September 17, 2021
We have reviewed the transfer request your company 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. During a recent inspection it was noted that some of the Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC)
measures needed additional maintenance. Please provide proof that E&SC measures have been
properly maintain as noted on the enclosed inspection report.
2. During a recent inspection it was noted that the mine map provided with the transfer application did
not match current site conditions, nor the onsite mine manager's map. Please provide an updated map
that clearly reflects current site conditions. The map should include all the required items outlined in
the Mine Permit Application (see requirements on pg. 3 of the mine permit application).
3. Please provide the location of the operation on pg. 1 of the application in decimal degrees, rather than
degrees, minutes, and seconds.
4. Please complete the affected acreage table, which should match acreages on the map, and provide an
expected life of the operation (in years), so that the reclamation bond can be properly determined.
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.
