Engineers, Wilmington District Washington Regulatory Field Office, Attn: Ms. Emily
1

CE SAW RG (File Number, SAW 2019-00233)
Thompson, 2407 West 51h Street, Washington, NC 27889, or
[e-mail]. The Permittee shall reference the following permit
number, SAW-2019-00233, on all submittals.
7. Permit Revocation: The Permittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this
permit or upon its expiration before completion of the work will, without expense to the
United States and in such time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his
authorized representative may direct, restore the water or wetland to its pre-project
condition.
8. Reporting Violations: Violation of these permit conditions or violation of Section 404
of the Clean Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act shall be reported to
the Corps in writing and by telephone at: 910-251-4629 within 24 hours of the
Permittee's discovery of the violation.
9. Endangered Species Act: The Permittee shall implement all necessary measures
to ensure the authorized activity does not kill, injure, capture, harass, or otherwise harm
any federally-listed threatened or endangered species. While accomplishing the
authorized work, if the Permittee discovers or observes an injured or dead threatened or
endangered species, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District
Washington Field Office, Attn: Ms. Emily Thompson, 2407 West 5th Street, Washington,
NC 27889, or [e-mail] will be immediately notified to initiate
the required Federal coordination.
• A wooded buffer greater than 330 feet shall be maintained from the known
Bald eagle nest and no work shall occur within 660 feet of the nest location
between 1 December and 15 July of each year.
• Tricolored Bat (TCB) Special Condition: Suitable habitat for tricolored bat
(Perimyotis subflavus) may be present at the site. On September 14, 2022,
the USFWS published a proposal in the Federal Register to list the tricolored
bat as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The permittee
understands and agrees that all work associated with the clearing and
removal of trees and removal or modification of culverts must be completed
prior to the effective date of the final listing in the Federal Register. Work
associated with the aforementioned activities not completed by that time must
cease and the permittee must contact the Corps (Attn: Emily Thompson via
email at [e-mail]) to determine if additional
coordination with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service is required under
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act prior to continuing work.
10. Biological Opinion: This Department of the Army permit does not authorize you to
take an endangered species, in particular the Northern long-eared bat, Myotis
septentrionalis. In order to legally take a listed species, you must have separate
authorization under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (e.g., an ESA Section 10
permit, or a BO under ESA Section 7, with "incidental take" provisions with which you
must comply). The enclosed U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinion (BO)
dated September 25, 2023, contains mandatory terms and conditions to implement the
2

CE SAW-RG (File Number, SAW 2019-00233)
reasonable and prudent measures that are associated with "incidental take" that is also
specified in the BO. Your authorization under this permit is conditional upon your
compliance with all of the mandatory terms and conditions associated with incidental
take of the attached BO, which terms and conditions are incorporated by reference in
this permit. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions associated with incidental
take of the BO, where a take of the listed species occurs, would constitute an
unauthorized take, and it would also constitute non-compliance with your permit. The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the appropriate authority to determine compliance with
the terms and conditions of its BO, and with the ESA.
• The applicant shall notify USFWS of the status of the project by May 1, 2024, via
email (kathryn matthews ffws.gov}.
11. Maintain Flows and Circulation Patterns of Waters: Except as specified in the
plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land-clearing activities
shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, in such a
manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within waters or wetlands or
to reduce the reach of waters and/or wetlands.
12. Sediment and Erosion Control:
1) During the clearing phase of the project, heavy equipment shall not be
operated in surface waters or stream channels. Temporary stream crossings will be
used to access the opposite sides of stream channels. All temporary diversion channels
and stream crossings will be constructed of non-erodible materials. Grubbing of riparian
vegetation will not occur until immediately before construction begins on a given
segment of stream channel.
2) No fill or excavation impacts for the purposes of sedimentation and erosion
control shall occur within jurisdictional waters, including wetlands, unless the impacts
are included on the plan drawings and specifically authorized by this permit. This
includes, but is not limited to, sediment control fences and other barriers intended to
catch sediment losses.
3) The Permittee shall remove all sediment and erosion control measures placed
in waters and/or wetlands, and shall restore natural grades on those areas, prior to
project completion.
4) The Permittee shall use appropriate sediment and erosion control practices
which equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual"to ensure compliance with
the appropriate turbidity water quality standard. Erosion and sediment control practices
shall be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to ensure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standards. This
shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt fencing or similar
appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of
3

