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.

Before mining of sand begins in the designated pit area, the topsoil is removed by a dozer. The topsoil is placed on the buffer zone immediately adjacent to the pit crest, forming a berm along the pit crest. A backhoe is then used to excavate the sand, placing it in a pile on the surface. Each mining sequence usually consist of around 1,000 cu. yds. since that is usually the maximum storage area available. At this point, mining ceases until all of the stockpiled sand has been hauled away by front-end loader/dump truck. At this point, a high volume low head pump (S in discharge) is used to de -water the pit. The water is discharged across a permanent plug into an adjoining pit that has been completed. When the discharge water into this pit reaches it's capacity, the excess water then flows through a pipe into another pond. Usually, all of the discharge water from the active pit is handled by the available free -board in the pond areas (completed pits). This sequence is repeated over and over until mining in the designated pit is complete. For details see Maps No. 2 and No. 5 in the map package. Also, see the sketch No. 5-A in this segment. C-2. The mine is located on cleared sandy farm land. No rainwater ponds or runs off, it soaks into the soil. Therefore, no erosion control is needed. However, a section of silt fence (erosion control) will be placed where the haul road crosses LINE BRANCH, which is between SR-1934 and the old farm house. For details, see Map No.1. C-3-C. The water table is a shallow aquifer contained within the sand layer. This aquifer is within 4 ft. of the surface and is contained by a clay layer approximately 20 ft. below the existing ground surface (approx. 16 ft deep). There are no existing wells within a mile or more of the mine site. Water for the old home place is provided by the Beaufort County Water Management System. C-4-b. There is no dust from the stockpile. The haul road is along the existing farm field road and adjacent to the woods. Haul speeds along this road is less than 15 miles per hour. Any dust will go into the woods or farm field. tkaw 6-u tR I '0cl„ S-r yea s a pr��f�,� 1'7' w,)l G{- 5prAyaA terM wh:rMA-- APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT E.

The de -watering pump is located in the end of the active pit nearest a completed pit (pond). Water is discharged into the pond. If and when the volume being discharged is larger than the available free -board in the receiving pond, the additional water will flow by transfer pipe into/another pond. If the available free -board in this pond is not sufficient to handle the water, then the excess water will sheet flow over a 30 ft. section of Pit No. 1 near the northeast corner. This clear water will flow through over 400 ft. of wooded.areTbefore it reaches Juniper Swamp. In all of the years the mine has been active, this has only happened twice.

JAY ZIMMERMAN Al"', l'nf 'FCEIV ED DEC 3,0 ZA LAND QUALITY MINING PR©GRA Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project. The Walker Mine located in Beaufort County may have an unduly adverse effect on ground water supplies. This mine will need to obtain a CCPCUA permit if the mine is withdrawing 100,000gpd of water. If the mine is withdrawing 10,000 gpd to 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to register their water withdrawals. I have attached the CCPCUA permit application form and water use registration form for the permit applicant to complete.

Walker Mine located in Beaufort County appears not to have an unduly adverse'effect on ground water supplies. However, future monitoring of adjacent private supply wells may be required if adversely impacted from the dewatering of the surficial aquifer at the Walker Mine. If the mine is withdrawing 10,000 gpd to 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to register their water withdrawals and if this mine is withdrawing 100,000 gpd or more of water, they will need to obtain a CCPCUA permit. Any water withdrawal will be subject to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.22H; Registration of Water Withdrawals and Transfers Required. Any person who withdraws in one day 100,000 gallons (70 gpm) or more of surface water or ground water in North Carolina is required to register the withdrawal with the Division of Water Resources. A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area 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, Dupl in, Edgecombe, Greene, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Onslow, Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.

It is located well off the road in a fairly remote part of the county. There are only 2 houses visible from the site. The closest one is.unoccupied and belongs to the land owner. The site access is via a farm path that continues into a heavily wooden area. The road will not be disturbed by the mining activity. The site is very sandy and, according to the owner, because of its porosity not a good field for production of any crop except tobacco. The application appears complete, except for the notarizing of page 18. I have returned said page to the applicant for completion. Note: Two copies of the notarized page where hand delivered to Tony on Monday June 10, 1996. The applicant might at some future time need to dewater the excavation. However, the effluent will be pumped onto the adjacent field where it will percolate into the ground. There will be no discharge into waters of the State. I didn't notice any feature that would invoke the'denial criteria. Beaufort County is a coastal county. This site drains to the head waters of Durham Creek and is in lower the Tar -Pamlico drainage basin. The DEM classification is C, NSW. • � �i,y^ � y `5�. � y 4� Y r _ i1 ` r, .; . �,: _ � _ .. � ..
