Dear Winding Creek Holdings LLC:

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 2016, 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
$50/month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions andlor 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,

Re: Winding Creek Quarry (Draft Permit)
Chatham County
Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Mr. Branch:
Your application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been
reviewed but not yet approved. Enclosed is a draft of the mining permit proposed by the
Department. The conditions in the draft permit were based primarily upon Information
supplied in your application. Other necessary conditions may have been added to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted
in the application (see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is $155,400.00.
The bond is required before the permit can be issued. For your convenience, I have enclosed
a bond form, an assignment of a savings account form and an irrevocable standby letter of
credit form. The name on the security form must be the same as the name appearing on the
enclosed draft permit, i.e., Winding Creek Holdings, LLC. In addition to one of these
alternatives you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and the reclamation bond worksheet, and
contact this office should you have any objections or questions concerning the permit
conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a
notice of the required bond in which to file the required surety.
The permit cannot be issued until the required security has been received. No mining
may be conducted until the permit is issued. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining
permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning -
regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any agency or
department of the State of North Carolina.

- While the conceptual plan appears satisfactory, there are still some details that need to be worked out. Where
stream channels are well defined, the buffers should be measured from the top of the bank.Stone thickness,
orifice sizes, and concrete anchor dimensions are not consistent between sheets. Designs must be consistent

"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter
74, Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is unlikely that any
archaeological sites which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of I-listoric Places will be
affected by the proposed borrowing. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be
conducted in connection with this project.
While we note that this project review is only for a state permit, the potential lot federal permits may
require further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 ofthe National Historic Preservation
Act.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. Ifyou have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Renee Gledhill -Harley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579.

Judy,
Sent via Fei today response to the Winding Creeks adi letter. Found the last returned notification letter in the Post
Office (attached above). We need to be able to send Registered or Certified Mail w/o receipts as it takes up to 60 days to
get the receipt or letter back. The PO no longer may be trusted to deliver or return CM/RRR as you can see on your letter
to Bobby Branch with the green card attached (also see attached above).
Have a big weekend!

PO Box 61Gulf, North Carolina 27256 MINING PROGRAM
RE: Winding Creeks Quarry Chatham County
Cape Fear River Basin
Dear Mr. Branch: RESPONDED To: February 18, 2016
We have reviewed the application you!your company submitted for the referenced
mine site. In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in
accordance with GS 74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the
additional or revised information in accordance with thefollowing comments:
Provide originally signed .pages 1, 17and 18. Pleasefind
enclosed new pages 1, 17 and 18for your use. Properly complete the forms and
return the originally signed and notarized pages to this office. Originals submitted
with initial permit package. Extra copy attached. We cannot backdate notarized does.
2. Provide proof such as copies of the signed return receipts from
certified mail that the county manager and adjoining landowners have been
properly notified. TWO SETS ATTACHED
Ensure that all basins and culverts are designed to include all of the drainage
areas flowing to them, ex., Skimmer Basin #4 discharges into Skimmer Basin #3, all
cumulative drainage to culvert #1, etc.
Construction sequence on sheet C4 has been revised to indicate removal of TD#4 once
SB#4 is installed. The drainage area to culvert #1 has been accounted for in the
calculations for PD#16 which collects all upstream channels and drainage.

4. Increase the length of the construction entrance sufficiently to prevent
tracking onto the four lane highway.
The construction entrance has been increase to 150 ft.
5. Show emergency spillways on natural ground and/or provide non -
erosive conditions for the spillways.
The plan symbols have been changed to show the spillways in natural ground. Also
previously there was a note on the plans indicating this to be constructed in this manner.
See Sheet C4.
6. Remove all erosion and sediment control measures from the undisturbed
stream buffers. It appears that much of the ""Existing Buffer" will be affected by
grading and access to portions of the site. Provide acreage for this buffer to be
included in the affected acreage. Relabel this buffer as "unexcavated" and the
stream buffer as "undisturbed".
The buffers are not to be disturbed. The symbols are show in the buffers due to
scaling and presentation. There is sufficient room to install silt fence and diversions
outside of the undisturbed buffers. If it is shown as it will be installed in the field the
symbols and lines will be on top of each other.
7. Class 1 and B riprap must be shown 18 inches thick with geotextile fabric
underneath.
The depths have been changed to 18 inches in channel tables. The rip rap channel
detail has been modified to show geotextile fabric on sheet C10.
8. Revise the skimmer basin detail to show proper scale. The top of riser for
Basin #5 is the same as top of barrel. Address this.
The depth of the pond has been increased to 4.Oft to allow 1.0 ft difference in top
of riser and top of barrel. See Sheets C4 & C9.
9. Provide proof that your company is in the process of obtaining the
necessary air quality and water quality permits. Both DAQ and NPDES Permit
Applications have been prepared and submitted on 2-17-2016.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the

