Mine Permit Modification— Response to Comments
Altapass Mine—Mining Permit No. 61-16
The Quartz Corp USA
Mitchell County, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 213314
7.0 INTRODUCTION
S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is pleased to submit this Mining Permit Modification on behalf of The Quartz Corp USA
(Quartz Corp). Quartz Corp has an active mining permit(Permit No. 61-16) for their Altapass Mine Site in Spruce
Pine, Mitchell County, North Carolina.The most recent permit modification was approved on June 19, 2007.
Quartz Corp intends to construct a temporary holding basin on the land covered by the active permit, add one
additional parcel (PIN: 0799-09-16-2177) which is contiguous to the active permit, and construct an improved
access road from Highway 226 across the additional parcel.
Quartz Corp is in the process of evaluating several potential grading alternatives for a freshwater reservoir that will
be constructed within the permit boundary. The freshwater reservoir is necessary to provide suitable water during
time periods when the water in Grassy Creek is too turbid for use in mineral processing operations. A subsequent
Mine Permit Modification application package will be submitted upon selection and design of the freshwater
reservoir configuration. The subsequent Mine Permit Modification application package will demonstrate how the
improved access road from Highway 226 shown in this application will be extended to the proposed reservoir
location. No stream or wetland impacts will be conducted prior to receipt of both a Mining Permit and applicable
404/401 permits.
1.1 Existing and Proposed Land Use
The project area is located in Spruce Pine, Mitchell County, North Carolina as shown on Figures 1 and 2. The
existing land conditions generally consist of steep wooded terrain south of the North Toe River, and industrial and
residential areas north of the North Toe River. The existing permitted land use is shown on the existing Mining
Map included as Appendix I and consists of stockpile and processing facilities north of the North Toe River,
processing, excavation, and stockpile areas on the east side of Grassy Creek near the confluence of the North Toe
River, and relatively large areas of unallocated land abutting the east and west banks of Grassy Creek. The existing
permitted limits do not include access to North Carolina Highway 226.A new property boundary survey was
conducted as part of this Mine Permit Modification and is included as Appendix II.
The proposed land use is shown on the Drawings in Appendix III and includes construction of a lined temporary
holding basin with associated pump and pipe infrastructure and an improved access road from Highway 226. The
temporary holding basin consists of an approximately 715,000-gallon reservoir with a double-liner system that can
temporarily store wastewater effluent during outages of the primary treatment system. The wastewater stored in
the basin will be pumped back to the treatment system as early as practical. The emergency basin will not require
clearing to construct.
Erosion and sediment control measures will be installed prior to land disturbance and will remain in place until the
tributary drainage area is stabilized with permanent ground cover. The design, including final grading plans are
subject to change pending incorporation of geotechnical information that was obtained from recent drilling
activities.
The proposed land use does not include mining for commercial activities.

1.2 AdditionaI Parcel
The proposed Mining Permit Modification includes the addition of one parcel between the currently permitted
mining limits and NC Highway 226 to provide highway access. The parcel is shown on the Drawings in Appendix
III and described in the North Carolina Mining Permit Application in Appendix IV. The parcel ID and acreage are
summarized as follows:
Parcel ID = 0799-09-16-2177.
Area = 6.56 acres.
Property owners adjacent to the proposed additional parcel have been notified as required. Proof of notification
is provided in Appendix V.
2.0 NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
S&ME has performed natural and cultural resources due diligence activities in the footprint of the proposed
freshwater reservoir and access roads, summarized as follows.
`-- 2.1 Stream and Wetland Delineation
S&ME performed a jurisdictional delineation to identify the location of jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.within the
boundaries of the project areas in September 2022.Jurisdictional waters are those waters, including wetlands,
which are subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) under the federal regulatory authority of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), as well as Section 401 of the CWA under the regulatory authority of the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR).Our approach to performing the jurisdictional delineation
included:
Assessment and documentation of site conditions as to the presence and/or absence of wetland areas,
using the three-parameter approach (hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology) set
forth in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and appropriate Regional Supplement.
Identification and demarcation of waterways (rivers, streams, and other jurisdictional linear features),
takes, and ponds, considered to be Waters of the U.S. under the jurisdiction of the USAGE and NCDWR
utilizing the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's (NCDWQ's) Stream Identification Method and
Form (Version 4.11)_
Identification and demarcation of upland/wetland boundaries and waterway boundaries with sequentially
numbered flagging.
Relevant supporting information, including Mitchell County GIS data, U.S.Geological Survey (USGS) topographic
maps, Mitchell County Topographic Maps, the Mitchell County Soil Survey, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
publication Hydric Soils of the U.S., and representative aerial imagery were reviewed prior to conducting field
work. Upon completion of the field delineation, the delineated boundaries were located in the field with a
Trimble(K) GeoXH Global Positioning System (GPS) unit capable of sub-meter accuracy.

