REGAN Secrerar> TRACY DAVIS Da ec !or 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 $50/month 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 Wenner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at (919) 707-9220.

Tracy, After I got back to working on the response to the additional information request letter, I have run into a problem connecting the last approved mine map for Mine Permit 10-30 ( Ike's Mine), and the map I submitted to the Mining Program with what the GIS maps for Brunswick County indicates for the mine site. To get it correct I will need to go back to the site located near Shallotte, review the site and maps in the held, get back with my AutoCad Lady in Greenville to make necessary revisions to the map I submitted to the Mining Program, and then resubmit. I will be out of state next week for a planned vacation with my Son Kyle and Granddaughter Gracyn. Thought I could get it done by this Friday (JulyI Sth) , the extension I asked for which you approved but 1. can't. If you can, please extend the duly 18th extension to Au ust 15th.

Tracy, Near the end of October of 2013, a letter was mailed to Mr.Glen Norwood Williamson requesting additional information regarding request for modifications for the above referenced Mine. The modifications were to revised the mine map to show a lay down area and to show a permitted 2 acre LCID that is located within the mine permit boundary. I put this on the back burner and with the situation going on with my personal life that is still going on, while going through a stack of files, and realized yesterday that I had not responded to the letter requesting additional information. I am working on the response today but the 180 days have passed. By way of this e-mail, I am requesting that the time be extended to this Friday, July 18, 2014. 1 will have the response in by then.

The fact that they are using a surface mounted suction pump which is not able to pump water (loses prime) is very typical of a drought related problem. I wouldn't expect the sand mines to pose a problem at those distances. Nat On Nov 8, 2011, at 4:43 PM, Rodgers, Ashley wrote: Nat, Please see the attached well complaint.

I received the complaint from Mr. John Hankins on behalf of his uncle, who is 105. The address of the home is 322 Big Macedonia Rd, Supply, NC (tax parcel ID no. 16800069). The closest mine is Weldin Todd's Galloway Pit (10-79). However, Mr. Hankins doesn't think that Weldin Todd's pit has been mined in months due to a family dispute. Since there are so many mines in this area, we will probably need to look at several to see which, if any, are causing problems for this well. Would you please: 1) Make a map (using Google earth, terrain navigator, etc.) which shows the property in question and which mines are nearby 2) Fill out the information from the bottom of the well complaint form for any mines which have been active recently. Make a note of any which were inactive and therefore should be ones we can eliminate as having caused a problem. 3) Let me know of any other major water users in the area that you know of... Once we have this basic info, I will forward it to the Division of Water Resources so that one of their hydrogeologists can try to determine whether any mines could be causing the problems with the well.

Jackson, Jr. PO Box 567 Fairmont, North Carolina 28340 RE: Application for the Transfer of Mining Permit Application 10-29 Dear Mr. Jackson: We have received notification from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section of your request to transfer Mining Permit Application 10-29. Attached to the documentation provided as part of the application was reference to Tax Parcels 1370001301 and 1370001605, which we assume to be the subject parcels for the proposed activity. The purpose of this Ietter is to make you aware of the local zoning requirements as they relate to the mining of land in Brunswick County. Tax Parcels 1370001301 and 1370001605 are both zoned Rural Residential (RR). Class I Mining Operations are permissible with a Special Exception from the Board of Adjustment in the RR Zoning District, Class I Mining Operations are defined in the Brunswick County Unified Development Ordinance as follows: "A place where soil or other unconsolidated material (i.e. sand, marl, rock,,fossil deposits, peat, fill or topsoil) is removed to be used off -site, without further on -site processing (i.e. use of conveyor systems; screening machines; crushing; or other mechanical equipment). It does not involve the use of explosives and has an of ected land area of no greater than 20 acres. " Upon reviewing our files, it appears that a Special Exception for the Extraction of Sand for Tax Parcel 1370001302 was granted by the Board of Adjustment on January 28, 1999. We have no record of a Special Exception ever being granted for Tax Parcel 1370001605. Prior to the commencement of any mining activity on Tax Parcel 1370001605, an application for a Special Exception for Class 1 Mining must be received and approved by the Brunswick County Board of Adjustment. Please contact me at 910-253-2035 or via email at hbunchobrunscomet, if you have questions regarding these requirements or the process.

