SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Thomas Simpson Construction, Inc.
Simpson Hocutt Mine
Carteret County
Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit application request for the above
referenced project.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this operation having unduly adverse
effect on wildlife and freshwater fisheries (G.S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond by November 30, 2020 so that we may
complete our review of this request within our statutory time limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications, renewals and modifications, this office will
carefully review all proposed erosion and sediment control measures to ensure that they are sufficient to restrain
erosion and off -site sedimentation. However, any comments your agency can provide regarding effects on wildlife
and freshwater fisheries would be greatly appreciated. If your staff wishes to perform a site inspection, it is
recommended that they contact the person submitting this request to set up a convenient date and time. Also,
please send a copy of your comments to the person noted in the application.
Your continued cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please contact Mr. Adam Parr at [phone] if you
have any questions.
