plan that was tied to the airport's approved plan for
land disturbing activities. You can find the exemption in G.S. 74-49(7) which defines "mining" and also lists a
number of activities that do not constitute mining.
The owner of the borrow site has now applied for a mining permit to allow him to sell material to buyers other
than the airport. The Div, of Energy, Mining and Land Resources (DEMLR) received the mining permit
application on September 6, 2012; the applicant has requested a permit for 22.54 acres. The proposed depth of
the mine is estimated to be 30 feet below natural ground level. The applicant has told DWQ that there will not
be a discharge associated with dewatering of the borrow areas; the water will be pumped from pit to pit to avoid
a discharge. The intended reclamation is to convert the final pit to a lake area with vegetated side slopes.
The mining permit application has been routed to several state and federal agencies for review and comment.
In light of the significant public interest in the application, the director of the Division of Energy, Mining and
Land Resources has already decided to hold a public hearing on the permit application. Once arrangements for
the public hearing have been finalized, DEMLR will give notice to all adjoining landowners, the local
government-and citizens who have sent letters regarding this project. Notice will also be published in the local
newspaper outlining the date, time, location and format.of the public hearing. Under the provisions of the
Mining Act, the hearing must be held by December 5. (The hearing date is linked to the date the permit
application is submitted and the 30-day period within which members of the public can request a public hearing
on the application.)
In answer to your third question, G.S. 74-51(d)(4) says that a mining permit can be denied if "the operation
will constitute a direct and substantial physical hazard to public health and safety or to a neighboring dwelling
house, school, church, hospital, commercial or industrial building, public road or other public property,
excluding matters relating to use of a public road".
Let me know if you need any more information.

Subject: Oak Island Proposed Sand Mining Permit
Robin,
We've gotten a legislative inquiry about a proposed sand mine in the Town of Oak Island. It appears that:
• The parcel in questions is 112 acres owned by Davis Herring on the mainland side of the town near the
Brunswick County Airport.
• Mr, Herring has already been engaging in some land disturbing activity in the development of the parcel and
is arranging to sell excess sand to the airport.
• The parcel is near/adjoins several residential neighborhoods.
Has DENR received any water quality, sedimentation, or mining permit applications for these activities? If so,
what is the status of the applications? Could proximity to residential neighborhoods impact any of the permit
decisions? Any other information you could provide on this that you think would be helpful would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
Dear Senator Rabon and Representative Iler,
We live near property which abuts the area where an application for a sand mining permit is located.
It is outrageous that this area, which adjoins many residential neighborhoods and is currently itself
zoned as residential, consider an alternative which will negatively impact all surrounding it and may
bring devastating harm to the aquifer from which Brunswick County gets its water. Please read the two
letters below--the second one is ours (Roger & Gerie Whitney). We hope you will do all in your power and
influence to help DENY this application. We will await your reply.
Sincerely, Roger& Gerie Whitney

Dear Senator Rabon and Representative Iler,
We are writing to both of you today to ascertain whether or not either or both of you is aware of the recent
z .

application for a surface sand mine thatfuld be located on Oak Island. We arefiring with you specifics of a
certified letter dated September 5 and received September 7. The letter specifies notification of intent to "apply
to the NC Department of Environment &Natural Resources for a Sand Mine Permit (specifically a new surface
mining permit) ...within the Town of Oak Island in Brunswick County." The property for this permit abuts St.
James Plantation, VilIanova Loop Road, Glen Oak Subdivision, and is approximately .5 miles north-northwest
of the Brunswick County Airport. The letter states that "Any person may file written comment(s) to the
Department (NC Department of Environment&Natural Resources) ...within thirty (30) days of the issuance of
this Notice (September 5) or the filing of the application for a permit, whichever is later. If"sufficient public
interest exists...a public hearing will be held within 60 days of the end of the 30-day comment period specified
above."
We are not knowledgeable about surface sand mining and have been quite busy trying to understand the topic.
What seems implausible is the ability of an individual to apply for such a permit on land, 112+ acres, zoned for
single family housing AND in a historically residential and tourist community that peripherally already has a
concrete company, ammunition depot, nuclear energy facility, and has tried to get a port! Extensive land has
been cleared to the periphery of this property, well outside the diagram included in the certified letter. Why is
that?
We have questions, facts we have learned, concerns, and opinions regarding this incredibly shocking situation.
We chose this area for retirement 12 years ago and fail to understand how this could even be considered.
For your review we have attached copies of the certified letter which only went to a small number of people,
including us. Following our letter is a second Ietter explaining in outstanding understandable detail another
perspective of this situation.
We thank you for making time to read this correspondence in its entirety and hope you will immediately write
letters, due in Raleigh on October 4, to object to a surface sand mine in the backyard of so many people.