However, please note the following regarding your application: A recent field inspection revealed that the areas marked "area for release and reclamation" on the mine map are not yet releasable. Therefore, the entire permitted area must be transferred to you. The reclamation bond must also take into account the affected acreage of this complete permitted area. Once these areas are considered releasable by our field staff, you may request release of those areas from your permit. At the time of their release, you would also be able to reduce your bond. Please note, the Land Quality Section may request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application review progresses. The reclamation bond has been calculated using the information submitted in the renewal application. The reclamation bond for this site would be $25,000.00. The calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the new bond will be required prior to approval of this renewal and transfer request. 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 1612 Mail service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 - Telephone 919-733-4574 / FAX: 919-733-2876 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27604 - Intemet:hftp://www.dlr.enr.state.nc.usipagesAandquaiitysecdon.htmi An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper • 9 Certified Mail Mr. Jackson Page 2 bond.

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 A�nril 1 for the previous year.

Edwards Division of Land Quality FROM: Bennett Wynne/,* Habitat Conservation Program LMAR�J2001 _L DENR LAND QUALITY SECTION DATE: March 1, 2001 SUBJECT: Mining Permit Modification Request for Weldin Todd Weldin Todd Mine, near Supply, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the subject request. A site visit was made on April 5, 1999 for the original permit application. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.) and the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-76 et seq., 15 NCAC 5). We appreciate the measures heretofore taken to avoid impacts to 404 wetlands at the site. 1t is our understanding site wetlands are now delineated and the proposed 12-acre pit expansion would leave a 25 ft. to 75 ft. undisturbed buffer adjacent to them. Consistent with our April 15, 1999 comments, we recommend that the undisturbed buffer be a minimum of 50 ft. in width and ask that the modification be so conditioned. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this modification request. if you need to discuss these comments or need additional assistance, please call me at (252) 522- 9736.

Box 27687 Raleigh, NC 27611 Re: Modification of mining permit # 10-29 (attached) Dear Ms. Wehner: The original application was for 25 acres, however some questions came up about the 404 fine on this parcel of land, so the land area was reduced to 13 acres until the 404 line could be established on the ground. The 404 line now has been established, therefore I would like to obtain permission to disturb the additional 12 acres that was applied for in the initial application of 25 acres. The area to be disturbed as identified on the enclosed map has 25 feet to 75 feet or more area of undisturbed buffer between the 404 line and the area to be disturbed. I spoke with you about this site some months ago in matters of the 404 line as related to the Army Corps of Engineers signing off on this map. The Army Corps work load is so great in this area that they are unable to visit each site unless a permit is required. However, a soil scientist from Land Management flagged the 404 Ene and has signed off on the map. If I can be of any assistance please call.

Box 2105 Shallotte, North Carolina 28459 Re: Weldin Todd Mine Brunswick County Lumber Basin Dear Mr. Todd: The'application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the required security to cover this application, I am unclosing the mining permit. The conditions of Mining Permit No. 10-29 were based primarily upon information supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on July 8, 2009. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit does = supersede local zoning regulations. The responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations lies with you. As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 25 acres and the amount of land you are approved to disturb is 13 acres. Please review the permit and notify this office at (919) 733-4574 of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit. Sincerely, Tracy E. Davis, P.E.

Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-1188, 919-733-3391 Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: Susan B. Edwards Division of Land Quality FROM: Bennett Wynne A) Habitat Conservation Program DATE: April 15, 1999 SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Weldin Todd - Weldin Todd Mine, end of SR 1448 near Supply, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the subject application. A site visit was made on April 5, 1999. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401., as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.) and the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-76 et seq., 15 NCAC 5). Mr. Weldin Todd is requesting a permit to mine sand from a 25 acre tract. Most of the acreage is on a sand hill vegetated primarily with longleaf pine and wire grass, but the back side of the property slopes down toward Middle River Swamp and contains inclusions of pocosin-like vegetation. Pocosins provide good forage and cover for black bears. These wetlands also retain and filter stormwater. The applicant visited the site with us and we informed him that the back side of the property may contain jurisdictional wetlands. Mr. Todd expressed a desire to avoid contacting the Army Corps of Engineers if this was possible. We said if a map could be supplied showing wetland soils did not exist at the site, there would be t . Weldin Todd Mine 0N • 4/ 15/99 little need to contact the Corps. Mr. Todd's agent, Mr. Bobby Long PLS, subsequently mailed us a copy of the Brunswick County Soil Survey snap showing a majority of the parcel being in Blanton (BnB) type soil and the remainder in Leon (Lo) type soil. We then obtained a copy of Brunswick County's hydric soils last from the Brunswick Soil & Water Conservation District office in Bolivia. Leon soil is included on Brunswick County's list of hydric soils. This tells us there is considerable potential for wetlands to exist on the Leon portion of the tract. Therefore, we recommend that the applicant pursue 1 of 2 options; 1. Contact the Corps or a qualified consultant to delineate wetlands on the tract. Avoid wetlands during mining and maintain a 50 ft. buffer around them. OR... 2. Mine only the Blanton soils on the tract. Thank you for the opportunity to application.
