Dear John M. Conner:

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 SIT 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 allexisting 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 andfor 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 Slate Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].

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 enclosing the mining permit. .
Please be advised that the NC Mining Act of 1971 was amended on October 4, 2017 by
Session Law 2017-209 which states that all existing mining permits and any newly issued
mining permits are to be issued for the life of site or lease term. Thus, there is no expiration
date for this mining permit. 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 for new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, Session Law 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. 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 conditions of Mining Permit No. 23-15 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining permit does not
supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning regulation or
ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any agency or department of
the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage is 2.0 acres and the amount of the land you are
allowed to disturb at this site is 1.66 acres.
Please review the permit and advise this office at (919) 7334574 should you have any
questions concerning this matter.

MINING PROGRAM
Subject: Mining Permit Application for Asphalt Paving of Shelby, Lawndale Mine, Cleveland
County, North Carolina
We received your letter dated June 30, 2017 (received July 5, 2017), requesting our comments
about the subject project_ Your letter asks that comments be returned to your office by July 21,
2017. Our policy is to have responses to requests for comments mailed within 30 days of receipt
of the request. The quantity of projects we review generally does not allow for a quicker
response. Asking for our response in a shorter period would force us to give priority to some
projects over others; we respond to projects in the order received and will continue to do so. In
the future, if you would like our response by a particular date, please ask for our comments at
least one month in advance. The following comments are provided in accordance with the
provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq.); Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
The subject project involves the application for a mining permit to operate an excavator in the
First Broad River in Cleveland County, North Carolina, to excavate sand. The permit
application describes the affected acreage to be impacted as 0.23 acre for a processing area and
haul road, 0.13 acre for stockpiles, and I.3 acres for excavation.
We are opposed to any in -stream mining. Because of the detrimental efTect of in -stream mining
to aquatic life, the North Carolina Chapter of the American Fisheries Society published a
position paper against the practice in 2002 (previously provided to you on multiple occasions).
In -stream mining, regardless of the method used, can result in numerous detrimental and

long-lasting environmental effects. Some of the more devastating effects to stream
geomorphology are channel incision, lateral erosion, and head -cutting. The alteration of
geomorphic structure may occur due to increased velocity and the decreased sediment load
associated with mined areas. Excavation in the active channel lowers the streambed, creating a
nick point that steepens the channel slope and increases Flow. The nick point migrates upstream
due to increased water speed; i.e., head -cutting. The deposition of sediment at the mine site
results in a sediment deficient flow leaving the site; this, in turn, results in the stream picking up
and transporting channel bed material from the stream reach below the mine site, ultimately
resulting in channel cutting (incision). Channel incision can also cause lateral instability due to
increases in stream -bank heights, resulting in bank failure. Channel instability further increases
the transport of sediment downstream. Head -cutting and downstream channel incision atTect the
stream for great distances and can also affect tributaries.
Effects that may be directly related to the proposed extraction and to the resulting changes in
geomorphology include increased sedimentation and turbidity, higher stream temperatures and
reduced oxygen, lowering of the water table, and decreased wet periods in riparian wetlands.
These physical changes cause the Ioss of riparian habitat; a reduction in primary productivity; a
reduction in food availability; and the clogging of the gills of, and direct damage to, aquatic
organisms. The loss of riparian vegetation will also lead to further bank destabilization and
increased water temperature and will be detrimental to other wildlife that uses riparian areas as
movement corridors. Also, as previously discussed, these effects can extend far upstream and
downstream and can be cumulative. All these adverse impacts can result in shifts in species
composition; a decrease in species diversity and abundance; and, likely, especially perilous
conditions for sensitive and rare species. Stream ecosystems recover slowly from the effects of
sand extraction, and total recovery has been considered improbable.
Accordingly, we believe in -stream mining will likely result in the severe degradation of habitat
in the immediate mined area; cause turbidity problems within and downstream of the mined area,
induce head -cutting upstream and channel instability/incision within and downstream of the
mined area; and likely induce the loss of riparian vegetation. Therefore, we are concerned that
in -stream mining activities will result in the elimination of preferred habitat and a reduction in
the quantity and quality of food resources for aquatic species.
We expect that the proposed operation will result in significant adverse affects to aquatic habitat
and aquatic life. If the Land Quality Section of the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) decides to issue a permit for this mine, we request that the
following conditions be placed on the permit and that the results be sent to us and the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission:
• Aquatic habitat should be surveyed for the entire area (100 meters upstream of
the proposed mine site and 400 meters downstream of the proposed mine site)
to establish baseline conditions. Particular emphasis should be given to
mussels and fishes. Surveyors should be qualified professionals, and sampling
for aquatic species should take place during; periods of normal low flow and
good water clarity.

... _ 0 10
• General habitat measurements should be conducted on the date of sampling.
Reaches should include the entire area of the proposed mine site; upstream of
the proposed mine site, and downstream of the proposed mine site, totaling
three reaches. At a transect within each reach, the following measurements
should be recorded: water temperature (mean column), dissolved oxygen
concentration (mean column), turbidity, bank -full width (as described in
Rosgen 19961), channel width, bank height, and bank erosion. Physical habitat
variables for water velocity distribution, mean depth, substrate composition
(based on the modified Wentworth scale), and in -stream structure types
(cover) should be measured at intervals of four equally spaced points on each
transect. Additionally, riparian buffer widths should be measured per transect.
The number of transects needed should be determined using the information
provided by Simonson et al. (1994)3.
• Fish and mussel surveys should be comprehensive, and accepted sampling
methods should be used to effectively sample both taxonomic groups.
Specimens should be documented for identification confirmation with color
digital photographs in JPEG format. All areas surveyed should be mapped.
• Sampling should take place after each bank -full event (channel -forming flow,
Rosgen 1996) because it is likely that aquatic species would move through or
into the proposed mine site, especially following significant rain events.
• All in -water activities and processing activities that would result in the
discharge of sediment and/or water into the First Broad River should be
prohibited during the spawning season (March 15 through June 30).
• Downstream turbidity and bank erosion rates should be measured periodically
along the sampling transects while mining is in progress and in comparison to
an upstream reference site. The operator should maintain a record of all days
on which mining occurs and the amount and composition of material removed.
• Mined materials should not be stockpiled within the floodplain. Stockpiling; in
this area will cause the materials to be available for transport into the creek
during flood events.

size, and a proposed framework. North American Journal of Fisheries Management 14:607-615.

