Request for Permit Modification
Dear Ms. Wehner.
Attached are two copies of the Mine Operations Map as per our phone conversation earlier this morning.
Please see the following:
1. The property line legend has been updated to match the property lines shown on the map, also the
property lines have been brought to the front, so they show up where the permit boundary and
property boundary are the same. The existing wetlands are shown the map, they are identified in
the legend and individually labelled on the map.
2. The affected acreage table(chart) is shown on the map.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] or Philip Bailey at(304)320-3806 should you have any
questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Tony Johnson

Attached are the comments from air quality.
My comments—property boundary is listed on the legend, but not shown on the plan. Permitted acreage is shown on
the plan, but affected acreage is not. I reviewed the plans for erosion control measures.As long as the construction
sequences are followed for each measure and stage of project there shouldn't be an issues with what they have
proposed and/or sediment leaving the site.Can you include in the approval that they have to notify us before they start
construction? h p

FROM: Andrea Leslie, Mountain Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 26, 2020
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Modification for Vulcan Materials Company
Hendersonville Quarry, Henderson County, MP 45-01
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the
application to modify the permit for the Hendersonville Quarry in Henderson County. Our
comments on this permit action are offered for your consideration under provisions of the
Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-46 through 74-68; 15 NCAC 5)and the North
Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et. seq.).
Vulcan Materials Company requesting a modification of its permit to update the erosion and
sediment controls at the Hendersonville Quarry. The mine is a granite mine. Water used in
washing is diverted back to the pit on site.
The reclamation plan includes Tall Fescue, Bermuda Grass, and Sericea Lespedeza. NCWRC
discourages the use of these highly invasive plants and instead encourages the use of more
wildlife friendly species, such as Creeping Red Fescue, Switchgrass, Big Bluestem,and Black-
eyed Susan. Consider using seed mixtures that are beneficial to wildlife (e.g., native warm
season grasses and pollinator beneficial species) in the reclamation plan. An exact seeding
mixture would need to take into account soil types, moisture, pH, and degree of slope of areas to
be stabilized. We refer the applicant to reach out to Andrea Leslie at
andrea.leslie(2ncwildlife.org for additional information and ideas on reclamation for wildlife.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this permit action. Please contact me at(828)400-4223 if
you have any questions about these comments.

Please find attached a copy of the mining permit Modification request for the above referenced project.
The Hendersonville Quarry, located in Henderson County, does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect
on ground water supplies and has previously registered their withdrawals, with the Division of Water
Resources, as facility ID #0199-0017.
Facilities are required to register their water withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General
Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statute requires any non-agricultural water user who withdraws 100,000
gallons or more in any one day of ground water or surface water to register and update withdrawals. This
statute also requires transfers of 100,000 gallons or more in any one day of surface water from one river
basin to another river basin to register and update their water transfers. Water withdrawal registrants must
complete the annual water use reporting form by April 1 for the previous year. The registration form may be
obtained from the following link:
https://www.ncwater.org/wwatr
If you have further questions regarding the water withdrawal registration please contact John Barr with the
Division of Water Resources at(919) 707-9021 or email him at [e-mail].

C.PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference
the sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
The existing facility operates under an approved state mining permit. The site will continue to
be developed in accordance to the previously approved modifications and in such a
manner as to direct stormwater runoff towards the existing quarry pit which acts as a large
stormwater detention/retention basin. Additional erosion and sediment control measures will
be installed prior to the development of any areas that do not drain into the existing pit.Areas
disturbed for the site development will be stabilized once the final grades are obtained.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation(include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for
mine excavation(s), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of
installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion
control measures on the mine maps)and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
Existing erosion and sediment control measures were designed, approved and installed per the
original application,subsequent modifications and the permit. These measures include
conveyance channels, rock dams and sediment basins.See the construction
schedule on the plans for the sequence of construction and maintenance.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes ® No ❑. If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be
used.
Wash water generated at the sizing-wash screen will continue to flow via pipe to the inactive
quarry pit onsite where sediment will be removed. Settling is performed by gravity and the
water is recycled as wash water. In the event of heavy storm occurrences the water from the
inactive quarry pit may be discharged into the existing sediment basin before leaving the site.
Site storm water also receives additional storm water control. Rainfall runoff from the pit
areas is diverted into the pit sump or nearby sediment basins.
Approved flocculent is used in the process and the Hendersonville Quarry possesses all the
necessary water quality permits required for operation of such a facility.
b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as a point discharge
to the waters of the State? Yes ® No ❑. If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and
locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map(s).
Storm water will discharge via approved erosion and sediment control measures. Excess storm
water, retained temporarily in the pit, is clarified, sampled and occasionally discharged in
compliance with our existing General NPDES #NCG020176 water permit.There will be no
additional point source discharges as a result of this renewal request.

APPLICATION FOR A M*ING PERMIT
.c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s).extend below the water table? Yes ® No ❑.
If yes,do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes ® No El.
If yes,what impact,if any,will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Estimated withdrawal rate
in gallons per day:(see note below). Locate all existing wells on the mine maps)that lie within 500feet
of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statements made,including
any monitoring well data,well construction data and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate whether
the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
The operation is not believed to have affected or have the potential to adversely impact any
well in the vicinity.This is based upon the history of the operation and similar locations.
Regardless, should a concern come to our attention,we would fully investigate the inquiry.
Both public water and private wells serve the surrounding areas. The locations of three on-site
existing wells and known offsite wells within 500 feet of the quarry are shown on the mine
map.
Equally important as past operating history, the geologic formation on the new property is the
same as that which is located on our existing permitted area. Ground water occurs in two
aquifer units at and around the site,the soil zone and the bedrock zone.These two aquifer
units are hydrologically interrelated,with recharge to bedrock occurring as downward leakage
from water in the soil. In the soil zone aquifer,the quarry site is fully hydrologically isolated
from any domestic wells. Hydrologic barriers are created by Clear Creek to the south of the
quarry, by hilltop divide along Clear Creek Road(S.R. 1503) and a tributary of Clear Creek
east of the quarry. Ground water divides and boundaries in the bedrock zone appear to be
similar to those of the soil horizon and surface water,isolating the quarry hydrologically.
d. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s)(i.e.,non-discharge,NPDES,Stormwater,etc.)from the
Stormwater Program. In addition, the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of
Water Resources, Ground Water Management Branch, if the operation withdraws more than 10,000
gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources, Ground Water
Management Branch, if the operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000
gallons per day.
Vulcan holds a general permit number NCGO2000, Certificate of Coverage NCG020176 that
addresses and covers all water-related activities including pit water management, process
water, settling pond and stormwater discharge. We are not required to obtain a capacity use
permit; however,we have registered our water use with the Division of Water Resources.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? Yes ® No ❑.
If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the
Division of Air Quality or local governing body.
Vulcan holds Air Permit Number 01738R22 issued by NCDEQ.
b. How will dust from stockpiles,haul roads, etc.,be controlled?
Fugitive dust from stockpiles and haul roads will be controlled by use of a water truck. Water
will also be applied at the appropriate areas throughout the crushing circuit by use of spray
bars.
5. a. A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or
right-of-way. It may be an unexcavated buffer(no excavation,but roadways,berms and erosion&
-1-

APPLICATION FOR A MI*�G PERMIT �"'
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer(no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever),or a combination of the two,depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary
or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended,although a wider buffer
may be needed depending on site conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
An unexcavated buffer zone of at least 25 feet wide will be provided between any mine
excavation or overburden storage and adjacent property lines on the original permitted tract.
A minimum buffer of 10 feet will be provided between the property lines and fill slopes. Slopes
will be graded no steeper than a 2:1 ratio and stabilized after grading to protect adjoining
permit boundaries.
b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities
within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller
undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions,a buffer wider than 50 feet may
be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the
mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).
A minimum buffer width of 50 feet will be maintained adjacent to streams and wetlands,
except for areas where impacts are proposed,impacts have been previously permitted,and in
locations for temporary crossings.
6. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries
during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and
minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required,unless
technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
A 25 foot minimum buffer will be maintained between any new cut slopes and adjacent
properties. The slopes will be constructed at a 211:1 V slope angle and seeded/munched
immediately upon completion.

intervals will be provided in new expanded pit areas.
7. Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling
house, public road, public, commercial or industrial building from any mine excavation. Locate all such
structures on the mine map if they are within 300 feet of any proposed excavation.
Presently, the mine excavation is approximately =L 370 feet to the nearest occupied dwelling and
Clear Creek Road (S.R. 1503) as measured from a permanent northwestern quarry high-wall. As
the quarry expansion continues to the south, the excavation will eventually be within 300 feet of
S.R. 1503 and 350 feet of the nearest occupied dwelling. A 25 feet minimum buffer will continue to
be maintained between any new cut slopes and adjacent properties. Slopes will be placed on no
steeper than 2:1 ratios and will be properly vegetated. Safety benches will be retained at the top of
rock and on high-walls; fencing, berms and boulder barriers will be used to prevent inadvertent
access. Posted signs "No Trespassing . Open Pit" will be placed around the perimeter of the
operation at a 100 yard spacing. Vehicle access to the site will be controlled via locked gates at the
entrance of S.R. 1503 and Nix Road leading to the existing learning and educational center. All
drilling and blasting will be conducted in accordance with all applicable North Carolina
Standards contained in our existing mining permit.
8. Describe what kind of barricade will be used to prevent inadvertent public access along any high wall area
and when it will be implemented. Vegetated earthen berms, appropriate fencing and adequate boulder
