RE: Mining Permit No. 08-20

Dear Allen Barnhill:
ROY COOPER

MICHAEL S. REGAN

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 [phone].

MINING PERMIT EXPIRATION DATE_ January 5, 2026

Page 2
In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environmental Quality, 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.

Comments on the Mining Permit Application Request for:
Barnhill Contracting Company
Sessoms Pit
Bertie County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit request for the above referenced project.
The Sessoms Pit located in Bertie County does appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since 936,000 gallons per day of dewatering is proposed onsite. The mine will need to
register water withdrawals with the Division of Water Resources on an annual basis since the water
withdrawals are over 100,000 gallons per day. The registration form may be obtained from the

Re: Sessoms Pit Renewal
Permit #08-20
I am respectfully submitting an application for the renewal
of the Sessoms Pit, permit #08-20, in Bertie County, NC. The
renewal is based on the existing permit as we do not foresee any
changes in the operation of the pit. There will be no addition
of land under the permit which would require a modification.
Also, Barnhill Contracting Company's operation will not invoke
any of the seven (7) denial criteria listed under G.S. 74-51 of
the Act. We are requesting the renewal for a period of 10 years
and we have a blanket bond that will cover the reclamation bond
for this renewal.
Please find enclosed one (1) original and five (5) copies
of the Mining Permit Application and updated Mine Maps. Also
enclosed is a check for the renewal fee. Should you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours Very Truly,
Barnhill Contracting Company

Dear Mr. Brown:
We have reviewed the application your company submitted for the referenced mine site.
However, the following information is needed to continue processing your application:
Provide a decent construction detail of the outlet sections of the basins. The details
on the mine map appear to be check dam details and are not legible.
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: Mining Permit Application for Barnhill Contracting, Sessoms Pit, Bettie County,
ER 05-2237
Thank you for your memorandum of September 19, 2005. We have reviewed the information connected
with the project referenced above and offer the following comments.
The fill from this mine is to be used in connection with the US 17 Windsor Bypass project (NCDOT). Dr.
Trawick Ward, an archaeologist under contract with the firm HDR, is scheduled to conduct an archaeological
survey of the area containing the proposed mine in the very near future. The results of Dr. Ward's work will
be submitted to our office for review and comment. At that time recommendations will be made regarding
further work within the area, if warranted. As a result, we will await the receipt of the archaeological survey
report related to this project to comment on the impact of the proposed undertaking on cultural resources.
We have determined that the project as proposed will not have an effect on any historic resources.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-733-4763. In all future
communication concerning this project, please cite the above -referenced tracking number.

LAND QUALITY SECTION
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application for the above referenced
project. The Sessoms Pit located in Bertie County, will likely effect ground water supply
wells screened in the surficial aquifer. The possibility exist that adjacent private supply wells
may be adversely impacted from the dewatering of the surficial aquifer at Sessoms Pit. The
Division Of Water Resources recommends that an inventory of supply wells on adjacent
properties be made with regard to well location, well depths and static water level. This will not
be necessary if adjacent residences are currently being served by city or county water lines.
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, 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 (919)