• Sediment- and erosion -control structures should be maintained to minimize
impacts to the First Broad River. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have
many detrimental effects on aquatic resources, including disruption of the food
chain, destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging the
gills of aquatic species.
Additionally, we strongly recommend that the bond fee for the "mine excavation" portion
of a bond for in -stream mines be increased to the maximum allowed (currently, $5,000
per acre). The repair of the impacts of an in -stream mine will more likely cost in the tens
of thousands of dollars per acre.
We are also concerned about the use of invasive exotic species (fescue, lespedeza, Bermuda
grass) in the reclamation and erosion control associated with this project. While many ofthe
exotic plant species typically used in reclamation and erosion -control efforts have proven
beneficial to some wildlife species, we now know that the invasive nature of these species
outweighs any short-term wildlife benefits they may provide. Exotic species are a major
contributor to species depletion and extinction, second only to habitat loss. Exotics are a factor
contributing to the endangered or threatened status of more than 40 percent of the animals and
plants on the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. It is estimated
that at least 4,000 exotic plant species and 2,300 exotic animal species are now established in the
United States, costing more than $130 billion a year to control. Additionally, the federal
government has many programs and laws in place to combat invasive species (see
www.invasivespecies.gov) and thus cannot spend money on or authorize projects that counter
these efforts. Specifically, Section 2(a)(3) of Executive Order 13112 - Invasive Species
(February 3, 1999) directs federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it
believes are likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the
United States or elsewhere" Despite their short-term erosion -control benefits, many exotic
species used in soil stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they are established, thereby
preventing the reestablishment of native vegetation. Many of these exotic plants are also
aggressive invaders of nearby natural areas, where they are capable of displacing
already -established native species. Therefore, we strongly recommend that only native plant
species be used in association with all aspects of this project.
Protecting wide forested riparian corridors is essential to the protection of water quality and
aquatic habitat. On virtually all projects, we strongly recommend undisturbed forested buffers
for al I intermittent streams and wetlands (minimum of 50 feet wide) and perennial streams
(minimum of 100 feet wide). Further, Executive Order 11988 requires federal agencies (or there
designated nonfederal representative) to consider and protect floodplain functions. Almost all of
the project area is within the 100-year floodplain. We believe the recent examples of Flooding
throughout North Carolina highlight the importance of avoiding the "long- and short-term
impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains' and that we should
"avoid direct and indirect support of floodplain development"
4Lists of invasi ve exotic plants can.be found at hum//www ncwild0ower orz/invwivec/Gst htm and
hilp Ilr,ww. invacive.nrg/easiornLas/ on the Internet.

According; to our records and a review of the information you provided, no federally listed
species or their habitats occur in the project area. Therefore, we believe the requirements under
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of
the Endangered Species Act must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this
identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously
considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this
review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the
identified action.
Because of the detrimental and generally irrecoverable impacts of in -stream mining;, we are
opposed to the issuance of permits for this purpose. Unless these mining; efforts are closely
monitored and adjustments are made (including ceasing operations when necessary), impacts
from such operations within, upstream, and downstream of the mine area could severely alter the
stream ecosystem. We strongly recommend that any permits for in -stream mining issued by the
NCDENR include the monitoring of both upstream and downstream stream reaches, with permit
conditions to adjust or cease operations if any of the aforementioned aquatic impacts are
detected.
Thank you for allowing us to provide these comments. Please keep us informed about the status
if'this project. If we can be of assistance or if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Allen
Ratzlaff of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 229. In any future correspondence concerning; this
project, please reference our Log; Number 4-2-17-467.

MINING PROGRAM
FROM: Michael Bauer Mh
Ground Water Management Branch
Division of Water Resources
SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Application Request for:
Kerry Vess
Buffalo Mine
Cleveland County
Please find attached a copy of the mining permit request for the above referenced project.
The Buffalo Mine located in Cleveland 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 100,000 gallons per day of water, they will need to register their water withdrawals with the
Division of Water Resources on an annual basis. The registration form may be obtained from the
following link:
littp://www.newatcr.org/Pcrmits—and_Registration/Water Witlidrawal—and—Transfer—Registration.
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statute 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.

DATE: 14 June 2017
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Kerry Vess— Buffalo Mine, Cleveland County, North
Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject
permit application. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971
(as amended, 1982) (G.S. 7446 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
Kerry Vesa, the applicant, is requesting a new permit for mining sand in Buffalo Creek. The proposed
mine is located off NC State Route 1926, approximately 0.4 miles northwest of its intersection with State
Highway 150 near Shelby, Cleveland County, NC. The total permitted area requested is 3.0 acres; less
than one acre of the site was previously mined. Sand will be removed from the creek with a
dragline/excavator and deposited beside the creek bed. Sand will be hauled off site by trucks. Water from
storage piles will drain back into the ground by filtering through a permanent sand drain bed. Once the
operation ceases, the stockpile will be removed and the area will be sloped and reseeded.
Buffalo Creek in the Broad River basin is classified as a Water Supply III stream by the NC Division of
Water Resources. There are records for the federally and stale threatened dwarWlowened heartleaf
(Hexacry7is nonijoro) within the vicinity of the site; however, no records of federally or state -protected
species occur within or adjacent to the site.
Should permit be issued, we offer the following recommendations to minimize impacts to aquatic and
terrestrial wildlife resources.
I. Removal of sand/gravel from the sand bar should be accomplished during low river Bows when
the sand bar is dry. This will prevent sedimentation of the river during the removal of materials.
2. Sediment and erosion control structures should be maintained to minimize impacts to the stream
from silt and sediment loads. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental

effects on aquatic resources including disrupting the food chain, destroying spawning habitat,
suffocating eggs.. and clogging the gills of aquatic species.
3. Sediment basins and stockpiles of aggregate materials should be located outside of the river
buffer and floodplain. Stockpiling in this area will make these materials more readily available
for transport into the stream during flood events.
4. Maintain a minimum 100-foot undisturbed native forested buffer between the mining activity and
the stream (except for the one stabilized access area). Riparian buffer areas degraded by previous
mining activities should be revegetated with native trees and shrubs.
5. Non-native plants should be removed from the seeding schedule. Native plants are preferred and
recommended for revegetation and reclamation activities. Korean lespedeza, shrub lespedeza,
crown vetch, and ladino clover are invasive and/or nonnative and should be avoided. NCWRC
recommends an alternative mix of red clover, creeping red fescue, and a grain such as oats.
wheat, or rye. For riparian edges, we recommend planting disturbed banks with native plants like
silky dogwood, red maple, silky willow, tag alder, black willow, sycamore, river birch, or other
native woody species.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit application. Further information on native
plants and free technical guidance on reclamation, please contact me at [phone] or

APPLICATION FOR A MINI PERMIT •
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
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.
The area to be mined is a natural sand pit. During a storm event sand is deposited in the natural bend of the river
creating a sand bar. An excavator is used to remove material from the sand bar which is then stockpiled on the
sand bar and allowed to drain. Once the sand has drained the material is moved by a front end loader to the
stockpile area from which it is loaded on dump trucks to be hauled away. Due to the limited size of the area this
is a daily operation where material removed from the sand bed is hauled off as soon as possible.
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 far 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 map(s) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
The existing operating plan of constructing the safety berm required by MSHA along the sand bar during
operations also seconds as the primary ESC measure has proven to be effective in mitigating any concern and
will be followed as such.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ❑ No ®. If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to
the waters of the State? Yes ❑ No ®. Ifyes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate
all proposed discharge points (along with their method ofstabilization) on your mine map(s).
c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table? Yes ❑ No ®.
If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes ❑ No ❑.
If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Estimated withdrawal rate
in gallons per day: . Locate all existing wells on the mine map(s) that lie within
500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statements made,
including any monitoring well data, well construction data and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate
whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
d. if you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.) from the
Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required to register water
use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day
and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if the operation lies in a capacity
use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? Yes ❑ No Z.
If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the
Division of Air Quality or local governing body.
- 8 -

APPLICATION FOR A MINIIPPERMIT
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
Excessive amounts of fugitive dust will be controlled by wetting appropriate working areas, adjusting
operational activities, controlling traffic volume and speed, or other similar means.
a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-
way. It may be an unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms and erosion &
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
Vegetative buffers have been established between the mining activity and the mining permit boundaries which
will not be disturbed.