The location of potentially jurisdictional streams and wetlands are shown on the Drawings in Appendix Ill. The
design including final grading plans are subject to change pending receipt of topographic survey information.
Impacts to streams and wetlands have been minimized and will be avoided where possible. Stream and wetland
impacts will be permitted as described in Section 3.3 of this report.
2.2 Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment
To determine compliance with applicable sections of the ESA of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME biologists visited
the site in September 2022 to conduct surveys for relevant federally protected species. Prior to the site visit, S&ME
submitted a request for information to the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP). The NCNHP responded with a
report dated August 15, 2022 that listed element occurrences, natural areas, and managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area.The report identified two element occurrences, neither of which hold federal protection
status, and one natural area within the project area. No managed areas were recorded within the project area-The
report identified eight element occurrences, none of which hold federal protection status, two natural areas, and
seven managed areas within one mile of the project area. Three of the managed areas are owned by the State of
North Carolina.
S&ME also consulted the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC}
system for a list of species that are known or expected to be near the assessment area. The IPaC report identified
the species listed in Table 1 as having potential to be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area.

Descriptions of the relevant species taken from USFWS sources are provided below.
2.1.1 Gray Bat
Status: Endangered
Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect
Gray bat has unicolored dorsal fur (gray after the mid-summer molt, at other times sometimes chestnut brown or
russet), paler below, with hairs darker basally;wing membrane (gray) connects to the foot at the ankle. There is a
distinct sagittal crest on the skull. Gray bat is most likely to be confused with M. lucifugus, M. sodalis, M.
austroriparius, and M. septentrionalis. It is distinguished from these by uniform-colored dorsal fur from base to tip
(all others have contrasting shades, bi- or tri-colored dorsal fur) and by attachment of wing membrane at the
ankle, not at base of toe.
Mating occurs in September-October.Adult females store sperm through the winter and become pregnant soon
after emergence from hibernation. One young is born late in May or in early June. Larger colonies are more
successful in raising young. Most young are able to fly in 20-35 days, depending on colony size. Individual females
typically do not produce young until their second year_ Recorded maximum longevity approximately 14-17 years
but may be longer. Maternity colonies include from a few hundred to many thousands of individuals.
Wintering caves often are hundreds of kilometers from summer range_ Individuals regularly migrate 10-27D miles
between summer maternity sites and winter hibernacula. In some areas, the same caves are used in winter and
summer; in other areas (e_g_, Missouri,Arkansas) many caves used in summer are vacant in winter. Females depart
wintering caves in late March and early April, males in late April and May. Evidence suggests that bats migrate in
small flocks (Barbour and Davis 1969).Small caves may be used as rest stops. Gray bats show strong philopatry to
both summering and wintering sites.
Roost sites are nearly exclusively restricted to caves throughout the year, though only a few percent of available
caves are suitable.Winter roosts are in deep vertical caves with domed halls. Large summer colonies utilize caves
that trap warm air and provide restricted rooms or domed ceilings; maternity caves often have a stream flowing
through them and are separate from the caves used in summer by males.
In the summer, maternity colonies prefer caves that act as warm air traps or that provide restricted rooms or
domed ceilings that are capable of trapping the combined body heat from thousands of clustered individuals_
Undisturbed summer colonies may contain up to 2S0,000 bats, and average 10,000 to 25,000. Summer caves are
nearly always located within 0.6 mile of a river or reservoir over which the bats forage.

Young often feed and take shelter in forest areas near the entrance to cave roosts. Foraging is generally parallel to
streams, over the water at heights of 6 to 9 feet. The energy demands on adult females are tremendous during
lactation, and individual females sometimes feed continuously for seven or more hours per night. They feed
mostly upon flying insects, including mayflies and beetles.
S&ME's assessment of the project area did not identify caves or portals that would serve as suitable roost sites
within the proposed limits of disturbance. However, according to the USGS Mineral Resources online spatial
database, one mine was identified on the site, and ten other mines are recorded in a 0.50-mile radius of the
project area. The mine site recorded on the site is identified as the C.W. Allen Prospect of unknown operator type
(35.90203, -82.06928). The record likely relates to surface excavation that occurred along the western project area
boundary.
Although no evidence of caves, mine shafts or portals were observed on-site, the project area contains suitable
foraging habitat for this species.
Primary clearing activities will be scheduled outside of March 15- November 1, thereby avoiding the gray bat's
period of highest activity.
2.1.2 Northern Long-eared Bat
Status: Threatened
Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect
The northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionahs) is a medium-sized bat about three to 3.7 inches in length but
with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. This bat generally is associated with old-growth forests composed of trees 100
years old or older. It relies on intact interior forest habitat, with low edge-to-interior ratios. Relevant late-
successional forest features include a high percentage of old trees, uneven forest structure (resulting in
multilayered vertical structure), single and multiple tree-fall gaps, standing snags, and woody debris.
Foraging occurs within forests, along forest edges, over forest clearings, and occasionally over ponds. Eleven
individuals (10 males, 1 female) tagged with chemical lights observed during the summer in Missouri, foraged
almost exclusively among the trees of hillside and ridge forests, rather than utilizing floodplain and riparian
forests; frequently foraging occurred within one to three meters of the ground. Foraging bats doubled back
frequently and only slowly moved out of the observation area. In Iowa, females were found primarily foraging in
mature deciduous uplands with adjacent deep ravines and in a disturbed riparian area with an adjacent floodplain
and agricultural lands.
Hibernation occurs primarily in caves, mines, and tunnels, typically those with large passages and entrances,
relatively constant and cool temperatures, high humidity, and no air currents_ Hibernators frequently roost in
crevices, drill holes, and similar sites where they may be overlooked during surveys but roosting in the open is not
uncommon. A lack of suitable hibernacula may prevent occupancy of areas that otherwise have adequate habitat.
Although no evidence of caves, mine shafts or portals were observed on-site, the project area contains suitable
foraging habitat for this species.

