RE: Mining Permit No. 99-09
Tarheel Sand Mine#53
Yadkin County
Dear T diheei Sand & Stone 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
adiustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this office or addressed during vour next requested hermit 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,

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 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.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
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 the 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.

Dear Mr. Adams:
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 revised mine map (see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is

have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings account form and an irrevocable

appearing on the enclosed draft permit, i.e., Aaron Sand & Gravel, a Division of Tarheel
Sand & Stone, Inc.. 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.

Dear Ms. Harris:
Subject: Mining Permit Application for Aaron Sand and Gravel, Mine 468, Yadkin County,
North Carolina
We received your letter dated October 7, 2014 (received October 17, 2014), requesting our
comments about the subject project. Please note that you sent the letter to our Raleigh hield
Office. They received it on October 14, 2014 and they then forwarded it to us and we received it
October 17, 2014. In the future, you would receive our responses in a more timely fashion ifs
remiests were sent to the nnnronriale office To assist von with this- attncherl it n litt of North
Carolina's counties showing which ones are handled by our respective offices in North Carolina.
Your letter asks that comments be returned to your office by October 31, 2014. Our policy is to
have responses to requests for comments mailed within 30 days of receipt of the request. The
quantity of projects we review generally does not allow for a quicker response. Asking for our
response in a shorter period would force us to give priority to some projects over others; we
respond to projects in the order received and will continue to do so. In the future, il'you would
like our response by a particular date, please ask far our comments at least one month in
advance. The following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq); Kish and Wildlife Coordination
Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as amended (16 U.S.C.
703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543)
/ A VX t�.
The subject project involves the application for a mining permit to operate a hydraulic dredge in
the Yadkin River in Yadkin County, North Carolina, to excavate sand. "I he permit application
describes the affected acreage to be impacted as 1.5 acres for a processing area and haul road,

0.30 acre for tailings/sediment ponds, 0.80 acre for stockpiles, 0.20 acre for wastepiles, and 10.2
acres for excavation.
We are opposed to any in-stream mining. Because of the detrimental effect of in-stream mining
to aquatic life, the North Carolina Chapter of the American Fisheries Society published a
position paper against the practice in 2002 (previously provided to you on multiple occasions).
In-stream mining, regardless of the method used, can result in numerous detrimental and
long-lasting environmental ef-fects. Some of the more devastating effects to stream
geomorphology are channel incision, lateral erosion, and head-cutting. The alteration of
geomorphic structure may occur due to increased velocity and the decreased sediment load
associated witl ' fined areas. Excavation in the active channel lowers the streambed, creating a
nick point that steepens the channel slope and increases 11ow. The nick point migrates upstream
due to increased water speed; i.e., head-cutting. The deposition of sediment at the mine site
results in a sediment deficient flow leaving the site; this, in turn, results in the stream picking up
and transporting channel bed material from the stream reach below the mine site, ultimately
resulting in channel cutting (incision). Channel incision can also cause lateral instability due to
increases in stream-bank heights, resulting in bank failure. Channel instability further increases
the transport of sediment downstream. Head-cutting and downstream channel incision affect the
stream for great distances and can also affect tributaries.
Effects that may be directly related to the proposed extraction and to the resulting changes in
geomorphology include increased sedimentation and turbidity, higher stream temperatures and
reduced oxygen, lowering of the water table, and decreased wet periods in riparian wetlands.
These physical changes cause the loss of riparian habitat; a reduction in primary productivity; a
reduction in food availability, and the clogging of the gills of, and direct damage to, aquatic
organisms. The loss of riparian vegetation will also lead to further bank destabilization and
increased water temperature and will be detrimental to other wildlife that uses riparian areas as
movement corridors. Also, as previously discussed, these effects can extend far upstream and
downstream and can be cumulative. All these adverse impacts can result in shifts in species
composition; a decrease in species diversity and abundance; and, likely, especially perilous
conditions for sensitive and rare species. Stream ecosystems recover slowly from the effects of �
sand extraction, and total recovery has been considered improbable.
Accordingly, we believe in-stream mining will likely result in the severe degradation of habitat
in the immediate mined area; cause turbidity problems within and downstream of the mined area;
induce head-cutting upstream and channel instability/incision within and downstream of the
mined area; and likely induce the loss of riparian vegetation. Therefore, we are concerned that
in-stream mining activities will result in the elimination of preferred habitat and a reduction in
the quantity and quality of food resources for aquatic species. Additionally, we are concerned
about the continued degradation of the Yadkin River, the cumulative impacts of the many
stressorc on the Varlle-n Pilfer wctrm tin(,hirlinn miiltinln in-stream cnnA mini+c that arP nr llnwP
been operating very near the subject mine), and the possibility of direct damage to aquatic
organisms that may move into or through this area.

and Natural Resources (NCDENR) decides to issue a permit for this mine, we request that the
following conditions be placed on the permit and that the results be sent to us and the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission:
• Aquatic habitat should be surveyed for the entire area (100 meters upstream of
the proposed mine site and 400 meters downstream of the proposed mine site)
to establish baseline conditions. Particular emphasis should be given to
mussels and fishes. Surveyors should be quaiified professionais, and sampling
for aquatic species should take place during periods of normal low flow and
good water clarity.
• General habitat measurements should be conducted on the date of sampling.
Reaches should include the entire area of the proposed mine site, upstream of
the proposed mine site, and downstream ofthe proposed mine site, totaling
three reaches. At a transect within each reach, the following measurements
should be recorded: water temperature (mean column), dissolved oxygen
concentration (mean column), turbidity, bank-full width (as described in
Rosgen 19961), channel width, bank height, and bank erosion. Physical habitat
variables for water velocity distribution, mean depth, substrate composition
(based on the modified Wentworth scale 2), and in-stream structure types
(cover) should be measured at intervals of four equally spaced points on each
transect. Additionally, riparian buffer widths should be measured per transect.
The number of transects needed should be determined using, the information
provided by Simonson et al. (1994)3.
• Fish and mussel surveys should be comprehensive, and accepted sampling
methods should be used to effectively sample both taxonomic groups.
Specimens should be documented for identification confirmation with color
digital photographs in JPEG format. All areas surveyed should be mapped.
• Camnlinu zhniilrl take nlaee after eae.h hank-hill event (channel-fnrmino flnw
Rosgen 1996) because it is likely that aquatic species would move through or

• Downstream turbidity and bank erosion rates should be measured periodically

an upstream reference site. The operator should maintain a record of all days
on which mining occurs and the amount and composition of material removed.

this area will cause the materials to be available for transport into the creek
during flood events.
• Sediment- and erosion-control structures should be maintained to minimize
impacts to the Yadkin River. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have many
detrimental effects on aquatic resources, including disruption of the food chain,
destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging the gills of
aquatic species.
Additionally, we strongly recommend that the bond fee for the "mine excavation" portion
of a bond for in-stream mines be increased to the maximum allowed (currently, $5,000
per acre). The repair of the impacts of an in-stream mine will more likely cost in the tens
of thousands of dollars per acre.
We are also concerned about the use of invasive exotic species (fescue. lespedeza, Bermuda
grass) in the reclamation and erosion control associated with this project. While many of the
exotic plant species typically used in reclamation and erosion-control efforts have proven
beneficial to some wildlife species, we now know that the invasive nature of these species
outweighs any short-term wildlife benefits they may provide. Exotic species are a major
contributor to species depletion and extinction, second only to habitat loss. Exotics are a factor
contributing to the endangered or threatened status of more than 40 percent of the animals and
plants on the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. It is estimated
that at least 4,000 exotic plant species and 2,300 exotic animal species are now established in the
United States, costing more than $130 billion a year to control. Additionally, the federal
government has many programs and laws in place to combat invasive species (see
vt,ww.invasivespecies.gov) and thus cannot spend money on or authorize projects that counter
these efforts. Specifically, Section 2(a)(3) of Executive Order 13112 - Invasive Species
(February 3, 1999) directs federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it
believes are likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the
United States or elsewhere." Despite their short-term erosion-control benefits, many exotic

Protecting wide forested riparian corridors is essential to the protection of water quality and
aquatic habitat. On virtually all projects, we strongly recommend undisturbed forested buffers
for all intennittent streams and wetlands (minimum of 50 feet wide) and perennial streams
(minimum of 100 feet wide). further, Executive Order 11988 requires federal agencies (or there
designated nonfederal representative) to consider and protect floodplain functions. The entire
project area is within the 100-year floodplain. We believe the recent examples of flooding
throughout North Carolina highlight the importance of avoiding the "long- and short-term
impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains" and that we should
"avoid direct and indirect support of floodplain development."
Based on the information provided and our knowledge ofthc area, we do not believe this project will
have any effect on federally listed threatened or endangered species. Therefore, we believe the
requirements under section 7 of the Act have been fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of
the Act must be reconsidered it' (I) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that
may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or(3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Because of the detrimental and generally irrecoverable impacts of in-stream mining, we are
opposed to the issuance of permits for this purpose. Unless these mining efforts are closely
monitored and adjustments are made (including ceasing operations when necessary), impacts
from such operations within, upstream, and downstream of the mine area could severely alter the
stream ecosystem. We strongly recommend that any permits for in-stream mining issued by the
NCDENR include the monitoring of both upstream and downstream stream reaches, with permit
conditions to adjust or cease operations if any of the aforementioned aquatic impacts are
detected.
Thank you for allowing us to provide these comments. Please keep us informed about the status
if this project. If we can be of assistance or if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Allen
Ratrlaff'of our staff at 829/258-3939, Ext. 229. In any future correspondence concerning this
project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-15-051.

Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: 29 October 2014
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Aaron Sand and Gravel, Mine 453 —Yadkin County,
North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC) have reviewed the
subject permit application. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act
of 1971 (as amended, 1982) (G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
The applicant is requesting a permit for mining sand and gravel with a hydraulic dredge. The
total permitted area would be 21.346 acres: According to information in the permit application, this mine
site has existed since 1997. The applicant indicates native grasses will be used to vegetate disturbed
[i1GAJ,an A.II UIlU1SLUiUGU UUIIGI AJ IGGL p F•g1GilLG1 WI11 UG iRil111Ld1uGU illVllg LUG 11vi-i!UiL1lA eXl:GI.JL dL LI1G
boat ramp, discharge pipe(s), etc. The operation will involve washing the mined material. River water,
sand and gravel will pass through a screen to remove trash and gravel; the sand is dewatercd as it stacks.
Water returns to the river after retentiori'and clarification in a sediment'basin. A weir is used to•control
water velocity as water is discharged from the sediment basin. It is likely the site would be returned to
agricultural use following reclamation.
The proposed mine site is located on the Yadkin River. There are records for the federal species
of concern and state endangered brook floater(Alasmidonta varicosa), the state threatened creeper
(Strophitus undulatus},and the state significantly rare quillback (Carpoides cyprinus) in Yadkin River
upstream of the site.
Research has shown that instream sand and gravel mining, including hydraulic dredge mining,
can result in numerous detrimental and long last1nge' nvirmen orital effects (Bork 1999; Roeil 1999; Brown
et al. 1998; Meador and Layher 1998; Hartfield 1993;Nelson 1993; Kanehl and Lyons 1992;,and
references therein). Impacts to stream geomorphology include channel"incision, lateral erosion, and
headcutting due to increased velocity and decreased sediment load associated with mined areas.
Excavation in the active channel lowers the streambed, creating a nick point that steepens channel slope
and increases flow. The nick point migrates upstream due to increased water speed (i.e., headcutting).

The deposition of sediments at the mine site results in a sediment deficient flow leaving the site, this
results in the water picking-up more sediment from the stream reach below the mine site ultimately
resulting in bed degradation downstream. -Both processes can move long distances and headcutting can
move into tributaries. Channel incision can cause lateral instability due to increases in stream bank
heights resulting in bank failure. Channel instability further increases transport of sediments downstream.
Effects directly related to extraction and changes in geomorphology'include increased
sedimentation and turbidity, higher stream temperatures and reduced oxygen, lower water table,
decreased wetted periods in riparian wetlands, loss of riparian habitat, reduction in primary productivity,

extend far upstream and downstream and can be cumulative. All of these adverse impacts can result in
shifts in species composition and a decrease in species diversity and abundance. Further, the effects of
sand and gravel extraction on stream ecosystem recovery time is extensive, and total restoration of
severely affected streams has been considered improbable.
Instream mining alters aquatic habitat and adversely affects aquatic Iife. We are concerned about
the continued degradation of the stream, the cumulative impacts of multiple instream sand and gravel
mining operations, other stressors on the system, and the possibility of direct damage to aquatic life that
may move into or through this area.
Should the permit be issued, we offer the following recommendations to minimize impacts to
aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.
l. Gravel mining should not be permitted.
2. Allow hydraulic dredging only and there should be only one stabilized access area.
3. Mining activities'should be limited to the near half of the river so that the far side of the river will
not be directly impacted by equipment or mining activities. Also, this will ensure that upstream
and downstream movement by aquatic life is not impeded during and after mining.activities.
4. All in-water activities and processing activities that would result in a discharge of water should be
.prohibited during the species spawning season (May 1 through June 30)to protect eggs and
vniina of venr rPcident filth cnpniae frn ged;rr�f; tin" ; '*+
5. General habitat measurements should be'conducted to'pr m ovide Baseline environental data. A
minimum of 13 transects spaced every two,mean stream widths should be sampled per reach to
adequately characterize the'habitat(Simonson et at, 1994). Reaches consist of the entire area of
the mine site, upstream of the mine site, and downstream of the mine site—totaling three reaches.
Therefore,this means that 13 transects per reach will equal a total of 39 habitat transects. At each
transect, measure water temperature, (mean column), dissolved oxygen concentration (mean
column), turbidity, bankfull width(as described in Rosgen•1996), channel width, bank height, and
bank erosion. Physical habitat variables for water velocity distribution, mean depth, substrate
composition [based on the modified Wentworth scale(McMahon et al. 1996)],and instream
structure types (cover) should be measured at intervals of four equally spaced points on'each
transect. Additionally, riparian buffer widths should be measured per transect. The resource
agencies should be provided a,complete,compilation of the results of the sampling. These
baseline environmental data will allow Iagencies"to Better evaluate possible environmental impacts
and to further prescribe ways to minimize these impacts.
Alternatively,the mine operator may take photographs of these same areas to document any
changes.that may occur during the duration of the permit. Pictures should be taken annually in
winter(December/January) during normal flow conditions. Pictures should be taken from the

such a way that comparison of any site changes can be easily noted. These photographs should
cover upstream and downstream portions of the river as well as-river mining segments. This
photographic site history should be maintained during the life of this and subsequent permits.
These photographs should be provided to resource and regulatory agencies when requested. if
bank erosion or other issues are determined to have occurred, general habitat measurements
should be required in subsequent permits.
6. Downstream turbidity and bank erosion rates should be measured periodically:along the sampling
transects while mining is in progress and compared to an upstream reference site. The operator
should maintain a record of all days that.mining occurs and the amount and composition of• ,
material removed. This information should be provided to DEMLR and made available to
resource agencies upon requested.
7. A minimum 100-foot native forested buffer between the mining activity and the stream should be
provided or if practicable, restored.
8. Sediment basins and stockpiles of aggregate materials should be located outside of the river
buffer and the Foodplain.
9. Any destabilized stream banks should be sloped to at least 3:1 and planted with a native
herbaceous seed mix [except that annual small grains (e.g., millet, wheat,and rye) should be
added to the mixture to provide a temporary cover until perennial species become establishedi.
This stabilization should be done as necessary after each periodic extraction to.ensure
maintenance of long-term stabilization. For final reclamation, native trees should be planted on
the disturbed banks.
10. Sediment and erosion control structures should be maintained to minimize impacts to the stream
from silt and sediment loads. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental
effects on aquatic resources including disrupting the food chain, destruction of spawning habitat,
suffocation of eggs, and clogging the gills of aquatic species.
11. Resource agencies should be granted right-of-entry to the mine site periodically to determine if
protected or listed species are being taken.
l2. The mining permit should be issued only for a period of three to five years.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit application. If we can be of further
assistance, please contact our office at(336)449-7625 or shari.bryant a,ncwildlife.org..

Think you forgiving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chaptcr 74,
Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
13ccause of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is unlikely that any
archaeological sites which tnay be eligible for inclusion 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 continent,
please contact: Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579.

