RE: Supplemental Information for Application for a Mining Permit
Bamboo Road Quarry
Watauga County
Dear Mr. Cecile:
This office has completed its review of the supplemental
information your attorney, Mr. Randal Marsh, submitted to this
office on your behalf dated July 7 , 1993 , which was received by the
Land Quality Section on July 13 , 1993. Although many of the issues
raised by this office in its letter to you dated May 14, 1993 have
now been addressed, there are several issues that still need
clarification before this office `can continue its review of your
application. These remaining items are as follows:
✓1 ) Although an overall mining permit boundary has been
indicated on the mine maps , said boundary still does not
clearly include all existing and proposed land disturbing
activities. The permit boundary, as indicated on the
✓ revised mine map, runs down the centerline of the access
roads around and above the quarry excavation. In
addition, the highwall barriers have been indicated
outside of the permit boundary. Please note that all
aspects of the mining operation must be located inside
the proposed permit boundary. The reason for this is to
ensure that these areas, which will be used for the
mining operation, are covered by the mining permit which
will require proper installation, maintenance and
reclamation of these areas under the Mining Act .
Therefore, please adjust the mining permit boundary to
✓ encompass all access roads and highwall barriers to be
utilized around the pit area. In addition, the proposed
limits of the mine excavation and corresponding buffer
... . ...... .zone widths between the mining limits and the permit

boundary must also be clearly labelled on the mine map.
In addition, if this adjustment results in a significant
change in the acreage to be permitted (currently proposed
as 13 .96 acres) , a revised acreage ,Must be provided for
the overall permit area.
•'/'2) Please note that this office has not received the
additional application processing fee of $750 .00 for the
additional acreage that was added to the permit
application. The required fee for a quarry with a
permitted acreage of 10 but less than 25 acres is a total
of $1,000.00. To date, this office has only received the
initial check in the amount of $250.00. Please note that
a decision on your mining permit application cannot be
made until this remaining fee ($750.00) is paid.
-/3) Although the sediment basin has been removed from its
previous location on the map adjacent to the riverbank,
perimeter dike symbols (indicated as "PD" and drawn by
Municipal Engineering) are still indicated on the map to
convey runoff to the basin's previous location. This is
also true on the east side of SR 1514 in front of the
scales and primary crusher. As these items are no longer
applicable, please delete these symbols from the mine
map.
In addition, no reference has been made on the revised
mine maps as to how and when the area between the permit
,/boundary and the riverbank will be permanently
revegetated with native and wildlife species and remain
undisturbed. Will it be revegetated in place or will the
fill area be removed then the subsequent area
revegetated?
T-actl y� Mr, March at ntir .Tune 7; 1993 meeting in
Raleigh, agreed to forward to this office copies of
✓supporting documentation and calculations compiled by the
engineer who certified the flood elevations on the map.
To date, this office has not received such documentation
to verify these elevations.
,/4) As noted in my May 14, 1993 letter, a revised
construction detail is needed for the perimeter dike
proposed to divert_ all surface water runoff from the
Processing' -Center to ' Sediment .-Basin- No: - I.. -- -The dike
detail must clearly indicate that an excgvated channel
will be installed at the inside toe of the dike to

Mr. Cecile
Page 3
sufficiently carry the runoff to the basin without
breaching or overtopping the berm. Design calculations
are also needed for the perimeter dike/channel system to
support the size and proper stabilization of the channel.
�/ 5) This office's review of the storage capacity of Sediment
Basin No. 1 noted that the proposed dimensions must be
increased or the basin, as proposed, must be cleaned out
every six months and after every significant rainfall to
prevent failure of the structure. In addition, the Silt
Basin Schedule on the second sheet still indicates the
elevations of the initial basin proposed adjacent to the
riverbank. This schedule must be revised to clarify the
frequency of cleanout and the correct elevations for the
basin bottom, spillway and berm sections.
✓6) Although "landscaping" has been proposed in various areas
at the Processing Center, information has not been
provided as to the type and size of the plantings to be
utilized. Will the "landscaping" be flowers, shrubs
and/or trees? What types do you propose to plant and
when?
It appears that plantings for visual screening can be
safely provided between SR 1514 and the road that runs
parallel and directly in front of the shop. These
plantings will be far enough back away from the road's
connection with SR 1514 to allow proper visibility. In
addition, as the Surplus Material Storage has been
/ relocated outside of the proposed visual screening,
/ plantings must be provided between it and SR 1514 to
screen it from public view: As stated earlier, this
revised screening should provide a direct visual screen
for these aspects of the operation while providing a
recessed screen that will not interfere with sight
distance on SR 1514. Locations and details for this
revised screening, or other similar alternative, must be
provided on the mine maps.
\/9) As noted earlier, all access roads to be utilized to
access any stripping and mine areas on the east side of
SR 1514 must be located within the mining permit boundary
and must have properly designed and constructed erosion
and sedimentation control measures to prevent offsite
sedimentation. As you are aware, runoff down the access
road located- at -the -northern end of the existing pit has
caused failure and offsite sedimentation at the curve in
the road. As a result, you had constructed a rock dam in
the wash area to prevent further erosion and
sedimentation problems. Please locate this rock dam, and

