Re: CANDOR MINE (62-04) — Montgomery County — Modification
Taylor Clay Products is submitting this mine modification for its clay mine in
Montgomery County. A few years ago some surface material was taken from an
area adjacent to the current excavation for fill at a local school construction site.
Our current excavation at the northeast end of the pit and permit has encroached
on this area, and in looking at a recent aerial we may have gone off the permit here.
This modification should take care of this. All drainage from these areas has been
contained within the current pond system. We have some acreage that is ready for
release of bond so I don't suspect that there will be any issues there.
I will be glad to meet with DENR at the site to go over this modification. My cell
number is [phone].