$3,000.00 processing fee, complete the notification section requiring notification
of the county manager and all first adjoining landowners within 1000 feet of the
permit boundary, provide copies of the signed return receipts from certified mail
from the notifications and complete the affidavit of notification.
2. Provide an accurate longitude and latitude in decimal degrees to a minimum of
four places.
3. Revise the mine map to clearly show the permit boundary and include the
access roads within the permit boundary. Provide more topographic information.
Show and clearly label the 25 foot undisturbed buffer along the river bank and
include within the permit boundary. Clearly label the buffers along the adjoining
properties, including buffer type and buffer width. Locate cross section A —A".
4. Provide reclamation plan for the site that includes cross sections for final
reclamation. Show areas to be graded and seeded.

FROM: Olivia Munzeq Western Piedmont Coordinator ,/
Habitat Conservation Division
DATE: 27 April 2017
SUBJECT. Mining Permit Renewal Application, Asphalt Paving of Shelby — Lawndale Pit, First
Broad River— Permit No. 23-15, Cleveland County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NC W RC) have reviewed the subject
permit application. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971
(as amended, 1982) (G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
Asphalt Paving of Shelby, the applicant, is requesting a renewal of a. permit for mining sand in the First
Broad River. The total permitted area is 2.0 acres. Sand will be removed from the sand bar withan
excavator, stockpiled on the sand bar and allowed to drained. Once the sand has drained, itwill be moved
by a front-end loader to the stockpile area to be loaded onto dump trucks. After the sand is removed from
the stockpile, the area will be leveled and smoothed, and other areas will be graded and stabilized. The
channel banks will be restored to near natural conditions, as practical, and the site will be rovegetated
according the mining permit. No land disturbing activities will be conducted. Asphalt Paving of Shelby
is requesting the renewal period of 10 years.
First Broad River in the Broad River basin is classified as a Water Supply IV stream by the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources. There are records for the federal species of concern and slate
special concern Broad River spiny crayfish (Canrbarns spicatim) in the First Broad River and Big Knob
Creak. There are also records of the state significantly rare Piedmont shiner(Nolropis sp. cf.
chlorocephalas) in First Broad River.
Should permit be renewed, we offer the following recommendm ions to minimize impacts to aquatic and
terrestrial wildlife resources.
I. Removal of sandlgnrvel from the sand bar should he accomplished during low river flows when
the sand bar is dry. This will prevent sedimentation of the river during materials removal.

2. Non-native plants should be removed from the seeding schedule. Native plants are preferred and
recommended for revegetation and reclamation activities. Bermuda grass, redtop, and species of
fescue and lespedeza are invasive and should be avoided. NCWRC recommends an alternative
mix of red clover, creeping red fescue, and a grain, such as oats, wheat, or rye. For riparian
edges, we recommend planting disturbed banks with native plants like silky dogwood, red maple,
silky willow, tag alder, black willow, sycamore, river birch, or other native woody species.
3. Sediment basins and stockpiles of aggregate materials should be located outside of the river
buffer and tloodplain. Stockpiling in this area will make these materials more readily available
for transport into the stream during flood events.
4. The renewal period for the permit should be no more than five (5) years.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit application. further information on native
plants and free technical guidance from the NCWRC, please contact me at [phone] or

SUB.IBCT: Comments on the Mining Permit Renewal Request for:
Asphalt Paving of Shelby, Inc.
Lawndale Pit
Cleveland County
Please find attached a copy ofthe mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
The Lawndale Pit located in Cleveland 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 100,000 gallons per day of water, they will need to register their water withdrawals with the
Division of Water Resources on an annual basis. The registration form may be obtained from the
following link:
http://www.ncwater.org/Perm its_ and_Regislration/W aler_ Withdrawal _and_Transfer_Registration.
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute G.S. 143-215.221-I. This statute 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 April 1 for the
.previous year.
I f you have further questions regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr
with the Division of Water Resources at [phone] or email him atjohn.ba"@ncdenr.gov.

APPLICATION FOR A MININIPERMIT
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
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.
The area to be mined is a natural sand pit. During a storm event sand is deposited in the natural bend of the river
creating a sand bar. An excavator is used to remove material from the sand bar which is then stockpiled on the
sand bar and allowed to drain. Once the sand has drained the material is moved by a front end loader to the
stockpile area from which it is loaded on dump trucks to be hauled away. Due to the limited size of the area this
is a daily operation where material removed from the sand bed is hauled off as soon as possible.
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 map(s) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
The existing operating plan of constructing the safety berm required by MSHA along the sand bar during
operations also seconds as the primary ESC measure has proven to be effective in mitigating any concern and
will be followed as such.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ❑ No®, if yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to
the waters of the State? Yes ❑ No Z. Ifyes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate
all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map(s).
c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table? Yes ❑ No Z.
If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes ❑ No ❑.
If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Estimated withdrawal rate
in gallons per day: . Locate all existing wells on the mine map(s) that lie within
500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statements made,
including any monitoring well data, well construction data and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate
whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
d. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwatcr, etc.) from the
Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required to register water
use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day
and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if operation lies in a capacity
use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? Yes ❑ No ®.
if yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the
Division of Air Quality or local governing body.
-s-

APPLICATION FOR A MINAPPERMIT
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
Excessive amounts of fugitive dust will be controlled by wetting appropriate working areas, adjusting
operational activities, controlling traffic volume and speed, or other similar means.
5. a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-
way. It may be an unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms and erosion &
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
Vegetative buffers have been established between the mining activity and the mining permit boundaries which
will not be disturbed.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary
or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended, although a wider buffer
may be needed depending on site conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
A twenty five foot buffer will be maintained between the mining activity and mining permit boundaries.
b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities
within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller
undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions, a buffer wider than 50 feet may
be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the
mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).
No land disturbing activities will be conducted. No wetland areas will be impacted by the mining process.
6. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries
during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to l vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and
minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required, unless
technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
Mining activities will not extend close enough to adjoining permit boundaries to cause any landslides or slope
instability.
b. Provide a cross-section on the mine map(s) for all fill slopes (berms, wastepiles, overburden
disposal areas, etc.), clearly indicating the intended side slope gradient, installation of any benches
and/or slope drains (with supporting design information) if needed, and the method of final
stabilization.
c. In excavation(s) of unconsolidated (non -rock) materials, specify the angle of all cut slopes including
specifications for benching and sloping. Crass -sections far all cut slopes must be provided on the
mine map(s).

