SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Renewal/Modification Request for:
E.R. Lewis Construction Co., Inc.
Hill Pit
Lenoir County
The Hill Pit located in Lenoir County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on
ground water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. However, if the mine starts
to withdraw 10,000 to 100,000 gallons per day (gpd) of water, they will need to register their
water withdrawals Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) program and if this mine
starts to withdraw 100,000 gpd or more of water, they will need to obtain a CCPCUA water
withdrawal permit.
A Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) water withdrawal 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, Duplin, Edgecombe, Greene, Jones, Lenoir,
Martin, Onslow, Pamlico, Pitt, Washington, Wayne, or Wilson County.
