Dear Douglas B. Huffman:

This letter is to advise you of recent amendments to the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 which impact the
permit term of your existing mining permit. Pursuant to the passage of House Bill 56, which became law on October 4,
2017 as SL 2017-209, all existing mining permits and any newly issued mining permits are to be issued for the life of site
or for the duration of the lease term. The "life of site' means the period from the initial receipt of a permit for the operation
until the mining operation terminates and the required reclamation is completed.
Considering the above, this letter hereby modifies your existing mining permit to remove all references to the prior
expiration dale to convert your permit to a life of site or lease permit effective immediately. No action is required on your
part for this modification to be effective. Please attach this letter to your existing mining permit for future reference. The
mine name and permit number on the permit document, and all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained
therein, shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS §74-51 and GS §74-52 still apply to all new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, SL 2017-209 also enacted a new annual mining
permit operating fee of $400 per mining permit number. By statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be
submitted to this office by December 31, 2017 — see the attached Invoice to remit the initial annual fee payment by this
deadline. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by July 1 of each year with the required
Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS §74-55. Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a
$501month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions andler revocation of your mining permit.
Lastly, pursuant to GS §74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from $500,000 to $1 million. Any
adjustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this office or addressed during your next requested permit action
unless you contact this office with a written request to have your bond reevaluated.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning regulations. The
responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations remains with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions on the above, please contact Ms. Judy
Wenner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at [phone].
Sincerely,

RE: Huffman Pit#2
Mining Permit No. 18-08
Catawba County
Catawba River Basin
Dear Mr. Huffman:
January 7, 2015
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
We have reviewed the renewal request you submitted for the referenced mine site.
In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with
GS 74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the additional or revised
information in accordance with the following comments:
1. Basin design for mining permits requires the basin must pass a 25 year 24 hour
storm event. Please revise the basin calculations for the 25 year 24 hour storm

SUBJECT: Comments on the Mining Permit Renewal Request for:
Huffman Grading
Huffman Pit#2
Catawba County
Plcase find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal request for the above referenced project.
The Huffman Pit#2 located in Catawba 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. 143-215.221-I.
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 surlrace water from one river basin
to another river basin to register and update their water transfers. Water withdrawal registrants most
complete the aumual water use reporting form by April I for the previous year.

LAND QUALITY
MINING PROGRAM
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal for Huffman Grading, Huffman Pit #2 — Permit No. 18-08,
Catawba County, North Carolina.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject
permit application and we are familiar with the habitat values of the area. 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).
The applicant is requesting a renewal of their permit for mining dirt. The total permitted area is
29.92 acres. The applicant indicates the operation does not discharge fresh or waste water from the site.
A minimum 50-footundisturbed buffer will be maintained along streams and wetlands. The reclamation
plan includes grading and re -vegetating the site with the approved seed mix. An unnamed tributary to
Henry Fork in the Catawba River basin flows through the site.
Should the permit be renewed, we offer the following recommendations to minimize impacts to
aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.
1. Maintain a minimum 100-foot undisturbed native, forested buffer along perennial streams, and a
minimum 50-foot buffer along intermittent streams and wetlands. Maintaining undisturbed,
forested buffers along these areas will reduce impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources,
water quality, and aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the site. We request that
sediment and erosion control structures be located outside of these buffers.
2. Consider using seed mixtures that are beneficial to wildlife (e.g., native warm season grasses) in
the reclamation plan. An exact seeding mixture would need to take into account soil types,
moisture, pH, and degree of slope of areas to be stabilized. Additionally, for relatively shallow
sediment basin reclamation, we recommend these areas be reclaimed as wetlands where
practicable. We refer the applicant to Danny Ray, District Wildlife Biologist at [phone]
for additional information and ideas on reclamation for wildlife.