Mr. Cecile
Page 4
any other structures that exist or are needed to control
runoff on these access roads , on the mine map.
Locations , design calculations and construction details
are needed for each structure to ensure that their
proposed dimensions will be sufficient.
At our meeting on June 7, 1993 , it was indicated that you
would install a water bar across the access road that
exits onto the east side of SR 1514 to slow runoff and
✓ prevent stone from the road from washing onto SR 1514 .
However, this issue was not addressed on your revised
mine map. Therefore, please provide a construction
detail of the water bar and indicate its location on the
mine map.
✓10) Although you have indicated the locations of the
discharge pump and its corresponding pipe on the mine
map, it appears that the pipe will end at the upstream
end of the culvert. If so, please provide details of how
the outlet point of the discharge pipe will be stabilized
to prevent erosion and offsite sedimentation. A rip-rap
lined sediment basin/pool may be necessary to prevent
scour at the discharge point prior to the water entering
the culvert under SR 1514. This issue must be clarified
on the mine map.
✓11) Although a typical cross-section of the pit has been
provided on the second sheet of the mine maps, several
items have not been provided on the cross-section as
previously requested. The cross-section must clearly
indicate the permit boundary, buffer zone width, highwall
barrier and corresponding safety ledge in addition to the
2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter overburden slope,
the minimum 20 foot wide safety bench at the toe of said
slope, and the quarry face that you provided.
Again, please be sure to clearly label on the mine maps
✓ the width of the undisturbed buffer zone that will be
maintained between the top of the mine excavation and the
permit boundary on all sides of the site.
✓ 12) Clarification is still needed regarding notification of
adjoining landowners as outlined in my letter to you
dated April 29 , 1993 and May 14 , 1993 . This office still
has not received copies of all return receipt cards for
----- all persons notified of this application. in addition,
the Castiblancos and the AusEins have not been located on
the adjoining landowners map. Which adjoining landowners
on the map have now been replaced/conveyed their
properties to the persons noted above?

Mr. Cecile
Page 5
✓ 13 ) The size and boundaries of the Surplus Material Storage
area containing all scrap metal , junk equipment and
parts, and other refuse has not been clearly indicated on
the mine maps. In addition, how will it be accessed now
that it has been relocated behind the perimeter dike
leading to the sediment basin? How and when will this
material be removed from the site and properly disposed
of offsite? Again, how do you propose to visually screen
this area from SR 1514? Please clarify these issues.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS OFFICE CANNOT CONTINUE ITS REVIEW
OF YOUR APPLICATION UNTIL ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS HAVE BEEN
ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED.
Although significant progress has been made in clarifying the
issues raised in my previous letter, the remaining issues noted
above must be addressed before a decision can be made on your
application. It is strongly recommended by this office that you
solicit assistance from an experienced surveyor or engineer
regarding the technical issues addressed in this letter.
In addition, this office has been advised that you have not,
to date, received an air quality permit nor a water quality
discharge permit for this site. Even if your application for a
mining permit is approved, please be advised that no crushing or
mine dewatering can be conducted at this site without first
obtaining appropriate air quality and water quality permits for
these activities, respectively.
Lastly, if the Director determines that your mining permit
applLcaLt01-1 Call bt aYpiV'vtd, tilt final ru-1-9 permit cannot be
issued for this site until this office has received a reclamation
bond in the name of "Radford Quarries of Boone, Inc. " in the amount
of $12,500 .00, to cover 10 to 25 acres of affected area at the
site. The Department's standard procedure is to, once the
application is approved, forward a "draft" permit to the applicant
along with various bond forms for securing the required bond. Once
the required bond is received by this office, the final mining
permit is then forwarded to the Director, Division of Land
Resources, for his final consideration and decision. I am advising
you of this matter now so that you may begin work on securing the
required bond.
In order to continue processing your application, please
forward three (3) copies of the requested information to my
attention at the following address :

the groundwater table. If this matter is not clear to your
satisfaction since our Raleigh meeting, please contact me
immediately regarding any matters not understood by your
office. Please note further, that information is now in your
possession regarding the dewatering of the pit pursuant to the
water quality permit allowing the dewatering activities.
17) In response to Item 17, please see the revised map attached
for areas to be utilized for screening of such material .
18) In response to Item 18, please see the revised map attached
and the exhibits thereto.
19) In response to Item 19, see the documents attached from
Raymond Cecile. As we indicated in the Raleigh meeting, the
agreement from Ms. Hollar is not presently available. I will
continue in my efforts gain the signature of Ms. Hollar.
This information should complete your inquiry. Thanking you in
advance for you immediate attention to this matters and the timely
recommendations to the Director for the issuing of this permit.
Sincerely,
Randal S. Marsh
Attorney for Radford Quarries
of Boone, Inc.

