Dear Allen Barnhill:
ROY COOPER

TRACY DAVIS
Director
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 2018, 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
S501month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or 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
Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Proctor:
Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor
Dee Freeman, Secretary
We have reviewed the renewal request and additional information your company
submitted for the referenced mine site. However, the following information is needed to
continue processing your application:
Show an unexcavated buffer along the Landfill Road. Include the existing berm
along the road within the buffer. Show a construction entrance for the access
point on the mine map. Provide a construction detail for the entrance.
2. As previously requested, provide more information regarding dewatering
activities at this site. Provide the pump make/model, pump capacity and hours of
operation per day. Show the pump location(s) and outlet(s). Provide a
construction detail for the outlet(s). Permits/plans/notifications may be required
from the Division of Water quality and the Division of Water Resources for
dewatering activities. Provide the information based on the maximum amount of
pumping needed to open the pit to mining. Otherwise no dewatering will be
allowed and a modification must be submitted prior to conducting said activities.
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
progresses.

As we discussed, the issues regarding barnhill's beaver dam mine:
1. Road access: Tracey judged that we could not double permit a property that is permitted under sediment.
Barnhill will have to provide a construction entrance to Landfill Road.
2. On mine permit application question 3.b., the permittee answered "no." The pipe in the sediment trap controls
the water level in the pond. There is minor discharge, not directly to the nearby stream, but a discharge
nonetheless, probably into wetlands. The pipe should be sized appropriately.
3. Visual screening needs to be noted.
4. Refer to original comments regarding application issues.

Section C #2 Silt basin is omitted from measures.
Section C #3b: There is a point discharge from the silt basin/pond.
Section C #3c: Permit answered no to dewatering, but then said they would dewater in the comments.
Section C #3d. Did not answer and needed to.
Section C 4: Describe fill materials, locate on map
Section C 6: The statement is contradicting the DWM permit submitted. They said no refuse, but if
referred to C4, offsite waste may be used.
The submitted map differs from previous maps. Buffers are not defined. The silt basin and supporting
calculations are omitted, with associated diversions. Stockpile and refuse locations are not defined.
6acres is changed to 8 acres for mining excavation. Construction entrance has not been included.
An additional issue has risen concerning the haul road. Landfill road is not a state road, nor is it a county
road. Rather, it is defined as an orphan road. There are no easements for the road. No one pays taxes
on the road. The landfill recently included the road as a haul road in their permit. However, they were
adamant about requiring other parties to be also jointly and severely responsible for the road. The mine
should have to have access to the closest state road. One other mine is also on this road, Britts
Landscaping mine, which I was going to address after this permit. There are three potential stream
crossings on Landfill Road. The estimated length of the road is 3600 linear feet.

Concerning the Beaverdam Mine, this will the second review and Bay Branch mine, the third .. maybe fourth comment.
I just received the Boardman Mine on my desk this morning and will need the review form for it. Jim isn't in today so if
you sent it to him, I won't get it until tomorrow.
Do you all just want me to give my comments for Beaverdam and Bay Branch in an email or do you want to send me
another comment review form to fill out? What's the chances that you guys can print out a review form to put with the
application/mods/renewals.. before you send the packages out to WirO DLR? Jim was going to ask if you all could do
that instead of emailing the review forms. Did he ask you all about that yet?

Re: Beaver Dam Mine Renewal
Permit #10-25
I am writing in response to your letter dated May 31, 2012 in regards
to our renewal application for Beaver Dam Mine in Brunswick County. Our
mine map has been updated to show the buffers along the property line as
undisturbed. The previously shown stockpile areas on earlier approved
maps are no longer in use and have been removed from the plan. We have
also shown the location of the existing LCID landfill on -site. The permit
for this LCID was submitted with the original application. The small
building located near the entrance of the pit has also been added to the
map. 1 There are no other buildings within 300' of the permit boundary.
This -site w Yl..not•-kbd-dowatered:��,We have applied for an NPDES permit
through DWQ for discharge; however, this discharge would only occur in an
extreme rain event and would not be the result of dewatering. There is an
existing metal pipe at the southern end of the pond for emergency
discharge which has been added to the mine map. I have also updated the
affected acreage table on the mine map to show the correct acreages. We
will only disturb 7.56 acres of the 10.13 permitted acres at the site.
Please find enclosed two (2) copies of the updated mine map showing
the requested information. Should you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact us.

