RE: Mining Permit No. 36-12
Bessemer City Quarry
Gaston County
Dear John J Tiber!:
ROY COOPER
coirmo;
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Snorer
TRACY DAVIS
Director
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 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, 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
$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 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
Wishner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
4Z �- ,/

conduits shall be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions.
8. Blasting
The operator shall monitor each blast with a seismograph located at a distance
no farther than the closest off site regularly occupied structure not owned or
leased by the operator A seismographic record including peak particle velocity, air
overpressure, and vibration frequency levels shall be kept for each blast (except as
provided under Operating Condition Nos. 813 and 8D of this permit). The following
blasting conditions shall The observed by the mine operator to prevent hazard to persons
and adjacent property from surface blasting:
A. Ground Vibration iWith Monitoring:
In all blasting operations, the maximum peak particle velocity of any component
of ground motion 'shall not exceed Figure 1 (below) at the immediate location of
any regularly occupied building outside of the permitted area such as a dwelling
house, church, school, or public, commercial or institutional building.

(aovlce moCiRe�J !rom rgu!@ 8-l. Bu-sau cf .uine5 R:HSGT)
B. Ground Vibration Without Monitoring:
In the event of seismograph malfunction or other condition which prevents
monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas:
W = (D/Ds)2 Ds = D
W112
V = 160(Ds)-1 I
W = Maximum charge weight of explosives per delay period of 8.0 milliseconds
or more (pounds).
D = Distance from the blast site to the nearest inhabited building not owned or
leased by the mine operator (feet).

0.1 Hz or lower -flat response 134 peak
2.0 Hz or lower -flat response 133 peak
6.0 Hz or lower -flat response 129 peak
D. Air blast Without Monitoring:
In the event of seismograph malfunction or other condition which prevents
monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas:
To convert U (psi) to P (dBL):
U = 82 (D/W4.33)-9.2
P = 20 x log (Uf2.9x10-4)
Confined Air blast/Overpressure (dBL)
for quarry situation:
A=P-35
U = Unconfined air overpressure (pounds per square inch).
W = Maximum charge weight of explosives per delay period of 8.0 milliseconds
or more (pounds).
D = Distance from the blast site to the nearest inhabited building not owned or
leased by the mine operator (feet).
P = Unconfined air overpressure (decibels).
A = Air blast or�air overpressure for typical quarry situations (decibels).
The air blast/overpressure shall not exceed 129 decibels, for the purposes of this
Section.
E, Record Keeping:
The operator shall maintain records on each individual blast describing: the total
number of holes; pattern of holes and delay of intervals; depth and size of holes;
type and total pounds of explosives; maximum pounds per delay interval; amount
of stemming and burden for each hole; blast location; distance from blast to
closest offsite regularly occupied structure; and weather conditions at the time of
the blast. Records shall be maintained at the permittee's mine office and copies
shall be provided to the Department upon request.

Page 8
F. Excessive Ground Vibration/Air blast Reporting:
If ground vibration or Air blast limits are exceeded, the operator will immediately
report the event with causes and corrective actions to the Department. Use of
explosives at the blast site that produced the excessive reading shall cease until
corrective actions approved by the Department are taken. However, blasting
may occur in other approved areas within the permitted boundary. Authorization
to blast at the blast site may be granted at the time of the verbal reporting of the
high ground vibration or high air blast reading if the circumstances justify verbal
approval. Failure to report will constitute a permit violation.
G. Flyrock Prevention:
The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure that flyrock is not
thrown beyond areas where the access is temporarily or permanently guarded by
the operator. Failure to take corrective measures to prevent flyrock and
repeated instances of flyrock shall be considered a violation of the Mining Permit.
H. Flyrock Reporting
Should flyrock occur beyond the permitted and guarded areas, the operator shall
immediately report the incident to the Department. Further use of explosives on
the mine site shall be suspended until the following actions have been taken:

Based on my review at the permit renewal package and a site Inspection 9/10/2015 have I the following comments, 1)
on page 16 section G the mine name is Rocky River Quarry -I marked over it and wrote Bessemer City Quarry and Richard
Broughton initialed it, 2) the 5 acres deeded to the fire department is ok for release- it is outside the fence line -see
pictures and 3) mining and dewatering of the pit has not occurred for several years -the only active mining is sand
screening and sand selling -see inspection report.

DATE: I September 2015
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal and Modification for Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., Bessemer
City Quarry - Permit No. 36-12, Gaston County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
subject permit application.,Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act
of 1971 (as amended, 1982) (G.S. *46 through 74-69 15 NCAC 5).
The applicant is requesting a renewal and.modification of their permit for mining granite. The
total permitted area is 994.61 acres. The modification includes 114.76 acres within the previously
approved permitted boundary. The applicant indicates ail water discharges (stormwater runoff and
groundwater seepage) will be tested for pH, turbidity, total suspended solids and settleable solids to
ensure water quality standards are met. For all future developmem, a minimum 50-foot undisturbed
buffer will be maintained along jurisdictional waters unless approved by the Division. The reclamation
plan includes allowing the excavation to filllwith water, and grading, seeding and stabilizing disturbed
areas. Re -vegetation will be according to,tlte seeding schedule provided.
Unnamed tributaries to Long Creek in the Catawba River basin flows through the site, There are
records for the state significantly rare seagreen darter (Gtheosroma thalassinum) in Long Crack. The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service recently listed the Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionahs) as
threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The Northern long-eared bat may be present within or in
the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, the project may impact this species and consultation with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may be required. For more information, please we

