Dear Barnhill Contracting Company:
ROY COOPER

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 mining ermit 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, SL 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].

Subject: RE: Whatchamacallit Pit
Judy,
In developing our mapping for this renewal, we did not have access to any CAD files (if there were any) that
were used to develop the previous permit. We utilized available GIS data for the boundary, topography and
ground cover. In doing so, we noted the area which had previously been cleared did not match the limits
shown on the previous mapping.
Please note from the original drawings the Permit Area begins on the western boundary of the property.
However, this area, as shown on our mapping, is lower in elevation and a portion of it is within the 100-year
flood plain. It appeared the cleared/excavated area had "shifted" to the east, within the property boundaries, to
stay out of these lower elevations and away from the 100-year floodplain site. We believed the mapping shown
on our permit renewal to be a more accurate representation of the actual conditions on this site.
Below is a table which summarizes the acreages in each category from what we understand was in the original
permit and what we are showing in this renewal. Note that we have added a couple of lines with regards to
haul roads to more clearly distinguish the areas.

Please note the areas shown under Renewal equal the total permit area of 19.2 acres whereas the areas
under the original permit do not. We could not determine from the original drawings where the balance of this
area would be. Also note the Mine Excavation area has been reduced to again reflect the actual field

conditions. Because of the topography along the western boundary the limits of the excavated area could not
be extended to the limits shown on the original drawings. Additionally, we inadvertently did NOT count the
area of the haul road between the Property Boundary and the Permit Boundary (on the property); this is now
accurately reflected in the table above to add the additional area of 0.31 acres of haul road.
We believe the areas shown here are more accurate and more representative of the actual field conditions on
this site. If you agree with this we will update the drawings to reflect the above numbers and resubmit to you.

No recent activity in the pit. One bare spot along a northern slope could be dressed up but the pit is in stable
condition. I cannot save and print the report, another computer thing I will have to get Larry's help with but I did notice
that Nick inspected the pit on 6/1/2017 so perhaps he has a report on his computer I can send you Monday if you need

DATE: August 10, 2017
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal for Barnhill Contracting Company — Whatchamacallit Pit —
Permit No. 09-12, 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 Whatchamacallit Pit. The total permitted area is 19.02 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. Reclamation includes leveling
and/or smoothing stockpiles or wastepiles. The perimeter berm soil will be spread along slopes for
vegetation establishment. Disturbed areas will be seeded and stabilized. Temporary sediment basins will
be removed. This site is located southwest of Berry Lewis Road, southwest of Bladenboro.
Aerial images and maps indicate Big Swamp flows west of the project 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.

Permit No. 09-12
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 I can be of further assistance, please
contact me at [phone] or abg riela.garrisonAncwildlife.org.

Ground Water Management Branch
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Renewal Request for:
Barnhill Contracting Company
Whatchamacallit Pit
Bladen County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
The Whatchamacallit 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 I 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].

• Install "Open Pit" warning signs around perimeter of berms.
• Maintain all stormwater runoff to flow into excavated areas.
• Excavation will begin in the southwest corner and will proceed from west to east in strips.
When excavation reaches the eastern setback line, the activity will resume on the west
side of a strip just north of the previous strip.
• Temporary stockpile and processing areas will be placed immediately adjacent to the
area currently being excavated. As the excavation progresses, the stockpile areas will
be relocated as necessary to be just outside the current excavation. At no time will any
stockpile or processing areas be outside the permitted area.
• After excavation is complete, temporary measures will be removed, side slopes graded per
reclamation plan, and site re -vegetated per the permanent seeding specifications.
Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific pleats for sediment and erosion control far mine
excavatiorr(s), +tsaste piles, access mime roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of

control measures on the rrtine map(s) and proi.4de lypical cross -sections construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
A haul road has been installed from SR 1128 (Berry Lewis Road) to the mine entrance using
asphalt millings. Stripped overburden will be pushed to the buffer line to create a +1- 5' berm
along the excavation. The berm also serves to divert sediment laden runoff into a sediment
basin and/or the excavation. At the end of mining activity, this soil is spread over cut slopes to
provide a medium for vegetation.
3. a. Will the opera.ti n involwashing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water

RE: Mining Permit No. 09-12
Whatchamacallit Pit
Bladen County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Waters:
Resources
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
Your application for renewal and modification of the above referenced mining permit
has been approved. The modification is to increase the buffers around the northern, western
and southern permit boundaries to 30 foot undisturbed and 30 foot unexcavated along the
eastern permit boundary. As a result the affected acreage at this site is reduced to 22.55
acres as indicated on the Mining and Reclamation Plan dated May 2007. A copy of the
renewed and modified permit is enclosed. The new expiration date is July 23, 2017.
The conditions in the renewed and modified permit were based primarily upon the initial
application. Modifications were made as indicated by the renewal and modification requests
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:
3A, 4D and 9.

In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, 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 expiration, 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

RE: Mining Permit Renewal and Transfer — Barnhill Contracting Co.
Bladen County Permit 09-12
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 "Whatchamacallit
Pit" (Permit 09-12) 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 Permit Boundary
o S-2: Mining and Reclamation Plan with profile.
o S-3: Wetlands, Vicinity, Tax, and Topoquad maps.
a DET-1: Site and Erosion Control Details
This mine is located along a private farm road approximately 3,900 feet off of NCSR
1128 — Berry Lewis Road. The site is currently a 19.02 acre partially -excavated site,
with the remainder being wooded with generally scrub oaks and pine. Barnhill
Contracting Co. has purchased the entire 40.0 acre tract owned by APAC-Crowell,
which includes the permitted area.
A 30-foot wide undisturbed woodland buffer will be maintained around the excavation
area, with the exception of the boundary contiguous with the existing private access
road. This road provides access to multiple landowners along its length. Barnhill
Contracting Co. has acquired a 60-foot wide right of way easement from their
northern boundary to the right of way of Berry Lewis Road. The entire easement has
been surfaced with loose asphalt millings, but will require occasional maintenance
and dust control, There is an existing gravel construction entrance at the intersection
of this easement and Berry Lewis Rd. The gravel construction entrance will be
upgraded with 2-3 inch diameter stone.

May 28, 2007
There is an existing locking gate located on this easement, as shown on sheet S-1.
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 and adjoining 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,

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

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

permit and by the Mining Act with reference to the permitted
operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided

permittee with reference to reclamation of the affected land and posts
a suitable bond or other security.

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,

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.

Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit
application request for the above referenced project.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this
operation having unduly adverse effect on wildlife and freshwater fisheries
(G. S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond by June 2, 1997 so that we may complete
our review of this request within our statutory time limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications, renewals
and modifications, this office will carefully review all proposed erosion and
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
person noted in the application. RETURN ALL APPLICATION MATERIALS AND MAPS
WITH YOUR REVIEW COMMENTS TO THIS QFFICE.
Your continued cooperation in the review of these type requests is
greatly appreciated. Please contact Mr. Tony Sample at [phone] if you
