Dear Mr. Hill, Ms. Gray and Bluegrass Materials:
This office has received notification of Argo Surety's intent to cancel North American
Emerald Mine, Inc.'s (former principal Bluegrass Materials Company, Inc.'s) $83,800.00 mine
reclamation bond (Surety Bond No. SUR0005300). The effective date of the bond cancellation
is November 22, 2013.
Please note that if the bond is not reinstated or replaced by October 23. 2013, the
mining permit(s) will be automatically revoked (G.S. 74-50(c)). Thus, all mining activities must
cease and the entire mine site must be completely reclaimed. Should any further mining
activities occur at the site after this date, such activities will be considered mining without a
permit and subject to further enforcement action, such as civil penalties and injunctive relief.
