P 0 Box 806 Ahoskie, NC 27910 RE: Mining Permit No. 08-15 Hoggard Pit Bertie County Dear Jeffrey C. Rose: 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 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.

Rose Brothers Paving Company, Inc. needs to dewater Pond #1 so we can get more sand out of the bottom. Pump #1 - Our plan is to install a 12" pump (See location on picture) to pump Pond #1 down as quickly as possible. (We think three days). Water will be pumped into Pond #2 (See picture) which will act as a distilling basin. Water from Pond 42 will flow into Pond #3 (See picture). Pond #3 will act as a distilling basin. If Pond #3 gets to full, the overflow will drain out discharge point. (See picture). Discharge point will have a rock check dam installed at point where water leaves mine property and every 100' for the first 300 L.F. (See typical drawing). Once the water is pumped down, the pump will only pump a few hours per day to keep pond dry. We plan to remove all the sand we need in about 30 days. At that time all pumping and excavation will stop. This should be all the water discharge we need for two to three years. Note: all water discharged will be clean storm water. There is no maintenance, crushing, or screening active at this mine. We dig sand out of ground, stockpile it and haul it to our asphalt plants as needed. The discharge point is a ditch which flows between two fields. Both have been cultivated in the last few years. The water will flow approximately four miles before entering the Roanoke River. Pump #2 — Pump #2 (See location on picture) is a 4" pump that will pump water from Pond #2 also. It will be used to keep wetlands to the South of Pond #1 hydrated so the area does not dry out. A check dam diffuser will be installed at the end of the discharge hose. Both discharge lines will be inspected weekly or after a substantial rainfall for any damage or repairs needed. The next time we need to pump, we may pump Pond #2 into Pond #1 and then into Pond #3 with the same discharge point.

Rose Brothers Paving Company, Inc. needs to dewater Pond 41 so we can get more sand ont of the bottom. I'u_mp #1 - Our plan is to install a 12" pump (See location on picture) to pump Pond #1 down as quickly as possible. (We think three days). Water will be pumped into Pond #2 (See picture) which will act as a distilling basin. Water from Pond #2 will flow into Pond #3 (Sec picture). Pond #3 will act as a distilling basin. 1f Pond #3 gets to full, the overflow will drain out discharge point. (See picture). Discharge point will have a rock check dam installed at point where water leaves wine property and every 100' for the first 300 L.F. (See typical drawing). Once the water is pumped down, the pump will only pump a few hours per day to keep pond dry. We plan to remove all the sand we need in about 30 days. At that time all pumping and excavation will stop. This should be all the water discharge we need for two to three years. Note: all water discharged will be clean storm water. There is no maintenance, crushing, or screening active at this mine. We dig sand out of ground, stockpile it and haul it to our asphalt plants as needed. The discharge point is a ditch which flows between two fields. Both have been cultivated in the last few years. The water will flow approximately four miles before entering the Roanoke River. Pump #2 — Pump #2 (See location on picture) is a 4" pump that will pump water from Pond #2 also. It will be used to keep wetlands to the South of Pond #1. hydrated so the area does not dry out. A check dam diffuser will be installed at the end of the discharge hose. Both discharge lines will be inspected weekly or after a substantial rainfall for any damage or repairs needed. The next time we need to pump, we may pump Pond #2 into Pond #1 and then into Pond #3 with the same discharge point. 1, - 'All. -,II h".11 h1011 I I S `\ J:j I I . j J.i , 11 0,: U I Il 1�-Cdt,Vdi- KWI min Ii I v� o UI. c on '.Wchim A -,-A J.'I Yj:,J )0AI Ili ))V-;: ',iHC LINES .iNfi DWEN51016 SHOWN IN ME PLAN ON A FILIT-1, FANkIC Q'i-11ijriJ Af LEASI 9 INCHES HELOW NAIUMAL GNOOND 11.0.'i WIPAI'l MI: CiIANNEL WUVK''- J.!'