Hi John,
I reviewed the mining application for Winding Creeks Quarry in Bear Creek, Chatham County, NC for any air quality
implications associated with the proposed quarry. DAQ offers the following comments regarding this application:
• Since the proposed quarry will include crushing operations, an air quality permit is required. The applicatior
indicated that the company planned to apply for an air permit.
• Water suppression will need to be utilized on plant crushing, screening, and conveying operations to ensure
compliance with state and federal rules.
• Measures will need to be taken to control fugitive dust emissions from the plant stockpiles and haul roads.
Let me know if you need any additional information from DAQ.

Dear Mr. Branch:
We have reviewed the application you/your company submitted for the referenced mine
site.
In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with
GS 74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the additional or revised
information in accordance with the following comments:
© Provide originally signed pages 1, 17 and 18. Please find enclosed new pages
1, 17 and 18 for your use. Properly complete the forms and return the originally
signed andnotarized pages to this office.
2. Provide proof such as copies of the signed return receipts from certified mail that
the county manager and adjoining landowners have been properly notified.
3. Ensure that all basins and culverts are designed to include all of the drainage
areas flowing to them, ex., Skimmer Basin #4 discharges into Skimmer Basin #3,
all cumulative drainage to culvert #1, etc.
4. Increase the length of the construction entrance sufficiently to prevent tracking
onto the four lane highway. .
5. Show emergency spillways on natural ground and/or provide non -erosive
conditions for the spillways.

Remove all erosion and sediment control measures from the undisturbed stream
buffers. It appears that much of the ""Existing Buffer" will be affected by grading
and access to portions of the site. Provide acreage for this buffer to be included
in the affected acreage. Relabel this buffer as "unexcavated" and the stream
buffer as "undisturbed".
Class 1 and B riprap must be shoOwn 18 inches thick with geotextile fabric
underneath.
8. Revise the skimmer basin detail to show proper scale. The top of riser for Basin
#5 is the same as top of barrel. Address this.
J9 Provide proof that your company is in the process of obtaining the necessary air
quality and water quality permits.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
above have been fully addressed. In addition, please note the Land Quality Section may
request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application review

Subject:
FW: Winding Creek Holdings LLC/ Winding Creek Quarry review
The RRO has completed our review of the subject application, and we offer the following comments for your
consideration:
10 Well locations should be identified as noted in Diane's comments below.
2. While the conceptual S&E design appears sufficient, there are some items that need adjustment/redesign to
make the plan workable.
1a. The construction entrance should be extended to ensure that tracking onto 421 is appropriately avoided
to the maximum extent possible.
OThe various drainage and S&E features shown on the plans do not appear to address all of the upland
drainage areas producing runoff to them. For example, the area draining to Skimmer Basin 44
discharges into TD#4 and then into Skimmer Basin #3 along with its immediate drainage area shown on
the plan. The cumulative area to culvert#1 also does not appear to be addressed. All structures
throughout the site must be adjusted, as necessary, to accommodate upland drainage areas.
All emergency spillways should be in natural ground to the extent practical, and their location needs to
be included on the drawings. Where they may have to be constructed over the top of the dams, the
linings need to address the more erosive conditions likely on the downstream face and at the
downstream toe.
Perimeter measures appear to extend into the buffers noted along the stream east of the site. All
measures must be contained within the proposed disturbed limits and the buffer should be maximized.
e All class I and B riprap must be placed at least 18" thick on an appropriate geotextile or graded filter
layer. Class A stone should also have a geotextile layer beneath.
The proposed Skimmer basin with Riser detail is deceptive since it is not to scale. Note that the top of
the riser for basin #5 will be the same as the top of the barrel, making its construction difficult, if not
impractical. This should he addressed.
3. DAD and DW R comments have not been seen to date. I will check with them tomorrow and advise accordingly,
We cannot support approval until these items have been fully addressed. If there are any questions, please advise.