CE SAW RG (File Number, SAW 2019-00233)
earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the
project shall remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution
Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4). Adequate
sedimentation and erosion control measures shall be implemented prior to any ground
disturbing activities to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic resources. These
measures shall be inspected and maintained regularly, especially following rainfall
events. All fill material shall be adequately stabilized at the earliest practicable date to
prevent sediment from entering into adjacent waters or wetlands.
13. Clean Fill: The Permittee shall use only clean fill material for this project. The fill
material shall be free of items such as trash, construction debris, metal and plastic
products, and concrete block with exposed metal reinforcement mars. Soils used for fill
shall not be contaminated with any toxic substance in concentrations governed by
Section 307 of the Clean Water Act. Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, all fill
material placed in waters or wetlands shall be generated from an upland source.
14. Water Contamination: All mechanized equipment shall be regularly inspected and
maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants,
hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or
any other hazardous waste, the Permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division
of Water Resources at [phone] or(800) 858-0368 and provisions of the North
Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act shall be followed.
15. Aquatic Life Movement: No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life
cycle movements of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including
those species that normally migrate through the area. All discharges of dredged or fill
material within waters of the United States shall be designed and constructed to
maintain low flows to sustain the movement of aquatic species.
16. Prohibitions on Concrete: The Permittee shall take measures necessary to
prevent live or fresh concrete, including bags of uncured concrete, from coming into
contact with any water in or entering into waters of the United States. Water inside
coffer dams or casings that has been in contact with concrete shall only be returned to
waters of the United States when it no longer poses a threat to aquatic organisms
(concrete is set and cured).
Compensatory Mitigation
17. In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall be
provided in accordance with the provisions outlined on the most recent version of the
attached Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form. The requirements of
this form, including any special conditions listed on this form, are hereby incorporated
as special conditions of this permit.

as altered by the work in the mitigation plan, in perpetuity. Prohibited activities within the
mitigation site specifically include, but are not limited to: Filling; grading; excavating;
earth movement of any kind; construction of roads, walkways, buildings, signs, or any
other structure; any activity that may alter the drainage patterns on the property; the
destruction, cutting, removal, mowing, or other alteration of vegetation on the property;
disposal or storage of any garbage, trash, debris or other waste material; graze or water
animals, or use for any agricultural or horticultural purpose; or any other activity which
would result in the property being adversely impacted or destroyed, except as
specifically authorized by this permit.
4) The Permittee shall not sell or otherwise convey any interest in the mitigation
property used to satisfy the mitigation requirements for this permit to any third party,
without prior written approval from the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers.
5) Monitoring wells were installed on February 27, 2023, and will be collecting
data until the end of February 2024 to establish a baseline for monitoring during the
growing season. No overburden material shall be removed until after the baseline for
monitoring has been established.
19. Conservation Easement:
1) The Permittee shall preserve and maintain the 94.89 acres of Department of
the Army (DA)jurisdictional wetlands indicated on the attached plat. The Permittee is
prohibited from performing any of the following activities on the property: Filling;
grading; excavating; earth movement of any kind; construction of roads, walkways,
buildings, signs, or any other structure; any activity that may alter the drainage patterns
on the property; the destruction, mowing, or other alteration of vegetation on the
property; disposal or storage of any garbage, trash, or other waste material; or any
other activity which would result in the wetlands being adversely impacted or destroyed.

