RE: Site #2 Mine
Mining Permit No. 27-44
Currituck County
Pasquotank River Basin
Dear Mr. Etheridge Jr.:
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
April 4, 2022
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 N.C.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 reason for the acreage not matching. It appears that the 0.7 acre settling pond was
not included in the original permit but should have been as this is affected area. Please clarify if the
mine maps received by the department on October 25, 2021, are correct.
2. The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted in the application
(see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is $18,400.00. The bond is required before
the permit can be issued. For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a
savings account form and an irrevocable standby letter of credit form. The name on the security form
must be the same as the name appearing on the permit. In addition to one of these alternatives you
may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
3. Please clarify if this permit will be issued to Roy Lee Etheridge Jr., or your company, Lee Septic and
Land Company LLC. The name on the application must match the name on the reclamation security.
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.