Broad River Basin
Dear Mr. Dedmon:
Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor
Dee Freeman, Secretary
Your application for renewal of the above referenced mining permit has been approved.
A copy of the renewed permit is enclosed, The new expiration date is June 6, 2016.
The conditions in the permit renewal were based primarily upon the initial application.
Modifications were made as indicated by the renewal request and as required to insure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. 1 would like to draw your particular attention to the
following conditions where minor additions or changes were made: Operating Condition Nos.
6B, 7, 13, and 16.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 2.0 acres and the amount of land
you are approved to disturb is 1.66 acres.
The reclamation bond was calculated for this site using the information submitted on the
mine map dated April 8, 2011 and in the documents associated with your renewal request.
The reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be $1,400.00. The Assignment of
Savings Account currently on file for this site is in the amount of $2,700.00. Therefore, you
may wish to reduce this reclamation bond to the required $1,400.00, or retain the bond in its
current amount.
It has come to our attention that certain waterways in permit application area may be
classified as public trust waters held by the State of North Carolina for the use and benefit of
the people of the state. We are working with the State Property Office and Attorney General's
Office to determine which waterways would be included. Once the determination is made as
to what waters are Public Trust Waters, applicants and permitees may be required to obtain
approval from the State Property Office to mine the bottoms of these waterways.

Ref: NCDENR Land Quality Section letter dated 9 March 2011
NCDENR Land Quality Section visit to the Lawndale Sand Pit on 1 April 2011
Dear Ms. Rodgers:
Our response to the referenced letter will follow the same chronological order that your letter was
written:
1. Yelton Street is a publicly maintained road up to the point designated on the mine
map. Please see the attached letter from the Town of Lawndale for verification.
The following is a brief synopsis of operations at the mine (please refer to the
updated mine map):
a. The actual mine boundary follows the river bank as designated on the mine
map.
b. Due to the natural curve in the river at this point, a sandbar of considerable
size is formed. It is on this sand bar that operations occur, however we take
steps to ensure that we do not violate the 25 foot buffer originating at the
river bank extending onto the sandbar. No mining actually occurs on the
riverbank itself.
c. When the mine is active our first priority is to ensure the MSHA required
vehicle safety berm is in place. This berm is not only constructed for vehicle
safety but also acts as a barrier to keep any runoff from our operations from
returning directly into the river.
d. During operations, a long armed excavator is used to extract sand from the
river.
e. As the material is dipped from the river, it is placed on the sandbar in the
vicinity of the excavator allowing the material to dewater prior to moving it to
the stockpile area.
f. After a significant amount of material has been dipped from the river and
dewatered, a wheeled loader is then used to move the material to the
stockpile area. Material is staged in the stockpile area normally for a period
no longer than one day.

g. The wheel loader is then used to load dump trucks which transport the
material from the mine to the asphalt plant where it is stockpiled long term
and processed for use in hot mix asphalt.
We have revised the mine map as requested during your visit to the mine:
a. The actual RIVER BANK will be designated on the map so the PERMIT
BOUNDARY is more easily identified.
b. The edge of the river will be redesignated as "CURRENT EDGE OF RIVER"
so that the actual size of the sandbar and the actual location of the PERMIT
BOUNDAYIRIVER BANK are more easily indentified.
c. The undisturbed 25 FOOT BUFFER will be "hashed" to make it more easily
identified on the mine map. This buffer is an area actually located on the
sandbar between the PERMIT BOUNDARY/RIVER BANK and the
CURRENT EDGE OF RIVER.
d. The area between the 25 FOOT BUFFER and CURRENT EDGE OF RIVER
is designated on the map as EXCAVATION AREA. No excavation takes
place on the sandbar inside the 25 FOOT BUFFER or within 25 feet of the
PERMIT BOUNDARY/RIVER BANK.
e. The 100 foot buffer outside the mine permit boundary has been deleted from
the map at your request, and since there is no requirement per the regulation
for this boundary to exist, we request that it be stricken entirely from the mine
permit.
We greatly appreciate the visit to the Lawndale Pit by the Land Quality Section. It is our hope that
this visit will clarify the many issues we have encountered during several past permitting cycles.

Dear Mr. Dedmon:
Bevedy Eaves Perdue, Governor
Dee Freeman, Secretary
We have reviewed the renewal your company submitted for the referenced mine site.
However, the following information is needed to continue processing your application:
Is Yelton Road a publicly maintained road? If so, please provide proof. If not,
please explain why the secondary haul road does not extend all the way to Main
Street. If you wish to use Yellen Road for a secondary access and it is not
publicly maintained, please revise the mine map to include the entire road until its
intersection with Main Street within the permit boundary. Revise the affected
acreage table as necessary to account for any additional haul road acreage as a
result of this request.
2. Please clarify your mine plan for this site, It is my understanding that your
intention and your permit allow for the mining of the sand bar in the river.
However, the min map seems to indicate the excavation area beyond the edge of
the river and including the riverbank. Please clarify whether you are mining the
sand bar only, or if you are also mining beyond the sand bar and/or on the
riverbank.

3. Revise the mine map to show all buffers as required by the mine permit,
including those along the riverbank as well as along permit boundaries. Please
refer to Operating Condition Nos. 8C and 13 of mine permit no. 23-15:
a. Operating Condition No. 8C reads, "A minimum 25 foot undisturbed buffer
shall be maintained along the riverbank, except in those minimal areas where
access during the operation is essential (i.e. boat ramp, discharge pipes,
etc.). At such points, stabilizing roots and stumps shall not be removed or
otherwise disturbed on the riverbank.
b. Operating Condition No. 13 reads, "Sufficient buffer (minimum 100 feet) shall
be maintained between any mining related activities and (other than the
centerline of the river) any adjoining property line/permit boundary, right-of-
way, bridge abutment or other structure to protect adjacent property.
Note: These are the existing conditions in your mine permit. All buffers
referenced by the permit must be within the permit boundary (not outside of it).
We will discuss areas of buffer and any necessary revisions to these buffers
during our site visit (discussed below)
4. Revise the mine map to clearly show the sandbar area that is mined. In addition,
please show all areas within your permit boundary which have a riverbank.
These areas should be provided with a buffer (either maintain the existing one or
reestablish) as described in Operating Condition no. 8C of your existing permit.
5. There is still a concern that an additional measure may be needed to contain any
dewatering of the stockpiles. As per your request, I would like to schedule a site
visit in the very near future in order to more clearly evaluate the need for any
additional erosion and sediment control measures at the site. Please contact me
at [phone] at your earliest convenience to schedule a site visit.
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.
In order to complete the processing of your application, please forward two (2) copies of
the requested information to my attention at the following address:

We are returning a new mine map to your section that should accompany this letter. The
corrections you requested have been made. The following changes have been made as was
requested:
1. The haul roads have been clearly designated.
2. The limits of the mine permit are clearly shown.
3. The 25 foot buffer at the river bank and the 100 foot buffer on the land side have been
clearly designated.
4. A cross section of the berms has been added to the map. The berms are used to control
the stockpiles (keep them in place) and control any excess water generated from the
stockpiles. The berms to the west of the stockpile area are permanent. The berm to the
north will be constructed when we are actually on site working the mine. This is the berm
discussed in Mr. Gardner's letter dated 15 November 1995,
5. The excavation area of the mine has been clearly designated.
6. The Affected Land Use Table and Legend have been corrected.
7, The mine permit limit follows the riverbank along the eastern permit limit until it ceases to
exist near the stockpile area.
8. The cross sections of the river have been removed.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

