RE: Tom Keith Mine
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Keith:
Affl?aWA
�EHNR
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 reclamation bond
to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 9--06 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 August 23, 2003. G.S. 74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supersede local zoning .
regulations. The responsibility of compliance with any applicable
zoning regulations lies with you.
As a reminder, the permitted acreage for this site is 6.2 acres,
while you are approved to affect 4.9 acres.
Please review the permit and notify this office at [phone]
of any objection or question concerning the terms of the permit.
Sinc ely,

In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is
hereby approved by the Department of Environment, Health 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

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.

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
August 23, 2003.

cc: Regional Engineer

Y__ , _ i. 11_Y
You have previously expressed an interest and/or are listed as an
adjoining land owner in the application for a mining permit filed by
Tom Keith & Associates, Inc. to conduct mining activities at the Tom
Keith Mine located approximately 3 miles west of white Lake near US
701 in Bladen County. The mining permit was issued on August 23,
1993.
A recent North Carolina Court of Appeals decision has held that a
person aggrieved by the issuance of a mining permit has the right to
initiate a contested case hearing in the Office of Administrative
Hearings pursuant to N.C.G.S. 15OB-23 of the Administrative Procedure
Act (APA). Please be advised however, that this Department disagrees
with that ruling and has recently filed documents in the Office of
Administrative Hearings to limit permit issuance challenges to a
hearing on the record in Superior Court pursuant to N.C.G.S. 150B-43.
A ruling on the Department's request is still pending.
Despite our position on this issue, North Carolina law requires
us to inform you of your right to contest the issuance of the permit.
Unless the Court of Appeals' decision is changed, you still have the
right to seek a contested case hearing pursuant to N.C.G.S. 150-23 of
the APA. To preserve your right to a hearing, you must file a
petition for a contested case in the Office of Administrative Hearings
within sixty (60) days of the mailing of this notice to you.
The address for filing the petition is The Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, N. C. 27611-
7447. Their telephone number is [phone].
This notice was mailed on August 25, 1993.

We have completed our review of the above referenced information. The
information provided addresses what was requested in our letter of May 6,
1993, however, check dams are not the appropriate measure. Temporary sediment
traps are actually what is needed as these measures provide for temporary
sediment storage. Also, four of these traps should be installed, one on each
side of the stream, at the inlet and outlet ends of the pipe and at each pipe
crossing. Weir dimensions, construction details and design dimensions of the
sediment storage areas should be provided. Also, a schedule of periodic
maintenance should be provided.
I am enclosing one (1) copy of the map as we had already received a copy.
If there are questions or if further field review is needed, please contact

The review has been completed on your application for a mining permit
for the Tom Keith Mine in Bladen County. The following additional
information is needed to complete our review. The sediment and erosion
control measures for the access road are not adequate. At the stream
crossings, silt fence cannot be located in the stream bed. Silt ,fence may be
placed along the toe of the fill where the culverts are to be installed and
rock check dams may be constructed in the access road ditchline 'discharge
points. Please submit another sediment and erosion control plan for the
access road. A construction detail of a rock check dam along with the
location of the dams will be necessary if you choose this method.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT OUR REVIEW CANNOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL ALL OF THE
ITEMS LISTED ABOVE HAVE BEEN FULLY ADDRESSED.
In order to complete the processing of your application, please forward