Primary clearing activities will be scheduled outside of March 15- November 1, thereby avoiding the gray bat's
period of highest activity_
2.1.3 Tricolored Bat
Status: Proposed Endangered
Biological Determination: May Affect Not Likely to Adversely Affect
The tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) is the smallest bat within found in the eastern and midwestern states. It
typically weighs about 1.5-3 ounces and its length is 3-3.5 inches from head to toe.The tricolored bat gets its
name due to its pelage hair upon close examination being brown at the tip, yellow in the middle, and dark at the
base.These bats have oblong ears_These bats also tend to be slow fliers with erratic and fluttering patterns while
foraging.
Tricolored bats appear to inhabit landscapes that are partly open, with large trees and plentiful woodland edges.
They are found in a variety of terrestrial habitats, including grasslands, old fields, suburban areas, orchards, urban
areas and woodlands, especially hardwood woodlands. They generally avoid deep woods as well as large, open
fields. They require specific habitats for hibernating, roosting and foraging.
These bats will hibernate in caves, mines and even buildings with variations in hibernation site selection by region.
They also tend to occupy the very back of the caves and other hibernation sites,where temperature is highest and
least variable, the walls of the cave are warmer, and humidity levels are higher.
Tricolored bats will roost in a wide variety of habitats, again varying by region.They may be found in caves,
crevices, trees and anthropogenic structures such as barns.They tend to feed over water bodies such as rivers or
lakes, where insect populations are highest.They also tend to select for more open foraging sites,with higher
canopies where canopies occur at all.
Primary clearing activities will be scheduled outside of March 15 - November 1, thereby avoiding the gray bat's
period of highest activity.
2.1.4 Bog Turtle
Status: Similarity of Appearance (Threatened)
Biological Determination: No Effect
The bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergic) is the smallest turtle inhabiting North America. Its length typically does not
exceed three to four inches and its weight is usually around four ounces. On its neck there is a orange/yellow
patch coloration found which helps distinguish it from other turtles. This species emerges from its hibernation in
early to mid-April and begin mating as early as May. A female typically lays a clutch of one to six small,white,
elliptical eggs in a shallow nest of sphagnum moss or tuft of grass above the water line.After seven to eight
weeks, the hatchlings emerge. Hatchlings often spend their first year near the nest.
Bog turtles live in the mud, grass and sphagnum moss of bogs, swamps, and marshy meadows. These wetlands
are usually fed by cool springs flowing slowly over the land, creating the wet, muddy soil needed by the turtles.

Species that are threatened due to similarity of appearance are not biologically endangered or threatened and are
not subject to Section 7 consultation_ However, the project as proposed should have no effect on bog turtles
because the site does not contain suitable habitat for this species. Although some of the onsite wetlands can be
characterized as seeps, they are either located in wooded areas or flow across the existing gravel access road
where the substrate and duration of soil saturation is not likely considered conducive.
2.1.5 Appalachiali Elktoe
Status: Endangered
Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect
The Appalachian elktoe (Alasmidonto roveneliona) is a thin, kidney-shaped mussel with a shell that reaches a
maximum length of 117 millimeters. The shell ranges in color from yellowish brown to dark brown. Dark green
rays of varying widths occur on some shells of this species_
The Appalachian elktoe inhabits relatively shallow, medium-sized creeks and rivers with cool, well-oxygenated and
moderate-to-fast flowing water_ It has been observed in a variety of substrate types including gravel mixed with
cobble and boulders, in cracks within bedrock, and occasionally in relatively silt-free, coarse sand.
The project as proposed may affect, but not likely to adversely affect the Appalachian Elktoe because the project
site is located adjacent to suitable habitat for this species. However, the project has been designed to avoid
impacts to Grassy Creek.
2.1.6 Mmarch .butterfly
Status: Candidate
Biological Determination: No Effect
The monarch butterfly (Donous plexippus) is reddish/orange in color with black vein like markings. It has a black
border around its wings with white spots. In the spring and summer, the monarch butterfly's primary habitat is
open field and meadows containing milkweed. In the winter it can be found on the coast of southern California as
well as high altitudes of central Mexico_
Species listed as candidate are not biologically endangered or threatened and therefore are not subject to formal
Section 7 consultation. However, the project as proposed should have no effect on the monarch butterfly because
the project site does not contain open fields or meadows.
2.1.7 Virgifiia Spiraea
Status: Threatened
Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely toAdversely Affect
Virginia spiraea (Spiraea virginiona) is a shrub endemic to the southern Appalachians.This plant species that
typically exists in clumps. Mature plants reach a height of three to ten feet. Young stems are greenish yellow to
dark brown and mature stems are dark gray. The roots form a complex system.The creamy white flowers are in
tightly packed bunches.

