Dear Barnhill Contracting Company:

This letter is to advise you of recent amendments to the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 which impact the
permit term of your existing mining permit. Pursuant to the passage of House Bill 56, which became law on October 4,
2017 as SL 2017-209, all existing mining permits and any newly issued mining permits are to be issued for the life of site
or for the duration of the lease term. The "life of site" means the period from the initial receipt of a permit for the operation
until the mining operation terminates and the required reclamation is completed.
Considering the above, this letter hereby modifies your existing mining permit to remove all references to the prior
expiration date to convert your permit to a life of site or lease permit effective immediately. No action is required on your
part for this modification to be effective. Please attach this letter to your existing miniDg permit for future reference. The
mine name and permit number on the permit document, and all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained
therein, shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS §74-51 and GS §74-52 still apply to all new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, SI- 2017-209 also enacted a new annual mining
permit operating fee of $400 per mining permit number. By statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be
submitted to this office by December 31, 2017 — see the attached Invoice to remit the initial annual fee payment by this
deadline. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by July 1 of each year with the required
Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS §74-55. Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a
$50/month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.
Lastly, pursuant to GS §74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from $500,000 to $1 million. Any
adjustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this office or addressed during your next requested permit action
unless you contact this office with a written request to have your bond reevaluated.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning regulations. The
responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations remains with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. if you have any questions on the above, please contact Ms. Judy
Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Partington:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
TRACY DAVIS
Director
Please be advised that the NC Mining Act of 1971 was amended on October 4, 2017 by
Session Law 2d17-209 which states that all existing mining permits and any newly issued
mining permits are to be issued for the life of site or lease term. Thus, there is no expiration
date for this mining permit. The mine name and permit number on the permit document, and
all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained therein, shall remain in full force
and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS 74-51 and GS 74-52 still apply for new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, Session Law 2017-209
also enacted a new annual mining permit operating fee of $400 per mining permit number. By
statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be submitted to this office by
December 31, 2017. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by
July 1 of each year with the required Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS 74-55.
Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a $501month late fee and could
result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.
Lastly, pursuant to GS 74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from
$500,000 to $1 million. Any adjustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this
office or addressed during your next requested permit action unless you contact this office with
a written request to have your bond reevaluated.
The conditions in the permit were based primarily upon the initial application.
Modifications were made as indicated by the request and as required to insure compliance
with The Mining Act of 1971. 1 would like to draw your particular attention to the following
conditions where minor additions or changes were made: Operating Condition Nos, 4D, 5 and

which shall provide that the usefulness, productivity and scenic values of
all lands and waters affected by this mining operation will receive the
greatest practical degree of protection and restoration.

Page 2
In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environmental Quality, hereinafter referred to as the Department, and in
conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of this
permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.
Definitions
Wherever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise,
terms shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-49.
Modifications

Constructors Inc. to APAC-Carolina, Inc., Crowell Constructors Division.
December 5, 2007: This permit has been simultaneously transferred in its entirety from
APAC-Carolina Inc., Crowell Constructors Division to Barnhill Contracting Company and
renewed.
This permit is valid for the life of the site or life of lease, if applicable, as defined by Session
Law 2017-209 and has no expiration date. However, all provisions of GS 74-51 and GS 74-52
still apply for new, transferred and modified mining permits.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Brenda M. Harris
Mining Program Secretary
Land Quality Section
FROM: Gabriela Garrison, G�
Eastern Piedmont Coordinator
Habitat Conservation
DATE: August 26, 2017
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal for Barnhill Contracting Company — Bottomless Pit — Permit No.
09-10, Bladen County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject
permit application. Comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as
amended, 1982) (G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
The applicant, Barnhill Contracting Company, is requesting a renewal of their permit to mine sand, sand -
clay and gravel at the Bottomless Pit. The total permitted area is 5.27 acres. The applicant has indicated
the site does not discharge fresh or wastewater, nor are there operations that involve washing mined
material, recycling process water or handling other wastewater. The site will be reclaimed as a
recreational pond with gradual sloping. Stockpiles will be removed and the entire area will be stabilized
and seeded in accordance with a seeding schedule. This site is located along Old Boardman Road,
southwest of its intersection with NC Highway 242, southwest of Bladenboro.
Aerial images and maps indicate Big Swamp flows north of the project site. Horsepen Branch flows
south of the site. If the permit is renewed, the NCWRC offers the following recommendations to
minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources:
The applicant has indicated there are no natural watercourses or wetlands onsite. If future
expansion is proposed, the NCWRC recommends maintaining a minimum 100-foot undisturbed
native, forested buffer along perennial streams, and a minimum 50-foot buffer along intermittent
streams and wetlands. Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas will reduce
impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and improve water quality. In addition, these
buffers provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. Grassed buffers, particularly fescue, do not
provide the necessary and highly valuable functions that forested buffers provide. Sediment and
erosion control structures should be located outside of the buffers.

