Dear Vulcan Construction Materials LLC;
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 can October 4,
2017 as S.,2017-209, all existing mining permits and aly 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 compieted.
Considering the above, this letter hereby modifies your existing min[ng permit to remove all references to the prior
expiration date to convert yourpermit to a life of site or lease permit effective immediately, No action is required can your
part for this modification to be effective, Piease attach this letter to yoar existin irshn rmit for future reterence. The
mine name and permit number on the permit document, and all existing operat ng and reclamation conditions conmined
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 raining 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 2016, the$400 annual operating fee mast he 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
$ 01month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.
Lastly, purs«ant to GS§74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from $500,000 to$1 million. Any
adjustments needed in existing hands will be initiated by this office or addressed touring your next requested permit action
unless you contact,this office with a written request to have your bond reevaluated_
The issuance of a mining i permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning regulations, The
responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning -egulations -ermine 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.
Sincerely.