Bessemer City Quarry
Permit No. 36-12
Should the permit be renewed and modified, we offer the following recommendations to
minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.
A minimum 100-foot undisturbed native, forested buffer should be maintained along perennial
streams, and a minimum 50-foot undisturbed native, forested buffer should be maintained along
intermittent streams and wetlands. Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas
will reduce impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources, water quality, and aquatic habitat
both within and downstream of the project area. In addition, these buffers will provide an
adequate travel corridor for wildlife species. We request that sediment and erosion control
structures be located outside of these buffers.
2. Water discharges from the site should be proportional to the size of the receiving stream so the
hydrology of the stream is not altered, and all discharges should comply with NPDES permit
requirements. In particular, turbidity of the discharge should be maintained at or below the
permit requirement. High water discharge rates and turbidity can negatively impact aquatic
resources within and downstream of the site. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have
numerous detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat,
suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills of aquatic species.
3. 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 take into account soil types,
moisture, pH, and degree of slope of areas to be stabilized. Additionally, for relatively shallow
sediment basin reclamation, we, recommend these areas be reclaimed as wetlands where
practicable. We refer the applicant to Danny Ray, District Wildlife Biologist at [phone]
for additional information and ideas on reclamation for wildlife.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit application. If we can be of further
assistance, please contact our office at [phone] or shari.bryant ncwildlife.orQ.

Please accept this letter as a written request to renew mine permit No. 36-12 for Martin Marietta
Materials Inc. — Bessemer City Quarry. The current permit will expire September 19, 2015.
Bessemer City Quarry is an active mine site located on Beam Lane in Bessemer City, Gaston
County. We have revised the Mine _Maps, and increased the affected acreage to reflect minor changes in
�Athe_operation; to make the affected areas -easier to-identify'on-the�'map,-and:becaOse;our=mapping has:,
improved'
._
In 2002 we modified Mining Permit to allow for the mining of sand in Tailings Pond "E".
That activity proposed the removal of the implundment structure along with the sand in the pond. That
activity never took place. We have since decided that if we do remove limited volumes of sand from the
ponds on the east side of Beam Lane in the future, we will keep the impoundment structures intact to
provide for sediment control. Consequently we have removedlRock Dam #1 from the mine map as it will
not be needed.
z
Martin Marietta recently deeded 5:23 acres to the Tryonota Volunteer Fire Department for use in
constructing a future facility. This parcel of property is located on the west side of the mine site along
Tryon School Road. The parcel has never been affected by the mine. We are consequently requesting that
this 5.23 acre parcel be removed from the mine permit. The area is shaded in violet on the mine map.

C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Describe in detail the sequence ofevents For the development and operation of the mine and reference the
sequence to the urine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
Presently, waste material form the former'FMC (Hallman -Beam) operation is being processed at the
Bessemer City plant At this tine, active brining is not taking place inside the FMC pit. For typical
►nining operations, overburden material and sap rack is present at depths up to thirty feat (30) above the
hard rock. Once this overburden and sap rock is removed, the rock is drilled and blasted to produce a
product that can be transported to the plant for processing. Front there, the raw material is crushed acid
screened to produce desired products. A chronological sequence of land disturbing activities is provided
on the Mitre Map, specifically as it relates to sedintent and erosion control. Maintenance and
stabilization eff its will be conducted as n►rted and as required in the mining act.
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(.), 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) anil provide typical cross-sectionslcoiistritction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed in accordance with the Mine Map and the
attached construction details. These measItires will be installed prior to disturbing the area they are
designed to protect. The construction sequence indicates the steps that will betaken to maintain all of'the
sedintent and erosion control measures. Temporary diversions are provided to direct all surface runoff
through the sediment basins. Design calculations are provided on the Mine Map to support the
dimensions and construction of the proposed sediment basins. The ntajority of runoff from the property
will be tit aintained internally, either from the pit or the existing sediment basins. Any proposed changes
that are not included on the Mine Map will be submitted to the Division of Land Resources for approval.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ® No ❑. if yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
Process wash water front material washing is treated through a closed loop system within the existing
settling cells. No chemicals are added to this) water to promote settllnl; efficiency. The system operates as a
closed circuit with no discharge of process fvater off -site. The system is further described in the General
AIPDES permit issued to the ►nining industry and .specifically, NPDES Permit #NCG020135 for this
. facility. A copy of the NPDES permit is available upon request.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as a point discharge to
the waters of the State? Yes ® No ❑ � If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate
all proposed discharge points (along With] their method of stabilization) on your mine map(s).
Currently mine dewatering is not taking place. Once normal mining operations resume in the pit, water
discharged as a result of mine dewatering 1will be comprised of storm water runoff and groundwater
seepage. Such water will gravity flow to the pit sump for clarification prior to its discharge. Water
collected in the pit will he used to replenish the closed -loop systent or replenish the existing fresh water
pond on the property. Any accumulated water that is not needed, will he discharged through the
approved outfall location, specifically Outfal1001 shown on the Mine Map. Outfall 001 discharges into a
UT of Long Creek. Discharge water from this outfall will be tested for pH, Turbidity, TSS and Settleable
Solids, in accordance with the requirements of General NPDES Permit requirentents to ensure that water
quality standards are met.

