RE: Mining Permit No. 07-31

Dear Marshall T. Singleton:
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
$501month 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
Wenner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].

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 a 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
Wherever 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.
Modifications
February 20, 2006: This permit has been modified to decrease the permitted acreage to
24.13 acres and the affected acreage at this site to 21.61 acres. This modification includes
the change in the location of the haul road and a decrease in the affected acreage by 2.69
acres to account for the 25 foot undisturbed buffer between the excavation area and the
mining permit boundary to protect adjacent properties.
This permit shall be effective from the date of its issuance until July 13, 2025.

Dear Mr. Hanna:
June 3, 2015
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
We have reviewed the renewal request your company submitted for the referenced
mine site.
In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with
GS 74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the additional or revised
information in accordance with the following comments:
The permit boundary cannot be reduced while mining continues within the pond area.
However, if the elopes are stable and permanently vegetated, the affected area can be
reduced. Revise the mine map to show the entire 24.13 permit boundary. Since the
slopes are reclaimed, the affected area can be reduced to 4.065 acres and shown as
such on the mine map. 11
Please note, the land Quality Section may request additional information, not included
in this letter, as the mining application review progresses.
The reclamation bond calculation worksheet submitted with the renewal request has
been verified. The reclamation bond for this site would be $4,900.00. You may wish to reduce
the $183,200.00 Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit on file with this office for all of your
company's mine sites to $167,800.00. See the bond table.

1. The area requesting to be released is connected to the active dredge area. It is recommended that
the applicant request this area be converted to undisturbed buffer. The perimeter slopes area
adequately reclaimed.
2. The undisturbed buffer near the renewal area appears to have been disturbed in the past. Material
is stockpiled in this area and the haul road goes through it.
3. The dredge operation is not shown on the mine map.
Pictures of reclaimed slopes will be uploaded to IBEAM.
If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.

Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application request for the above referenced
project.
The Talley-Whicard Pitlocated 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,rEdgecombe, Greene, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Onslow,
Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.

RE: Talley-Whichard Mine
Permit No. 07-31
Beaufort County
Dear Ms. Boyer,
The mining permit for the Talley-Whichard Mine (Permit No. 07-31) has a mining
expiration date of February 20, 2016. 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
operating and reclamation conditions. Therefore the continued operation of this mine site will not
invoke any of the 7 denial criteria listed under G.S. 74-51of 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 4.27 acres, which is less than
the current permitted acreage of 24.13 acres. As part of this renewal request, we are requesting
release of 19.86 acres. The proposed area to be released consists of 15.17 acres of pond, 2.59
acres of buffer zone and 2.1 acres of reclaimed unexcavated area.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need additional
information.
Sincerely,
7FRb-ertrHa nna

0 Revised 2/2012
As provided in G.S. 74-52 of The Mining Act of 1971, a mining permit may be renewed at any time
during the 2 years prior to its expiration. The following items are required to renew a mining permit:
1 ? The appropriate mining permit renewal processing fee must be submitted to the
Land Quality Section Central Office (see fee schedule).
One {1) Original and Four (4) coRles of the following are required:
2) The permittee must complete a new mining permit application form except for the
Notification of Adjoining Landowners Section. The renewal can only cover the acreage
under the existing mining permit for the site. If any additional acreage is to be affected
by mining, a modification request (including the corresponding processing fee) must
accompany the renewal request.
3) A letter must be submitted to the Land Quality Section by the permittee requesting renewal
of the mining permit for a period not to exceed 10 years and must clearly address how the
continued operation will not invoke any of the 7 denial criteria listed under G.S. 74-51 of
the Act. This letter must also describe any expected changes in the operation of the mine
and must state whether additional land is to be added or affected by mining at this site.
Additional acreage to be added to this permit (affected or unaffected) will require a
modification request (including proper notification of new adjoining landowners and the
local government, as well as the appropriate modification processing fee). New
disturbances within the permitted area requiring new sediment and/or erosion control
measures will also require a modification to the mining permit.
4) An updated mine map must be submitted for the site delineating the sizes and locations of
all existing and proposed features of the mining operation, including sediment and erosion
control measures. Typical construction details must be submitted for each sediment and
erosion control measure, existing or proposed (although supporting design calculations for

RE: Permit No. 07-31
Talley-Whichard Mine
Beaufort County
Tar -Pamlico River Basin
Dear Mr. Singleton:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
Your application for renewal and modification of the above referenced mining permit
has been approved. The modification is to decrease the permitted acreage to 24.13 acres
and the affected acreage at this site to 21.61 acres. This modification includes the change in
the location of the haul road and a decrease in affected acreage by 2.69 acres to account for
the 25-foot undisturbed buffer between the excavation area and the mining permit boundary to
protect adjacent property. A copy of the renewed and modified permit is enclosed. The new
expiration date is February 20, 2016.
The conditions in the renewed and modified permit were based primarily upon the initial
application. Modifications were made as indicated by the renewal and modification requests
and as required to insure compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. 1 would like to draw your
particular attention to the following conditions where minor additions or changes were made:
Operating Condition Nos, 1 B, 2A, 4A, 5, 10, and 13, and Reclamation Condition No. 2.
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.
r
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 24.13 acres and the amount of
land you are allowed to disturb is 21.61 acres.

As previously stated in a letter dated December 7, 2005, the reclamation bond has
been calculated using the information submitted in supplemental information and on the mine
map last revised October 18, 2005. Based on the information provided, the reclamation bond
for this site would be $14,900.00. Currently on -fie for this site is a $26,500.00 surety bond.
This bond may be reduced by $11,600.00 to a total of $14,900100 if you wish.
Please review the renewed and modified permit and contact Mrs. Kristin Hicklin,
Assistant State Mining Specialist, at [phone] should you have any questions
concerning this matter.

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, revolve 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 a designated time and place 'on any proposed modification, revocation or

Dear Mr. Singleton, Jr.:
We have -reviewed the'renewal:request submitted.for,the referenced mine site.
However, the following information is needed -to -continue processing your application:
The supplemental information and mine map last revised October 18, 2005 indicated a
modification in the location and acreage of the haul road. According to Mr. Hood
Richardson, the affected acreage would decrease at the site by 0.13 acres with the
proposed haul road. Since this change would qualify as a modification, please submit a
check for $100.00 to cover the modification fee.
2. The reclamation bond has been calculated using the information submitted in
supplemental information and on the mine map last revised October 18, 2005. Based
on the information provided, the reclamation bond for this site would be $14,900.00.
Currently on -file for this site is a $26,500.00 surety bond. This bond may be reduced by
$11,600.00 to a total of $14,900.00 if you wish.
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:, B:E: Sin leton,and Sons Inc. -.In-,addition tc-one of these alternatives,
you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.

Dear Mr. Singleton, Jr,:
December 7, 2005
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
We have, reviewed the renewal request submitted for the referenced mine site.
However, the following information is needed to continue processing your application:
1. The supplemental information and mine map last revised October 18, 2005 indicated a
modification in the location and acreage of the haul road. According to Mr. Hood
Richardson, the affected acreage would decrease at the site by 0.13 acres with the
proposed haul road. Since this change would qualify as a modification, please submit a
check for $100.00 to cover the modification fee.
2. The reclamation bond has been calculated using the information submitted in
supplemental information and on the mine map last revised October 18, 2005. Based
on the information provided, the reclamation bond for this site would be $14,900.00.
Currently on -file for this site is a $26,500.00 surety bond. This bond may be reduced by
$11,600.00 to a total of $14,900.00 if you wish.
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., B.E. Singleton and Sons, Inc. In addition to one of these alternatives,
you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.

SUBJECT: Mine Permit Renewal
Talley-Whichard Pit
Application No. 07-31
Beaufort County
Tar -Pamlico River Basin
Mr. B. E. Singleton, Jr. is requesting to renew their above referenced mine permit.
Please find the following comments concerning some of the additional information
submitted in response to the ADI dated September 9, 2005:
2
u 3. The haul road has been included in the permit boundary on the mine map.
4. The ownership of the haul road still has not been clarified.
Please find the following additional comments:
The map now shows a total permitted acreage and total affected acreage to
reflect the current permitted and • affected acreage of 24.3 acres. However,
there is a discrepancy with the fact that they have added the haul road to th
permitted acreage and have not released any areas which would hav kv V . j 4 )A-
increased, the permitted acreage to greater than 24.3 acres, which is currently Q�
permitted.
The dredge pond is now shown on the amine map within the permit boundaries\v��
However, thru the field inspection it appears that the dredge pond shown on
the map received on August 11, 2005 is a more accurate depiction thti_zkk�ti
one shown on the map received on September 20, 2005. Because the c
permit boundaries have not been marked we are unable to verify which
the accurate one depicting what is currently in the field.
V�'
�L n .� '
1. It appears on the US Topo maps provided that there are wetlands adjacent
to the permit boundary. This is not shown on the map provided.

2. On Page 2 of the permit application it states that the total permitted 6
s
acreage will be 22.89. The total permitted and affected acreage covered
by the existing permit is 24.3, of which 1.01 is leased from Mrs. To
Tally. The permit renewal acreage is less than what is in the existing
permit and no acreage has been released during the current permit. Please- q'pf
have this clarified.
3. On page 3, Question #4, the amount of mining depth in part a. and b. have
increased from 20' to 22' and 10' to 15' respectively. '
4. On the map it states that a 25' undisturbed buffer will be provided, but the
new mining application states that a 25' unexcavated buffer will be
provided. The current permit allows for a 25' undisturbed buffer for both I AD�LL
the permit boundaries and adjacent waterways. Please have this clarified. pM� ivu-01S
The permit renewal application has proposed several changes to the
existing permit, which would require a modification along with a renewal request.
It appears that additional information is still needed in order for our office to
complete a review of the proposed application.
An inspection of the site was conducted on October 11, 2005. The mine
map submitted on September 20, 2005, appears to be accurate except for the
discrepancy in the actual location of the dredge pond in Area 4. It appears that it
has gone beyond the existing permitted and affected boundary as shown on the
map submitted August 11, 2005. There is some off site generated material
located on the site that will need to be removed. (This office will pursue having
this material removed from the site). It also appears that a haul road exists within
the 25' undisturbed buffer according to the current mine permit.
Comments still 'have not been received from Water Quality and will be
forwarded as soon as they are received.
If you have any further questions or concerns about the mining permit
application please do not hesitate to call me.

the mine map to encompass the dredge pond within the mining area.
3. The haul road must be' included in the permit boundary and shown on the revised mine V/
map. ;
4. lease clarify who owns the haul road property. If Ms. Elizabeth Talley owns said
property, then she must sign a Land Entry Agreement' (Page 18 of the application).

LAIV� QUALITY SECrlON
Mr. B. E. Singleton, Jr. is requesting to renew their above referenced mine permit. Please find
the following continents concerning the above referenced mine application submitted:
1. It appears on the US Topo map provided that there are wetlands adjacent t e �
permit boundary. This is not shown on the map provided. da �VN ti C1�
J&Vvv
2. On page 2 of the permit application it states that the total permitte
22.89. The total (overall) acreage covered by the existing permi is 24: , o which
1.01 is leased from Mrs. Tom Tally. The permit renewal acreage is what is
in the existing permit and no acreage has been released during the current permit.
Please have this clarified.
3. On page 3, Question # 4, the amount of mining depth in part a. and b. have
increased from 20' to 22' and 10' to 15' respectively. () � h - , �y
�4. It appears on page 5 that there is additional acreage being added. It appears that the
permitted acreage is to be increased from 24.3 acres to 44.62.
5. On page 15, notification of adjoining landowners has not been completed. The
permitted acreage has beeq in eased 'and a ining landowners will eed tto be
noticed. 1v6�` =►► �s`. W%� �� �,�r-TAa-4'L� h Cl0-ti"�`
6. A land entry agreement has been provided from Mr. B. E. Singleton, Jr., but one h;W':C
not been provided by Ms. Elizabeth Talley. A check of our records shows that

