when the initial permit was issued to Radford Quarries, the company
has mined within the now existing perimiters of the mine si,.te.
Mining activities now are within the established perimeters for
the mi6e and will be for some Lime Lo come. There remains a
substantial volume of stone within the perimeter and the land
disturbing activities will be wiLhin that perimeter. It is
anticipated that some benching may be necessary on the east highwall
perimeter'in 1993 or 1994.

Travelers on Bamboo Road are stopped and flagged approximately
1/4 mile from the mine siLe during blasting activities.
c. Describe whaL kind of barricade will be used Lo prevent inadvertent public

There exists already a barricade along the high wall which
adjoins the Watauga County landfill and hat been for some

to twelve foot pile of rip rap, which is interspersed with
vegetation. No problems with inadverLant public entry has
been experienced in the last six years. However applicant
intends to erect a barbed wire fence to provide additional
protection to the public.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
S. Describe specific erosion and sediment contral measures Lo be taken during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plans for erosion
cuntrol for wine excavaLiLon(s), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas),

sediment control measures (in Lhe mine map. Lngincering designs and calculations
slidll be required when needed to jusLify the adequacy of any proposed measures. -

However rip rap and surge rock is maintained around the
excavation area to prevent any off site sedimentation. A
number of white pines have been planted along the Bamboo Road
to both screen and prevent runoff from the mine site itself.
2. Process area -Applicant's process area, owned by Raymond ----
Cecile which property is across Bamboo Road from the mine
borders on the New River. Surge rock and rip rap have been
placed on the process area to prevent any run off or erosion
toward the New River. Applicant submits that this procedure
has been more effective than placing silt screens on the
property.
G a. Describe meLhods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to
adjoining properties during mining.
Applicant uses the bench or terrace method for preventing
landslides adjacent to the mine site.
b. In excavation(s) of unconsolidated (non -rock) materials, specify the angle
of all slopes including specifications for benching and sloping.
Applicant uses a three to one ratio on all slopes. Very little
unconsolidated materials border this particular mine.
c. in hardrock evacations, specify proposed bench widths and heights in feet.

Applicant has planted white pines around the rim of the mine and
these trees are now substantial in height. The upper wall, as
noLed has a subsLantial berm in place interspersed wiLh vegatation.
A natural screen exisLs along Bamboo Road including Lrees which
totally blocks the mines siLe from the motoring public, except for
the mine road which enLers Lhe mine siLe.
9. Will explosives be used? Yes X No . T1- yes, specify the types
of explosive(s) and describe what precaution(s) will be used to prevent
physical hazard to persons or neighboring property from flying rocks or
excessive air blasts or ground vibrations. Locate the nearest offsite
structure(s) to the proposed excavation(s) on the mine map.
1. Power primer - dynamite
Anfo(fertilizer) amonia nitrate
2. Fly rocks, excessive air blasts and ground vibrations are
prevented by the drill pattern and the amount of explosive
placed in the drill hole. ApplicanL loads each shot at a
depth more than fourLeen feet from the top of the hole. This
procedure almost toLally prevents fly rock from leaving the
interior of the mine.