500 feet of the proposed excavation area! Provide data to support any conclusions or statements 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.
There are no wells located within 500' feet #'the proposed future pit limit. The close proximity of the
rock to the surface of the ground and the loin level ofperineability of'the rock in the quarry area indicate
that the quarry development will have no detrimental impact on any well in the area. Past records
indicate approximately 0.50 MGD are discharged at the time of discharge sampling.
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, Stonnwater, etc.) from the
Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required to register water `
use with. the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day
and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if the operation lies in a capacity
use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
The .system is described in the General NPDES permit issued to the mining industry and specifically,
NPDES Permit #NCG020135.for this .facility. A copy of the permit application.for a General NPDES
Permit is available upon request. This permit authorizes the discharge of storm water, process water and
mine dewatering to the surface waters of'North Carolina.

Re: Request to Change the Name on Existing Mining Permits
Dear Mr. Davis:
Thanks for taking the time to meet with Yvonne and me on Monday, May 6, 2013 to discuss the legal
ownership name and reclamation] blanket bond for all of the North Carolina mining permits that have been
issued to Martin Marietta. As we discussed, the company name that has been listed on our mining permit
applications in the space for "Name of Applicant' for many years has been Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.,
though the mining Pamirs have been issued under the name of Martin Marietta Aggregates which is an
operating division of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., but not a separate legal entity or subsidiary. In review
of the permits issued for Marlin Marictta's quarries, we have determined that all of the previous mining
permit renewal applications and Ote most recent mining permit modification submittals have been requested
using the corporate legal name of Martin Mariana Materials, Inc., along with all of the associated Land
Entry Agreements that are currently on file with your Department. Therefore, it is our understanding that the
documents currently on file with your office are cormcl, and it is not necessary to submit additional
documentation.
The attached Surety Rider reflects a correction to the name of the Principal of the existing Reclamation
Blanket Bond from "Mm9in Marietta Aggregates, a Division of Martin Mariana Mareriats, Inc., a
Subsidiary of Martin Marietta Corporation" to "Martin Marietta Materials, Inc." It is our desire that all
existing and future mining permits that arc issued by your Department to Martin Marietta be listed
with the legal corporate name of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. Attached is a list of the permits which
are affected by this request. A check for $5600 is attached to cover the $100 processing fee for each
permitted quarry.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at [phone] or
e-mail me at briar.noilli(Mmariinnlarietta.com.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Brenda M. Hams, Mining Program Secretary
Land Quality Section 6 00,d
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator 1
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 27, 2005
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Request, Martin Marietta Aggregatis-
36-12, Gaston County
I
Commission
LZ
City Quarry, Permit No.
This correspondence responds to your request for our review of the referenced mine permit modification.
These comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as
amended, 1982; G.S. 74-46 through 74-68; 15 NCAC 5) and the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S.
113-131 et seq.). I I
The permittee is requesting to renew an existing permit for the olA Hellman -Beam property (permit 36-
01). The existing quarry consists of 80 acres and no mining is expected during the next ten year renewal
period. Martin Marietta is requesting that the Hallman -Beam mining permit be rescinded and the
associated 819.4 acres be added to the Bessemer City permit (permit 36-12). The combined quarry
acreage will be 901.4 acres. No jurisdictional waters are indicated)Standard mine revegetation practices
are indicated.
Based on our review of the mine modification submittal, we will not object to the proposed modification
providing the following conditions are included in the permit: I i
I. During any new land clearing activities, woody debris (flash or large trees) removed during
development of the site should be placed along the outer sto&pile/compost area construction limits
in the form of brush piles and downed logs to provide cover and nesting habitat for wildlife.
2. Should any stream relocation activities become necessary,'relocations should use state-of-the-art
bioengineering techniques. Clean Water Act 404 permits aid 401 certifications must be obtained
from the US Army Corps of Engineers and the NC Divisionlof Water Quality prim to any channel
relocation. Native riparian plants should be incorporated into stream relocation. Fifty (50) foot
undisturbed natural buffers should be established for intermittent channels and one hundred (100)
foot undisturbed natural buffers should be established for perennial streams.