2/ It appears that the existing permit boundary has been expanded from the affected
Jacreage to the property Emits, which has increased the permitted area from the
existing 24.3 acres to 44.62 acres.
It appears on the reap that mining (dredge pond has occurred beyond the existing
' affected /permitted acreage. The affected limits need to be modified to include this
area and all other aspects related to this modification need to be changed with
respect to the additional acreage.
4. On the map it states th a 25' undisturbed b be provided, but the new
mining application states a a 25' unexcavated buffer will be provided. The
�4 current permit allows for a 25' undisturbed buffer for both the permit boundaries
and adjacent waterways.
The permit renewal application has proposed several modifications to the existing permit such as
increasing the permitted acreage, mining depths, and affected acreage, which would require a
modification along with the renewal request. It appears that additional information will need to be
submitted in order for our office to complete a review of the proposed application.
An inspection of the current miring operation has not been completed due to travel restrictions
brought on by Hurricane Katrina. At which time these restrictions are lifted, an on -site inspection
will be completed and comments will be forwarded.
The comments from Air Quality are enclosed and the comments from Water Quality will be
forwarded once they are received.
If you have any further questions or concerns about this mining permit application please do not
hesitate to call me.

Dear Mr. Singleton:

IDEHNR
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. 07-31 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 September 22, 2005. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a
mining permit does not supersede local zoning regulations. The
responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations lies
with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage and affected acreage for this
site are both 24.3 acres, as indicated in the application and on the mine
map dated July 12, 1995.
Please review the permit and notify this office at [phone] of
any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.

In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which
is hereby approved by the Department of Environment, Health 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 a 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.

Re: Tally-Whichard Pit

Dear Mr. Singleton:

DEHNFi
Your application for,a mining permit for the above
referenced mine site has been reviewed. Enclosed is a draft of
the mining permit proposed by the Department. The conditions in
the draft permit were based primarily upon information supplied
in your application with conditions added if necessary to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been recalculated for this site
using the information submitted on the mine map dated
July 12, 1995 (see attached worksheet). The bond amount for this
site is $25,600.00. For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond
form, an assignment of a savings account form and an irrevocable
standby letter of credit form. The name on the security form
must be the same as the name appearing on the enclosed draft
permit, i.e., B. E. Singleton and Sons, Inc.. In addition to one
of these alternatives you may, upon request, substitute a cash
deposit.
Please review the draft permit and the reclamation bond
worksheet and contact this office should you have any objection
or question concerning the permit conditions. G.S. 74-51
provides the operator 60 days following the mailing of
application approval notice in which to file the required surety.
The permit will be issued when the required security has
been received. No mining may be conducted until the permit is
issued. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit
does not supersede local zoning regulations. The responsibility
of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations lies with
you.

Mining Permit Application Request for B. E. Singleton & Sons, Inc., Tally-
Whichard Mine, Washington, Beaufort County.
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 August 24, 1995, Our continents 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 to mine sand from a 24.3 acre tract of land. The area
will be left as a pond upon completion. The application narrative and a site visit revealed 25 foot
buffers, proposed 3:1 slopes, and reclamation to occur simultaneous with mining activities. An
existing farm road will be widened to serve as the haul road. The haul road crosses two wetland
areas. The proposed mine site will be located within an existing field.
We recommend that buffers between mining activities and wetlands be -widened to 50 feet.
Silt fences and vegetated road shoulders should be used to minimize sedimentation where the haul
road crosses wetlands. We recommend 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 continent on this project. If you have any concerns
regarding our comments, please contact William Wescott at [phone].

RE: Comment on Mining Application
B.E. Singleton & Sons
Talley - Whichard Pit
Beaufort County
The application has been reviewed. I have no comments
beyond your letter to Marshall Todd Singleton (August 1, 1995).
Floyd Williams inspected the site in the summer of 1994. It
is an isolated agricultural field. That there is a platted
Subdivision within 500 ft. of the permit boundaries should be no
problem. The operator is proposing to dewater the mine, but the
water table is within a foot of the surface. I do not feel that
the relatively small amount of dewatering proposed will have an
adverse impact on the adjacent property.
Advise if we can be of further assistance.

Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is
unlikely that any archaeological sites which may be eligible for inclusion 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.
