RE: Mining Permit No. 20-16
McNabb Cuarry
Cherokee County
Dear Blue Rock Marteials LLC'.
This letter is to advise you of recent amendments to the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 which impact the
permit term of your existing mining permit. Pursuant to the passage of House Bill 56, which became law on October 4,
2017 as SL 2017-209, all existing mining permits and any newly issued mining permits are to be issued for the life of site
or for the duration of the lease term, The "life of site" means the period from the initial receipt of a permit for the operation
until the mining operation terminates and the required reclamation is completed.
Considering the above, this letter hereby modifies your existing mining permit to remove all references to the prior
expiration date to convert your permit to a life of site or lease permit effective immediately. No action is required on your
part for this modification to be effective. Please attach this letter to your existing mining Permit for future reference. The
mine name and permit number on the permit document, and all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained
therein, shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS §74-51 and GS§74-52 still apply to all new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, SL 2017-209 also enacted a new annual mining
permit operating fee of$400 per mining permit number. By statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be
submitted to this office by December 31, 2017—see the attached Invoice to remit the initial annual fee payment by this
deadline. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by July 1 of each year with the required
Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS §74-55. Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a
$50/month late fee and could result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.
Laslly, pursuant to GS §74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from $500,000 to $1 million. Any
adjustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this office or addressed during your next requested permit action
unless you contact this office with a written request to have your bond reevaluated.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local zoning regulations. The
responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations remains with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions on the above, please contact Ms. Judy
Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, or me at(919) 707-9220.

Dear Mr. Dube:
The application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been found
to meet the requirements of G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971. As we have received the
required security to cover this application, I am enclosing the mining permit.
The conditions of Mining Permit No. 20-16 were based primarily upon information
supplied in the application with conditions added as necessary to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971, This permit expires on February 9, 2022. G.S. 74-65 states that the
issuance of a mining permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the
enforcement of any zoning regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or
county or by any agency or department of the State of North Carolina.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 13.0 acres and the amount of land
you are approved to disturb is 10.1 acres.
Please review the permit and contact Ms. Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining

mining permit and any approved revisions to it. Such areas include, but are not
limited to, expansion outside of the approved pit area, creek crossings, or
expansion of overburden or waste disposal areas.
5. Groundwater Protection
A. The McNabb Drinking Water Well and Spring locations denoted on the Surface
Water and Water Supply Wells Map, Figure 7, received by the Land Quality
Section on September 19, 2011 shall be monitored at least 30 days prior to
initiating any excavations of consolidated material (rock) in the initial pit area to
allow for the determination of pre-existing (static) groundwater levels.
B. The monitoring points (above referenced well and spring) shall be monitored
monthly at the same day and approximate time of day. For the well, depths shall
be measured from the top of the well casing. The spring depths shall be
measured from a consistent point above the water level in the spring storage
basin. The static water levels shall be measured with an accuracy of plus or
minus 0.1 foot and shall be referenced to a datum point and a record of the
water levels maintained. The quarterly precipitation and the volume of pit water
discharge shall also be recorded. Copies of these records shall be provided to
the Department on or about the end of each quarter. Static water level
monitoring frequency may be increased or decreased as deemed appropriate by
the Department.

6. Graded Slopes and Fills
A. The angle for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle which
can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion.control measure,
structure, or device. In any event, exposed slopes or any excavated channels,
the erosion of which may cause off-site damage because of sedimentation, shall
- be-planted-or-otherwise-provided-with groundcoverdevices-or-structures -
sufficient to restrain such erosion.
B. Overburden cut slopes along the perimeter of the quarry opening shall be graded
to a minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter and shall be stabilized within 60
days of completion. Furthermore, a minimum ten (10) foot wide horizontal safety
bench shall be provided at the top of the rock and at the toe of any overburden
slope.
7. Surface Drainage
The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of water that are,
or likely to become, noxious or foul. Necessary structures such as drainage ditches or
conduits shall be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions.
8. Blasting
In addition to the below conditions, the General Blasting Plan received by the Land
Quality Section on June 7, 2010 shall be followed.
The operator shall monitor each blast with a seismograph located at a distance
no farther than the closest off site regularly occupied structure not owned or
leased by the operator. A seismographic record including peak particle velocity, air
overpressure, and vibration frequency levels shall be kept for each blast (except as
provided under Operating Condition Nos. 8B and 8D of this permit). The following
blasting conditions shall be observed by the mine operator to prevent hazard to persons
and adjacent property from surface blasting:
A. Ground Vibration With Monitoring:
In all blasting operations, the maximum peak particle velocity of any component
of ground motion shall not exceed Figure 1 (below) at the immediate location of

6.0 Hz or lower-flat response 129 peak
D. Air blast Without Monitoring:
In the event of seismograph malfunction or other condition which prevents
monitoring, blasting shall be conducted in accordance with the following
formulas:
U = 82 (D/ Wo.aa)-1.2
To convert U (psi) to P (dBL):
P = 20 x log (U/2.9x10-9)
Confined Air blast/Overpressure (dBL)
for quarry situation:
A = P - 35
U = Unconfined air overpressure (pounds per square inch).
W = Maximum charge weight of explosives per delay period of 8.0 milliseconds
or more (pounds).
D = Distance from the blast site to the nearest inhabited building not owned or
leased by the mine operator (feet).
P = Unconfined air overpressure (decibels).
A = Air blast or air overpressure for typical quarry situations (decibels).

Page 8
The air blast/overpressure shall not exceed 129 decibels, for the purposes of this
Section.
E. ' Record Keeping:
The operator shall maintain records on each individual blast describing: the total
umberof-ho les;-patterrrof-holes-aa"elay-ofinte rvafs;zfeptFrarrd-size-of-hotel,
type and total pounds of explosives; maximum pounds per delay interval; amount
of stemming and burden for each hole; blast location; distance from blast to
closest offsite regularly occupied structure; and weather conditions at the time of
the blast. Records shall be maintained at the permittee's mine office and copies
shall be provided to the Department upon request.
F. Excessive Ground Vibration/Air blast Reporting;
If ground vibration or Air blast limits are exceeded, the operator will immediately
report the event with causes and corrective actions to the Department. Use of
explosives at the blast site that produced the excessive reading shall cease until
corrective actions approved by the'Department are taken. However, blasting
may occur in other approved areas within the permitted boundary. Authorization
to blast at the blast site may be granted at the time of the verbal reporting of the
high ground vibration or high air blast reading if the circumstances justify verbal
approval. Failure to report will constitute a permit violation.
G. Flyrock Prevention:
The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure that flyrock is not
thrown beyond areas where the access is temporarily or permanently guarded by
the operator. Failure to take corrective measures to prevent flyrock and
repeated instances of flyrock shall be considered a violation of the Mining Permit.
H. Flyrock Reporting
Should flyrock occur beyond the permitted and guarded areas, the operator shall
immediately report the incident to the Department. Further use of explosives on
the mine site shall be suspended until the following actions have been taken:
1. A thorough investigation as to the cause(s) of the incident shall be
conducted.
2. A report detailing the investigation shall be provided to the Department
within 10 days of the incident. The report shall, at a minimum, document
the cause(s) of the incident along with technical and management actions
that will be taken to prevent further incidents. The report shall meet with
the approval of the Department before blasting may resume at the mine
site.

maintained at all times along the perimeter of any highwall to prevent inadvertent public
access. In addition, a minimum 10 foot wide horizontal safety bench shall be provided
at the junction between the top of rock and the toe of any overburden cut slope.
10. Visual Screening
A. Existing vegetation shall be maintained between the mine and public
thoroughfares to screen the operation from the public. Additional screening
methods, such as constructing earthen berms, shall be employed as deemed
appropriate by the Department.
B. In addition to grasses, long leaf and/or Virginia pines or other acceptable
evergreen species shall be planted as deemed appropriate by the Department to
improve visual and noise buffering.
11. Plan Modification
The operator shall notify the Department in writing of the desire to delete, modify or
otherwise change any part of the mining, reclamation, or erosion/sediment control plan
contained in the approved application for a mining permit and any approved revisions to
it. Approval to implement such changes must be obtained from the Department prior to

RE: Permit No. 20-16
McNabb Quarry
Cherokee County
Little Tennessee River Basin
Dear Mr. Dube:
Your mining permit has been departmentally modified. The departmental modification is a
result of potential impacts your company's operation may have on the federally listed
endangered Indiana bat. The modification to the OPERATING CONDITIONS is as follows:
16. All tree removal from within the mining permit boundary shall be conducted
between October 15 and April 15 to minimize potential impacts to the federally listed
species.
If trees need to be removed outside of this time frame, surveys for the Indiana bat must be
conducted in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the "Indiana Bat Recovery Plan" to
determine the species' presence/absence. The plan can be found at:
http://www,fws.gov/midwest/Endangered/mammals/inba/pdf/inba_fnidrftrecpin_TrO7.pdf
Please attach this letter to your existing mininq permit for future reference. The
expiration date, mine name and permit number on the permit document shall remain the same
as before this modification.