i
Martin Marietta, #36-12 0 2 C May 27, 2005
3. Any stream crossings necessary should provide for aquatic life passage. Bridges are preferred over
culverts and pipes. Culverts 48 inches diameter or larger should be buried a foot into the
streambed. Culverts less than 48 inches diameter should lie buried to a depth equal to or greater
than 20% their size to allow for aquatic life passage. These measurements must be based on
natural thalweg depths.
4. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained until
project completion. As appropriate to protect listed species, sediment and erosion control
measures may need to meet design standards for sensitive watersheds (I5A NCAC 413 .0024).
i
5. Native plants are preferred for revegetation and reclamation activities. Please see the attached
plant recommendations.
6. Prior to and during mine reclamation, Martin Marietta Aggregates will coordinate site activities
with North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission fish andiwildlife biologists.
1.!
We recommend that the mine operation consult with a professional North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission biologist to further discuss mine planting schedules land reclamation activities. Wildlife
biologist, Ken Knight can be reached at 704/982-1600. Additional planting suggestions and plant supply
sources may be obtained from Stewardship biologist, Elizabeth Hughes at 829/651-8380. Any channel
relocations and riparian plantings should be planned and constructed by a company having professional
bioengineering stream restoration training and experience within thestate of North Carolina.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Piedmont Stormwater Pond and Mine Plantikng Recommendations
Instead of using the typical fescue grasses or exotic plant species, Ithe following mixtures should be
considered for lower elevation stormwater ponds and mine sites:
Spring/Summer Mixture, May 1 - Sept. 15
FalllWinter Mi:
Browntop millet 20 lbs/a
Winter Wheat
Kobe lespedeza 20 Ibs/a
Kobe lespedeza
Shrub lespedeza I Ib/a
Shrub lespedeza
Switchgrass* 5lb/a
Switchgrass'*
Sept. 15 - April 30
120 Ibs/a
20 lbs/a
1 Ib/a
5 Ib/ac
Add to fall or spring plantings: `Tioga' Deertongue (Panicum clandestinum) at a rate of 7 lbs. Pure Live
Seeds (PLS) per acre.
* When possible on slopes less than 3:1 use Switchgrass instead of lespedezas and on slopes greater than 3:1 use
Orchard Grass or Creeping Red Fescue. Other native species may be appropriate depending on soil, slope, and
region. Korean lespedeza may be appropriate in colder geophysical areas. lWe do not recommend Sericea
lespedeza. Native plants and warm season grasses are preferred over exoticFplants.
I
Add one of the following to the above mixture:
Creeping Red Fescue 5 Ibs/acre
i
Ladino Clover** 5 lbs/acre
Atlantic Coastal Panic Grass . 5 lbs/acre (PLS)
Alfalfa** 5 lbs/acre (requires fertilizer containing Boron)
4�
** Lime & fertilize disturbed areas according to NRCS soil test results and follow planting guidelines as appropriate
and necessary. Depending on elevation and region, other native species ma#e appropriate. Note that mowing
should be limited to late winter or early spring. Mowing should only occur as needed to prevent unwanted tree
growth on a 2-3 year schedule. 1
I
The provision of shade around impounded waters can significantly reduce thermal impacts. Trees and
shrubs (1 year bare root seedlings) should be planted randomly.at a minimal rate of 100 trees per acre on
the top and upper portions of the structure and at a minimal rate of 150' per acre around the normal water
elevation and littoral shelf area. The following list of tree species may assist in providing habitat benefits:
I
Loblolly Pine* Red Cedar Black Gum American Holly y Dogwood
Hickory Sumac White Oak Willow Oak Red Maple*"
Viburnum Green Ash Ironwood Black Cherry Persimmon
Water Oak Spice Bush Willow (sp) Serviceberry i Red Oak
Swamp Chestnut Silky Dogwood 4
Other species may be utilized depending on site requirements and native plant availability. Pines* should not
ekeeed 15% of the reforestation. No more than 20% of the tree species will be Hof a single species. An 80% success
rate is acceptable over five years. Large or fast growing trees like Sycamore and Maple** may not be appropriate
near detention facility dams. Note: Non-native plants included in this list are 'routinely considered beneficial and/or
agriculturally established non -natives. They have been included as they are readily available commercially and they
do not exhibit many of the negative attributes of other non -natives that tend to'spread or inhibit native plant
propagation and survival. �I

RE: Mining Permit Renewal Request for Bessemer City Quarry
Mining Permit 436-12
Dear Ms. Wehner.
This letter is to officially request mining permit renewal for Martin Marietta's Bessemer City
Quarry. As you know, this quarry was in operation long before Martin Marietta purchased the
Hallman -Beam quarry (ID # 36-01) from FMC Corporation in 1998. Since that time, no active
mining has taken place within the pit area on the Hallman -Beam property. The processing plant
and most of the buildings that FMC used to operate have now been removed. The existing
"waste berm", located on the Southwest side of the FMC property is currently being "mined" and
processed at our Bessemer City Quarry consisting of 80 acres, located adjacent to the Hallman -
Beam property. No further pit mining is expected during the next 10-year renewal period.
In this renewal process, I am requesting to combine the two permitted facilities into one mining
permit. I have combined the acreages from both operations and have revised the Hallman -Beam
Mine map to include the Bessemer City property. I am requesting that the Hallman -Beam mining
permit be rescinded and the associated 819.4 acres be added to the Bessemer City mining permit
36-12. This addition of acreage would bring the Bessemer City Quarry to a total of 901.4 acres.
I have included a copy of the existing air permit, NPDES permit, and our SPCC plan along with
the complete mining permit application. I have also included a $1000.00 review fee for this
permit renewal. This information should meet with your approval. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me at [phone] or e-mail me at [e-mail]

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.
Presently, waste material form the former FMC (Hallman -Beam) operation is being processed at the Bessemer
City plant. At this time, active miningis not takingplace inside the FMCpit. Overburden material and .sap rock
is present at depths up to thirty feet (30) above the hard rock. Once this overburden and sap rock is removed, the
rock is drilled and blasted to produce a product that can be transported to the plant forpracessing. From there,
the raw material is crushed and screened to produce desired products. A chronological sequence of land
disturbing activities is provided on the Mine Map, specifically as it relates to sediment and erosion control.
Maintenance and stabilization efforts will be conducted as noted and as required in the mining act.
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(a), 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 shall be required when needed to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
Sediment and erosion control measures will be installed in accordance with the Mine Map and the attached
construction details. These measures will be installed prior to disturbing the area they are designed to protect.
The construction sequence indicates the steps that will be taken to maintain all of the sediment and erosion
control measures. Temporary diversions are provided to direct all surface runoff through the sediment basins.
Design calculations are provided on the Mine Map to support the dimensions and construction of the proposed
sediment basins. The majority oftunofffrom tltepropenywill be maintained internally, eitherfrom tbepitorthe
existing sediment basins. Anyproposed changes that are not included on the Mine Map will be submitted to the
Division of Land Resources for approval.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes X No If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any
chemicals to be used.
Process wash water from material washing is treated through a closed loop system within the existing
settling cells. No chemicals are added to this water to promote settling efficiency. The system opetates as
a closed circuit with no discharge ofptaocess water off site. The system is further described in the General
NPDES permit issued to the mining industry and specifically, NPDES Permit #NCG020135 for this
facility. A copy of the NPDES permit is provided with this renewal request.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as a point
discharge to the waters of the State? Yes X No . If yes, briefly describe the
nature of the discharge and locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method of
stabilization) on your mine map(s).
Water discharged as a result of mine dewaterrng is comprised of storm water runoff and groundwater
seepage. Such water will gravity flow to the pit sump for clarification prior to its discharge. Water
collected in the pit will be used to replenish the closed -loop system or replenish the existing fresh water
pond on the property. Any accumulated water that is not needed, will be discharged through the approved
outfalllocation, specifically Outfa11001 shown on the Mine Map. Outfall0101 discharges into a LIT ofLmW
Creek. Discharge water from this outfall will be tested for pH, Turbidity and Settleable Solids, in
accordance with the requirements of Genetal NPDES Permit requirements to ensure that water quality
standards are met.

Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table?
Yes X No . If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes X
No . If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 0.50MGD
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 statements 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.
There are no wells located within 500'feet of the proposed future pitlimit. The closeproxnnity
of the rock to the surface of the ground and the low level ofpermeabillty of the rock in the
quarry area indicate that the quarry development will have no detrimental impact on any weUYn
the area. Past records indicate approximately 0.50 MGD are discharged at the time of
discharge sampling.
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 Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required to register
water use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than 100,000
gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if the
operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
The system is described in the General NPDES permit issued to the mining industry and
specifically, NPDES Permit #NCG020135for this facility. A copy of the permit application for
a General NPDES Permit is attached with this application. This permit authorizes the
discharge ofstormwater, process water and mine dewatering to the surface waters ofNorth
Carolina.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
Yes X 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.
A copy of the air permit #05416R10 issued for this facility is attached with this application.
b_ How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
Fugitive dust from the processingplant, stockpiles, etc, will be controlled through the use ofa
wet suppression system within the operatingpant. A large water ttuck will be used to control
the dust on the haul toads, pit area and within the stockpile area. A large portion ofthe annual
production consists of washed stone, which generates little dust, ifany.

S. 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).
An existing fifty foot (50) undisturbed buffer is provided between the quarry activity and any
adjoiningproperties as shown on the Mine Map. Along with these natural buffers, overburden
berms are provided to visually shield the opera don from the adjoining n4bbors located east of
the property.
b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed butler 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 disturbin& 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(v).
For all future development, a fifty -foot (50) unexcavated buffet will be maintained between any
land disturbing activities and any jurisdictional waters unless approved by the Division.
5. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries
during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to I vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and minimum
3 horizontal to t vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required, unless technical
justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
To assure slope stability adjacent to adjoining properties during mining, slope and excavation
con£rguratrons will take into account structural geology, rock mechanics, and mining
engineering considerations. Final excavation grades for all unconsolidated overburden
material will be on a 3:1 minimum slope around the outer quarry perimeter from naturalground
to the top of bedrock. Further, a minimum ten -foot (109 wide safety bent will be provided at
the base of any cut slope and the top of bedrock in this same area.

such areas are anticipated to be above the final water elevation. A minimum ten -foot (10) wide
safety bench will be provided at the base ofany cut slope around the quarry perimeter where
such areas are anticipated to be above the final water elevation.
d. In hardrock excavations, specify proposed bench widths and heights in feet. Provide cross -sections
of the mine excavation clearly rioting the angles of the cut slopes, widths of all safety benches and
mine benches, and the expected maximum depth of the excavation.
A typical pit cross-section is provided on the Mine Map. The first bench is largely controlled
by the existing topography. Lower benches will be consistent of the typical 40'verticalheights
and 10' horizontal bench widths between each level.
7. Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling
house, public road, public, commercial or industrial building from any mine excavation. Locate all such
structures on the mine map if they are within 300 feet of any proposed excavation.
All structures within the vicinity ofthe existing mine excavation areindicated on the Mine Map. With
the exception ofanyproposed on -sate support facilities, the closet neighboring occupied structure is
located eight hundred feet (800) from the future pit excavation. Blasting activities will be designed

Existing trees, terrain, and visual berms wig effectively screen the majority of our operation
from public view. Trees and vegetation will be planted as needed to promote future long-term
screening and soil stability.
b. Could the operation have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of publicly owned park,
forest or recreation area? If so, how will such effects (i.e., noise, visibility, etc.) be mitigated?
None known to be present
H . Will explosives be used? Yes X No . If yes, specify the types of explosive(s) and
describe what precaution(s) will be used to prevent physical hazard to persons or neighboring
property from flying rocks or excessive air blasts or ground vibrations. Depending on the mine's
location to nearby structures, more detailed technical information may be required on the blasting
program (such as a third -party blasting study). Locate the nearest offsite occupied structure(s) to the
proposed excavation(s) on the mine map and indicate its approximate distance to the proposed
excavation.
ANFO (ammonium nitrate and fuel oil) and water -based emulsions are the primary blasting
agents used Blasting will be conducted under the direction of experienced and qualified
personnel. Blasts will be monitored at all times by seismograph to ensure that vibration and air
blast levels are within the guidelines set by the State. Shot patterns will be designed to
consider the geological environment (i.e., faults, fractures, and lithology). Maximize material
breakage, and preven t any physical hazards to persons orneighboring property. Blast designs
will also be based upon the distance to the nearest dwellingfrom the blast site and ht weight of
explosives per blast interval (pounds detonated per eight (8) millisecond delay), which will
consistently yield predictable blast vibration levels well within all regulatory limits at subject
structures. Records ofeach blast will be maintained, and will include pertinent data such as the
number of holes, pattern, delay intervals, depth and size of holes, type and total pounds of
explosives, maximum pounds per delay interval, amount of stemming and burden for each
hole, and blast location. Blast and seismograph records will bekeptin a NCDENR approved
blastingguidelines format.
12. Will fuel tanks, solvents, or other chemical reagents be stored on -site? Yes X No.
If yes, describe these materials, how they will be stored and method of containment in case of spill.
Indicate the location(s) of all storage facilities on the mine map(s).
Fuel oil, waste oil andgasoline will be stored -in aboveground tanks located within adequately sized
containment structure(s). A Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCCPlan) has
been prepared for the facff y, which details the procedures to be followed in the event ofa spill. A
copy of that plan is provided with this renewal application.

