Dear Lee Graham Hoggard:
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 St- 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].

Dear Mr. Hoggard:
Pat McCrory, Governor
John E. Skvarla, III, Secretary
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. 08-27 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 December 23, 2023. *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 14.69
acres, as indicated in the application and on the mine map dated October 29, 2013.
Please review the permit and contact Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist,

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

Re: Lee Hoggard Sand Mine (Draft Permit)
Bertie County
Chowan River Basin
Dear Mr. Hoggard.-
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 calculation worksheet submitted with the application has been
verified. The bond amount for this site is $11,900.00. 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., Lee
Graham Hoggard. In addition to one of these alternatives you may, upon request, substitute
a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit 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 cannot be issued until 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.

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.

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,

ELLIOTT CONSULTING
October 30, 2013
To Whom It May Concern:
This Land Quality Permit application is for a new 14.69 acre sand mine to be constructed
by Lee Graham Hoggard, on property he owns at the intersection of NC 45 and Old Merry
Hill Road, Merry Hill, NC, in Bertie County. The requested permit area is located on wide,
mostly flat, sandy farmland and will not present any problems regarding runoff to adjacent
areas. The purpose of the excavation will be to serve eventually for recreational purposes by
Mr. Hoggard and as a water source for agricultural use on his farm.
The excavation area will be located geographically 300 feet from the nearest public
highway or dwelling and is accessible only by a private access road. The permit area will be
surrounded on 3 sides by existing fields and woodland, and an existing row of shrubs & trees
along NC 45 will be enhanced to provide adequate visual screening of the mining operation.
Access to the permit area is limited by private property, and private gated road access. There
will be minimum 25ft wide unexcavated buffers on all sides of the permit area.
Land elevation of the proposed excavation area ranges from 40 feet to 30 feet above sea
level in the main area, and drops to 20 feet above sea level in the southeast corner. This
portion of the proposed excavation area was previously excavated by the NCDOT in
approximately 1970 during construction of NC 45, and only the top 20 feet below natural
ground level was removed. Mr. Hoggard plans to continue excavation in this area.
A large wetland area exists 300 feet south of the permit boundary, a blue line stream exists
125 feet west of the permit area, and a small 0.1 acre wetland exists 50 feet southeast of the
permit area. No wetlands exist inside the proposed permit area.
At this time, IVx-Hoggard=does-not=plan=to-dewater_theS x avation�axea!� This plan may
change if need arises, and proper permit applications for modification will be submitted.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from the NCDENR, Mr. Hoggard plans to
excavate the mine to an average depth of 20 feet below seasonal high water level, and will
include construction of proper cut slopes on all sides of the excavated area, as required in the
permit. Reclamation of the mine area will include grading, leveling, and grassing of all affected
areas. Subject to modification, this permit application is being requested for a 10-year time
frame to completion.
All adjacent landowners have been contacted and made aware of the proposed mine
operation. The mine area will be well marked with warning and keep out signs to prevent
inadvertent public access.
A land entry agreement has been signed Mr. Hoggard, and he is here y7 requesting?
hour prioi'fi6dc of�NCDENR`site inspections-iti:order for:him .his.representad,ve-to-atten"d
the -inspection.. his is strictly to provide information to the NCDENR inspector on the

Berm Construction Details
Lee Hoggard Sand Mine
Merry Hill, NC
Bertie County
Narrow -based berm
The narrow -based berm is the most common berm having a top of 2 feet (0.6 m) and side slopes of two
horizontal: 1 vertical. This berm is the most economical to build as it requires the least material. The
steep side slopes of this type of berm eliminate the possibility of working on it with farm machinery.
Berm Construction
The berm construction comprises of the scraping back of the topsoil from the area where the berm and
storage basin is to be built. A subsoil material, free of stones, rubble, stumps etc. and with at least 10%
clay should be used to construct the berm. The material for the berm may be obtained from the area
behind or in front of the berm location or moved from a borrow pit located elsewhere on the farm. An
earth mover will be required to move material from a pit located a distance away while a bulldozer
would be used if material is located in the berm area.
The berm material is to be placed in layers and compacted as each layer is added. After the berm has a
final shape the sides of the berm should also be compacted.
Emergency Overflow
To provide for larger -than designed peak flows, an overflow system is used, namely:
• "The level -top vegetated berm crest" which provides for very flat berm top so that the water will
overflow along the berm length in a thin layer so as not to create erosion problems.
