July 28, 2021
We have reviewed the application you submitted for the referenced mine site. In order for this office to complete
its review of the referenced project in accordance with G.S. §74-50 and §74-51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please
provide the additional or revised information in accordance with the following comments:
Please clarify the requested permitted and affected acreage. There are inconsistencies between the
permitted acres on pg. 1, the acreage table on pg. 7 of the application, the bonding calculation on pg.
18 of the application and the affected acreage table on map sheet 2 of 4.
2. Please provide proof, such as copy of the signed return receipts from certified mail, that all adjoining
landowners and chief administrative officer of each county and municipality have been properly
notified.
Please clarify the need to discharge water from the permit boundary. Question 3b of the mine
application states no discharge, however question 3c states there will be discharge to wetlands.
4. Please provide the hydrogeologic report referenced in question 3c of the mining application.
5. Please provide proof of application for the NPDES permit.
6. Please clearly indicate and label on the mine map the location and names of all streams, rivers, and
lakes. Boggy Branch appears in the vicinity but is not shown on the mine maps.
7. Please clearly indicate and label on the mine map wetland boundaries. Please provide a valid wetland
delineation for wetlands.
Please note, this office may request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application
review progresses. Be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed above have been
fully addressed.