We have reviewed the renewal request your company submitted for the referenced
mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing your
application:
Clearly label the permit boundary on the mine map. In addition, label the buffers
as "50 foot undisturbed buffers." All buffers along wetlands and waterways must
be undisturbed. Previously approved maps showed stockpile/work areas,
dewatering basins and outlets. Indicate these features if they are still applicable.`
2. Show all houses and buildings within 300 feet of the permit boundary.
U3. Provide more information regarding dewatering activities at this site. Provide the
pump make/model, pump capacity and hours of operation per day. Show the
pump location(s) and outiet(s). Provide a construction detail for the outlet(s).
Permits/plans/notifications may be required from the Division of Water quality
and the Division of Water Resources for dewatering activities.
4. Since 50 foot undisturbed buffers are required around most of the site because of
nearby waterways, the entire site will not be disturbed. Provide a revised
affected acreage.

Beaver Dam Mine
Brunswick County
Division Representative, Linda Willis, rinet with your representatives, Jonathan Proctor and Earl
Tharp, on May 17, 2012, at your mine site located on Landfill Road in Brunswick County (DLR
Mine Permit No. 10-25). Pursuant to the Division of Water Quality's review of the Division of
Land Resources (DLR) mine permit application and the site visit, it was determined that
stormwater and wastewater (from pit dewatering) discharges can occur from this mine pit to
Beaverdam Swamp which is classified as a C-Sw water of the State in the Lumber River Basin.
Therefore, the discharge from this mine will require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit NCG020000,
The NPDES General Permit NCG020000 covers mining and quarrying of nonmetallic minerals
(except fuels) including borrow pits (that would not be covered under the statewide DOT
stormwater permit) and active or inactive mines that discharge stormwater contaminated with, or
that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate products, finished
products, byproducts or waste products located at the site of such operations and stormwater
runoff from vehicle maintenance areas. 'this General Permit also covers discharge of wastewater
from processing mined materials and mine dewatering wastewater from the groundwater and/or
stormwater that accumulates in the mine pit. A discharge without a permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute i 43-215.1(a). Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A (a)(2), a civil penalty of not
more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per violation per day may be assessed for
discharges without a permit..

LAND QUALITY SECTION
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced pro) ect.
The Beaver Dam Mine, located in Brunswick County, does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on
ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to begin pumping
water from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Water Resources would like to be contacted
so that it may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground water supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water
withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue requires any
non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of 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 Apn
�l 1 for the previous
year.
If you have further questions please contact the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or send

Re: Beaver Dam Mine Renewal
Permit #10-25
Brunswick County, NC
I am respectfully submitting an application for the renewal
of the Beaver Dam Mine, permit #10-25, in Brunswick County, NC.
The renewal is based on the existing permit as we do not foresee
any changes in the operation of the pit. There will be no
addition of land under the permit which would require a
modification. Also, Barnhill Contracting Company's operation
will not invoke any of the seven (7) denial criteria listed
under G.S. 74-51 of the Act. We are requesting the renewal for
a period of 10 years and we have a blanket bond that will cover
the reclamation bond for this renewal.
Please find enclosed one (1) original and five (5) copies
of the Mining Permit Application and updated Mine Maps. We have
also enclosed our existing LCID Landfill Permit (I.D. #N0606)
for this property. This landfill is still active and has not
encroached the maximum 2 acres in size. Also enclosed is a
check for the renewal fee.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact us.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor
Dee Freeman, Secretary
According to our records, the mining permit for the above referenced mine will
expire on 5/8/2012.
GS 74-52 provides that the permit may be renewed at any time during the two
years prior to its expiration. The procedure to be followed and standards to be applied
in renewing a permit shall be the same as those for issuing a permit. To apply for
permit renewal, you must complete Item Nos. 1-5 of the Renewal Checklist (revised
11/2001). Complete and file an original and 6 (six) copies of the appropriate pages
of the mining permit application form for this site along with the required corresponding
mine maps. The appropriate application processing fee is also required. The renewal
checklist and application form and other forms may be downloaded by visiting:
littp://www.dlr.enr_state.nc_us/pages/mininctorogram.html, the web page for the Division
of Land Resources' Mining Program. Please be sure to indicate any changes in the
mining and/or reclamation plan. All requested information must be forwarded to the
Land Quality Section's Central Office at the address located on the cover of the
application form.
If it is your intent to reclaim and release this site, the renewal will not be
necessary. If this is the case, no further mining should be conducted after the
expiration date and reclamation should begin immediately. It is further requested that
you notify this office in writing of your intent to reclaim and release the site.