Subject: Re: USFWS comments
Judy,
Thank you for your call today to discuss the proposed requirement to implement an additional control measure
under our current mine permit. This control measure is a direct result of guidance provided by the USFWS out
of concern for the Indiana Bat. We will conduct the limited required tree removal between October 15 and
April 15 or as recommended by the USFWS if tree removal is required outside of that period. Specifically, we
will conduct the necessary survey required for compliance and submit a copy for approval to both agencies.
Tree removal would only be required to adhere to safety requirements governed by MSHA officials during
routine mine inspections. We have planned installing the erosion control measures and the current tree removal
during the month of March.
Thank you again,

Dear Ms. Harris:
Subject: Mining Permit for Blue Rock Materials LLC, McNabb Quarry, Cherokee County,
North Carolina
On February 16, 2012, we received a copy of the subject mining permit with your. letter dated
February.9, 2012. We commented on the application for this permit in a letter to you dated May
3, 2010. The following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act; Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C.
661-667e); Migratory Bird Treaty Act(16 U.S.C. 703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
We are concerned with this permit because it fails to address the concerns we raised in our
previous letter about the potential impacts to federally listed threatened and endangered species.
In our previous letter we stated that the endangered Indiana bat is considered a summer
resident in Cherokee County. To minimize-the potential of directly iinpactingthe Indiana bat,-ally
ctree:removal=in--the miniparea should-take place between October-1-5-and Apri1-1-5-IJ If tre s
_need.to.bc.removed,outside:of this:time=frame,-suryeys-for the-Indianaa-bat--should=be:conducted►
il�?._accordance:with the:guidelines:set:forth=in the-species=recovery-plan to-determinethe-species�
presence/absence:""The permit gives no indication that a survey for the Indiana bat was
conducted and, if not, that any restrictions on when trees can be removed have been considered
in the conditions for the permit.
To avoid potentially violating the Endangered Species Act, we request the permit be amended to
prevent the cutting of trees between April 15 and October 15. Please contact us soon as possible
to inform us whether this change can be made - we hope this modification can be made without
the need for us to file a petition through the Office of Administrative Hearings.

Re, McNabb Quarry (Draft Permit)
Cherokee County
Fiwassee River Basin
Dear Mr. Dube:
Your application for a mining permit for the above referenced mine site has been
reviewed but not yet approved. Enclosed Is a draft of the mining permit proposed by the
Department. The conditions in the draft permit were based primarily upon information
supplied in your application. Other necessary conditions may have been added to ensure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971.
The reclamation bond has been calculated for this site using the information submitted
in the additional information submitted for the site (see enclosed worksheet). The bond
amount for this site is $44,100.00. The bond is required before the permit can be issued. For
your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings account form and
an irrevocable standby letter of credit form. The name on the security form must be the same
as the name appearing on the enclosed draft permit, i.e., Blue Rock Materials LLC. In
addition to one of these alternatives you may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please review the enclosed draft permit and the reclamation bond worksheet, and
contact this office should you have any objections or questions concerning the permit
conditions. G.S. 74-51 provides that the operator has sixty (60) days following the mailing of a
notice cf-fhe required on inw Ic o t ethe requne sure y.
The permit cannot be issued until the required security has been received. No mining
may be conducted until the permit is issued. G.S. 74-65 states that the issuance of a mining
permit does not supersede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning
regulation or ordinance duly adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any agency or
department of the State of North Carolina.

Moll wants the following information to further process the permit application:
1. Further define the diversion ditch that drains to the basin below the stockpile area.
2. Include in the mine legend the property line buffer symbol and stream/waterway buffer symbol.
3. If the crusher is to be a permanent structure, provide a more substantial sediment and erosion control measure
than silt fence.
The bond has been calculated to be $44,100.00 and will have to he submitted prior to permit issuance. There
are three methods to post the bond: assignment of savings account from a bank(money Is put into an account
with a "lien" on it), irrevocable standby letter of credit from a bank or a surety bond from an insurance
company. Choose one of those methods. I am attaching the forms.
Mall is ready to issue the permit if we received the revised maps and requested information. Two copies,

Judy,
In reference to our most recent conversation. I recommend that water levels in the subject
well and spring be measured monthly. Depths below a measuring point should be recorded. For
the well, that means depths below the top of the well casing and for the spring, depths
should be measured from a consistent point above the water level in the spring storage basin.

Greetings from Asheville,
A representative from Blue Rock Quarry has asked a question below regarding the selling of rock material (please see
paragraph #2 below) and I wanted to get guidance from Land Quality before answering back. In essence, are they
allowed to operate the mine in any capacity prior to securing all required permits from DENR (in this case they would
not have their air permit yet-as they have not applied)? I know this may be a simple question but I just want to make
sure.
Thanks,
-Alison
ps. Paul, I assume (and correct me if I am wrong here) that distributing material would not be an issue with the not
having an air permit as long as they are not crushing.

A question that we need to ask is, after the water and mining permits have been approved, can Blue Rock

Yes, this is exactly what they mean. I wasjust saying that at this point (of having their mining and NPDES permit), they
will still not have "all" required DENR permits (i.e., the air permit), but wasn't sure if you guys cared about this or not.
Sounds like you don't and that is all I needed to know.Thanks a bunch and hope you are enjoying the big city.

Judy—I received the letter you sent tome, and I called the company to ask about the details. In response to my call,
the company sent me a fax that I scanned and have attached to this e-mail for your review. The fax shows that their
request for an extension relates to land quality, not DAO, so you have the wonderful job of responding to them, Also,
since Blue Rock needs a permit from both DLR and DAq, how about asking the "one stop permitting' person in the ARO
(Allison Davidson) to check in with them and see if they would appreciate her assistance? We are fine with that, but I
wanted to make sure it's OK with you as well. Just let me know. Thanks.

Dear Ms. Dube:
This letter is in response to your letter dated July 14, 2011, in which you asked for an
extension to respond to the request for additional information dated October 14, 2010.
An extension is not necessary because your consultant, Mr. Roger D. Moore of Alpha
Environmental Sciences, Inc., submitted a response to the requested information on June 13,
2011. Upon review of the information, further clarification is needed for the hydrogeological
study. Another letter was sent to you on July 15, 2011 requesting the clarification. Your
consultant was also copied. I am enclosing another copy for your use.
Please note that the meteorlogic model referred to in your July 14 letter was never

Sheila—We have not yet received a permit application for the Blue Rock Quarry. Harold completed a permit
applicability determination in October 2010, and we notified them that they have to obtain a permit. I have attached
the letter and review from that determination. Harold has been talking with the facility's consultant, and they are
working on PM modeling to submit with the app. Harold is expecting the app in the near future, but they have taken
their time to complete this since we told them they needed a permit last October. Please call if you want to discuss this
further. Thanks.

Murphy, Cherokee County,North Carolina
Dear Ms. Dube:
The Division of Air Quality received your application on June 10, 2010 requesting that this Office
determine whether an Air Quality Permit is necessary for the quarry operation. The application
was reviewed and this Office determined that the processes, and therefore the facility, cannot be
exempted.
The Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section, has determined that the facility requires a
mining permit. A primary consideration in the applicability determination for this facility is how
the individual equilmiew exemptions impact permitting requirements for the facility. By limiting
the mobility of the equipment to within the property for an indefinite period of time, the site(and
therefore the facility) requires permitting because the equipment has become a slationary source
within the property boundary with potential emissions of criteria pollutants greater than 5 tons
each.
Thus, you AR17" required to apply for an Air Quality Permit for this facility prior to construction.
In order to process your application, the application should include the $50 application fee
(payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources); forms Al, A2,
A3, A4, B (for each source), 132, B9, D1, and D6; Zoning Consistency Determination from the
local governing authority with zoning jurisdiction; and a DAQ approved nheteorlogic model
indicating compliance with particulate emissions as specified in 15A NCAC 2D. 0403 and 15A
NCAC 2D.0409 2D. Note that along with the zoning consistency, public notification procedures
may be required. Please also submit an additional copy of the entire application. Upon receipt of
these items, we will begin processing your application.

Please be advised that the operation of any air pollution emission sources which results in
emissions in excess of the threshold levels without an Air Quality Permit is a violation of 15A
NCAC 2Q.0101, "Required Air Quality Permits." Such violations maybe subject to enforcement
action, including a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation and/or injunctive relief, pursuant to
NCGS 143-215.114A.

Applicability: Recommendations and Comments:
SIP Air Permit Required
1. '['his facility was observed on April 20, 2010 operating as Murphy Environmental and Land Management,
LLG McNabb Quarry. During the site visit, it was stated that the current plans for the facility were to
reclaim the site by harvesting loose rock and crushing the harvested stone and there were no immediate
plans to blast for the materials (see 04/27/2010 site visitlinspection report). The equipment included a self-
propelled crushing unit and a self-propelled screening unit, both with conveyors, along with a loader.
On April 29,2010,this office received a fax from Blue Rock Materials, LLC. The letter provided a basic
description of the equipment on site and stated that future plans included blasting.
On May 17,2010,the facility was issued a Notice of Violation by the Division of Land Resources, Land
Quality Section, for mining without a permit. According to Ms. Shawna Riddle of the Land Quality
Section, the facility is currently in the process of making the application for a mining permit;however as of
this date, it is incomplete. The quarry is not currently in operation.
The facility has the following processes to operate at the site:

site. (Note that the letter is dated April 6,2010,a date preceding the site visit.)
August 4,2010: USEPA notified this office that the subject equipment is NOT subject to NSPS
Subpart 000,
September 29, 2010: Mr. Stephen Dube,the facility's owner, provided the capacity and configuration of
the equipment but not the manufacture dates.
3. Regulatory Review:
The following EMC Regulations are considered for this determination:
15A NCAC 2D .0403,"Total Suspended Particulates";
15A NCAC 2D .0409,"PM,()Particulate Matter";
15A NCAC 2D .0501,"Compliance with Emission Control Standards"
15A NCAC 2D .0510,"Particulates: Sand, Gravel, Crushed Stone Operations";
15A NCAC 2D .0516,"Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources";
15A NCAC 2D .0521, "Control of Visible Emissions";
15A NCAC 2D .0524, "New Source Performance Standards";
15A NCAC 2D .0540, "Particulates from Fugitive Nan-Process Dust Emissions Sources';
15A NCAC 2Q .0102,"Activities Exempted from Permit Requirements"; and
15A NCAC 2Q .0902,"Permit Exemptions- Portable Crushers".
4. Compliance Determination (by source categories):
a. Rock crushing operations (ID Nos. ES-Crush, ES-Screen,and ES-Canvey)
The current operation consists of two self-propelled units, each powered by diesel engines. The
crushing unit is rated at 200 tons per hour with two conveyors; one of which is for product and the
other is for soil/waste, The screening unit has a capacity of 150 tons per hour with three screens and
three conveyors. Mr. Dube stated that future operations may require additional equipment.
2D.0403—'total Suspended Particulates and 2D.0409- PMIo Particulate Matter
These regulations set the ambient air quality standards for particulates. For PM io,the limit is 150
micrograms per cubic meter(µghii ), 24-hour average concentration, and is not exceeded more than
once per year on average over a three year period. For TSP,the limit is 150 µglen', 24-hour average,
and 75 µghn3 annual geometric mean. To demonstrate compliance with these regulations, modeling is
required with approval of the modeling from the Air Quality Analysis Branch in the Raleigh Central
Office.
2D .0501 -Compliance with Emission Control Standards
To demonstrate compliance with this regulation, facilities are required to maintain an equipment list,a
plant(or flow)diagram of all equipment, the total rated crushing capacity of all primary crushers,
applicability of New Source Performance Standards, width of belt conveyors, dimensions and
configuration (e.g., triple deck )of screens, rated capacity(tons or tons/hr)of all equipment,a unique
ID number, the date the equipment was manufactured, and the dates any required performance testing
was conducted and submitted to the Regional Supervisor, Division of Air Quality. The equipment list
and plant diagram shall bear the date when the current list and diagrams were revised. The facility is
also required to provide documentation to DAQ for any required performance testing within seven
days of a written request. Compliance with this regulation would be expected.
2D .0510- Particulates: Sand, Gravel, Crushed Stone Operations
Regulation 2D .0510 requires that particulate emissions be minimized and that water spray shall be
used on crushing operations. Compliance with this regulation is required for all crushing activities,
regardless of permitting status.

Blue Rock Materials'c •
Permit Applicability Determination
Page 3 of 5
2D .0521 -Control of Visible Emissions
In order to comply with 2D .0521,the visible emissions from the facility shall not be more than 20
percent opacity for sources manufactured after 1971; and shall not be more than 40 percent opacity for
sources manufactured before 1971. "Phis equipment was manufactured after 1971and therefore the
20%opacity limits apply. Water spray, which is required by 2D .0510 (above), is effective in
controlling visible emissions from crushing operations. Compliance with this regulation is required,
regardless of permitting status.
21) .0524-New Source Performance Standards
Crushing equipment manufactured after August 31, 1983 is subject to NSPS, Subpart 000; however,
according to the 08/04/2010 email from Mr. Scott Throwe of the USEPA(DC)to Mr. Bill Neufler of
the USEPA(RTP), "these types of self propelled vehicles are mobile sources . . . and are not subject to
NSPS"(see attached email series). The equipment on site is therefore not subject to NSPS, Subpart
000; however, if other stationary equipment is installed as indicated in the letter from the facility,that
equipment would likely be subject to Subpart 000.
21) .0540 - Particulates from Fugitive Non-process Dust Emission Sources
This regulation addresses all facilities with activities such as: unloading and loading areas, process
areas, stockpiles,stock pile working, plant parking lots, and plant roads(including access roads and
haul roads). The regulation requires a fugitive process dust plan and abatement measures if substantive
complaints are verified. Compliance with this regulation is required from all crushing activities,
regardless of permitting status.
20 .0102 -Activities Exempted from Permit Requirements
"]'his regulation provides permit exemptions for individual equipment. Paragraph exempts
"motor vehicles,aircraft, marine vessels, locomotives, tractors or other self-propelled vehicles with
internal combustion engines". The Division of Air Quality has determined that this type of equipment
while operating stationary in a quarry is not exempt per this rule.
20 .0902 - Portable Crushers (Permit Exemptions)
This regulation provides an exemption from permitting for crushing operations if certain conditions are
met. Exempt portable crushers shall: not crush more than 300,000 tons during any 12 months; burn no
more than 17,000 gallons of diesel fuel during any 12 months; not operate at any one facility or site
more than 12 months; not operate at a quarry that has an air permit;and, continuously use water spray
to control emissions. Based on information provided by the facility,the crushing operations are NOT
exempt Isom permitting using this exemption because it appears that the crusher is to operate longer
than 12 months at this site and is required to obtain a Mining Pert-nit from the NC Division of Land
Resources.
b. Two diesel-fired internal combustion engines(566 horsepower, combined)
The crushing unit is powered by a diesel fired internal combustion engine rated at 480 horsepower.
The screening unit is also powered with a diesel-fired internal combustion engine, but is rated at 86
horsepower.
21) .0516- Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources
This regulation limits S02 emissions from combustion sources to 2.3 pounds per million Btu of heat
input. The AP-42,Table 1.3-1,emission factor for S02 emissions from No. 2 fuel oil(considered an
equivalent of diesel fuel) combustion is 142(S)per 1000 gallons, where S=sulfur content. AP-42 uses
a heat content for No. 2 fuel oil of 140,000 Btu per gallon(ref. AP-42, Section 1.3.4.3). For these
calculations, a sulfur content of 0.5% is used for No.2 fuel oil. S02 emissions frorn No. 2 fuel oil
combustion are calculated as:
1142 (0.5) Ib/1000 gal.)]1(140,000 Btu/gal) * 1,000,000 Btu/million Btu =0.51 lb/million Btu

Blue Rock Material#, C
Permit Applicability Determination
Page 4 of 5
Compliance with 2D .0516 is indicated for diesel-fired internal combustion engines.
21) .0521 -Control of Visible Emissions
In order to comply with 2D .0521, the visible emissions from the facility shall not be more than 20
percent opacity for sources manufactured after 1971;and shall not be more than 40 percent opacity for
sources manufactured before 1971. This equipment was manufactured after 1971 and therefore the
20%opacity limits apply. 'Typically, we diesel engines comply with this regulation.
Compliance with this regulation would be expected.
21) .1 1 11_-Maximum Achievable Control Technology
As discussed above, the US EPA has determined that these pieces of equipment are mobile sources and
are not subject to RICE GACT(40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZ) as well as NSPS (40 CFR 60, Subpart
000).
5. NSPS, NESHAPS, PSD,Toxics and 1 12(r)and Attainment Status:
The facility is not subject to the requirements of NESHAPIMACT, PSD,Toxics or 1 12(r). The crushing,
screening and conveying equipment are considered mobile sources by the EPA, and therefore are not
subject to the NSPS Subpart 000 nor the RICE:GACT,
6. Facility Compliance Status:
']'his is a new facility and has no compliance history. The facility would be placed on an annual inspection
schedule to verify compliance with the permit.
7. Facility Emissions Review:
Based on the information below, this facility should be classified as a Small facility.

8. Conclusions,Comments, and Recommendations:
The Division of Land Resources, land Quality Section, has determined that the facility requires a mining
permit. A primary consideration in the applicability determination for this facility is how the individual
equipment exemptions impact permitting requirements for the facility. As noted above, the EPA considers
this equipment to be mobile sources and not subject to NSPS; however,this equipment is to operate on a
single contiguous property without leaving that property. By limiting the mobility of the equipment to
within the property for an indefinite period of time,the site(and therefore the facility)requires permitting
because the equipment has become a staf oncoy soru•ce within the property boundary with potential
CmiSSiOJIS of I'M 10, SOz,NOx, CO and VOC greater than 5 tons each.
The facility will be notified of the requirement to apply for an air quality permit. The application should
include the$50 application fee; forms A1, A2, A3, A4, B (for each source), B2, B9, D1,and D6; Zoning
Consistency Determination from Cherokee County;and a DAQ approved meteorlogic model indicating
compliance with particulate emissions.