John,
I visited the subject mine on January 291h 2016. The map appears to be accurate in reference to dwellings and proposed
location. Some of dwellings were occupied and have wells. Well locations should be identified as the mine does plan to
dewater. Certified Mail Receipts were included. The erosion control portion of the mine map appears adequate. We
may wish to request a longer than typical construction entrance as the entrance is directly onto Highway 421 (high
volume traffic). I have concerns about tracking due to the size of this mine. Seeding specs were included and appear
adequate.
have no other comments.

Cc: Wehner, Judy; Boyer, Janet
Subject: Re: Process for Requesting Public Hearing on Mining Application
Mr. Backstrom,
I am not sure if Judy responded to your latest inquiry, so I offerthis explanation on determining significant public
interest.
As significant public interest is not defined in the statutes or rules, it is left to my determination based upon several
factors related to the proposed application in question. When we receive comments from the public, we review them to
determine if they contain issues that we can address under the Mining Act (vs. nuisance issues we cannot address such
as operating hours, land values, truck traffic, etc.(. Also, if the comments are received from citizens directly affected by
the proposal, such as adjoining landowners or local governments speaking on behalf of constituents in the area, vs.
interest groups opposing an application while area residents have not submitted objections. Thus, my determinations
are made on a case by case basis to ensure that we hold hearings when they appear warranted and use staff resources
wisely. Please note that even if a public hearing is not held, all public comments received are still given full
consideration in our review of mining permit applications.
I hope that this answers your question. Thanks for your interest.

Subject: Process for Requesting Public Hearing on Mining Application
Hi, Judy.
got your name from Jason Sullivan in Pittsboro as the person to whom I should speak about a
permitting issue.
A tract of land in Chatham County has had an application for a mining permit submitted to your
office. The applicant was Winding Creek Holdings, LLC, and the date of the application is January 11. If
it helps the tract of land is parcel 8906. Would you be good enough to tell me the process by which a
citizen can request that a public hearing be held in such a circumstance? I guess I'm looking for info
including but not necessarily limited to:
- What timetables are in play for requesting a public hearing?
- To whom specifically is such a request made?
- How soon would a person hear whether such a hearing is granted?

How quickly would a heOg typically take place?
Where would it take place?
- What is the process itself like?
What is the requestor required to provide either to your office at the time of the request, in
advance of the meeting, or at the meeting itself?
Etc.
The same landowner (under the name Richmond Road Holdings, LLC) is in the process of preparing for
submission an application for another mining permit for an adjacent tract(s) of land (parcels 8328
and/or 80049 and/or 80050) that may generate additional request(s) for public hearing(s) from
neighboring landowners. If you have already received this application please let me know.
If it's easier to give me a call please feel free to do so at the number below, or I could swing by to talk
with you (I'm just up the street). Perhaps you even have some sort of prepackaged response you can
send me.
I sincerely appreciate your help! Have a great day.

I have sent John my comments and he may have additional comments to provide. I didn't have any significant
comments other than well location identification and perhaps the addition of a longer than typical construction
entrance since this site enters and exits directly onto highway 421(high volume of traffic). I do think he will review the
calculations for the measures, but the plan appeared to be ok. The site location was accurate as were waterfeatures. It
is currently a cow pasture.
Thanks

Judy,
I received the attached information from Russ Patterson yesterday regarding anew mining permit application. I've also
attached a gis map showing the property outlined in blue. A portion of the property is zoned R-1 (shaded green) and will
require a rezoning to Heavy Industrial to move forward. I've informed Russ Patterson about the zoning issue and I think
he's shown the zoning boundary line in his attachments. I wanted to let you know about the zoning issues and please let
me know if you have any questions or if I need to submit comments in a different format.

