limits on mine dewatering discharges for settleable solids (0.1 ml/1 mo.

Bill,
I do have the application in for review. I have also already received a copy of the
Mining Permit. I anticipate completing review by the middle of next week and sending
it to my Supervisor. Typically all COCs are scheduled for issuance on a Friday.
We -received the application July 12, and our review time for general permit
applications is generally 30 days, so I have been working on other applications that
arrived earlier. Since the mining permit has already been issued for this project and
the regional office has communicated their approval, I don't anticipate any extended
delays.

required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 59-32 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 July 8, 2006. 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 at this site is 16.8 acres and the amount of land
you are approved to disturb is 13.8 acres.
Please review the permit and contact Kristin Hicklin, Assistant State Mining Specialist,
