Dear Mr. Conner:
ROY COOPER
MICHAEL S. REGAN
WILLIAM E. VINSON, Jr.
Your recent request to have the above referenced mining permit modified has been
approved. The modification is to increase the affected acreage at this site to 240.2 acres as
indicated on the Site Map last revised April 20, 2018. The modification includes the
construction of 2.5 acre berm addition within the 50 foot undisturbed buffer area north of
Fortney Creek and includes the installation and maintenance of all associated erosion and
sediment control measures. A copy of the modified permit is enclosed.
The conditions in the modified permit were based primarily upon the initial application.
Modifications were made as indicated by the modification request and as required to insure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971. The mine name and permit number shall remain the
same as before the modification. I would like to draw your particular attention to the following
conditions where minor additions or changes were made: Operating Condition Nos. 3C, 4F,
10B, and 14.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local
zoning regulations. The responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations
lies with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 486.77 acres and the amount of
land you are approved to disturb is 140.2 acres.
As we have received the new $1,000,000.00 Assignment of Savings Account issued by
First Citizens Bank, I am returning the previously held $500,000,00 Assignment of Savings
Account to you for your disposal.

In accordance with the provisions of G.S. 74-46 through 68, "The Mining
Act of 1971," Mining Permit Rule 15A NCAC 5 B, and other applicable
laws, rules and regulations
Permission is hereby granted to:
B V Hedrick Gravel and Sand Company
Lake Norman Quarry
Lincoln County - Permit No. 55-01
for the operation of a
Crushed Stone Quarry
which shall provide that the usefulness, productivity and scenic values of
all lands and waters affected by this mining operation will receive the
greatest practical degree of protection and restoration.

Page 2
In accordance with the application for this mining permit, which is hereby approved by the
Department of Environmental Quality 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 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.

In the event of seismograph malfunction or other condition which prevents
monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas:
W = (DIDs)2 Ds = D.
Wf/2

Page 8
V = 160(Ds)-' 6

second, for the purposes of this Section.
C. Air Blast with Monitoring:
Air blast overpressure resulting from surface blasting shall not exceed 129
decibels linear (dBL) as measured at the immediate location of any regularly
occupied building not owned or leased by the operator outside of the permitted

monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas:
To convert U (psi) to P (dBL):
U = 82 (D/W0.33)-1.2
P = 20 x log (U/2.9xl0-9)
Confined Air blast/Overpressure (dBL)

A = Air blast or air overpressure for typical quarry situations (decibels).
The air blast/overpressure shall not exceed 129 decibels, for the purposes of this
Section.
E. Record Keeping:
The operator shall maintain records on each individual blast describing: the total
number of holes; pattern of holes and delay of intervals; depth and size of holes;
type and total pounds of explosives; maximum pounds per delay interval; amount
of stemming and burden for each hole; blast location; distance from blast to
closest offsite regularly occupied structure; and weather conditions at the time of
the blast. Records shall be maintained at the permittee's mine office and copies
shall be provided to the Department upon request.
F. Excessive Ground Vibration/Air Blast, Reevortinp:
If ground vibration or Air blast limits are exceeded, the operator will immediately
report the event with causes and corrective actions to the Department. Use of
explosives at the blast site that produced the excessive reading shall cease until
corrective actions approved by the Department are taken. However, blasting
may occur in other approved areas within the permitted boundary. Authorization
to blast at the blast site may be granted at the time of the verbal reporting of the
high ground vibration or high air blast reading if the circumstances justify verbal
approval. Failure to report will constitute a permit violation.
G. Flyrock Prevention:
The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure that flyrock is not
thrown beyond areas where the access is temporarily or permanently guarded by
the operator. Failure to take corrective measures to prevent flyrock and
repeated instances of flyrock shall be considered a violation of the Mining Permit.
H. Fyyrock Reporting
Should flyrock occur beyond the permitted and guarded areas, the operator shall
immediately report the incident to the Department. Further use of explosives on
the mine site shall be suspended until the following actions have been taken:
A thorough investigation as to the cause(s) of the incident shall be
conducted.

that will be taken to prevent further incidents. The report shall meet with
the approval of the Department before blasting may resume at the mine
site.
Studies:
The operator shall provide to the Department a copy of the findings of any
seismic studies conducted at the mine site in response to an exceedence of a
level allowed by these blasting conditions. The operator shall make every
reasonable effort to incorporate the studies' recommendations into the
production blasting program.
J. Notice:
The operator shall, when requested by the Department, give 24-hour advance
notice to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources' Regional Office
prior to any blast during a period for which notice is requested.
9. High Wall Barrier
A physical barrier consisting of large boulders placed end -to -end or fencing shall be
maintained at all times along the perimeter of any highwall to prevent inadvertent public
access. In addition, a minimum 10 foot wide horizontal safety bench shall be provided
at the junction between the top of rock and the toe of any overburden cut slope.
10. Visual Screening
A. Existing vegetation shall be maintained between the mine and public
thoroughfares to screen the operation from the public. Additional screening
methods, such as constructing earthen berms, shall be employed as deemed
appropriate by the Department.
B_ Vegetated earthen berms shall be located and constructed as shown on the Site
Map last revised April 20, 2018. In addition to grasses, long leaf and/or Virginia