What agencies are involved inking out for the greater good of the in4diate communities affected
and Brunswick County?
What we are learning:
Surface mining is a broad category of HYPERLINK "htti)://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining"mining in
which soil and/or rock overlying the desired product is removed. It is the opposite of HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikip_edia.org/wiki/Under round_mining"underground mining, in which the overlying surface is left
in place, and the desired product removed through shafts or tunnels.
In most forms of surface mining, heavy equipment (LOTS OF THAT AND NOISE!), such as
HYPERLINK "http:Hen.wikiyedia.orglwiki/Engineering vehicle"earthmovers, first removes the overburden.
Next, huge machines, such as HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wi_k-i/Dra lg ine excavator"dragline
excavators or HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipe_dia.orgZwiki/Bucket_wheel_excavator"Bucket wheel excavators,
extract whatever is being mined.
The environmental impact of mining includes HYPERLINK
"htta:Hen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion"erosion, formation of HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinkhole"sinkholes, loss of HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikil2edia.org/wiki[BiodiversitX"biodiversity, contamination of soil, HYPERLINK
"littp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater"groundwater and HYPERLINK
"htti):Hen.wiki2edia.org/wiki/SLirface water"surface water by chemicals from mining processes. (THIS
ACREAGE IS ADJACENT TO BRUNSWICK COUNTY WATER SUPPLY.)
In some cases, additional forest logging (LOTS OF THAT) is done in the vicinity of mines to increase the
available room for the storage of the created debris and soil. (THAT WOULD CONTAIN WHAT???)
Besides creating environmental damage, contamination resulting from leakage of chemicals also affects
the health of the local population.
Mining (in a populated area) can produce HYPERLINK
"httl2://en.wikipedia.org/wiki[Noise ollution"noise pollution, dust pollution and HYPERLINK
"htt ://en.wiki edia.or wikiNisual ollution"visual pollution. (THE EFFECTS OF THAT ARE ALREADY
CLEARLY EVIDENCED.)
The effects of leaching of toxic substances into soil and HYPERLINK
"http://www.chow.com/info 8464679 environmental-effects-silica-sand-mining html"water and the poisoning
of wildlife is dangerous and DIFFICULT TO MEASURE.
Mercury, a known carcinogen, DIFFICULT TO MEASURE, is a byproduct of the mining industry.
The metamorphosis of frogs, changing from a tadpole to an adult, can be used as an indicator of water
pollution, and therefore is potentially harmful.
Our immediate concerns:
0 Zoning and land use changes
0 Jurisdiction over any and all factors of this situation
0 More industry in a heavily residential area •
0 Unknown and immeasurable environmental dangers (precedents exist in several other states)
0 Unknown and immeasurable health dangers
0 Occupational lung diseases due to proximity to area
0 Water pollution and increased cost for clean water
0 Noise pollution, lack of laws for noise pollution, and impact on those nearest property already
4