It is recommended that you submit the above information for renewal of your
mining permit at least 90 days prior to the permit's expiration date in order to allow the
Department enough time to complete its review of your request before the permit
expires.
If you allow the permit to expire before submitting a request for renewal as per
the above Checklist, you must immediately cease mining on and after the expiration
date and complete reclamation of the site. Mining without a permit is subject to a
$5,000 per day civil penalty. After the expiration date, approval of a new mining permit
application will be required before mining may continue.

In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as the Department,
and in conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of
this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for

This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the

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 shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.

Hi Judy,
I got a call from Pipi Hughes at MAC Construction about her mine (permit
# 10-25). She said that they were changing bonding companies and not
closing the Mine. She said she would have a new bond by April 25th.
I'm not really sure what the confusion is, so I told her I would contact
you. Her number is 910-754-7177.
Thanks,
Kevin

BOND CANCELLATION & FORFEITURE NOTICE

RE: Beaver Dam Mine
Permit No. 10-25
Brunswick County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Mr. Tharp and Ms. Stephenson:
This office has received notification of Selective Insurance Company of America's intent
to cancel Mac Construction Company's $8,300.00 mine reclamation bond (Bond No.
B717403). The effective date for cancellation of this bond is May 24, 2003.
As a surety is required to maintain the validity of the mining permit, please arrange to
substitute this bond. I am enclosing another surety form, an assignment of savings account
form and an irrevocable standby letter of credit form, any of which may be used to replace the
existing surety.
Please be advised that this reclamation bond must remain in full force and effect until it
is reinstated or replaced, or the site is completely reclaimed and deemed releasable by the
Department. A review of our records indicates that the mining permit for the above referenced
mine site is still active and, therefore, a valid mine reclamation bond is still required until all
outstanding reclamation obligations have been met at the site.

Please note that if the bond is not reinstated or replaced by 6gril 24, 2003, the mining
permit will be automatically revoked (G.S. 74-50(c)). Thus, all mining activities must cease
and the entire mine site must be completely reclaimed. Should any further mining activities
occur at the site after this date, such activities will be considered mining without a permit and
subject to further enforcement action, such as civil penalties and injunctive relief.
If a substitute reclamation bond is not received by this office within this deadline, or if
reclamation of the site has not commenced and is proceeding in a timely manner by this
deadline, this matter will be referred to the Attorney General's Office for initiation of bond
forfeiture proceedings under G.S. 74-56(d) to ensure proper reclamation of the mine site(s). In
addition, failure to address the terms of this Notice may result in the assessment of civil
penalties and/or injunctive relief against the permittee.
Please contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, at (91 9) 733-4574
as soon as possible to convey your intentions in this matter. Your cooperation will be greatly
appreciated.

This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: if another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the 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 shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.

The Beaver Dam Mine located in Brunswick County appears not to have
an unduly adverse effect on ground water supplies. However, future monitoring
of adjacent private supply wells may be required if adversely impacted from
dewatering of the surficial aquifer at the Beaver Dam Mine.
Any water withdrawal will be subject to North Carolina General Statute
143-215.22H; Registration of Water Withdrawals and Transfers Required. Any
person who withdraws in one day 100,000 gallons (70 gpm) or more of surface
water or ground water in North Carolina is required to register the withdrawal
with the Division of Water Resources. A Capacity Use Area #1 permit must be
obtained from the Division of Water Resources if the withdrawal exceeds 100,000
gallons per day and occurs in Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Hyde, Pamlico, Tyrrell,
or Washington County.

Mac Construction Company is requesting the renewal of mining permit # 10-25.
We will be continuing to mine sand from this permitted area, and there will be no
additional land affected within the mine, other than what has been previously permitted.
There is no need for additional sedimentation or erosion control other than what is
already required. We expect this mining operation to continue for the next ten years, or
until permitted land is used. Mac Construction Company will proceed to operate within
all permitted criteria under G.S. 74-51 _ If you have any further questions, please feel free
to contact us at the above number.

NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF
KING PERMIT
You have previously expressed an interest and/or are listed as an adjoining
land owner in the application for a mining permit filed by Mac Construction
Company to conduct mining activities at the Beaver Dam Mine in Brunswick County.
The mining permit was issued on October 21, 1991. A recent North Carolina Court
of Appeals decision has held that a person aggrieved by the issuance of a mining
permit has the right to initiate a contested case hearing in the Office of
Administrative Hearings pursuant to N.C.G.S. 150E-23 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA). Please be advised however, that this Department disagrees
with that ruling and has recently filed documents in the Office of
Administrative Hearings to limit permit issuance challenges to a hearing on the
record in Superior Court pursuant to N.C.G.S. 150B-43. A ruling on the
Department's request is still pending. Despite our position on this issue,
North Carolina law requires us to inform you of your right to contest the
issuance of the permit. Unless the Court of Appeals' decision is changed, you
still have the right to seek a contested case hearing pursuant to N.C.G.S.
150-23 of the APA. To preserve your right to a hearing, you must file a
petition for a contested case in the Office of Administrative Hearings within
sixty (60) days of the mailing of this notice to you. The address for filing
the petition is The Office of Administrative Hearings, P.Q. Drawer 27447,
Raleigh, N. C. 27611-7447. Their telephone number is [phone]. This
notice was mailed on October 22, 1991.

County. Personnel of this office have also determined that you are the operator of
this mine.
Pursuant to G.S. 74-59 of the Mining Act of 1971, no person may operate a
mine without first obtaining a mining permit and also posting a bond to ensure that
the site is reclaimed. Mining is defined by NCGS 74-49 as:
The breaking of the surface in order to facilitate or accomplish the extraction
or removal of minerals, ores, or other solid matter;
Any activity or process constituting all or part of a process for the extraction
or removal of minerals, ores, soils, and other solid matter from its original
location; and/or
The preparation, washing, cleaning, or other treatment of minerals, ores, or
other solid matter so as to make them suitable for commercial, industrial, or
construction use.

primarily upon information supplied in your application with conditions added
if necessary to ensure corppliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
Also enclosed is a form for your use in securing the required
$2,500.00 surety bond. For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form and
an assignment of a savings account form. The name on the bond or assignment
form 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, mortgage of real property or negotiable
securities.
Please review the draft permit and contact this office should you have
any objection or question concerning the permit conditions. G.S. 74-51
provides the operator 60 days following the mailing of application approval
notice in which to file the required surety.
The permit will be issued when the required surety 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 local zoning
regulations. The responsibility of comp i'ance with any applicable zoning
regulations lies with you.

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.
We are concerned with mines being permitted and operating near historic
structures. Please ask the permit applicant to send us photographs
(Polaroid type snapshots are fine) of any structures over fifty years
old in or surrounding the project area. These photographs should be
keyed to a map showing their exact location in relation to the project
area. If there are no structures over fifty years old within or adjacent
to the project area, please inform us of this in writing.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions
concerning the above comments, please contact Ms. Renee Gledhill -Earley,
Environmental Review Coordinator, at 919/733-4763.

FROM: Dennis Stewart, Manager
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: June 5, 1991
SUBJECT: Review of Application for Mac Construction Company Borrow Pit,
Brunswick County, North Carolina.
Professional staff biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the application for a mining permit submitted by
Mac Construction Company, Shallotte, North Carolina. An onsite investigation was
performed on May 30, 1991, for the purpose of further assessing construction impacts on
wildlife, fisheries and wetland resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with
certain provisions of the N. C. Mining Act of 1971, G.S. 74-46 et seq.
Mac Construction is proposing to construct an open pit mine on 10.13 acres of land
located approximately 3 miles northeast of the Town of Supply, adjacent to the county,
landfill. The tract is located on Beaver Dam Creek, a small stream that forms the southern
and western boundary of the project site. A small natural drain marks the eastern
boundary. On the north, a gravel service road leading to the landfill constitutes the
boundary.
Presently, about one-half of the tract has been cleared of vegetation, with evidence
of recent minim activities. The remaining acreage consists of an open stand of immature
loblolly pine (Pine taedus) with a relatively clear understory. The soils are very sandy and
well drained.
In accordance with our review of the proposed application, we provide the following
comments:
1. A 54-foot buffer zone of undisturbed habitat should be established along the
entire boundary of the tract except the northern road frontage to protect the
integrity of Beaver Dam Creek as well as the natural drain noted above.
2. The Reclamation Plan notes (page 9) that after excavating 2 acres, the
disturbed area will be leveled and planted in grass. However, the Permit
Application notes (page 2) that the maximum amount of land to be disturbed

Memo
(2)
June 5, 1991
and unreclaimed at any one time is 49 acres? We recommend that the
Permit Application as well as the Reclamation Plan be consistent throughout
prior to any permit approval.
3. The proposed 3.1 slope angle, as well as the proposed revegetation methods
are adequate. However, prior to implementation of reclamation activities,
we request that the applicant consult with professional wildlife and fisheries
biologists to enhance post -project habitat values.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposed project. If we can
provide further assistance, please can on us.