D. RECLAMATION PLAN
Describe your intended plan for the final reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the
sequence and general methods to be used in reclaiming this land. This must include the method of
reclamation of settling ponds and/or sediment control basins and the method of restoration or establishment
of any permanent drainage channels to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution. This
information must be illustrated on a reclamation map and must correspond directly with the information
provided on the mine map(s). In addition, design information, including typical cross -sections, of any
permanent channels to be constructed as part of the reclamation plan and the location(s) of all permanent
channels must be indicated on the reclamation map.
Reclamation ofdisturbed areas will be an ongomgpart of the operatxngplan. Disturbed areas wiffbe
graded and revegetated in accordance wit the seeding schedule as provided
At such time as the decision is made to terminate operations at this site, all remaining disturbed areas
will be graded and seeded/.stabilized. The excavation will be allowed to fill with water providing a
large lake for water storage, supply, recreation, or other use to be determined by the landowner.
2. Is an excavated or impounded body of water to be left as a part of the reclamation? Yes X No.
If yes, illustrate the location of the body(s) of water on the reclamation map and provide a scaled
cross-section(s) through the proposed body(s) of water. The minimum water depth must be at least 4 feet,
measured from the normal low water table elevation, unless information is provided to indicate that a more
shallow water body will be productive and beneficial at this site. Will the body(s) of water be stocked with
fish? Yes No X . If yes, specify species.
The pit and supply lake will remain as permanent water impoundment use. The average depth of
water in the pit will be determined by the ultimate depth of the pit at the time operations are
terminated, but in no case will be less than a six foot (6) minimum depth. The stocking feasibility
with fsh will be left to the discretion of thehridowner and the future plans once mininghas stopped
3. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all completed excavations in rock
including what kind of permanent barricade will be left. Acceptable permanent barricades are appropriate
fencing, large boulders placed end -to -end, etc. Construction details and locations of all permanent
barricades must be shown on the reclamation map.
A minimum ten -foot (109 wide safety bench wX remain along the top bench around the entire pit. A
perimeter fence will be placed around all excavations upon completion ofthe mining operation unless
alternate plans for the property are pre -approved through the Division ofLand Resources.

4. Indicate the method(s) of reclamation of overburden, refuse, spoil banks or other such on -site mine waste
areas, including specifications for benching and sloping. Final cross -sections and locations for smith areas
must be provided on the reclamation map.
Overburden wiU be utilized to grad%onstmet internal haul roads and as fill material for perimeter
screening berms. All fr9 slopes will be stabilized/seeded once complete.
Overburden, refuse, spoil banks, or othermine waste areas existingatfnalreclamation willbegraded
and compacted to slopes of2:1 or flatter and will be vegetated in accordance with the attached seeding
schedule. All areas will be graded to prevent pooling and stagnation of water and to control
stormwater run off.
5. a. Describe reclamation of processing facilities, stockpile areas, and on -site roadways.
All processing facilities will be dismantled. Salvageable equipment will be hauled off=site for
use at other Martin Marietta operations. Equipment that cannot be reused will be
disposed/recycled in accordance with alllocal, State, and Federal regulations. Stockpiles will
be removed, and the affected area graded to conform with surrounding topography. These
areas will then be scarified andrevegetated. Haulroads androadways not necessary for future
development will also be scarified and revegetated.
b. Will any on -site roadways be left as part of the reclamation? Yes X No . If yes,
identify such roadways on the reclamation map and provide details on permanent ditch line
stabilization.
The main haul road and service roads will remain for vehicular access to the lake formed by the
pit. These roads shall be stabilized while the quarry is active. Other roads to remain will be
determined by the future use of the site after operations have ceased.
6. Describe the method of control of contaminants and disposal of scrap metal, junk machinery, cables, or other

MEMORANDUM
TO: Susan Edwards, Mining Program SecretaryECTi0,,

FROM: Jack Mason, Wildlife District BiologistO'a'�``1
Division of Wildlife Management, Wildlife Resources Commission
DATE: May 19, 1995
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal Request for Martin Marietta Aggregates
Bessemer City Quarry - Permit No. 36-12
Gaston County.
As a wildlife district biologist for the Wildlife Resources Commission, I
have reviewed the subject permit application and I am familiar with the
.habitat values of the project area. A site investigation was conducted on
May 10, 1995 for the purpose of assessing project impacts on wildlife and
fisheries resources. Mr. Charles Hutchins assisted with site inspection.
These comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the
Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982: G.S. 74-46 through 74.-68; 15 NCAC
5) and the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
Presently the applicant processes granite for crushed stone at an upland
site off Tryon School Road near Bessemer City in Gaston County. The
renewal application proposes to continue processing of granite stone. The
current mining operation site has a low to moderate wildlife habitat
value. There should be minimal change in existing sediment ponds, basins,
and storage areas. The majority of the area adjacent to the operation
site is mixed upland forest and has a moderate wildlife habitat value.
There is no fisheries habitat within the proposed expansion area. I am
aware of no endangered species at the site.

