Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit modification request for the above
referenced project
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this operation having unduly
adverse effects on the purposes of a publicly owned park, forest, or recreation area (GS 74-51(5). Please
respond by July 30, 2021 so that we may complete our review of this request within our statutory time
limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications, renewals and modifications, this office
will carefully review all proposed erosion and sediment control measures to ensure that they are sufficient
to restrain erosion and off -site sedimentation. However, any comments your agency can provide regarding
effects on publicly owned parks, forests or recreation areas would be greatly appreciated. If your staff
wishes to perform a site inspection, it is recommended that they contact the person submitting this
request to set up a convenient date and time. Also, please send a copy of your comments to the person
noted in the application.
Your continued cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please contact Mr. Adam Parr at [phone]
if you have any questions.
