Subject: Mining Permit s00-35, L&B Mine Permit Modification
TriCounty Rock, Burnsville,Yancey County
To whom it may concern:
TriCounty Rock is applying for a mining permit modification for the L&B Mine(permit No.00-35)
to extract Quartz stone from the property adjacent to the current mine site. Please find attached the
mining permit modification application,supporting documentation and a check in the amount of
$750.00 to cover the cost of review.
The site will also be used for wet screening of the materials utilizing a mobile screening plant
and no large stockpiles will be present as all materials will be removed at the end of each day or the next
day. Overburden and other unused materials will be used to fill in the area near the river to create as
large a stream buffer as is possible
The mining will be performed on a campaign basis and the reclamation will be to leave the
excavated area as a pond. No stormwater permits have been applied for because all runoff from the
affected area will flow into the excavation area. If a stormwater permit is needed one will be applied
for.
If any further information is needed or if any portion of the application needs to be amended, I
can be reached at 828-765-3571 or at my e-mail [e-mail]. Thank you in
advance for your speedy approval of this modification

C.PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the sequence
to the mine map(s).Attach additional sheets as needed.
Once Buffers are marked, mine development will begin with the installation of the soil and
erosion controls as shown on the soil and erosion control map. Once roads have been provided
with ditches,skimmer basins will be excavated to provide a discharge point for the ditches. The
mining will involve the excavation of the rock from the excavation area and loading into trucks,
for separation, utilizing an onsite screening plant. The screening plant is mobile and will be
taken to other locations during certain times of the year. Mining will be performed on a
campaign basis and screened materials will be trucked to a sales yard.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during mining to
prevent offsite sedimentation(include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine excavation(s),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 maps)and
provide typical cross-sectionskonstruction details of each measure.Engineering designs and calculations are required
to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
See attached soil and erosion control details and the attached maps for their
locations.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas.Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers,foresters,agronomists, urban
planners, community officials,engineers,developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists,teachers, students,and specialists in recreation,waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State,and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses.The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm,local, and wider area
planning,onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments(http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/)and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres)or your MRCS State Soil
Scientist(http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances.Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields.A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations,and local agencies.The Natural Resources
Conservation Service(MRCS)has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey,the site for official soil survey information.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area.The map unit descriptions,along
with the maps,can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas.A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils.Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however,the soils are natural phenomena,and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena.Thus,the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes.Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management.These are called
noncontrasting,or similar,components.They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management.These are called contrasting,or dissimilar,components.They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used.Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area,the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each.A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed,and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data.The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements.The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
8

Custom Soil Resource Report
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer,all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition,thickness,and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope,stoniness,
salinity,degree of erosion,and other characteristics that affect their use.On the
basis of such differences,a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series.The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example,Alpha
silt loam,0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes,associations,or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas.Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately.The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar.Alpha-Beta association,0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management.The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform.An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas,or it can be made
up of all of them.Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