Soil Conservation Service Rev. March 1990
TREATMENT ON CRITICAL EROSION AREAS
WITH PERMANENT GROUND COVER
A critical erosion area is any eroding, sediment -producing area such as
excessively eroding cropland, cuts, fills, streambanks, landfills, roadbanks,
dams, spillways, borrow areas, and denuded or gullied areas where vegetative
stabilization is difficult by ordinary methods. Stabilizing these areas will
reduce damage from sediment and runoff to downstream areas, and improve
wildlife habitat and visual resources.
Annual soil erosion in excess of 18
to 20 tons per acre on cropland is
critical erosion for'most North.
Carolina soils.
SOILS
Cut and fill slopes are usually
difficult areas to stabilize and
quickly develop erosion problems
when left untreated.
Usually the soil material on which seeding or planting is to be done is
infertile, poor in structure and aggregation, low in organic matter and may be
highly acid. This material is highly susceptible to erosion due to slow water
intake and rapid runoff. To aid in overcoming these conditions, organic matter
can be applied in the form of manure, lime applied where needed, and
appropriate commercial fertilizers added. On most sites, four inches of loamy
topsoil applied to the site before seeding enhances establishment of ground
cover and minimizes maintenance.
SITE PREPARATION
Where equipment will travel over the site during plant-d.ng and/or for mainte-
nance after establishment, .slopes should be no steeper than 3:1. . Where
practical, fill and shape gullied areas. Install necessary water control
measures such as diversions, waterways or outlets, subsurface (tile) drainage
and terraces. Remove all debris, such as stones, tree stumps, etc., that may
interfere with seeding and maintenance operations.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
Scarify surface to a depth of at least four inches with a disk or other
suitable method. In some situations, such as drainage ditch banks, spoil banks,
etc., scarification can be excluded if lime, fertilizer, and seed are applied
to the roughened surface within one or two days after earth moving.

le LIME AND FERTILIZER
The amount, timing, and method of application of lime and fertilizer materials
are very site specific. These are to be determined by the person providing
assistance from the SCS office, in accordance with guidance in 342-II (May
1988) of the Field Office Technical Guide.
PLANT SELECTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
Select plants which are best suited. In making the selection, keep in mind the
plants' characteristics, climatic adaptation, the intended use, and level of
maintenance required. Suggested time of seeding, rates of seed and mixtures
for specific uses should be obtained from the soil conservationist. Whenever
available, certified seed tested within six months before seeding should be
used. Legumes should be scarified, if necessary, and inoculated with the
proper strain of nitrogen -fixing bacteria before seeding.
When grass is established by using stolons (sprigs or runners), use precaution
to make certain only fresh, moist planting material is used.
SEEDING OR PLANTING
Uniformly apply seed with a drill,
cultipacker seeder or hydroseeder. Seed
may also be broadcast by using a
whirlwind or cyclone seeder or by hand.
Cover the seed 1/4 to 1 inch deep,
depending on the size of the seed, and
firm the soil except where a cultipacker
or hydroseeder is used.
MULCHING
Mulching is a very important step in
establishing vegetation on critical
areas. Mulch will help hold moisture,
protect soil from erosion, hold seed in
place, and keep soil temperatures more
constant. It should be applied
uniformly by mechanical means or by hand. Some bare soil should still be
visible through the mulch. Hay or straw or other fibrous mulches are best for
mulching newly seeded areas. Most mulch materials are subject to blowing and
must be tied down by anchoring or pressing into 'the soil. Netting, asphalt
spray, peg and twine, or other methods may be used.
MAINTENANCE
Lime and fertilizer should be applied under a regular program based on soil
fertility test and the use and general appearance of the vegetative cover. In
the absence of a soil test, the following are suggested lime and fertilizer
rates: One to two tons of limestone per acre every three to five years, and at
least 40 pounds each of nitrogen, phosphorus, and 'potassium (400 lbs. of
10-10-10 or equivalent) per acre annually. Nitrogen may be reduced one-half or
more if legumes are established alone or with grasses.
Care should be taken not to damage the vegetation mechanically through use of
improper mowing equipment or by too frequent and/or close mowing.

Re: Mine Permit Application
Tom Keith & Associates Mine
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Keith:
The initial review has been completed on your application for the above
mentioned mining permit.' The following additional information is needed to
complete -our review:
It is necessary to clarify the permitted and affected acreage for
the proposed mine site. The application indicates an access road
is to be constructed but B2 on page 2 of the application does not
show the acreage for any access road. Please resubmit the enclosed
Page 2 of the application and clearly indicate the roads,
stockpiles and mine excavation acreage. It may be necessary to
increase the.processing fee. The permitted acreage must include
the undisturbed buffer zone areas. Undisturbed acreage, such as
undisturbed buffer zones, will not affect the bond amount.
~� There is also some confusion as to -the undisturbed buffer zone.
Portions of the application state a twenty foot buffer while other
portions refer to a twenty-five foot buffer zone. The North
Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission has commented on this
application. (Please find a copy of the comments and address all 'of
them, including the information regarding the haul road
construction that follows in #3.) -It. will be required that a 50
foot undisturbed buffer be maintained on the along the normal flood
elevation of Turn Bull Creek. Turn Bull Creek, the associated
flood plain and the undisturbed buffer zone must be shown on the
mine map. Buffers cannot be used for sloping.