Mr. Simons:
I am writing this letter to request an extension of time in response to the letter requesting information
that was received from your office dated October 14, 2030.
I have been diligently gathering information in regards to your request. The issue that has come up at
this point is the information in regards to the meteorlogic model. In the county that the quarry is
located there seems to be no information to prepare (or very little information)the proper paperwork.
I am requesting an extension of time for another 180 days from the October 14, 2010 letter received for
the gathering of the information to properly prepare the forms. Blue Rock Materials has hired an
outside firm to work on the meteorlogic model, they are working as quickly as they can and are in hopes
of submitting all information in approximately two weeks.
I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.

Judy,
I've reviewed the report submitted by Alpha Environmental Sciences for Blue Rock Materials, LLC dated May 31,
2011. 1 offer the following comments:
The hydrogeologic descriptions are pretty well stated and I agree that the proposed mining is unlikely to impact the
wells and springs as described in the report.
There are references to features in the report that are not identified on the included maps. This is especially We of
the well and spring locations and the hydrography, for example Hickey Branch.
A more thorough report would have included construction information about the wells and a better map which gives
the positions of the water sources (wells and springs)compared to the mine.
I recommend that the report he updated with a map which locates the various items described in the report relative
to the mine location. Also, the report monitoring plan should specify exactly which wells and springs need to be
monitored (that information should also be part of the map).

Information submitted is sufficient. They did recommend monitoring to check water levels before drilling and blasting is
performed for the wells located within 1500 feet of the mine (and then checked annually within the first 2 years). Can
we put that in the permit?

Ground Vibrations and Airblast Readings
Quote from American Blasting Company:
"In response to concerns about ground vibration from the Division of land Resources, the blasting plan
for this site using only 134 lbs. per delay will protect any structures within a 600 ft. radius (distance of
closest structure) of the quarry.This is using the MSHA approved vibration methods and the use of an
independent vibration company i.e.VCE, Inc. is recommended to record all blasts to insure compliance.
Estimated air blast readings should be in the 115-120 dbs range"
Additional Information:
Improvements in the blasting industry over the last few years have provided significant advances in
vibration control and air blast over pressure.
Blast Hale Changes-
1. Use of Electronic Delays for each blast
2. Improving blast hole depth,size and packing
3. After Blast hole analysis
Monitoring Changes-
1. Electronic monitoring of blasts—both downhole and air blast overpressure
2. Computer modeling of seismograph readings and air blast readings
3. Monitoring the vibrations at the mine boundary and the nearest habitable residence.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed Blue Rock Materials quarry site is located on the south side of mountain
northwest of Murphy in Cherokee County, North Carolina. The current mining plan calls
for removing additional rock to a greater depth from the existing working elevation. The
current bench area is 70 to 80 feet in elevation above the creek elevation. All of the
properties surrounding the quarry site obtain potable water from drinking water wells or
springs. Neighboring property owners have expressed concern that quarry operations
could affect water supplied by wells or springs. This report has been prepared to address
those concerns and to provide a plan for responding to an impact in the unlikely event
that it occurs. Several private drinking water wells are located within 2000 feet of the
quarry working area.
The surface water drainage in the area consists of dendrite streams draining uplands and
larger stream flows controlled by the topography or the geologic structure. The rock
exposed in the quarry appears to be dark grey meta-siltstone, metagreywacke, meta-
sandstone and mica schist of the Ocoee Super Group. These rocks tend to be massive
with minor foliations and some intermediate vertical fracturing. Small zones of
groundwater seepage appear on the existing wall of the quarry. Soil and saprolite
covering bedrock appears very shallow in this area. Based on experience with other
portions of the county, drilling residential wells can be problematic due to the low number
of water bearing fractures and their relatively small size.
Well construction records for this area of the county were reviewed and confirmed a
shallow depth to hard rock and low groundwater yields from fractures. Most springs are
producing water from the close proximity of fractured rock to the surface. There are
bedrock wells on the existing McNabb property as well as a spring supplying potable
water. Surrounding residences also utilize drilled wells for water supply. Groundwater
enters the fractures upslope from the wells and is supplied from storage in the overlying
soillsaprolite during rainfall events. The current mining plan does not call for dewatering of
the quarry and only directs surface water to the lowest area of the quarry as a settling
pond for fine material in the runoff.
The proposed mining plan is unlikely to change the hydrogeology of the surrounding
properties. The source of water to the wells/springs in the area is from the soillsaprolite
and from bedrock fractures upslope from the wells. It is unlikely that the proposed
quarrying activities will have any adverse impact to the sources of water to the
surrounding wells.

A. INTRODUCTION
Blue Rock Materials, LLC of Murphy, NC has applied for a mining permit from the NC
Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Land Quality Section (NC DENR-LQS).
The permit has been requested to blast and crush stone for aggregates. The quarry was
previously operated in the 1970's and 1980's under the name McNabb Quarry. In response
to the application, one of the items of information requested was a "hydrogeological
analysis for any impacts to nearby wells..." Several surrounding property owners had raised
this concern because public water is not available to the properties surrounding the
proposed quarry area.
The residents in the area get their water from potable water wells or springs. The intent of
this report is to address the concerns raised by surrounding property owners. The report
was requested by Mr. Stephen Dube of Blue Rock Materials, LLC.
B. QUARRY LOCATION
Quarry Geography
The existing quarry is located on the southwest side of an unnamed hill in west central
Cherokee County, N.C. This portion of the county contains numerous residential properties with
commercial areas near the larger intersections and old crossroads. NC 294 runs SE to NW
beside the site and the gravel entrance road to the site turns northwest off the highway. The
site has been a gravel quarry in the past, principally in the 1970's and early 1980's. The high
wall of the quarry extends 100 to 120 feet above the working grade to the south. The estimated
elevation of the top of the ridge at the back of the quarry is approximately 1825 feet. The
current elevation of the quarry floor is approximately 1690 to 1700 feet. Future plans call for
taking the quarry to an elevation of 1620 to 1630 feet. The general orientation of the rock units
in this area is from southwest to northeast. Stream flow patterns in the area appear to be more
topographically controlled rather than geologically controlled.
Regional Geology
The quarry site is located on the west side of the Blue Ridge Geologic Belt. The rock types in
this portion of the Blue Ridge tend to be meta-sedimentary rocks varying from meta-sandstone
and meta-siltstone to marble and mica schist. The rocks in this region structurally wrap around
the tightly folded Murphy Marble Belt. The rock in the quarry is generally dark grey meta-
siltstone and meta-sandstone. Some layered slates and mica schist occur on the east side near
the entrance'to the quarry. There are vertical joint sets and horizontal fractures in most of the
exposed face. These appear to be mainly pressure relief fractures and'do'not appear to extend
great distances as continuous fractures. There are varying locations on the surface of the high
wall that show groundwater seepage and staining indicating that the fractures are carrying
groundwater. Also there were locations where groundwater was seeping out of the interface
between the saprolite and the bedrock.

i
Site Hydrology and Hydrogeology
The valleys on the north and south sides of the quarry site contain small streams fed both by
surface water runoff and seepage from groundwater. Surface water runoff on the south and
east side of the site, drains into Hickey Branch below the quarry. Surface water runoff from the
north side of the hill drains to Persimmon creek and runs into the upper reaches of Hiwassee
Lake. (Cherokee Lake)
Fractured rock aquifers are complex systems of interconnected fractures with two to three
components. The top consists of soil and saprolite that receives water during rainfall events.
The water then moves downward into a zone that contains a mixture of rock and finer grained
materials. This zone often allows water to move rapidly laterally and down slope. Fractures in
the bedrock then receive water from this zone as it moves downward. The fractures then act as
conduits carrying the water into the fractured rock. Water levels in fractured bedrock can vary
significantly depending on the size and orientation of the fractures penetrated by a particular
boring/well. Most recently installed wells are constructed in the deeper bedrock fractures and
draw water from them rather than water near the ground surface. The amount of water available
from a given well is dependent on the number of fractures, the size of the fractures and
interconnectedness of the fractures in the borehole or well. It is a generally known fact, that the
fractures quantity, orientation and size decrease with increasing depth. In closely spaced wells
in rock, water levels may vary significantly due to the size and orientation of the fractures
encountered.
Most wells installed in the vicinity of the site, are cased through any soil/saprolite and installed
into bedrock as an open hole. It is expected that most wells in the surrounding area are
constructed in this manner.
Springs occur in this geology in two different ways. Where the soils and saprolite are relatively
deep, overlying relatively impermeable bedrock, the groundwater can exit at topographic lows
or at locations where bedrock outcrops at the surface. Springs also can discharge at locations
where the piezometric surface (watertable) is higher than the surrounding land surface. This
often occurs where major changes in grade occur on a more gradual slope.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES
The proposed mining plan for the quarry is to remove additional rock in the area previously
mined. This area will continue to be mined without dewatering. There will be no changes to the
groundwater flow in this area. Influxes of rainwater will continue to infiltrate into the subsurface.
The current mining plan involves lateral rock removal for safety however blasting and removal
will focus on the existing bench and removing/crushing material down to elevation 1630+/-. A
small finger of rock between the entrance and the working bench will be removed for better
access at the mining area. The closest well will be the McNabb well located approximately 800
feet from the,mine area. The source of water to this well is the soil/saprolite to the west of the
house and the fractures in bedrock that surround the well. These areas will be unaffected by the
quarry operations. No impact is expected in this' area and no changes are expected to
groundwater flow to the well. The Chad and April-McNabb water source is a spring located
about 1000 feet east of the mine area. This spring is fed by surface water/groundwater from the
field area to the west of the spring and discharges to Hickey Branch. The current mining plan
does not disturb or alter the source area of the spring. No impact to this spring is expected from
quarry activities.
Other wells/springs are located at distances from 1200 feet to '/z mile from the proposed quarry
area. The source areas in the near surface or deeper fractures are not going to be disturbed by

