Dear. Mr. Elliott,
Attached are the seeding recommendations the NC Wildlife Resources Commission requests be
used for mine reclamation sites within the eastern half of the state. These recommendations were
formulated several years ago in cooperation with staff from the NC Division of Energy,Mineral,
and Land Resources,NC Forest Service, and NC Wildlife Resources Commission. These
recommendations provide a more beneficial mix for wildlife, do not include any invasive
species, meet the requirements for the NC Mining Act of 1971, and are the seeding
recommendations provided by NC Wildlife Resource Commission staff during the review of
mining permit applications.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me at
maria.dunnkncwildlife.org or(252)495-5554 if I can provide additional assistance.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to you on behalf of Mr.Joseph Logan Pearce,Woodley Road, Columbia,NC 27925,to
let you know that Mr. Pearce intends to apply to the State of North Carolina to excavate a 3.85-acre
pond, to be known as the Pearce Woodley Mine,on Woodley Road,Columbia,NC 27925,on land he
owns there. Total permit area will be 5.24 acres with 5.24 acres affected The pond will be located on
formerly cultivated land,2.0 miles southwest of Columbia. This letter is to notify you that Mr. Pearce
is applying to the NC Department of Environmental Quality,Division of Energy,Mineral and Land
Resources,for a mining permit to perform the excavation.
One part of the permit process requires Mr. Pearce to send all adjacent landowners and the Tyrrell
County Manager a certified and dated notice of his intention to excavate the pond. This letter and
notice represent only a required part of the paperwork process for his permit with the NC Department
of Environmental Quality and does not require any action on your part regarding NCDEQ.
Mn Pearce seeks to assure you that he will take all measures necessary to prevent physical hazard to
any neighboring dwellings,roads or public facilities,and will also provide adequate fencing or notices
to prevent inadvertent public access to the mining permit area. The pond will be located on private
property off Woodley Road owned by Mr. Pearce,and the excavation area will only be accessible by a
private gated entrance. Please find attached to this letter a map showing the location of the proposed
permit and excavation area.
We appreciate your help and cooperation on these matters. ME Pearce is always available to answer
any questions you may have and can be reached at 252-394-3637. I am also available for any questions
and please do not hesitate to call me at 252-339-9021 if I can be of assistance.

Berm Construction Details
Pearce Woodley Mine
Columbia, NC
Tyrrell County
Narrow-based berm
The narrow-based berm is the most common berm having a top of 2 feet(0.6 m)and side slopes of two
horizontal: 1 vertical.This berm is the most economical to build as it requires the least material.The
steep side slopes of this type of berm eliminate the possibility of working on it with farm machinery.

it �I 2'
NEW BERM EXISTING
GRADE
Berm Construction
The berm construction comprises of the scraping back of the topsoil from the area where the berm and
storage basin is to be built.A subsoil material,free of stones, rubble,stumps etc.and with at least 10%
clay should be used to construct the berm.The material for the berm may be obtained from the area
behind or in front of the berm location or moved from a borrow pit located elsewhere on the farm.An
earth mover will be required to move material from a pit located a distance away while a bulldozer
would be used if material is located in the berm area.
The berm material is to be placed in layers and compacted as each layer is added. After the berm has a
final shape the sides of the berm should also be compacted.
Emergency Overflow
To provide for larger-than designed peak flows,an overflow system is used, namely:
• "The level-top vegetated berm crest"which provides for very flat berm top so that the water will
overflow along the berm length in a thin layer so as not to create erosion problems.

Riprap lined apron located at end of mine dewatering overflow pipe to prevent scour and undermining
in discharge ditch,and to absorb the impact of the water flow and reduce the velocity to non-erosive
levels, before flow reaches wetlands.
Riprap Apron Size:Overflow pipe discharges directly into well-defined channel. The apron will extend
across the channel bottom and up the channel banks to the top of the bank. length of apron will be 20
feet downstream to maintain velocity control of maximum 2.0 feet per second.
Grade: Apron will have zero grade and no overfill at end of apron.
Alignment: Apron will be straight throughout entire length if possible. If curve is necessary to align the
apron with the receiving channel,the curve will be in the upstream section of the riprap.
Materials: Riprap will consist of a well graded mixture of NCDOT Class A(2"to 6")stone or slag.
Thickness:Minimum thickness of riprap will be 1.5 times the maximum stone diameter.

Filter:Operator plans to install a layer of heavy-duty silt fence filter cloth between the riprap and the
underlying soil to prevent soil movement into or through the riprap. Filter cloth will extend to the top of
both channel banks, and edges will overlap 12 inches. Upstream end will be buried 12 inches and
downstream end will be buried if necessary.
Maintenance: Inspect riprap outlet structures weekly and after significant rainfall events to see if any
erosion around or below the riprap has taken place,or if stones have become dislodged. Repair all
damage immediately. Maintain all vegetation adjacent to the channel in healthy condition to prevent
scour or erosion during out-of-bank flow. Control weeds and brush growing in the riprap by cutting.

Sediment Fence (Silt Fence) Construction Details:
Practice Standards and Specifications 6.62
Pearce Woodley Mine
Columbia, NC
Tyrrell County
A temporary permeable barrier erected on small,disturbed areas to capture sediment from sheet flow. It is made of
filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched and supported by steel posts.
Planning:Silt fence will be installed along the east and south permit boundaries,between an erosion control berm and
adjacent blue-line-stream ditch. Narrow width of fenced area will allow only shallow pools to form behind fence while
promoting deposition of sediment and preventing sedimentation into adjacent wetlands. Ends of fence will be curled
uphill in"J" pattern to prevent end flow. Stabilized outlets will be provided to protect the fence system and release
storm flow that exceeds the design.
Design considerations:Silt fence will be constructed of extra-strength synthetic filter fabric. Height of fence will not
exceed 2 feet above natural ground level and will be constructed from a continuous roll to minimize joints. All joints will
be fastened at a support post with 4 feet minimum of overlap. Extra-strength filter fabric will be fastened to road side of
steel posts(installed 2 feet deep)every 6 feet(every 8 feet if using standard strength filter fabric with wire mesh
backing)and fastened with wire ties. Trench will be excavated along inside of fence approximately 4 inches wide by 8
inches deep, into which 12 inches of fabric will be placed along the bottom and side of the trench. Trench will be
backfilled and compacted.
Maintenance: Inspect sediment fence every week and after each rainfall. Make any required repairs immediately.
Replace any collapsed,damaged,or decomposed fence promptly. Remove all fencing materials and unstable sediment
deposits and bring the area to grade and stabilize it after the contributing drainage area has been properly stabilized.
