Mine Site, Mining Permit No. 08-03
Dear Sir/Madam:
As required in the North Carolina General Statutes 74-55 and the mining regulations, Smith
Gardner, Inc. is transmitting the attached two (2) copies of the Annual Reclamation Report
for 2020 calendar year on behalf of Rose Brothers Paving Company, Inc. This reclamation
report covers reclamation activities at the Rose Brothers Paving Company, Inc. Britton Pit
mine site. Mining Permit No. 08-03 (permit), located on Griffins QT Road, in Lewiston
Woodville, North Carolina.
During calendar year 2020, no new areas were affected by mining and no areas were
reclaimed. Therefore, an updated mine map is not included in this report, as instructed in
the reclamation form. The $400 annual operating fee will be paid directly by Rose Brothers
Paving Company, Inc. and submitted under separate cover.
We are prepared to promptly respond to any questions or concerns. Should you have any

RE: Permit No. 08-03
Britton Pit
Bertie County
Roanoke River Basin
Dear Mr. Rose:
ROY COOPER
Governor
MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
WILLIAM E. (TOBY) VINSON, JR.
Interim Director
Please be advised that the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 was amended on October
4, 2017 by Session Law 2017-209 which states that all existing mining permits and any newly
mining permits are to be issued for the life of site or for the duration of the lease term. Thus,
there is no expiration date for this mining permit. The "life of site' means the period from the
initial receipt of a permit for the operation until the mining operation terminates and the
required reclamation is completed. The mine name and permit number on the permit
document, and all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained therein, shall
remain. in full force and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS §74-51 and GS §74-52 still
apply to all new, transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, Session Law 2017-209
also enacted a new annual mining permit operating fee of $400 per.mining permit number. By
statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be submitted to this office by
December 31, 2017. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by
July 1 of each year along with the required Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS
§74-55. Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a $50/month late fee
and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.