Mine Permit Renewal
Dear Ms. Wehner:
DEC 08 2fl14
1�1,��D btu.' ,�.I ^ -.•
Please find enclosed and original and five copies of the Mine Map, Reclamation Plan, Detail
Drawings and Mining Permit Application for Permit Renewal. A Check is enclosed in the amount
of $1,000.00 for payment of the required processing fee. This application requests that the permit
be renewed for 10 years. We trust you will concur that this application fully complies with the
requirements of the North Carolina Mining Act.
The proposed changes to the mine permit maps are associated with upgrading the previously
approved sedimentation and erosion control measures related to the proposed sediment riser basin
43. The basin has been redesigned as a skimmer basin with the required surface area, volume and
skimmer size.
In addition, the following revisions for the mine permit renewal have also been made:
• Updated the mine maps with current aerial topography
• Updated the names of adjacent property owners
• Updated the location of FEMA flood hazards area
• Updated the acreage chart to list the acreage of mine excavation, stock pile and sediment
ponds
• Updated the location of erosion control symbols based on the installation or removal of
erosion control measures on the mine site
• Added construction details for the skimmer basin

DATE: March 20, 2012
SUBJECT: Bond Cancellation Notice
Mining Permit No. 18-08
Huffman Pit No. 2
Joe E. Huffman (deceased) and Douglas B. Huffman
Catawba County
On February 17, 2012, we received the subject bond cancellation notice from the Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland informing the Division of Land Resources that the bond will be
canceled. The official date of the bond cancellation is April 17, 2012. A letter was sent to Mr.
Douglas B. Huffman and Ms. Lisa L. Schumacher of Fidelity and Deposit Company of
Maryland telling Mr. Huffman to reclaim the site or replace the reclamation bond immediately.
On February 7, 2012 and February 23, 2012, inspections were conducted by Mr. Ryan
Kormanik of the Mooresville Regional Office. The inspection revealed the reclamation of the
site has not been completed as required by the mining permit.
To date, this office has not received a replacement bond to cover the outstanding. reclamation
at this site. I have included a copy of the Bond Cancellation and Forfeiture Notice and
corresponding signed return receipts from certified mail, Mine Inspection Reports, Mining
Permit No.18-08, and the surety bond pertaining to this situation for your review and use.
We respectfully request your assistance in obtaining the funds needed to finish reclamation of
this site through bond forfeiture action. The case number is LQM-12-003. Please contact me

Ms. Lisa L. Schumacher, Esq.
Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland
Surety Service Center
1400 American Lane, Tower 2, Floor 9
Schaumburg, Illinois 60196
This office has received notification of Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland's
intent to cancel Joe E. Huffman and Douglas B. Huffman of Huffman Grading, Inc.'s
$85,100.00 mine reclamation bond (Surety Bond No. 30525484). The effective date of the
bond cancellation is April1.7, 2012.
Please note that if the bond is not reinstated or replaced by March 18, 2012, the mining
permit will be automatically revoked (G.S. 74-50(c)). Thus, all mining activities must cease
and the entire mine site must be completely reclaimed. Should any further mining activities
occur at the site after this date, such activities will be considered mining without a permit and
subject to further enforcement action, such as civil penalties and injunctive relief.
As a surety is required to maintain the validity of the mining permit, please arrange to
substitute this bond. I am enclosing another surety form, an assignment of savings account
form and an irrevocable standby letter of credit form, any of which may be used to replace the
existing surety.

outstanding reclamation obligations have been met at the site.

reclamation of the site has not commenced and is proceeding in a timely manner by this
deadline, this matter will be referred to the Attorney General's Office for initiation of bond
forfeiture proceedings under G.S. 74-56(d) to ensure proper reclamation of the mine site. In
addition, failure to address the terms of this Notice may result in the assessment of civil
penalties and/or injunctive relief against the permittee.

Ashley,
Thinking about the situation an NOD probably is the way to go. The area outside the limits of disturbance is on the
upstream side of basin 2 (a couple of acres). The other issues are mainly maintenance items. I did not initially know that
there was a NOD for mines (again in the sediment mode). I do not have a problem with going with a NOD and giving the
owner time to do what it needed. I spoke with an employee of Huffman Grading this morning on a different site and he
told me that all kinds of people go on the site and get dirt, mainly the City of Hickory, without doing any repair work if
needed. I did let him know that it doesn't matter who does the damage to the measures, it is Huffman Grading which
is responsible for the repairs. This is basically a large borrow area, but since many people use the site, they got the
mining permit. I will be back in the office at 7 on Friday if you want to call me and we can discuss further.

