RE: Gulf Mine No. 3 Renewal
Chatham County, NC
Permit No. 19-11
Dear Mr. Garvey:
Following is a general discussion of the mining project and erosion control evaluation for
the above -referenced Gulf Mine No. 3. The conclusions of this evaluation are reflected
on the prepared mine map.
:1WKY91. ZI�� �Iili 111�1 alll-.1u F.W[WI
The Gulf Mine No. 3 (Permit No. 19-11) contains an approximately 318.5-acre tract of
land in Chatham County, North Carolina. The site is accessed by a service road off
Murchison Road (SR-1925). At the access road, a locked gate will provide control of
inadvertent public access.
Currently, 224.89 acres of land is allowed to be disturbed. Mining will continue as
proposed by the site's latest approved Mine Modification in 2006. Maximum excavation
depth generally will not exceed 20 feet, and no blasting will be required for excavation.
Erosion control structures with perimeter diversion berms are proposed to control
sediment runoff.
CLOSURE
We appreciate serving Hanson Brick on the Gulf Mine No. 3. Please contact us if you
have any questions.
Sincerely,

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
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.
Mining will continue at the locations previously indicated for this mine. Also, new areas of
disturbance will be added to access the new areas. A stream crossing will first be added to access the
new areas. Mining in the new area will initially be conducted at the Proposed Basin G or F. See EZS
mine maps for additional details.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plansfor 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.
The new basins are designed to contain the 10-year rain event and the outlet section consisting of
brickbat can pass the 25-year rain event. During construction of the stream crossing, berms and
temporary sediment traps will be constructed.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ❑ No Z. If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
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 ❑. Ifyes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate
all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map(s).
Stormwater runoff will be through the brickbat filter sections of the sediment control structures.
Pumped stormwater is also transferred to sediment basins from the mine. Stormwater from Basin D
can be pumped into Basin C if necessary. Flocculant is used when pumping stonnwater into basins to
improve the settling process.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table? Yes ® No ❑.
If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes ® No
If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Estimated withdrawal rate
in gallons per day: 1000 . Locate all existing wells on the mine maps) that lie within
.500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statements made,
including any monitoring well data, well construction data and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate
whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
Due to the slow draining of nature of the subsurface soils, the majority of the mine water removal
will be for runoff accumulation. With the exception of the on -site water supply well, there are no
other wells within 500ft of the site.
d. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.) from the
Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required to register water
use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day
and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if the operation lies in a capacity
use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
This facility has a Stormwater Discharge Permit (NCG020504).
Groundwater removal will be less than 10 gallons per minute and less than 1,000 gallons per day.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? Yes ® No ❑.
If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the
Division of Air Quality or local governing body.
This facility has an existing air quality permit (Permit # 06927).
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
The moisture contained in the clay stock piles will minimize wind erosion of these materials. Haul
roads will be wetted to prevent dusting. For example: during drought periods as needed. As an
alternative, a dust suppressant may be applied.

5. a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-
way. It may be an unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms and erosion &
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary

mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).
A 200-foot buffer will be maintained between mining activities and the un-named
intermittent stream.
