RE: Mining Permit No. 07-44

Dear B E. Singleton:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
TRACY DAVIS
Drrccwr
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 [phone].

RE: Letter Requesting Additional Information
Renewal Application
Woolard Pit — Permit No. 07-44
Beaufort County
Dear Judy:
This letter is in response to your December 7, 2010 letter requesting additional
information regarding the Renewal Application for B. E. Singleton & Sons, Inc.,
Woolard Pit in Beaufort County.
Following is a response to each of the information requests:
I . Enclosed are two (2) copies of a revised mine map showing a 25 foot
unexcavated buffer along the western boundary adjoining the 6.55 woods
area. Please not that the adjoining 6.55 acres is owned by the applicant's
daughter.
2. Enclosed are two (2) color photos of the berm along the northwest corner of
the mine. The berm has been in place for almost ten (l 0) years and, as you
can see, has established a very dense vegetative cover and even has pine trees
growing on it. I am requesting that the berm be left as is.
If you have any questions regarding these responses, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Floyd R. Williams, PG, CPESC, CPG
cc: B. E. Singleton & Sons, Inc.

Dear Mr. Singleton:
Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor
Dee Freeman, Secretary
We have reviewed the renewal request your company submitted for the referenced
mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing your
application:
Revise the mine map to clearly show a buffer along western boundary adjoining
the 6.55 woods area. Label it as undisturbed or unexcavated.
2. The cross section of the 10 foot high vegetated berm is not acceptable and
requires 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter slopes. The buffer must then be
increased to accommodate the required slope and provide equipment access to
grade and vegetate said berm.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
above have been fully addressed. In addition, please note the Land Quality Section may
request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application review
progresses.
In order to complete the processing of your application, please forward two (2) copies of
the requested information to my attention at the following address:

Beaufort County, TAR - PAMLICO RIVER BASIN
Dear Ms. Wehner:
In response to your October I I"' letter requesting additional information regarding the
renewal of Mining Permit No. 07-44 (Woolard Mine), on behalf of B. E. Singleton & Sons, Inc., I
have made the following revisions to the original mine renewal map:
1. Added adjoining property owners.
2. Added color boundary lines for area released on August 26, 2010,
and new permit boundary.
3. Provided the details for the existing gravel construction entrance.
4. Provided cross-section of the 10' high vegetative berm.
5, Located dwellings within 300' of the new permit boundary.
Please note that the structure on Tetterton property has been condemned by Beaufort
County. Also the structure located on the 6.55 acre tract in the northwest corner has not been
occupied for many years. B. E. Singleton, Jr. gave the tract of land to his daughter, Ranee
Singleton Holbrook. This tract was included in the August 26, 2010 release.
If you have any question or need any additional information for the Woolard Mine
Application, please contact me.

Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application request for the above referenced project.
The Wooloard Pit 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 permit.
A Central Coastal PIain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) 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.
If you have further questions, you may go to the www.ncwater.ora and click on the link for Central Coastal

Dear Mr. Singleton:
Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor
Dee Freeman, Secretary
We have reviewed the renewal request your company submitted for the referenced
mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing your
application:
1. Revise the mine map to clearly show the new permit boundary, property lines
and names of the adjoining property owners, buffers along the northern
boundary, and all structures within 300 feet of the new permit boundary. Clearly
label the buffers as undisturbed or unexcavated,
2. Provide a cross section of the 10 foot high well vegetated berm.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
above have been fully addressed. In addition, please note the Land Quality Section may
request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application review
progresses.
In order to complete the processing of your application, please forward two (2) copies of
the requested information to my attention at the following address:

Re: Renewal Application — Beaufort County
B. E. Singleton & Sons, Inc.
Woolard Pit — Mining Permit No. 07-44
Dear Mining Program:
Enclosed are five copies of the Application and maps for renewal of Mining Permit No.
07-44. Also enclosed is a check in the amount of $750.00 for the Renewal Application review
fee. I represent B. E. Singleton & Sons, Inc. in applying for this renewal permit.
Please note that we are requesting that reclamation condition No. 2.13 in the renewal
permit, read: "The side slopes to the lake excavation shall be graded to 3 horizontal to 1 vertical
or flatter slopes".
The existing reclamation condition No. 2.B requires that a 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or
flatter slope be provided along the side slopes to the lake excavation to a water depth of 4 feet
and 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter below that level. Also it requires that the slope along the
north side of the pit be graded to a 6 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter slope.
Following are the reasons we are requesting the change:
The original application indicated 3 horizontal and 1 vertical slopes.
The only house remaining next to the mine has been condemned by the County
and no one can live in it.
The 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes are consistent with other permitted mine sites
in the Coastal Plain.
Please call me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Floyd R. Williams, PG, CPESC, CPG

to insure compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on

compliance with any applicable zoning regulations lies with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 40.84 acres and
the amount of land you. are approved to disturb is 34.42 acres.
Please review the permit and notify this office at [phone] of

MINING PERMIT EXPIRATION DATE: September 5. 2010

• • Page 2
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.
Expiration Date
This permit shall be effective from the date of its issuance until September 5, 2010.

the following conditions and limitations:

RE: B E Singleton & Sons, Inc.
Proposed Woolard Pit, Beaufort County
Dear Ms. Wehner,
Enclosed you will find information concerning the notification of additional
landowners for the above referenced mine site. This was the second additional notification
that was required of the proposed mine operator.
Two out of the three adjoining landowners have signed a waiver form concerning
their rights regarding this application process. The original signed waivers are enclosed.
The third adjoining landowner certified notification came back unclaimed after three
attempts. I have also enclosed copies of an updated mine map showing all adjoining
property owners.
After review of this new information by your office, I request on behalf of my
client issuance of this mining permit. If you have any questions or need additional
information, do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].

Tony:
The referenced application has been reviewed and the followoing comments
are made:
A-8 The end use acreage should equal the beginning acreage.
C-6d A cross section of the berm (mentioned in 6c) is on the mine
map.
C-6e Extend the 3:1 slope to a 4 ft. water depth. Note: This is in
an area that is becoming increasingly residential.
Suggest that the portion of the slope be at a 6:1 for ease
of egress/regress for who or whatever may enter the
resultant lake.
D-3 The answer in not the given N/A. A gate at the access point is
mentioned in C-6c
It does not appear that the landowners across SR 1326 have been
notified. This area has public water available, this office has no
knowledge of how many residences within 500 feet of the mine might have
private drinking water wells. There are adequate buffers indicated next
to the "Beaver Dam Canal" (tar -Pamlico buffer rule) to remain in
compliance.
site was inspected on May 31, 2000. It is an inactive agricultural
field. No problems observed. However, there is an unoccupied dwelling
near the mine that is not indicated on the map. I think it is on the
property shown to belong to Gladys Mae Winstead.
I will route this to DWQ ASAP. Thanks
