Re: Hammill Sand Mine (Draft Permit)
Moore County
Lumber River Basin
Dear Ms. Miller:
John E. Skvada, III
Secretary
Your application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been
reviewed but not yet approved. Enclosed is a draft of the mining permit proposed by the
Department. The conditions in the draft permit were based primarily upon information
supplied in your application. Other necessary conditions may have been added to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted
in the application (see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is $23,100.00. The
bond is required before the permit can be issued. For your convenience, I have enclosed a
bond form, an assignment of a savings account form and an irrevocable standby letter of
credit form. The name on the security form must be the same as the name appearing on the
enclosed draft permit, i.e., Hammill Construction Company, Inc. In addition to one of these
alternatives you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and the reclamation bond worksheet, and
contact this office should you have any objections or questions concerning the permit
conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a
notice of the required bond in which to file the required surety.
The permit cannot be issued until the required security has been received. No mining
may be conducted until the permit is issued. 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.

In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, hereinafter referred to as the Department,
and in conformity with the approved Reclamation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of
this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department
may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law.

Subject: RE: Review Request NCG020869 Hammill Sand Mine
Julie,
Our office received the stormwater plan sheet associated with the subject NO1 on 7/24/14. After review of the NOI and
plan sheet, we have no objections to issuance of permit coverage.
The plan sheet does show an area of wetlands and intermittent stream approximately 100' southeast of the mine permit
boundary near the two stormwater discharge points. Based on the plan sheet, discharge point #1 would likely discharge
into the wetlands while discharge point #2 would discharge below the wetlands to the intermittent stream. According to
the NOI, the basins are designed to store the 10-year storm event, therefore it is my opinion that the potential for
wetland impacts is minimal. A more comprehensive and formal evaluation of potential wetland impacts should be
performed by DWR staff since the wetland regulations are under their authority.
If there are any questions or additional information is needed, please contact me.
Thanks,
Mike

We've received an NOI for a new mining operation in your region:

(Class WS-II,B;HQW). They will not be dewatering. The NOI and associated materials are attached. They also submitted
a plan sheet with their Stormwater Plan, but I don't have easy access to a big scanner, so I'll drop it in the interoffice

Please let me know if the Fayetteville Regional Office has any concerns about issuing this COC. Please also let me know
of any potential impacts to wetlands. If we don't receive any objections, we'll issue the COC in 30 days.

of the mining permit proposed by the
were based primarily upon information
tions may have been added to ensure
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted
in the application (see enclosed worksheet). The bond amount for this site is $23,100.00. The
bond is required before the permit can be issued. For your convenience, I have enclosed a
bond form, an assignment of a savings account form and an irrevocable standby letter of
credit form. The name on the security form must be the same as the name appearing on the
enclosed draft permit, i.e., Hammill Construction Company, Inc. In addition to one of these
alternatives you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and the reclamation bond worksheet, and
contact this office should you have any objections or questions concerning the permit
conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a
notice of the required bond in which to file the required surety.
The permit cannot be issued until the required security has been received. No mining
may be conducted until the permit is issued. 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.

this permit, provisions must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation. This permit is
expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclamation
Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable
obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive
the expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another
operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue
of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise, the Department may release the permittee from the
duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference
to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor
operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the
affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security.
In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or permittee's successor is not
complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and conditions of this permit, or is failing
to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the
operator written notice of its intent to modify, revolve or suspend the permit, or its intent to
modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a
hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or
suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department

d� (
Compaction may be obtained by routing the construction hauling equipment over the fill so that
the entire surface of each layer is traversed by at least one wheel or tread track of heavy
equipment, or a compactor may be used. Construct the embankment to an elevation 10r% higher
than the design height to allow for settling.
inspect the sediment basins at least weekly and after each significant (112 inch or greater
greater) rainfall event and repair immediately. Remove sediment and restore the basin to its
original dimensions when it accumulates to one-half the design depth. Place removed sediment
in an area with sediment coatruks.
4. Conduit spillways -Securely attach the riser to the barrel to make a watertight %tructurai
connection. Secure all connections between barrel sections by approved watertight assemblies.
Place the barrel and riser on a firm, smooth foundation of impervious soil. Do no use pervious
material such as sand, gravel. or crushed stone as backfrll around the pipe or anti -seep collars.
Check embankment, spillways, and outlet for erosion damage, and inspect the embankment for
piping and settlement. Make all necessary repairs immediately. Remove all trash and uthrr
debris from the riser and pool area.