1. Toxics Data Form (TDF)
2. Air Toxics Regulations 15A NCAC 2D . 1100 and 2H . 0610
I . GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This section must be completed for facilities required to obtain a toxic air
permit by EMC regulation 15A NCAC. 2H . 0610 and for facilities who emit one or
more of the regulated air toxics listed in 15A NCAC 211 .0610(h) . As 'specified
in 15A NCAC 2H .0610, if facility wide emissions for a listed toxic is above
the amounts listed in 15A NCAC 2H .0610(h) , then a toxic air permit is
required. Specific exemptions from toxic air permitting are contained in 15A
NCAC 2H .0610.
The Attached Toxics Data Form (TDF) must be completed for each r
air emissions
source that emits a listed air toxic pollutant. Include listed air toxic
emissions from stacks, vents, chimneys , processes, and fugitive sources.
Propose maximum emissions for the listed toxics in 15A NCAC 2H .0610(h) that
are emitted by the source. The source ID NO. must correspond to the source I➢
NO. on item 6 of Form A. For assistance in completing this form please contact
the approriate DEM field office listed on the back of Form A.
To comply with 15A NCAC 2H .0610(b) , for each listed air toxic emitted from the
entire facility in excess of the amounts listed in 15A NCAC 2H .0610(h) , air
dispersion modeling is required as part of the toxic air permit application.
Prior to submitting the modeling, the modeling plan must be submitted by the
applicant and approved by this Division. Section III of this form lists items
needed in a modeling plan. Applicants applying under the provisions of 15A NCAC
2H .0610(b)(2) or (c) should contact the Air _Quality S?action .to discuss
� � spe`cific'"requitements "and-the'iriform'et on=needeorfor a—comphiance-
determination.
II . COMPLETING THE ATTACHED TOXIC DATA FORM
Complete a separate form for each air emission source emitting a listed air
toxic pollutant. Form data items are described as follows:
ITEM ( 1) Source ID
Use the same source identification number as assigned on item 6 of Form A
of the AQ-22.
ITEM (2) Source Description
List the source type such as incinerator, spray booth, coal boiler, or
storage tank. Include air cleaning devices if applicable.
ITEM (3) Exhaust Type
Enter the exhaust configuration of the emission source using the codes at
the bottom of the Toxic Data Form. For the purposes of this application
the following definitions apply:
A. Unobstructed Vertical Stack or Chimney - any point in a source designed
to emit solids, liquids or gases into the air, including a pipe or a duct
but not including flares and that is constructed in a vertical direction
` and is void of restrictive obstructions , e.g. , rain caps.

page 2 of 3
B. Obstructed or Nonvertical Stack or Chimney - any point in a
source designed to emit solids, liquids or gases into the air, including a
pipe or a duct but not including flares and that is either constructed in
a nonvertical direction or has a restrictive obstruction, e. g. , rain caps.
C. Other Point Source - an identifiable piece of equipment that is used as
a complete unit to accomplish a specific purpose or produce a specific
product which results in an emission through a vent or functionally
equivalent opening excluding stacks or chimneys. Describe the particular
point source.
D. Fugitive Emissions - those emissions which could not reasonably pass
through a stack, chimney, vent or other functionally equivalent opening.
This includes ponds or lagoons which are used as reservoirs for cooling
water, wastewater, or other liquid mixtures. Routine leaks entering the
atmosphere from pipes, valves, tanks, condensers or other equipment are
also considered fugitive emissions and must be reported.
E. Other - all other emission types not identified by A, B, C or D.
Describe the particular exhaust configuration falling within this
category.
ITEM (4) Toxic Emitted To Atmosphere
For the source, list all the toxic pollutants in 2H . 0610(h) that are
emitted to the outside atmosphere. Use additional forms as needed.

Dear. Mr, Cecile:
Subject: Air Permit No, 2135R4
X & C Crushed Stone
Bamboo Road Quarry
Boone, North Carolina
Watauga County
Reference is made to your letter dated February 16, 1993 ,
claiming that this office erred in not issuing Permit No. 2135R4 in
the name of K & C Crushed Stone.
You were notified in a letter dated February 1, 1993 that
Permit No. 2135R40 issued November 16 , 1992 to K & C Crushed Stone,
Inc. , had been declared null and void since "K & C Crushed Stone,
Inc. " has no valid status as a corporation. You claim that this
office should have issued the permit to e1K & C Crushed Stone", In
fact, the permit application (form AQ-22) was made in the name of
"K C Stone" which also has no valid status as a corporation. Since
the application was made in the context of a permit renewal and
since no specific request was made for a name change, the permit
was issued to K & C Crushed Stone, Inc. , the holder of the previous
permit, Permit No. 2135R3 , If this action was unacceptable to you,
you should have requested a modification within 30 days using the
procedures outlined in paragraphs 2 and 3 of the cover letter for
Permit No. 2135R4 .

It remains the position of. thx.s Division that K & C Crushed
Stone does not hold an Air Quality Permit and to operate crushing,
screening and/or conveying equipment would be a Violation of North
Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143--215. 108, and 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) 2H .O600, "Air Quality Permits. " Each
day that you operated the subject unpermitted equipment could
constitute an additional , Violation 'of 15A NCAC 2H . 0600. Each
violation is subject to enforcement action, including a civil
penalty of up to $10,000 and/or injunctive relief, pursuant to NCGS
143-215.114.
If you wish to operate the equipment you are advised to submit
an application (form AQ-22, enclosed) and acquire a permit for the
equipment prior to operation. Your application must include a copy
of your written request for a "determination of consistency" with
any local government zoning or subdivision ordinance bearing the
date of receipt entered by the clerk of each local government
having jurisdiction (instructions enclosed) . A $50. 00 permit
processing fee is required, and you should submit a check payable
to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources along with your permit application.
Please contact Lisa Edwards or me if you have any questions.

Subject company has not requested reissuance of the NPDES Permit for
_ this facility. The company has submitted a request to our
Winston-Salem Regional Office for "transfer" of the former Air
Quality Permit (previously revoked) to a new entity. Our WSRO staff
have advised the company that a new application will be required,
since the previous permit was revoked. In summary, we have not issued
any new permits for this facility.

when the initial permit was issued to Radford Quarries , the company
has mined within the now existing perimiters of the mine Ote .
Mining activities now are within the established perimeters for
the mile and will be for some time to come . There remains a
substantial volume of stone within the perimeter and the land
disturbing activities will be within that perimeter . It is
anticipated that some benching may be necessary on the east highwall

RE: --Appl"ication for a Mining Permit
Bamboo Road Quarry --_�
C,�-watauga county
Dear Mr. Cecile:
This -office has completed its review of your application for
a mining permit for the above referenced site. In .order for this
office to continue its review of your application, the following
items must be addressed:
✓1) This office needs verification that your corporata.on has
applied for the necessary water quality and air quality
permits for this site. Copies of the completed
application forms should be forwarded to this office for
rnir f i 1 c.c _
✓2) An overall mining permit boundary has not been indicated
on the mine maps. Said boundary must be clearly labeled
on the mine maps to include all existing and proposed
land disturbing activities. All buffer zones , visual
screening, highwall barriers, erosion and sedimentation
control measures, processing and stockpile areas, primary
crusher area, access roads leading to and around the pit
area, and all stripping and mining areas must be located
inside the proposed permit boundary. In addition, a
revised acreage must be provided for the overall permit
area to replace the 9.75 permitted acreage indicated in
item A. 1 . of the application form.
Please note that the above delineation will likely
increase the acreage to be covered by the application.
Therefore, as the permitted acreage will increase,
additional application processing fees will be required
to cover the additional acreage. Please reference the
attached Fee Schedule to determine the additional fee .
required.

✓3) The 100-year ,floodplain line for this section of the
South Fork New River, ,as currently published in the Flood
Insurance Rate Map, Community-Panel No. 370253 002 D,
revised April 16, 1993 , must be clearly labeled on the
mine maps. Once such line is delineated on the mine
maps , all erosion and sedimentation control measures,
stockpile areas and processing areas must be relocated
outside the floodplain line. The revised mine maps must
indicate the new locations of these items and indicate
that any disturbed areas between the floodplain line and
the top of the river bank will be permanently revegetated
with native and wildlife species and -remain undisturbed.
1/4) A revised construction detail is needed for the perimeter
dike proposed to divert all surface water runoff from the
Processing Center to Sediment Basin No. 1 . The dike
detail must clearly indicate that an excavated channel
will be installed at the inside toe of the dike to
sufficiently carry the runoff to the basin without
breaching or overtopping the berm. Design calculations
are also needed for the neri.meter dike/channel svctnm to
support the size and proper stabilization of the channel .
'/5) Design calculations and construction details are needed
for Sediment Basin No. 1 to ensure -that it can handle a
25 year 24 hour storm event and maintain a settling
efficiency of 70% for the 40 micron particle. In
addition, if a riser basin is found to be more
appropriate than the rip-rap filter basin presently
nrnnncPrt - ctinnnrf i na r-al r-»l afi nnc fnr a 1 1 a-_nPrtc of t-ho
principle and emergency spillway systems must be
provided. Please note that the basin must be constructed
in natural ground below any fill areas and cannot be
located in the fill material itself. The emergency
spillway must also be constructed in natural ground.
✓6) As required by the attached memorandum from the
Department of Cultural Resources, Division of Archives
and History, please forward a set of the mine maps
directly to Ms. Renee Gledhill-Earley at the address
indicated at the bottom of the memorandum. This office
has maintained only one copy of the mine maps and does
not have the facilities to generate a copy of the mine
maps for Ms. Earley's use. Please provide this office
verification that said maps have been forwarded to Ms.
Earley as requested.