the current mining plan. There is no expected impact to the wells located this far from the mine
active area.
MONITORING PLAN
For wells located within 1 500 feet of the active mine area, we recommend a round of monitoring
to check water levels in the wells before any drilling and blasting is performed. Then a follow-up
round should be performed to verify that no changes have occurred. The wells should be
checked at least annually during the first two years to confirm that no impact has occurred. If
significant impact is documented, a plan should be established to confirm the impact and
replace the well as necessary.
CONCLUSIONS
Due to the limited scale and type of mining activity anticipated at this location with no
dewatering performed and the distances between the active quarry area and the surrounding
wells/springs, we do not expect any impact to water levels, water duality or availability of
groundwater as the drinking water source. Future modifications to the mining plan and mining
permit may warrant re-evaluation of these conclusions.

Re: McNabb Quarry

Mr. Simons:
I am writing this letter to request an extension of time in response to the letter requesting information
that was received from your office dated October 14,2010.
1 have been diligently gathering information in regards to your request. The, issue that has come up at
this point is the information in regards to the meteorlogic model. In the county that the quarry is
located there seems to be no information to prepare (or very little information) the proper paperwork.
I am requesting ar extension of time for another 180 days from the October 14, 2010 letter received for
the gathering of the information to properly prepare the forms. I am in hopes that it will not take any
where near this amount of time to provide all of the necessary information to your office, but I have
been told that it will take several weeks to gather the data for the meteorlogic model.
I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely, 1

Dear Ms. Dube:
We have reviewed the application and additional information your company submitted
for the referenced mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue
processing your application:
1. Provide proof, such as copies of the return receipts from certified mail, that Gail
Walker Stansell and Chadwick and April McNabb have been properly notified.
2. Letter received by this office list blasting as a concern for permitting the site.
Provide projected ground vibrations and airblast readings for the closest non-
owned offsite regularly occupied dwelling during a typical blasting operation at
this site.
3. The safety of potable wells and water supplies is another concern from nearby
landowners. Provide a hydrogeological analysis for any impacts to nearby wells,
including monitoring plans or provide details on how your company will replace
any wells that are impacted by the operation.
4. Provide proof that your company has applied for the required storm water permit
from the Division of Water Quality.

are asking to permit 11.56 acres for a crushed stone quarry which includes roads to the

Dear Mr. Hasenstaub:
Thank you for your letter dated August 2, 2010 expressing your concerns regarding_ the
proposed McNabb Quarry in Cherokee County.
Your concerns certainly deserve evaluation. Before a decision is made to grant or deny the
mining permit, concerns within the jurisdiction of NCGS 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971 must be
addressed. During the application review, site inspections will be made and comments will be solicited
from other agencies regarding the potential impacts to wildlife, air and water quality and groundwater.
Please note, however, that zoning concerns, such as truck traffic, noise and property values,
are not within the jurisdiction of The Mining Act and are more appropriately addressed through the local
government. The Mining Act of 1971 may be downloaded by going to
http://www.dlr.enr.statestate.nc.uslpages/min ingprogram.htlnl/miningprogram.html,
Because limited response during the comment period and limited resources of our staff, the
Director of the Division of Land Resources has decided not to hold a public hearing for the proposed
operation.
Again, thank you for your letter. Your comments will be incorporated into our review, If you
have any additional questions, please contact me at [phone].

Attention Judy Wehner:
This letter is in response to the certified letter dated 07/26/2010 that was sent to me by Alpha Environmental
Sciences, Inc for the application of a mining permit by Blue Rock Materials, Lic. This land has been leased to Blue Rock from Larry
and Glenda McNabb.
I have great concern about a mining co. blasting in this area as my property at 148 Three Johns Rd, Smokey Hollow Estates, Murphy,
N.C. abutts the leased land for mining of that property.
1. the risk of contamination of my well or the loss of water from my well altogether.
2. the noise and pollution of mining would be detrimental to the homes, especially mine, in the area.
3. the loss of value of my home as no one will buy my home being next to a mining pit.
4. the tremors to my home, causing destruction, cracked walls, fondation shift etc.
5. the loss of nature, animals, and the clean enviroment that a forest brings to our natural health
6. the very poor map that they sent shows additional roads to be constructed on their leased land, more forest destruction!
They have already come in with bulldozers tearing down the trees leaving the area in an up-heaval state with all their garbage left
behind. I know because they came right up against my property with those bulldozers.
It is not fair to the folks who bought and built homes in this area for the peace and tranquillity of the mountains to now have a rock
mining company come in and destroy it all.
Another point is that there is already another rock mining co. off hwy 64 which is about 8 to 10 miles away. Why do we need another
mining co. in this area of private homes?
Thank you for your consideration in this matter,
William Hasenstaub

Dear]udy Wehner,
This letter is in response to the certified letter dated 07/26/2010 that was sent me by
Alpha Environmental Sciences, Inc. for the application of Mining Permit by Blue
Rock Materials, LLC This land has been leased to Blue Rock from Larry and Glenda
McNabb.
I have GREAT concern about a Mining Company blasting in this area as my
property and home located at 358 Misty River Circle, Stookey Hollow Estates,
Murphy, NC 28906 Abutts the leased land for mining.
My Concerns are as following:
1. The risk of Contamination of my well or loss of water altogether.
2. The noise and pollution caused by mining and blasting would be
detrimental to the homes, especially mine in the area.
3. The loss of Value of my home as no one will buy a home next to a mining
pit.
4. The Tremors caused by constant blasting will start cracking the
foundation of my 4000 sq.ft home, foundation may shift.
5. The loss of Quite Nature, animals such as fox, rabbits, wild turkey and
deer all which we Enjoy from our home over the last 5 yrs.
6. Our roads are paved, and the blasting will disturb the underlayment and
will crack the surface.
7. The map which was sent to me is not'ivery clew and from what I can tell, it
shows many additional roads, which in turn, means mom forest
destruction. i
They already have come in with bulldozers tearing down the pees and leaving the
area in an upheaval state with all piles of trees and limbs that they did not want.
This is extremely unfair to all the people who bought homes or had them built to live
in a quite and peaceful mountain and forest environment to get away from the busy
City lifestyle.
There is already another Rock Mining Companyioff HWY 64 which is about 8 to 30
miles away. Why do we need another mining Company in the area of Private
Homes?
Thank you for your consideration in this Matter.

The rational formula la is:
SEP .1 0 snfr.
Q = CIA
where:
Q = peak rate of nmoff 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 mches!horu, for a storm duration equal
to the tine of concentration. T.
A= drainage area in acres
The general procedure for determining peak discharge rising the rational
formula is presented below mid illustrated in Sample Problem 9.03a.
Step 1. Determine the drainage area in acres.
Total Drainage Area 11.1
Step 1. Determine the nmoff coef cirnt. C. for the rypc of sofVcover in die
drainage area (fable 3.03b).

value can be detem fined directly from Table 8_03b. If there are multiple soil
cover conditions, a %veighted wverage must be calculated, or the area may be
subdivided.

Dear Ms. Dube:
We have reviewed the application and additional information your company submitted
for the referenced mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue
processing your application-
1 As previously requested, provide a map that shows the first adjoining landowners
(not leasing property to Blue Rack Minerals) within 1000 feet of the proposed
permit boundary to verify they have been properly notified.
2. As previously requested, revise the supporting calculations for the measures to
pass a 25 year 24 hour storm event. The 25 year 24 hour storm event numbers
are too low.
Please.be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items listed
above have been fully addressed. In addition, please note the Land Quality Section may
request additional information, not included in this letter, as the mining application review
progresses.
Please be aware that we have received letters from adjoining landowners regarding the
issuance of this pending permit. A public hearing may be required.
In order to complete the processing of your application, please forward two (2) copies of
the requested information to my attention at the following address:

The 25 year numbers are wrong again. He used a Q of 2 for 25 year. He also used 0.25 intensity for 25 year. Please have
them send the calculations again.

