MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Adam Pan LAND QUALITY
NCDEMLR-Land Quality Section MINING PRppRAM
FROM: Michael Bauer
Ground Water Management Branch
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Request for:
H & S Land, LLC.
Dunnie Hole Mine
Wayne County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit request for the above referenced project.
The Donnie Hole Mine located in Wayne County does not appear to have an unduly adverse
effect on ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the
mine starts to withdraw 10,000 to 100,000 gallons per day (gpd) of water, they will need to
register their water withdrawals with the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA)
water withdrawal program. If this mine starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd or more of water, they
will need to obtain a CCPCUA water withdrawal permit.
15A NCAC 02E .0500: A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) water
withdrawal permit must be obtained from the Division of Water Resources if the withdrawal
exceeds 100,000 gallons per day and occurs in Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Duplin, Edgecombe,
Greene, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Onslow, Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.
If you have further questions, please contact the Division of Water Resources at [phone]
or, send correspondence to 1611 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-1611 or, go online to