We have reviewed the renewal your company submitted for the referenced mine site.
However, the following information is needed to continue processing your application:
Revise the mine map to clearly label the permit boundary.
2. Revise the mine map to show the haul roads (including the "secondary access" if
it is used) within the permit boundary until its intersection with the nearest state
maintained road. Revise the affected acreage table as necessary to account for
any additional haul road acreage as a result of this request.
3. Provide a legend for any symbols/identifications used on the mine map.
4. Please clarify your mine plan for this site. It is my understanding that your
intention and your permit allow for the mining of the sand bar in the river.
However, the cross sections on your mine map seem to indicate that you include
the sand bar and some of the river bank within your excavated area. Please
clarify whether you are mining the sand bar only, or if you are also mining beyond
the sand bar and/or on the riverbank.

access during the operation is essential (i.e, boat ramp, discharge pipes,
etc.). At such points, stabilizing roots and stumps shall not be removed or
otherwise disturbed on the riverbank.
b. Operating Condition No. 13 reads, "Sufficient buffer (minimum 100 feet) shall
be maintained between any mining related activities and (other than the
centerline of the river) any adjoining property line/permit boundary, right-of-
way, bridge abutment or other structure to protect adjacent property.
Note: These are the existing conditions in your mine permit. We have received
a copy of the letter that was sent to you by Charles Gardner on November 15,
1995. However, field visits have indicated that there are areas along the river in
which a buffer may be maintained. Any areas that have a riverbank should be
provided with a buffer. You may wish to contact the Mooresville Regional Office
at [phone] to discuss these areas or arrange a site visit,
6. Revise the mine map to clearly show the sandbar area that is mined. In addition,
please show all areas within your permit boundary which have a riverbank.
These areas should be provided with a buffer (either maintain the existing one or
reestablish) as described in Operating Condition no. 8C of your existing permit.
7. Revise the mine map to provide appropriate erosion and sedimentation control
measures between the stockpile areas and the river to avoid sedimentation of the
river. Provide construction and maintenance details, as well as calculations, as
necessary for any proposed measures. It appears that, in addition to a berm,
there should be some type of measure in place to handle the dewatering of the
stockpiled material during mining. Also, the stockpile area appears to be placed
to the edge of the proposed excavation area. If the cross sections provided on
the mine map are correct, this would imply that in some areas (where the berm
does not wrap around it) the stockpile is perched above the riverbank, with no
protection between it and the slope down to the river_
8. Provide a construction detail (with dimensions) for the berms onsite.

What type of buffer is being shown on the map? If it is an undisturbed buffer, all the mining activity is occurring within

Zahid,
I visited the site today. Per the request for information, the permittee is still working on
a new mine map and getting a Land Entry Agreement signed. The basin in the photos was used
when they used a dragline (20 years) and is in an undisturbed area. one thing I would
recommend is some temporary measures to be installed whenever mining is occurring. Currently
they just dip and stockpile on the sand bar. No further measures. We should probably wait
to see what is submitted before asking for anything else.

RE: Lawndale Pit
Permit No. 23-15
Cleveland County
Ref: NCDENR Land Quality Section letter dated 1 November, 2010
Dear Ms. Rodgers:
We are currently in the process of revising our mine map and obtaining the Land Entry
Agreement as required by the referenced letter. However, I am contacting you concerning item 1
of the letter.
As we stated during our last permitting cycle, the method of mining at the sand pit consist of a
long armed track hoe, a wheeled loader, and dump trucks. Sand is removed/extracted by the
excavator and stockpiled. The wheel loader loads the dump trucks and the material is then
hauled to our asphalt plant for the production of NCDOT asphalt mixes. That is the extent of the
mining operation which does not include a dragline.
We have not operated a drag line at the Lawndale Pit for at least 20 years. The only indication
that a drag line may have ever been used along the river bank is what the inspector indicated
may be a sediment basin on 13 October 2010. Please refer to pictures 1 through 4 (pictures 1-3
must be viewed together and picture 4 independently). As the pictures clearly define, the area
indicated by the inspector where the basin is located is inside the vegetated buffer area which, as
you know, must remain undisturbed. As you can see in the pictures the area has not been
disturbed for many, many years. If we were operating a drag line from that location along the river
bank, as indicated by the inspector, the area of operation would be void of vegetation and easily
identified.

We do not, nor do not intend to, operate a dragline at the Lawndale Pit. The only equipment used
to excavate sand at the pit is a long armed excavator as indicated in all permit renewals we have
submitted since 1998.

Dear Mr. Dedmon:
Beverly Eaves Perdue, Governor
Dee Freeman, Secretary
We have reviewed the renewal your company submitted for the referenced mine site.
However, the following information is needed to continue processing your application-
1. Please clarify the method of mining (question A3, page 3 of the mine permit
application). Only an excavator and truck are indicated; however, it appears that
a dragline may also be used.
2. Revise the mine map to make it more legible. The "stockpile" and "vegetated
zones" did not show up clearly on the provided copies.
3. Revise the mine map to show the haul roads (including the "secondary access" if
it is used) within the permit boundary until its intersection with the nearest state
maintained road. Clearly label the state maintained road. Revise the affected
acreage table as necessary to account for any additional haul road acreage as a
result of this request.
4. Revise the mine map to show all buffers as required by the mine permit,
including those along the riverbank as well as along permit boundaries. Please
refer to Operating Condition Nos. 8C and 13 of mine permit no. 23-15.

please show all areas within your permit boundary which have a riverbank.
These areas should be provided with a buffer (either maintain the existing one or
reestablish) as described in Operating Condition no. 8C of your existing permit.
6. Revise the mine map to move your stockpiles away from the river. Material
taken off the sandbar at the time of mining should not be piled on immediately
adjacent to the river. The stockpile areas should be moved away from the river's
edge.
7. Revise the mine map to provide appropriate erosion and sedimentation control
measures between the stockpile areas and the river to avoid sedimentation of the
river. Provide construction and maintenance details, as well as calculations, as
necessary for any proposed measures.
B. Provide a Land Entry Agreement (with original signatures) for any landowner of
property covered by this mine permit.
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.

Zahid,
have reviewed the application for renewal for the Lawt dale Pit (23-15). The following are my comments:
(�1. I inspected the site on August 3, 2010
\`..J According to the application, the method of mining is to be excavator and truck. There is a di ngline on the site.
Is this to be used at all for removal of sand from the creek? If noS it should be removed from the site.
3. The reclamation bond worksheet has not been filled out.
4. The landowner listed for this property is Richard S. and Betty L. Hord. There is no access agreement from the
land owner to allow Asphalt Paving of Shelby, Inc. access to mine the site. This needs to be supplied.
A Land Entry form needs to be supplied to allow NCDENR to inspect the site.
The buffer zones need to be shown on the mine map.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

The Lawndale Pit located in Cleveland 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 April ] for the previous
year.

SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal Application, Asphalt Paving of Shelby — Lawndale Pit,
First Broad River, Permit No. 23-15, Cleveland'County
This correspondence responds to your request for our review of the referenced mine permit
modification. These comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Mining
Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-46 through 74.68; 15 NCAC 5) and the North Carolina
General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The mining operation is requesting to renew their permit for a five (5) year period. It is our
understanding that this mining occurs on an active floodplain sandbar or floodplain bench and
that no land disturbing activities occur during May through July, No additional modifications
appear to be indicated for the site.
Providing that the above infomtation is correct, we will not object to the issuance of the permit.
The following recommendations are provided for your consideration as permit conditions:
i
1. Due to potential public trust issues, the permit should be renewed for a period of two (2)
years. i
2. Removal of sand/gmvel from the point bar should be accomplished during low river flows
when the sand bar is dry. This will prevent sedimentation of the river during materials
removal. '
3. Existing natural vegetated buffers should not be dishirbed. During any new land clearing
activities, woody debris (slash or large trees) removed during development of the site
should be placed along the outer stockpile/compost area construction limits in the form of
brush piles and downed logs to provide cover andlnesting habitat for wildlife. These
should be placed so they will not be subject to floodwater disturbances.

4. Should any stream relocation activities become necessary, relocations should use state-of-
the-art bioengineering techniques. Clean Water Act 404 permits and 401 certifications
must be obtained from the US Army Corps of Engineers and the NC Division of Water
Quality prior to any channel relocation. Native riparian plants should be incorporated into
stream relocation. Where practicable, fifty (50) foot undisturbed natural buffers should be
established for intermittent channels and one hundred (100) foot undisturbed natural
buffers should be established for perennial streams.
5. Any stream crossings necessary should provide for aquatic life passage. Bridges are
preferred over culverts and pipes. Culverts 48 inches diameter or larger should be buried a
foot into the streambed. Culverts less than 48 inches diameter should be buried to a depth
equal to or greater than 20% their size to allow for aquatic life passage. These
measurements must be based on natural thalweg depths.
6. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and
maintained until project completion.
7. Non-native plants should be removed from the seeding schedule. Native plants are
preferred and recommended for revegetation and reclamation activities. For riparian
edges, we recommend planting disturbed banks with autochthonous (native) plants like
silky dogwood, red maple, silky willow, tag alder, black willow, sycamore, river birch, or
other native woody species. The attached plant recommendations may be useful for
revegetation activities.

-The Basic Mix can be sown on disturbed sites in the mountains and upper piedmont year round but
spring or fall seeding will result in a better stand. It is important to use all of the components of the Basic
Mix. The cover crop grain & legume provide rapid green -up while the creeping red fescue is developing.
These components can be obtained locally.
- Grains like oats, wheat, and rye may be sold by weight (pounds) or by volume (bushels).
To simplify things, this mix recommends I — 2 BAGS of grain rather than pounds or bushels. With this
mix, I bag or about 50 — 60 Ibs per acre should be adequate for most sites, but where slope or soil
conditions warrant, increase grain amounts to 100 —120 Ibs (use 2 bags).
-The perennial grass will establish within the first year and is the key to good site stabilization. Creeping
and fescue has a wide range of adaptation when used for erosion control along roads and highways; cuts,
fills, and other disturbed areas; and for stream and channel bank stabilization. It thrives in sun or shade,
and is drought -resistant after establishment.
For permanent seeding of harsh dry sites, Hard Fescue Festuca
10 Ibs / acre
brevi ila . track h Ra an be added to the Basic Mix
Application Notes
- Disturbed sites with loose soils can usually be sown without extensive seedbed preparation if seeded as
soon as the other work is completed.
- Where necessary, prepare seedbed with conventional farm equipment (tractor and disk), or the soil
surface can be bladed and then tracked with a bulldozer. Hydro -seeding can be used with the Basic Mix
for slopes where equipment access is difficult,
- Red fescue is adapted to sandy and acid soils so extensive soil amendments are usually not needed. On
poor and subsoil sites, a low nitrogen fertilizer such as 5-10-10 may be required.
- If required, apply any necessary soil amendments, then drill or broadcast the seed mix.
- The larger cover crop grains can be sown separately first and covered lightly to prevent loss of seed
from wildlife such as turkeys and doves.
-The rest of the seed mix should then be sown, but not covered with soil. It is beRer to firm the small seed
into the soil than to try to cover it.
- Culti-pack conventional seedbeds to ensure good seed -to -soil contact Tracked sites will fill in on their
own from rainfall.

Asphalt Paving of Shelby — L dale Pit -Page 4 - ® September 30, 2010
- Apply straw mulch at a minimum of 15 bales per acre to help enhance soil moisture as well as hold the
soil in place until the seed germinates. Use higher rates as site conditions warrant.
- If the site calls for it, natural fiber matting is recommended over plastic matting or matting that contains
strands of plastic that can entrap small animals,
- Monitor the site until the perennial grass component is fully established. Mature stands of the Basic Mix
are short-statured and will not require mowing, The seeded mix should persist for many years, but will
eventually yield to developing successional species.
- Native wildflowers and grasses can be added to the Basic Mix to beautify and diversify the site, and
provide food and cover for wildlife such as deer, turkey, quail, and songbirds. The following lists contain
native species that are reasonably priced as natives go. The easy, proven performers are listed at the top of
the tables, with the more challenging species towards the bottom. These seeds can be ordered from a
reputable seed dealer. For sources, refer to Wildlife Seed List at
htti)://www.ncwildlife.ordWildlife Species Con/WSC WPM.htm .
- Mixes with native seed can be culti-packed or tracked in with a bulldozer; hydro -seeding is apparently
not recommended. Mixes with mainly wildflowers can be sown in early fall.
Note - when adding native Panicum grass seed, sow the mix in late fall, winter, or early spring to subject
the seed to cool, moist soil conditions necessary to break seed dormancy. Sowing during the warmer
months may delay Panicum germination until the following year, and some seed may be lost in the
interim.
- For information on each native species listed here, visit http:///plants.usda.aav/; type in the scientific
name in the search box. Note - adding natives will increase the heightof the resulting stands, providing
good wildlife habitat. Frequent mowing destroys food & cover and is not recommended. Mow once every
few years, in late winter, only if absolutely necessary to remove encroaching woody vegetation.