Mitchell County, North Carolina I
S&ME Project No. 213314
Habitat for the Virginia spiraea includes periodically flood-scoured banks of high-gradient mountain streams,
meander scrolls, point bars, natural levees, and braided features of lower stream reaches, and occasionally near
disturbed rights-of-way.
This plant is often found on geologically active areas with erosion, deposition, and slumping, along rivers with
dynamic flooding regimes, sandbars, scoured river shores and flat rocks with crevices. These areas also are
associated with cobbles, boulders, and massive rock outcrops with sandy or clay soils and can be periodically xeric.
These plants are often seen in silt, mud, and sand. In North Carolina, this species occurs along rocky bars at river
edges. It grows between boulders and in fine alluvial sand and other alluvial deposits. These sites tend to be
seasonally saturated.
Portions of the lower edge of the banks along Grassy Creek exhibited potentially suitable habitat for this species.
Although no populations of Virginia spiraea were observed, the assessment was not conducted during the optimal
survey window, so the absence of this species cannot be definitely ruled out. However, the project should not
affect adversely affect this species because the LOD does not encroach within portions of Grassy Creek's banks
where potentially suitable habitat was observed.
2.1.8 Rock Gnome Lichen
Status: Endangered
Biological Determination: No Effect
The rock gnome lichen (Gymnodermo lineare), of the reindeer moss family, grows in dense colonies of narrow,
strap-like lobes, called squamules.The squamules are blue gray on the upper surface and typically shiny white on
the lower surface. Near the base of the lobe, the color darkens to black. The squamules are less than one
millimeter wide and one to two centimeters long. The small fruiting bodies occur at the tips of the squamules
from July to September. The fruits are colored black or brown and no larger than one millimeter.
The rock gnome lichen only grows in areas with a great deal of humidity, such as high elevations (above 5,000
feet)where fog often occurs or in deep river gorges at lower elevations. Habitat is restricted to vertical rock faces
occasionally exposed to seepage water.This plant does well on moist, generally open sites with northern
exposures but needs partial canopy coverage on southern or western aspect because it is intolerant of high-
intensity solar radiation.This plant will also occur in high elevation coniferous forests, containing red spruce and
Fraser fir, usually on rocky outcrop or cliff habitats present within.
The project as proposed should have no effect on rock gnome lichen because the project site does not contain
suitable habitat for this species.

3.1.4 Calculations
Engineering calculations were prepared to evaluate various aspects of the proposed features. The calculations are
included in Appendix X and summarized as follows.
3.1.4.1 Storrnuyater Managernent
Construction of the improved access road will require installation of stormwater features including:
Culverts;
Energy dissipators; and
Temporary and Permanent Erosion and sediment control practices.
The access road culvert crossing at an unnamed tributary to Grassy Creek has been designed to minimize changes
from existing conditions upstream or downstream. The proposed dual 48-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipes
will pass the anticipated flows from a 100-year, 24-hour storm without overtopping the access road. The receiving
riprap energy dissipator has been designed to provide downstream stability for culvert outflows from the 100-
year, 24-hour design storm.
3.7.42 Temporary Holding Basin
The temporary holding basin will have an approximate operating volume of 715,000 gallons,with an additional
two feet of freeboard. Filling and dewatering times were evaluated for a range of pump flow rates. The
temporary holding basin will provide storage for 4 hours of plant operations assuming a constant inflow rate of
2,500 gpm.
3.2 NCDOT Driveway Permit
Construction of the freshwater reservoir and access roads includes a new driveway to provide access to the site
from North Carolina Highway 226. The Quartz Corp received Driveway Permit Approval from the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) on November 10, 2022. The NCDOT approval letter and driveway permit
figure are included as Appendix IX.
3.3 401/404 Permit
Temporary and permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters will occur at an unnamed tributary to Grassy Creek as
part of construction of an improved access road. The Drawings in Appendix III show field-delineated streams
and wetlands and conceptual grades.
Impacts to Waters of the U.S. (jurisdictional waters) are regulated by the USACE through Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA).The Wilmington District of the USACE handles Section 404 regulatory review. Section 401 of the
CWA grants corresponding regulatory authority to individual states. In North Carolina, the Section 401 regulatory
agency is the NCDWR.

Re: Construct Freshwater Reservoir, Emergency Basin and Lay Down Area, Mitchell County,
ER 22-2110
Dear Ms. Sims:
Thank you for your letter of August 23, 2022, regarding the above-referenced undertaking. We have
reviewed the submission and offer the following comments:
The area of potential effects (APE) for the proposed undertaking between the North Toe River and Grassy
Creek is in an area with a high potential for cultural resources that has not been systematically surveyed
before. We recommend a comprehensive archaeological survey be conducted prior to the initiation of any
ground disturbing activities in portions of the APE with 25% or less slope. Pedestrian reconnaissance
should also be conducted in steeper areas to record any potential rock shelters or historic quarry sites.
The purpose of the survey is to identify any archaeological sites and to make recommendations regarding
their eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The survey should be
conducted by an experienced archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior Professional
Qualifications. A list of archaeological consultants, who have conducted or expressed an interest in
contract work in North Carolina is available at https:Harchaeology.ncdcr.gov/archaeological-consultant-list.
The archaeologists listed, or any other experienced archaeologist, may be contracted to conduct the
recommended survey. Our office requests that your consultant meet with the Office of State
Archaeology Review Archaeologist to discuss appropriate field methodologies prior to the field
investigation.
One paper copy and one digital copy (PDF) of all resulting archaeological reports, as well as a digital copy
(PDF) of the North Carolina Site Form for each site recorded, should be forwarded to the Office of State
Archaeology (OSA) through this office for review and comment, as soon as they are available and in
advance of any construction activities. OSA's Archaeological Standards and Guidelines for Background
Research, Field Methodologies, Technical Reports, and Curation can be found online at:
hops://archaeology.nedcr.gov/osa-guidelines.

Dear Mr. Ray and Mr_ Barden,
On behalf of The Quartz Corp USA, S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is currently seeking information necessary for
completion of a preliminary environmental review of the proposed Freshwater Reservoir and Emergency
Basin Project at The Quartz Corp USA facility in Spruce Pine, Mitchell County, North Carolina. Please
accept this letter as a request for comments from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR) regarding this project.
Project Description
S&ME is assisting the Quartz Corp USA (Quartz Corp) with desgin and permitting of a new freshwater
reservoir, an emergency basin and laydown area at their existing facility in Spruce Pine, North Carolina.
Land use at the project area consists of mining activities and wooded areas. The existing Quartz Corp
production facility is located northeast of the project review area.The emergency basin is proposed for a
developed area west of the production facility, and the freshwater reservoir is proposed for a wooded
area south of the production facility. Land use in the vicinity of the project area consists of commercial
development, wooded areas, institutional development, and scattered residential development.
It is anticipated that impacts to jurisdictional waters will occur and a permit from the United States Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) and subsequent Water Quality Certification (WQC) from the NCDWR will be
necessary.We anticipate that the project can be authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No.44
(Mining Activities) through the USACE Asheville Regulatory Field Office and North Carolina's WQC General
Certification (GC) No.4267. This letter serves as initial consultation to provide written comments
regarding the interests of your agency in this project_

Dear Ms. Sims:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)received your August 22,
2022 letter regarding plans for the construction of a reservoir, emergency basin, and laydown area for a
mine operation in Mitchell County. You requested review and comment on the project. Our comments on
this project are offered for your consideration under provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C.
466 et. seq.) and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Details were not provided in the letter on design nor the size of the project. We are familiar with the
project vicinity and have surveyed Grassy Creek for aquatic biota. Grassy Creek is part of the North Toe
River/Nolichucky River Aquatic Habitat, a NC Natural Heritage Program natural area rated Very High
due to the ecological importance and richness of the aquatic community. Both Sharphead Darter
([Etheostoma acuticeps, US Federal Species of Concern(FSC),NC Threatened] and Eastern Hellbender
(Cryptobranchus alleganiensis,US FSC,NC Special Concern) are found in the North Toe River
downstream of the project area. Most importantly,we have records of Eastern Hellbender from Grassy
Creek on the project property;we strongly recommend avoiding impacts to Grassy Creek to protect these
animals.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me at(828)400-

S&ME Project No. 213314
Dear Ms. Reid,
On behalf of The Quartz Corp USA, S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is currently seeking information necessary for
completion of a preliminary environmental review of the proposed Freshwater Reservoir and Emergency
Basin Project at The Quartz Corp USA facility in Spruce Pine, Mitchell County, North Carolina. Please
accept this letter as a request for comments from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR) regarding this project.
Project Description
S&ME is assisting the Quartz Corp USA (Quartz Corp)with desgin and permitting of a new freshwater
reservoir, an emergency basin and laydown area at their existing facility in Spruce Pine, North Carolina.
Land use at the project area consists of mining activities and wooded areas.The existing Quartz Corp
production facility is located northeast of the project review area. The emergency basin is proposed for a
developed area west of the production facility, and the freshwater reservoir is proposed for a wooded
area south of the production facility. Land use in the vicinity of the project area consists of commercial
development, wooded areas, institutional development, and scattered residential development.
It is anticipated that impacts to jurisdictional waters will occur and a permit from the United States Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) and subsequent Water Quality Certification (WQC) from the NCDWR will be
necessary.We anticipate that the project can be authorized under Nationwide Permit(NWP) No_44
(Mining Activities) through the USACE Asheville Regulatory Field Office and North Carolina's WQC General
Certification (GC) No. 4267. This letter serves as initial consultation to provide written comments
regarding the interests of your agency in this project.

