Energy, Mineral & Land Resources ENVIRONMENTAL OVAUTY December 1, 2017 Bobby Hanna, Jr B E Singleton & Sons Inc 920 West Third Street Washington, NC 27889 RE: Mining Permit No, 07-06 Sand Pit #1 Beaufort County Dear Bobby Hanna, Jr: ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary TRACY DAVIS Director 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 (919) 707-9220.

The BE Singleton' s Sand Pit #1 located in Beaufort 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 10,000 gpd to 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to register their water withdrawals and if this mine starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd or more of water, they will need to obtain a CCPCUA water withdrawal permit. A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) water withdrawal permit must be obtained from the Division of Water Resources if the withdrawal exceeds 100,000 gallons per day and occurs in Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Duplin, Edgecombe, Greene, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Onslow, Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.

B.E. Singleton & Sons, Inc. is hereby requesting renewal of this permit for a period of 10 years. There are no proposed changes to the current mining operation. Therefore the continued operation of this mine site will not invoke any of the 7 denial criteria listed under G.S. 74-51 of the Act. Included with this letter are an original and five copies of the Mining Permit Application and six copies of the Mine Map. The appropriate mining permit renewal processing fee of $750.00 is also included. The total permitted acreage for the renewal application is 10.90 acres, which is less than the current permitted acreage of 12.24 acres. This reduction of acreage is due to the large scale utilized with the original maps and therefore caused vagueness in the location of the permit boundaries. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.

E. Singleton & Sons, Inc., Washington, Beaufort County. Permit # 07-06. Staff biologists with the Wildlife Resources Commission have completed a review of the project with regard to associated impacts on wildlife and fishery resources in the area. A site visit was conducted on June 21, 1995. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), Section 401(b) of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), 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 permit renewal and modification to continue mining sand from a 55 acre tract of land. The area will be left as a pond upon completion. The application narrative and a site visit revealed adequate buffers (50 feet minimum), proposed 3 :l slopes, and reclamation to occur simultaneous with mining activities. We recommend the deletion of weeping lovegrass from the list of reclamation plants and the addition of browntop millet, crimson clover, and yellow sweet clover for reclamation to enhance wildlife utilization of this area. Autumn olive and shrub lespedeza create excellent screens and provide food and cover for wildlife. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.

Sand Pit #1 - Permit 7-6 Beaufort County On April 25, 1995 I inspected the above mine site (existing areas and modification areas) with Mr. B.E. Singleton, Jr. The 64 acre area that B.E. Singleton and Sons is requesting to be released have been adequately reclaimed into a wildlife lake and adjacent wildlife areas (46 acre lake area and 18 acre adjacent wildlife areas). I recommend release of the 64 acre area. On June 8, 1995 this office received the application for renewal, modification, and request for release of the 64 acres. I have gone through the application and the only comment I have is that this office recommended a 3 to 1 slope extending out to a 4 foot water depth., This is shown on the map but I did not see a slope shown from the 4 foot water depth point to the bottom of the pit. I suspect we could just indicate a minimum slope of 1� to 1 at this point to the bottom of the pit. The 1" = 500' scale is adequate for this site. I agreed to accept this scale. �"' b.���,.i..iYm.'4tiF�sntw.:�r,5r.;.aF-"yY,;�ii�wY'�-?s���i'1'+"v�:s,ia���k�l;'�s.

Singleton & Sons, Inc., to Renew an existing State Mining Permit and request -a Permit Modification from the North Carolina Division of Land Quality, to continue to operate an existing sand mining operation-The.project site is located off the west.side of US Highway 17, adjacent the Tar River,.between the Towns of Washington and Chocowinity, Beaufort County, North Carolina. The project'does not involve the excavation or filling activity of any jurisdictional wetland area of the United States subject to the jurisdiction of Section 404 of the. Clean Water Act. The project does, however, involve the continuation of an existing excavation activity within open waters of the United,States. I am providing this information in order for you to provide my client a Permit'determination from your Department. Based upon my recent experiences with similar requests for Permit determinations by your Department, specifically for those types of activities that involve excavation activities within open waters of the United States, I believe that you'will concur with my opinion that the continuation of this sand mining activity will not require a Department of the Army Permit. Altho ' gh some areas of the original mining pits were constructed within what would a considered jurisdictional wetlands today, they now consist of open water its and would not be considered as wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. In addition, the proposal to Renew and Modify the existing State Mining. Permit, will not involve any expansion into any areas Singjeton Page 2 February 16, 1995 C� ' outside of the existing sand pits that would be considered as wetlands. No excavation or filling activity will occur within any wetland area associated with this Permit Renewal and Modification request. Please contact me with your concurrence that the project willnot require a Department of the Army Permit and is exempt from the permitting authorities of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Thank you for your time and prompt consideration of this request. Please contact meat 919-752-4077 should you have any questions about this or any related matters.