RE: Mine Site
hear Judy,
Please be advised that 'l'arheel Sand & Stone, Inc. has purchased Aaron Sand & Gravel.
We initially had the understanding that we could renew and transfer the existing permits
for Aaron Sand & Gravel. However, due to the fact WOT, Inc had allowed the permits to
expire, we were informed that we must submit application for a new mining permit. Per
our previous conversations, enclosed is the application for a new mining permit.
As a reminder, $1700.00 has already been submitted previously by Tarheel Sand &
Stone, Inc., and deposited by NCDENR. As a result, a check in the amount of$5800.00
to cover the remaining balance of the new permit costs for Mine Site 468 and Mine Site
#53 was submitted along with the Mine 468 application letter (under separate cover
letter). Also enclosed are the additional materials requested for the mining permits.
Should you have any questions at all, please call me directly at 336-468-4003.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
At J&It"

WITHOUT ALL RELEVANT ITEMS BEING ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED ON THE MINE MAPS.
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
l. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed_ This is an existing mine. The operation
basically involves removal of sand,sediment,other settleables through a floating hydraulic dredge. The
dredge essentially pumps the river water along with any other removable/pumpable solids from the river
bottom to a screen.Here the water and solids are separated within the wet stockpile. Water from the wet
stockpile flows to the sediment pond where any solids that remain suspended in the water are allowed to
settle out prior to returning these waters back to the river. Water in the sediment pond rises to an
overflow pipe then to a weir thus controlling the velocity of the water just prior to re-entering the river.
The elements on the mine map described above include the:
l. floating hydraulic dredge
2. screens
3. wet stockpile area
4. sediment pond
5. overflow pipe; and
5. weir.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
miming to prevent offsite sedimentation(include specific plans for sediment and erosion control far mine
excavation(s), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of
installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion
control measures on the mine maps) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
This is an existing mine since 1997. All erosion control devices are in. Mathew Gantt,WSRO,inspected
this site on May 15,2007 see attached inspection report. The site is stable at this time and all devices are
working. Ditches, berms, sediment basin, associated piping, stockpile and service area, weir(s),
checkdams, sediment pond, etc. are existing with stable vegetated slopes. Berms and other structures
within the disturbed areas of the site to be maintained and seeded and mulched as needed. Shoulders of
haul roads to be maintained with any disturbed areas and/or slopes associated with the maintenance of the
haul road to be seeded/reseeded as necessary. Native grasses to be used to vegetate any disturbed areas.
All sloped areas to be 2:1 or flatter and vegetated. Top width of protection berm(s)will be 5 feet wide.
Slope drains to extend to the river at the normal water level of the river to prevent scour and erosion of
the river bank. All surface waters from processing,stockpiles,etc.to be diverted to a sediment basin and
other appropriate structures as indicated on the Mine Map. An undisturbed buffer, 15 feet or greater will
be maintained along the river bank except at the boat ramp,discharge pipe(s),etc.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ® No❑. If yes,-briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
The operation will involve removal of sand and gravel from the Yadkin River, utilizing a hydraulic sand
dredge. River water, sand and gravel removed from the Yadkin River will pass through a screen(s) to
remove trash and gravel. Sand is dewatered as it stacks. River water returns to the Yadkin River after

I am inclined to think that new permits need to be submitted since both expired over six month

dredging operation.

Page 4
B. The dredge shall operate in the river only during daylight hours. When the
dredge is in operation in the river, the dredge shall at no time be operating closer
than ten feet to the bank. The dredge shall face upstream, the direction from
which most all river traffic would approach the dredge. When river traffic
approaches, the operator shall cease pumping and idle. If river traffic is headed
around the easterly side of the dredge, the operator shall wait to resume
operations until the river traffic passes. If the boater is headed towards the
westerly side of the river, the side where the pontoon supported pipeline is
located, the operator shall exit the pilot house and flag traffic to the easterly side
of the river.
C. The cables extending from the dredge to the bank shall be up and out of the

dredge shall be tied off such that no part of the dredge or equipment extends out
from the bank by more than twenty feet.
7. All permit boundaries on land shall be permanently marked at the site on 100 foot
intervals unless site distance allows from greater marking intervals.
S. A. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions, earthen
dikes, check dams, sediment retarding structures, rip rap pits, or ditches shall be
provided in the initial stages of any land disturbance and maintained to prevent
sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake or natural
watercourse in proximity to the affected land.

shall be diverted via appropriately sized and sloped diversions to the existing
sediment basins/pits or other appropriate erosion and sedimentation control
structures.

Page 5
C. The existing boat ramp shall be sloped in such a manner as to prevent erosion
and sedimentation of the river. In addition, the boat ramp shall be stabilized with
vegetation and rip-rap or large pieces of concrete, such as lengths of broken curb
and gutter, to prevent erosion and sedimentation problems from occurring at the
said boat ramp.
D. All mining activities, including the installation and maintenance of erosion and
sedimentation control measures, shall be conducted as indicated on the mine
map received by the Land Quality Section on September 22, 2008.
9. A. Riparian vegetation shall be planted immediately to stabilize any exposed
riverbanks to prevent continued erosion of said riverbanks.
B. A minimum 15 foot wide undisturbed buffer buffer shall be maintained along the
riverbank except in those minimal areas where access during the operation is
essential (i.e. boat ramps, discharge pipes, etc.). At such access points, all
stabilizing roots and stumps shall not be removed or otherwise disturbed on the
riverbank.
10. A. No on-site disposal of refuse or other solid waste that is generated outside of the
mining permit area shall be allowed within the boundaries of the mining permit
area unless authorization to conduct said disposal has first been obtained from

Judy,
During a follow-up inspection yesterday to confirm the last of the needed
repairs. Everything has been done with the exception of the addition of stone to
the check dam within the sediment basin Before the culvert inlet. It is possible
that it was installed and has been subsequently washed out, but we have asked
that he install additional stone in that location just the same. It is the only
thing remaining as far as needed actions at this time. The item was noted in the
report as follows:
8A: Insufficient stone at culvert inlet atrrear of sediment trap.
Install Class B stone to check dam in front of pipe inlet.
I listed it for a revisit on or about the i5th of December. Please let me know
if there is anything else I need to address on this site between now and then.
Thank you,

RE: Additional information requested for Aaron Sand and Gravel Mine No. 53, Permit
No. 99-09 (Mine Map revision reflecting acreage in haul road to include distance
from site to Dinkins Bottom Road.)
Aaron Sand and Gravel is pleased to provide you an updated Mine Map as
requested to complete the review of Aaron Sand and Gravel Mine No. 53, Permit No. 99-
09. Richard Howard performed the survey and updated the mine map. The road
calculation was determined assuming a12 foot wide haul road. The total haul road length
for the site is 3,847.8' x 12'=46,173.6' /43560 sq. ft/acre= 1.06 acres in the haul road
as shown on the mine map.
I am also providing, attached and on the mine map corrected calculations
different from those provided to you in January of this year(2008) from John Beeson,
PE. The corrected calculations reflect the additional haul road acreage added to the 2.14
acres previously used as a total. The total disturbed acreage reflected in the mine map is
3.20 acres. The total mine site is 9.92 acres.
Additionally,please find attached corrected pages from the previously submitted
application. These pages should replace the originally submitted documents.
I am providing 6 copies of each item described above. If you need additional
copies please advise.
As always, thanks for your assistance in these matters. Please contact me at 336-
345-7793 or Tim Beeman at 336-408-0035 should you need additional information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Brenda M. Harris, Mining Program Secretary
Land Quality Section,DENR
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinato
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: January 3,2008
SUBJECT: Aaron Sand Mine# 53,DLR No.99-09, Yadkin River,Yadkin County
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) staff reviewed the subject application for mining
permit renewal. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended,
1982)(r-S- 74-76 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5),the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et. seq.), and the
North Carolina Administrative Code i 5A NCAC 101.0102.
The application indicates that sand and rg avel mining is proposed by hydraulic dredges (suction) equipment. The
applicant is requesting to renew the existing permit.
Portions of the Yadkin basin provides habitats for Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu), Largemouth bass
(Micropterus salmoides), Spotted bass (Micropterus punctulatus), Rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris), Fiat bullhead
(Ictalurus platycephalus), Snail bullhead (lctalurus brunnneus), and Redbreast sunfish (Lepomis auritus) as well as
the flathead catfish (Pylodicris olivaris). The Brook floater(Alasmidonta varicosa) a state endangered and federal
species of concern is known for the basin.
This agency is concerned with direct as well as indirect (secondary and cumulative) impacts associated with the
mining of submerged lands, including stream and river beds. These mining activities tend to have negative
influences on channel stability, stream geomorphology, and aquatic habitat for fisheries and listed species.
Credible research has shown that instream gravel and sand mining can result in numerous detrimental and long
lasting environmental effects(Bork 1999; Roell 1999; Brown et al. 1998; Meador and Layher 1998; Hartfield 1993;
Nelson 1993; Kanehl and Lyons 1992; and references therein). Some of the more devastating effects to stream
geomorphology are channel incision, lateral erosion, and headcutting. The alteration of geomorphic structure may
occur due to increased velocity and decreased sediment load associated with mined areas. Excavation in the active
channel lowers the streambed, creating a nick point that steepens channel slope and increases flow. The nick point
migrates upstream due to increased water speed, i.e. headcutting. The deposition of sediments at a mine site results
in a sediment deficient flow leaving the site; this in turn results in the water picking up more sediment from the
stream reach below the mine site, ultimately,resulting in bed degradation downstream. Both processes can move
long distances and headcutting can additionally move into tributaries. Channel incision can also cause lateral
instability due to increases in stream bank heights, resulting in bank failure. Channel instability further increases
transport of sediments downstream.

