Dear Mr. Brown:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr, Secretary
The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As your company already
has a blanket bond sufficient to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 08-21 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971. This permit expires on November 16, 2015. G.S. 74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement -
of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any
agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 22.2 acres and the amount of land
you are approved to disturb is 18.2 acres.
Within 30 days of issuance of this permit, please provide this office with two
copies of a revised mine map that includes the stipulations listed in Operating
Condition No. 4C.
Please review the permit and contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining
Specialist, at [phone] of any objection or questions concerning the terms of the permit.
