Subject: Stream determination for General Shale Brickhaven Mine #2,
1315 Moncure Flatwood Rd, Moncure, Chatham County
PIN# 9697-00-74-3879 and 9687-00-53-8809
Dear Bobby:

LAND QUALITY
alnnnir- r"-)GRAM
On August 7, 2020, I conducted a site visit and stream determination on the subject property. The subject
site is owned by General Shale and is known as the Brickhaven Mine. The subject site consists of two
tracts, approximately 66.5 ac. and 273.5 ac. located in Chatham County, north of Brickhaven, North
Carolina. Figure 1 shows the USGS Moncure Quadrangle topographic map with the site property
boundaries in red. Figure 2 shows the site property boundaries superimposed on the NRCS Chatham
County Soil Survey. Figure 3 shows the existing mining operations on the subject property.
Using the NCDWQ Stream Identification Guidance (Version 4.11), I determined ephemeral, intermittent
or perennial status of multiple streams on the subject property and completed stream identification forms
for each call. I made 8 stream identification calls and located them using GPS. The stream determination
locations are numbered on each data form and locations (latitude/longitude in decimal degrees)
corresponding to each stream data form are listed on Figure 2.
I have enclosed my stream identification forms and maps showing the approximate location of the data
points described on the data forms. Please contact me if you have any questions at [phone] or by
email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Robin M. Perez, LSS #1 05