Ryan,
We are reviewing this NOV and are trying to decide if an NOD should be sent first or if we should jump straight to an
NOV.
However, we need a little more clarification on the disturbance around Sediment Basin 42 (where you say they have
gone outside of the limits of disturbance). Can you be more specific about exactly what the disturbance is? Is the basin
just in the wrong place? Do you have any other pictures of this area (esp. any that would show the creek as a reference

Thanks for any additional info you can give.

1) Operating Condition 3A: Sufficient buffer (minimum 50 foot undisturbed) shall be
maintained between any affected land and any adjoining waterway or wetland to
prevent sedimentation of that waterway or wetland from erosion of the affected land
and to preserve the integrity of the natural watercourse or wetland.
The berm south of sediment basin 1 has been cut and appears that equipment has
been traveling through the cut. The buffer around sediment basin 2 has been
disturbed. Sufficient buffer was not maintained between affected land and adjoining
waterway.
2) Operating Condition 4A: Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to
diversions, earthen dikes, check dams, sediment retarding structures, rip rap pits, or
ditches shall be provided in the initial stages of any land disturbance and maintained
to prevent sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake,
wetland or natural watercourse in proximity to the affected land.
Erosion and sediment control measures were not installed and maintained
according to the mine map received by the LQS on November 16, 2004.

3) Operating Condition 413: Mining activities, including the installation and
maintenance of the approved sediment basins and associated diversion channels,
shall be conducted as indicated on the application and supplemental information
received by the Land Quality Section on September 14, 2004 and the mine maps

RE: Huffman Pit # 2 (18-08)
Ryan and 2ahid,
I've glanced over this draft NOV and have a few comments:
On the inspection report
913 — Need to explain why they are not in compliance with each operating condition listed (similar to what you have to
do in the NOV). Each OC needs an explanation of the problem.
#16-
1) Don't just ask for a revised map. If they are mining outside of their limits, they must immediately reclaim
that area or they need to apply for a modification request (including fee appropriate fee and paperwork, maps)
• 3) Instead of "changes" to basin 2—can we be more specific, or can we lust say "Install basin 2 as per the mine
maps received by the LQS on November 16, 2004"? Or... could this be lumped in with the generic request to
install all E&SC measures as per the mine map received by the LQS on Nov. 16, 2004?
• 6) Please explain what you mean that slopes are not being stabilized "per the approved plan." The revegetation
plan approved in their permit is not on the approved mine maps — it's spelled out in Reclamation Condition No.
3. If they need to have these slopes stabilized, why are we not citing them for RC #37
• 7) Why are we putting this down as a corrective action if we aren't citing operating condition Ii The mine
maps don't require the permanent markers, but OC#5 does. if you want this cited, please add OC#5 to the fist of
conditions being violated on the inspection report.
Just a general note — I wouldn't be saying "as per the approved plan" on the inspection report and NOV. That's
more E&SC language. If you want something Installed (a basin, etc.), say it should be installed "according to the
mine maps received by the Land Quality Section on November 16, 2001 This is how it's written in the mine
permit. (Or, substitute the correct date for whatever features you are referencing)
Also, with the pictures for the NOV, please send a brief description/locator for each so that we know what each picture
is supposed to represent. I think I can tell which conditions these go with, but it is helpful to have a reference.
On the NOV itself:
1) Take the NOV off the letterhead. Anytime you send a mining NOV here, please don't put it on the letterhead.
2) Again— just correct some of the language,including"as per the approved plan." Make sure that everything
mentioned in the NOV is also mentioned in the inspection reports. For instance, the diversions mentioned in the
NOV under OC413 are never mentioned in the inspection report. Filling in the explanations of the violations of
the operating conditions on the inspection report should help with this.
3) Make any other corrections necessary as described above. For instance, if you want "install permanent
markers" as a corrective action, you need to cite OC#5.
If you have any questions or need to discuss, please call me.
Thanks!