Bottomless Pit Permit Renewal
Permit No. 09-10
2. Consider using seed mixtures that are beneficial to wildlife (e.g., native warm season grasses) in
the reclamation plan. An exact seeding mixture would need to consider soil types, moisture, pH
and degree of slope of areas to be stabilized. Relatively shallow sediment basins can be
reclaimed as wetlands where practicable. Free technical assistance from NCWRC biologists is
available for ideas on establishing vegetation or incorporating other measures that are beneficial
for wildlife.
The use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices is strongly
recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting
that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal
twines. Silt fencing and similar products that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh
should be avoided as they impede the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and
sediment loads can have detrimental effects on aquatic resources, including destruction of
spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging of gills.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit renewal. if 1 can be of further assistance, please
contact me at [phone] or abg riela. arri�soni newildlife,org.

LAND QUALITY
MINING PROGRAM
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
The Bottomless Pit located in Bladen County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on
ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the mine starts to
withdraw 100,000 gallons per day of water, they will need to register their water withdrawals with the
Division. of Water Resources on an annual basis. The registration form may be obtained from the
following link:
http://www.ncwater.org/Permits_and_Registration/Water Withdrawal and—Transfer_Registration.
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statute requires any non-agricultural water user who
withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface water to register and
update withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of
surface water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers.
Water withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by April 1 for the
previous year.
If you have further questions regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr
with the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or email him at [e-mail].

Dear Mr. Simmons,
On October 23, 2006 Barnhill Contracting Company purchased the assets of the

acquired the above referenced pit.
In an effort to transfer mining permit 09-10 from APAC to Barnhill it has been
discovered that the permit has expired. Please understand that with an
acquisition of this magnitude we are still assessing our needs and how best to
utilize what we have,
I am hereby requesting a renewal and transfer of permit 09-10 even though it has
already expired.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding regarding this matter.

RE: Bottomless Pit
Permit No. 09-10

Dear Mr. Simmons,
On October 23, 2006 Barnhill Contracting Company purchased the assets of the
Coastal Carolina Division of APAC Carolina, Inc. As part of the purchase we
acquired the above referenced pit.
In an effort to transfer mining permit 09-10 from APAC to Barnhill it has been
discovered that the permit has expired. Please understand that with an
acquisition of this magnitude we are still assessing our needs and how best to
utilize what we have.
I am hereby requesting a renewal and transfer of permit 09-10 even though it has
already expired.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding regarding this matter.

Bottomless Pit
Bladen County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit application request for the above referenced project.
The Bottomless Pit located in Bladen County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground water
supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to begin pumping water from
the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Water Resources would like to be contacted so that it
may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground water supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water
withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue requires any
,on -agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface
ater to register withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of
,face water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water withdrawals and
race water transfers every five years.

RE: Mining Permit Renewal and Transfer — Barnhill Contracting Co.
Bladen County Permit 09-10
Dear Mr. Williams:
Enclosed are six (6) complete sets of the Mining Permit Renewal and Transfer
Application from Barnhill Contracting Co. Inc. for the APAC-Crowell "Bottomless Pit"
(Permit 09-10) in Bladen County. Also enclosed are a check in the amount of
$100.00 for the renewal fee and six sets of the following four drawings:
o S-1: Existing Mine map and Reclamation Plan
o S-2: Wetlands, Vicinity, Tax, and Topoquad maps.S-3: .
o DET 1: Site and Erosion Control Details with Cross -Section
This mine is located approximately 350 feet north of NCSR 1195 — Old Boardman
Road southwest of Bladenboro near the Bladen & Robeson County line. The site is
currently a 5.27-acre partially -excavated site, with the remainder being wooded with
- enerall scrub -oaks and- ine - Bamhili=Contr�6c-tin Co has pwchased the entire60=
acre tract owned by APAC-Crowell, which includes the permitted area.
A 50-foot wide undisturbed woodland buffer will be maintained along the adjoining
property lines to the northeast and southwest. A 300-foot wooded buffer lies
between the mine and NCSR 1195. All of the remaining property owned by Barnhill
Contracting Company and located to the northwest of the mine site is undisturbed
woodland.
The existing construction entrance at Old Boardman will be upgraded with 2-3 inch
diameter stone. There is an existing steel locking gate located at the entrance.