0 Air pollution and impact on those nett property already
0 Leaching toxic chemicals into nearby water supply
0 Damage and excessive wear to roads from trucking traffic and subsequent costs
0 Public safety concerns from the volume of truck traffic and subsequent costs
0 Negative impact on tourism and subsequent loss of revenue
0 Negative impact on home values and subsequent loss of growth to the area
By even considering this request, the applicant nor the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources has the best interest of the greater community in mind. Rather, the applicant is seeking a way to
make a profit at a huge and long lasting expense to the greater community since the sale of said acreage, we are
told, fell through a few years ago. We've heard everything from housing community, to hunting preserve, to
wanting to build lakes to make the land more saleable or to expand hunting opportunities, some of which sound
much closer than the 270 yards we are told is required from a residence.
In our opinion, the applicant and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources have
become a joint harbinger of what this community does not need, more industry in a heavily populated area that
will immeasurably and negatively impact all who choose to call this home now and for the foreseeable future.

RE: New Surface Mining Permit by Davis Herring with Town of Oak Island in Brunswick County
We live in a community, St. James Plantation, which abuts the property of Davis Herring. We strongly request
that a permit for new surface mining be DENIED. There are many reasons for our request: environmental
issues, quality of life issues, property value issues, etc. Sand mining will result in negative impact in all these
areas of concern to all residents and businesses adjoining this property.
There has already been environmental damage to the area due to the past year's activities on the Herring
property—deforestation, excavating soil, altering water flow patterns, and building a "debris hill" which they
have called a"berm." In reality this "berm" consisted of piled up branches and uprooting resulting from the
initial bulldozing of trees. This complete removal right up to property lines was done on Memorial Day
weekend of 2011, without any prior notification or explanation (or justification we feel). We were told at that
time that this land, which previously had been described as wetlands, forever natural, was destroyed for a quail-
hunting business—although even then we were at a loss to understand how total removal of native trees could
help quail hunting. Again, this deforestation was done right up to the adjoining property lines, with no buffer—
which we will discuss later.
Those of you charged with protecting the environment are asked to consider the negative effects now of this
proposed sand mining:
1. Air quality—these mining sites "have two types of air emissions. The first is dirt that may be emitted
during the mining and handling of sand. The second is from various pollutants emitted from equipment used to
mine, handle and/or process sand." (SC Research& Essays, Vol.6(6) pp. 1216-1231, 18 March 2011).
Dust pollution alone is harmful to those living near this, never mind any contaminants that may also be stirred
up and released into the air. Careful monitoring will need to be done on a daily basis to prevent harm to those
living or working in surrounding areas. We are told in the application "A water truck will be available, if
needed, for any potential dust problems." Will the presence of a water truck be sufficient for any dust problems,
of course depending on what contaminants are exposed and the wind currents at the time? Have they applied for
5