Land Quality Sectio Washington Regional Office RE: Request for Partial Release and Modification B.E. Singleton & Sons, Inc. Sand Pit #1 -- Permit 7-6 Beaufort County On April 25, 1995 I inspected the above mine site (existing areas and modification areas) with Mr. B.E. Singleton, Jr. The 64 acre area that B.E. Singleton and Sons is requesting to be released have been adequately reclaimed into a wildlife lake and adjacent wildlife areas (46 acre lake area and 18 acre adjacent wildlife areas). I recommend release of the 64 acre area. On June 8, 1995 this office received the application for renewal, modification, and request for release of the 64 acres. I have gone through the application and the only comment I have is that this office recommended a 3 to 1 slope extending out to a 4 foot water depth. This is shown on the map but I did not see a slope shown from the 4 foot water depth point to the bottom of the pit. I suspect we could just indicate a minimum slope of 1k to 1 at this point to the bottom of the pit. The 1" = 500' scale is adequate for this site. I agreed to accept this scale. f � l 1 1 { Paco '11 - < S. E. Singleton & Sons, Inc.

Shinn Regional Manager DIVISION OF LAND RESOURCES LAND QUALITY SECTION March 24, 1987 On March 24, 1987, inspections of the following sand mines were conducted with the assistance of Mrs. Dee Harrell of your company. The inspections revealed that the following sites were operating within the conditions as specified in your mining permits: 1. Sand Pit #1 ✓ 2. Sand Pit #2 3. Cherry Run *4. Tayloe *It was noted, however, at the time of inspection, that an outlet ditch had been constructed at the Tayloe Pit. A filtering device such as a riprap gravel filter or silt basin, in conjunction with filter fabric, is needed at the outlet point to filter the discharge during mine dewatering. Feel free to call if you have any questions or if this office can be of any assistance. Also, please thank Mrs. Harrell for assisting me during the inspections. Sincerely, Rudy A. Smithwick, P.G.

Shinn Regional Manager DIVISION OF LAND RESOURCES LAND QUALITY SECTION July 11, 1986 Inspections of the following sand mining operations were performed on July 2, 1986. The following sites were found to be in compliance with the conditions of your. mining permit: 1. Sand Pit #2 2. Tayloe Pit Inspections of the following sites revealed violations of permit conditions: 1. Sand Pit #1 2. Cherry Run Pit It was observed that dumping of asphalt rubble has occurred in mined out areas of the Cherry Run Pit. Asphalt or other contaminants are strictly pro- hibited from being disposed of in areas that are susceptible to contact with ground water and/or surface waters. i It was observed that metals of various types were being discarded at the Sand Pit #1. This also is prohibited and is considered as a violation of operating conditions of your permit. To correct these problems, the following must be performed: Remove all asphalt and dispose of it in proper landfill. Also, all metal fragments, re -bar, wire, etc., must be disposed of ina landfill that will accept substances of these sorts. P.O. Box 1507, Washington, North Carolina 27889-1507 Telephone 919-946-6481 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 0 4 Mr. B.E. Singleton, Jr. B.E. Singleton & Sons July 11, 1986 Page 2 To dispose of such materials (asphalt and/or:metal) at your sites would require a modification of your mining permit. An isolated area designated for dumping of this sort would have to be selected. The area must not be influenced by ground water fluctuation. In order to modify a permit for such activity, a formal request must be initiated and must outline your proposal. The proposal should identify substances to be disposed of, methods of disposal, methods of containment, identification of areas to be used for landfill, etc. The information that you submit would then be considered and a decision made based on review of the information that you supply. Please notify this office within ten days as to your decision. If I can provide you with any additional information, or if you have any gdestions, feel free to call. RAS:mgr Enclosure cc: Thomas E.

S. 74-56 of the Mining Act. The operation was found to be in violation of the 'lining Act at the time of the inspection for the following reason. Condition 3 and 4 of your permit contains provisions concerning degradation of adjacent properties and water courses occurring from offsite sedimentation. The inspection revealed the screening and cleansing process to be utimately discharging unfiltered wastewater directly into adjacent wetlands allowing sediment deposition into the wetlands. A more recent inspection of April 23, 1985, revealed that after being notified of the violation, satisfactory corrective action had already been completed. Wastewater had been routed via a newly cut open channel back into the pit itself; thus, creating a closed loop system. Conservation and reclamation practices otherwise have been found to be in compliance with your mining permit. 1 P.O.

Box 584 Washington, N.C. 27889 Dear Mr. Singleton: On February 12, 1979, an inspection was made of your sand pit #1 in Beaufort County, as required by G.S. 74-56 of "The Mining Act of 1971." The mining operation was found to be in violation of the conditions of your mining permit (Permit #7-6). Specifically, condition number 4 of the permit requires that adequate measures be taken to "...prevent sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas..." Adequate measures have not been taken to prevent sediment -laden water from leaving the dredge screen site, which has resulted in a vast amount of sedimentation damage to take place in wetlands adjacent to the site. Measures must be taken immediately to correct this problem. The most feasible and effective corrective measure is to construct a channel from the screen discharge area back to the pond. Please give this matter your immediate attention; and if I can be of assistance, feel free to contact me. FRW: mgr CC: Mr. James B. Simons Sincerely, loy R.
