I am going to send you a letter contesting various points in the letter. The most overarching point of frustration
is that some of the requested work has already been completed and clearly some of the requests are premature
given an updated mine map is in preparation. Both these could have at least been acknowledged in the letter.

Bill Bailey or any Town of Boone official attends the inspection. Mr. Miller is

Dear Mr. Cecile:
John E. Skvarla, III, Secretary
On May 29, 2014, an inspection of the subject mine was performed by a representative of
thi ' s office. As discussed with your mine operator on the site, several deficiencies were observed
that require your prompt attention.

protect adjoining property. These buffer zones, with the exception of the
installation of required sediment control measures and approved earthen berms,
shall remain undisturbed. The buffer zone requirement is addressed in Condition
3C of the Mining Permit. The 100 foot buffer zone adjacent to the homes along
Sunny Knoll Acres must be re-established as discussed during the May 29, 2014,
site meeting.
2. All disturbed buffer zones along the southern boundary of the quarry where fill
material has been placed must be re -vegetated to prevent any off-site
sedimentation onto adjoining property. This requirement is outlined in Condition
3D of the Mining Permit.
3. All affected acreage boundaries along the southern side of the southern fill area
must be clearly and permanently marked at 50 foot intervals. This is required in
Condition 3E of the Mining Permit.
4. Provide adequate mechanical barriers to prevent any off-site sedimentation from
the southern portion of the mine. Areas needing attention include: maintenance of
silt fence, installation of a rock dam in front of the NCDOT pipe under Bamboo
Road, installation of a skimmer device in the newly constructed sediment basin,
and the installation of a diversion berm to direct runoff to the sediment trap below
the portion of the mining operation located on the west side of Bamboo Road,
This is required in Condition 4A of the Mining Permit.
5. All mining activities must be conducted according to the Mine Map dated March
29, 2004. The existing Mining Permit for this site expires on July 7, 2014. The
map submitted for the permit renewal must show all disturbed areas noted during
the May 29, 2014 inspection. This area micludes all new disturbances on the

I just got off the phone with Bill Bailey. He will not be attending our meeting on the 2 9th. Just Matt Gantt, Tim Latham
and myself will be attending from DENR. I spoke with Derek Goddard earlier today as well and he relayed that he
planned on attending. Given that the Town of Boone will not be involved, I recommend that we go ahead and meet

We welcome any DENR representatives any time. Nonetheless, given our past relationship with the Town of
Boone, and in particular, with the Planning Department, we request that our legal counsel Nathan Miller,
Esq. be present if Bill Bailey or any Town of Boone official attends the inspection. Mr. Miller is unavailable
next week as he is on secured leave. Furthermore, Mr. Miller has requested certain information from the Town
of Boone regarding the complaint it filed with DENR. It is my understanding that we are not yet in receipt of
this information, and I expect Mr. Miller will require time to review it prior to any inspection, especially should
the Town be participating in the inspection.
In light of the foregoing, I recommend that we postpone next week's meeting. As soon as Mr. Miller returns to
his office, I will supply the dates we are available to meet.
Thank you.

Re: Town Official on Permitted Mining Site of'Radflord Quarries of Boone. Inc.
Dear Mayor Ball and Manager Young:
C>
The flash flood incidents Thursday had Radford employees working diligently, from the
beginning of the business day until after 6:00 p.m. cutting trenches to divert heavy rainfall. At
one point mid-afternooll.. we anticipate there was as much as our (4) inches of rain in an hour,
NCDOT contacted us in March of this year that they intended to clean out and create ditch lines
on Bamboo Road. As of yesterday. DOT has yet to begin the project.
The west side of the permitted mining site oil Bambooabsorbed the vast rainfall event, leaving
us digging out this moming to continue our services to the public.
Z:�
During the height of the rain event yesterday, a Town of Boone vehicle was sighted oil the
permitted mining site after failing to report to the weigh house. MSHA federal regulations
prohibit anyone, other than certified mining professionals, from entering upon the premises
without first reporting to the comparily official overseeing the facility. Upon presentation, the
individUill requesting access to the mine is provided with certain siflety information and must be
accompanied, at all times, by a company official or employee. Our heavy equipment operators
were working in extreiriely adverse circumstances when the town vehicle came onto the
premises, which could have easily iesulted in a disaster. We have noted this violation in our
dailyjoumal, as required by federal law. We are also conuicting the North Carolina Division of
Energy, Minerals and Land Resources to make sure an incident report is filed to reflect the
violation. We do not know which Town of Boone official or employee was responsible for this
incident, but �,our assistance to prevent such an event from occurring in the future is pararnoLint
to the safetV Of Our facility. Had your official followed proper procedures, many more
Government services could have been brought to bear upon the exirerne circumstances wid-lout
C I"
having to put our employees at risk.
During the extreme portions of the rainfall,vvre contacted the Town of Boone Police Department
for assistance with traffic control due to a potentially hazardous situation on Bamboo Road. No
Boone officers were available to assist. Watauga County Sheriffs Department was then
& North Carolina Highway Patrol
contacted and the, were also unable to assist Eventually,
provided tTaffiC oversight as our employees mid staff voluntarily removed the potential hazard
r -
during the down Pours without the occurrence of physical injury or vehicle dan-lage.
Z'

