Introduction
As part of the approval of a Special Use Permit by the Harnett County Board of
Adjustment on January 9, 2023, for the +/- 177 acres Covington Road Property, PIN # 0576-80-
7529.000 (the Subject Property), Heidelberg Materials (f/k/a Hanson Aggregates, and
hereinafter "Heidelberg Materials") agreed to institute a Well Protection Program (WPP) for
property owners located near the Subject Property. Only property owners located on Byrd's Mill
Road between Covington Road and NC Highway 217, Harnett County, North Carolina, shall be
the beneficiaries of this WPP (hereafter"eligible property owners").
Program
If, after the start of mining operations on the Subject Property, an eligible property owner
incurs well failure (well ceases to produce water) for any reason other than outlined below, he or
she shall give written notice to Heidelberg Materials outlining their well situation and shall ask
Heidelberg Materials to move forward with the provisions of the Well Protection Program as
outlined within this document.
Following property owner written notification, Heidelberg Materials will provide a
temporary source of potable water to the property owner, and upon verification of the water-
producing failure, Heidelberg Materials, at its sole expense, shall move forward in providing a
new permanent water source. Subject to availability and at Heidelberg Materials' sole discretion
following consultation with the well owner, the new permanent water source will be either a new
drilled well or connection to the existing county water source.
All written notices required by the above shall be sent to: Heidelberg Materials
Aggregates Southeast LLC, 3825 Barrett Drive, Suite 300, Raleigh, NC 27609. Attention:
General Manager.
To expedite the process a second notice may be hand delivered to: Elliott Sand Plant,
4880 NC Highway 217, Erwin, NC 28339. Attention: Plant Manager.
Replacement Water Sources
If an eligible property owner's well has gone dry, excluding mechanical failure, failure to
provide normal maintenance of the system, or drought, Heidelberg Materials shall use its best
efforts to provide a suitable substitute water source to the property owner at Heidelberg
Materials' sole expense within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving the written complaint.
Heidelberg Materials shall continue to supply a suitable substitute water source until such time
that a new well is drilled, or connection is made to the existing public water system.
