Gen. Stat. § 1 13A-65, to prevent, restrain, correct and abate violations of the Mining Act of 1971, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 74-46 et seq. and laws enacted to protect the water quality of the State occurring at the site commonly known as Anderson Mine/Spruill Town Mine located in Craven County, North Carolina. After reviewing the verified Complaint filed in this action and hearing the evidence presented, this Court finds that: e - iwl Av-6ejys Cz FINDINGS OF FACT I . This civil enforcement action was commenced on December 5, 2005 by the Sovereign State of North Carolina, on the relation of the Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR"), seeking to enforce the mining and water quality laws of the State of North Carolina. 2. The North Carolina Division of Land Resources ("DLR") is a division within DENR, and the actions of DLR are the actions of Plaintiff. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") is a division within DENR, and the actions of DWQ are the actions of Plaintiff. 4. Defendant Gerald Anderson is a citizen and resident of the State of North Carolina and a resident of Craven County, North Carolina, and formerly did business as Anderson Sand and Gravel, LLC in Craven County, North Carolina. 5. All Defendants other than Defendant Gerald Anderson own various tracts of lands located on the south side of Spruill Town Road, near its intersection of U.S. Highway 17, south of Vanceboro, Craven County, North Carolina. 6. Pursuant to the Court's July 9, 2007 Extension and Amendment Consent of Preliminary Injunction, Plaintiff has stipulated that all named Defendants other than Defendant Gerald Anderson are not in violation of the Mining Act or Water Quality Statutes with regard to the matters at issue in this action, 7. At various times between May of 1995 through the present, Defendant Gerald Anderson and various business entities owned or controlled by him conducted mining and related activities on the lands of the other Defendants. 8. On May 26, 1995, Plaintiff's regulatory agent DWQ issued NPDES Permit No. NCG020000, with an expiration date of November 30, 2004, to Gerald L. Anderson, LLC for purposes of discharging mine dewatering and stormwater to receiving waters of the State of North Carolina located on or near the properties owned by the other Defendants. 9. On September 18, 2000, Plaintiffs agent DLR issued Mining Permit No. 25-45 to Anderson Sand and Gravel, LLC, with an expiration date of February 27, 2005. The terms of this permit authorized Defendant Gerald Anderson to undertake specified mining activities on the properties owned by the other Defendants. 10. On November 30, 2004, NPDES Permit No. NCG020000 expired without having been renewed by Defendant Anderson or any of his related business entities. 11. On January 4, 2005, Plaintiff, through its agent DLR, inspected the mining and related activities of Defendant Gerald Anderson and determined that various provisions of Mining Permit No. 25-45 had been violated. At this time, DLR advised Defendant Anderson of the need to install adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures along natural watercourses, adequately re-establish all buffers as shown on the approved mine map, and to submit a request to DLR to modify then -existing Mining Permit No. 25-45. 12. A Notice of Violation ("NOV") describing in detail the violations committed by Defendant Anderson was sent to Defendant Anderson by Plaintiff's agent DLR by certified mail, return receipt requested, on or about January 21, 2005. The Notice was signed.as received by Defendant Anderson on January 27, 2005. 13. The terms of the January 21, 2005 NOV gave Defendant Anderson five days from date of receipt to install adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures. 14. The terms of the January 21, 2005 NOV gave Defendant Anderson fifteen days from date of receipt to: (a) adequately re-establish all buffers as shown on the approved mine permit map; and (b) submit a request to DLR to modify the existing mining permit. 15. As of the present date, Defendant Gerald Anderson has not complied with any of the provisions of the January 21, 2005 NOV issued by Plaintiffs agent, DLR. 16. The mining authorizations contained in Mining Permit No. 25-45 expired on February 27, 2005. Pursuant to the (still effective) reclamation terms of this permit, Defendant Gerald Anderson is required to complete mine reclamation upon all of the lands owned by the other Defendants herein upon which any mining activity took place. 17. As of the present date, Defendant Gerald Anderson has failed to undertake or complete the mine reclamation activities required by the terms of Mining Permit No. 25-45. 18. On March 1, 2005, authorized DLR,officials inspected the mining activities of Defendant Gerald Anderson and confirmed that Defendant Gerald Anderson still was conducting mining operations despite the expiration of his authorization to do so under the terms of Mining Permit No. 25-45. 19. On March 3, 2005 and March 7, 2005, further inspections by DLR officials confirmed continued unpermitted mining violations by Defendant Gerald Anderson at the mining site, located on the lands owned by the other Defendants. 20. A second Notice of Violation was sent to Defendant Gerald Anderson by certified mail, return receipt requested, on or about March 11, 2005, signed as received by Defendant Gerald Anderson on March 24, 2005. 21. The second NOV directed Defendant Gerald Anderson to: (a) immediately cease all mining activity at the site until a new permit was applied for and issued; (b) submit a new mining application within 15 days of the date of NOV receipt for any desired continued mining; and (c) commence reclamation of all inactive mining site areas within 60 days of the date of NOV receipt. 22. The terms of the second NOV further directed Defendant Anderson to submit a complete reclamation plan in accordance with the terms of Mining Permit No. 25-45 and applicable law if Defendant Anderson desired to permanently cease all mining operations. 23. Authorized officials of Plaintiff's agent DLR again inspected the mining site on March 30, 2005; April 6, 2005; April 28, 2005; April 29, 2005, May 9, 2005; and July 26, 2005 and confirmed that Defendant Anderson was still actively and unlawfully conducting mining activities on the site without a valid permit and despite being repeatedly ordered to halt all mining operations until a valid permit was obtained. 24. As of the present date, Defendant Gerald Anderson has failed to comply with any of the terms of the second March 11, 2005 NOV. 25. On April 25, 2005, Plaintiffs agent DWQ sent a NOV and Notice of Enforcement Recommendation to Defendant Gerald Anderson by certified mail, return receipt. requested, and this NOV was signed as received by said Defendant on April 27, 2005. 26.

