Dear Mr. Martino:
We have reviewed the application your company submitted for the referenced mine site and supplemental
information dated September 04, 2019, October 02, 2019, May 11, 2020, June 01, 2020, August 19, 2020,
October 21, 2020, and December 21, 2020. However, to date, this office has not received all of the information
requested in the letter dated September 16, 2020. As required by 15A NCAC 5B.0013, you are advised that you
have 180 days from the date of your receipt of that letter to submit all of the requested information. The above
referenced letter was signed for on September 21, 2020. Therefore, your deadline to submit all of the requested
information is March 20, 2021.
In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with 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:
In accordance with GS §74-51(d3), the Department may deny a permit upon finding: "That the
operation will violate standards of air quality, surface water quality or groundwater quality that
have been promulgated by the Department. "
Please provide information on how the potential adverse effects to air quality referenced in the
Division of Air Quality's permit denial dated August 24, 2020 will be mitigated, such as a
subsequently approved air permit, or a statement from the Division of Air Quality stating that an
Air Permit is not required.
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.