Subject: Scoping for The Quartz Corp Freshwater Reservoir and Emergency Basin in Spruce Pine,
Mitchell County,North Carolina.
Dear Ms. Sims:
On August 23,2022,we received(via e-mail)your information requesting our comments on the subject
project.We have reviewed the information that you presented,and the following comments are provided
in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act(42 U.S.C.§4321 et seq.)and
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531 - 1543) (Act).
Proiect Description
According to the information provided,The Quartz Corp USA proposes to construct a new freshwater
reservoir,emergency basin,and laydown area at their existing facility in Spruce Pine,Mitchell County,
North Carolina.The emergency basin is proposed for a developed area west of the production facility, and
the freshwater reservoir is proposed for a wooded area south of the production facility.
Federally Listed Species
In accordance with section 7(a)(2)of the Act and 50 CFR Part 402.01,before any federal
authorization/permits or funding can be issued for this project,it is the responsibility of the appropriate
federal regulatory/permitting and/or funding agency(ies)to determine whether the project may affect any
federally listed endangered or threatened species or designated critical habitat. If it is determined that this
project may affect any federally listed species or designated critical habitat,section 7 consultation must be
initiated with this office.
The proposed project is in an area that has potential or known occurrence records of species with federal
designations. Below is a list of species that should be considered in a biological assessment and/or
biological evaluation(BABE)prepared for this project.
Species Status'
Appalachian elktoe Alasmidonta raveneliana E
Gray bat Myotis grisescens E
Northern long-eared bat Myotis septentrionalis T,PE
Rock gnome lichen' Gymnoderma lineare E
Tricolored bat I Perimyotis subflavus PE

Species I I Status'
Virginia spiraca I Spiraea virginiana I T
lE= endangered, PE=proposed endangered, T=threatened.
On March 23,2022,the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(Service)published a proposal to reclassify NLEB
as endangered under the Act. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ordered the Service
to complete a new final listing determination for the NLEB by November 2022 (Case 1:15-cv-00477,
March 1, 2021). The bat, currently listed as threatened, faces extinction due to the range-wide impacts of
white-nose syndrome(WNS), a deadly fungal disease affecting cave-dwelling bats across the continent.
The proposed reclassification, if finalized,would remove the current 4(d)rule for the NLEB, as these
rules may be applied only to threatened species. Depending on the type of effects a project has on NLEB,
the change in the species' status may trigger the need to re-initiate consultation for any actions that are not
completed and for which the Federal action agency retains discretion once the new listing determination
becomes effective(anticipated to occur by December 30,2022). If your project may result in incidental
tape of NLEB after the new listing goes into effect this will need to be addressed in an updated
consultation that includes an Incidental Take Statement. If your project may require re-initiation of
consultation,please contact our office for additional guidance.
On September 14, 2022,the Service published a proposal in the Federal Register to list the tricolored bat
as endangered under the Act. The Service has up to 12 months from the date the proposal published to
make a final determination, either to list the tricolored bat under the Act or to withdraw the proposal. The
Service determined the bat faces extinction primarily due to the range-wide impacts of WNS. Because
tricolored bat populations have been greatly reduced due to WNS, surviving bat populations are now
more vulnerable to other stressors such as human disturbance and habitat loss. Species proposed for
listing are not afforded protection under the Act; however, as soon as a listing becomes effective
(typically 30 days after publication of the final rule in the Federal Register),the prohibitions against
jeopardizing its continued existence and"take"will apply. Therefore,if you suspect your future or
existing project may affect tricolored bats after the potential new listing goes into effect,we recommend
analyzing possible effects of the project on tricolored bats and their habitat to determine whether
consultation under section 7 of the Act is necessary. Conferencing procedures can be followed prior to
listing to ensure the project does not jeopardize the existence of a species. Projects with an existing
section 7 biological opinion may require re-initiation of consultation to provide uninterrupted
authorization for covered activities. Please contact our office for additional guidance or assistance.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these continents. Please contact Ms. Rebekah Reid of
our staff at [e-mail] if you have any questions. In any future correspondence concerning
this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-22-720.
Sincerely,