an air quality permit? Is there a Divisio*Air Quality to monitor all on a daily*s?Arc those who may issue
the permit also willing to reimburse us for any health problems which may arise?
2. Water quality—Prior to sand removal, a thorough study should be undertaken of potentially harmful toxic
sediment contaminants which could be dispersed to the air or the groundwater. Sand deposits are linked to one
another so that addition or removal of sand from one area affects all other environments, "If sand mining
operations are performed below the water table, they may require significant groundwater pumping in order to
dewater the active mining area. This can lead to an increased potential for impacts to groundwater and surface
water resources." (SC Research & Essays, Vol. 6 (6), pp. 1216-1231, 18 March 2011).
"Another effect...is modification of the recharge area for groundwater by changing the land surface...Such
changes may increase or decrease rainwater recharge to groundwater. Shorter flow paths pay increase
susceptibility to contamination while redirected flow paths may deplete total recharge of the aquifer."
(Peckinham,Thorton,& Whalen, 2009). The deforestation which was done in 2011 has already resulted in
altering natural water flow and creating flooding on neighboring properties. We received no notification of
pending permits before that was done in 2011--and are left wondering if environmental issues/impacts were
addressed then. The land in question sits on top of the Castle Hayne aquifer from which Brunswick County gets
water. We are rightfully concerned about contaminants such as mercury and other carcinogens and chemicals
getting into the water supply, not only for neighbors to the property but for all who get their water supplied by
Brunswick County. In the actual applications for the Herring property, the box is marked YES next to the
question, "Will any part of proposed mine excavation extend below the water table?" The application goes on
to say"Applicant plans, if needed, to pump from one pit to another. No mine water discharge from the site will
take place." Is this a guarantee? How can they KNOW so surely that no water discharge will take place? Who
will be held responsible and accountable if the water supply is proved tainted in the future and has caused health
problems and/or death to those exposed?
3. Biodiversity and protection of endangered species-- Physical disturbance of the habitat includes
generation of noise, which can interrupt nesting/breeding activities of native species. Other effects include
destruction of the habitat for foraging and nesting, as well as increased exposure to contaminants. What is
harmful or toxic to animals also applies to humans. However, here we are talking about destroying the natural
habitat of various native species. Again, we are made to wonder about the quail—we were told last year that
the deforestation was done to improve quail hunting—we cannot think that sand mining and the heavy
equipment which it will bring can still encourage the quail, or any other species in that area or any surrounding.
When we purchased our property, we were told that other than clearing the area needed to build our home, the
trees on the property could not be cut down by our choice because the red-cockaded woodpecker was an
endangered species and so protected in this area. We wonder why the Herring property is exempt from those
prohibitions? What about wood storks, copley's meadowrue, rough-leaved loosestrife and all other species of
flora and fauna that according to federal law should be protected?
4. Quality of life—The quality of life of surrounding housing and businesses will be affected by ANY
negative impact to the air or water supply. Further, the presence of sand mining so near residential areas will
lower home values—certainly prospective buyers will not choose to live adjoining a sand mine with the heavy
equipment, noise pollution, increased truck and vehicle traffic, and impact on nearby roads. Beyond this, most
of us who live here chose this area specifically to enjoy the natural beauty and quiet of this area. "Quality of
Life" describes an environment of pure air to breathe, pure water, free of noise pollution, and the tranquility of
living in balance with surrounding nature. Sand mining does not"fit in" with a residential community. We
realize its value to our society but it should be restricted to industrialized areas or areas not zoned as residential.
The application for the sand mining includes a requirement that"a minimum 50' undisturbed buffer will be
maintained between the affected area and wetlands that have been delineated on site" and also that a"minimum
6

50' buffer will be required between anyt-disturbing activities within the mini*ermit boundaries and any
natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller undisturbed buffers can be justified..."
The applicant responds that"a minimum undisturbed buffer will be maintained between mine permit boundary
and any wetlands." We do not feel that this was done in 2011 and are not reassured it will be done in the
future. Further, even with a 50' buffer, quality of life in the area will be forever altered. Again, would anyone
CHOOSE to live in an area knowing that it adjoins a sand mining operation and all that that entails?
We residents implore the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources to DENY this application.
At the very least, we call for a public hearing, before an approval, to investigate our concerns and justify why
this area should be rezoned and mining permitted. We understand that since 2011 when trees were razed all
along adjoining properties, there has been ongoing mining done without necessary permits up until May of this
year. We would also like these allegations addressed and necessary legal action taken. This property, parcel
#225000019, is currently zoned R-75 (residential per the Brunswick County website). We ask your
Department to conduct hearings and investigate all that has happened so far and how this area and its residents
will be impacted if sand mining is permitted. However, we hope that you will DENY this application now
based on the issues raised in our letters to your department. Thank you for your consideration of our requests.