On August 5, 2005, DWQ officials inspected the site and the results of the inspection confirmed violation of numerous North Carolina Water Quality Laws and implementing regulations, as more specifically set forth in Paragraph 35 of the Verified Complaint. 28. On October 6, 2005, DLR officials inspected the site and confirmed that Defendant Gerald Anderson continued to violate North Carolina mining law by conducting mining activities without a valid permit, and failing to comply with the terms of either of the two DLR NOVs. 29.

On August 29, 2007, by letter addressed to the Trial Court Administrator, Defendant Gerald Anderson requested that this matter be continued from the Court's September 5, 2007 Final Trial Calendar. Defendant Anderson indicated that the basis for his request for continuance was the fact that he had scheduled hip replacement surgery for September 4, 2007.

FLndersop Mine Site Craven County, North Carolina Dear Kathryn, Raleigh Office 8450 Fads of Neuse Road Swine 266 Raleigh, North Carolina 27615 Telephone (919) 870N6258 Facsimile (919) 870.6259 'I bank you for i•eciacstinb a proposal from our client, Mr. James Spruill, regarding the former Anderson Mine Site on Spruill Town Road xlear Vanceboro; 'North Carolina (the "Mine"). Mr. Spruill has been an unfortunate victim of Mr. Anderson's activities merely by leasing the site to Mr. Anderson. In addition to being forced to defend hilnsclf in both administrative proceedings and in Superior Court, Mx. Spruill had to file a civil action to re") ti er several yeaxs of unpaid rent from Mr. Anderson. Unfortunately, it appears urnlilcely that Mr. Spruill will recover the Stan, thot;sands of dollars of unpaid rent that he and his wife were depending upon for their retirement. Mr. Spnull is now in leis inid-seventies, and he has told -me that he has YTe1y nearly exhausted his life's savings. Your clielus' willitiowss to consider allowing anew mine permit is enocuraging. I have: spoken with Mr. Spruill and Mr. Andr w Purifby, a member of Carolina Stone, LLC, who is i-ttere:sted in the kline. My client is notable to presciat a d�,tailed proposal at this time, because Mr. Purifoy indicated that llc w,,eds to conduct exploratory drillzrg to deter.mitle the extent and value of the minerals at the ,.Mine; however, Mr. Spruill's general proposal is as f��1 oll,)s: (1) that the Division of Land Resources or othor appropriate agzzicy issue; a new Joining permit to Carolina Stone, LLC or to another qualified mane operator; (2) that any ieclamation of the Mine required by the punnit to Gerald Anderson or his related entities be delayed tuitil after the minerals ,ire extrac',od fi-otn the new mine; (3) that the reclamation of the Mine be incorporated into the new mining Ponn:t and completed by the new mine operator. UL.. A . 1-:11 ci ('i,'� . 2107 P . 3 In addition, my client understands that Mr. Anderson or his related entities mayhave disturbed wetlands that the Division ofWater Quality would like to have restored. Although Mr. Spruill was not involved with Mr. Anderson or his related entities, Mr. Spruill is kvilling to disct►ss mitigating the loss of the wetlands with other property that he owns, in order to obtain a new thine permit. Ms. f'urifoy indicated that he would be willing to pay for.rcrlatnation of the Mine after the minerals are extracted undzr the: new mining permit. However; NIT, Purifoy stated that he must conduct more exploratory drilling to estimate the amount and value of the minerals available: at the Mine before he can commit to pay for the reclamation. CJnforva Lately, I understand ihat the Mine is now partially filled with water that must be removed before Mt-. P"Ifoy can canduot further exploratory drilling. I also understand that removal of the water may require a pernat from the Army ('otj)s of Engincers, or from the North Carolina. Division of Water Quality, or both. Therefore, we also r:qucst your clients' assistance to obtain the pernrtits necessary to remove water fi'otn the Mine in order to con.duet further e,fpluratory drilling. Mr. Spruill tiw oWd appreciate any efforts by yov and your clients to obtain a new rhino permit. Mr. Spruill had depended upon the property where the Mine located to generate income for his retirement, but instead itc hzu not only not paid by Mr. Aii&,rson, h has lost a?i productive use ofi is property. From our perspective. a r cwE mane permit is the perfcct sol aien to both your clients' need to have the ,Wne properly reclaimed and my client's need to obtain berieficial use of his property. please share our -general proposal Nvith your clients and contact me when you are able to discuss t~hc: matter, Yo s t•ery ly, ✓Vr1 L:t 34 ad7. 1�. 14iM �.:I - ; VfiT, Jaintn Sp.,mill Gove.n .

The inspection of the site was to review an operation and monitoring plan for the Gerald L. Anderson LLC Mine, submitted by Avolis Engineering that was received by DWQ on February 2, 2001. Mr. Tankard observed the mine being dewatered with the water being discharged to an unnamed tributary to Hoods Creek.

However, the groundwater in the pit adjacent to the wetlands was approximately five feet below surface and the wetlands had been drained.

On February 23, 2001, your site was inspected and found that you were dewatering your mine site prior to having the plan approved and that the wetlands that the plan was supposed to protect had been drained.