S&ME Project No. 213314
SHPO ER No. 22-2110
Management Summary
On behalf of The Quartz Corp USA (Quartz Corp), S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) has completed an archaeological survey for
the proposed freshwater reservoir and emergency basin located roughly 0.7-mile south of Spruce Pine, Mitchell
County, North Carolina (Figures 1.1 and 12)_The project area is made up of two noncontiguous areas, one is
roughly 58.3 acres and location northeast of NC Highway 226 and south of a portion of the North Toe River and
the other is approximately 0.71-acre and is located north of the North Toe River and southwest of Altapass
Highway along a railroad corridor.
In a letter dated September 9, 2022, in response to a scoping letter submitted by S&ME, the North Carolina State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) requested that a comprehensive archaeological surrey be conducted in high
probability areas that contain slope less than or equal to 25 percent as well as a pedestrian reconnaissance in
steeper area to record potential rock shelters or historic quarry sites (Appendix A). The SHPO letter also stated
that the project will have no effect on historic structures and an architectural survey was not needed for this
project. In email correspondence between Kimberly Nagle with S&ME and Dylan Clark with the Office of State
Archaeology (OSA), dated August 23, 2022, Ms. Nagle provided a map showing the high probability areas that
were to be systematically shovel tested due to the high probability for containing archaeological sites. Mr. Clark
agreed with the areas to be investigated on the map and the following field methods were agreed upon:
Shovel testing at 30-m intervals with transects spaced 30-m apart; 20-m intervals should be used if
time allowed.
If sites are identified, radial shovel tests will be excavated at 15-m intervals; 5-m intervals should be
used if time allowed.
Judgmental shovel tests would be placed in areas to verify the disturbed or poorly drained nature of
the soils;disturbances would be photographed.
The remaining portions of the project area would be pedestrian surveyed looking for rockshelters,
quarry sites, or artifacts on the ground surface.
The following work was conducted in response to the SHPO letter and the presented field methods and was
carried out in general accordance with the agreed-upon scope, terms, and conditions presented in S&ME
Proposal No. 213314 PCR002, dated October 6, 2022. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for direct effects for the
proposed undertaking is the footprint of the project area; indirect effects were not assessed as SHPO determined
that the project would have no effect on historic structures_
Based on the accepted approach to fieldwork outlined above, approximately 33.48 acres was shovel tested at 20-
m intervals; approximately 11.21 acres was pedestrian surveyed along with judgmental shovel testing due to its
low probability for containing archaeological sites;approximately 14.32 acres was not surveyed due to standing
water, excessive slope, or excessive disturbance (Figure 4.1). Fieldwork for the project was conducted from
October 26 through 28, 2022; specifically, three people worked for three days on the project.
As a result of the investigations, one new archaeological site (31 ML107) was identified and recorded. Site
31 ML107 is a nineteenth through twentieth century house site and is recommended not eligible for inclusion in
�r the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) (Figures 1.1 and 1.2). It is the opinion of S&ME that no additional
archaeological work is necessary for the project area. If the project area changes additional cultural resource work
may be necessary.

2.0 Environmental Setting
2.1 Location
The project area is made up of two noncontiguous areas, one is roughly 58.3 acres and location northeast of NC
Highway 226 and south of a portion of the North Toe River and the other is approximately 0.71-acre and is
located north of the North Toe River and southwest of Altapass Highway along a railroad corridor. Located
roughly 0.7-mile south of Spruce Pine, Mitchell County, the project area is bound predominately by wooded areas,
with some rural residential areas to the west and light industrial areas to the east (Figure 1.2).
2.2 GeoIogy and Topography
The project area is located in an area referred to as the Blue Ridge physiographic province_The Blue Ridge is an
area composed of a mixture of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that date to approximately one to
one-and-a-half billion years old and have been squeezed, fractured, faulted, and twisted into folds (North Carolina
Geological Survey [NCGS] 2004).The province is known for deposits of feldspar, mica, and quartz-based material.
Within the project area, elevations range from approximately 2,560 ft above mean sea level (AMSQ, along Grassy
Creek in the southeastern portion of the project area, to 2,760 ft AMSL, in the northwestern corner of the project
area (Figure 1.1).
2.3 Hydrology
The project area is contained within the French Broad drainage basin, which runs north-south, bisecting North
Carolina's western edge. Grassy Creek is located within the project area along the eastern border and flows into
the North Toe River approximately 500 feet north of the project area.The North Toe River flows northwest and
merges with the Cane River to form the Nolichucky River about 16.8 miles northwest of the project area. The
Nolichucky River continues westward where it flows into the French Broad River.
2.4 CIimate and Vegetation
The climate of Mitchell County varies greatly from the high mountains to the low rolling hills to the flood plains of
the river valleys. The winter low temperature is usually 22°F and the average summer high temperature is about
81T.Total mean annual precipitation is 66 inches with the average seasonal snowfall is 13 inches.Vegetation in
the project area consists of wooded areas and secondary growth; disturbances in the project area include dirt
roads, a dam, graded areas, and push piles; areas of standing water, steep slope over 25 percent, and large rock
outcrops were also within the project area (Figures 2.1 through 2.10).
2.5 Soils
There are six specific soil types found within the project area, as well as areas designated as water; their
descriptions can be found in Table 2.1 and their locations within the project area can be seen in Figure 2.11
(United States Department of Agriculture [USDA] Web Soil Survey, Accessed October 25, 2022).