Catawba River Basin
Dear Mr. I-lff rem:
On April 25, 2011, an inspection of the subject mine was Performed by Ryan Kormanik of
this office. Several deficiencies were observed that require your prompt attention.
The deficiencies discovered and the necessary corrective actions are as follows:
Operating Condition#3A: Sufficient buffer shall be maintained between any affected land
and anv adjoining waterways. The berm south of sediment basin I has been cut and it appears
that equipment has traveled through this cut all the way to the adjacent unnamed tributary.
Sufficient buffer was not maintained between affected land and adjoining waterway.
Immediately rebuild the berm adjacent to sediment basin No, I and vegetate the undisturbed
buffer area.
Operating Condition # 4A, 413 and 4C: Adequate mechanical barriers are to be provided
and maintained. Mining activities, including the installation and maintenance of the approved
sediment basins and associated diversion channels, shall be conducted as indicated on the
application. All drainage from the affected areas shall be diverted into the upper end of the

basins to increase flow distance and prevent short circuiting. Erosion and sediment control
measures were not installed and maintained as per the mine map received by the LQS on
November 16, 2004. Immediately install all erosion and sediment control measures according
to the mine map (including, but not limited to, sediment Basin No. 3, the construction
entrance, all diversion ditches), and complete the installation of Basin No.2 as described on
sheet 2 of the mine map. Currently the flow from Basin No. 2 is bypassing the perforated
riser and exiting through an unprotected pipe directly into the unnamed tributary. Remove
all accumulated sediment from Basins No. I and 2.
Operating Condition P 5: Install permanent boundary markers at the she on 100-foot
intervals unless the line of sight allows for larger spacing intervals- -there does not appear to
be adequate marking of the mine permit boundary at the site.
If the previously described deficiencies are not corrected within 15 days following your
receipt of this Notice, this matter may be referred to the Director, Division of Land Resources,
Department of Enviromnent and Natural Resources, for the issuance of an official Notice of
Violation in an effort to secure compliance at the site.

RE: Huffman Borrow Pit #2

Dear Ms. Werner:
I have enclosed the response to your comments dated 13 October 2004. This includes two copies
each of the revised basin calculation and project map.
As requested, the dimensions of the sediment basins yet to be constructed have been calculated using
a more conservative C-value to determine the value for peak flow. Doug Miller of the Mooresville
office has agreed to accept calculations using a C-value of 0.40 for a 25 year storm event along with
basin frap efficiency calculated based on a 10 year storm event. I have updated the project map to
reflect the revised basin dimensions.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may provide further information or assistance.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Huffman:
Michael F. Easley, Govemor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
We have reviewed the renewal request your company submitted for the above
referenced mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue processing
your application:
The C-values for the basin design are too low. Please submit revised calculations for the
basins that have not yet been installed. C-values of .45 to .0 are more appropriate. Revise
the basin dimensions as appropriate.
The reclamation bond has been calculated using the information submitted on the
erosion control plan dated September 10, 2004. The reclamation bond for this site would be-
$85,100.00. The calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the new bond or
balance ($16,000.00) will be required prior to approval of this request.
For your convenience, 1 have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings
account form and irrevocable standby letter of credit form for your use in securing the required
bond. The name on the security must be the same as the name appearing on the application
for a mining permit, i.e., Joe E. Huffman and Douglas Huffman. in addition to one of these
alternatives, you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.

Attached you will find concert from VQ and AQ antl CT'a latest inspeciton
report. I have reviewed the calculations and the C values are very lox
for the basin design. They are using 0.2 for the disturbed area and 0.4
for houses etc. The unimproved raw disturbed area should me about the
same s pavement sift, the tight clays In this area and the excavating
into the lower horizons of soft.
The buffer around the area should stay an undisturbed buffer.

SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal Request, Huffman Pit 9 2, Permit No. I8-08, Catawba
County
This correspondence responds to your request for our review of the referenced mine permit
renewal. 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 of sect).
The permittee is requesting renewal of their existing permit without any modification. No
jurisdictional waters are indicated to be present. Standard mine revegelation practices are
indicated.
Based on our review of the mine renewal submittal, we will not object to the renewal providing
the following conditions are included in the permit:
I. 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.
2. Should any stream impacts or stream relocation activities become necessary, relocations
should use stale -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. 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.
3. 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.
4. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and
maintained until project completion. if appropriate for downstream aquatic habitat
protection, sediment and erosion control measures should adhere to the design standards
for sensitive watersheds (15A NC AC 4B .0124).
5. Native plants are preferred for revegetation and reclamation activities. Please see the
attached plant recommendations.
We recommend that the mine operation consult with a professional North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission biologist to further discuss mine planting schedules and reclamation
activities. Wildlife biologist, Jack Mason can be reached at 828/396-5363. Additional planting
suggestions and plant supply sources may be obtained from Stewardship biologist, Elizabeth
Hughes at 828/651-8380. Any channel relocations and riparian plantings should be planned and
constructed by a company having professional bioengineering stream restoration training and
experience within the state of North Carolina.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Huffman Pit # 2 Renewal 3 40September 27, 2004
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
20 Ibs/a
Shrub lespedeza
1 lb/a
Shrub lespedeza
I Ib/a
Switchgrass*
5lb/a
Switchgrass*
5lb/ac
Add to fal I 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: I 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. Native plants and warm season grasses are preferred over exotic plants.
Add one of the following to the above mixture:
Creeping Red Fescue 5 lbs/acre
Ladino Clover** 5 Ibslacre
Atlantic Coastal Panic Grass 5 lbs/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 (1 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
Hickory Sumac
Viburnum Green Ash
Water Oak Spice Bush
Swamp Chestnut
Black Gum
American Holly
White Oak
Willow Oak
Ironwood
Black Cherry
Willow (sp) Serviceberry
Silky Dogwood
Dogwood
Red Maple**
Persimmon
Red Oak
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.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
D. RECLAMATION PLAN
Describe your intended plan for the final reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate
the sequence and general methods to be used in reclaiming this land. This must include the method of
reclamation of settling ponds and/or sediment control basins and the method of restoration or establishment
of any permanent drainage channels to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution. This
information must he illustrated on a reclamation map and must correspond directly with the information
provided on the mine map(s). In addition, design information, including typical cross -sections, of airy
permanent channels to be constructed as part of the reclamation plan and the location(s) of all permanent
channels must be indicated on the reclamation map.
During excavation operations in both Phases I and II, once the outside slope exceeds 15 feet high, the
denuded slope will be seeded and mulched. When the mining operation of each phase is complete (planned
bottom elevation is reached), the area will be fine graded and seeded and mulched. The site will remain as
pasture land, but future development could include single or multi -family housing.
2. Is an excavated or impounded body of water to be left as apart of the reclamation? Yes No X .
If yes, illustrate the location of the bodv(s) of water on the reclamation map and provide a scaled
cross-section(s) through the proposed body(s) of water. The minimum water depth must be at least 4 feet,
measured from the nonnal low water table elevation, unless information is provided to indicate that a more
shallow water body will be productive and beneficial at this site. Will the body(s) of water be stocked with
fish? Yes No . If yes, specify species.
Work areas will be sloped for positive drainage to erosion control devices at all times. Erosion control
devices such as sediment ponds and diversion ditches will be removed once the mining activity is complete
and all of the disturbed upstream areas are permanently stabilized. Since Sediment Basin 1 is located within
a permanent drainage course, a permanent drainage pipe with a discharge outlet will be installed to avoid
ponding.
3. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all completed excavations in rock
including what kind of permanent barricade will be left. Acceptable permanent barricades are appropriate
fencing, large boulders placed end -to -end, etc. Construction details and locations of all permanent
barricades must be shown on the reclanation rnap.
No rock excavation is anticipated during this operation.

