Mining Permit No. 10-09
Brunswick County
Dear Mr. McClain:
The review has been completed on the additional information
and -map you submitted for"the above referenced mine site. We have
agreed to adjust our estimates for the acreage to be covered by
your reclamation bond., It appears, from your map, that
approximately 9 acres will require reclamation bond coverage under
the Mining Act of 1971. Therefore, the reclamation bond for this
site has been recalculated to be $8,300.00. The calculation
worksheet is enclosed for your review and the required bond or
appropriate balance ($5,800.00) will be required to maintain your
Mining Permit, Failure to submit the required bond may result in
your mining permit being revoked. If so, your mine site will be
required to be completely reclaimed immediately.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an
assignment of a savings account form and irrevocable standby letter
of credit form for your use in securing the required bond. The
name on the security must be the same as the name appearing -on the
application for a mining permit. In addition to one of these
alternatives, you may, upon request, substitute a cash`deposit.
As required by 15A NCAC 5B.0013, you are hereby advised that
lou have 180 days from the date of your receipt of this letter to
submit all of the requested information. If you are unable to meet
this deadline and wish to request additional time,.you must submit
information, in writing, to the Director clearly indicating why the
deadline can not be met and request that an extension of time be
granted. If an'extension of time is not granted, a' -decision will
be made to grant or deny the mining permit based upon the
information currently in the Department's files at the end of the
180.day period.

conditions of his permit and by 'the Mining Act with reference to
the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor
operator, provided that both operators have complied with the
requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor operator
agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to
reclamation of the affected land and posts a suitable bond or
other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or
permittee's successor is not complying with the Reclamation Plan
or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing to
achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the
Department may give the operator written notice of its intent to
modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to modify the
Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator

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 Historic Places will be affected by the proposed borrowing.
We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in
connection with this project.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions
