17. DIRECTIONS TO THE SITE
From I-85 north of Charlotte thake the Poplar Tent Road exit. Turn left onto Poplatr Tent Road. Follow to Cabarrus Quarry office on right
to check in. From office take Poplar Tent Road to harris School Road, turn right, follow to Cessna Road and turn right, Follow to Trail Road
and turn right. Site is at end of Trail Road on right.
18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features)
Project will consist of installation of a rip rap underdarin, sedimentation control, site clearing, site grading, and placemnt of overburden
material from the adjacent Cabarrus Quarry.
The construction sequence will first require the establishment of a 50 foot buffer around the entire perimeter of the site along all adjacent
properties. A 100 foot buffer will be maintained along the perennial UT to Coddle Creek to the south. Next, the sediment and erosion
control measures will be put in place around the perimeter of the site to control stormwater flows. A rip rap underdrain will be constructed
at the lowest point of the site along the rout of 359 if of Intermittent Non-RPW Stream S-2 UT to Coddle Creek. The lowest downstream
116 if will not be impacted. Clearing of the site will take place before the site is filled with overburden and waste rock. The fill material
will be placed in lifts and internal roads will be constructed to add and remove the filled material as necessary.
19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions)
Cabarrus Quarry will generate 10 million cy of Overburden and 18 million cubic yards of waste rock. Cabarrus Quarry currently and will
continue to move this material off-site through providing borrow material for other construction projects and blending waste rock with soil
to create a engineered fill material. However, off-site removal does not occur as fast as the material is generated. The surplus of material is
stored on site until it is shipped off-site. The Andrews property acquisition was made for handling this excess material. Currently there are
1.5 million cubic yards of material blocking access to reserves, if the fill is limited to Alternate No.2 then as soon as this material is
relocated Cabarrus Quarry will not have anywhere to store waste rock. The full 2.9 million cubic yards is needed for Cabarrus Quarry to
meet its immediate need to uncover reserves and manage waste rock as the facility continues to operate. Other Alternate Plans and options
have been reviewed and have been determined to no be practicable for the purpose and ned of the project.
USE BLOCKS 20-23 IF DREDGED AND/OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED
20. Reason(s) for Discharge
The discharge will provide storage for the overburden and waste rock generated by the expansion of the pit for access to rock reserves at
the existing adjacent Vulacn Materials Company Cabarrus Quarry.
21. Type(s) of Material Being Discharged and the Amount of Each Type in Cubic Yards:

Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards
Fill - Approx 200 CY
22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled (see instructions)
Acres
or
Linear Feet 359 linear feet of intermittent Non-RPW stream.
23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions)
The project will avoid impacts to the lower 1161f of intermittent stream and will avoid indirect impacts to the downstream perennial stream
through the use of a 100 foot buffer. Buffers and sediment and erosion control measures will be used to protect downstream waters.
Alternatives have considered no -build option, avoiding stream impacts, reducing stream impacts, off site storage solutions, review of
adjacent parcels for storage, and on-site storage solutions.Mitigation will be provided by an approved in -lieu fee mitigation program.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The project will avoid impacts to the lower 116 If of intermittent stream and will avoid indirect impacts to the downstream perennial stream through the
use of a 100 foot buffer. Buffers and sediment and erosion control measures will be used to protect downstream waters. Alternatives have considered
no -build option, avoiding stream impacts, reducing stream impacts, off site storage solutions, review of adjacent parcels for storage, and on-site
storage solutions.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction equipment will be kept away from protected waters with a 100 foot buffer. Sediment and erosion control measures will be used to prevent
impacts to downstream waters. No live concrete will be allowed to come into contact with surface waters.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to accept
payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as indicated in the
table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -lieu fee mitigation
program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility
of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will be approved. You must
also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with
the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/LAMA permit within this time frame, this
acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS
receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and
payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an
applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the impact
amounts shown below.

The project area is located within the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin,
USGS Hydrologic Unit (HUC) 03040105.
The one stream on-site is an unnamed headwater tributary to Coddle Creek. The on-site tributary
flows into an unnamed perennial tributary approximately 3,500 feet downstream of the site into
Coddle Creek. Coddle Creek then flows in a southeasterly direction to its confluence with the Rocky
River approximately 9.2 miles downstream. The Rocky River, is a navigable water of the United
States. The Rocky River flows into the Yadkin Pee Dee River which ultimately drains into the
Atlantic Ocean.
Project Area (acres): 68.91
Nearest Town: Concord, NC
Nearest Waterway: Coddle Creek
River Basin: Rocky River within Yadkin Pee Dee (03040105)

Section B. Proiect Information and Prior Proiect Histor
133a. Describe the existing condition on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the
project at the time of the application.
The VMC Cabarrus Quarry Andrews Expansion site is located in the piedmont physiographic region
of North Carolina. Mining operations at the quarry began prior to 1996 and have remained active
through the present. The project area encompasses 197 acres of land.
The Study Area is approximately 75% forested with mixed meduim aged pine and hardwoods.
Remaining areas are open crop fields or young successional growth. Surrounding land use is rural
residential to the northwest, existing rock quarry to the southeast, and forested land to the northeast
and southeast. A perennial UT to Coddle Creek runs along the southern property boundary.
The riparian areas along the tributary stream is dominated by various oak (Quercus spp.) and hickory
(Carya spp.) species, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), American Beech (Fagus grandifolia) and Eastern
Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), red maple (Acer
rubrum), and tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). The understory vegetation includes Christmas
fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), poison ivy (Toxico-
dendron radicans) and various other species common to the area.
The aquatic resources within the project area include one unnamed intermittent tributary to Coddle
Creek. Elevations on the site range from a low of 630 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) along the
southeastern property boundary, to a high of approximately 730 feet MSL along the northwestern
property boundary on Trail Drive. The Soil Survey of Cabarrus County, North Carolina (USDA-
NRCS) shows the project area as being underlain by Cecil sandy clay loam over a majority of the
site with a small amount of Poindexter loam in the southern corner.
The hydrologic regime is predominately driven by uncontrolled off site stormwater runoff from
residential development north of the project area and areas of planted agricultural field within the
site. The 1 st order tributary originating on the property arises from surface flow and has historically
been deeply eroded into the landscape due to past agricultural practices. The site has been observed a
number of times under a variety of weather conditions throughout the year over a period of several
years and there has never been flow observed in the tributary.
The total permitted area of the Vulcan Materials Company Cabarrus Quarry was 346.67 acres per the
recently expired NCDENR Division of Land Quality Mining Permit number 13-27 (expired 12-14-
16) and re -approved August 16, 2016. The recently proposed and reviewed Mine Permit Modifica-
tion increases this acreage by 66.97 acres to a total of 413.64 acres. Of this total acreage, 374.14
acres will be permitted for disturbance. the remainder will be kept as inactive area and will consist of
undisturbed buffers and natural area. Of the total disturbed area, the quarry pit excavation area will
occupy 145.36 acres, the plant and stockpile area will occupy 97.23 acres, and the tailings and
sediment ponds area will occupy 28.48 acres. The remaining area will be used for the storage of
overburden and unsuitable waste rock from processing.

Scale: I"=1000'
NCSAM Assessment

133d. Explain the purpose of the project:
Applicants: The applicant's stated purpose is to expand the existing pit to allow for mining opera-
tions to continue for the near future and to provide storage space for the overburden and waste rock
generated in order to access the known reserves of the pit expansion. The proposed mine plan has
been approved by the NCDENR Division of Land Quality.
Without the pit expansion, the quarry would only have enough reserves for approximately two more
years and would be forced to close.
Basic: The basic purpose of this project is to mine construction grade aggregate.
Overall: The overall purpose of this project is to mine construction grade aggregate in order to
supply the surrounding market need on a long term basis in a systematic and cost effective manner.
Water Dependency Determination: This activity does not require access, or proximity to, or siting
within the special aquatic site in question to fulfill its basic purpose.
133e. Describe the overall project in detail, including equipment to be used.
Cabarrus Quarry will generate 10 million cy of Overburden and 18 million cubic yards of waste
rock. Cabarrus Quarry currently and will continue to move this material off-site through providing
borrow material for other construction projects and blending waste rock with soil to create a engi-
neered fill material. However, off-site removal does not occur as fast as the material is generated.
The surplus of material is stored on site until it is shipped off-site. The Andrews property acquisition
was made for handling this excess material. Currently there are 1.5 million cubic yards of material
blocking access to reserves, if the fill is limited to Alternate No.2 then as soon as this material is
relocated Cabarrus Quarry will not have anywhere to store waste rock. The full 2.9 million cubic
yards is needed for Cabarrus Quarry to meet its immediate need to uncover reserves and manage
waste rock as the facility continues to operate.
The construction sequence will first require the establishment of a 50 foot buffer around the entire
perimeter of the site along all adjacent properties. A 100 foot buffer will be maintained along the
perennial UT to Coddle Creek to the south. Next, the sediment and erosion control measures will be
put in place around the perimeter of the site to control stormwater flows. A Class 1 rip -rap
underdrain will be constructed at the lowest point of the site to capturegroundwater flow. Clearing of
the site will take place before the site is filled with overburden and waste rock. The fill material will
be placed in lifts and internal roads will be constructed to add and remove the filled material as
necessary.
The following unavoidable stream and wetland impacts are proposed.

B5. Project History
BSa. Have permits or certifications been requested or obtained for this project (including all
prior phases) in the past?
Yes.
BSb, If yes. explain in detail according to the "help file" instructions.
The original wetland delineations for the study areas were performed by Craig R. Wyant of a Fine
Line Design. An 8.163 acre study area was reviewed within the existing quarry operation. The
delineation was verified by Mr. Steve Chapin of the Asheville Regulatory Field Office on August 26,
2002 (Action ID No. 200231237). Original impacts under NWT 26 consisted of 1261f impacts to
RPW stream.
An 85.3 study area located to the northeast of the existing quarry was delineated by Craig R. Wyant
of a Fine Line Design and was verified by Ms. Amanda Jones of the Asheville Regulatory Field
Office on April 5, 2006 (Action ID No. 200530423).
2007 Impacts total approximately 244 linear feet of Important Intermittent stream channel, 1,348
linear feet of Unimportant Intermittent stream channel, and 0.497 acre of wetland area.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
DIa. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in de-
signing the project.
In addition to following strict proptocols for design of erosion and sediment controls in accordance
with the requirement of the issuance and approval of a Mine Permit from the NCDENR, there will
be no work in live streams and no live concrete will be allowed to come into contact with surface
waters. All land distrubing activities will be kept 100 fet away from the downstream perennial
stream that is a UT to Coddle Creek. Impacts to the lower 116 feet of intermittent stream on site will
be avoided. Buffers will be placed around the entire property.
The quarry operation is visually screened by vegetated earthen berms and forested areas surrounding
the site. Also, the berms as required by the approved Mining Permit and local zoning requirements
would be landscaped and act as a visual barrier to the quarry operations. A fifty foot vegetated
buffer is proposed around the entire perimeter of the project. This buffer is forested in many areas.
A number of project design alternatives were reviewed before deciding on the preferred alternative
as follows:

Alternative 1. No Build Alternative
The No Build Alternative for the Vulcan Materials Company Cabarrus Quarry Andrews expansion
project would allow continued production of construction aggregate products for only a very limited
time before the quarry was forced to go out of business. In order to continue operation, the quarry
needs to continue to access known reserves on site. In order to do this, the overburden needs to be
remonved to expose the rock to be quarried and only a portion of the overburden and waste rock can
be disposed of off site immediately. In order for the quarry to continue to provide crushed stone to
the public and to the existing on-site concrete batch plant and asphalt plant businesses, the quarry
needs to remain in operation and to expand as approved by the thirty year Mine Plan and recent
Modifications. If material had to be trucked into the market from other quarry sites for any nearby
construction projects or for use by the existing concrete batch plant and asphalt plant the cost of
providing the material would increase significantly due primarily to increased transportation fees.
Requiring the Cabarrus Quarry to close prematurely would not only reduce the amount of available
crushed stone within the market area, but would also decrease the local competition amongst the
other quarries within the market and thereby potentially drive up the costs of crushed stone. Alterna-
tive sites for a similar operation do not exist in the immediate geographical marketing area due to the
increased development of the area, land availability, and land costs for nearby competing land
development uses such as the Concord Regional Airport, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Concord Mills
mall, and related land uses.
There are no known available sites in this market to open a new quarry and as such if this expansion
is not allowed to occur, Vulcan Materials Company would simply have one less quarry in the area in
which to supply crushed stone and generate revenue to its shareholders. It would also have to prema-
turely cover the reclamation costs associated with closing down the quarry, without the associated
available stone to offset the costs. The property has been in operation as a quarry since prior to 1996,
and Vulcan Materials Company has expanded and permitted the property over the years with the
assumption that the property would be available for quarry use.
An additional potential economic issue is the impact of quarry expansion on property values in the
vicinity of the operation. Residential and commercial development continuing in near proximity to
the existing quarry operation seems to suggest that continued operation and future expansion of the
quarry would not diminish property utilization or value in the area immediately surrounding the
quarry. For example, the vast majority of commercial and residential development within the
surrounding area has been built within the last several years years and has even required the upgrade
and improvement of the Poplar Tent Road exit for I-85 as well as all of the surrounding nearby
interchanges.
Finally, the proposed project would provide continued employment for the existing employees and
would serve as an employment opportunity for other citizens in the
surrounding community for the next 30 years or so based upon the requested length of the permit
requested by the applicant.

Alternative 2 (Avoidance Plan)
Consists of filling the Andrews property while entirely avoiding impacts to the Waters of the US.
The storage capacity of the fill proposed for the Andrews parcel is reduced from 2.9 million cy yards
to 1.5 million cubic yards; nearly half capacity. Therefore, at nearly the same construction cost and
effort as impacting the 3591f of Intermittent Non-RPW, avoiding its entirely, there would be a
significant reduction in the viability of the site for use of storing the overburden and waste rock.
Alternative 3 (Minimization Plan)
Minimization of impacting only a portion of the Waters of the US on the Andrews parcel would not
accomplish the intended purpose of actually reducing impacts and would not satisfy the purpose and
needs of the project. The storage capacity of the fill is reduced somewhere between 2.9 million cy
yards and 1.5 million cubic yards. Since the lowest portion of the site is also where the greatest
volume of overburden can be stored per acre, reducing only a portion of the stream impact would not
significantly reduce the actual stream impact because the remaining portion would not be fully
functioning having been deprived of its drainage area and a portion of the length. However, the
resulting volume of overburden that would be stored would be greatly reduced by comparison. As
such, if any portion of the stream is to be impacted at all, it would make little or no difference if the
entire length were impacted or if just a portion of the length were impacted.

Alternative 4 (Opening New Quarry Operation Within Market Area)
If the Vulcan Materials Company Cabarrus Quarry was forced to cease operations and a new quarry
was opened to replace the existing and ongoing operation, it would require a number of very costly
and time consuming steps, if it could be shown to be possible at all. The region has grown substan-
tially around the quarry since at least 1996 from mostly rural area to a mix of new moderately dense
commercial, industrial, and residential uses that have made the availability of a tract of land of any
size extremely difficult and mostly unaffordable. Additionally, for a business such as mining or other
resource extraction and processing industry, the resource present on the site and of a suitable quality
so that it can be mined, processed and used for construction purposes. If such a site existed, and the
market would justify opening another quarry in the vicinity, it very likely would already have been
pursued.
The reasonable market area for the Cabarrus Quarry is service within approximately 15 miles in a
direction generally towards uptown Charlotte along the I-85 corridor. A number of other existing
quarries within this market area all compete for the same work on projects as the Cabarrus Quarry.
Since some of these quarries are already positioned to continue to expand and service the market for
the forseeable future, the time and expense of opening a new quarry operation would be extremely
difficult to do in any competetive manner. Evenn though some of the other quarries are owned by
Vulcan Materials Company, each offers products that may differ from each other and each quarry
operates independently of the others from an operational standpoint.

Alternative 5 (Use of Adjacent Parcels Across Perennial UT Tributary Stream on Goodman
Drive
The engineers at Vulcan Materials Company have looked into redesigning and relocating a portion
of the plant operations to parcels along Goodman Road that are not presently developed. At this
time, a major change in the operation of the quarry by redesign would require a new Mine Permit
and Modification from the NCDENR Division of Land Quality. Sufficient information is not avail-
able yet to determine if this option is feasible for the short term. It would still not relieve the need for
the storage of overburden and waste rock from the approved pit expansion.
The property owners to the south on the other side of the perennial UT to Coddle Creek have been
approached and are not yet willing to sell the land. At such time when the land does become avail-
able, it is less suitable for overburden storage than the Andrews Property due to topography, storage
volumes are anticipated to be considerable less. Crossing the perennial stream will required disturb-
ing the protected 100 foot buffer and significant stream impacts to a more important aquatic re-
source.

Conversation: Cabarrus Quarry Potential Wetland / Stream Impacts
Hey Craig,
We just had a meeting about relocating the existing plant shown on the attached pdf
Mine Map labeled "Plant and Stockpile Area" along Goodman Road at Cabarrus Quarry.
The new plant layout configuration has not been finalized by Vulcan's engineering team.
However, I wanted to give you heads up that we may need to impact some areas. Chris
Scott sent the attached map showing areas with two red lines showing potential lengths
of impacts, however until the plant layout is completed, we are not sure how much will
be impacted. Our goal is to purchase more land so we would not have to impact
streams however, the Vulcan Land team is communicating with the property owner to
see. I haven't heard anything yet.
Thank you,

C b rrus Qu rry U pd to
Su ary
Vulc n L nds, Inc. ( wholly owned subsidi ry of Vulc n M teri Is Comp ny) is
purch sing n pproxim tely 67 cre tr ct contiguous to our current oper tion loc ted
north of Popl r Tent Ro d in Concord. This tr ct (with the exception of 1.6 cre
portion on Tr it Rd.) long with 1.8 cre tr ct currently owned by Vulc n w s recently
nnexed into the City of Concord limits to be consistent with the current oper tion.
Over the next few months, Vulc n will be securing loc I permits to dd this property to
our existing f cility. Vulc n's C b rrus Qu rry oper tion beg n in 1986 nd consists of
pproxim tely 345 cres loc ted within the City of Concord's city bound ry nd is zoned
1-2 with speci I use permit. This ddition I property will be used prim rily for stor ge
of dirt from the qu rrying oper tions nd eventu Ily to extr ct construction ggreg tes
s the current oper tions extend over time. There re no pl nned ch nges to the
oper tion I spects of the site nd II ingress nd egress will rem in to be limited to
existing ccess points on Popl r Tent Ro d. All required setb cks nd buffers will
comply with the regul tions set forth by the City nd St to of North C rolin 's mining
permit.
Key Points:
1. The ne r term use for m jority of this tr ct of I nd will be for perm nent
buffers nd dirt stor ge nd sm II portion on the southern end of the tr ct
dj cent to the current permitted site m y be used for ggreg to extr ction.
2. No ch nge to oper tion I frequency or ingress/egress s result of this
nnex tion.
3. Required buffers nd n e rthen berm will be constructed round the perimeter
of the tr ct for visu I nd sound b rriers.
Q Why did the City of Concord annex this property?
Vulc n's current oper tion is in the City of Concord limits nd this ddition I property
would m int in consistency with the current govern nce.
Q Will this increase the truck traffic in and out of the quarry?
No. Qu rry tr ffic volume will not ch nge with the ddition of this property. Customer
tr ffic which is b sed on ggreg to dem nd will continue to use the existing ccess
points off Popl r Tent Rd.
Q Will you change the entrance for trucks as a result of this annexation?
No. Customer ingress & egress will rem in off the Popl r Tent Rd. ccess points. As you
know, we worked extensively with NCDOT nd the City of Concord to m ke signific nt
improvements nd investments to the entr nce nd exits t our f cility s p rt of the I-
85/Popl r Tent widening project. (Point 2)

C b rrus Qu rry U pd to
Q Will you be using Trail Rd. to access this property?
No.
Q Will you be blasting on this property?
In the ne r term, the prim ry use for this property will be to store dirt m teri I from the
existing oper tion ( pproxim tely 41 cres or 60% of the 67 cre tr ct). We do pl n to
dd this property into our existing st to mining permit nd in the ne r term nticip to
extr cting ggreg tes on sm 11 portion of the southern portion of this property
dj cent to our current permitted oper tion ( pproxim tely 7 cres or 10% of the 67
cre tr ct) s the current pit develops over time. (Point 1)
Q When would you be blasting on this property?
The current pit development is b sed on ggreg to dem nd to support loc I
infr structure nd the development progresses over time to meet those needs. Ag in,
only sm II portion of the proposed tr ct ( pprox. 10%) is pl nned for ne r term
ggreg to extr ction. (Pointl).
Q Will you increase the blasting of your quarry?
No. The zoning on this 67 cre tr ct will not h ve be ring on the oper tion I
frequency of the qu rry. Th t is determined by customer dem nd for the products to
support the infr structure needs of the community.
Q This annexation will now bring your acreage to over 400 acres. Why do you need
such a large tract of land?
Keep in mind th t portion of our property is set s property buffer, storm w ter nd
stre m buffers. In f ct, ne rly 30% of the proposed 67 cre tr ct will be buffered in this
w y. (Point 1)
Vulc n supplies needed infr structure ggreg tes for community such s ro ds,
schools, irports, hospit Is, nd homes. It's n import nt sset for community to h ve
loc I qu lity ggreg tes to support these uses. The bility to cquire nd permit
v it ble property to meet the ggreg to dem nd decre ses s community develops
nd grows over time. Therefore, it's import nt to protect v it ble I nd for future loc
ggreg to dem nd.
Q So this property extends the life of the quarry?
Yes, it's like h ving bigger w rehouse for your products. Our "w rehouse nd
products" re in the ground. Our current f cility will oper to for m ny more dec des —
this simply dds to the over II life sp n to serve the needs of the community.

Q What kind of buffers (visual and noise) will you have on this new tract to protect
the residential neighborhoods adjacent to the property?
There will be 50'undisturbed buffer round the perimeter of the property dj cent tc
ny non-Vulc n entity. In ddition, just like our existing property — we will construct
I ndsc ped e rthen berms beyond the undisturbed buffer round the perimeter of the
property in ccord nce with the city nd st to permit requirements.
Q What other provisions do you have to protect the neighborhoods?
Vulc n will strictly dhere to II loc I nd st to requirements s it currently does on the
existing permitted oper tion. Vulc n's existing berms provide visu I nd sound b rrier
to the neighborhood nd the site even receives esthetic compliments from citizens. In
ddition there will be sever I re s where the existing tree c nopy will be preserved nd
enh nced with new pl nts for wildlife nd environment I enh ncement. Our C b rrus
Qu rry is certified wildlife h bit t by both the intern tion I Wildlife H bit t Council
(www.wildlifehc.org) nd s Wi d ife and Industry Together Site by the NC Wildlife
Feder tion. The new property will be incorpor ted into those two progr ms for
exp nded wildlife protection enh ncement.

Alternative 7 (Use of Properties Leased to Concrete Batch Plant and Asphalt Plant on
Goodman Drivel
Although the underlying land is owned by Vulcan Materials Company, the Concrete Batch Plant and
Asphalt Plant on Goodman Road in the southern corner of the site are under a legal lease agreement
with VMC. It would be very difficult and expensive to try to break the leases with these businesses in
order to use these small properties for the storage of overburden and waste rock. Additionally, these
two businesses are among the largest users of the crushed stone produced by the Cabarrus Quarry.
Eliminating them would be eliminating a significant amount of the ongoing business for the quarry.
The small size of the parcels and the topography would only allow a very small volume of material to
be stored.

Alternative 8 (Use of Previously Permitted Portions of the Interior of Existing Quarry for
Overburden Storage)
The interior of the Vulcan Materials Company Quarry site outside of the active pit, office, shop, and
processing area is comprised of stockpiles of already crushed stone, fresh water ponds, stormwater
BMPs, and stream buffer area. The previously occurring Waters of the US have been previously
permitted in the past and have been incorporated into the Mine Plan as required elements. Although
use of these internal site areas for overburden and waste rock storage would not require further
impacts to Waters of the US, the uses that would be replaced would need to be located elsewhere in
order for the quarry to continue operations. This would only be accomplished by a reissuance of the
existing Mine Permit Modification and considerable additional expense and a disruption to ongoing
quarry operations.
Alternative 9 (Use of UT Perennial Stream Valley)
The use of the unnamed perennial UT Coddle Creek stream valley on the Vulcan Materials Company
property would accommodate a significant amount of storage of overburden and waste rock. It
would accomplished the purpose and needs of the project on lands already owned by the applicant.
However, it would result in direct impacts to several hundred feet of higher quality perennial stream
and floodplain forest, as well as significant indirect impacts to downstream areas. Due to the signifi-
cant difficulty of justifying permitting for this alternative and due to the significant environmental
impacts, this alternative is not considered to be practicable.

Alternative 10 (Haul Overburden and Waste Rock to an Off Site Disposal Area)
A majority of the overburden is already being hauled off-site to be disposed of. The purchase of
additional land in the vicinity of the quarry for the storage of material presents two significant
problems. Nearby land values are selling at record high amounts due to the rapid expansion of the
Concord Regional Airport and its addition of international flights, the expansion of Concord Mills
Mall and surrounding businesses, the improvements to I-85 and commuter access from Charlotte,
and the influence on land values by the nearby Charlotte Motor Speedway Complex. Additionally,
the availability of open land is rapidly diminishing in the area so that any sizable site nearby is
becoming increasingly rare. Secondly, as traffic volume increases on the surrounding roads, adding
slower moving trucks carrying the overburden creates a safety hazard and further complicates traffic
congestion conditions.
D1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through
construction techniques.
Throughout the entire construction process, strict installation, monitoring, and maintenance of
erosion and sediment controls will be emplyed in order to prevent discharges into downstream
receiving waters. Impacts to the lowest 116 linear feet of intermittent stream will be avoided. Work
will be constructed in the dry. Live concrete will not be allowed to come into contact with surface
waters.
The construction sequence will first require the establishment of a 50 foot buffer around the entire
perimeter of the site along all adjacent properties. A 100 foot buffer will be maintained along the
perennial UT to Coddle Creek to the south. Next, the sediment and erosion control measures will be
put in place around the perimeter of the site to control stormwater flows. A rip rap underdrain will be
constructed at the lowest point of the site that will impact 359 linear feet of intermittent Non-RPW
stream. Clearing of the site will take place before the site is filled with overburden and waste rock.
The fill material will be placed in lifts and internal roads will be constructed to add and remove the
filled material as necessary.

Surveyor electronically submit a draft of a Survey Plat to the Corps project manager for
review.
Due to storage limitations of our administrative records, the Corps requires that all hard-
copy submittals include at least one original Plat (to scale) that is no larger than 11"x17"
(the use of match lines for larger tracts acceptable). Additional copies of a plat, including
those larger than 11"xl7", may also be submitted for Corps signature as needed. The
Corps also accepts electronic submittals of plats, such as those transmitted as a Portable
Document Format (PDF) file. Upon verification, the Corps can electronically sign these
plats and return them via e-mail to the requestor.
(1) PLATS SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL
❑v Must be sealed and signed by a licensed professional land surveyor

December 20, 2016
Subject: Vulcan Materials Company Quarry Andrews Expansion Project; Cabarrus County
Log No. 4-2-17-086
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) reviewed the information provided in your
correspondence dated December 13, 2016, wherein you request our comments regarding
potential occurrences of federally protected species associated with the proposed project
referenced above. We submit the following scoping comments in accordance with the provisions
of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description
According to the information provided, Vulcan Materials Company is seeking required permits
to expand an existing quarry on approximately 50 acres near Concord, North Carolina. You
indicated that the proposed project area is mostly forested with portions (>10 acres) dedicated for
agricultural land use (row crops or hay/pasture). Approximately 475 linear feet of jurisdictional
stream occur in the project area and no wetlands are present. The proposed project would result
in permanent impacts to 395 linear feet of intermittent unnamed tributary to Coddle Creek.
Mitigation for impacts to jurisdictional features were not discussed in your correspondence.
Federally Protected Species
Suitable roosting habitat may be present within the action area for the federally threatened
northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). However, the final 4(d) rule (effective as of
February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-eared bat associated with activities
that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from
a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). Based on the
information provided, the project (which may require tree clearing) would occur at a location
where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule.

The Service has record of recent occurrences for the federally endangered Schweinitz's
sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) in the vicinity of the proposed project. Suitable habitat may
be present for this species within the project area. This species grows along clearings and edges
of upland woods, thickets, and pastures. It is also found along roadsides, powerline clearings,
old pastures, and woodland openings. Schweinitz's sunflower prefers full sunlight or partial
shade, but is intolerant of full shade. To better inform an appropriate effect determination for
this species, we request that a qualified biologist conduct a biological survey of the proposed
project area (with attention to the suitable habitats discussed above), and send survey results to
this office before construction activities begin. The optimal survey window for this species
occurs from late August — October.
Please be aware that in accordance with the Act, it is the responsibility of the appropriate federal
agency or its designated representative to review its activities or programs and to identify any
such activities or programs that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. If
it is determined that the proposed activity may adversely affect any species federally listed as
endangered or threatened, formal consultation with this office must be initiated.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Mr. Byron
Hamstead of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 225, if you have any questions. In any future
correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-17-086.

NCNHDE-2640
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement,
or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Suzanne Mason at suzanne.mason&ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8637.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each
characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the
worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or
weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character
of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more
continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of
100 representing a stream of the highest quality.