Re: Renewal of Permit No. 23-15
Lawndale Pit
Cleveland County
Broad River Basin
Dear Mr. Kahn:
In accordance with the requirements of the Mining Act of 1971, we are requesting a five year
renewal of the above referenced mine permit. As part of this request we are writing this letter to
address that the renewal of this permit will not invoke any of the seven denial criteria as listed
under G.S. 74-51 of the Mining Act.
During a mine inspection on 16 November 2009 we were found to be not in compliance with the
operating conditions of the permit. The report stated that we were not in compliance due to the
fact that a berm was not properly constructed or vegetated. In our defense we have a letter from
the Raleigh Office dated 15 November 1995 stating that due to excessive flooding, shallow river
banks and the nature of the operation maintaining established berms and buffers is not practical.
In the next paragraph was the statement that this requirement was stricken from the permit (see
enclosure 1). Since we are in possession of the said letter we have only maintained the required
berms while the mine is in actual operation.
The operation of this mine has had no adverse effect on the groundwater, wildlife, or fresh water
fisheries.
The operation has not, nor will not violate the quality standards of air quality, or the quality of
surface or ground waters. This operation does not constitute a direct or substantial physical
hazard to the surrounding environment, public lands, recreation facilities, or any surrounding
structures or public roads.
In the years of operation, this operation has not posed a substantial threat to increased deposition
of sediment, susceptibility to landslide, or the introduction of acidic water or pollution.
As the operator of the mine, Asphalt Paving of Shelby, Inc. has not been in substantial
compliance of the operating conditions of the existing permit, nor has it had any revocation or
forfeiture of bond related to any violation, conviction, court order or civil fine related to the
operation of this mine under G.S. 64.
The last inspection on 3 August 2010, Mr. Ryan Kormanik of the Land Quality Section found this
operation to be operating in compliance with the Operating Conditions and Reclamation
Conditions of the permit issued.

0
IrI
L
As for the reasons stated above, we find there has been no activity at this operation that would
invoke any of the seven denial criteria for renewal of the permit for an additional five years.
Please find enclosed the necessary paperwork and fees to support our request for a renewal of
this mining permit. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at
704-739-4568.

RE: Grady Ward Complaint
Lawndale Pit
Mining Permit No. 23-15
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Dedmon:
As you will note from the enclosed correspondence dated
November 1, 1995 to Mr. Grady Ward, Mr. Ward has recently contacted
this office and alleged that your company's mining operation has
resulted in increased erosion of his farm and associated drainages.
This office has investigated Mr. Ward's concerns and has determined
that the erosion problems are more likely caused by the natural
fluctuations of the river itself, mainly during periodic flooding.
However, it is suggested that you contact Mr. Ward directly
and discuss this matter with him. Mr. Ward's telephone number is
[phone]. It is hoped that the two of you can reach a
mutually agreeable resolution to Mr. Ward's concerns.
Through our investigation of Mr. Ward's concerns, it was noted
that your company has not been complying with Operating Conditions
Nos. 6.B., 7.A. and 7.B. of Mining Permit No. 23-15. However, it
was noted by Mr. Jerry Cook of our Mooresville Regional Office that
it is not practical for your company to maintain established
vegetated berms and buffers along the river in light of the
excessive flooding, shallow river banks, and the nature of your
operation, in which you excavate sand from the sandbar in the
river.

In light of the above, this office has modified Mining Permit
No. 23-15 to remove these conditions and update the permit to
reflect the Department's current standard conditions for instream
sand dipping operations. A copy of the modified permit is enclosed
for your future reference.
If you do not agree with this modification to your company's
mining permit, you have a right to request a hearing pursuant to
G.S. 74-57 to discuss this matter further.
Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
If you should have any questions on the above, please contact Mr.

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 enclosing the mining permit.
The Conditions of Mining Permit No. 23-15 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 October 29, 2010.
Your. application-for_renewal.of-the above- referenced- mining.permit has been approved.
A copy of the renewed permit is enclosed.
The conditions in the permit renewal were based primarily upon the initial application.
Modifications were made as indicated by the renewal request and as required to insure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. A continuing concern about instream mining has
been expressed by the wildlife agencies. The stream bank disturbance from dragline
operations causes particular concern because of the potential for erosion and
sedimentation and ecological impacts because of the removal of riparian vegetation.
The request for a mining permit that includes use of a dragline is being renewed for a
period of only two years. During this two year period, efforts must be made to restore a
vegetated buffer as required in operating condition #8 where the riverbank has been
disturbed. Because of the streambank destructive nature of dragline instream mining, it
is highly recommended that dragline activities be phased out during the life of this
permit, as instream dragline operations may not be permitted in the future. Also, please
note mining is confined to the permit boundary in the First Broad River.

Dear Ms. Rodgers:
Our response to the referenced letter will follow the same chronological order that your letter was
written:
Yelton Street is a publicly maintained road up to the point designated on the mine
map. Please see the attached letter from the Town of Lawndale for verification.
2. The following is a brief synopsis of operations at the mine (please refer to the
updated mine map):
a. The actual mine boundary follows the river bank as designated on the mine
map.
b. Due to the natural curve in the river at this point, a sandbar of considerable
size is formed. It is on this sand bar that operations occur, however we take
steps to ensure that we do not violate the 25 foot buffer originating at the
river bank extending onto the sandbar. No mining actually occurs on the
riverbank itself.
c. When the mine is active our first priority is to ensure the MSHA required
vehicle safety berm is in place. This berm is not only constructed for vehicle
safety but also acts as a barrier to keep any runoff from our operations from
returning directly into the river.
d. During operations, a long armed excavator is used to extract sand from the
river.
e. As the material is dipped from the river, it is placed on the sandbar in the
vicinity of the excavator allowing the material to dewater prior to moving it to
the stockpile area.
f. After a significant amount of material has been dipped from the river and
dewatered, a wheeled loader is then used to move the material to the
stockpile area. Material is staged in the stockpile area normally for a period
no longer than one day.

g. The wheel loader is then used to load dump trucks which transport the
material from the mine to the asphalt plant where it is stockpiled long term
and processed for use in hot mix asphalt.
We have revised the mine map as requested during your visit to the mine:
a. The actual RIVER BANK will be designated on the map so the PERMIT
BOUNDARY is more easily identified.
b. The edge of the river will be redesignated as "CURRENT EDGE OF RIVER"
so that the actual size of the sandbar and the actual location of the PERMIT
BOUNDAY/RIVER BANK are more easily indentified.
c. The undisturbed 25 FOOT BUFFER will be "hashed" to make it more easily
identified on the mine map. This buffer is an area actually located on the
sandbar between the PERMIT BOUNDARY/RIVER BANK and the
CURRENT EDGE OF RIVER.
d. The area between the 25 FOOT BUFFER and CURRENT EDGE OF RIVER
is designated on the map as EXCAVATION AREA. No excavation takes
place on the sandbar inside the 25 FOOT BUFFER or within 25 feet of the
PERMIT BOUNDARY/RIVER BANK.
e. The 100 foot buffer outside the mine permit boundary has been deleted from
the map at your request, and since there is no requirement per the regulation
for this boundary to exist, we request that it be stricken entirely from the mine
permit.
We greatly appreciate the visit to the Lawndale Pit by the Land Quality Section. It is our hope that
this visit will clarify the many issues we have encountered during several past permitting cycles.