Subject: RE: Questions about sand mine in Oak Island
Robin,
As indicated in the emails from Jim Gregson attached to Chuck's email, this site did have a single source borrow
exemption from the Mining Act/mining permit requirements (as it was providing material for one project—the airport).
This site was covered by`an approved erosion and sediment control plan that was tied to the airport's approved plan for
its land disturbing activities.
The owner is now pursuing a mining permit to enable him to sale material to anyone who is interested. The mining
permit application was received in our office on September 6, 2012 requesting that 22.54 acres be covered by a mining
permit. The proposed depth of the mine is estimated to be 30 feet below natural ground level. As indicated by DWQ,
the applicant intends to pump water from pit to pit to avoid a discharge from the site. The intended reclamation is to
convert the final pit to a lake area with vegetated side slopes. The application has been routed to several state and
federal agencies for review and comment.
In light of the significant public interest(letters) we have received requesting a public hearing and voicing environmental
concerns related to the proposed mining operation, I have already made the determination that a public hearing will be
held (the 30 day comment period to request a hearing ends on October 6). Staff will begin making the arrangements for
this public hearing and notice will be given to all adjoining landowners,the local government and those citizens who
have sent us a letter regarding this project. In addition, notice will be published in the local newspaper outlining the
date, time, location and format of the public hearing. The hearing must be held within 60 days of the end of the 30 day
public comment period to request a hearing, which means the hearing must be held by December 5.
Please advise if you need more information.

Subject: Questions about sand mine in Oak Island
1

Tracy, Braxton and Chuck—I received some questions about a proposed sand mine in Oak Island. (The questions have
been forwarded-by legislative staff on behalf of a citizen who contacted their local legislator with concerns.)
As I understand it,the parcel in question is 112 acres owned by Davis Herring on the mainland side of the town near the
Brunswick County Airport.The concerned citizen believes that Mr. Herring has already been engaging in some land
disturbing activity in the development of the parcel and is arranging to sell excess sand to the airport. Reportedly, the
parcel is near/adjoins several residential neighborhoods.
Can you tell me whether you have received any CAMA, water quality, sedimentation, or mining applications for these
activities?
If so, what is the status of the applications?
Could proximity to residential neighborhoods impact any of the permit decisions?
Any other information you could provide on this that you think would be helpful would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The NCGO10000 was issued automatically with the S&EC Plan approval. The S&ECs and the NGG010000 may go away if
they are replaced with the one mining permit. DEMLR can't have a S&EC and a mining permit for the same project. The
existing pond was a single source borrow site for the airport expansion and was covered under the airport's S&EC Plan.
They indicate in the mine application that there will be no discharge from dewatering the pit. They are proposing to
pump from pit to pit to avoid a discharge therefore no NCG020000 should be required.
For State Stormwater—the haul road for the borrow pit may have been covered under the airport's Stormwater Permit
I am checking on that). Oak Island has a Phase II Program and may have issued the permit. We are no longer notified of
S&EC Plan approvals by DEMLR (as of three years ago)so the Herring S&EC Plan would normally have been processed as
an exemption (no built upon area) but it is not showing up in BIMS either because we did not know about the S&EC Plan
approval or the Town issued it. Will check with the Town and update you when I find out.

Jim - Please clarify permit status. Is the NCG010000 issued? Is a 404/401 required? If so, what is status? Is aan isolated
wetland permit required? i guess that's to be determined by Chad's review? What about wastewater and stormwater?

Chuck,
We did an inspection last Friday for the DEMLR Mine Review and for the NCG010000 Permit.They have not started the
excavation of the sand pit yet.There were some inconsistencies with the wetland delineation that was on the Mine

Application and those approved by the Corps. There is an existing pond on the property that was dug under an S&E Plan
by Mr. Herring(Bruns-2011-042) It is my understanding that the airport also has a S&E Plan for part of this property
(Bruns—2012-042). We have received several complaints from a property owner in St.James Plantation who owns a lot
that backs up to the Mr. Herrings property. The inspection of the site also revealed that one of the ditches on the
property is probably draining a 0.5 acre isolated wetland area. Chad is following up on the wetland issues as well as the
NCGO1000 inspection (records and rain gage not available). I have attached some photos of the site from last Friday.
