Saamty D. Rtid Wdson
SUBJECT: 30-acre Rogers Nursery and Landscaping, Inc. Mining Permit, Beaufort County,
ER 21-1004
We have received additional maps submitted by managers of Roger's Nursery and Landscaping, Inc.
showing the actual layout of the proposed Rogers Pit #2 mine in Beaufort County. After careful review of
the documents, we have determined that an archaeological survey is not a recommended course of action
due to the previous disturbance of the tract from agriculture and mining activities. We therefore rescind the
recommendation, in a letter dated May 20, 2021, that an archaeological survey be conducted over the tract.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36
CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579
or environmental.reviewC,ncdcr gov. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the
above referenced tracking number.

Subject: Rogers Pit, Beaufort County
Adam, we have visited the site and have determined that the blue line stream that separates the
two pits is infact a ditch and the buffer rules will not apply. What else do you need from me or from
Mr. Rogers. I though I sent you something, but apparently I did not. I am in the field today, but let
me know what you need or we this suffice.
Thanks!
