TO: Mr. Adam Parr

FROM: Gabrielle Chianese
Ground Water Management Branch
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Request for:
Thomas Simpson Construction, Inc.
Simpson Hocutt Mine
Carteret County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit request for the above referenced project.
The Simpson Hocutt Mine located in Carteret County does not appear to have an unduly adverse
effect on ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the
mine starts to withdraw 10,000 gpd to 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to register their water
withdrawals and if this mine starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd or more of water, they will need to
obtain a CCPCUA water withdrawal hermit.
A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) water withdrawal permit must be
obtained from the Division of Water Resources if the withdrawal exceeds 100,000 gallons per
day and occurs in Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Duplin, Edgecombe, Greene, Jones, Lenoir,
Martin, Onslow, Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.
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 1611 or go online
to www.ncwater.org/CCPCUA.
