Mike,
Just wanted to check again with you on this one (see email below). It is nice to actually have a mine that will not be
dewatering for a change. Let me know if you have any issues.

Mike / Samar,
Please see NO1 attached.
We have received an application for coverage of a new facility under NCG 02 from Statesville Brick Company. The
facility drains to the Catawba River (Lake Norman) (class WS-IV, B; CA) in Statesville (Iredell County). This is a clay mine.
No dewatering, vehicle maintenance, or haz waste. Does the MRO have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC
for this general permit?
Thanks!

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 the 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.

enforced by the N. C. Environmental Management Commission.
4. A. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions, earthen dikes,
