RE: Mining Permit No. 42-16
Robin
Halifax County
Dear John Rightmyer:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. RECAN
Secretary
TRACY DAVIS
Orl ector
This letter is to advise you of recent amendments to the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 which impact the
permit term of your existing mining permit. Pursuant to the passage of House Bill 56, which became law on October 4,
2017 as SL 2017-209, all existing mining permits and any newly issued mining permits are to be issued for the life of site
or for the duration of the lease term. The "life of site" means the period from the initial receipt of a permit for the operation
until the mining operation terminates and the required reclamation is completed.
Considering the above, this letter hereby modifies your existing mining permit to remove all references to the prior
expiration date to convert your permit to a life of site or lease permit effective immediately. No action is required on your
part for this modification to be effective. Please attach this letter to your existing mining permit for future reference. The
mine name and permit number on the permit document, and all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained
therein, shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS §74-51 and GS §74-52 still apply to all new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, SL 2017-209 also enacted a new annual mining
permit operating fee of $400 per mining permit number. By statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be
submitted to this office by December 31, 2017 — see the attached Invoice to remit the initial annual fee payment by this
deadline. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by July 1 of each year with the required
Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS §74-55. Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a
$50/month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.
Lastly, pursuant to GS §74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from $500,000 to $1 million. Any
adjustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this office or addressed during your next requested permit action
unless you contact this office with a written request to have your bond reevaluated.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning regulations. The
responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations remains with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions on the above, please contact Ms. Judy
Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].

Page 2
In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as the Department,
and in conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of
this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the expiration, revocation, or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee`s successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at the designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.
Definitions
Whenever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise,
terms shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-49.
Expiration Date
This permit shall be effective from the date of its issuance until June 11, 2025.

Map provided in application indicatorenulations that could house a stream. Ould not identify/match exact
footprint of site to topographic map. That said, I could see where exiting grading has been ongoing from a review of an
aerial.
Site drains to Quankey Creek, a Class waters in the Roanoke River Basin.
BIMS review failed to reveal a mining stormwater permit. The application/proposal indicated that a sediment basin
would be installed. This will result in an outlet and will trigger the need for a NCG020000 permit.
Recommendations:
- 1 recommend a stream determination to ensure Compliance with 404/401 expectations
- If stream or wetland impacts are proposed- this praiect will need to comply with/secure a 404 permit from the
USACF and obtain a 401 Water Ouality Certification
- Thev will need to secure a mining general stormwater permit.

Rightmyer Machine Rentals, Inc.
Robin Mine
Halifax County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
The Robin Mine located in Halifax County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the mine starts to withdraw
100,000 gallons per day of water, they will need to re ister their water withdrawals with the Division
of Water Resources on an annual basis. The registration form may be obtained from the following link:
http:/hvwww.newater.org/Perinits_and_Regi stration/Water_W ithdrawal_and_"Franslcr_Regi stration.
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute G.S. 143-215.221-1. This statute requires any non-agricultural water user who
withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface water to register and
update withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of
surface water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers.
Water withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by April I for the
Previous year.
If you have further questions regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr with
the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or email him injohn.barrVyinederingov.

Dear Mr. Gibbs:
The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the
required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 42-16 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on May 16, 2015. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance
of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any
zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any
agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 26.24 acres and the amount of land
you are approved to disturb is 21.43 acres.
Please review the permit and contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining
Specialist, at [phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.

complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at the designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department

The subject application has been reviewed and i offer the following
comments:
(1) The previously mentioned problems appear to have been adequately
addressed.
(2) The proposed sediment basin appears sufficient in terms of
efficiency even though the peak discharge during development of the mine
has not been considered. When one adjusts the numbers to account for
the basin storage and the resultant reduction in peak outflow, the
surface area provided is very close to the necessary area for the
required efficiency (close enough to not require an increase in the
basin size).
T would recommend approval of this application. Thanks for your
patience during this busy transition time.

RE: Proposed Robin Mine

Dear Mr. Gibbs:
7002 3150_0003 7D_ SS33 gg38
We have reviewed the application your company submitted for the above referenced
mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing your
application:
✓'I. Access roads must now be considered within the permit boundary and within the
affected acreage for all mine sites. As a result, the property owners Shell, Harris,
�Andleton and those directly across from the access road on SR 1474 must be notified.
2. Provide proof, such as copies of the signed return receipts from certified mail, that the
originally notified 3 landowners and those mentioned in No. 1 above have been property
notified.
�ady indicate on Sheet 1 of 5 the permit boundary. The permit boundary must
include the access road, mine excavation ereas, buffers along the excavation areas to
/other properties and buffers along any waterways and/or wetlands.
"Vera] deficiencies in the sediment and erosion comrol plan were noted. An additional
measure, such as a stone check dam, is needed in the roadside ditch below the
proposed entrance culvert. The check dam can then be incorporated into the culvert
outlet protection.
�/5. An appropriate diversion channel liner must be proposed for both diversion ditches to
the sediment basin.

