C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. 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.

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 maps) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each measure. Engineering
designs and calculations shall be required when needed to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
The entire project site will be surrounded by an existing vegetated buffer to act as a filter for any
surface sediment movement. Since the mine is a pit, movement of sediment from the pit will be
negligible.

handling? Yes No X . 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 X No If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and
locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map(s).
The discharge waters will consist of water which has ex -filtrated from excavating beneath the water
table and rainwater. The water will be pumped into stilling basins where it will slowly overflow the
basin and naturally sheet flow through vegetated areas.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table?
Yes X No . If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes X
No . If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 70,000 . Locate all existing wells on the mine
maps% that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation at -ea. 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.
Due to distance to existing wells and relative shallow depth of mine, no impact is expected.
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, Stonnwater, 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
100,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use pen -nit from the Division of Water Resources if the
operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
Permit application is attached.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
Yes No X . If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air
quality pen -nit issued by the Division of Air Quality or local governing body.
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
Due to the sandy nature of soil, dust is not expected to be a problem. Also buffer distances to
inhabited areas are extensive.