CE SAW RG (File Number, SAW- 2019-00233)
2) Prior to initiating work authorized by this permit, the Permittee shall execute
and cause to be recorded a conservation easement prohibiting those activities listed in
Condition A. above. The holder of this easement, and all terms and conditions of this
easement, shall be approved by the Corps prior to recordation. Before recording this
easement, the Permittee shall provide to the Corps written confirmation that the
approved third-party holder has accepted responsibility for holding the easement.
3) Within 30 days of the recordation of the easement, the Permittee shall provide
the Corps of Engineers a copy of the recorded easement. The Permittee shall take no
action inconsistent with the terms and purpose of the conservation easement on the
property described therein.
20. Culverts:
1) Unless otherwise requested in the application and depicted on the approved
permit plans, culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter shall be buried at least one
foot below the bed of the stream. Culverts 48 inches in diameter and less shall be
buried or placed on the stream bed as practicable and appropriate to maintain aquatic
passage, and every effort shall be made to maintain existing channel slope. The bottom
of the culvert shall be placed at a depth below the natural stream bottom to provide for
passage during drought or low flow conditions. Culverts shall be designed and
constructed in a manner that minimizes destabilization and head cutting.
2) Measures shall be included in the culvert construction/installation that will
promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. The dimension, pattern,
and profile of the stream above and below a culvert or pipe shall not be modified by
widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream in connection with
the construction activity. The width, height, and gradient of a proposed opening shall be
such as to pass the average historical low flow and spring flow without adversely
altering flow velocity. Spring flow should be determined from gauge data, if available. In
the absence of such data, bankfull flow can be used as a comparable level.
3) The Permittee shall implement all reasonable and practicable measures to
ensure that equipment, structures, fill pads, work, and operations associated with this
project do not adversely affect upstream and/or downstream reaches. Adverse effects
include, but are not limited to, channel instability, flooding, and/or stream bank erosion.
The Permittee shall routinely monitor for these effects, cease all work when detected,
take initial corrective measures to correct actively eroding areas, and notify this office
immediately. Permanent corrective measures may require additional authorization by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
4) Culverts placed within wetlands must be installed in a manner that does not
restrict the flows and circulation patterns of waters of the United States. Culverts placed
across wetland fills purely for the purposes of equalizing surface water shall not be
buried, but the culverts must be of adequate size and/or number to ensure unrestricted
transmission of water.
6

CE SAW RG (File Number, SAW- 2019-00233)

Martin Marietta Belgrade Quarry Mitigation Plan
SAW-2019-00233
2-2-2023
The Corps has requested that MMM mitigate for impacts to 8.96 acres of wetland at a 3:1 ratio,due to
the results found in NCWAM assessments. Though MMM does not agree with the 3:1 ratio assessment,
we are proposing to equitably meet this ratio through a combination of preservation and purchasing
credits from a bank as explained below.
MMM is proposing to preserve the—104 acre"Woods Property" by donating the property to The Barn
Group Land Trust Inc. This property contains 94.89 acres of very high-quality wetlands located just
downstream of the project site. MMM believes that due to the high-quality nature of these wetlands,
their location in relation to the property and the fact that the property could be timbered,make it a
better alternative for mitigation than purchasing all credits from a mitigation bank. A wetland
delineation map and timber assessment are attached to this plan.
At the requested 3:1 ratio,8.96 acres of impacts would require 26.88 credits. MMM is proposing to
preserve 94.89 acres of wetland. This preservation plan would be equal to 18.9 credits. As this does not
fulfil the number of credits required, MMM is proposing to purchase an additional 8.08 credits from
Bachelors Delight Mitigation Bank. This plan is to equal 26.98 credits(more than 3:1).
Furthermore, MMM is proposing to compensate for impacts to 106LF of stream associated with the
Overburden road crossing at a 2:1 ratio and impacts to 7931f of stream associated with the North Pit at a
1:1 ratio by purchasing 1,005 stream credits from Bachelors Delight Mitigation Bank. A mitigation
acceptance letter from the bank is attached to this plan.
