LAND QUALITY SECTION
GUIDELINES ON RECLAMATION BONDS
Under authority of G.S. 74-51 and G.S. 74-54 of The Mining Act of 1971, an acceptable
reclamation bond or security is required to be posted with DENR before a mining permit
can be issued. There are several different options available to the applicant in securing
the required bond. The.applicant may choose any one of the methods listed below to
satisfy the statutory requirement. In addition, a permittee may substitute one method of
bonding for another at anytime during the life of a mining permit. The following are
general guidelines describing how to correctly complete each bond option:
GENERAL -
The applicant must use the Department's standard forms when completing the
required reclamation bond. The name on the bond, assignment of savings account,
or irrevocable letter of credit form must be the same as the name of the company or
individual that the application for mining permit was filed under. For example: An
application is filed by Mr. John Q. Public, under the company name of Crushed Stone
Company; therefore, the security must be in the name of Crushed Stone Company. An
exception to this would be for Mr. Public to have the security form filled out to read John
Q. Public d/b/a (doing business as) Crushed Stone Company. This way the mining
permit could be issued in the name of Crushed Stone Company and Mr. Public could
have his name listed on any other financial documents.
1. Assignment of Savings Account:
A. These are issued by an acceptable banking institution licensed to do
business in North Carolina. The applicant and an authorized agent for the
bank must sign the form and both signatures must be notarized.
B. "Savings Account" refers to any savings instrument not*just a passbook
account.- A money market account or certificate of deposit can also be
utilized. Whatever savings instrument is chosen, the original or ohotocopv
of the document issued by the bank(passbook, deposit receipt, actual
certificate of deposit) must be attached to the ong inal assignment form
and both forwarded to the DENR-LQS Central Office.
C. The account numbers and dollar amounts listed on the assignment form
must match those on the savings instrument.
2, Surety Bonds: These are issued by an issuance company licensed to do
business in North Carolina. A Power of Attorney must accompany the completed
on final standard bond form provided by the Department to substantiate that the
issuing agent has authorization to act on behalf of the insurance company.

Re: Roberson—Permit Modification
Permit Number 59-28
Martin, NC
Dear Ms. Wehner,
Eli Bowen Road is a state-maintained road for approximately±2,115 feet to where the
pavement ends.Where the pavement ends, it turns into a stone/dirt path currently being used by
farmers to access fields.The road that is shown going through the property on Google Earth is an
existing farm path,that is currently maintained by the farmers, and ends at the current borrow pit
limits.Therefore,the road shown on Google Earth is not maintained by the NCDOT. There will still be
access to the back side of the property around the outer limits, along the tree line,once mining is
complete.
Please see the attached picture indicating the sign where the state maintenance ends. I've also
attached a google pin drop on Google Maps to represent just where that sign is from an aerial
perspective. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly @ 252-384-2126 or
[e-mail].
Yours Very Truly,

adverse effect on wildlife and freshwater fisheries (G.S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond by October 11,2019
so that we may complete our review of this request within our statutory time limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications, renewals and modifications,this
office will carefully review all proposed erosion and sediment control measures to ensure that they are
sufficient to restrain erosion and off-site sedimentation. However, any comments your agency can
provide regarding effects on wildlife and freshwater fisheries would be greatly appreciated. If your staff
wishes to perform a site inspection, it is recommended that they contact the person submitting this
request to set up a convenient date and time. Also, please send a copy of your comments to the person
noted in the application.

Judy,
In regards to the Roberson Mine 59-28, 1 agree with Capt. Megan Davis for the JD and O&M plan. Referencing the maps
the Southernmost portion appears to be on someone else's land and I can not find a Land Entree Agreement in the
file. There is a power line easement through the property that I would suggest some kind of setback at the power poles
to ensure stability. There are drainage features around the site that may need protection. It appears that Eli Bowen
Road Right-of-Way may traverse through the site and I'm unsure if the NCDOT needs to comment,deny or cottfirm on
this matter. But as far as the addition acreage is concerned I don't see a problem with the modification. Report will be
in IBEAM by Monday 10/14/2019.

Roberson Sand Pit, LLC
Roberson Sand Pit 2
Martin County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit modification request for the above referenced
project.
The Roberson Sand Pit 2 located in Martin County does not appear to have an unduly adverse
effect on ground water supplies. Barnhill Contracting Company is in the process of obtaining a
CCPCUA water withdrawal permit, which would allow a maximum daily withdrawal of 936,000
gpd with a maximum pit depth of 20 ft below natural land surface.
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.