4. Indicate the method(s) of reclamation of overburden, refuse, spoil banks or other such on -site mine waste
areas, including specifications for benching and sloping. Final cross -sections and locations for such areas
must be provided on the reclamation mctp.
There is little refuse or spoil banks expected to remain upon completion of the mining operation. However
any remaining undergrowth, trees, stumps, or other vegetative debris will be disposed of by the owner at an
approved off -site location.
5. a. Describe reclamation of processing facilities, stockpile areas, and on -site roadways.
During excavation operations in both Phases I and It, once the outside slope exceeds 15 feet high, the
denuded slope will be seeded and Mulched. When the mining operation of each phase is complete (planned
bottom elevation is reached), the area will be fine graded and seeded and mulched.
While no roadways will be left on the site, the crossing upstream from Sediment Basin 2 will remain.
b. Will any on -site roadways be left as part of the reclamation? Yes No X . Ifyes,
identify such roadways on the reclamation map curd provide details on permanent Glitch line stabilization.
6. Describe the method ofcontrol ofcontaminants and disposal of scrap metal, junk machinery, cables, or other
such waste products of mining. (Note definition of refuse in The Mining Act of 1971). No off -site
generated waste shall be disposed of on the mine site without prior written approval from the NC
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section and either the Division of
Waste Management (DWM) or local governing body. If a disposal permit has been issued by DWM
for the site, a copy of said permit must be attached to this application. All temporary and permanent
refuse disposal areas must be clearly delineated on the mine maps) and reclamation map, along with a list
of items to be disposed in said areas.
Since the purpose of this project is to excavate dirt for use on local construction projects, there will be none
of the usual waste products associated with mining activities, except for vegetative debris. Rotted matcrial
may be spread with top soil. All remaining vegetative debris will be disposed of by the owner at an
approved off -site location.

CELL NO.1 OF PHASE 11 W{LL YIELD ABOUT 60,000
CY AND THE TOTAL OF
PHASE %i SHOULD BE ABOUT 1,000,000 CY.
NITH REFERENCE TO THE EROSION CONTROL PLAN,
PHASE I AND PHASE 11 AR�
SEPARATED BY A RATHER LARGE DRAINAGE WAY OR
RAVINE' THE PLAN DEP1C0S
THIS RAVINE TO REMAIN UNDISTURBED AND BUFFERED
WITH A BERM SYSTEM,
SHAPED AS EXCAVATION PROGRESSES, SIMILAR TO
THE 3:1 BACK SLOPES.
THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY CARRIES
AN UN -NAMED CREEK DRAlNTN(-,�
TO THE HENRY FORK, AND INCLUDES A WIDE FLAT
100 YR FLOOD PLAIN' THE
PROJECT PROPOSED TO LEAVE A BUFFER AREA TO
THE CREEK WITH ONLY THE
SILT BASIN STRUCTURES PENETRATING THE BUFFER,,
EROSION CONTROL FOR THE SITE IS RELATIVELY
SIMPLE. BY PLACING A
FAIRLY LARGE PIPE -RISER SILT BASIN SYSTEM
IN THE ABOVE -MENTIONED
RAVINE, ALL RUNOFF AND SEDIMENT CONTROL IN
PHASE I CAN BE HANDLED AT
THE ONE PO1NY. OF COURSE THE DLRM SYSTEM
ALONG !HE hAV1NE AND
TEMPORARY DIVERSION DITCHES WILL DIRECT RUNOFF
TO THE BASIN' WHEN
PHASE I IS ABOUT COMPLETED, A SILT BASIN WITH
THE PIPE RISER SPILLWAY
WILL BE BUILT IN A SMALL RAVINE IN PHASE 11.
A8AIN DIVERSlON DITCHES
WILL BE USED TO DIRECT THE RUNOFF'
@TTH THIS BORROW PIT OPERATING ONLY FOR THE
NEEDS OF THE OWNER, THE
LIFE OF THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND
TO ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT
YEARS' AN ESTIMATED SCHEDULE USED IN THE
MINING PERMIT APPLICATION IS
3 YEARS FOR PHASE I AND 4 YEARS FOR PHASE
II.,
WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED AND THE SITE
IS TOTALLY STABtLIZED, THE
TWO SILT BASINS MAY RE REMOVED, THE AREAS
WILL BE GRADED TO FIT THi�_,
SURROUNDING GROUNDS' THEY WILL BE PREPARED
AND SEEDED AND MULCHED.
