RE: Site #2 Mine
Mining Permit No. 27-44
Currituck County
Pasquotank River Basin
Dear Mr. Etheridge Jr.:
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
December 10, 2021
We have reviewed the transfer request 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:
1. Please clarify the name of the applicant for this permit. Page 1 of the application and the mine maps
list Roy Lee Etheridge, Jr. as the applicant and proposed permittee. However, the bond that was sent
in with the application lists Lee Septic and Land Company, LLC., as the applicant. The name of the
permittee and the name on the reclamation security must match exactly.
2. The affected acreage on the mine map does not match the current affected area for this permit or the
affected acreage on the table included in the application. It appears that the sediment pond (0.7 acres)
was not included in the acreage in the application. Please clarify the affected area for this permit.
3. The Assignment of Savings Account (No. 4259017748) form is being returned to you because it is not
sufficient to cover the reclamation amount. Please see the enclosed bond calculation worksheet for the
correct reclamation security amount.
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.
