Re: Daurity Springs Quarry — Mining Permit No. 19-22 — Chatham County —
Cape Fear River Basin ("Mine")
Dear Mr. Wrenn:
As you are likely aware, FSC II, LLC dba Daurity Springs Quarry ("FSC") submitted
transfer requests for the permits of the above -referenced Mine. In response to the request, FSC
received correspondence from Adam Parr, Assistant State Mining Engineer, requesting additional
or revised information for the Mine such that the request for transfer could be reviewed. The letter
from Mr. Parr included 4 items that needed to be addressed within a 180-day time frame.
Pursuant to that letter, FSC is respectfully requesting an extension of time to complete the
outstanding items. FSC represents to you that the majority of the items listed by Mr. Parr have
been addressed. However, due to circumstances beyond FSC's control, it requires additional time
to complete the remaining outstanding items. Specifically, FSC requires additional time to
complete an updated mine map. FSC has engaged a third -party consultant to assist in the creation
of the updated mine maps. During the process, the consultant identified wetlands that had not
previously been included on prior maps. Due to this finding, the proposed map must be submitted
to the Army Corps of Engineers for approval of the wetlands. We have been told that the approval
process can take from 60 to 90 days. It is my understanding that the updated mine map is the only
outstanding item that needs to be addressed among the list of items from Mr. Parr. Accordingly,
FSC respectfully requests an extension of time of 120 days to allow sufficient time to complete
this work and provide the additional or revised information so that the request for transfer of the
permits may be adequately reviewed.
