They are grading a driveway and disturbing a lot of land. I am just trying to keep you
informed since there is not supposed to be activity. This is what happened in 2018!
They did what they wanted and the state did nothing to stop the activity. They are
trying to do all they can before you stop them.

Sharon,
As I mentioned in my previous email. Since there is an open application for a mining permit for which no
decision has been made there should be no activity at the site until the application is approved.
They only reason for activity would be if they were required to correct Erosion and Sediment Control
(E&SC) measures as part of a notice of violation.
At this time I am not aware of any requirement for remediation. There should be no activity.

Mr. Parr,
The grading company was still working yesterday afternoon as we went by. I did take
a video. My husband called this morning to tell me they were already working and
had unloaded more equipment. I am on my way there in a few minutes to check
things out. Is this allowed?

Sharon,
The Mining Program does not have any information on this site prior to this application. I have asked
that the regional office check their file to see if they have record of other activity.

Sharon,
Thank you for providing additional comments on this application/property.
• A mining permit has not been issued. The application is still in review.
• Since there is an open application there should be no work happening at this location. Thank you
for bringing this to our attentions. We will be investigating this.
The link below will take you to the public repository where the application files are posted.

Mr. Parr,
I sent an email to you on June 3 expressing my objection to the establishment of a
clay borrow pit, rock quarry, etc. on Hoods Creek Road in Caldwell County. I have a

petition with 117 signatures opposing the establishment of this mine. I will be sending
you copies of this petition in the mail. On behalf of our community, a public hearing is
needed to give the citizens a voice.
I would like to know if a mining permit has already been issued for this property.
Earnhardt Grading has had equipment working on this property since the second
week in June. Fact is, they are working today. I have attached some photos with
dates to show some of what is going on. I have not been on the property to see how
much has been graded. Are they allowed to begin working on this property?
I would like a copy of any documents pertaining to this property. If it requires an
appointment to look at the files, please tell me who to contact.
I appreciate your time.
Sharon Bryant