Dear Ms. Dube:
We have reviewed the application and additional information your company submitted
for the referenced mine site. However, the following information is needed to continue
processing your application:
1. Provide a map that shows the first adjoining landowners (not leasing property to
Blue Rock Minerals) within 1000 feet of the proposed permit boundary to verify
they have been properly notified.
2. As previously requested, please revise the Mine Buffers and Boundaries Map
iFigure 3) to include the erosion and sediment control measures from Drawing
No. 1. Include diversions to direct the run off to the basin. Label buffers as
undisturbed or unexcavated on the comprehensive mine map.
3. Revise the supporting calculations for the measures to pass a 25 year 24 hour
storm event. The rock dam cannot be considered temporary. Temporary
measures are defined as measures only to be used for up to one year. Provide
details on how you arrived at the disturbed area and drainage area figures.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until all of the items fisted
above have been fully addressed. In addition, please note the Land Quality Section may
request additional information, not included in this letter, as the raining application review

Judy-
1. Calculations for 25 year storm were still not used.They used 2 and 10 year again.
2. First 2 pages of calculations are the same as in the original submittal.
3. The rock dam should be a permanent structure - not temporary- is that why he used 10 year numbers? He used the
disturbed area this time, but he doesn't show how he came up with the numbers -also 10 year numbers were used.
4. They did not combine the erosion control on the mine map. Can we ask them to do so again?
If you have questions-please call me

GENERAL BLASTING PLAN ; -t 44D QUALITY SECTION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Blasting plan identifies measures to be taken by Blue Rock Materials. to
ensure that blasting operations are carried out in accordance with federal, state
and local regulations and restrictions including, but not limited to, EM 385 — 1 — 1 ,
EM 1110 — 2 — 3800 and with chapters 210 and 211 of PA Title 25. Measures
identified in this blasting plan apply to all site personnel; and they are to be
thoroughly familiar with this plan.
1.1 Purpose
This plan describes safety standards and practices that will be implemented
during operation to minimize health, safety and environmental concerns related
to blasting at the mine site.
2.0 Blasting Procedures
2.1 Notifications
Blue Rock Materials will post notice of blasting 24 hour in advance at the mine
entrance. BRM representative will hand deliver written notice to all property
owners within 1,000 foot radius to the mine site; BRM will attempt to make
personal delivery and verbally explain process and answer any questions at that
time.
2.2 Blasting Process
Drilling — The area of blasting will be excavated leaving only solid rock to be
drilled. Scaled Distance formulas and vibration prediction will be used as
guidelines to determine maximum pounds of explosives detonated within any
8ms delay period and appropriate drill hole spacing and diameter will be applied.
Loading - The rock to be excavated occurs in varying depths. We expect to find
a medium to hard layer of weathered rock overlying meta-siltstone bedrock.
Explosive type will be determined by drilling reports and ground water
1

encountered. Drill pattern and blast-hole size will be manipulated so that a
powder factor of 1 pound to 1.5 pounds per cubic yard of rock will be maintained.
All holes will be drilled to a depth 2' below proposed sub-grade. Each blast will
be fired with an "open face" blast designed so that each hole fires prior to the
adjoining holes. Cartridge and or bulk explosives will be primed with an
appropriate high explosive primer two to three times the blast-hole diameter
above the bottom of the hole. Once loaded to a predetermined depth, all holes
will be stemmed to the collar with #78 crushed stone. All delay and ignition caps
will be non — electric type having an in hole delay of 500ms and a connector
delay of 25ms and will be connected and inspected by a certified blaster. Tail
caps of all fuses will be of sufficient length that visual inspection after the blast
will be possible to insure that all holes have detonated.
Seismic monitoring will be done at the nearest residence and readings will be
reviewed after each blast to assess the effects of the blast and the need for
changes to blast designs.
Warning — The blaster inspects the blast area to ensure that vehicles and
personnel have withdrawn to a safe distance. Access to the area is"restricted and
warning signals are sounded.
Blast — Following the warning signals, the blast will be detonated.
Clearance — Blasting personnel will conduct a thorough post blast inspection of
the blast area to ensure that all explosives and blasting caps are detonated prior
to any other work proceeding. Once the area is verified clear, the all clear will be
sounded.
2.2.1 Misfires/Cut-offs
If during the post blast inspection of any shot it is determined that all of
any part of the shot did not detonate, the immediate area of the shot will
be secured by blasting personnel and will be treated as an area where
explosives are being loaded. No additional work, other than that
necessary to remove the hazard, shall be performed, and only those
persons needed to do such work shall remain at the blast site. As soon as
practical, notifications will be given and blasting procedures outlined in
section 2.2 will begin.
2

3.0 EXPLOSIVES STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION
No explosives will be stored on mine property. Explosives will be transported to
the mine site on the day of the blast in fully licensed, insured vehicles operated
by the explosive manufacturer and will be clearly placarded "Explosives" Any
unused explosives will be returned to explosives manufacturer's secure offsite
magazines at the end of the work day.
4.0 SAFETY MEASURES
Standard safety measures will be employed during blasting operations to prevent
damage to adjacent resources, residences, utilities, and roadways. As discussed
above, these measures will include blasting controls to limit fly-rock, air blast, and
vibrations near sensitive areas. Warning signals, signage, and procedures to
protect human health and safety are discussed below.
4.1 General Safety Measures
Blue Rock Materials will at all times protect its workers and the public from any
injury or harm from drilling or the use of explosives. Only workers thoroughly
experienced in handling explosives will be permitted to supervise, handle, haul,
load or fire explosives. In those jurisdictions where the licensing of blasters is
mandatory, BRM will provide proof of the necessary certification for every person
so required before any crew assignment.
BRM will not leave holes loaded overnight, unattended or unprotected.
Explosives will be primed immediately before use. Loading and blasting will be
conducted only during daylight hours. No explosives will be abandoned on the
right of way.
During the blasting procedure, all personnel not involved in the actual detonation
will stand back from the time the "blast imminent" signal is given until the "all
clear" has been sounded. The Contractor will post flagmen on all roadways
passing the blast area to stop all traffic during blasting operations.
The Contractor will ensure that no members of the general public are in the area
when a blast occurs.
4.2 Warning Signs and Signals
The blast site will be barricaded and will be posted "BLASTING KEEP AWAY"
while the explosives are being loading.
3

4.2.2 Blast Signals
BRM will use an acceptable air horn or siren to give the blasting warning and "Ail-
Clear" signals. The warning system used for blast signals will produce a sound
that is distinct from any other signals used on the site. Use of vehicle horns as
blast signals will not be permitted. These signals will be clearly posted at the job
site.

Dear Mr. Dube:
This is to inform you that you and/or your firm are/is violating the Mining Act of 1971 by operating
a mine without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statutes (hereinafter NCGS) 74-46, et
seq., as amended.
On April 20, 2010, personnel of this office inspected a mining operation being undertaken off
Highway 294 in Cherokee County, North Carolina. Personnel of this office have also determined that
you and/or your firm are the operator of this mine. The area affected at the site by mining-related
activities was measured to be 1.2 acres in size.
Pursuant to G.S. 74-50 of the Mining Act of 1971, 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 in order to facilitate or accomplish the extraction or removal of
minerals, ores, or other solid matter;
Any activity or process constituting all or part of a process for the extraction or removal of
minerals, ores, soils, and other solid matter from its original location; and/or
The preparation, washing, cleaning, or other treatment of miners Is, ores, or other solid matter so
as to make them suitable for commercial, industrial, or construction use.
"Minerals" means any soils, clay, coal, stone, gravel, sand, phosphate, rock metallic ore, and
any other solid material or substance of commercial value found in natural deposits on or in the
earth (NCGS 74-49(6)).

Dear Ms, Harris;
Subject: Mining Permit Application for Blue Rock Materials LLC, McNabb Quarry, Cherokee
County, North Carolina
On April 8, 2010, we received a_copy of the subject mining permit application with your letter
dated April 6, 2010. Your letter asked that comments be returned to your office by April 30,
2010. Please note that it is our policy to have responses to requests for comments mailed
within 30 days of receipt of the request. The quantity of projects we review generally does
not allow for a quicker response. Asking for our response in a shorter period would force
us to give priority to some projects over others; we respond to projects in the order
received and will continue to do so. If you would like our response by a particular date,
please ask for our comments at least a month in advance. The following comments are
provided in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act; Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(16 U.S.C. 703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531-1543) (Act).
The subject application is for a new mining operation in an 11.58 acre area adjacent to Hickey
Branch in Cherokee County, North Carolina—the area was previously mined in the early 1980s.
The disturbed acreage will include 1.6 acres for the plant area and haul roads, 0.25 acre for
stockpiles, 0.43 acre for sediment ponds, 0.15 acre for stockpiles, and 1.35 acres for excavation.
Maximum mine depth is expected to be about 100 feet with an average depth of 60 feet.
Excavation will be accomplished with a front-end loader, shovel, and truck. The application
states that a 50-Fool buffer will be maintained between the mine and the adjacent stream (Hickey
Branch).