a
0
Based on the information provided in the permit application and results of
my investigation, I recommend approval of the project subject to following
modifications or conditions:
1) Revegetation plans should include VA-70 shrub lespedeza or Korean
lespedeza in areas where erosion is not expected to be critical. These
species provide greater wildlife habitat value than commonly used fescue
and sericea lespedeza. They should be sown in February -March at the rate
of 15-20 pounds per acre.
2) Maintain present buffer zones along drainage and wet areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If
you have questions regarding these comments please contact me at (704)
396-5363.

Re: Mining Permit Renewal Request for Martin Marietta Aggregates
Bessemer City Quarry - Permit.No. 36-12
Gaston County
Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit
application 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 May 20, 1995 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 OFFICE.
Your continued cooperation in the review of these type requests is
greatly appreciated. Please contact Mr. Tony Sample at [phone] if you
have any questions.

SUBJECT: Application for mining permit modification by Martin
Marietta Aggregates for Bessemer City Quarry, Gaston
County„ Mining Permit No, 36-12.
Staff field biologists of the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the mining permit
modification application submitted by Martin Marietta Aggregates
for the Bessemer City Quarry in Gaston County and are familiar
with the project site. These comments are provided in accordance
with certain provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended,
1982; G.S. 74-46 through 74-68; 15 NCAC 5) and the North Carolina
General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The applicant proposes to add two new closed loop settling
cells and a freshwater cell. Erosion control measures include
diversion ditches, sediment basins, and revegetation.
The NCWRC does not object to this permit modification, which
should have minimal impacts on fish and wildlife resources of the
project area. Thank you for the opportunity to review and
comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding
these comments, please contact me at 704/652-4257.

Date: October 7, 1993
Sequence of Construction
1. Obtain proper approval from Land Quality and the NPDES Permits and Engineering unit for
the water system addition.
2. Locate and flag clearing limits as shown.
3. Install silir fence. Clear and grub within limits.
4. Install sediment basins and diversion ditches according to the submitted plans.
5. Construct settling cells and fresh water cell according to the details shown_
6. Stabilize and seed all bare earth according to the seed schedule.
NOTES:
1. Inspection and maintenance of the sediment basins and diversion ditches shall take place
monthly or after each rainfall event. At such times, all damages shall be repaired immediately.
Accumulated sediments and debris shall be removed, and any necessary stone replacements
shall be made at these times. Structure shall be reshaped to maintain design volumes.
2. Sediment basin and diversion ditch locations shall be adjusted in the field to conform to actual
contours.
3. Any excess material excavated during this project will be hauled off site by local contractors
for use as fill material.
4. This settling cell and freshwater cell drawing package is not intended to be final construction
plans. Certification is on the basis of concept only.
5. Diversion Ditches will be seeded; however, these ditches were not lined because they will
need to be maintained when the settling cells are dipped and the dippings may collect in the
ditches.

to add approximately 35 acres of buffer zone as
indicated on the mine map received by the Department on
March 3, 1993 has been approved. A copy of the
modified permit is enclosed.
The conditions in the modified permit were based
primarily upon the initial application. Modifications
were made as indicated by the modification request and
as required to insure compliance with The Mining Act of
1971. The expiration date, mine name and permit
number shall remain the same as before the
modification. I would like to draw your particular
attention to operating Condition No. 4-C. of the
modified permit.
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 lies with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site
is 82.2 acres and the amount of land you are allowed to
disturb at any one time is 22.0 acres.

Re: Bessemer City Quarry Modification Request
Mining Permit No. 36-12
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Tate:
The initial review has been completed on the modification
request for the mining permit for the Bessemer City Quarry in
Gaston County. The following additional information is needed to
complete our review:
1) Please clearly indicate on the mine map the area to be
affected by stockpiles in the area to be added to this
permit. The "worst case" situation must be indicated on
the mine map. For example, if you want to have 20 acres
available for stockpile area, the map must reflect this
and the sediment and erosion control measures must be
designed to handle 20 acres of disturbed area.
Furthermore, your letter indicated 45 acres are to be
added, but the mine map indicated only 35 acres.
2) Design for the rock dam is needed indicating the total
drainage area to the dam, the disturbed area, the
sediment storage capacity upstream from the dam and the
spillway design. The dam must meet the design criteria
for sediment and erosion control measures (i.e., 1800
cubic feet of sediment storage per disturbed acre and
spillway capacity of the 25 year design storm event).
3) During our review, comments were solicited from the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. A copy of their
comments is attached. Please address their concerns
regarding the seeding specifications and the 50 foot
buffer on either side of the natural spring on site.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT OUR REVIEW CANNOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL
ALL OF THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE HAVE BEEN FULLY ADDRESSED.

