This Mining Permit application is a request by Mr. Robert Hanna, vice-president of B.E.
Singleton & Sons, Inc, Washington, NC, to allow excavated removal of a 19.25-acre sand
stockpile with established groundcover on property owned by Rich Family Farms, Inc.,
Washington, NC, off US 264, Belhaven, NC, in Hyde County. The proposed permit area is
in a flat, sandy, tree farm area, and will not present any problems regarding runoff to adjacent
areas when all proposed erosion and sediment control measures are in place. The purpose of
the excavation will be to return the land to agricultural and wildlife habitat status.
The proposed Rich Farms Mine excavation will be in an existing 24.52-acre spoil sand
stockpile area originated from dredging of the adjacent Intracoastal Waterway by the US Army
Corps of Engineers in approximately 1998. The proposed 19.25-acre excavation area
currently consists of six to eight feet of sand above natural ground level, surrounded by
existing 12 to 15-ft tall continuous vegetated sand berms. The operator proposes to excavate
the remaining sand from the spoil area inside the berms down to natural ground level, leaving
the existing berms in place after reclamation. There will be no excavation outside of the berm
aeeas or in the NC Coastal Area Management Area of Environmental Concern between the
active mine area and the adjacent Intracoastal Waterway.
The excavation area will be located geographically 1600 feet from the nearest public
highway and will be accessible only by a privately -owned access road. Excavation activities
will be screened from public view on all sides by existing vegetated sand berms and full -growth
pine tree farm. Public access to the permit area is limited by private property, and gated private
road access. There will be minimum 25-ft wide unexcavated buffers on all sides of the permit
area.
Upon receipt of the approved permits from NCDEQ, Mr. Hanna plans to excavate the
sand stockpile back to natural ground level for farm cultivation to proceed afterward.
Reclamation of the permit area will include grading, leveling, and establishment of
groundcover on all affected areas. The permit is requested for a 10-year period.
All adjacent landowners have been contacted and made aware of the proposed excavation
operation, and land entry agreements have been obtained. The excavation area will be well
marked with warning and keep out signs to prevent inadvertent public access.

— 2 — December 21, 2021
Mr. Robert Hanna does hereby request approval for this Mining Permit and asks that it be
expedited as soon as possible. Mr. Hanna appreciates your consideration of this mine permit
application.
Sincerely,
Ken Elliott

Introduction:
The proposed Rich Farms Mine excavation will be located in an existing 24.52-acre spoil sand stockpile
area originated from dredging of the adjacent Intracoastal Waterway by the US Army Corps of Engineers
in approximately 1998. The proposed 19.25-acre excavation area currently consists of six to eight feet of
sand above natural ground level, surrounded by existing 12 to 15-ft tall continuous vegetated sand berms.
The operator proposes to excavate the remaining sand from the spoil area down to natural ground level,
leaving the existing berm in place after reclamation.
Addendum-1:

a. Operator will obtain all required mining permits from NCDEQ.
b. Operator will widen existing dirt access road from Carolina Pines Road to the mine
excavation area and will stabilize the road shoulders with groundcover.
c. Operator will construct and maintain a 30-ft wide by 40-ft long gravel construction
entrance at the intersection of the access road with Carolina Pines Road.
d. Operator will establish a 2-acre staging and processing area on the west side of the

h. All stormwater inside the berm will remain internal; there will be no stormwater drainage
outside of the bermed area.
i. If utilized, the operator will construct a vegetated 2-ft tall sand berm along the perimeter
of western exterior processing area to prevent offsite sedimentation.
j. After each 100 feet of ground is removed, the affected area will be levelled, graded, and
sown with groundcover per NCDEQ requirements for reclamation.
k. All trash will be removed from the excavation area, and the entire affected area inside
the permit area will be fertilized and seeded with groundcover. Any remaining affected
slopes will be stabilized with groundcover. Area inside the remaining berm and outside
processing area will be allowed to return to natural field state.
I. After reclamation, permit area will be utilized by the landowner for scenic and
recreational purposes, and as wildlife habitat.

conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine map(s).
Operator will maintain a minimum 75-ft wide undisturbed buffer (contains undisturbed 75-ft wide
CAMA AEC setback including 30-ft wide CAMA shoreline buffer) between excavation area and

the permit area.
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

sedimentation.
B) Provide a cross-section on the mine map(s) for all fill slopes (berms, waste piles, overburden disposal areas, etc.),

Berm Construction Details
Rich Farms Sand Mine
Belhaven, NC
Hyde County
Narrow -based berm
The narrow -based berm is the most common berm having a top of 2 feet (0.6 m) and side slopes of two
horizontal: 1 vertical. This berm is the most economical to build as it requires the least material. The
steep side slopes of this type of berm eliminate the possibility of working on it with farm machinery.
4-
NEW BERM E%IBTING�
GRADE
Berm Construction
The berm construction comprises of the scraping back of the topsoil from the area where the berm and
storage basin is to be built. A subsoil material, free of stones, rubble, stumps etc. and with at least 10%
clay should be used to construct the berm. The material for the berm may be obtained from the area
behind or in front of the berm location or moved from a borrow pit located elsewhere on the farm. An
earth mover will be required to move material from a pit located a distance away while a bulldozer
would be used if material is located in the berm area.
The berm material is to be placed in layers and compacted as each layer is added. After the berm has a
final shape the sides of the berm should also be compacted.
Emergency Overflow
To provide for larger -than designed peak flows, an overflow system is used, namely:
• "The level -top vegetated berm crest" which provides for very flat berm top so that the water will
overflow along the berm length in a thin layer so as not to create erosion problems.
