I did receive your voicemail, and I have requested written comments from the WaRO. I have not gotten a response yet,
however.

I wanted to make sure you got my voice mail telling you that Richard Peed did his site visit of the R-3 dike breach as -built
last Thursday morning (3/17), and said he would send his approval comments to you. We are in urgent need to utilize
some of the sand off the outer slope of that dike, as was described in the original breach application, and hope that we
can get the official approval letter from DEMLR as soon as possible. If there are any issues, please let me know.
Thank you,
Jeff

RE: PCS Phosphate R-3 Dike
Approval of Breach Construction
Beaufort County
State Dam ID: BEAUF-016
Dear Mr. Furness:
This concerns the subject dam recently breached pursuant to the Approval to Breach dated July
25, 2014, as required by the Dam Safety Law of 1967. Record Drawings and the engineer's
certification were received on February 12, 2016. The completed work was certified by Mr.
Robert M. Chiles, PE. Also, Check No. 10411251 in the amount of $14,320.64 serving as the
additional application processing fee was received on February 17, 2016.
An inspection of the completed work was made by Land Quality Section staff of the Washington
Regional Office on March 17, 2016. The work was found to be in general conformance with the
approved plans and specifications. This letter constitutes final approval of the work to breach the
subject dam.
The Land Quality Section staff will make periodic inspections of the remains of this dam to
verify that the remains are not capable of impounding water and are therefore exempt from the
Dam Safety Law of 1967. Please continue to monitor the breach channel to ensure that it does
not become blocked with debris and cause the impoundment of water.
Please note that this letter does not relieve the dam owner from its obligation to comply with
other applicable regulations. You should contact the US Army Corps of Engineers, the NCDEQ
Division of Water Resources, the NCDEQ DEMLR Mining Program, and other regulatory
agencies as appropriate to determine other permit requirements.