1/7) Attached for your information and consideration is a copy
of the May 6, 1993 memorandum sent to this office by the
Wildlife Resources Commission regarding their revised
comments on your application. The majority of their
concerns and recommendations have been incorporated into
the contents of this letter.
✓8) The visual screening proposed in the application form and
indicated on the mine maps does not appear to be feasible
or safe for vehicles entering or exiting both sides of SR
1514 at the proposed operation. It is recommended that
this screening be eliminated from the maps and replaced
by proposed screening, such as trees and shrubs, directly
in front of the shop and processing plant on the west
side of SR 1514 and in front of the primary crusher on
the east side of SR 1514 . This revised screening will
provide a direct visual screen for these aspects of the
operation while providing a recessed screen that will not
interfere with sight distance on SR 1514. Locations and
details for this revised screening, or other similar
alternative, must be provided on the mine maps . •
✓9) All access roads to be utilized to access any stripping
and mine areas on the east side of SR 1514 must be
located within the mining permit boundary and must have
properly designed and constructed erosion and
sedimentation control measures to prevent offsite
sedimentation. Locations , design calculations and
construction details for each structure must be provided.
How will the access road be stabilized that exits onto
the east side of SR 1514? A construction entrance
detail , with corresponding stabilized side ditches, must
be provided to prevent,tracking of sediment onto SR 1514 .
✓10) In the application form and on Sheet 2 of 4 of the mine
maps, it was indicated that the mine excavation will be
dewatered. However, the location of the discharge pump '
and corresponding pipe to the river has not been located
on the mine maps. Please indicate the locations of these
items as well as the location of the culvert under SR
1514 and the approximate discharge point in the river.
It was also noted in -the application form that a closed
system "recycling tank" will be utilized at the site.
Please indicate its location on the mine maps and provide
a schematic diagram of this system.

✓ 11 ) Is the bold line around the "Quarry Site" on Sheet 2 of
4 of the mine maps the proposed 10-year limit of the mine
excavation? A typical cross-section of the pit must be
provided to clearly indicate the permit boundary, buffer
zone width, highwall barrier, safety ledge , the 2
horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter overburden slope, the
minimum 10 foot wide safety bench at the toe of said
slope, and subsequent benching of the quarry face.
Please be sure to clearly label on the mine maps the
width of the undisturbed buffer zone that will be
maintained between the top of the mine excavation and the
permit boundary on all sides 'of the site.
Please note that the application form states that all
overburden will be sloped to a 3 horizontal to 1
vertical . This angle does not appear to be practical in
some areas if the bold line is the proposed limit of
disturbed area. In addition, present , unconsolidated
slopes on the south side of the pit area are steeper than
a 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slope. As presently
indicated on the maps, these slopes could not be• graded
to a 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slope within the permit
boundaries. Please be advised that this office will not
allow any slopes steeper than a 2 horizontal to 1
vertical without a geotechnical report to indicate that
a steeper slope will be stable. Therefore, you must
clarify this issue.
✓12) If the areas encompassed by the bold lines are intended
to be the Ai rhnA areas at the cite th; o nf'f; l.o measured these areas and arrived at the following
approximate acreage:
a) 2 . 82 acres for the Processing Center
b) 8.52 acres for the Quarry Site
Furthermore, additional areas that will be utilized by
the operation that were not included within the bold
lines are as follows:
c) 0 .67 acres for the primary crusher along SR 1514
d) 0. 71 acres for access roads south of the Quarry
Site shown on the map, used to access the stripping
and mining areas

Mr. Cecile
May 14 , 1993
Page 5
As can be noted from the above information, the acreage
to be disturbed that is outlined on pages 2 and 3 of the
application will need to be revised. This information
also supports the fact that greater than 9 . 75 acres will
need to be permitted at this site to include these
existing and proposed disturbed areas at the site. The
mine maps will also need to be revised to clearly define
the acreage and boundaries of all areas to be disturbed
as part of the mining operation. In addition,_ the
boundaries of all disturbed areas must be_properly marked
at the site, once the mine maps -have been revised to
include the above information, to facilitate this
office's site evaluation of this application during the
application review process.
/13 ) Sheet 4 of 4 indicates that the disturbed area at the
site is 58 acres. Is this supposed to be the acreage to
be permitted? Does this include both sides of SR 1514?
Please clarify this issue.
✓ 14) Will blasting at the site be designed and conducted by an
experienced blasting company? How many times a week or
month will shots be pulled at this site? Please be
advised that if a permit is issued for this site, it will -
rarmi ra that riata i 1 ari hl act rar nraQ ho mn i nta i narl nnr9 a
seismograph be utilized for each blast conducted at the
site. This is a standard operating condition for quarry
operations across the state.
i
✓15) Clarification is still needed regarding notification of
adjoining landowners as outlined in my letter to you
dated April 29, 1993 (copy attached) . In addition to the
above, please be sure to provide this office verification
that the landowners of the property upon which the site
is located have been properly notified. This would
appear to be Ms . Jenny Hollar on the east side of SR 1514
and Mr. Raymond Cecile on the west side of SR 1514 .
✓16) on page 2 of the application, items A.4 .a.and b.
indicates that the mine depth will be 120 feet.
Furthermore, on page 8 of the application, item 10.a.
indicates that the depth to the groundwater table at the
site is 40 feet. However, item 1o.b. indicates that the
excavation will not extend below the groundwater table.
In light of the above and the fact that the excavation
will be dewatered, how can this be correct? This
discrepancy must be addressed.

Mr. Cecile
May 14 , .1993

✓17) The location and acreage of all scrap metal , junk
equipment and parts, and other refuse must be clearly
indicated on the mine maps. How and when will this
material be removed from the site and properly disposed
of offsite?
✓18) The -Revegetation Plan must be revised to provide seeding
mixtures, seeding rates and seeding dates for year-round
seeding at the site
,/19) The attached Land Entry Agreement- must be completed by
you as well as all owners of record of the land upon
which the mine site is located ( i .e. , Ms. Jenny Hollar
and Mr. Raymond Cecile) .
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS OFFICE CANNOT CONTINUE ITS REVIEW
OF YOUR APPLICATION UNTIL ALL OF THE ABOVE' ITEMS HAVE BEEN

NOTICE OF VIOLATION OF MINING PERMIT
Mr. Raymond Cecile
Radford Quarries , Inc.
P. 0. Box 1114
North Wilkesboro, NO 28659
RE: Blasting Complaint
Bamboo Road Quarry
Mining Permit No. r95-0�
Watauga County
Bear Mr. Cecile:
This is to inform you of a violation of Mining Permit No. 9( 5=03)issued to
your company to operate the Bamboo Road Quarry in Watauga County.
The Department has recently received a complaint directed at blasting
practices conducted at your facility. According to the complainant, Ms. Jennie
Hollar, the vibrations produced from the blasting have become increasingly
disruptive over the last several months . Of particular concern are blasts that
were conducted on May 30, 1988, .August 4, 1988, May 2, 1990, May 7 , 1990, May
12, 1990 and June 4, 1990. Most importantly, several incidents of flyrock have
occurred over the past several years an as far back as 1984. This constitutes
a violation of Operating Condition No. 6Cof your mining permit which governs
the control of flyrock at this mine.
The following actions must be taken to correct this violation:
1. Immediately suspend all further use of explosives at the Bamboo Road
Quarry until further notice.
2. As provided for in the mining permit for this site , you m� submit in
duplicate to the Department, within 10 days following your receipt of
this Notice, copies of all blast records related to blasts conducted
on the above referenced dates including any seismograph recordings
made. Furthermore; all blast records for one (1) production shot
conducted immediately prior to May 30, 1988 and after June 4 , . 1990
must also be forwarded for review.

3. Submit in duplicate to the Department, within 10 days following your
receipt of this Notice , a complete blast investigation report which
addresses the flyrock incidents at the site. Said report shall
contain, hLit not 'be limited tos t.h.e fnllnwina blast logs
seismograph records , a scaled map showing the exact location of the
offsite damages ar,d actions taken to repair these damages , probable
cause(s) of the flyrock, description of the blasting procedures
employed at the time of the incidents, and what changes will be rude
in the procedures to ensure that flyrock will not exit the guarded
area in the future .
You will be notified i the above report and records meet with the approval
of the Department and the suspension on the use of explosives will be lifted at
that time. Should the reoor-t and/or records not meet with Department approval
you will be notified of the deficiences and the suspension shall remain in
effect until any such defic-iencies have been satisfied.
Failure to take the corrective actions within the time frames specified
above will result in the assessment of a civil penalty against you . If a civil
penalty is assessed, the amount may be up to one-hundred dollars ($100.00) for
each day of violation, beginning with the date of your receipt of this Notice of
Violation (N.C.G.S. 74-64) . Other enforcement action may include seeking an
injunction or revoking your mining permit.
The responsibility for understanding and complying with the conditions_ of
your mining permit rests with you.
I suggest you contact �`,s. Hollar directly and discuss this matter with her,
possibly making arrangements to monitor a series of shots at her home with a
seismograph. Her address is : Route 5, Box 99, Boone, NC 28607 , (704)

RE: Bamboo Road Quarry
Watauga County
Dear Mr . Cecile :
This is to inform you that your firm is
violating the Mining Act of 1971 by operating a mine
without a permit as required by North Carolina General
Statutes 74-46 , et seq. , as amended ( herein after referred
to as NCGS 74-46 ) . You are hereby directed to cease mining
until a mining permit is obtained .
A review of our. files found that the mining permit for
the Bamboo Road Quarry expired on December 13 , 1990 .
Therefore, any activity at this operation is without a
valid permit.
Under the Mining Act , no person may operate a mine
• without first obtaining a mining permit and also posting a
bond to ensure that the site is reclaimed. Mining is
defined by NCGS 74-49 as :
The breaking of the surface soil in order to facilitate
or accomplish the extraction or removal of minerals ,
ores or other solid matter ;

intention to comply with the Mining Act.
2 . File the attached application for a permit, including a
reclamation plan to restore any damage to the area that
will be affected within 30 days .
3 . Post a bond or other form of security acceptable to the

S . As an alternative to filing for a mining permit you may
immediately initiate reclamation of this site and
complete the reclamation within 30 days of receipt of
this Notice. Please contact me immediately if you wish
to reclaim this site .
Violations of The Mining Act are subject to a civil
penalty of u to $5 000 . 00 for each day of a continuin
violation. A penalty may be assessed for violations

Dear Mr . Spake;
I have received from you a flood elevation certification , (undated)
and accompanying topographic map for the Radford Quarry site
located off bamboo Road . After review of this information the
following comments apply:
1 ) Although the certificate indicates that the, "fill area " is
outside of the 100-year flood hazard area , the published
Flood Insurance Study for Boone shows the project to be
located within the floodway of the South Fork of the New
River, (Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community-Panel No .
370253 0002 D, Map Revised Apmil 16, 1993 ) . 1t is the
understanding of this office after discussions with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, that under the
National Flood Insurance Program, regardless of the source
of discrepancy, the published data takes precedence for
regulatory purposes until a requested Letter of Map
Revision is approved by FEMA.
2 ) The topographic map originally submitted with the Elevation
Certification needs to to be re-submitted to this office
with the current ficodway, as shown on the Flood Insurance
Rate Map referenced in Comment #I , shown .
Please call if you have any questions .
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tracy Davis, Mining Specialist
Land Quality Section
FROM: Stephanie E. Goudreau, Mt. Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 6, 1993
SUBJECT: Revised comments on application for mining permit by
Radford Quarries of Boone for Bamboo Road Quarry,
Watauga County
I recentlyreviewed the minin - �gpermit renewal application
submitted by Radford Quarries of Boone for the Sambbo Road Quarry
in Watauga County and responded to you in a memorandum dated
April 19, 1993 . Subsequent to this action, I conducted a site
visit with Mr. Randy Marsh on May 6, 1993 . These comments are
provided in accordance with certain 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 seg. ) .
During the site visit, I expressed concern to Mr. Marsh that
recommendations outlined by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) in a previous memorandum dated June 4 , 1991 to
Ms. Beth Studenberg of your office have never been implemented at
the processing site. The applicant indicated willingness to do
all work necessary to protect the aquatic resources of the South
Fork New River from sedimentation.
The applicant and I agreed that the following modifications
are necessary to minimize sedimentation:
1) j The existing berm near- the, processing area should be ,
repaired and maintained starting near the road- and'
continuing to the field. The berm should not sncroach upon
established vegetation in the riparian zone. The berm may
be constructed of rock or earth. If an earthen berm is
constructed, it should be immediately seeded with a standard
mixture or rescue and sericea lespedeza and covered with
temporary ground cover until vegetation becomes established.

2) An undisturbed vegetated buffer zone of at least 50 feet
wide should be preserved between the berm and the river.
The buffer zone should be measured from the edge of ordinary
high water to the edge of the berm.
3) The old sediment basin near the field should be brought up
to -current standards and run-off from the processing area
directed into this basin. Trapping efficiency should be
based on surface area rather than volume.
4) The sediment basin should be dipped out when half full of
deposited material so that a major rainfall will not cause
the basin to overflow.
The NCWRC does not object to the renewal of this permit,
provided the above conditions are met. Thank you for the
opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have
any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at
704/652-4257.

Re: Mining Permit Application Request for Radford Quarries of Boone,

Bamboo Road Quarry
Watauga County
Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit
application for the above referenced project.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this
operation having unduly adverse effect on wildlife and freshwater fisheries
(G. S. 74-51 (2) ) . Please respond by April 30 , 1993 so that we may complete
our review of this request within our statutory time limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications, renewals
and modifications, this office will carefully review all proposed erosion and
sediment control measures to ensure that they are sufficient to restrain
erosion and off-site sedimentation. However, any comments your agency can
provide regarding effects on wildlife and freshwater fisheries would be
greatly appreciated. If your staff wishes to perform a site inspection, it
is recommended that they contact the person submitting this request to set up
a convenient date and time. Also, please send a copy of your comments to the
person noted in the application.
Your continued cooperation . in the review of these type requests is
greatly appreciated. Please contact Mr. Tracy Davis at (919) 733-4574 if you
have any questions.

SUBJECT: Application for mining permit by Radford Quarries of
Boone for Bamboo Road Quarry, Watauga County
Staff field biologists of the North Carolina '"'ilidlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the mining permit
renewal application submitted by Radford Quarries of Boone for
the Bamboo Road Quarry in Watauga County. These comments are
provided in accordance with certain 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. ) .
The NCWRC previously commented on this mining permit in a
memorandum dated June 4 , 1991 to Ms. Beth Studenberg of the Land
Quality Section (see attached) . The processing area is easily
visible from SR 1514 (Bamboo Road) , and a recent drive-by
inspection failed to show that recommendations 1 through 4 have
been implemented at the mine site, making us question whether or
not recommendations 5 and 6 have been implemented.
As emphasized in our previous memorandum, our major concern
with the Bamboo Road Quarry is adverse impacts to aquatic
resources of the South Fork New River which flows adjacent to the
processing area. In nearly two years since our last inspection,
little or no effort seems to have been made on the part of the
applicant to bring sedimentation controls up to current standards
so that they are adequate to protect the river from
sedimentation.
The NCWRC will not object to the issuance of this mining
permit, provided the recommendations outlined in our memorandum
of June 4 , 1991 are implemented in a timely manner by the
applicant. If adequate protection from sedimentation is not

provided by the applicant, the NCWRC cannot support the issuance
of this permit.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. If you have any questions regarding these comments,
please contact me at 704/652-4257 .

