sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
Mining will continue as permitted in the existing active mine area (east of existing Basin K). Erosion control
for the proposed new mining area will consist of four (4) new sediment basins (Basins L, M, N. and O).
Earthen berms will be constructed to divert stormwater runoff to these basins. No mining will occur north of
the Progress Energy Easement that runs through the property.
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.
Proposed erosion control measures consist of diversion berms and sediment basins with riser pipes and
skimmers. Areas upslope of the basins will be mined and the runoff from these areas will be conveyed to the
basins by gravity. Silt fence will be placed beneath the diversion berms and below the sediment basins.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ❑ No E. If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
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 M No ❑. Ifyes, briefly describe the nature ofthe discharge and locate
all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map(s).

in gallons per day: . 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.
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 facility is covered by General Permit NCG020881
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? Yes ❑ No EK.
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?
Haul roads are stabilized with broken brick or crushed rock. Stockpiles and haul roads will be wetted to
control dust as needed.

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).
Buffer widths are noted on the mine maps. At least a 50 ft. undisturbed or unexcavated buffer will be
provided along the permitted boundary adjacent to other properties and along the NCDOT right-of-way.
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 minimum 50 ft undisturbed buffer will be maintained between land disturbing activities and any natural
watercourse or wetlands.
6. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries

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.
The closest residential dwelling is about 180 ft. from the mine excavation. The mine will be sloped at 2:1
(H:V) at the perimeter of the mine.
8. Describe what kind of barricade will be used to prevent inadvertent public access along any high wall area
and when it will be implemented. Vegetated earthen berms, appropriate fencing and adequate boulder
barriers may be acceptable high wall barricades. A construction detail/cross-section and location of each
