th Carolina Mining Act of 1971 which impact the
of House Bill 56, which became law on October 4,
Led mining permits are to be issued for the life of site
od from the initial receipt of a permit for the operation
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 modificationto be effective. Please attach this letter to your existing mining 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 provil ions 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, St. 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 musf,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
$50lmonth late fee and could result in the denial of future permit aictions 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. It

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 permit.
The conditions of Mining
Permit No. 40-29 were based 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 June 2, 2027, G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance
of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any
zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any
agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 18.79 acres and the amount of
land you are approved to disturb is 19.75 acres.
Please review the permit and contact Judy Werner, Assistant State Mining Specialist,
at [phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.

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 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.
While we note that this project review is only for a state permit, the potential for federal permits may
require further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act.

Please find attached my comments for this new mine permit application. The mine appears to be all in high ground, and
far enough away from any wetlands or stream features. They do not propose to dewater. Based on all of that,.I don't
really have any negative comments concerning this project.

Dear Mr. Murphrey:
ROY COOPER

secremry
TRACY DAVIS
Director
Your application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been
reviewed but not yet approved. 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. Other necessary conditions may have been added to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971,
The reclamation bond calculation worksheet submitted with the application has been
verified. The bond amount for this site is $15,200,00. The bond is required before the permit
can be issued. For your convenience, I 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 permit, i.e.,
Murphrey Mines LLC. In addition to one of these alternatives you may, upon request,
substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and contact this office should you have any
objections or questions concerning the permit conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the
operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a notice of the required bond in which to
file the required surety.
The permit cannot be issued until 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 or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning
regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any agency or
department of the State of North Carolina.

• 0 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 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.

RE: Draft permit for Murphrey Mine
Thanks Gary. Can you look at Google Earth and let me know what you think? It seems the area was clear cut, and the
back corner of the Bright property (on the north side) backs up close to the property boundary. The photos show a
break in the wooded perimeter there, but I don't know what has since been planted or filled back in. I think we may
need a screening berm along the Northwest boundary of the permit, but please let me know if you disagree.

yep I saw the area; discussed it with Mr. Murphrey (he arrived on site at the time of the field review) and he told me he
knows everyone. He said he lives near the entrance of the haul mad. I didn't think the visual screen was needed there
because the existing tree cover is fairly dense, but if you think so, then he should provide the screen/berm.

Subject: Murphrey Mine: Greene County
Judy,
In response to your phone call yesterday I have talked to Mr. Murphrey and confirmed that the proposed mine
site does not have any graves on it. Near where there stock pile in shown on the map there is bench and stone
as a place sit and reflect on Mr. Murphrey's father. This area is not intended to be excavated, however, if that
plan changes and it is needed for excavation the "memorial" area will be moved to a location off of themine
site. The plan is to leave a portion of the haul road to access the areaof the "memorial" at lire time of
reclamation.
If you have more questions feel free to call me or Mr. Murphrey at 252-286-4727.
Thank you.

Please find attached a copy of the mining permit request for the above referenced project.
"rho Murphrey Mine located in Greene County does not appear to have an unduly adverse eflcct
on ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the mine
starts to withdraw 10,000 gpd to 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to register their water
withdrawals and if this mine starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd or more of water, they will need to
obtain a CCPCUA water withdrawal permit.
A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) water withdrawal permit must be
obtained ti,om 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.

Murphrey Mine App. comments
Judy,
I have not received any comments back from DAQ to date. Once I get them I will send them you way.
I have a couple of comments for the. Murphrey mine
1- Topo map title is incorrect should be revised to Murphrey Mines LLC and Murphrey Mine.
2- Field review indicated a family memorial within or very near the proposed permit area —should be shown on the
map to make sure it is protected.
3- NCG02 maybe required to show how stormwater will be contained along the haul road. Also noted dewatering
is not currently planned.
4- Permit boundary and undisturbed buffer should be required to be clearly marked in the southwestern corner of
the. proposed mining permit.
If you need anything for this site let me know,
Have a great weekend,