Aaron Sand Mine, DLR 990 -Page 2- ® January 3,2008
Direct effects of the extraction and changes in geomorphology include increased sedimentation and turbidity,higher
stream temperatures and reduced oxygen, lowering of the water table, decreased wetted periods in riparian wetlands,
loss of riparian habitat,reduction in primary productivity, reduction in food availability, clogging of gills, and direct
damage to aquatic organisms. These effects can extend far upstream and downstream and can be cumulative. All of
these adverse impacts can result in shifts in species composition and a decrease in species diversity and abundance,
and likely result in especially perilous conditions for sensitive and rare species. Further, the effects of sand and
gravel extraction on stream ecosystem recovery time is extensive, and total restoration of severely affected streams
has been considered improbable.
Based on the literature,in stream mining operations alter aquatic habitat.and adversely affect aquatic life. Continued
mine operations may have ongoing adverse effects further downstream as a result of the factors discussed above. A
specific concern is the potential for bank failures following the periodic extractions, which would contribute to
downstream sedimentation. We are also concerned that head cutting may occur which further degrades aquatic
habitat.

reduce impacts of the in stream mining operation on fish and wildlife habitats:
I, Allow hydraulic dredging only.
2. Gravel mining should not be permitted pursuant to DLit policies and regulations.
3. There should be only one stabilized access area for a suction dredge and barge.
4. Mining should only occur within the near half of the river to provide undisturbed passage and haven for
benthic organisms and to ensure that movement or migration up and down the stream is not totally impeded
during and after mining activities.
5. When and if required, aquatic habitat surveys should be accomplished according to the sampling protocol
submitted to DLR(McBride,22 May 2001). General habitat measurements should be conducted to provide
baseline environmental data. A minimum of 13 transects, spaced every two mean stream widths, should be
sampled per reach to adequately characterize the habitat (Simonson et al. 1994). Reaches consist of the
entire area of the mine site, upstream of the mine site, and downstream of the mine site—totaling three
reaches. Therefore,this means that.13 transects per reach will equal atotal of 39 habitat transects. At each
transect, measure water temperature, (mean column), dissolved oxygen concentration (mean column),
turbidity, bankfull width (as described in Rosgen 1996), channel width, bank height, and bank erosion.
Physical habitat variables for water velocity distribution, mean depth, substrate composition [based on the
modified Wentworth scale (McMahon et al. 1996)], and instream structure types (cover) should be
measured at intervals of four equally spaced points on each transect. Additionally, riparian buffer widths
should be measured per transect. The resource agencies should be provided a complete compilation of the
results of the sampling. These baseline environmental data will allow agencies to better evaluate possible
environmental impacts and to further prescribe ways to minimize these impacts. Alternative]Y, the mine

duration of the permit. Pictures should be taken annually in winter (December/January) during normal
flow conditions. Pictures should be taken from the same location and with the same magnification each
year. Photographs should be catalogued in such a way that comparison of any site changes can be easily
noted. These photographs should adequately cover upstream and downstream portions of the river as well
as river mining segments. This photographic site history should be maintained during the life of this and
subsequent permits. These photographs should be provided to resource and regulatory agencies when
requested. If bank erosion or other issues are determined to have occurred, general habitat measurements
should be required in subsequent permits.

Aaron Sand Mine, DL,R 99.0 -Page 3 - 0 January 3,2008
6. Downstream turbidity and bank erosion rates should be monitored periodically along the sampling transects
while the mining is in progress and compared to an upstream reference site. The operator should maintain
a record of all days on which mining occurs and the amount and composition of material removed. This
information should be given to the DL,R and made available to the resource agencies if requested.
7. All in-water activities and processing activities that would result in a discharge of water should be
prohibited during the species spawning season (I May through 30 June) to protect the eggs and young of
resident fish species form sedimentation impacts.
8. Existing riparian vegetation should be maintained at current levels or better. A minimum 100-foot native
forested buffer between the mining activity and the stream should be provided or restored if practicable.
Existing buffers should not be diminished in width or habitat value.
9. Sediment basins and stockpiles of aggregate materials should be located outside of the river buffer.
to. Mined materials should not be stockpiled within active floodplains. Stockpiling materials in this area will
make them more easily available for transport during flood events.
11. Any destabilized stream banks should be sloped to at least 3:1 and planted with a native herbaceous seed
mix [except that annual small grains(e.g.,millet,wheat,and rye)should be added to the mixture to provide
a temporary cover until nerennial species become established]. This stabilization should be done as
necessary after each periodic extraction to ensure maintenance of long-term stabilization. For final
reclamation,native woody vegetation (e.g., tag alder, silky dogwood, sycamore, river birch, musclewood)
should be planted on the disturbed banks. The balance of the riparian area should be planted with a mixture
of native hardwood species(e.g.sycamore, river birch, walnut,oak,red maple).
12. Sediment and erosion control structures should be maintained to minimize impacts to the stream from silt
and sediment loads. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental effects on aquatic
resources including disrupting the food chain, destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and
clogging the gills of aquatic species.
13. Resource agencies should be granted right-of-entry to the mine site periodically to determine if protected or
listed species are being taken.
14. The mining permit should only be renewed for a period of three(3)to five(5)years.
15. Because land reclamation provides an opportunity to improve wildlife habitat, we recommend that future
site reclamation consist of planting herbaceous species and a variety of tree species that will be attractive
and beneficial to wildlife. Fescue-based grass seeding provides little value for wildlife. Only native
species should be used for stabilization and restoration activities. We refer the applicant to Chris Kreh,
District Wildlife Biologist at 336-835-2523 for additional information about native plants and land
reclamation beneficial to wildlife.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input on this issue. if we can be of further assistance, please contact me at
336-769-9453.

Mine ##53
Yadkin County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application request for the above referenced project.
The Mine #53 located in Yadkin County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground water
supplies since there is no dewatering proposed. However, if the mine starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd of water,
they will need to re_ iister their water withdrawals.
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 clay 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 withdrawals and
surface water transfers every five years.

THIS APPLICATION FORM (PLEASE NOTE THE ITALICIZED QUESTIONSISTATEMENTS
THROUGHOUT THE FORM). THIS APPLICATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED COMPLETE
WITHOUT ALL RELEVANT ITEMS BEING ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED ON THE MINE MAPS.
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed. This is an existing mine. The operation
basically involves removal of sand,sediment,other settleabies through a floating hydraulic dredge. The
dredge essentially pumps the river water along with any other removable/pumpable solids from the river
bottom to a screen. Here the water and solids are separated within the wet stockpile. Water from the wet
stockpile flows to the sediment pond where any solids that remain suspended in the water are allowed to
settle out prior to returning these waters back to the river. Water in the sediment pond rises to an
overflow pipe then to a weir thus controlling the velocity of the water just prior to re-entering the river.
The elements on the mine map described above include the:
1. floating hydraulic dredge
2. screens
3. wet stockpile area
4. sediment pond
5. overflow pipe; and
6. weir.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation(include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine
excavation(s), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of
installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion
control measures on the mine map(s) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
This is an existing mine since 1997. All erosion control devices are in. Mathew Gantt,WSRO,inspected
this site on May 15,2007 see attached inspection report. The site is stable at this time and all devices are
working. Ditches, berms, sediment basin, associated piping, stockpile and service area, weir(s),
checkdams, sediment pond, etc. are existing with stable vegetated slopes. Berms and other structures
within the disturbed areas of the site to be maintained and seeded and mulched as needed. Shoulders of
haul roads to be maintained with any disturbed areas and/or slopes associated with the maintenance of the
haul road to be seeded/reseeded as necessary. Native grasses to be used to vegetate any disturbed areas.
All sloped areas to be 2:1 or flatter and vegetated. Top width of protection berm(s)will be 5 feet wide.

Diversion
pl
Make all pipe connections watertight and secure so that joints will not
• separate in use.
Secure pipe to face of slope with grommets or stakes spaced no more than
10 ft aparL
Extend drain beyond the toe of the slope to stable grade,and protect outlet
from erosion.Terminate drain in a 4-ft level section where practical.
Grade the diversion channel at the.top of the slope toward the temporary
slope drain.Positive grade is important.
Compacted diversion ridge must be at least 1 ft higher than the top of the
drain pipe at all points and 1.5 ft higher directly over the inlet section.
Stabilize all disturbed areas immediately following installation.

Dear Mr. Beeman:
On May 24, 2007, the Department received a letter from Penn National Insurance pertaining to
your company's $113,600.00 mine reclamation bond. Said letter rescinded the cancellation of Surety
Bond no. SB0311399, pending the bank honor's your payment to Penn National insurance. On June
11, 2007 Mr. Roy Whitley of Whitley Reavis Insurance and attorney-in-fact and agent with Penn
National Insurance confirmed via fax that payment was received and the bond reinstated. Thus, as this
bond will remain in full force and effect to cover your company's reclamation obligations, this office is
closing its bond cancellation/forfeiture action.
Thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention to this matter. If you should have any
questions on the above, please contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, at (919)
733-4574.

