C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the sequence
to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
Establish and clearly indicate Mine Permit Boundary. Establish and mark the 50'
undisturbed buffer around the mine. Remove, clear, and push up berm around
the mine expansion blocks as new cuts are opened. Establish mine perimeter
berm, roadway and mine pit berm around newly opened cut. Stabilize berms
within 14 days of disturbance. Excavate sand down to an average of 25' +/- .
Once mineable material is removed, stabilize slopes and advance mine as
above. Final reclamation will be done at end of life of mine.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during mining to
prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine excavation(s),, waste
piles, access/mine roads, and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of installation and schedule for
maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion control measures on the mine map(s) and
provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required
to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
Prior to any new land disturbing activities, silt fence will be installed to prevent any soil for
leaving mine boundary areas. As excavation advances, sediment will be contained by the berm
around the open mine area and drain internally to the mine pit. Stock pile areas are inside
permitted mine boundary and will drain to the mine pit. The entrance road to the mine is rocked .
with washed stone from state road to stock pile area, similar to a gravel construction entrance,
but many times longer, preventing the tracking of sediment outside the mine site. If any
sediment is found to be on state road, the rock entrance road will be cleaned and re -rocked
with washed stone and any offsite sediment will be removed by motorized sweeper.
3. A) Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other wastewater handling?
FIYES a NO
If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
13) Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters
of the State?
YES f;7NO
if yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method of
stabilization) on the mine map(s). ti
Stormwater will be contained and allowed to settle in the mine excavation. This
stormwater will be decanted through existing drainage to a low area that drained
the mine property prior to the commencing of mining activities. There will be no
pumped discharge, the flow through the outlet will pass through two rock check
dams, a rip rap stabilized stream bed, existing double 30" corrugated plastic
pipe culverts with rip rap protected outlets to the existing drainage. The outlet of
the drainage is a, diffuse flow area, with no point discharge.

C) Will any part of the proposed mine excavations) extend below the water table?
YES � NO
If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)?
YES FX NO
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day:
If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Locate all existing wells on the mine
map(s) that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statement
made, including any monitoring well data, well construction data, and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate whether
the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
The mine is not configured to dewater. The mine is arranged to allow excess
stormwater to decant through an existing drainageway to the east. This
drainage is elevated to slightly above the receiving waterway. The area is
served by a municipal water system.
D) If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or obtained the
appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.) from the Stormwater Program. In
addition, the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of Water Resources, Ground Water
Management Branch, if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit
from the Division of Water Resources, Ground Water Management Branch, if the operation lies in a capacity use area
and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
The portions of the mine extending below the water table will be excavated wet,
and stacked in a stock pile to dry. No pumping of the groundwater is planned at
this point in the mine.
4. A) Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
YES �NO
If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the Division of Air Quality
or local governing body.
B) How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
The mine operates a towed 850 gallon water wagon that will be used to water
the roadways in the event of any dust being produced by traffic in the mine.

5. A) A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way. It may be an
unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms, and erosion & sedimentation control measures may be
installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two,
depending upon the site conditions. Note that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way at
this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended, although a wider buffer may be needed depending on site
conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine map(s).
A 50' undisturbed buffer is planned to encompass the mine boundary, excepting
the existing access road. The Mine excavation area is more than 350' from
NCSR #1121 (Oak Grove Rd) and more than 900' from the Trent River. Berms
around the excavation and fencing along the roadway will assist in buffering the
site from the public view.
B) A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land -disturbing activities within the mining
permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller undisturbed buffers can be justified.
Depending on site conditions, a buffer wider than 50 feet may be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the mining permit
boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
A 50' undisturbed buffer is planned inside the mine boundary around the
perimeter of the mine. Mine excavation is an additional 56 ft inside the buffer for
a total of 106 feet.
6. A) Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries during mining.
Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material .and minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or
flatter for sandy material are generally required unless technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
Slope stability will be addressed by excavating the mine pit without highwalls,
employing a 4:1 slope at the perimeter excavation, as the material is somewhat
sandy.
B) Provide a cross-section on the mine maps) for all fill slopes (berms, waste piles, overburden disposal areas, etc.),
clearly indicating the intended side slope gradient, installation of any benches and/or slope drains (with supporting
design information) if needed, and the method of final stabilization.
