We have reviewed the modification 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 N.C.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. Your July 8, 2021 application states that you will avoid or impact Stream Feature F and Wetlands W 13
on the newly acquired Powell and Kinney tracts, depending on whether USACE determines these
features to be exclusive. Your maps show that you intend to impact these features. Please provide the
USACE determination to impact these features or provide maps showing plans to avoid these features.
2. Your current permit condition 5A mentions groundwater monitoring wells. These wells are not marked
on the most recently submitted maps. Please clarify if these wells or any other wells are still in use.
Please indicate and label on the mine map any new wells that have been installed.
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.