Dear Mr. Beeman and Ms. Myers:
This.office has received notification of Penn Nationaf Mutual Casualty insurance
Company's intent to cancel Aaron Sand Gravel's $113,600.00 Mine Reclamation bond No.
S80311399. Although the notice states the effective cancellation date is July 3, 2007, 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 Penn National Mutual Casualty
Insurance Company's notice on May 10, 2007. Therefore, the effective date for cancellation
of this bond is July 9, 2007.
Please note that if the bond is not reinstated or replaced by June_ 8, 2007, the mining
permits will be automatically revoked (G.S. 74-50(c)). Thus, all mining activities must cease
and the entire mine sites must be completely reclaimed. Should any further mining activities
occur at the site 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, 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 sites are completely reclaimed and deemed releasable by the
Department. A review of our records indicates that the mining permits for the referenced mine
sites are still active and, therefore, a valid mine reclamation bond is still required until all
outstanding reclamation obligations have been met at the sites.
If a substitute reclamation bond is not received by this office within this deadline, or if
reclamation of the sites 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. 74-56(d) to ensure proper reclamation of the mine sites. 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 Ms. Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at (919)
733-4574 as soon as possible to convey your intentions in this matter. Your cooperation will
be greatly appreciated.

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:
Aaron Sand & Gravel — Division of WOT, Inc.
Aaron Sand Mine # 53
Yadkin County— Permit No. 99-09
for the operation of a
Sand Dredging Operation
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: December 19, 2007

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, 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.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
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 the 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.
Definitions
Whenever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise,
terms shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-49.
Modifications
August 14, 2001: This permit has been transferred in its entirety from Aaron Sand & Gravel,
Division of White Oak Transport, Inc. to Larco Construction, a Division of Nello L. Teer
Company. Additionally, this permit has been modified to change the mine name to Larco #53
Mine.
May 24, 2004: This permit, issued to Larco Construction, a Division of Nello L. Teer Company,
has been transferred in its entirety to Aaron Sand & Gravel, Division of WOT, Inc.
Expiration Date

Conditions
This permit shall be subject to the provisions of the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-46, et. seq., and to
the following conditions and limitations:
OPERATING CONDITIONS-
1 . A. Any wastewater processing or mine dewatering shall be in accordance with the
permitting requirements and rules promulgated by the N.C. Environmental
Management Commission,
B. Any stormwater runoff from the affected areas at the site shall be in accordance
with any applicable permit requirements and regulations promulgated by the
Environmental Protection Agency and enforced by the N.C. Environmental
Management Commission. It shall be the permittee's responsibility to contact the
Water Quality Section, Division of Water Quality, to secure any necessary
stormwater permits or other approval documents.
2. A. Any mining process producing air contamination emissions shall be subject to the
permitting requirements and rules promulgated by the N.C. Environmental
Management Commission and enforced by the Division of Air Quality.
B. During mining operations, water trucks or other means that may be necessary shall
be utilized to prevent dust from leaving the permitted area.
3. The channel of the waterway shall not be constricted or widened.

B. No mining activity shall extend beyond the centerline of the Yadkin River.
6. The following steps shall be taken at this mine site to ensure safety to boaters and
others who may use the section of the river covered by this mining permit:
A. Signs shall be placed on the easterly bank of the river at the upstream extremity
and the down stream extremity of dredging operations warning river traffic of the
dredging operation.

Page 4
B. The dredge shall operate in the river only during daylight hours. When the dredge
is in operation in the river, the dredge shall at no time be operating closer than ten
feet to the bank. The dredge shall face upstream, the direction from which most all
river traffic would approach the dredge. When river traffic approaches, the operator
shall cease pumping and idle. If river traffic is headed around the easterly side of
the dredge, the operator shall wait to resume operations until the river traffic
passes. if the boater is headed towards the westerly side of the river, the side
where the pontoon supported pipeline is located, the operator shall exit the pilot
house and flag traffic to the easterly side of the river. (It should be noted that even
if river traffic does enter the area immediately upstream from the pontoon supported
pipeline, with the dredge idling and not pumping, the rubber pipe connector sleeves
between the rigid pipes collapse and a canoeist can easily maneuver over the
pipeline and avoid any dangerous situation.)
C. The cables extending from the dredge to the bank shall be up and out of the water
at all times except possibly when one cable is slackened in anticipation of moving
the dredge using the opposite winch. This technique shall not be undertaken when
there is river traffic in the area. With the cables extending upwards to the river bank,
the cables shall be at least eight (8) feet above the water level and easily avoidable
by river traffic. Highly visible markers shall be used to mark the cables.
D. If an anchor system set in the middle of the river is utilized, the cables extending
from the dredge to the anchor system shall extend parallel with the flow of the river
and shall be under water to a depth of at least three feet at the anchor. A buoy
shall be used to mark the location of the anchor. (Any river traffic that approaches
the anchor would also be approaching the dredge. River traffic should, therefore,
be aware of the larger dredge and steer clear of the dredge, thus avoiding the
anchor.)
E. No dredging operations shall be performed at any time when the level of the river
exceeds three feet above normal river level. (This is the time when the current is at
its fastest pace and when small craft in the river are least maneuverable.)
F. When the dredge is moored at the side of the river, all piping and portions of the
dredge shall be tied off such that no part of the dredge or equipment extends out
from the bank by more than twenty feet. (As trees overhang the river and extend
out into the river in numerous places along the bank of the river, the matter of tying
off the dredge should pose no interference to river traffic.)
7. All permit boundaries on land shall be permanently marked at the site on 100 foot
intervals unless site distance allows greater marking intervals.
8. A. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions, earthen dikes,
silt check dams, silt retarding structures, rip rap pits, or ditches shall be provided in
the initial stages of any land disturbance and maintained to prevent sediment from
discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake or natural watercourse in
proximity to the affected land.

Page 5
B. All surface water runoff from the processing,_stockpile and wastepiles at the site
shall be diverted to the existing sediment basins/pits or other appropriate erosion
and sedimentation control structures as indicated on the mine map last revised
December 4, 1997.
C. The existing boat ramp shall be sloped in such a manner as to prevent erosion and
sedimentation of the river. In addition, the existing boat ramp shall stabilized with
vegetation and rip-rap or large pieces of concrete, such as lengths of broken curb
and gutter, to prevent erosion and sedimentation problems from occurring at the
said boat ramp.
9. A. Riparian vegetation shall be planted immediately to stabilize any exposed
riverbanks to prevent continued erosion of said riverbanks.
B. A minimum 15 foot wide undisturbed buffer shall be maintained along the riverbank
except in those minimal areas where access during the operation is essential (i.e.,
boat ramps, discharge pipes, etc.). At such access points, all stabilizing roots and
stumps shall not be removed or otherwise disturbed on the riverbank.
10. Refuse Disposal
A. No on-site disposal of refuse or other solid waste that is generated outside of
The mining permit area shall be allowed within the boundaries of the mining permit
area unless authorization to conduct said disposal has first been obtained from
both the Division of Waste Management and the Land Quality Section, Department
of Environment and Natural Resources. The method of disposal shall be
consistent with the approved reclamation plan.
B. Mining refuse defined by G.S. 74-49 (14) of The Mining Act of 1971 generated
on-site and directly associated with the mining activity may be disposed of in a
designated refuse area. All other waste products must be disposed of in a disposal
facility approved by the Division of Waste Management. No petroleum products,
acids, solvents or their storage containers or any other material that may be
considered hazardous shall be disposed of within the permitted area.
C. For the purposes of this permit, the Division of Land Resources considers the
Following materials to be "mining refuse" (in addition to those specifically listed
under G.S. 74-49 (14) of the N.C. Mining Act of 1971):
1) on-site generated land clearing debris
2) conveyor belts
3) wire cables
4) v-belts
5) steel reinforced air hoses
6) drill steel

Page 6
D. If mining refuse is to be permanently disposed within the mining permit boundary,
the following information must be provided to and approved by the Division of Land
Resources prior to commencement of such disposal:
1. the approximate boundaries and size of the refuse disposal area;
2. a list of refuse items to be disposed;
3. verification that a minimum of 4 feet of cover will be provided over the refuse;
4. verification that the refuse will be disposed at least 4 feet above the seasonally
high water table; and
5. verification that a permanent vegetative groundcover will be established.
E. All waste generated from the river shall be stockpiled as indicated on the mine map
last revised December 4, 1997 and disposed of properly.
11. The angle for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle, which can be
retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control measures, structure, or
device. In any event, exposed slopes or any excavated channels, the erosion of which
may cause off-site damage because of siltation, shall be planted or otherwise provided
with ground cover, devices or structures sufficient to restrain such erosion.
12. The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of water that are,
or likely to become, noxious or foul. Necessary structures such as drainage ditches or
conduits shall be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions.
13. Sufficient buffer (minimum of 50 feet) shall be maintained between any mining activity
and any mining permit boundary, right-of-way, bridge abatement, or other source to
protect adjacent property.
14. An annual Reclamation Report shall be submitted on a form supplied by the
Department by February 1 of each year until reclamation is completed and approved.
15. The security which was posted pursuant to N.C.G.S. 74-54 in the form of a $79,400.00
blanket bond, of which $4,500.00 is required for this site, is sufficient to cover the
operation as indicated in the approved application. This security must remain in force
for this permit to be valid. The total affected land shall not exceed the bonded acreage.
16. The operator shall notify the Department in writing of the desire to delete, modify or
otherwise change any part of the mining, reclamation, or erosion/sediment control plan
contained the approved application for a mining permit or any approved revision to it.
Approval to implement such changes must be obtained from the Department prior to on-
site implementation of the revisions.
17. A. Authorized representatives of the Division of Archives and History shall be granted
access to the site to determine the presence of significant archaeological
resources.

