Dear Louland LLC:

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 §714-54, 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].

Robert,
Please find attached the mining permit application review form for the Louland Pit in Beaufort County. The applicant
suggested that they would not be dewatering from the site (instead pumping from pit to pit), but there is an overflow
spillway on one of the pits shown on the plan sheets that would be a point of discharge, and therefore would likely need
an NCG02 permit, or for the spillway to be blocked/removed. Also, there is a note on the plan sheets that describes
what is thought to be "beneficial fill", but it looks like an old definition, and would need to be updated (to remove things
like concrete of any kind, which don't count as beneficial fill any longer).

Comments on the Mining Permit Renewal Request for:
Louland LLC
Louland Pit
Beaufort County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced
project.
The Louland 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 re ister 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 withdrawalpermit.
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.
If you have further questions please contact the Division of Water Resources at [phone]

Turkey Path Pit 54-62 Comments: site visit on 6/27/17
1- Receipts from notified landowner not provided.
2- Pg. 9 C-7 A visual screen is needed especially the southeastern corner of the permit - very near residential
housing,
3- App shows proposed depth of excavation is approx..15 feet (The mine is active due to the approved single

4- Pg. 8, C-5b No information provided for undisturbed buffers — recommend 50 foot undisturbed buffer along the
eastern property line.
5- Where does the dewatering discharge going from the permit area? Not very clear on the map. A drainage ditch
is within 40 feet of the proposed outlet of the pit. Google topo shows the drainage ditch a possible blue line
ditch.
Single source borrow lenoi-2017-009 will be closed out after the permit is approved.
Louland Pit renewal 07-53 comments: site visit 6/21/17

control device at the outlet.
3- Pg. 7 C- 3c & d revise the box to yes and provide details of the amount of discharge etc.

Re: Louland Pit
Beaufort County
Tar River Basin
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Your recent request to have the above referenced mining permit modified has
been approved. The modification is to increase the permitted and affected acreage at this site
to 30.77 acres as indicated on the mine map last revised March 7, 2011. The modification
includes expansion of the excavation limit to the north, east and west. Secondly, the
modification allows for dewatering activities by pumping pond to pond. Thirdly, the
modification allows the importing of clean construction materials for reuse and the temporary
stockpiling of asphalt for recycling. A copy of the modified permit is enclosed.
The conditions in the modified permit were based primarily upon the initial application.
Modifications were made as indicated by the modification request and as required to insure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. The expiration date, mine name and permit number
shall remain the same as before the modification. I would like to draw your particular attention
to the following conditions where minor additions or changes were made: Operating Condition
NoAD, 4E, 5, 10E and 13 and Reclamation Condition No. 2D.
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
lies with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage and affected acreage for this site are both 30.77
acres, as indicated on the mine map last revised March 7, 2011.
As we have received the $26,500.00 Assignment of Savings Account issued by
Southern Bank and Trust Company, I am returning the $25,300.00 Assignment of Savings
Account issued by Southern Bank and Trust to you for your disposal.

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.

Re: Louland Pit

Dear Mr. Armstrong:
The review has been completed on the modification request you/your company
submitted for the referenced mine site. However, the following is needed to continue
processing your application:
The reclamation bond was calculated for this site using the information submitted on the
revised mine map. The reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be $26,500,00.
The calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the bond or balance ($1,185.00.00)
will be required prior to approval of this renewal.
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., Louland L.L.C. In addition to one of these alternatives, you may, upon
request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that the modification request cannot be completed until the new bond
amount has been received.
As required by G.S. 74-51 (h), you are hereby advised that you have 60 days from the
date of your receipt of this letter to submit the reclamation bond. If you are unable to meet this
deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit information, in writing, to the
Director clearly indicating why the deadline can not be met and request that an extension of
time be granted.

Judy,
Please see below our additional comments for the above mine:
Prefer to have the mine operator move the asphalt stockpile to an area outside the permit boundary.
Show the haul road within the mine permit boundary. Exclude the materials currently stockpiled near
the entrance of the haul road.
Please call if you have any questions,

Subject: Re: Louland Mine permit
Hood,
I pulled your registration form and Table 2E was not filled out. Please fill this section out since this gives us the
ocatio t e ro oe wa toe tewe zt 11
an you do not fill out the top or bottom of screen columns. You may fax that to 919-733-3558 and make it to my
attention. It does not matter to us that the water is not leaving the property. It is the act of taking water out of the
ground and please remember that it only takes 1 day out of the year of pumping more than 100,000 gpd that would
require a CCPCUA water withdrawal permit. If the mine stays under 100,000 gpd the only requirement for
reporting water withdrawals is through registration which is annual reporting.
I would send Land Resources a copy of the registration form once corrected and make a note that since the water
withdrawals are under 100,000 gpd and you only need to register with DWR.
You may want to consider leaving a phone number to get in touch with you when you send an email. Thanks,
Gabrielle

You may use either table or both tables below to report water use depending on what sources of water (ground or surface) you use, however you must convert inches of irrigation
water per day to gallons per day using the following formula:
(Average number of acres) X (average number of inches of water applied per day) X (27,152,40 gallons per acre -inch) = gallons per day

Note to Irrigation Water Users;
You may use either table or both tables below to report water use depending on whal sources of Wester (ground or surface) you use, however you must convert inches of irrigation
water per day to gallons per day using the following formula:
(Average number of acres) X (average number of inches of water appiied per day) \ (27,152.40 gallons per acre -inch) = gallons per day
Example: (25 acres) X (0.5 inches of water) X (27,152.40) = 339,405 gallons per day

Responding to your letter requesting additional information dated April 4, 201 l:
I . The storage volume of Pond A and Pond B are 2,000,000 gallons and 6,360,000 gallons respectively.
These ponds do not presently have drainage outlets and outlets are not required in this flat topography.
Freeboard to the local seasonal high water table is three feet. These ponds are not fed by a drainage basin.
The pump will produce 12,000 gallons per hour and operate 8 hours per day. Pumps will be operated
between sun -up and sun -down. Pumping will be from pond to pond and is estimated to.be required about
20 days each year.
2. Because we will be moving,less than 100,000 gallons per day a permit is not required from the Division of
Water Resources.
3. Off site generated stockpiles for soil and asphalt with acreage are shown on the map. The area to be filled
is shown on the map. Cross section of the filled pond with acreage is shown on the map. Asphalt is not to
be used for fill. Water from the ponds may be used for irrigating farm crops.

Judy,
I have only one comment to make.
• I'm not in favor of stockpiling broken asphalt within the permit boundary; I do not have a problem with
the other material he is planning to bring on to the mine permit area. However, we should make it
clear that only clean soil can be brought in, free of asphalt chunks, plastic pipe, rebar and broken
concrete with rebar, to be stockpiled within the permit boundary.
Please give me a call if you have any questions,
Gary A. Novak .

Major Modification
Dear ms. Wehner:

[phone]
March 8, 2011
Responding to your letter of February 28, 1011:
1. Enclosed are copies of return receipts and unclaimed mail as proof of notification.
2. The buffers are labeled un-excavated. All drainage ways are shown. The north arrow is convected.
3. The owner desires to de -water by pumping from pond to pond. Also, pond water may be used to irrigate
crops. The storage area for pumped water are the two excavated ponds. No more than 90,000 gallons per
day will be pumped from pond to pond. No more than 90,000 gallons per day will be used for irrigation.
4. Details for the stone and gravel sediment traps are shown. Please note that this property and adjoining
properties are flat.
The drainage ditch along the east side is a common ditch and is also used by the farmer on the east side to
drain land to keep from drowning crops. Therefore, the owner proposes to grade the buffer area so that
surface water drains to the excavated ponds. All disturbed areas in the permitted area are to drain to the
excavated ponds. This is indicated by surface water direction of flow arrows along the east boundary.
5. Off -site generated material has been removed from the permitted and the modified permit areas.
The owner desires to be able to bring clean construction materials (concrete, brick, used stone, soil, and old
asphalt) onto the site for stockpiling in permitted areas. Such stockpiles would have swaled drainage
directing surface water to the excavated ponds. These materials may be removed from the site from time to
time.
In addition, the owner desires to bring clean construction materials as described above with the exception
of asphalt on to the site for the purpose of filling a part of the ponds.
Also, the original permit calls for the use of silt fencing along roads. Site conditions are such that silt
fencing is not required at any location on this site.
Three sets of maps with the requested changes are enclosed.

Natural Resources
Dee Freeman, Secretary
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
The Louland 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 Plain 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
Plain Capacity Use Area or contact the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or send correspondence

Dear Mr. Armstrong:
Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor
Dee Freeman, Secretary
We have reviewed the modification request your company submitted for the referenced
mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing your
application:
Provide proof, such as copies of the return receipts from certified mail, that any
new adjoining landowners and county manager have been properly notified.
2. Label the buffers on the mine map as undisturbed or unexcavated. Show the
location of all drainage ways on the mine map. Correct the north arrow.
3. A pump has been reported on site. Clarify dewatering activities at this site.
Pumping from one pit to another still constitutes dewatering activities. If this is
what you intend to do, provide details, including gallons per day to be pumped
and storage area for the pumped water, if you do not intend to discharge.
4. Provide sediment and erosion control measures along the field ditch on the east
side. Include a construction detail for the proposed stone and gravel sediment
trap.

Permit from the Aquifer Protection Section LAPS). OR may instead be permitted under NCG020000 to eliminate an additional permit.
Recycle systems that do not meet those criteria are considered dischaminq systems, and are subject to the NCG020000 discharge
hermit.
**To obtain 7Q10 flows, permittees must contact the DWQ Stormwa ter Permitting Unit. If DWQ does not have a flow estimate fora
specific stream, permittees will be asked to obtain one. Permittees should contact J. Curtis Weaver at the USGS: 919-571-4043, for
more information on obtaining a 7Q10 flow. USGS will not determine a 7Q10 flow for tidally influenced water bodies.

Judy,
The permit modification was field reviewed on 2/11/2011.
Comments for the above are listed below.
Map:
• Identify the 25' buffers as either unexcavated or undisturbed. Note: if undisturbed no mining activity
(including haul roads) is permitted in that buffer.
Expand the permit on the northern area to include the field ditch and provide erosion and sediment
control measures accordingly.
• Provide a detail for the rock and gravel sediment trap.
Application:
• If dewatering activities are needed submit changes for this modification to include proposals for
dewatering either pit to pit or discharging off site.
0 Off -site generated materials were noted within the permit boundary. Either remove the materials or
amend the current permit modification that allows the stockpiling and disposal. Include a permit
approved from the Division of Waste Management allowing for off -site generated materials within the
permit boundary.
Pg.8-C-5a Change 25' disturbed to 25' unexcavated buffers
If you have any questions please contact me.

NC Division of Soil and Water Conservation has reviewed the Louland LLC/Louland Pit in
Beaufort County application for a modification mining permit. The Conservation Reserve
Enhancement Program (CREP) database does not reflect said property being enrolled in a
conservation easement. Therefore NC CREP has no programmatic concerns with moving
forward with this permit modification request.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter 74,
Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
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.
While we note that this project review is only for a state permit, the potential for federal permits may require
further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. if you have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579.

*The NPDES SW and WW permit NCG020000 covers closed -loop recycle systems, desioned to exclude all stormwater run-off from
the system and operate at or below two -feet of freeboard. These _systems maybe permitted by a Nan -discharge Recycle System_
Permit from the Aquifer Protection Section (APS). OR may instead be permitted under NCG020000.to eliminate an additional permit.
Recvcle systems that do not meet those criteria are considered dischaminq systems, and are sweet fa_the..NCG020000 discharae
permit.
**To obtain 7Q 10 flows, permittees must contact the DWQ Stormwater Permitting Unit. if DWQ does not have a flow estimate fora
specific stream, permittees will be asked to obtain one. Permittees should contact J. Curtis Weaver at the USGS: 919-571-4043, for
more information on obtaining a 7Q10 flow. USGS will not determine a 7Q10 flow for tidally influenced water bodies.