0 o
We are concern that the subject mine could potentially impact Hickey Branch within the project
area and'cause downstream impacts. Though the applicant states that a 50-foot-wide buffer will
be maintained along the stream, we believe 50 feet is inadequate to protect the stream. On
virtually all projects, we strongly recommend undisturbed forested buffers for all intermittent
streams, perennial streams, and wetlands--mitiimutn buffers of 50 feet on intermittent streams
and wetlands and 100 feet. on perennial streams.' Additionally, we encourage the
implementation of buffers on ephemeral streams due to the important functions they provide as
headwater streams. Buffers should be measured horizontally from the edge of the stream bank,
which may result in wider buffers at higher gradients, and must be provided over the entire
length of the stream, including headwater streams.
The permit application does not detail the habitat of the proposed mine area nor does it mention
whether surveys have been conducted for federally listed endangered and threatened species.
Enclosed is a list of species for Cherokee County, North Carolina, that are on the Federal List of
Endangered card Threatened Wildlife and Plants. Where suitable habitat exists, we recommend
surveying the project area for these species prior to any further planning or on-the-ground
activities to ensure that no adverse impacts occur to any of these species. Please note that the
endangered Indiana bat is considered a summer resident in Cherokee County. To minimize the
potential of directly impacting the Indiana bat, all tree removal in the mining area should take
place between October 15 and April 15. If trees need to be removed outside of this time frame,
surveys for the Indiana bat should be conducted in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the
species' recovery plan to determine the species' presence/absence. The enclosed list also
includes federal species of concern that are currently under status review by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service that may occur in the project impact area. Federal species of concern are not
legally protected under the Act and are not subject to any of its provisions unless they are
formally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened. We are including these species in our
response to give you advance notification. Any impacts to these federal species of concern will
only push them closer to the need for federal protection; i.e., listing under the Act.
We are concerned with the use of invasive exotic species in the reclamation and erosion control
associated with this project. While many of the exotic plant species typically used in reclamation
and erosion-control efforts have proven beneficial to some wildlife species, we now know that
the invasive nature of these species outweighs any short-term wildlife benefits they may provide.
Exotic species are a major contributor to species depletion and extinction, second only to habitat
loss. Exotics are a factor contributing to the endangered or threatened status of more than
40 percent of the animals and plants on the Federal List of IsrulmrgJered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants,2 It is estimated that at least 4,000 exotic plant species and 2,300 exotic animal
species are now established in the United States, costing more than $130 billion a year to
11ro prevent impacts to federally listed aquatic species, we recommend that these buffer widths be doubled on
streams known to contain,or influence waterways that contain, federally protected species.

control.3 Additionally, the U.S. Government has many programs and laws in place to combat
invasive species (see wtivtiv.iiivasivesl)ecies.gov) and thus cannot spend money to counter these
efforts. Specifically, Section 2(a)(3) of Executive Order 13112 - Invasive Species (February 3,
1999) directs federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it. believes are
likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the United States or
elsewhere." Despite their short-term erosion-control benefits, many exotic species used in soil
stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they are established, thereby preventing the
reestablishment of native vegetation. Many of these exotics plants are also aggressive invaders
of nearby natural areas, where they are capable of displacing already established native species.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that only native plant species be used in association with all
aspects of this project.
Additionally, because this site is in such close proximity to the Nantahala National Forest,
avoiding invasive exotic species is particularly important. Tall fescue (including Kentucky 31
fescue) and Sericea lespedeza are listed as a category 1 exotic invasive plant species on the
Regional Forester's List and Ranking Structure - Invasive Exotic Plaw Species ref Management
Concern for the U.S. Forest Service's Southern Region. Category I exotic plant species are
known to be invasive and persistent throughout all or most of their range within the Southern
Region. They can spread into, and persist in, native plant communities and displace native plant
species. Therefore, they pose a demonstrable threat to the integrity of the natural plant
communities in the Southern Region. The use of category I species is prohibited on national
forest land.
Thank you for allowing us to provide these comments. If we can be of assistance or if you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Allen Ratzlaff of our staff at 828/258-3939,

T = threatened. A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout
all or a significant portion of its range."
C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient
information to support listing. (Formerly "C I" candidate species.)
BGPA =Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. See below.
FSC = federal species of concern. A species under consideration for listing, for which there is
insufficient information to support listing at this time. These species may or may not be listed in
the future, and many of these species were formerly recognized as "C2" candidate species.
T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A taxon that is threatened due to similarity
of appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S/A) are
not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See
below.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA):
In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered,
and removed (de-listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This
delist.ing took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
(Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle
Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that
includes "disturb". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to
provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald
eagles. For more information, visit htti)://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/baideaple.htm
Threatened due to similarity of ayPearance(T(SIA)):
In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog
turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern
population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of
5

appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international
commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T(S/A) designation has no
effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the
southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of
concern due to habitat loss.
Definitions of Record Status:
Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years.
Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter 74,
Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
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 Register of Historic Places will be
affected by the proposed borrowing. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be
conducted in connection with this project.
While we note that this project review is only for a state pemut, the potential for federal permits may require
further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,

Comments for review -
1. There are no wells shown on the mine map.
2. The final fill slopes are too steep for reclamation. Can we recommend 2H:1V..
3. 1 Can't tell how much land Larry owns on the west side. Did they properly notify?
4. Ask them to combine the erosion control plan on the mine map.
S. They mention cross sections, but no details are given.
6. How are they going to direct storm water to the basin? No measures diverting water.
7. Total drainage area was not used for calculations -total disturbed was used.
B. Calculations used are not for 25 year storm. They used 2 year and 10 year.
Also-this site is currently using a portable crusher and are selling rock.The disturbed area is 1.2 acres. I will be faxing air

MEMORANDUM
'to: Brenda M. Harris, Mining Program Secretary
Land Quality Section, NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources
FROM: Dave McHenry, Mountain Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 30, 2010
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application for Blue Rock Materials, LLC
McNabb Quarry, Cherokee County
Staff with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) reviewed the permit application for the
11.6-acre McNabb Quarry in Cherokee County. We understand that this area has been mined in the past.
Comments from the Commission are provided under provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended,
1982; G.S. 74-46 through 74-69; 15 NCAC 5)and the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et.
seq.).
The Commission does not anticipate undue adverse effects of this mine permit renewal on fish and wildlife
resources provided sediment and erosion controls are effective and a vegetated buffer, preferably forested, is
maintained along Hickey Branch- The Commission also requests that the erosion control and reclamation
plan include vegetation that would benefit wildlife resources. Sericea lespedeza and tall fescue, which are
listed in the seeding plan, should be avoided because they are invasive and inhibit the establishment of native
plants that are more valuable as wildlife forage and cover. A mixture of creeping red fescue, red clover, and
oats is a good alternative that will allow native grasses and other plants to volunteer over time (see
Attachment). Also, creeping red fescue does not have the high soil fertility requirements of tall fescue. The
Commission's Division of Wildlife Management(contact Kelly Hughes, 828/651-8380) can provide more
information and ideas on mine erosion control and reclamation to benefit wildlife.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this permit action. Please contact me at (828)
452-2546 extension 24 if there are any questions about these comments.

Seed Mixes for Re-vegetating Disturbed Sites 2"" DRAFT
Basic Mix
Oats (Mar-Jun), Wheat (Jul-Nov), or Rye Grain Dec-Feb 1-2 bags $ 5-10 bag
Red Clover Tri olium pralense 10 lbs/ acre $ 3 / lb
Creeping Red Fescue Festuca rubrcr 20 lbs I acre $ 2-3 / lb
-The Basic Mix can be sown on disturbed sites in the mountains and upper piedmont year round
but spring or fall seeding will result in a better stand. It is important to use all of the components
of the Basic Mix. The cover crop grain & legume provide rapid green-up while the creeping red
fescue is developing. These components can be obtained locally.
-The perennial grass will establish within the first year and is key for site stabilization. Creeping
red fescue has a wide range of adaptation when used for erosion control along roads and
highways; cuts, fills, and other disturbed areas; and for stream and channel bank stabilization. It
thrives in sun or shade, and is drought-resistant after establishment.
For permanent seeding of harsh dry sites, Hard Fescue Festuca 10 lbs I acre $ 3 / lb
brevi ila syn. trachy hylla can be added to the Basic Mix
Application Notes
- Disturbed sites with loose soils can usually be sown without extensive seedbed preparation if
seeded as soon as the other work is completed.
- Where necessary, prepare seedbed with conventional farm equipment (tractor and disk), or the
soil surface can be bladed and then tracked with a bulldozer.
- On poor soils and subsoil sites, a low nitrogen fertilizer such as 5-10-10 may be required. Red
fescue is adapted to sandy and acid soils so extensive soil amendments are usually not needed.
- If required, apply any necessary soil amendments, then drill or broadcast the seed mix.
- The larger cover crop grains can be sown separately first and covered lightly to prevent loss of
seed from wildlife such as turkeys and doves.
-The rest of the seed mix should then be sown, but not covered with soil. 1t is better to firm the
small seed into the soil than to try to cover it.
- Culti-pack conventional seedbeds to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Tracked sites will fill in
on their own from rainfall.
- Apply straw mulch at a minimum of 15 bales per acre to help enhance soil moisture as well as
hold the soil in place until the seed germinates.