DATE: November 6, 1992
SUBJECT: Mining permit Modification Request by Martin Marietta Aggregates
for Bessemer City Quarry, Gaston County (permit No. 36-123
As a district bic4ogis't for the Wildlife Resourcea. Commission, I have
reviewed the sahjoct permit application and I am familiar with the
habitat values of the project area. An onsite investigation was
conducted on October 26, 1992 for the purpose of further assessing
project impacts on wildlife and fisheries resources. Mr. Dexter- Tate was
contacted to discuss the project. These comments are provided in
accordance with certain provisionm of the of the Mining Act of 1971 { as
ammended, 19B2: G.S. 74-46 through 74-681 15 NCAC 5) and the North
Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 at seq.).
The applicant is requesting a permit modification by using approximately
45 acres of primarx1v upland as a stockpile area. The site is located
near Beasemer• City and has a moderately high wildlife habitat value.
Approoiimaf.ely sixty percent of the area is an abandoned field consisting
of mixed grasses and native vegetation. Mixed hardwoods (15-'30 year age
Class) comprise the remainder of the site. A small spring and drainage
area is, within the project. The existing habitat diversity provides for
numerous wildlife species.. Major wildlife which can inhabit the proposed
project area include raccoon, squirrel, rabbit, quail, dove, for. and
numerous norsgama birds, raptora, mammals, amphibians and reptiles_ There
is no fisheries habitat within the project area. We are aware of no
endangered species at the site.

Based upon the inforrmation provided in the permit rmodi'ficatic.n, and
resultss of my cns.ite investigation, I recommend approval of the project
subject't, to following modifications or conditions:
I A SO foot buffer rcmre should be left undisturbed along each side
of the spring and drainage area_
2) Erosion control measuresshould be maintained throughout the life
of the project.
3) Final reclamotionfrevegetation plans Should include VA-70"shrub
les.pedexii and liarein lespede.-a in areaswhere erosion is not expected to
be severe. These species.. provide greater wildlife habitat value than
commonly aimed fescue and sericea lespedese They should be sown in
February -March at the rate of 15-20 poundsper acre. Any reforestation
should include establishment of some mast producing hardwoods such as oak
and hickory. Agency biolo.gis.t would be willing to provide technical
advice at the appropriate time.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this application`,.
If you need to discuss these comments or need additional information,
please contact Sack Meson at f704) 336-S363.

A review has been made of the submitted mine map or plan by this
office and we offer the following comments:
1. It is unclear if the forty-five acres is currently under the
permitted lands.
2. The plan does not indicate the amount of land disturbance
associated with the proposed stockpile area. Since no proposed
contours are shown, it is not clear how large or small the
disturbed areas will be.
3. The design calculations for the rock check dam were not
included in the submittal.

Dear Mr. Cook: SAND QUALITY SE(,TrC),j
In recent years Martin Marietta has purchased approximately forty-five
acres adjoining our Bessemer City location. This property consist of woods and
crop land which has grown up in vegetation.
At this time, we are planning to use the property for a stockpile area.
This will be done on a as needed bases, therefore the amount of disturbed area
will be kept to a minimum. We will install a rock check dam, as noted in the
plan, as our erosion control practice. Keep in mind this area will be disturbed
a little at a time.
Also, we have some small ponds which are located below this rock check dam
which act as basin. I am including two copies of the updated mine map and a
check in the amount of $500.00 to cover the modification fee.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.

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

adjoining waterway to prevent sedimentation of that waterway from erosion
of the affected land and to preserve the integrity of the natural
watercourse.
4. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions,
earthen dikes, brush barriers, silt check dams, silt retarding structures,
rip rap pits, or ditches shall be provided in the initial stages of any
land disturbance and maintained to prevent sediment from discharging onto
adjacent surface areas or into any lake or natural watercourse in
proximity to the affected land.

which can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion
control measure, structure, or device. In any event, exposed slopes or
any excavated channels, the erosion of which may cause offsite damage due
to siltation, shall be planted or otherwise provided with ground cover,
devices or structures sufficient to restrain such erosion.
6. The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of
water that are, or likely to become, noxious or foul. Necessary structures
such as drainage ditches or conduits shall be constructed or installed
when required to prevent such conditions.
7. Sufficient buffer shall be maintained between any excavation and any
adjoining property line to prevent caving of that property and to allow

This operation does no�t'yield any toxic pollutants which are
hazardous t.o animal orlfish,life. Since water is needed to

No chemical contaminants are used in this mining process. Un-
usable scrap -metal ils stockpiled and sold. Other mining refine,
Including waste rock, is Incorporated in spoils piles.
8. Indicate the method of restoration or establishment of stream channels and
stream beds to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution:
Any ditch required toIdivert a stream will. be constructed according
to sound engineering practices so ati to minimize erosion, siltation
and other pollution during the quarring operation and after the
operation has been abandoned, should this occur.
9. Describe provisions for prevention of noxious, odious or foul water collecting
or remaining in mined arenas.
Since this operation has no mining excavation on the property
the problem of noxious, odious or foiil water collecting do not
apply.
10. Describe how the surface a�radient in unconsolidated materials will be re-
stored to a condition suit&ble for the proposed subsequent use of the Land
after reclamation is completed and proposed method of accomplishment:
Since there is no mi,ninIg excovation'at this operation the problem
of unconsolidated maternal is small.' If diggings were conducted
and the material piled as spoils or used in the construction -of
protective Berns, the final slope angle will be determined so
that revegetation is practical and slumping off will be minimized.

After reviewing the new mining permit for Martin Marietta, Bessemer City quarry, I
noticed that all of the property requested was not added to the permit. There is a 10.4 acre
tract that needs to be inciuded. This brings the total acres to 45.7.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to give me a call.

On this site there are no problems. The entire area is an enclosed system
with water being reused from a small pond. This pond also acts as a settling basin
and traps all sedimelt coming off the site. There has been no relcaimation work
done at this site because they used the rock that comes from Lithium Corporation.
