Permit Modification Request ;NfiV;NG PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Parr,
Enclosed are original and six copies of Mining Permit Application materials requesting
modification of Permit No. 53-10 for the Moncure Quarry. The purpose of this modification is to add
4.7 acres of stockpile area. We are also requesting approval to construct a temporary access road from
Deep River Road to the overburden storage area in the southwest area of the site to provide borrow
material for the NC DOT infrastructure associated with the Triangle Innovation Point development in
Chatham County. The approved DOT driveway access permit is attached to the application.
The enclosed permit modification application provides for a total of 4.7 acres of permanent new
land disturbing activities within the existing permit boundary. The temporary access road will be a
30'-wide stone surface road (as shown on the attached Site Plans) to allow highway dump trucks to
transport borrow material offsite from the overburden storage area.
As indicated on the attached Site Plan Map, the amount of land currently covered under this
permit is 257.26 acres,with 199.0 acres approved for disturbance. Following the requested
modification,203.7 acres will be"affected," with no change to the total acreage under permit..
Pursuant to the Application Fee Schedule,we are enclosing our check in the amount of$750 for
the permit modification application processing fee. If you have any questions concerning this
modification request,please call me at(919) 266-1100.

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.
Moncure Quarry is an existing, currently operating quarry operation. This permit
modification application is for a 4.7 acre expansion of the stockpile area as indicated
on the attached Site Plan and E&SC (pages 1-4). We are also requesting through this
application approval to install a temporary stone surface access road, as indicated on
the attached plans, to provide access to the overburden storage pile for use as borrow
material for NC DOT infrastructure work associated with the Triangle Innovation Point
development in Chatham County, including the VinFast EV manufacturing site.
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.
Erosion and sediment control for the proposed stockpile expansion and temporary access road will be provided as illustrated on
the accompanying Site Plans.Currently,all stormwater runoff at Moncure Quarry is conveyed by ditches to the mine quarry pits,
where It is treated by retention in large pit sumps and either pumped to the closed-loop recycled process reservoir(s)or
discharged under the provisions of NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG020003.Silt fence and temporary diversions will be
installed as illustrated to prevent off-site sedimentation.Runoff from the stockpile expansion during construction will be directed
through a 24"corrugated metal pipe to an existing ditch to the"satellite"pit.As fill is placed in lifts and compacted,slope drains
will be utilized to cant'stormwater safely down the fill slope to the culvert crossing and slopes will be stabilized with appropriate
vegetation.Ultimately,final grade of the new stockpile area will direct runoff to the northeast,again to the quarry pit.The
temporary access road will follow existing terrain and will be constructed with a stable stone surface comprised of 4-6 inches of
"surge"base material(6"minus).Runoff from all areas of excavation of the overburden storage area will be easily directed to the
western pit.
3. A)Will the operation involve wash'n the material mined,recycling process water,or other wastewater handling?
YES NO
If yes,briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
Process water used in washing of stone is retained in a closed-loop system
consisting of a reservoir and process water settling basin. Make-up water is
added to the system as needed from the pit sump discharge.
B)Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater 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 the mine map(s).
Accumulated, co-mingled runoff and groundwater is periodically discharged from
the pit sumps. Excess water(water that is not needed as make-up water as
described above) is discharged to an unnamed tributary to Deep River under the
conditions of NPDES/Stormwater General Permit No. NCG020003. Discharged
water flows through a 24" I.D., dual wall corrugated polyethylene pipe. The pipe
discharges directly onto a bedrock outcrop in the receiving tributary.

C)Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s)extend below the water table?
IYES ❑ NO
If yes,do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)?
a YES FINO
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 295,200.00
If yes,what impact,if any,will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?Locate all existing wells on the mine
maps)that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statement
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 0.2952 MGD average pumping rate indicated above includes precipitation collected in the
pit, as there is no way to separate groundwater from precipitation runoff.Approximately half of
that water is used as make-up water for the process reservoir. Dewatering activities in
meta-volcanic formations have not been shown to have an adverse effect on neighboring wells.
Quarry facilities are serviced by a public water system, but there is still an existing operational
well on site.
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.

