Dear Mr. Valentine:
We have reviewed the application your company submitted for the referenced mine site. In order for this office to
complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with N.C.G.S. §74-50 and§74-51 of the Mining Act of
1971,please provide the additional or revised information in accordance with the following comments:
1. In your previous response you provided a land entry agreement for the easement along View Nicholson
Rd. However, this section of the road is still not shown within the mine permit boundary. Please
clearly indicate and label on the mine map that the haul road to the nearest public road is included in
the Mine permit boundary.
2. In your previous response you stated that a JD package was submitted on 3/22/23 and attached with the
submittal dated July 17, 2023. No JD information was included in the submittal. You have since
provided the wetland JD form to this Department. However,comments from USACE indicate that his
package was never submitted to them. Please provide proof that you have received a Jurisdictional
Determination(JD) from the USACE for the wetlands.
Please note, this office may request additional information not included in this letter, as the mining application
review progresses. Be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed above have been
fully addressed.