. .. county. .
Staff field biologists of the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) conducted a site visit on June
4 , 1991 and have reviewed the application for a mining
permit renewal from Radford Quarries, Inc. Our comments are
provided in accordance with certain provisions of the N.C.
Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982 ; ,G.S. 74-46 et seg. ; 15
NCAC 5) and the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-
131 at seq. ) . . .. .t
Radford Quarries, Inc. is requesting a 10 year permit
renewal to mine crushed stone from the ,Bamboo Road Quarry.
Total acreage of the project site is 10 ,acres on either side
of Bamboo, Road (SR 1599) ,... Stone is mined using shovel and
truck in the quarry pit, The surrounding area consists of
forested uplands. The pit is dewaiered by pumping storm and
waste water into a sedimentation basin, from which it is
pumped into a concrete culvert under Bamboo Road and into
the South Fork New River. Stone Js conveyed under the road
to the processing area, where it ' is washed using a recycling
water system. .Stone and spoil are stockpiled nearby and are
.separated from; the river in.,some .areas. by, a gravel and
riprap berm. ,;The;.processing; site is ,partially situated in
the , floodplain' of the .South Fork New River and encroaches
upon the riparian, .zone. A�_field ,borders.,the processing site
to the east.
The NCWRC is concerned over the adverse impact mining
operations are having on aquatic resources in the South Fork
New River through- sedimentation. ., -,Sedimentation controls are
presently inadequate to protect :the •.river; the. .river

Memo Page 2 June 4 , 1991
contains a heavy load of silt in this area. Sedimentation
and turbidity have the potential to reduce fish numbers
through habitat destruction, reduced oxygen levels, lower
levels of food and reduced reproduction. .
The NCWRC will not object to the renewal of the permit,
providing :the • following conditions ,ar,e� met by the applicant:
1) An earthen berm should be built near the processing
area starting near the . road-and continuing to the
field. The berm should not encroach upon established
vegetation in the 11rGiL A. 1l GV11G. 1 1C 1J�llll �11V LL.LU W
seeded with a standard mixture of fescue and sericea
lespedeza and covered with temporary ground cover until
vegetation becomes established.
2) A buffer zone of at least ' 50' feet should be
maintained between ' the earthen berm and the river. At
present the vegetated buffer zone is too narrow in some
areas near the stockpiles.
3) The corrugated plastic pipe that conveys run off
through the existing riprap berm should' be removed when
the earthen berm is constructed, and a sediment basin
should be excavated in this area in front of the new
berm. ' Trapping efficiency should be based on surface
area rather than volume.
4) The abandoned sediment basin near the field should
be brought back into ' use.. 'The area near the stockpiles
should_ be graded to direct run bff to the field and
into this basin. The basin may need to be brought up
to current standards. Again, trapping efficiency
should be based on surface, area rather than volume.
5) The' sediment basin used in themprocess of dewatering
the mine pit must be brought up to current standards if
lacking to ensure' ' that high quality water is flowing
into the South''Fork New River. '
6) All sediment basins must be dipped out and cleaned
when they are half full of 'deposited material so that a
major rainfall"will not- cause the basins to overflow.
In .conclusion, the NCWRC cannot support a permit
renewal without the incorporation"bf 'the conditions as
stated above. We- look forward to 'achieving• adequate
sedimentation protection for South Fork New River at ' this
site. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment
on this application. If we can provide further assistance,
please advise.

when the initial permit was issued to Radford Quarries, the company
has mined within the now existing perimiters of the mine site .
Mining activities now are within the established perimeters for
the mine and will be for some time to come . There remains a
substantial volume of stone within the perimeter and the land
disturbing activities will be within that perimeter . It is
anticipated that some benching may be necessary on the east highwall
perimeter in 1993 or 1994 .

Re: Radford Quarries of Boone, Inc.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Watauga County, as an adjoining property owner, is in receipt
of the notice of application for a surface mining permit by Radford
Quarries of Boone, Inc. We are aware that there have been problems
with this operation, including flooding violations, sedimentation
of the New River and stockpiling of junk. We are also aware that
these and other problems have resulted in litigation involving the
quarry, the Town of Boone and the State of North Carolina. In
light of that, as well as the various citizen comments and
complaints regarding the quarry received by the County government,
we feel that a public hearing on the permit application would be
appropriate, and advisable.

We have received additional information concerning the above project from
Municipal Engineering Services in Boone.
Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it
is unlikely that any archaeological sites which may be eligible for inclusion in the
National Reaister of Historic Places will be affected by the proposed borrowing.
We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in
connection with this project.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions
concerning the above comments, please contact Ms. Renee Gledhill-Earley,
Environmental Review Coordinator, at 919/733-4763.
