Dear Mr. Parr,
Pearat
PRODUCTS CO.
Office 336-786-4693
Fax [phone]
We at Ararat Rock Products Co. would like to make a modification to our North Carolina
mining permit. The modification request includes the addition of 204.45 acres to the East of our
current permit boundary in the direction of the Ararat River. This proposed acreage will be used
primarily for the expansion of our mining pit. Our current consumption rates dictate that we must
uncover new reserves in order to supply demand. The added acreage that we would gain from
this should provide room for operations for the life of the mine as this is a long-term plan. I
appreciate the help that I received from you regarding this matter. Please contact me if any of the
information that we send is inadequate at (336)-657-7988 or [e-mail] Thank you
again.
To the best of knowledge, our mining operations and the activities proposed in our mine
modification request should in no way infringe upon the articles or laws that apply to their
execution. We have not and will strive not to damage or cause harm to the area's groundwater or
to the wildlife or its habitat. As a matter of fact, we have on the mine property a large, healthy
wildlife population that includes Whitetail deer, wild turkeys, coyotes and a diverse wild bird
population. Our future plans include providing habitat and conducive conditions for the local
wildlife. The areas groundwater has not been adversely affected by operations either, as
evidenced by the results of frequent state mandated testing in reference to our water supply at the
quarry. Likewise, having the proper permits concerning water quality as well as air quality and
following to the best of our ability the requirements thereof, our operations should in no way
cause adverse effects concerning these areas. Our water and air quality permit ID numbers are:
NC Air Permit #10370R00 NC Storm Water Permit # 020158
As to the matter of public safety and health consequences of our mining operations, they
shall be non-existent. Although our proposed permitted area covers 204.45 acres our company
owns at this site over 2,000 acres. That in itself, not to mention the fact that we are already in a
fairly sparsely populated area causes a substantial buffer between our mine and the general

population. Per your guidelines we have notified all of the adjoining landowners in the direction
of our proposed expansion. Outside of our notice of intent to modify our permit and the already
N.d high frequency of dump truck traffic in the area, our neighbors hardly even know that we are
here. We strive to be good corporate citizens as well as conscientious neighbors. In reference to
the activities or functionality of any public facility (park, forest, or recreation area) There will be
no affect on such facilities. None exist for many miles in any direction of our facility.
Most of the rain that falls on and then flows over our mine property drains internally into
our pit area. All water that does not drain directly into our pit area is handled by means of
previously approved erosion control manners. Therefore, the possibility that undesirable
sedimentation or other forms of water pollution or contamination could occur has been and will
be very low risk. With our current measures along with the newly designed erosion control
measures as described in the maps provided, we feel confidant in our ability to keep the area's
water clean and safe. The threat of landslides in our particular situation is not a concern as a
function of geologic conditions.
To the knowledge of the officers of this company, Ararat Rock Products Co. has never
forfeited a bond or been subject to the revocation of a permit. Nor has the company been
convicted of any misdemeanor or been penalized as the result of a civil action. We as a corporate
entity should be free of any and all liens, levies, restrictions, or other factors that would cause us
to be denied this permit modification.
I hope that our preparation of the information required by your department is in all ways
adequate and easy to interpret. Please consider our hard work and attention to detail while
I-qw/ preparing this application as you process our request. I would like to thank you in advance for
the expedient and fair manner which I feel sure your department will process our application.
Sincerely,
William Branch
Ararat Rock Products Co.

C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
',qwl 1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
First the overburden is removed, then the rock is drilled and loaded with explosives to fracture the rock.
A hydraulic shovel loads the material onto haul trucks which takes the material to the plant to be crushed,
screened, washed and then stock piled. Front-end loaders then load the finished product onto highway
trucks where it is weighed and sold to customers.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine
excavation(s), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of
installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion
control measures on the mine map(s) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
A 50' foot undisturbed buffer will be left around the perimeter of the proposed acreage with thick
vegetation and trees. Silt fence will be installed on the inside of this buffer before construction of any
sediment catch basins. Catch basins will be constructed for each drainage area prior to any mining
activities. Drainage ditches will be constructed to make sure all runoff flows in the appropriate sediment
basins. Overburden will be removed in each drainage area in a manner that would require all runoff to
drain into the appropriate sediment basin or drain back internally into the pit area. Once overburden is
removed and rock mining activities begin all runoff will then drain internally.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ® No ❑. If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
Our operation recycles the wash -plant water utilizing sediment settling ponds to clean it before reusing the
clean water again in the same process. No chemicals are used during this process.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as a point discharge to
the waters of the State? Yes ❑ No Z. If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate
