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.
Definitions
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.
Modifications
July 10 2001: This permit has been modified to add 0.8 acres of affected land within the
permitted area for the construction of a 30 foot gravel drive paralleling the existing drive,
including the removal and reseeding of the existing drive, as indicated on Sheet 4 last revised
May 18, 2001 and Sheet C-1A dated May 17, 2001.
July 3, 2002: This permit has been modified to increase the affected area from 40 acres to
52.1 acres and to correct the permitted acreage (in light of better mapping) as indicated on the
Mining Permit Renewal Maps, Sheets C-1, C-3, C-5, C-6, and C-9 last revised May 2, 2002
and Sheets C-2, C-4, C-7, and C-8 dated March 21, 2002. The modification includes
increasing the depth of the mine to 275 feet and expanding the mine excavation area and
processing area/haul roads to reflect the current site conditions.

In the event of seismograph malfunction or other condition which prevents
monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas,
W = (D/Ds)' Ds = D
W12
V = 160(Ds)"' s
W = Maximum charge weight of explosives per delay period of 8.0 milliseconds

Ds = Scaled distance factor.
V = Peak Particle Velocity (inches per second).
The peak particle velocity of any component shall not exceed 1.0 inch per
second, for the purposes of this Section.
C. Air blast With Monitoring:
Air blast overpressure resulting from surface blasting shall not exceed 129
decibels linear (dBL) as measured at the immediate location of any regularly
occupied building not owned or leased by the operator outside of the permitted
area such as a dwelling house, church, school, or public, commercial or
institutional building, unless an alternate level based on the sensitivity of the
seismograph microphone as specified below is being used: .

In the event of seismograph malfunction or other condition which prevents
monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas:
To convert U (psi) to P (dBL):
U = 82 (D/W"')-1.2
P = 20 x log (U/2.9x10-9)
Confined Air blast/Overpressure (dBL)
for quarry situation:
U = Unconfined air overpressure (pounds per square inch).
W = Maximum charge weight of explosives per delay period of 8.0 milliseconds
or more (pounds).
D = Distance from the blast site to the nearest inhabited building not owned or
leased by the mine operator (feet).
P = Unconfined air overpressure (decibels).
A = Air blast or air overpressure for typical quarry situations (decibels).

Mulch: All seeded areas shall be mulched using small grain straw at a rate of
2000 Ibs/acre and anchored appropriately.
Whenever possible, disturbed areas should be vegetated with native warm season
grasses such as switch grass, Indian grass, bluestem and gamma grass.
In addition, the permittee shall consult with a professional wildlife biologist with the N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission to enhance post -project wildlife habitat at the site.
4. Reclamation Plan:
Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In
any event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or
termination of mining of any mine segment under permit. Prior to final reclamation, a
detailed reclamation plan clarifying how Miller Creek will be diverted into the quarry
excavation shall be submitted to and approved by the Department. Final reclamation,
including revegetation, shall be completed within two years of completion or termination
of mining.
This permit, issued September 12, 1972, renewed September 27, 1982 and January 29, 1993,

Re: Mining Permit Renewal Changes
Miller Creek Quarry (Permit#81-01)
Rutherford County, NC
Dear Ms, Rodgers:
In response to your letter dated December 14, 2011, the following changes have been made
and are in green italics:
Revise the mine map to clearly label the mine permit boundary (notjust mine
boundary). Mine Permit Boundaryhas been revised and shown on the map.
Revise the mine map to label all buffers as undisturbed or unexcavated. All Mine
buffers have been labeled as undisturbed or unexcavated on mine map.
3. Revise the mine map to show all buffers as required by your current permit
conditions or submit a modification request (including processing fee) to this office
to change the current buffers. Refer to Operating Condition Nos. 3C and 3D. For
example, a minimum 100 foot undisturbed buffer is currently required along both
Mountain and Miller Creeks; however, you are only showing a 50 foot
undisturbed buffer along Mountain Creek and no buffer along Miller Creek
(Maple Creek?). All buffers along creeks have been labeled and shown as
undisturbed 1 00'buffer on map.
4. Please clarify the correct name of the creek running through the site. Previous
permits reference Miller Creek; however, the most recently submitted mine map
shows a Maple Creek. Correction has been made and shown on the revised map.
5. Revise the mine map to locate the well onsite. The previously approved mine
map showed the well location with a 100 foot undisturbed buffer (and silt fence)

Ashley -
Comments for Miller Creek -
1. Maple Creek is labeled on the plan - should be Miller Creek.
2. The 100' undisturbed buffer between land disturbing activity and the 2 creeks is not shown on the plan.
3. The well and 100' undisturbed buffer with silt fence is not shown.
4. Sediment basins are not numbered, slope drains are not shown, undisturbed buffers are not shown, affected area
limits are not shown, permit boundary is not labeled.
S. Can we remind them that an erosion control plan will have to be submitted prior to final reclamation showing how
Miller Creek will be diverted into the pit. Shouldn't the reclamation plan show this as well?
6. No reclamation plan.
Thanks-
Shawna

SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Renewal Request for:
Thompson Contractors, Inc.
Miller Creek Quarry
Rutherford County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
The Miller Creek Quarry, located in Rutherford County, does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on
ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to begin pumping
water from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Water Resources would like to be contacted
so that it may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground water supplies. .
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water
withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue requires any
non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface
water to register and update withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any
one day of surface water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers.
Water withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by April 1 for the previous
year.
If you have further questions please contact the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or send
correspondence to 1611 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-1611.

Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above
referenced project.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this operation having unduly adverse
effect on potable groundwater supplies (G.S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond by December 12, 2011 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 potable groundwater supplies 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. RETURN ALL APPLICATION
MATERIALS AND MAPS WITH YOUR REVIEW COMMENTS TO THIS OFFICE.
Your continued cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please contact Ms. Ashley Rodgers at (919) 733-

Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: December 8, 2011
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal For'fhompson Contractors, Inc.
Miller Creek Quarry
Mining permit No. 81-01
Staff with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) reviewed the application to renew the
permit far the 200-acre Miller Creek Quarry. Commentsfrom the Commission are provided under
provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-46 through 74-68; 15 NCAC 5) and the
North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et. seq.). .
Our staffwill not be able to coordinate a visit of this mine before you must act on the renewal. However,
we believe that this mine is not having an undue adverse effect on aquatic habitats provided the erosion
controls on the site are maintained and effective and the 50-foot buffers along stream courses are
adequately protecting the stream channels from sedimentation and erosion. We would appreciate being
advised if this mine is experiencing difficulties in these areas so that we may assist the operators with
improving stream protection. We also can provide technical assistance with reclaiming areas of the mine
in a manner that benefits wildlife. For instance, there are alternative ground coversto sericea lespedeza
and tall fescue, which are specified in the reclamation plan, that are more desirable to wildlife and that do
not impede the colonization of native vegetation.
'thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this permit action. Please contact me at (828)

The operator shall monitor each blast with a seismograph located at a distance
no farther than the closest off site regularly occupied structure not owned or
leased by the operator. A seismographic record including peak particle velocity, air
overpressure, and vibration frequency levels shall be kept for each blast (except as
provided under Sections B. and D. of this permit). The following blasting conditions shall
be observed by the mine operator to prevent hazard to persons and adjacent property
from surface blasting:
A. Ground Vibration With Monitoring:
In all blasting operations, the maximum peak particle velocity of any component
of ground motion shall not exceed Figure 1 (below) at the immediate location of
any regularly occupied building outside of the permitted area such as a dwelling
house, church, school, or public, commercial or institutional building.

The review has been completed on the shot records you previously submitted for the December
10, 2011 through February 2, 2012 blasts at the Miller Creek Quarry. Your company has been found
to be incompliance with the blasting conditions outlined in Mining Permit No. 81-01. 1 have already

RE: Blasting Complaint
Miller Creek Quarry
Permit No. 81-01
Rutherford County
Dear Larkins:
Our office has completed its review of Thompson Contractors' blasting information,
including blast reports related to the December 12, 2012 through February 2, 2012 blasts
conducted at its Miller Creek Quarry. It was found that Thompson Contractors was in compliance
with the blasting requirements of its mining permit during the period in question.
None of the blasts triggered the seismograph for ground vibration or airblast. The
seismograph was set up at a distance closer than the closest offsite occupied structure (the
location where compliance with the permit limits is determined). According to extensive research
by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and others, particle velocities below 0.5 ips effectively eliminate the
possibility of any structural damage.
Airblast readings are a measurement of the atmospheric pressure wave (overpressure) with
units in psi or dBL. The US Bureau of Mines recognized the level of 164 dBL for prevention of
glass breakage. A key point worth noting is that glass breakage occurs at much lower levels of
overpressure than structural damage, such as cracking plaster.
Thank you for your interest and patience in this matter. Hopefully I have answered your
concerns adequately. If you should have any additional questions or concerns, please contact me
at (9 19) 707-9220.
Sincerely,

Enclosed you will find the last three shot records.
None of the blasts triggered the seismograph, which is common for our blast.
Our last blast was monitored with a different machine, which was loaned to us by
the company that calibrates ours. We monitor all our blast, and most of the time
the seismograph is never triggered. Should you need any additional information
please call me.

Notification is required only with application of new permits to all adjoining landowners and modifications that add land
to new adjoining landowners that border the addition. No continuing obligations are required. Real estate disclosure
laws may be more applicable in this case.
Blasting limitations in North Carolina are based on the US Office of Surface Mining standards. Operators are required
to monitor blasts with a seismographs at a distance no farther than the closet off -site dwelling. Ground vibration and
air blast limits are recorded. Please note that houses may rattle without violations of the limits. Houses rattle with
thunder, truck traffic, air traffic, etc.
I can request the blasting information and investigate your complaint if you please provide the following information:
Your address and phone number
Dates of blasts in question
Name of quarry or location of quarry you suspect of blasting
Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Judy,
Do you have time to handle this inquiry? Shawna is out in the field and at the local program training til Friday. I would
think we mould address his issues better if he gives us the specific mine and location. I will be happy to respond back to
him and refer him to you?
Just let me know.

Subject: Request for Information
Good morning.
I need information about a quarry in my area, I hope that falls under your per -view.
1 live, and the quarry is located, in Rutherford County. I hope this is within your jurisdiction. Even if you do not
service Rutherfor County, my questions are of a generic nature, so maybe you can answer them.
I believe that a mining application requires evidence that adjacent property owners be informed. Question: If a
quarry is essentially a mine, and a quarry application showed evidence (years ago) of having notified adjacent
properly owners of the plan to start a mine/quarry, is there a continuing obligation on anyone's part to advise
future owners of the adjacent properties that the mine/quarry exists ?
Question: Is there any restriction on the size (intensity) of the blasting that can occur at a mino/quarry location
? if "yes", who monitors the blast and how?
The reason that I am asking these questions is because a recent blast at a nearby quarry really really rattled my
home.
Sincerely

Miller Creek Quarry

DAVID D. SMITH and COMPANY

46 Haywood Street., Suite 201-A
Asheville, NC 28801
May 2, 2002
Project Description:
The site is an existing and active 200-acre granite quarry, which produces aggregate for various uses
throughout the area. This quarry is located 2.5 miles west of Rutherfordmn off Highway 108 in Rutherford
County, N.C.
This submittal is part of the required 10-year permit renewal process. The scope of work covered by this
permit renewal includes expansion of the existing mine pit in order m pmvide 30 more years worth of
active quarrying at the projected rate as well as further mining of the existing mine floor. Overburden
removed as a result of the pit expansion will be spread and graded in selected areas and then seeded and
re -vegetated with native hardwoods and pines as part of the reclamation process. For added stability, the
existing grade to receive the fill material will be benched with 50 ft. wide x 10 ft. high benches.
Overburden to be left in place will be sloped to the top of the rock (leaving a 10' wide safety bench) at the
natural angle of repose (2:1) or flatter and then seeded with a mixture of permanent grass seed.
Approximately 25.5 acres of land will be disturbed as a result of this work.
Site Description:
The existing quarry pit, located west of the proposed pit expansion has very steep cuts where the stone is
mined. The floor of the existing mine pit where a portion of the work associated with this project will be
conducted is relatively flat. Water collected in this pit is pumped out and routed through existing sill traps
for treatment. The area designated to receive the overburden material generated from the mine pit
expansion work is heavily to very heavily wooded and has a moderate to steep grade (approx. 17-23%) and
slopes toward the east. In this same direction, an existing unnamed tributary flows along the eastern
property line toward the southwest where it eventually discharges into Mountain Creek. A 50 foot
undisturbed buffer will be maintained on each side of the creek to protect it from disturbance as a result of
construction activities.
Planned Erosion Control
Silt fence will be provided down slope of all fill slopes. At the top of the fill slopes, diversion berms and
slope drains will be provided to collect and transport stormwater to stabilized out falls at the base of the
slope. Diversion ditches below will then collect and direct this sediment -laden runoff from the fill slopes
into sediment basins (with risen and barrels) and silt pits for treatment which are easily accessible for
routine maintenance by equipment available on -site. All erosion control devices are sized for a 25-year
storm return frequency. Along the creek buffer, silt fence will provide an additional filtering mechanism
for runoff which passes through the silt pits and sediment basins. Fill slopes will he tracked perpendicular
to the slope with a bulldozer and then three-dimensional wood fiber erosion Control blankets will be
provided on the fill slopes that face the stream. All disturbed areas not scheduled to receive pavement will
be seeded with a permanent grass seed mixture and vegetated as specified on the drawings. The total area
to receive permanent seeding will be 25.5 acres.

Dear Mr. Thompson:
NCDENR
Division of Land Resources
The review has been completed on the modification request your company submitted for
the above referenced mine site. However, the following is needed to continue processing your
application:
The reclamation bond was calculated for this site using the information submitted on the
Mine Maps dated August 1992 and the renewal application dated September 1992. The
reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be $57,800.00. The calculation worksheet
is enclosed for your review and the bond will be required prior to approval of this modification.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings account
form and irrevocable standby letter of credit form for your use in securing the required bond. The
name on the security must be the same as the name appearing on the application for a mining
permit, i.e., Thompson Contractors, Inc. In addition to one of these alternatives, you may, upon
request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that the modification request cannot be completed until the new bond
amount has been received,

Relocation of Access Road at Miller Creek ir

Copy to File
Kris Riddle and I have reviewed the sediment control for the proposed
relocation of the access road at the Miller Creek (Thompson) Quarry in
Rutherford County. The erosion and sediment control measures are
adequate in our opinion. We do not foresee any problems with the
relocation. The City of Asheville Logo on the sheet must be just a CAD
error. A copy of the plans was routed to Roger Edwards with Water
Quality. There were no objections to the proposed changes. I am
sending you the routing sheet and Water Quality check sheet via state
courier_
