Re: Mill Creek Mine No. 2 (Draft Permit)
Johnston County
Neuse River Basin
Dear Mr. Bailey:
Pat McCrory, Governor
John E. Skvarla, III, Secretary
Your application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been
reviewed but not yet approved. Enclosed is a draft of the mining permit proposed by the
Department. The conditions in the draft permit were based primarily upon information
supplied in your application. Other necessary conditions may have been added to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
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 $92,200.00.
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
enclosed draft permit, i.e., Blue Water Sand and Gravel, Inc. In addition to one of these
alternatives you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and the reclamation bond worksheet, and
contact this office should you have any objections or questions concerning the permit
conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a
notice of the required bond in which to file the required surety.
The permit cannot be issued until the required security has been received. No mining
may be conducted until the permit is issued. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining
permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning
regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any agency or
department of the State of North Carolina.

In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as the Department,
and in conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of
this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.

Judy,
As per our telephone conversation yesterday, we have revised the mine maps and I have sent them to you. You should
receive them today (next day package, mailed yesterday afternoon).
In response to, and in an attempt to satisfy the requirements of Mr. Holley's comment No. 2 below.
2. A crossing detail was already present on the map showing the required check dams at any ditch outlet. In addition to
this we have added a table for stabilization timeframes with the requirement for excelsior matting application if the
slopes, swells, ditches, etc. cannot be stabilized within the timeframes outlined, and an additional detail sheet D-2 for
excelsior matting application.
If you should have further questions, please advise.
Thanks,
Don Quinn

The revised application has been reviewed, and I offer the following comments for your consideration:
(1) The notification and affected area listing now appear sufficient.
(2) While the S&E measures proposed now appear to be sufficient, it is still not completely clear how the access
road will be addressed. Wherever the road needs to be re -graded of constructed, check dams appear to be
necessary at all ditch outlets from the affected roadway corridor. Further, without supporting computations, all
ditches should be provided with a temporary liner to ensure that timely stabilization is achieved. If conventional
seeding and mulching is proposed, at least a worst case computation should be provided to verify that the ditch
can be effectively stabilized in that manner.
I can support approval with appropriate conditions to address item 2 above, or better still, a revised map showing more
clarity regarding S&E. If there are further questions, please advise.

We have reviewed the application your company submitted for the referenced mine site.
However, the following information is needed to continue processing your application:
1. As previously requested, please complete the enclosed acreage chart. Acreage
must be provided for the overburden stockpiles, haul roads, any stockpile or
processing areas, unexcavated buffers, mine excavation area, etc.
2. Please address the concerns regarding the access roads:
Ditch stabilization and specific temporary sediment control have not been
addressed around the SR 1200 entrance. At a minimum some silt fence will be
needed over the existing access road culvert inlet and outlet to contain proposed
roadway construction, and check dams may be necessary at roadway ditch
outlets around the crossing.
3. Please address the following concerns regarding erosion and sediment control:
No specific initial pit openings have been specified. Silt fence appears necessary
as a minimum at the perimeter toe of the berms,, especially along either side of
the buffered ditch between pit 2 and pit 3. The initial pit openings and "sediment
check dams, sediment retarding structures, rip rap pits or ditches" specified by
the designer should be depicted on the drawings to ensure that adequate S&E is
provided.

Subject:
Mill Creek Mine #2, Johnston Co., Suspense Date 1-7-14
I completed the review of this revised application yesterday evening, and I offer the following comments:
(1) The information about the features. identified by DWR appears complete and consistent with the original DWR
comments. It does not appear that the features will be in conflict with the proposed affected area.
(2) The proposed roads are still not fully addressed. Although a construction entrance has been added as well as
individual construction details, ditch stabilization and specific temporary sediment control have not been addressed
around the SR 1200 entrance. Although the plan indicates that all roadway ditches will be constructed so that runoff is
directed to the pits, no specific initial pit openings have been specified. The existing watercourse crossing is
acknowledged, but I suspect that at least some silt fence will be needed over the culvert inlet and outlet to contain
proposed roadway construction, and check dams may be necessary at roadway ditch outlets around the crossing.
(3) The proposed overburden berm detail looks fine, but I believe initial containment will be needed for the berm
construction, particularly outside of the pits. Silt fence appears necessary as a minimum at the perimeter toe of the
berms, especially along either side of the buffered ditch between pit 2 and pit 3. The initial pit openings and "sediment
check dams, sediment retarding structures, rip rap pits or ditches" specified by the designer should be depicted on the
drawings to ensure that adequate S&E is provided.
(4) The access permission provided appears sufficient.
I cannot support approval until 2 & 3 above have been addressed. If there are any questions, please advise.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter 74,
Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is unlikely that any
archaeological sites which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be
affected by the proposed borrowing. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be
conducted in connection with this project.
While we note that this project review is only for a state permit, the potential for federal permits may require
further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,