Page 7
B. Pursuant to N. C. & S. 70 Article 3, "The Unmarked Human Burial and Human
Skeletal Remains Protection Act," should the operator or any person in his employ
encounter human skeletal remains, immediate notification shall be provided to the
county medical examiner and the chief archaeologist, North Carolina Division of
Archives and History.

lands and waters affected by this mining operation will receive the greatest
practical degree of protection and restoration.

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 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.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
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.
Definitions
Wherever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms
shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-49.
Modifications
August 14. 2001. This permit has been transferred in its entirety from Aaron Sand and Gravel to
Larco Construction, a Division of Nello L. Teer Company. Additionally, this permit has been
modified to change the mine name to Larco #53 Mine.
Expiration Date
This permit shall be effective from the date of its issuance until December 19, 2007.

permitting requirements and rules promulgated by the N.C. Environmental
Management Commission and enforced by the Division of Air Quality.
B. During mining operations, water trucks or other means that may be necessary shall
be utilized to prevent dust from leaving the permitted area.
3. The channel of the waterway shall not be constricted or widened.
4. Any mining activity affecting waters of the State, waters of the U. S., or wetlands shall be
in accordance with the requirements and regulations promulgated and enforced by the N.
C. Environmental Management Commission.
5. A. Only a hydraulic dredge shall be used to excavate material from the riverbed.
B. No mining activity shall extend beyond the centerline of the Yadkin River.
6. The following steps shall be taken at this mine site to ensure safety to boaters and others
who may use the section of the river covered by this mining permit:
A. Signs shall be placed on the westerly bank of the river at the upstream extremity
and the downstream extremity of dredging operations warning river traffic of the
dredging operation.

Page 4
B. The dredge shall operate in the river only during daylight hours. When the dredge
is in operation in the river, the dredge shall at no time be operating closer than
twenty-five feet to the bank. The dredge shall face upstream, the direction from
which most all river traffic would approach the dredge. When river traffic
approaches, the operator shall cease pumping and idle. If river traffic is headed
around the easterly side of the dredge, the operator shall wait to resume operations
until the river traffic passes. If the boater is headed towards the westerly side of the
river, the side where the pontoon supported pipeline is located, the operator shall
exit the pilot house and flag traffic around to the easterly side of the river (It should
be noted that even if river traffic does enter the area immediately upstream from the
pontoon-supported pipeline, with the dredge idling and not pumping, the rubber pipe
connector sleeves between the rigid pipes collapse and a canoeist can easily
maneuver over the pipeline and avoid any dangerous situation).
C. The cables extending from the dredge to the bank shall be up and out of the water
at all times except possibly when one cable is slackened in anticipation of moving
the dredge using the opposite winch. This technique shall not be undertaken when
there is river traffic in the area. With the cables extending upwards to the river
bank, the cables shall be at least eight (8) feet above the water level and easily
avoidable by river traffic. Highly visible markers shall be used to mark the cables.
D. If an anchor system set in the middle of the river is utilized, the cables extending
from the dredge to the anchor system shall extend parallel with the flow of the river
and shall be under water to a depth of at least three feet at the anchor. A buoy shall
be used to mark the location of the anchor (Any river traffic that approaches the
anchor would also be approaching the dredge. River traffic should, therefore, be
aware of the larger dredge and steer clear of the dredge,.thus avoiding the anchor).
E. No dredging operations shall be performed at any time when the level of the river
exceeds three feet above normal river level (This is the time when the current is at
its fastest pace and when small craft in the river are least maneuverable).
F. When the dredge is moored at the side of the river, all piping and portions of the
dredge shall be tied off such that no part of the dredge or equipment extends out

into the river in numerous places along the bank of the river, this matter of tieing off
the dredge should pose no interference to river traffic).
7. A. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions, earthen dikes,
silt check dams, silt retarding structures, rip rap pits, or ditches shall be provided in
the initial stages of any land disturbance and maintained to prevent sediment from
discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake or natural watercourse in
proximity to the affected land.
B. All surface water runoff from the processing;,.stockpile and wastepiles at the site
shall be diverted to the existing sediment basins/pits or other appropriate erosion
and sedimentation control structures as indicated on-the mine map last revised
December 4, 1997.
C. The existing boat ramp shall be sloped in such a manner as to prevent erosion and
sedimentation of the river. In addition, the existing boat ramp shall be stabilized
with vegetation and rip-rap or large pieces of concrete, such as lengths of broken
curb and gutter, to prevent erosion and sedimentation problems from occurring at
said boat ramp. -

Page 5
8. A. Riparian vegetation shall be planted immediately to stabilize any exposed
riverbanks to prevent continued erosion of said riverbanks.
B. A minimum 15 foot wide undisturbed buffZun�isturb�eduffer ' hall be maintained
along the riverbank except in those minimal ra eas-wh-ere access during the
operation is essential (i.e. boat ramps, discharge pipes, etc.). At such access
points, all stabilizing roots and stumps shall not be removed or otherwise disturbed
on the riverbank.
9. Refuse Disposal
A. No on-site disposal of refuse or other solid waste that is generated outside of the
mining permit area shall be allowed within the boundaries of the mining permit area
unless authorization to conduct said disposal has first been obtained from both the
Division of Waste Management and the Land Quality Section, Department of
Environment and Natural Resources. The method of disposal shall be consistent
with 1 the approved reclamation plan.
B. Mining refuse as defined by G.S. 74-49 (14) of The Mining Act of 1971 generated
on-site and directly associated with the mining activity may be disposed of in a
designated refuse area. All other waste products must be disposed of in a disposal
facility approved by the Division of Waste Management. No petroleum products,
acids, solvents or their storage containers or any other material that may be
considered hazardous shall be disposed of within the permitted area.
C. For the purposes of this permit, the Division of Land Resources considers the
following materials to be"mining refuse" (in addition to those specifically listed under
G.S. 74-49 (14) of the N.C. Mining Act of 1971):
11 on-site generated land clearing debris
2) conveyor belts
3) wire cables
4) v-belts
5) steel reinforced air hoses
6) drill steel
D. If mining refuse is to be permanently disposed within the mining permit boundary,
the following information must be provided to and approved by the Division of Land
Resources rigor to commencement of such disposal-
1. the approximate boundaries and size of the refuse disposal area;
2. a list of refuse items to be disposed;
3. verification that a minimum of 4 feet of cover will be provided over the refuse;
4. verification that the refuse will be disposed at least 4 feet above the
seasonally high water table; and
5. verification that a permanent vegetative groundcover will be established.
E. All waste generated from the river shall be stockpiled as indicated on the mine map
fast revised December 4, 1997 and disposed of properly.

Page 6
10. The angle for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle which can be
retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control measure, structure, or
device. In any event, exposed slopes or any excavated channels, the erosion of which
may cause off-site damage because of siltation, shall be planted or otherwise provided with
ground cover, devices or structures sufficient to restrain such erosion.
11. The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of water that are, or
likely to become, noxious or foul. Necessary structures such as drainage ditrhac or
conduits shall be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions.
12. Sufficient buffer (minimum of 50 feet) shall be maintained between any mining activity and
any mining permit boundary, right-of-way, bridge abatement or other structure to protect
adjacent property.
13. An Annual Reclamation Report shall be submitted on a form supplied by the Department
by February 1 of each year until reclamation is completed and approved.
The security which was posted pursuant to N.C.G.S. 74-54 in the form of a $4,500.00
surety bond is sufficient to cover the operation as indicated in the approved application.
This security must remain in force for this permit to be valid. The total affected land shall
not exceed the bonded acreage.
15. The operator shall notify the Department in writing of the desire to delete, modify or
otherwise change any part of the mining, reclamation, or erosion/sediment control plan
contained in the approved application for a mining permit and any approved revisions to

Yadkin River Basin
Dear Mr. Beeman:
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 . 99-09 were based primarily
upon information supplied in the application with conditions added
as necessary to insure compliance with The Mining Act of 1971 .
Please note particularly operating condition no. 16 . The State
Archeologist ' s Office has requested that they be notified prior to
any excavation on land because of the high potential for excavation
disturbing aboriginal human remains .
This permit expires on December 19, 2007 . G . S . 74-65 states
'that the issuance of a mining permit does not supersede local
zoning regulations . The responsibility of compliance with any
applicable zoning regulations lies with you.

