Energy, Min era! & Land Resources ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY December 1, 2017 Marshall T. Singleton B E Singleton & Sons Inc 920 West Third Street Washington, NC 27889 RE: Mining Permit No. 07-31 Tally-Whichard Pit Beaufort County 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 (919) 707-9220.

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.

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.

Rogerson, EI, Assistant Regional Engineer 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. ■ � �1 i - �c,:,.

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.

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.

Edwards Mining Program Secretary Land Quality Section William Wescott Coastal Habitat Coordinator August 24, 1995 RECEIVED DEHNR M28 LAND QUALITY SECTION 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.

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. • y pa ��q • North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources James B. Hunt.
