The proposed permitted area is 13.84 acres and is on a tract of land owned by Walter Ives, Jr. A portion of this site is disturbed from a previous single - source borrow pit in 2019. Project ID: JONES-2020-003. The proposed mine site will increase acreage primarily to the north and east. The proposed south and west permit boundaries are close to the existing disturbed area in an effort to stay away from the river and stream and in hopes to avoid the need for wetland delineation. Six copies of the N.C. Mining Permit Application, six copies of the mine map and a check for $3,750.00 is enclosed. All adjoining property owners have been properly notified along with the Jones County Manager and the N.C. Department of Transportation.