proposes to mine approximately 5 acres along Beaver Dam Creek. Clearing
has occurred at this site.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of
the operation having unduly adverse effect on wildlife or freshwater
fisheries (G.S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond:by June 4, 1991 so that we
may complete our review of this --request within our statutory time
limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications and
modification requests, this office will carefully review all proposed
erosion and sediment control measures to ensure that they are sufficient
to restrain erosion and offsite sedimentation. However, any comments
your agency can provide regarding effects on wildlife and freshwater
fisheries would be greatly appreciated. If your staff wishes to perform
a site inspection, it is recommended that they contact Mr. W. J. McLamb
at [phone] to set up a convenient date and time.
Your continued cooperation in the review of these type requests is

Dear Mr. McLamb:
The initial review has been completed on your application for a
mining permit for the Mac Construction Company Mine in Brunswick County.
The following deficiencies were noted in the application:
(1) Over the next In years, do you intend to mine the 10.13 acres
at the site or only 4.9 acres? If more than 4.9 acres are to
be mined, excavation, stockpile and other disturbed area
boundaries must be shown on the mine map.
(2) A minimum 50 foot undisturbed buffer must be maintained along
all disturbances and any watercourses.
(3) Based on our Wilmington field office's review comments,
sediment and erosion control measures will be needed along the
southern property lines as a minimum. Please update the mine
map to show proposed measures and provide design calculations
for such.

Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit
application for the above referenced project. Mac Construction Co.
proposes to mine approximately 5 acres along Beaver Dam Creek. Clearing
has occurred at this site.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of
the operation having unduly adverse effect on wildlife or freshwater
fisheries (G.S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond by June 4, 1991 so that we
may complete our review of this request within our statutory time
limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications and
modification requests, this office will carefully review all proposed
erosion and sediment control measures to ensure that they are sufficient
to restrain erosion and offsite sedimentation. However, any comments
your agency can provide regarding effects on wildlife and freshwater
fisheries would.be greatly appreciated. If your staff wishes to perform
a site inspection, it is recommended that they contact Mr. W. J. McLamb
at [phone] to set up a convenient date and time.
Your continued cooperation in the review of these type requests is
very much appreciated.

RE: Mining Application
Dear Ms. Studenberg:
In response to your letter of April 29, 1991 1 have enclosed two copies
of the map on the proposed borrow pit areas.
In answer to your questions, we intend to use the 4.9 acres as indicated
on the map. On the map we have shown a 50 ft. undisturbed buffer area
adjacent to the creek. Also we have shown on the map a silt basin to
collect any silt which might be caused from our excavation.
You have already received our check for $250.00 which we had forwarded to
you on January 9, 1991 to be used as our application fee. The check in
the amount of $110.00 which we sent you on December 21, 1990 has been
returned to us.
Your prompt processing of this permit will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. McLamb:
Charles H. Gardner
Director
The initial review has been completed on your application for a
mining permit for the Mac Construction Company Mine in Brunswick County.
The following deficiencies were noted in the application:
(1) Over the next 10 years, do you intend to mine the 10.13 acres
at the site or only 4.9 acres? If more than 4.9 acres are to
be mined, excavation, stockpile and other disturbed area
boundaries must be shown on the mine map.
(2) A minimum 50 foot undisturbed buffer must be maintained along
all disturbances and any watercourses.
(3) Based on our Wilmington field office's review comments,
sediment and erosion control measures will be needed along the
southern property lines as a minimum. Please update the mine
map to show proposed measures and provide design calculations
for such.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Beth Studenburg, Assistant Mining Specialist
FROM: Daniel Sams, Wilmington Regional Engineer l
RE: Mine Application Reviews
Beaver Dam Minim Application, Brunswick County - This permit has been
reviewed by our office and we do note some deficiencies. We had trouble
locating the site with the enclosed vicinity diagram, so we request that a
? D.O.T. map be used to locate the site. The proposed mine site has a
steep slope along the southern edge of the existing clearing, that may
tJ`r 7 become a source of sheet flow erosion into Beaver Dam Creek. The site
plan should better reflect site conditions and provide adequate erosion and
sedimentation protection. Our visit to the site assures that no houses are
in the general area of the proposed pit, but the plan submitted does need
to list adjoining properties and clarify their existing use.
TriCounty Sand Pit (Permit No. 85-04), New Hanover County - Mr Eddie Lewis
with Beau Rivage Plantation has requested release of his mining permit
bond. We visited the site and concur that the pit has been adequately
reclaimed to approve the lease of bond.