The Town of Lawndale does maintain Yelton Street at the
beginning and the end of said street. The part that is by the river
is not maintained by the town, it is in fact maintained by the said
property owner.
Sincerely,
Tracey Staton
Town Clerk

Ref: NCDENR Land Quality letter dated May 14, 2008
Dear Ms. Wehner:
According to the reference, we have enclosed two photographs of the Lawndale
sand pit. Please refer to each photograph as they are explained in detail.
Photograph No. 1 shows the pit facing northeast. The actual river bank falls to
the right of the white vehicle. This bank is never disturbed. The wide area to the
left of the vehicle #1 is where the actual dipping and stockpiling occurs. This area
becomes flooded during periods of rainfall and because of the natural bend in the
riverbed sand is deposited in this area creating a sand bar. The small berm to the
left of the photo has been constructed as a sediment control measure during
dredging operations and to also met MSHA safety regulations.
Photograph No. 2 shows the pit facing southwest. This photograph shows part of
the haul road on the left where vehicle #2 is located and the small berm indicated
in Photograph #1 is shown on the right. The area in the middle of the photograph
is the actual river bank. During periods of heavy rainfall deposited sand in this
area can reach as high as eight feet. The actual bank is never disturbed.
Enclosure #3 is a copy of the Land Ownership Map. The areas detailed in
Photographs #1 and #2 are indicated on the map.
Asphalt Paving of Shelby, Inc. has used the material dredged from this pit in the
production of asphaltic cement since the late 1960's. This material is an integral
component of our efforts to provide the Department of Transportation quality
asphaltic cement mixtures at a fair price. After reviewing the enclosed
photographs and their explanations, I am positive that we can come to an
agreement concerning the regulation as stated in the reference.

I inspected the mine and reviewed the renewal application. My comments:
1
I. Page 2 A.3: Should the mining method include a dragline as permitted in
previous modifirat:ion?
2. Page 3 A.4.a;; If the depth of the mine is 8' (see cross section map received
with application) this will widen the river.
3. Page 8 C.5.b: The application states a buffer will be provided for the river
bank. There is no buffer on the site and the previous permit does not specify a
buffer along the river. Existing stock piles
are at the river's edge.

Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE:
February 27, 2008
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal Application, Asphalt Paving of Shelby — Lawndale Pit,
First Broad River, Permit No. 23-15, Cleveland County
This correspondence responds to your request for our review of the referenced mine permit
modification. These comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Mining
Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-46 through 74-68; 15 NCAC 5) and the North Carolina
General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The mining operation is requesting to renew their permit for a two (2) year period. It is our
understanding that this mining occurs on an active floodplain sandbar or floodplain bench and
that no land disturbing activities occur during May through July. No modifications are indicted
for the site.
Providing that the above information is correct, we will not object to the issuance of the permit
for a period of two (2) years. If any significant land use modifications are planned, the following
recommendations are provided for your consideration as permit conditions:
1. Removal of sand/gravel from the point but should be accomplished during low river flows
when the sand bar is dry. This will prevent sedimentation of the river during materials
removal.
2. Existing natural vegetated buffers should not be disturbed. During any new land clearing
activities, woody debris (slash or large trees) removed during development of the site
should be placed along the outer stockpile/compost area construction limits in the form of
brush piles and downed logs to provide cover and nesting habitat for wildlife. These must
be placed so they will not be subject tofloodwater disturbances.

Asphalt Paving of Shelby Andale Pit -Page 2 - � February 27, 2008
Should any stream relocation activities become necessary, relocations should use state-of-
the-art bioengineering techniques. Clean Water Act 404 permits and 401 certifications
must be obtained from the US Army Corps of Engineers and the NC Division of Water
Quality prior to any channel relocation. Native riparian plants should be incorporated into
stream_ relocation. Where practicable, fifty (50) foot undisturbed natural buffers should be
established for intermittent channels and one hundred (100) foot undisturbed natural
buffers should be established for perennial streams.
4. Any stream crossings necessary should provide for aquatic life passage. Bridges are
preferred over culverts and pipes. Culverts 48 inches diameter or larger should be buried a
foot into the streambed. Culverts less than 48 inches diameter should .be buried to a depth
equal to or greater than 20% their size to allow for aquatic life passage. These
measurements crust be based on natural thalweg-depths.
5. Stringent erosion control measures, should be installed where soil is disturbed and
maintained until project completion.
6. Native plants are preferred for vegetation and reclamation activities. For riparian edges,
we recommend planting disturbed banks with autochthonous (native) plants like silky
dogwood, red maple, silky willow, tag alder, black willow, sycamore, river birch, -or other
native woody species. The attached plant recommendations may be useful if any re -
vegetation activities are needed for the site's interior.

Piedmont Stormwater Pond and Mine Planting Recommendations
Instead of using the typical fescue grasses or exotic plant species, the following mixtures should be
considered for lower elevation stormwater ponds and mine sites:
Spring/Summer Mixture, May 1 - Sept. 15 Fall/Winter Mixture, Sept. 15 - April 30
Browntop millet
20 Ibs/a
Winter Wheat 120 lbs/a
Kobe lespedeza
20 lbs/a
Kobe lespedeza 201bs/a
Shrub lespedeza
I lb/a
Shrub lespedeza I lb/a
Switchgrass*
5lb/a
Switchgrass* 5lb/ac
Add to fall or spring plantings: `Tioga' Deertongue (Panicum clandestinum) at a rate of 7 lbs. Pure Live
Seeds (PLS) per acre.
$ When possible on slopes less than 3:1 use Switchgrass instead of lespedezas and on slopes greater than 3:l use
Orchard Grass or Creeping Red Fescue. Other native species may be appropriate depending on soil, slope, and
region. Korean lespedeza may be appropriate in colder geophysical areas. We do not recommend Sericea
lespedeza. Although agriculturally used plants are included herein, native plants and warm season grasses are
preferred and recommended over exotic plants.
Add one of the following to the above mixture:
Creeping Red Fescue 5 lbs/acre
Ladino Clover** 5 Ibs/acre
Atlantic Coastal Panic Grass 5 Ibs/acre (PLS)
Alfalfa'"* 5 lbs/acre (requires fertilizer containing Boron)
Lime & fertilize disturbed areas according to NRCS soil test results and follow planting guidelines as appropriate
and necessary. Depending on elevation and region, other native species may be appropriate. Note that mowing
should be limited to late winter or early spring. Mowing should only occur as needed to prevent unwanted tree
growth on a 2-3 year schedule.
The provision of shade around impounded waters can significantly reduce thermal impacts. Trees and
shrubs (I year bare root seedlings) should be planted randomly at a minimal rate of 100 trees per acre on
the top and upper portions of the structure and at a minimal rate of 150 per acre around the normal water
elevation and littoral shelf area. The following list of tree species may assist in providing habitat benefits:
Loblolly Pine*
Red Cedar
Black Gum
American Holly
Dogwood
Hickory
Sumac
White Oak
Willow Oak
Red Maple**
Viburnum
Green Ash
Ironwood
Black Cherry
Persimmon
Water Oak
Spice Bush
Willow (sp)
Serviceberry
Red Oak
Swamp Chestnut
Silky Dogwood
Other species may be utilized depending on site requirements and native plant availability. Pines* should not
exceed 15% of the reforestation. No more than 20% of the tree species will be of a single species. An 80% success
rate is acceptable over five years. Large or fast growing trees like Sycamore and Maple" may not be appropriate
near detention facility dams. Note: Non-native plants included in this list are routinely considered beneficial and/or
agriculturally established non -natives. They have been included as they are readily available commercially and they
do not exhibit many of the negative attributes of other non -natives that tend to spread or inhibit native plant
propagation and survival.