Conditions
This permit shall be subject to the provisions of the Mining Act,
N.C.G. S . 74-46, et . seq. , and to the following conditions and
limitations :
OPERATING CONDITIONS :
1 . A. Any wastewater processing or mine dewatering shall be in
accordance with the permitting requirements and rules
promulgated by the N.C. Environmental Management Commission.
B. Any stormwater runoff from the affected areas at the site
shall be in accordance with any applicable permit requirements
and regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection
Agency and enforced by the N.C. Environmental Management
Commission. It shall be the permittee' s responsibility to
contact the Stormwater Section, Division of Water Quality, to
secure any necessary stormwater permits or other approval
documents .
2 . A. Any mining process producing air contaminant emissions shall
be subject to the permitting requirements and rules
promulgated by the N. C. Environmental Management Commission
and enforced by the Division of Air Quality.
R= Turing mining operations, water trucks or other means that may
be necessary shall be utilized to prevent dust from leaving
the permitted area.
3 . The channel of the waterway shall not be constricted or widened.
4 . Any mining activity affecting waters of the State, waters of the U.
S . , or wetlands shall be in accordance with the requirements and
regulations promulgated and enforced by the N. C . Environmental
Management Commission.
5 . A. Only a hydraulic dredge shall be used to excavate material
from the riverbed.
B. No mining activity shall extend beyond the centerline of the
Yadkin River.
6 . The following steps shall be taken at this mine site to ensure
safety to boaters and others who may use the section of the river
covered by this mining permit :
A. Signs shall be placed on the westerly bank of the river at the
upstream extremity and the downstream extremity of dredging
operations warning river traffic of the dredging operation.

Page 4 of 9
B. The dredge shall operate in the river only during daylight
hours . When the dredge is in operation in the river, the
dredge shall at no time be operating closer than twenty-five
feet to the bank. The dredge shall face upstream, t«e
direction from which most all river traffic would approach the
dredge . When river traffic approaches, the operator shall
cease pumping and idle . If river traffic is headed around the
easterly side of the dredge, the operator shall wait to resume
operations until the river traffic passes .. If the boater is
headed towards the westerly side of the raver, the side where
the pontoon supported pipeline is located, the operator shall
exit the pilot house and flag traffic around to the easterly
side of the river (It should be noted that even if river
traffic does enter the area immediately upstream from the
pontoon supported pipeline, with the dredge idling and not
pumping, the rubber pipe connector sleeves between the rigid
pipes collapse and a canoeist can easily maneuver over the
pipeline and avoid any dangerous situation) .
C. The cables extending from the dredge to the bank shall be up
and out of the water at all times except possibly when one
cable is slackened in anticipation of moving the dredge using
the opposite winch. This technique shall not be undertaken
when there is river traffic in the area . With the cables
extending upwards to the river bank, the cables shall be at
least eight (8) feet above the water level and easily
avoidable by river traffic . Highly visible markers shall be
used to mark the cables .
D. If an anchor system set in the middle of the river is
_ c 4.4y.V "� %A, �.ai CaU.+.CS extending from the dredge t0 the anchor
system shall extend parallel with the flow of the river and
shall be under water to a depth of at least three feet at the
anchor. A buoy shall be used to mark the location of the
anchor (Any river traffic that approaches the anchor would
also be approaching the dredge . River traffic should,
therefore, be aware of the larger dredge and steer clear of
the dredge, thus avoiding the anchor) .
E. No dredging operations shall be performed at any time when the
level of the river exceeds three feet above normal river level
(This is the time when the current is at its fastest pace and
when small craft in the river are least maneuverable) .
F. When the dredge is moored at the side of the river, all piping
and portions of the dredge shall be tied off such that no part
of the dredge or equipment extends out from the bank by more
than twenty feet (As trees overhang the river and extend out
into the river in numerous places along the bank of the river,
this matter of tieing off the dredge should pose no
interference to river traffic) .

Page 5 of 9
7 . A. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to
diversions, earthen dikes, silt check dams, silt retarding
structures, rip rap pits, or ditches shall be provided in the
initial stages of any land disturbance and maintained to
prevent sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas
or into any lake or natural watercourse in proximity to the
affected land.
B. All surface water runoff from the processing, stockpile and
wastepiles at the site shall be diverted to the existing
sediment basins/pits or other appropriate erosion and
sedimentation control structures as indicated on the mine map
last revised December 4 , 1997 . .
C. The existing boat ramp shall be sloped in such a manner as to
prevent erosion and sedimentation of the river. in addition,
the existing boat ramp shall be stabilized with vegetation and
rip-rap or large pLeces of concrete, such as lengths of broken
curb and gutter, to prevent erosion and sedimentation problems
from occurring at said boat ramp.
8 . A. Riparian vegetation shall be planted immediately to stabilize
any exposed riverbanks to prevent continued erosion of said
riverbanks.
B . A minimum 15 foot wide undisturbed buffer undisturbed buffer
shall be maintained along the riverbank except in those
minimal areas where access during the operation is essential
(i . e. boat ramps, discharge pipes, etc . ) . At such access
points, all stabilizing roots and stumps shall not be removed
or otherwise disturbed on the riverbank,
9 . Refuse Disposal.
A. No on--site disposal of refuse or other solid waste that is
generated outside of the mining permit area shall be allowed
within the boundaries of the mining permit area unless
authorization to conduct said disposal has first been obtained
from both the Division of Waste Management and the Land
Quality Section, Department of Environment and Natural
Resources . The method of disposal shall be consistent with
the approved reclamation plan.
B. Mining refuse as defined by G. S . 74-49 (14) of The Mining Act
of 1971 generated on-site and directly associated with the
mining activity may be disposed of in a designated refuse
area . All other waste products must be disposed of in a
disposal facility approved by the Division of Waste
Management . No petroleum products, acids, solvents or their
storage containers or any other material that may be
considered hazardous shall be disposed of within the permitted
area .

Yadkin River Basin
Dear Mr. Beeman:
On July 5, 2001, an inspection of the subject mine was performed by Brooks Cole of this office
(copy of inspection report enclosed). As you will note, several deficiencies were observed that
require your prompt attention.
The deficiencies discovered and the necessary corrective actions are as follows:
1. Operating Condition #6, A, which requires that warning signs be placed on the river
banks above and below the dredging operation, is not being met. Warning signs must
be placed on the Westerly bank at the upstream extremity and the downstream
extremity of the dredging operations warning river traffic of the dredging operations.
2. Operating Condition # 8, A, which requires riparian vegetation be planted
immediately to stabilize any exposed riverbanks to prevent continued erosion of said
riverbanks, is not being met. Riparian vegetation must be planted on all bare areas on
the riverbanks.

3. Operating Condition #8, B, which requires a minimum l5'wide.! ndisturbed
buffer zone be maintained along the river bank, is not being met. Riparian
vegetation must be planted in all bare areas within the 15' wide buffer zone along
the river bank.
4. Operating Condition #9, B, which requires that all mining refuse be disposed of in
a designated refuse area within the permitted area. All mining refuse must be
disposed of in one, designated area inside of the permitted area.
5. Operating Condition #14, requires that a security bond remain in force for the
permit to be valid. We have been notified that United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company has elected to cancel the bond for this mine. A replacement
bond must be established for permit to remain valid.
6. Reclamation Condition #4, Reclamation Plan requires that reclamation shall be
conducted. simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In any event
reclamation shall be-initiated as soon as feasible after completion or termination
r=of mining of- any mine segment under permit. Final reclamation, shall be
completed within one (1) year of completion or termination of mining.
If the reclamation bond is canceled by the institution issuing the bond and is not sufficiently
I
replac6d,.all'•inining activities'must cease and the entire mine site must be completely reclaimed.
Please note that if the bond is not reinstated or replaced by July 26, 2001, the mining permit will
be automatically revoked (G.S. 74-50(c)). Thus, any mining conducted at-the site after this date
will be considered mining without a permit and subject to further enforcement action, such as
civil penalties and injunctive relief.
If the previously described deficiencies are not corrected by July 26, 2001 and a substitute
reclamation bond is not received by this office within this deadline, or if reclamation of the
site is not completed, this matter will be referred to the Attorney General's Office for
initiation of bond forfeiture proceedings under G.S. 74-56(d). In addition,, failure to
correct these deficiencies may result in the assessment of civil penalties and/or injunctive
relief against you.