Blue Rock Materials, LIP Page 3 � April 30,2009
McNabb Quarry
- If the site calls for it, use natural fiber matting (not plastic). Natural fiber matting is
recommended over plastic matting or matting that contains strands of plastic that can impinge
and entrap small animals.
- Hydro-seeding (Basic Mix) can be used for slopes where equipment access is difficult.
- Monitor the site until the perennial grass component is fully established. Mature stands of the
Basic Mix are short-statured and will not require mowing. The seeded mix should persist for
many years, but will eventually yield to developing successional species.
-Native wildflowers and grasses can be added to the Basic Mix to beautify and diversify the site,
and improve wildlife habitat. The following lists contain native species that are reasonably priced
as natives go. The easy, proven performers are listed at the top of the tables, with the more
challenging species towards the bottom. These seeds can be ordered from a reputable seed
dealer. For sources, refer to Wildlife Seed List at
http://www.ncwildlife.org/Wildlife Species ConIWSC W11M.1-itm .
- When adding native grass seed, sow the mix in late fall, winter, or early spring to subject the
seed to cool, moist soil conditions necessary to break seed dormancy. Sowing during the warmer
months may delay native grass germination until the following year, and some seed may be lost
in the interim. Mixes with mainly wildflowers can be sown in early fall. Mixes with native seed
can be culti-packed or tracked in with a bulldozer; hydro-seeding is apparently not
recommended.
- Adding natives will increase the height of the resulting stands. For information on each
species, visit littpa/plants,usda.gov/; type in the scientific name in the search box.

Subject: RE: Erosion Control Plan
Elizabeth,
The application in question is for a mining permit the Blue Rock Materials„ LLC McNabb Quarry in Cherokee County. It
was received on April 5, 2010. The permit is not for an erosion and sedimentation plan approval,although the erosion
and sedimentation plan is part of the mining permit application. The site is an old quarry site. The previous quarry
operation there was reclaimed and released in 1988. That's why a whole new application must be filed now.
GS 74-50 through 51 of the Mining Act describes the mine permitting process. The adjoining landowners are given 30
days from the time the application is received by the State to give comments or request a public hearing. Additionally,
the Act provides that the application be routed to a several state and federal agencies for comments. Given the
statutory time frame and interagency review, 45 days or so is about as quick as you can get a mining permit. If there is
sufficient public interest to hold a public hearing,you can add another 30 days. Any application revision request or
delay in the applicant securing the reclamation bond causes additional delay.
Applications for rock quarries typically cause the most controversy because of the blasting. We have already received a
complaint that present McNabb Quarry was operating without a mining permit in violation of the Mining Act. However,
maybe there will not be too much controversy at this site because this site had previously been permitted as a rock
quarry. The operation of the mine without a permit is subject to civil penalties.
We will endeavor to provide the reviews as timely as possible, but it usually takes 2-6 months for a rock quarry
application to go through the process.
Please advise if I can provide additional information.

Please find attached a copy of the mining permit renewal/modification request for the above referenced project.
The McNabb Quarry located in Cherokee County does not appear to have an unduly adverse effect on ground
water supplies since there is no dewatering proposed on site. If it becomes necessary to begin pumping water
from the mine to stabilize mining activities, the Division of Water Resources would like to be contacted so that
it may further investigate any potential effects on potable ground water supplies.
Facilities not in the fifteen county Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area are required to register their water
withdrawals in accordance with the North Carolina General Statute G.S. 143-215.22H. This statue 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 statue 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.

mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).
A buffer of 50 feet in width is planned for the permit boundary adjacent to the creek, however the
property owner has an established gravel road to access timber within this area so the buffer will not
be undisturbed.
G. 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.
As mentioned in C 1 ,the initial material to be crushed for aggregate was blasted 25 to 30 years ago
and is piled near the blasting area creating a wide bench. As this material is crushed and stockpiled,
a wide range of material sizes ranging from sand to automobile sized boulders will be uncovered in
the bench. The large material has been stable for the past three decades. As material is removed and
crushed,the slope angles of the excavation will be based on the size of materials exposed. Exposed
rock faces will be left vertical with benching where needed for rockfall protection. Other finer
materials will be graded to meet the requirements above.

6. Remove material and crush/stockpile.
7. Set a schedule for repeating the cycle above.
8. Bench areas in new rock to protect from rockfall as excavation proceeds.
9. Berm or boulder the edges of new excavations in rock for safety and runoff
control.
10.When necessary, reset crusher and stockpiles to make room for more rock
removal.

RECLAMATION PLAN
1. At the conclusion of mining activities or as mining ends in portions of the site,
overburden soils and spoil materials will be used to fill the site. The site will be
graded to maintain drainage and sloped no steeper than 1 112H to 1 V.
2. The slope will be seeded and fertilized in accordance with the reclamation plan
table. Spread and till in the fertilizer, lime and phosphate prior to seeding.
3. Seed the area based on the dates during which the work is being completed.
4. Mulch and tack will be spread over the seed in accordance with the reclamation
table.
5. For areas which end up steeper than 1 112H to 1 V, use North American Green
C125BN natural netting or equivalent as the slope cover after seeding.
6. Areas to remain as pasture will be checked for seed germination and will be
reseeded by hand for areas that do not initially germinate.
7. For areas to be restored to woodlands, utilize the initial recommended trees at
the spacing recommended by the local soil and water conservation district.
8. Roadways to remain will be checked for proper drainage including, slope toward
the ditching, check dams, culverts and seeding of the ditch slopes.
9. The remaining high wall will be protected using fencing to keep the public from
approaching the edge of the slope.
10.The access to the property will be limited by a steel gate and boulders blocking
access roads where they will not to be used by the owner after site closure.

Quarry Erosion Control Project No.SGS10-009
Blue Rock Materials,LLC Cherokee County,North Carolina
PROJECT INFORMATION
Blue Rock Materials, LLC is a company formed in order to permit an abandoned quarry
site off HWY 294 in Murphy NC. The site is located on Shearing Road approximately
3.8 miles north of the intersection of US 64 and HWY 294. The site lies on the western
side of the ridge on the property. Elevations within the development area of the property
range from 1692 to 1652 msl. Hydrologic Soil Groups on the site are primarily group
B. The drainage from the site is tributary to Persimmon Creek which is classified C. See
attached plans for details.
Plans for Erosion Control for the project have been developed by S and G Engineering
Services, Inc. (SGES). The plan for removal of material on this site is to take the existing
bench down to approximately an elevation of 1652 without removal in the north or
eastern directions. The plan is to stay within the permitted limits of disturbance and
remove and process material for sale.
Existing Erosion Control Conditions
The site in its current configuration, as was mentioned, is a bench on the western side of
thV hill. There is an unknown amount of old spoil material on the site below existing
grade. There are some large boulders strewn throughout the site. On the northwestern
side there is a depressed area which is planned to be improved to form a Rock Dam
Sediment Basin to serve the quart'.
A boundary and partial surface survey were combined with NCDOT lidar data to form
the surface model for the site. The survey was performed by WW Land Surveying of
Murphy. Planned limits of disturbance have been noted on the plans. An un-named
tributary to Persimmon Creek lies to the southwest of the quarry site. Surface conditions
on the bench are rocky with minimal soil and vegetation covering. The bench slopes

toward the northwest. Cut faces to the northeast are bare rock and impervious. The top of
the hill lies a short distance to the northeast of the bench.
A hydrological analysis of the site was performed by SGES. Runoff calculations were
performed via the Rational Method. Drainage areas were defined by the natural
watershed which is shown on the plan. A routing diagram indicates that all flows will
drain to the sediment basin. See Rational Method Flow Calculations for Structures
spreadsheet in Appendix AI for results.
Site Drainage
The concept for site drainage is for the site to be graded such that there is at least a
minimum slope of 1%on the bench at all times towards the proposed sediment basin. The
surface of the site will see considerable equipment traffic on a continual basis and cannot
be stabilized due to the limited space. However there is expected to be minimal soils on
the quarry site once operations begin,minimizing the chance for offsite sedimentation.
Rock Dam Sediment Basin
There is a plan for a single Rock Dam sediment basin on the north western side of the site
which will serve as the treatment BMP for the quarry. A depressed area on to the north
west which has a formed boulder dam on the creek side will be improved to match the
detail and will provide sufficient surface area and volume to serve the site. The down
slope side of the dam consists of large boulders with no soils present and will serve as a
rip rap lined channel to convey runoff down the slope to an outlet protection rip rap
apron. See detail sheet for further information.
Bench Shoulder
The main operational area of the bench will have a formed shoulder to prevent runoff
from traveling down slope to the south west and bypassing the sediment basin. This
shoulder shall be maintained and re-formed as necessary as the bench elevation is
reduced.
