Dear Mr. Martino:
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 your company already has a blanket bond sufficient to cover this
application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 17-02 were based primarily upon information supplied in the application with
conditions added as necessary to ensure compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. G.S. §74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning
regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any agency or department of the State
of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 630 acres and the amount of land you are approved to disturb
is 409 acres, as indicated in the application and on the mine maps with dates shown in Table 3.1 — Mine Maps
Revision Table.
Please review the permit and contact Adam Parr, PE, Assistant State Mining Specialist, at [phone] of any
objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.
Sincerely, ,�� 11/�/