DATE: February 4, 2016
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Winding Creek Holdings, LLC, Winding Creek Quarry,
Chatham County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject permit
application. Comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended,
1982)(G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
The applicant is requesting a new permit to mine metabasalUmetasediment. The total site area is 119.2 acres;
the requester) disturbed acreage is 59.7 acres. The project site is located along US Highway 421, southeast of
its intersection with NC Highway 902, northwest of Goldstar. The applicant indicates mine discharge is the
result of water that accumulates in the pit. 'fine pit water Is composed of rain water, ground water seepage
and area drainage. The water is pumped out of the pit as required; chemicals will not be used. Mine
dewatering will occur from the pit sump through Permanent Sediment Basin 46 to an unnamed tributary of
Bear Creek. A 50-foot or wider buffer will be maintained along the tributary to Bear Creek as well as Bear
Creek. The reclamation plan includes allowing the mine excavation to fill with water and stocking it with
fish. Dislurhed areas will be vegetated according to the seeding schedule provided.
Bear Creek flows along the southern boundary ohhe proposed quarry; an unnamed tributary to Bear Creek
flows along the western boundary. There are records for the following rare species downstream of the
project in Bear Creek: the federal and state -endangered, Cape Fear shiner (Nolrepls mekislocholas); the
Federal species of concern and state -endangered, brook floater (Alasmidonra varicewa) and Carolina
creekshell (Villo.sa vaughanimra); the state -threatened, creeper (.So ophaw mrdvlarus); the federal species of
concern and state -special concern, Carolina darter (Etheosloma collis); the state -special concern, notched
rainbow (Villosa consn'icla); and the state -significantly rare, eastern creekshell (Villoso delurnhis). There arc
also records for the Cape Fear shiner in the Rocky River, located downstream of Bear Creek. 'The Natural
Heritage Program Natural Area— Rocky River Subbasin Aquatic Habitat — is located downstream of the
project site.

seplenlrionalis) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The northern long-eared bat may be
present or in the vicinity of the project site. As such, consultation with the USFWS may be required. For
more information, please see http://www.lws.k;ov/niidwesi/endangcredhiiarrrma]slnIebllntet-im4(i[Zule
KeyN1.1 13.html or contact the USFWS at [phone] to ensure that potential issues related to this
species are addressed.
The Upper and Middle Rocky River Local Watershed Plan (N.C. F-cosystem Enhancement Program, 2005)
identified stream bank erosion, lack of adequate forested streaniside buffers, stormwater runoff, livestock
access to streams, floodplain development, pesticides, nutrients, fecal coliforrn bacteria and poor
development practices as stressors in the watershed. Due to the presence of rare and sensitive species within
Bear Creek and Rocky River, it is important to protect water quality and aquatic habitat, Therefore, the
NCWRC recommends the following measures to minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife
resources:
I . Wetlands and streams within the site boundaries should be identified through on -site surveys prior to
any land disturbing activities. If wetlands and/or streams will be impacted by mining activities, the
project should be coordinated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the N.C. Division of Water
Resources.
2. Generally, where federally listed species are found, the NCWRC recommends maintaining a minimum
200-foot undisturbed native, forested buffer along perennial streams, and a minimum 100-foot buffer
along intermittent streams and wetlands (NCWRC 2002). 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 site. in addition, these buffers will provide a travel

Cvr,,uw �v, ..,,� �� . ,pectes. ..�, gent and crosion .,ontr ! stuctLl .,o s1hould be located OL!t,-�u....f u...o.,
buffers.
3. Water discharges from the site should be proportional to the size of the receiving stream, 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 and fisheries resources within and downstream of the project area. 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.
4. Only native piedmont fish species should be stocked in the excavation. Note: Blue catfish (lcialirrus
j<rrcalus) are not native to the Cape Fear River basin. A stocking permit may be required to stock any
species of fish, mollusks or crustaceans. Applications for a stocking permit are available at
littp://ww�v.nc%vildlife.org. There is no fee associated with the permit application process. Please
contact Jessica Baumann, District Fisheries Biologist, at [phone] or
iessica.baumannrr?ncwildlifc.ors< for additional information reaardinu fish stocking and the need for a
stocking permit. V v
5. Consider using seed mixtures that are beneficial to wildlife (e.g., native warm season grasses) in the
reclamation plan. Relatively shallow sediment basins can be reclaimed as wetlands where practicable.
Please contact Jason Allen, District Wildlife Biologist, at [phone] orjason.allen u,ncwildlife.or�
for additional information regarding reclamation for wildlife.
6. Sediment and erosion control measures should be installed prior to any land clearing, construction or
disturbance. The use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices is
strongly recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting
that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines.
Silt fencing and similar products that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be
avoided as they impede the movement of terrestrial wildlife species.

SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Application Request for:
Winding Creek Holdings, LLC
Winding Creeks Quarry
Chatham County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit request far the above referenced project.
The Winding Creeks Quarry located in Chatham County does not appear to have an unduly adverse
effect on ground water supplies since dewatering proposed on site is less than 100,000 gallons per
day. However, if the mine starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd of water, they will need to re ig ster their
water withdrawals with the Division of Water Resources on an annual basis. The registration form
may be obtained from the following link:
http://www.newater.org/Permits_and_Registration/Walter_W ithdrawal_and_Transfer_Registration.
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statute requires any non-agricultural water user who
withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day ol'ground water or surface water to register and
update withdrawals. This statue also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of
surface water from one river basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers-.
Water withdrawal registrants must complete the annual water use reporting form by A rp jl I for the
previous year.
If you have further questions regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr
with the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or email him at john.barronedenr.gov.

2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plansfor sediment and erosion controlf)r 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) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
Erosion control measures are clearly indicated on the Mine Map. The structures are designed
in accordance with 25 year, 24 hour storm event as required. Details for these structures
including calculations are shown on the Detail Sheets.
See Sheet C4 "Mine Map" for Sedimentation and Erosion Control measures and Construction
Sequence. Also refer to Sheets C3-C16 for drainage areas, calculations for diversions and basins,
and all other construction notes and Reclamation Plan.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes X NoEl If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be
used.
Washed aggregate is produced utilizing spray bars on inclined screens. Water for the process comes
from the pit sump or Sediment Basin #4. This water is recycled through Sediment Basin #4 (See
Sheet C-4). The basin will be dipped out as necessary and the fines added to the ABC product or
utilized for asphalt fines.
The mine discharge is made up of storm water that accumulates in the pit. Most of this water is
what falls directly into the pitand ground water seepage; the remainder comes from area drainage.
This water is then pumped out of the pit as required. No chemicals will] be used.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to
the waters of the State? Yes X No ❑. Ifyes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate
all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map().
The site will be permitted to discharge mine water and storm water by means of a General Permit
NCG02000 issued by the Division of Water Quality after the Mine Permit is issued. The mine
dewatering will occur from the pit sump through Permanent Sediment Basin #6 (See Sheet C-4) to
unnamed tributary of Bear Creek. Other storm water will discharge after settling in the sediment
traps and basins.

If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes X No ❑.
Ifyes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Estimated withdrawal rate
in gallons per day:40,000 . Locate all existing wells on the mine map(a) that lie within 500,fee1 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. No wells within 50{1 feet of
the proposed excavation that are not on the mine property.
d. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate waterquality 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 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.
e.
The site will be permitted to discharge mine water and storm water by means of a General Permit
NCG02000 issued by the Division of Water Quality after the Mine Permit is issued. This site does
not lie within a capacity use area.
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.

h_ Could the operation have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a publicly owned park,
forest or recreation area? If so, how will such effects (i.e., noise, visibility, etc.) be mitigated?
There are no publicly owned parks, forest, recreational areas, or other public land adjacent
the site.
11, 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 offsile occupied
slruclure(.$) to the proposed excavation(.$) on the mine map and indicate its approximate distance to the
proposed excavation.
The nearest dwelling, not owned by the permittee, the John R. Wilkins, Jr. home, is over 1490 feet
from the edge of the 10 year nit (indicated on mine man).
Explosives will be used to extract the rock in the quarry. The principal explosive material is
ammonium nitrate/fuel oil mixture know as ANFO. Ammonium nitrate is a common high nitrogen
fertilizer.
A shot pattern will be used that minimizes the air and ground vibrations and provides the best rock
fragmentation. Energy expended as excess air blast or ground vibration is wasted energy and it is
our intent to develop the most efficient, cost-effective blasting procedures possible. The shots will
be scheduled for around mid -day and perceived as "distant thunder" lasting less than a second.
Depending upon market conditions, blasting may occur one to three times per week.
Permanent records will be maintained of each shot, which indicate shot pattern, loading, delays,
time, weather conditions, seismograph records, and all other pertinent data related to the shot.
12. Will fuel tanks, solvents, or other chemical reagents be stored on -site? Yes X No ElI f yes, describe these materials, how they will be stored and method of containment in case of spill. Indicate
the location(,) of'all storage.facilities on the mine map(,).
Fuel oil, gasoline, and waste oil will be stored in approved containment structures that meet
all required fire protection codes. Since no shop facilities are currently planned, no part
cleaners will stored on site.
