RE: Application for Scott Farm Road Mine
Public Hearing
Jones County
Dear *:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources has received considerable correspondence related to the above
referenced mining permit application and, pursuant to G.S. §74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971, the Director has
deemed that a public hearing is warranted. Please find enclosed a copy of the public notice listing the date, time,
and location of the hearing. Also enclosed is a copy of The Mining Act of 1971 for your review.
Please note that a copy of the mining permit modification request and corresponding maps are on our web site for
public information and review prior to the date of the public hearing. The web address is:
https:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energy-mineral-land-permits/mining-program
G.S. §74-51 lists seven denial criteria that can be considered by the Department in making its decision to grant or
deny a mining permit. Please note that the Act does not have jurisdiction over offsite truck traffic, noise, and
potential impacts to property values. G.S. §74-65 explains the Act's effect on local zoning ordinances.
Please contact this office if you have any questions. Your attendance and participation will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Adam Parr
Assistant State Mining Engineer
