Hello Adam,
There is a lot of work going on at the potential mining site with heavy equipment. Is that
allowed? If not, what can we do? I have attached a photo below of some of the mud and
debris in the road. I have had to call the owner twice to come and clean the dirt out of the road.
I appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Regards,
Mark Parsons

Thanks Adam,
While I realize the state is mine friendly. Please also consider this is a very diverse,
economically disadvantaged community with a significant portion of our community being
African American. The optics of an approval could be viewed as targeting an area that's
already down on their luck, so what does it matter. Also, we have a landfill 2 miles away
that has been open for 25 years. The landfill alone is enough for the local residents to deal
with. We have adopted the local roads in an effort to reduce trash spilled out from trucks and
cars. This attempt for a mine could be deemed as inconsiderate at this point in time. I think
the landfill is enough for the community to deal with. While I realize the state may not
consider these issues, just wanted to make you aware. Thanks Mark

Mark,
A thorough review of the application includes routing the application to other State
agencies as stated in G.S. §74-50 (b3), so that they may provide comments as necessary.
The Department has a 60-day review clock to review the application and any comments
provided. Should the Department request additional information from the applicant, the
applicant would have 180 days to respond to the letter requesting additional information.
The Department's 60-day clock would start over upon the Department's receipt of all of
the requested information. Such a process would continue until all of the Department's
questions have been answered and a decision is made on the application.
I have copied Jenna Spencer, another member of the Mining Program, who will be
reviewing this applicant as well as the comments provided by the other State agencies.
Any questions related directly to the details in the application can be directed to her.

Thanks,

Mark,
Thanks for the time on the phone today. As we discussed I do not currently have an
application in for a mining permit in Caldwell County. I will keep my eyes open and
try to remember to let you know if I see one.
I will also reach our to the Regional Office, where our field inspectors are located to
see if they've heard anything.
Thanks,

Hello Adam,
How can I find out if Hoods Creek Soil Company has filed a request / application to
mine near my property? This would be very recent, most likely in the last week.
This is located in Caldwell County, Lenoir, NC 28645. Mining would occur on
Hoods Creek Road.
Regards,
Mark Parsons