Nose brothers Paving Company, Inc. needs to dewater Pond 41 so we can get more sand out of the bottom. Pump #1 - Our plan is to install a 12" pump (See location on picture) to pump Pond #1 down as quickly as possible. (We think three days). Water will be pumped into Pond #2 (See picture) which will act as a► distilling basin. Water from Pond #2 will flow into Pond #3 (See picture). Pond #3 will act as a distilling basin. if Pond #3 gets to full, the overflow will drain out discharge point. (See picture). Discharge point will have a rock check dam installed at point where water leaves mine property and every 100' for the first 300 L.F. (See typical drawing). Once the water is pumped down, the pump will only pump a few hours per day to keep pond dry. We plan to remove all the sand we need in about 30 days. At that time all pumping and excavation will sty►p. This should be all the water discharge we need for two to three years. Note. all water discharged will be clean storm water. There is no maintenance, crushing, or screening active at this mine. We dig sand out of ground, stockpile it and haul it to our asphalt plants as needed. The discharge point is a ditch which flows between two fields. Both have been cultivated in the last few years. The water will flow approximately four miles before entering the Roanoke River. Pump #2 — Pump 42 (See location on picture) is a 4" pump that will pump water from Pond #2 also. It will be used to keep wetlands to the South of Pond #1 hydrated so the area does not dry out. A check dam diffuser will be installed at the end of the discharge hose. Both discharge lines will be inspected weekly or after a substantial rainfall for any damage or repairs needed. The next time we need to pump, we may pump Pond #2 into Pond #1 and then into Pond #3 with the same discharge point. 0 0 R6 Pd M C11, ECT Mi V L. —..

The mine was visited on August 10, 2010. The mine is currently active. No mine dewatering was observed during the site review. The operator is currently removing a large stockpile. Map: r The map submitted for the modification does not show the undisturbed buffer correctly along the eastern perimeter (See mine map dated April 28, 2008). Please revise. A drainage feature was not observed in the area proposed to be the discharge point for the mine. More information should be provided as to how the mine will dewater without a channel or culvert. If the plan to discharge and have the water seek its own channel, then a level spreader should be considered to reduce the effects of erosion. Especially if it is uncertain how much and how fast the water will discharge from the excavation. Please call me if you have any questions.

The applicant is planning to dewater and he is aware of our permit, however the applicant didn't apply for one as of today. I gave them directions as how to apply and guided them to application and Other documents. Since the wetlands are not delineated on plans, I asked them to do so, and told them that O&M plan might be required. They said that most likely the wetlands will be closer than 400' and they will work on 0&M plan. After discussion with Pat McLain (Supervisor of DLR here in Washington), we agreed that I put comment on review sheet for DLR to hold the issuance of this permit (in this case Modification) until at least the wetlands are delineated so we can make a call if O&M plan will be required or not, and then we will advise DLR if they can issue Modification permit or not.

The Haggard Pit (modification) located in Bertie County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground water supplies. The mine will need to register their water withdrawals since their withdrawals are over 100,000 gpd. The registration form may be obtained off of the www.ncwater.or;e website. Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue requires any non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface water to register and update withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of surface water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers. Water withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by April I for the previous year.

REQUEST FOR DEWATER PERMIT To dewater Hoggard Sand Pit #08-15 (See attached picture of existing pit). Rose Brothers Paving Company, Inc. needs to dewater Pond #1 so we can get more sand out of the bottom. Our plan is to install a 12" pump (See location on picture) to pump Pond #1 down as quickly as possible. (We think three days). Water will be pumped into Pond #2 (See picture) which will act as a distilling basin. Water from Pond #2 will flow into Pond #3 (See picture). Pond #3 will act as a distilling basin. If Pond #3 gets to full, the overflow will drain out discharge point. (See picture). Discharge point will have a rock check dam installed at point where water leaves mine property and every 100' for the first 300 L.F. (See typical drawing). Once the water is pumped down, the pump will only pump a few hours per day to keep pond dry. We plan to remove all the sand we need in about 30 days. At that time all pumping and excavation will stop. This should be all the water discharge we need for two to three years. Note: all water discharged will be clean storm water. There is no maintenance, crushing, or screening active at this mine. We dig sand out of ground, stockpile it and haul it to our asphalt plants as needed. The discharge point is a ditch which flows between two fields. Both have been cultivated in the last few years. The water will flow approximately four miles before entering the Roanoke River. The next time we need to pump, we may pump Pond #2 into Pond #1 and then into Pond #3 with the same discharge point. hA. a f � l ROCArMFUUMN NOT TO SCALE L = The distance such that points A and B are of equal elevation 'Yy 1, ,l,I.i•E II��Efll �:i�Y,•�ii Y\�.� '�•I,l1ti111f tl1,l��El ll,y 1 W Class 1 or B Erasion Control Stone 24" max at centQ� Fabric Xf Section A —A CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS: 1.
