SUBJECT: Mining Permit Modification for Ararat Rock Products Company
Mt. Airy Quarry
Surry County
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 May 19, 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 (919) 707-
9207 if you have any questions.
