Bradley said you were already working with the owner on this one. Morton Trucking, Inc. — Morton Mine in Onslow
County. I am sending you a copy of the application package. I got copied on the email about putting in the COC cover
letter that they cannot dewater until WiRO approves their O&M plan. Do you have any concerns with issuing the COC at
this point?
Thanks.

Judy and Robert,
We sent them an NOV with Recommendation to Enforce for dewatering without a permit. We have documentation
showing we advised them they needed our permit in 2004 and again in 2005. They did not act upon that. We opted
not to fine, but they should not be dewatering from the pit until they have developed an 0 & M plan that we can
approve. They will need to put in monitoring wells in the wetlands. They indicated they had discontinued dewatering,
that should still be the case until we can issue an NCG020 (contingent upon receiving an 0 & M for dewatering).
Thanks

We have a modification pending expanding the LCID at this site. They have not applied for a CCPCUA permit to date and
will need that too. I will make them address this issue and send them a letter requesting more information. We have
not modified the permit to date to allow dewatering.

Linda,
I just noticed their 2005 mining permit mod (67-33) states that no mine dewatering shall occur. Do you know if they
have or plan to submit to DLR to modify this? Even though they have an active DLR Mining Permit, I'm not sure if we can
issue the COC until the DLR permit allows dewatering.
Thanks.

Please instruct them in their COC that dewatering will not be allowed until they have submitted a satisfactory O & M
approved by WiRO.

Just wanted to let you know that we received an application from Morton Mine. I think this is one you have been waiting
for. The package does not include a pumping plan, but they indicate in the submittal that they are working with you on the
plan. We are going to accept the application and go ahead and start the process.