3. Access road culverts are proposed to be installed. The mine map
needs to indicate the sizes of the culverts and outlet protection
for the culverts. Supporting engineering data for the culverts and
said protection must be provided. During installation of these
culverts, what sediment and erosion control -measures will be used
to halt the sedimentation damage to the drainage way? Please -
address this as the crossings will require measures be taken.
4. All sediment and erosion control devices including basins must be
shown on the map. Construction details and supporting design data
for all the"proposed sediment and erosion control devices must be
submitted for our review including those for the access road
construction. Basins must be designed for 1800 cubic feet of
sediment storage per disturbed acre of drainage.
5. The proposed postmining land use is Forestry but the Revegetation
Plan does not indicate any trees will be planted. Please indicate
the planting rate for the loblolly pines. The Revegetation Plan
must also include year around seeding mixtures.
Adjoining land owners of the access road, Fredrick R. Keith and
Mary Keith Perry, must be notified of the application. Please
complete the attached Affidavit of Notification and Notice forms
(copies attached) and resubmit them with the certified mail
receipts verifying that all adjoining landowners have been
notified. .

DATE: February 7, 1993
SUBJECT: Review of Mining Permit Application Request for Tom J.
Keith & Associates; Keith Mine, Bladen County
(93.01.08.01)
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
completed its review of the subject application for the purpose
of assessing construction impacts on wildlife, fisheries, and
wetland resources. An on -site review was conducted on January
29, 1993. Our comments are provided in accordance with certain
provisions of the N.C. Mining Act of 1971 (G.S. 74-46 through
G.S. 74-68, 15 NCAC; as amended, 1982).
The applicant proposes to mine sand and clay on
approximately 4.99 acres of land in Bladen County. After a
careful review of the application and the site, we find that
several issues concerning this project need to be addressed prior
to our approval of this mining permit. They are:
1. The proposed project is located adjacent to
Turnbull Creek, a small tributary of the Cape
Fear River. The area consists predominantly of
hardwood forest on the higher slopes and mixed
bottomland/conifer wetlands along the creek
proper. Depending on rainfall, these
bottomlands are subject to extensive periodic
flooding. Past mining activity'has been
conducted to the extreme edge of these
periodically flooded wetlands. A forested,
permanantly undisturbed buffer of at least 50
feet needs to be established or maintained
between any previous or future mining activity
and normal flood levels of Turnbull Creek a well

as along the perimeter of the entire mine. This
should be an integral part of the Reclamation
Plan.
2. The haul road leading into the site crosses a
small watershed leading into Turnbull Creek.
Presently, no adequate erosion control measures
exist to prevent runoff into Turnbull Creek.
The applicant proposes to install culverts to
prevent sediment from entering the stream. It
is NCWRC policy to oppose proposals directly or
indirectly resulting in further degradation of
wetlands or aquatic resources. Therefore,
adequate sedimentation and erosion control
measures need to be installed prior to our
approval of this permit application.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
mining application. If you have questions or need to discuss
these comments further, please contact Mr. Tom Padgett, District
4 Wildlife Biologist at [phone].

we have completed our review of the above referenced application. Listed
below are our comments:
1. The exact acreage to be permitted is unclear. It appears that
the proposal is to permit 4.99 acres of pit area and does not
include the proposed 20-foot buffer zone. (See note on mine
map.)
2. As indicated on the mine map, the buffer zone should be
undisturbed and not used for pit sloping.
3. Turn Bull Creek is along the eastern portion of the tract. It
is not shown on the mine map. The creek should be shown on the
map, and a 50-foot buffer zone maintained along the creek.
4. Details of the temporary erosion control measures and the creek
crossings should be provided. Off -site sedimentation to the
"wet weather stream" is currently a problem.
5. It is not indicated that Mary Keith Perry has been notified as
an adjoining landowner. Also, should the property owner
surrounding the Tom Keith tract be notified?
6. Your comment regarding previous contacts on this site is
unclear. Please call me, and we can discuss further.
7. Permit boundaries should be marked in the field.