The approved plan provides:
Minimum Standards As Provided By G.S. 74-53
The final slopes in all excavations in soil, sand, gravel and other unconsolidated
materials shall be at such an angle as to minimize the possibility of slides and be
consistent with the future use of the land.
2. Provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property must be provided in all
excavations in rock.
3. All overburden and spoil shall be left in a configuration which is in accordance with
accepted conservation practic�:s and which is suitable for the proposed subsequent use
of the land.
4. . No small pools of water shall be allowed to collect or remain on the mined area that are,
or are likely to become noxious, odious or foul.
5. The revegetation plan shall conform to accepted and recommended agronomic and
reforestation practices as established by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station and the North Carolina Forest Service,
6. Permittee shall conduct reclamation activities pursuant to the Reclamation Plan herein
incorporated. These activities shall be conducted according to the time schedule
included in the plan, which shall to the extent feasible provide reclamation simultaneous
with mining operations and in any event, provide reclamation at the earliest practicable
time after completion or termination of mining on any segment of the permit area and
shall be completed within two years after completion or termination of mining.
RECLAMATION CONDITIONS:
1. Provided further, and subject to the Reclamation schedule, the planned reclamation
shall be to restore the mine excavation to a lake area and to grade and revegetate the
adjacent disturbed areas.
2. The specifications for surface gradient restoration to a surface suitable for the planned
future use are as follows:
A. The lake area shall be excavated to maintain a minimum water depth of four feet
measured from the low water table elevation.

vertical or flatter to the water line and 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter below the
water line.
C. Any areas used for wastepiles, screening, stockpiling or other processing shall
be leveled and smoothed.
D. No contaminants shall be permanently disposed of at the mine site. On -site
disposal of waste shall be in accordance with Operating Condition Nos. 10A
through D.
E. The affected land shall be graded to prevent the collection of noxious or foul
water.
3. Revegetation Plan:

Judy,
visited the site on Friday. In response to the letter 1 have the following:
1- A farm tractor mounted pump was on site but not operating at the time of the inspection. It would be safe to
say at least pumping from pit to pit is occurring. The operator has constructed a dike across the pit and
discharge hose was lying in Pit A and connected to the discharge side of the pump.
2- Grading of the mine site, especially along the northern section, where overburden materials are stockpiled have
small drainage ditches cut to drain the stockpile area into the adjoining ditch. The ditch is not shown on the map
and is not included with the modification.
3- On the south side of the proposed modification off -site generated materials (old wooden Piers) have been
stacked in a pile and other woody debris was dumped near the pit on the eastern area of the permitted area.
I will provide the inspection report and photos tomorrow. I'm going into the field with Kat today so I will not be able to
complete the report and upload the photos.
Call if you have any questions,

Judy,
Inspection report and photos have been uploaded into I -Beam.
had planned to upload that stuff on Monday but I was snowed in at home.
When I drafted the NOV for Louland I thought I had the latest version. I did not know of the new version until I
looked for all of the enforcement shells. I had already turned in the draft to Pat. I'm not sure of the difference
between the latest 2010 version and the version I used for Louland. But hey I'm flexible.
Let me know if you need more photos or information for the NOV.

Re: Louland Pit
Beaufort County
Tar River Basin
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
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. 07-53 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 January 25, 2017. 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.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage and affected acreage for this site are both 15.77
acres, as indicated on the mine map last revised August 29, 2006.
Please review the permit and contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining
Specialist, at [phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.
Sincerely,

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

changes, bond substitutions and permit renewals where the mine is inactive and fully stabilized. A minor permit modification also includes lands added to a
permitted area, outside of the minimum permit buffer zone requirements, where no plans for mining related disturbance of the added lands have been approved. All
other changes are considered major modifications.
Acres for new permits and renewal permits means the total acreage at the site. Acres for major modification of permits means that area of land affected by the
modification within the permitted mine area, or any additional land that is to be disturbed and added to an existing permitted area, or both.

Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr,, Secretary
Your application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been
reviewed but not yet approved. 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. Other necessary conditions may have been added to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted
in the application (see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is $25,300.00. The
bond is required before the permit can be issued. 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., Louland, L.L.C. In addition to one of these alternatives you may,
upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and the reclamation bond worksheet, and
contact this office should you have any objections or questions concerning the permit
conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a
notice of the required bond 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 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.

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.

We have reviewed the application your company submitted for the referenced mine site.
However, the following information is needed to continue processing your application:
'Clearly identify the permit boundary on the mine map. The permit boundary must
include all affected areas and buffers.
VE Provide erosion and sediment control measures for the site, especially where the
erosion is occurring in the ditchline.
Remove the off -site generated materials from the proposed mine area or provide proof
that you have obtained the necessary approvals from the Division of Waste
Management to dispose of the material on the site. Revise the mine map to show the
disposal area and provide acreage for the waste area so the bond calculation worksheet
includes the waste area.
4' The address for Louland LLC in the mining permit application does not correspond with
the address on file with the Secretary of State: Please explain this discrepancy.
5. Provide proof sue i s- oc pies-of=t; a return receipts from certified mail, that the adjoining

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter 74,
Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is unlikely that any
archaeological sites, which may be eligible for listing 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.
While we note that this project review is only for a state permit, the potential for federal permits may requite
further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-733-4763 ext.246.

Re: Louland LLC
Mine Name: Louland Pit
Permit # 07-53 - Beaufort County
Drainage Basin: Tar -Pam
Project Description:
The proposed mining permit is located North of and off SR 1700 approximately 1.50
miles east of the Town of Pantego and approximately 0.30 miles east of the intersection
of the intersection of SR 1702 and SR 1700. The dirt haul road is approximately 2000
feet long leading to the pit from SR 1700 near a private airfield in Beaufort County. The
mine is preexisting in an agricultural area. A Notice of Violation was issued for mining
with out a permit.
Field Issues Application:
1- Page 6, Part C-1, 2 States that erosion and sediment control measures are in place
That is a incorrect statement. They are not installed. Soil stockpiles are blocking
the access/haul road and are eroding into the adjoining ditch located on the tract.
2- Page 11 .13-1, 4 How will the runoff be prevented from entering the water
impoundment? No details or description on how sediment will be controlled and
erosion will be restrained.
Field Issues Map:
1- The map shows the 25 foot buffer to be located outside the proposed permit
boundary. Revise the proposed boundary to include the buffer to be within the
permit boundary.
2- Off site generated materials are being stored on this proposed permit. Properly
remove the off site generated materials or obtain a permit from Division of Waste
Management allowing- materials to be placed within the permit area.

SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Louland LLC, Beaufort County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed this
permit application with regard to impacts of the mine on fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are
provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.0 661-667d), 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 to mine sand from a 15.77-acre tract off SR 1700 near Pantego, NC.
The site is adjacent a canal that flogs into Cuckolds Creels.
NCWRC is pleased that the applicant plans to reclaim the mine as a lake stocked with fish.
Information regarding establishment and management of fish ponds can be accessed at
littl2-.//xN,iN,-NN,.ncwildlife.org/pizO3 Fishin ima es/PONDMAN5.PDF. To benefit wildlife. the Commission
recommends }rear -round planting of kobe or Korean lespedeza, winter -time planting of rye or wheat, and
summer -time planting of millet or sorghum. These plants provide erosion control and forage and cover for a
varieh, of wildlife until native grasses can become established. Seed typcs including bahia and Bermuda
grasses provide limited benefits to wildlife and may be highly invasive and inhibit eventual establishment of
native grasses. To provide adequate shallow water for aquatic vegetation growth, the pit slope of 3 to I
should extend to a water depth of at least 4 feet. Further technical assistance regarding managing fish and
wildlife on private lands can be found at http:/Ay w.newildlife,org or solicited directly from Commission
Biologist Robert Norville at [phone].
We appreciate the opportunity to review this permit application. If you need further information on
these comments, please contact me at [phone].