• Page 2 September 16, 2007
The proposed reclamation for the site will be as a recreational pond, which will be
stocked with hybrid bream and bass. The existing roadway will remain in use for
access by the owners.
When your staff has verified the bond requirements, the owner will provide an ILOC
or bond for the required amount. Please feel free to have someone contact me at
252-560-2193 if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,

Steve,
Just wanted to give you a quick update. I submitted the Erosion Control Plan permit application for the
Kell34Pit last week. The clock is running on the review. DENR has advised that a letter of consent will
be required from Barnhill which authorizes Mr. Williams to do the work, unless the property is conveyed
to Mr. Williams first. I assume that you are already aware of this.
I am working on the Bottomless Pit permit renewal now. i will have it ready by next weekend. The
Snake Pit will be last. I checked the property ownership, and Barnhill does own both ponds, so your
plan should work fine. If possible, can you have someone look at the existing sediment basin located
near the back right corner of the pit?
Since it has been so dry lately, now might be a good opportunity to effect any repairs that are needed
before the water in the lowgrounds gets back up and/or you get ready to restart mining activities.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Joey

The application for a mining permit for the above referenced
mine site has been found .to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51
of -The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the required
security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining

primarily upon information supplied in the application with
conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on March 15, 2006.
G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit does not
supersede local zoning regulations. The responsibility of
compliance with any applicable zoning regulations lies with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage and affected acreage
for this site are both 5.27 acres, as indicated in the
application and on the mine map dated December 18, 1995.
Please review the permit and notify this office at (919)

suspend the permit, or its intent to modify the Reclamation Plan as

i D avaUT,
Enclosed please find our bond in the amount of $4,200.00 for the above
referenced pit. I have reviewed the permit draft and everything seems
to be in order except for Item 9B, "Barbed Wire Fence". We feel the
erection of a barbed wire fence would be a waste of time and money since
the pit is located in such a rural area. We have built a berm around
the pit and have planted over 500 red cedar trees on the berm to prevent
public entrance from SR 1195.
Sincerely,

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above
project pursuant to Chapter 74, Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is
unlikely that any archaeological sites which may be eligible for inclusion in the
National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the proposed borrowing.
We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in
connection with this project.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions

Re: Bottomless Pit
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Pace:
Your application for a mining permit for the above
referenced mine site has been reviewed. Enclosed is a draft of
the mining permit proposed by the Department. The conditions in
the draft permit were based primarily upon information supplied
in your application with conditions added if necessary to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using
the information submitted on the mine map dated December 18, 1995
(see attached worksheet). The bond amount for this site is
$4,200.00. For your convenience, x have enclosed a bond form, an
assignment of a savings account form and an irrevocable standby
letter of credit form. The name on the security form must be the
--same-as the -name -appearing on -the- enclosed draft -permits In - -
addition to one of these alternatives you may, upon request,
substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the draft permit and the reclamation bond
worksheet and contact this office should you have any objection
or question concerning the permit conditions. G.S. 74-51
provides the operator 60 days following the mailing of
application approval notice in which to file the required surety.
The permit will be issued when the required security has
been received. No mining may be conducted until the permit is
issued. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit
does not supersede local zoning regulations. The responsibility
of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations lies with
you.

sediment control measures to ensure that they are sufficient to restrain
erosion and off -site sedimentation. However, any comments your agency can
provide regarding effects on wildlife and freshwater fisheries would be
greatly appreciated. If your staff wishes to perform a site inspection, it
is recommended that they contact the person submitting this request to set up
a convenient date and time. Also, please send a copy of your comments to the
