Environmental Quality
July 1, 2021
TO: Mr. Adam Parr
NCDEMLR-Land Quality Section
FROM: Gabrielle Chianese, CCPCUA Program Manager
Ground Water Management Branch
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Request for:
Sunland Sand and Gravel, Inc.
Roberts Road Mine
Carteret County
The Roberts Road Mine located in Carteret County may have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since they propose to dewater 300,000 gallons per day (gpd). This mine will need
to obtain a Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) water withdrawal permit if the
mine is withdrawing 100,000 gallons per day (gpd) of water. If the mine is withdrawing 10,000
gpd to 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to register their water withdrawals with the
CCPCUA program.
I have mailed this letter along with the CCPCUA permit application form and water use
registration form for the permit applicant to complete. The permit applicant needs to submit the
application form or registration form (whichever is applicable) as soon as possible.
15A NCAC 02E .0500: 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 161 for go online