Page 2/Town of Boone
We will be contacting NCDOTtoday to determine their game plan to alleviate the continuing
recurring sediment and water issues on Bamboo Road caused by flash floods, Constructing and
maintaining proper ditch lines on a state road is not within the purview of a private company.
We. intend to initiate the dialogue on this problem with the State of North Carolina Ibr the
C�
potential safety concernsarising out of the inaction of NCDOT.
Please advise your officials mid staff ofthe regulations I have outlined above. These are
regulations are mandatory and must be applied with uniformity, without exception. Should we
have to investigate the incident further, we may require that you determine the employee
involved for questioning by federal mining ofiicials. V
I will keep you apprised on the progress on this matter and how it will be resolved

I have cleared about two acres at Bamboo Quarry to move some of my crushing machinery. I've outgrown our

permit boundary, modify the permit. If you put it outside, get an E & S plan. Concrete plants may have special
stormwater permits.

Yoohoo are you there? Do other things like hot mix or concrete plants have to get their own erosion control
permits or can they be under the mining permit if they are on mining property?

Hello Judy. Dr says about two more weeks on the twins! will be looking for a bottle of wine from you to
celebrate with .....
If I want to start another business at the quarry does erosion control fall under the mining permit or do I still
need another permit from land quality?
Thanks

Eric,
I had to talk to the guy across the hall (and there has been some conflict with our vacation schedules). Here is our
current cost for scanning/copying the maps:
Copy: 8 dollars per map
Scan to CD: 15 dollars
Or, you are welcome to come view them in either the Winston Salem or Raleigh Central office. If you only need the
basics, you can probably use our photocopier to piece together the maps. It just depends on the quality you need.

Ashley,
thanks so much for getting this for me. I really need to see the maps referenced in the permit. Is there anyway to get a
scanned copy? If not then is the Winston office the place to visually inspect?
also, hopefully the Winston staff will have more information on the other site in Wilkes.
thanks

No problem, Matt. I tried to fix the location on bing maps. It's at the intersection below — the area on the left
at the intersection (looks like a gravel yard maybe?)

You have to open it with Google Earth. I just tried it again, and it worked for me. Do you have google earth installed?

Subject: Radford Quarries question
Matt,

Here is the location in question for the other Radford Quarries site I mentioned in my email to Mr. Gentry. He seems to
believe that this area is permitted by us, but it doesn't match any mine permits I have. He was looking for a site that is
approximately 14 acres. The only Wilkes County site that pops up for Radford Quarries is the released one I mentioned,
which is a few miles away.
Do you or anyone on your staff know any more about this location? It looks like it may be a little gravel yard? (But it
isn't 14 acres ..... )
Let me know if anyone has info on it!
Thanks,

95-03 permit
Mr. Gentry,
Attached is mine permit no. 95-03 (Bamboo Road Quarry) in Watauga County, as requested.
Radford Quarries had previously permitted a site in Wilkes County, mine permit no. 97-06 (Hamby Mt. Mine), however
this mine permit was released in 2006.
I will forward the location you gave me in Wilkes County to our Winston-Salem staff and see if any of them know
of/remember a permit in that location.
Let me know if you need anything else. You are always welcome to schedule a visit with either the Central office in
Raleigh or our Winston-Salem office if you need to review the entire file (including maps).