SUBJECT: Application for Mining Permit
Aaron Sand and Gravel Mine ##3, Yadkin County, ER 98-
7944
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.
The proposed mining permit area along the floodplain of the Yadkin River contains a high
probability for the presence of prehistoric aboriginal sites. A number of archaeological sites
have been recorded both to the north and south of this area, although the section of
floodplain within this project area has never been surveyed. According to the information
contained within the permit application, no excavation is to take place within the floodplain
of the Yadkin. Mining activities are proposed to be confined to the river bottom. The
activities on the floodplain associated within the mining will not include excavation.
If the above interpretation is correct, we do not believe there is a need for any
archaeological investigations. However, if any excavation is to be done on the floodplain
we recommend that our office be notified prior to the excavation in order that we may
conduct an on-site inspection. The potential for long-term aboriginal habitation sites,
including human remains, is very high within the Yadkin River floodplain in this vicinity.
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, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at
9191733-4763.

------------------------------------ Message Contents ------------------------------------
Hey Judy. Matt and I have some concerns about the revised mining
permit application map for Aaron Sand and Gravel #3. Regarding the
access ramp to the river for dredge service,' it is unclear how they
will be getting to the ramp. They will have to go around the
sediment pond, either crossing the temporary diversion from the
screens or crossing the existing ditch between the sediment pond and
the 36" CMP. We believe that the access to the ramp should be
clarified (to be sure that they will not interfere with their
proposed diversions and that they will provide equate ntation
control) . Additionally, I oo n�ieve that we have a construc-F'ion
detail for the access ramp nor a proposed ramp stabilization during
its use. Matt is afraid that the owner will make steep cuts to
the river bank for the access ramp unless he is told that he
cannot. We realize that these comments should have been mentioned
during our initial review of the plan, but we overlooked the access
ramp at that time. Perhaps rather than calling for another permit
application revision, you could addre s these concerns in the permit,
itself. Thanks, Judy.

RE: MINING PERMIT APPLICATION: AARON SAND & GRAVEL #3
The referenced mining permit application has been reviewed by
applicable representatives o Winston-Salem Regional Office,
Department of Environment Health and Natural Resources. The
following comments are submi n response to this review.
DLQ, Land Quality- Section
1) The access road to the mine site, though labeled as an
.i.L . l. a C 4 -a 'f r- l .a a ,a .-IVC_" /

replaced, and gravel added) by the applicant, from the mine
site to Dinkins Bottoms Road (gravel road shown on map) . The
access road is -approximatel.y�. 0!.,5�--mil.e*olfong=andA15--€eettwide,.
The road is not currently wide enough to allow traffic in both
directions, and further modifications will likely be necessary
to avoid traffic congestion. Previous and proposed
modifications to the access road should be addressed in the
permit application.
2) The proposed sediment trap placed below the screens needs a
,.,better-construction-detail . Presumably, the slope drain inlet
invert will be set at 2 feet above the basin bottom, and the
rr4� proposed washed stone filter at the inlet will be confiqured
in a horseshoe shape. However, the submitted construction
detail does not show the elevation at which the invert will be
set, nor does it specify the design of the washed stone inlet
protection.

3) The permit application does not indicate what will be done
with -trash=andt-wood—debr: s=coll:ected in the screens during
normal operation. When the site was observed in operation,
screenings (gravel, trash, and wood debris) were being
stockpiled right on the river bank. There was no barrier in
place to prevent this material from sloughing into the river.
0AC
The proposed mine map shows the screens located right on the
river bank, and anything not passing through the screens will
accumulate at that point. The potential for the return of
waste material to the river should be addressed in the permit.
from these items, no comments are submitted with respect to
15A 4 (Sedimentation Control) or NCAC 15A 5 (Mining) .

DATE: November 13, 1997
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application Request for Aaron Sand & Gravel/White Oak
Transport, Inc., Aaron Sand & Gravel #3 Mine, Yadkin County
This correspondence responds to a request by you for our review and comments on the
above referenced project. A site visit was conducted with Mr. Tim Beeman, mine owner, on
November 13, 1997. These comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the
AAin r Ant n4' 1071 1— nmra 1l 1 1 OQ7• (: Q 7A AA t-,.-n.l ...l-. RA I'Q• 1 G NTOAC C\ —At 1,o ATort1,

Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 1 13-131 et seq.).
Mr. Beeman proposes to establish a new sand dredging operation on the Yadkin River,
just south of highway US 421 in Yadkin County. Total leased area for the mine is 13.596 acres,
of which 2.14 is to be disturbed. The operation will involve the removal of sand and gravel with
a hydraulic sand dredge. River water will be passed through a sediment basin before being
discharged back into the Yadkin River. An undisturbed riparian buffer zone of 15 feet or greater
will be maintained along the river bank except at the boat ramp, discharge pipes and immediate
mine area.
We are pleased that Mr. Beeman plans to use a hydraulic dredge instead of a dragline
because less damage is done to riparian vegetation. Based on review of the plans and the site
visit, we have no objection to the permit as proposed. During the site visit Mr. Beeman
expressed an interest in providing additional food and cover for wildlife at the site. To
accomplish this, we recommend that the revegetation plan be modified as follows:
Fed. 15 - April 1 Remove KY 31 Fescue from the plan and replace it with
VA 70 shrub lespedeza- 20 Ibs/a
April 1 - July 31 Add switchgrass - 8 lbs/a in with the 50 lbs of common
Bermuda seed

August I - Oct. 25 Remove lespedeza from the plan and plant the following:
nrrkorA (mace C Ehc/.
White or Ladino clover 5 lbs/a
German millet 40 lbs/a
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 910/366-2982.

APPENDIX A
COMPANY POLICIES AND OTHER DATA PERTINENT TO AND
AFFECTING THE OPERATION OF AARON SAND AND GRAVEL
MINE #3
Signage: Signage will be posted on the bank of the Yadkin River at the upstream
extremity and the downstream extremity of the dredging operation warning river traffic of the dredging
operation. Signage also will be posted at the entrance of the site restricting access of unauthorized
personnel.
Hours of operation: Aaron Sand and Gravel will operate the dredge in the river only during
daylight hours.
Operating procedures: The operator of the dredge will harvest sand at a distance greater than twenty
live feet from the river bank. The operator of the dredge will cease DumDinp-and idle the dredac when
river traffic is observed. The operator of the dredge will flag river traffic approaching the pontoon
supported pipeline,with the dredge idling and not pumping and direct the river traffic between the dredge
and the river bank.
Cables from the dredge to the bank will be up out of the water at all times except when one cable is
slackened in anticipation of moving the dredge. When river traffic is approaching the cable will be up out
of the water at all times. Cables must be marked and highly visible so that river traffic may easily observe
and avoid all cabling.
When and if achoring is necessary at the dredge, the achoring system will be set as close to the middle of
the river as possible with the cables extending from the dredge to the anchor parallel with the flow of the
river and shall be under at least three feet of water. We will mark the location of the anchor with a highly
visible bout'.
Dredging will preferably be performed when the river is at normal water levels. In no case will any
dredging occur when the river is greater than or equal to three feet above normal.
Thr•rtrrviae-ntlrl nccnrinfrrt ninina whrn mnnrrrt nrr In ho lint nff cn thnt nn nart of tho rirrrion nr
equipment extend out from the bank by more than twenty feet.
Land disturbing activities: Diversion,earthen dikes,silt check dams, sediment ponds, rip rap pits,
ditches will be provided during the initial stages of any land disturbing activities and maintained to
prevent sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas, takes,or natural watercourses, etc.
A three foot high vegetated berm with minimum slopes of 2:1 with a top width of two feel will be installed
and maintained between stockpile areas and the top of the river bank to prevent any over wash and to

every natural point of drainage along the protective berm, The protective berm adjacent to the river bank
shall be a minimum of fifteen feet from the rivers bank.
Slope drains to be installed such that they extend down the river bank to the norm water level of the river.

Land disturbing activities conk.: The boat ramp area is to be stabilized with vegetation in land disturbed
areas and rip rap or large pieces of concrete.
All surface water from the processing, stockpile,and adjacent areas to be diverted to the sediment pond/pit
via diversion devicesfditches. The mine map depicts all such devices used to control surface water.
The boundary of the area affected to be permanently marked.
To prevent continued erosion of river banks riparian vegetation shall be planted when river banks become
exposed and/or unstable.
A fifteen foot undisturbed buffer is to be maintained along the river bank except in areas where access
during the operation is essential. To the greatest extent possible roots, and stumps, etc. are to remain
undisturbed along the rivers bank.