New Mine Application
Dear Ms. Wehner:
In response to your letter dated December 2, 2013 requesting additional information, Enclosed are 6
copies of the revised mine maps.
1. The two streams that run along the boundary of the property have been identified on the map
and riparian buffers noted. We would like to comment that undisturbed buffers greater than or
equal to the Neuse River buffers had already been applied.
2. A cross section of existing roads and crossing as well as proposed roads are included. The haul
road between the pits will be graded such that run off will be directed back to the pit area.
3. A cross section of the overburden berms is included.
l / The acreage chart has been revised to reflect the data requested.
5. As each pit is created the 3 to 5 feet of overburden will be stripped off and utilized to create the
berm around the pit, internal haul roads, etc. These mechanical barriers should be sufficient to
retain runoff in the pit. Additionally, sediment check dams, sediment retarding structures, rip
rap pits or ditches shall be provided in the initial stages of land disturbing activities to prevent
sediment discharges onto adjacent surface areas or into any wetlands or adjacent watercourse
in proximity to the affected land.

...
..r
6. Enclosed is an affidavit signed by Ms. Mcbride and notorized attesting that she has been notified
and also granting permission to allow mining activities to occur within 50 feet of her property
boundaries.
If after your review you should require additional information, please advise.
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

LAND QUALITY SECTION
SUBJECT: Comments on Mining Permit Application for Mill Creek Mine No. 2 in Johnston
County.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed
the subject permit application. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the
Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982) (G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
Blue Water Sand and Gravel, Inc. has applied for a new mining permit application for Mill Creek
Mine No. 2 in southern Johnston County. Sand, gravel, and clay will be mined. The proposed
mine is located on the southwestern side of the Neuse River, upstream of the Mill Creek
confluence. Aerial images suggest that the proposed mine is near an oxbow, or abandoned
channel, on the southwest side of the Neuse River.
The total disturbed area for the proposed mine is 61.3 acres. Three pits are proposed for the new
mine; pits 2 and 3 are located on the same tract of land while pit 1 is located on a nearby tract
that does not join the tract for pits 2 and 3. The two tracts of land are currently in agricultural
land use with some forested land on the outer edges of the proposed pits. The applicant has
proposed a haul road with a 50' easement through a wooded tract to connect the three pits. No
water will be discharged to waters of the state; all water at the mine will be diverted back into the
mine pit. The applicant indicates that the resulting pond will not be stocked with fish.

NCWRC COMMENTS MILL CREEK MINE NO.2
Should this new mine be permitted, we offer the following recommendations to minimize
impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.
1. Maintain a minimum 100-foot undisturbed native, forested buffer along perennial
streams, and a minimum 50-foot buffer along intermittent streams and wetlands.
Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas will reduce impacts to aquatic
and terrestrial wildlife resources, water quality, aquatic habitat both within and
downstream of the project area. In addition, these buffers will provide an adequate travel
corridor for wildlife species. A grassed buffer, particularly fescue, is a vegetated buffer
but will not provide the necessary and highly valuable functions as discussed for forested
buffers. We request that sediment and erosion control structures be located outside of
these buffers.
2. Consider using seed mixtures (e.g., native warm season grasses) that are beneficial to
wildlife in the reclamation plan. An exact seeding mixture would need to take into
account soil types, moisture, pH, and degree of slope of areas to be stabilized. In
addition, for relatively shallow sediment basin reclamation, we recommend these areas be
reclaimed as wetlands where practicable.
3. If the applicant later decides to stock fish, only species native to the area should be
stocked. A stocking permit from the NCWRC is now required to stock any species of
fish, mollusks or crustaceans in the public, inland fishing waters of North Carolina. For
more information on stocking permits go to:
ham•//www newildlife ore/Fishing/HatcheriesStockinp/StockingPermits.aVx
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this mining permit modification.

Dear Mr. Martin:
Pat McCrory, Governor
John E. Skvada, III, Secretary
Thank you for your letter dated October 24, 2013 expressing your concerns regarding
the Mill Creek Mine #2 in Johnston County.
Your concerns certainly deserve evaluation. Before a decision is made to grant or deny
the mining permit, concerns within the jurisdiction of NCGS 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971
must be addressed. During the application review, site inspections will be made and
comments will be solicited from other agencies regarding the potential impacts to wildlife, air
and water quality and groundwater.
Please note, however, that zoning concerns, such as truck traffic, noise and property
values, are not within the jurisdiction of The Mining Act and are more appropriately addressed
through the local government. The Mining Act of 1971 may be downloaded by going to
hftr):Hportal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/
Again, thank you for your letter. Your comments will be incorporated into our review. If
you have any additional questions, please contact me at [phone].
Si cerely,