LIME. AND FERTILIZER
The amount, timing, and method of application of lime and fertilizer materials
are very site specific. These are to be determined by the person providing
assistance from the SCS office, in accordance with guidance in 342-II (May
1988) of the field Office Technical_ Guide.
PLANT SELECTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
Select plants which are best suited. In making the selection, keep in mind the
plants' characteristics, climatic adaptation, the intended use, and level of
maintenance required. Suggested time of seeding, rates of seed and mixtures
for specific uses should be obtained from the soil conservationist. Whenever
available, certified seed tested within six months before seeding should be
used. Legumes should be scarified, if necessary, and inoculated with the
proper strain of nitrogen -fixing bacteria before seeding.
When grass is established by using stolons (sprigs or runners), use precaution
to make certain only fresh, moist planting material is used.
SEEDING OR PLANTING
Uniformly apply seed with a drill,
cultipacker seeder or hydroseeder. Seed
may also be broadcast by using a
whirlwind or cyclone seeder or by hand.
Cover the seed 1/4 to 1 inch deep,
depending on the size of the seed, and
firm the soil except where a cultipacker
or hydroseeder is used.
MULCHING
Mulching is a very important step in
establishing vegetation on critical
areas. Mulch will help hold moisture,
protect soil from erosion, hold seed in
place, and keep soil temperatures more
constant. It should be applied
uniformly by mechanical means or by hand. Some
visible through the mulch. Hay or straw or other
mulching newly seeded areas. Most mulch materials
must be tied down by anchoring or pressing into
spray, peg and twine, or other methods may be used.
MAINTENANCE.
bare soil should still be
fibrous mulches are best for
are subject to blowing and
the soil. Netting, asphalt
Lime and fertilizer should be applied under a regular program based on soil
fertility test and the use and general appearance of the vegetative cover. In
the absence of a soil test, the following are suggested lime and fertilizer
rates; One to two tons of limestone per acre every three to five years, and at
least 40 pounds each of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (400 lbs. of
10-10-10 or equivalent) per acre annually. Nitrogen may be reduced one-half or
more if legumes are established alone or with grasses.
Care should be taken not to damage the vegetation mechanically through use of
improper mowing equipment .or by too frequent and/or close mowing. .

Soil Conservation Service Rev. March 1990
TREATMENT ON CRITICAL EROSION AREAS
WITH PERMANENT GROUND COVER
A critical erosion area is any eroding, sediment -producing area such as
excessively eroding cropland, cuts, fills, streambanks, landfills, roadbanks,
dams, spillways, borrow areas, and denuded or gullied areas where vegetative
stabilization is difficult by ordinary methods. Stabilizing these areas will
reduce damage from sediment and runoff to downstream areas, and improve
wildlife habitat and visual resources.
Annual soil erosion in excess of 18
to 20 tons per acre on cropland is
critical erosion for'most North
Carolina soils.
SOILS
Cut and fill slopes are usually
difficult areas to stabilize and
quickly develop erosion problems
when left untreated.
Usually the soil material on which seeding or planting is to be done is
infertile, poor in structure and aggregation, low in organic matter and may be
highly acid. This material is highly susceptible to erosion due to slow water
intake and rapid runoff. To aid in overcoming these conditions, organic matter
can be applied in the form of manure, lime applied where needed, and
appropriate commercial fertilizers added. On most sites, four inches of loamy
topsoil applied to the site before seeding enhances establishment of ground
cover and minimizes maintenance.
SITE PREPARATION
Where equipment will travel over the site during planting and/or for mainte-
nance after establishment, slopes should be no steeper than 3:1. Where
practical, fill and shape gull.ied areas. Install necessary water control
measures such as diversions, waterways or outlets, subsurface (tile) drainage
and terraces. Remove all debris, such as stones, tree stumps, etc., that may
interfere with seeding and maintenance operations.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
Scarify surface to a depth of at least four .inches with a disk or other
suitable method. In some situations, such as drainage ditch banks, spoil banks,
etc., scarification can be excluded if lime, fertilizer, and seed are applied
to the roughened surface within one or two days after earth moving.