beneficial at this site.
Will the body(s)of water be stocked with fish?
FIYES F ]NO
If yes,specify species.
At the time of final reclamation, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission will be contacted for assistance in determining the suitability of the
post-reclamation lake for fish stocking.
3. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all completed excavations in rock including what
kind of permanent barricade will be left.Acceptable permanent barricades are appropriate fencing,large boulders
placed end-to-end,etc. Construction details and locations of all permanent barricades must be shown on the

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
TYPICAL RE-VEGETATION PLAN
Site Preparation
Land surfaces will be graded and shaped as necessary to create topography applicable to the final
use of the land.Slopes in unconsolidated material will be graded to a stable slope not to exceed two
horizontal to one vertical. Loose rocks,woody material,and other obstructions that would interfere
with the establishment of vegetation will be removed and either buried or properly disposed of off-
site. Surface runoff will be controlled by use of diversions and terraces to allow discharge through
protected outlets.
Seed Bed Preparation
Lime and fertilizer will be incorporated into the soil to a depth of three to four inches on areas
where conventional equipment can be used. On slopes steeper than 2:1,soils will be scarified along
the contour for seed and nutrient retention. Lime and fertilizer will be applied according to soil tests
for the areas being re-vegetated,generally at a rate of 1,000 lbs.of 10-10-10 and 2,000 lbs.of lime
per acre. Newly seeded areas will be mulched with small grain straw spread evenly over the surface
at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 tons per acre. One steep slope area not accessible to seeding equipment,seed,
nutrients, and mulch will be applied by hand.
Re-vegetation Species
Seed mixtures typically include some combination,depending on the season, of the following:
fescue, rye grain, Bahia ass, Kobe lespedeza, Korean lespedeza, sericea lespedeza, bicolor
lespedeza,white ladino clover, partridge pea, and native warm season grasses.
Fall or early spring plantings will utilize 100 lbs. fescue and 50 lbs. rye grain per acre. Late
spring plantings may include up to 40 lbs. Kobe/Korean lespedeza per acre where desirable to
supplement deer browse. Native warm season grasses will be utilized along with Kobe/Korean
lespedeza to enhance feeding and nesting areas for wildlife. Sericea lespedeza will be planted at a
rate of 20 to 40 lbs. per acre in combination with fescue when planting draughty soils or steep
slopes. Clover will be added to deer browse areas at a rate of 3-5 lbs.per acre in fall or early spring
plantings.
When using lespedeza species in fall plantings,non-scarified seed will be used. Scarified seed
will be used in spring plantings. When using clover in wildlife plantings,inoculated seeds will be
used.
Loblolly pine and red cedar seedlings will be planted at selected sites to provide visual screens.
Shrubs and Mast-bearing hardwoods such as those of the white oak subgenera may also be planted to
enhance wildlife habitat.

Calculated Value
Reference Data
Designed By: LCA Date: 8/16/2023
Checked By: Date:
Company: WSC
Project Name: Stockpile
Project No.: 1
Site Location (City/Town) Moncure
Watershed Basin Id. 306
The rational formula is:
Q = CIA
where:
Q =peak rate of runoff in cubic feet per second(cfs)
C = runoff coefficient, an empirical coefficient representing the
relationship between rainfall rate and runoff rate
I = average intensity of rainfall in inches./hour, for a storm duration equal
to the time of concentration, Tc
A = drainage area in acres
The general procedure for determining peak discharge using the rational
formula is presented below and illustrated in Sample Problem 8.03a.
Step 1. Determine the drainage area in acres.
Total Drainage Area 5.7
Step 2. Determine the runoff coefficient, C, for the type of sod/cover in the
drainage area (Table 8.03b).

value can be determined directly from Table 8.03b. If there are multiple soil
cover conditions, a weighted average must be calculated, or the area may be
subdivided.
Subarea A (acres) 4.7
Subarea A Runoff Coefficient 0.4 Runoff Coefficient
Subarea B (acres) 1
Subarea B Runoff Coefficient 0.15
Subarea C (acres)
Subarea C Runoff Coefficient
Subarea D (acres)
Subarea D Runoff Coefficient
Weighted Runoff Coefficient 0.3561404