RE: Proposed Robin Mine
Halifax County
Roanoke River Basin
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
We have reviewed the application your company submitted for the above referenced
mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing your
application:
1. Access roads must now be considered within the permit boundary and within the
affected acreage for all mine sites. As a result, the property owners Shell, Harris,
Andleton and those directly across from the access road on SR 1474 must be notified.
2. Provide proof, such as copies of the signed return receipts from certified mail, that the
originally noted 3 landowners and those mentioned in No. 1 above have been property
notified.
3. Clearly indicate on Sheet 1 of 5 the permit boundary. The permit boundary must
include the access road, mine excavation areas, buffers along the excavation areas to
other properties and buffers along any waterways and/or wetlands.
4. Several deficiencies in the sediment and erosion control plan were noted. An additional
measure, such as a stone check dam, is needed in the roadside ditch below the
proposed entrance culvert. The check dam can then be incorporated into the culvert
outlet protection.
5. An appropriate diversion channel liner must be proposed for both diversion ditches to
the sediment basin.

6. The emergency spillway should be moved to natural ground and not be placed within
the embankment.
7. Provide supporting data for the runoff coefficient or recalculate the basin capacities
using a C value of .3. The peak discharge should be checked against the total spillway
capacity.
8. Specify the number of holes and spacing in the riser. Provide dimensions and
construction details for the concrete anchor, specifically how it will be connected to the
riser.
Please note, the Land Quality Section may request additional information, not included
in this letter, as the mining application review progresses.
The reclamation bond has been calculated using the information submitted in the
application and on the mine maps. The reclamation bond for this site would be $84,500. The
calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the new bond will be required prior to
approval of this request.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings
account form and irrevocable standby letter of credit form for your use in securing the required
bond. The name on the security must be the same as the name appearing on the application
for a mining permit, i.e., Rightmyer Machine Rentals Inc. In addition to one of these
alternatives, you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
above have been fully addressed.
In order to complete the processing of your application, please forward two (2) copies of
the requested information and the bond to my attention at the following address:

As required by 15A NCAC 513.0013, you are hereby advised that you have 180 days
from the date of your receipt of this letter to submit all of the requested information. If you are
unable to meet this deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit information,
in writing, to the Director clearly indicating why the deadline can not be met and request that
an extension of time be granted. If an extension of time is not granted, a decision will be made
to grant or deny the mining permit based upon the information currently in the Department's
files at the end of the 180-day period.
Though the preceding statement cites the maximum time limit for your response, we
encourage you to provide the additional information requested by this letter as soon as
possible. Your prompt response will help us to complete processing your application sooner.

We have reviewed the subject application and offer the following comments:
(1) DAQ finds the plan to use water trucks to abate dust satisfactory, and
expresses no other concerns.
(2) DWQ finds the conceptual design to be acceptable, and believes the general
permit conditions will satisfactorily address their concerns as long as we
are satisfied with the proposed S&E measures.
(3) While the general S&E concept appears acceptable, an addiiional.measure
appears necessary... As "a minimum, a stone check dam is needed in the roadside

(4) Based on the submitted data (and considering the length of the access
road ditches diverting runoff to the proposed sediment basin), the use of
a properly designed temporary matting liner does not appear to be optional.

(5) More complete supporting data-(and`design assumptions) are necessary'

with the site conditions, which would` result'innificant increase in

Although most of these comments are relatively minor, I would recommend that
we have them addressed before the site is permitted in light of the close

FROM: Maria Tripp, Northeast Coastal Region Coordinator

DATE: March 14, 2005
SUBJECT: Mining permit application for Robin Mine, Halifax Comm, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) reviewed this
permit application with regard to impacts of the mine on fish and wildlife resources. The mine site was
visited on. Our comments am provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.0 661-667d), Section 401(b) of the Clean Water Act
of 1977 (as antended), and the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-76 et.
seq., 15 NCAC 5).
The applicant is requesting a new mining permit to mine fill dirt and pit gravel. The mine site is
located in the vicinity of Roanoke Rapids, NC off of Robin Road (SR 1474). The total proposed tract area
of Tract `B" is 23.55 acres, 18.74 of which can be excavated. The area will be planted in pine trees once
mining is complete.
The Commission recommends vear-round planting of kobe or Korean Icspedeza. winter -time
planting of ryc or wheat, and summer -time planting of millet or sorghum to benefit wildlife in the vicinity
of Quankcy Creek. Thaw plants provide erosion control, forage, and cover for a variety of wildlife until
native grasses and the planted pine trees can become established . Sced types including fescue, common
bermuda gmss, and scricca lespedeza provide limited benefits to wildlife, and may be highly invasive and
inhibit eventual establishment of native grasses.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If you need
further assistance or additional information, phase contact me at [phone].

SUBJECT: Application for Mining Permit, Robin Mine, Halifax County, ER 05-0392
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter
74, Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is unlikely that any
archaeological sites which may be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected
by the proposed borrowing. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in
connection with this project.
While we note that this project review is only for a state permit, the potential for federal permits may require
further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-733-4763.