OCT 2 S 7013
;AND QUALITY SECTION
Today I received a certified letter from Probe Resources, LLC, stating that Blue
Water Sand and Gravel, Inc., PO Box 1335, Burlington, NC 27216 (Jack Bailey) has
applied for a permit to mine property on Williford Road in Johnston County, NC
that is directly across the road from my property. I would like to go on record
today as being opposed to this for several reasons.
My family has owned this property for close to 75 years and it has always been a
working farm. My Paternal Grandfather and his brothers owned all of the land on
my side of the Williford Road for many years and one farm on the opposite side.
My Maternal Grandfather lived on this road until he died. He actually lived in a
house on the property for which the permit is being applied for. The road
(Williford Road in Johnston County, named for my grandfather, Pete
Williford... and Mill Creek road in Wayne County) was always a dirt road until a few
years ago. It was finally paved after many requests from myself and others who
have a history down in this area. A mining facility was opened adjacent to my
property shortly thereafter and the trucks began rolling in and out and promptly
destroyed the road. It has been touched up, but is still not the greatest. If a new
mine is allowed, you can be sure this road will not hold up very long.
The machinery that it takes to mine or dredge depending on what they plan to do
is also very loud. Now that I have reached retirement age and have plans to build
a cabin at my farm so that we can begin a produce operation, this distresses me
greatly. I have been down there many days trying to work and listening to the
machinery at the last mining operation and I can tell you that it is very distracting.
This new operation is directly across the road from my property and the noise
pollution will be greater. Since it is a remote area, they don't really try to operate
by the rules and regulations that the State of North Carolina requires.

This whole area from south of the Neuse River on Richardson Bridge Road to
Stephens Mill Road is in the 100 year flood plain and I cannot understand how
they can begin to get a permit to operate a mining facility there. I applied many
years ago to operate a hog farm (Murphy Farms) and was turned down because it
is in the flood plain. We always raised hogs, chickens and cows there and plan to
do the same again on the ground as we did in the past.
The last operation that I mentioned above went bankrupt pretty quick and left
many bills unpaid to the State and other companies. I understand that these are
different people and they probably have a better financial base, but I predict an
outcome very much like the last company.
This whole area is a quiet, peaceful country setting that produces wonderful crops
because of the high water table and the good soil. Please don't let these folks
come in and destroy that.
Thank you.

I reviewed this just before the holiday, but wanted to discuss the stormwater-related issues with Dave before I sent in
comments. I spoke with him this morning, and now offer the following for your consideration:
(1) DAQ and DWR comments are attached. There is nothing too unusual here, but Danny's comments regarding the
general mining stormwater permit seem to support the need for a stream/wetland determination by DWR as we
consider coverage under the general permit. We recommend that application be made with Bradley's work
group for coverage under the general permit, and that the DWR determination be requested to ensure that all
applicable water protection issues are addressed.
(2) The general S&E concept is typical and should be acceptable, but we need more details before we can support
the proposed plan. The proposed access road (particularly the connector between pits #1 & #2) must be
supported with appropriate cross-section details as well as any ditch or other surface drain (culverts) designs
that may be necessary. It appears that the "existing" farm path access from SR 1200 will need to be upgraded to
accommodate the traffic, requiring appropriate S&E (construction entrance/check dams as a minimum). In
addition, the initial pit openings for each area to be affected need to be specified to ensure that adequate
sediment containment will be provided for the anticipated initial exposed areas associated with each section to
be mined.
(3) The affected areas (by category) need to be specified by the applicant (application page 5).
I cannot support approval until these issues are addressed. If there are any questions, please advise.

Judy,
Hi. At your convenience could you loan me the maps for Mill Creek Mine No. 2 (Blue Water Sand and Gravel, Inc.) in
Johnston County? I think I could almost find it from the black and white photocopied map portion I have, but I can't
discern the boundaries from it.
Thanks, and have a good weekend.

SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Application Request for:
Blue Water Sand and Gravel, Inc.
Mill Creek Mine #2
Johnston County
The Mill Creek Mine #2, located in Johnston County, does not appear to have an unduly adverse
effect on ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes
necessary to begin pumping water from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of
Water Resources would like to be contacted so that it may further investigate any potential
effects on potable ground water supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to
register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-
215.22H. This statue requires any non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or
more in any one day of ground water or surface water to register and update withdrawals. This
statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of surface water from
one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers. Water
withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by April 1 for the
previous year.
If you have further questions please contact the Division of Water Resources at [phone]
or send correspondence to 1611 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-1611.