3.0 Cultural Context
S&ME conducted cultural background research in order to assess the potential for significant cultural resources
and to formulate our expectations regarding the nature and types of cultural resources we were likely to
encounter. While this text only provides a general prehistory and history of the region,we refer the reader to the
original sources for additional information.
3.1 Prehistoric Context
Over the last two decades, there has been much debate over when humans first arrived in the New World.The
traditional interpretation is that humans first arrived in North America via the Bering land bridge that connected
Alaska to Siberia at the end of the Pleistocene, approximately 13,500 years ago. From Alaska and northern Canada,
these migrants may have moved southward through an ice-free corridor separating the Cordilleran and Laurentide
ice sheets to eventually settle in North and South America.
Recently, this interpretation has been called into question, with several sites providing possible evidence for earlier
(Pre-Clovis) occupations. These sites include Monte Verde in southern Chile (Dillehay 1989; Meltzer et al. 1997),
Meadowcroft Rockshelter in Pennsylvania (Adovasio et al. 1979, 1980a, 1980b, 1990), the Cactus Hill (McAvoy and
McAvoy 1997) and Saltville (McDonald 2000) sites in Virginia, and the Topper site in Allendale County, South
,%Ewe Carolina (Goodyear 2005)_ Despite the growing number of sites attributed to pre-Clovis occupations, there are still
significant problems surrounding each site that preclude their widespread acceptance.
3.1.1 Paleoindian Period (ca. 13,000-10,000 B.P.)
The most readily recognizable artifact from the early Paleoindian Period is the Clovis point, which is a fluted,
lanceolate-shaped spear point. Clovis points, first identified from a site in New Mexico, have been found across
the nation (Anderson and Sassaman 1996:222). The Hardaway site on the Yadkin River in Stanly County is the
most important North Carolina site with a Paleoindian component (Coe 1964; Ward and Davis 1999).The earliest
occupation of the site, the Hardaway Phase, dates to at least 10,000 B.P.(Coe 1964). Unfortunately, much of the
data about Paleoindian life in North Carolina and the rest of the Southeast comes from surface finds of projectile
points rather than from controlled excavations.
Projectile point types associated with the Pa[eoindian Period in North Carolina include Clovis, Simpson,
Cumberland, Suwannee, Quad, Beaver Lake, and Dalton (Anderson 1992). Hardaway Complex points are very
similar to Paleoindian types; however, there is debate as to whether Hardaway points reflect a temporal difference,
are stages of Paleoindian tool modification, or are a regional variant (Coe 1964:64; Daniel 1998:52; Goodyear
1974:19-33). In a reexamination of the Hardaway site lithic assemblage, Daniel (1998) has also identified the Small
Dalton type, a transitional Paleoindian to Early Archaic projectile point type sharing characteristics of Hardaway
Side Notched and Palmer Side Notched projectile points.
Paleoindians lived a semi-nomadic life that included a subsistence based on the gathering of wild foods and the
hunting of now extinct megafauna. In North Carolina, settlements include small, temporary, task-specific sites near
minor stream tributaries, with common base camps clustered along major streams (Phelps 1983.21).

3.1.2 Archaic Period (ca. 10,000-3000 B.P.)
Major environmental transformations at the end of the Pleistocene led to changes in human settlement patterns,
subsistence strategies, and technology. As the climate warmed and the megafauna became extinct, population
size increased; there was a simultaneous decrease in territory size and settlement range.
The Archaic Period is conventionally divided into three subperiods: Early Archaic (10,000-8000 B-P.), Middle
Archaic (8000-5000 B.P.), and Late Archaic (5000-3000 B.P.). Each of these subperiods is lengthy, and the
inhabitants were successful in adapting contemporary technology to prevailing climatic and environmental
conditions of the time. Settlement patterns reflected a fairly high degree of mobility, and the ability to make use
of seasonally available resources in the changing environment across different areas of the Southeast. People
relied on large animals and wild plant resources for food. Group size gradually increased during this period,
culminating in a fairly complex and populous society by the Late Archaic.The chronology for the Archaic period in
the Carolinas is still derived primarily from Coe's (1964) important work in the Piedmont of North Carolina.
Seasonal base camps and small foraging camps were numerous in North Carolina during this time and most
ubiquitous in the Coastal Plain (Phelps 1983).
Early Archaic (ca. 10,000-8000 B.P.1
The Early Archaic reflects a continuation of the semi-nomadic hunting and gathering lifestyle of the Paleoindian
groups. However, there was a focus on modern game species rather than the megafauna,which had become
extinct by this time. Changes during this subperiod include a population increase (Goodyear et al. 1989), with
groups concentrated in temporary encampments along river floodplains. In North Carolina, the majority of Early
Archaic archaeological sites have been found at or near the Fall Line (Pickett 2001). Diagnostic markers of the Early
Archaic subperiod include a variety of side and corner notched projectile point types, including Hardaway, Kirk,
Palmer, Taylor, and Big Sandy, and later bifurcate base projectile point types such as Lecroy, McCorkle, and St.
Albans. Additional tools of the Early Archaic subperiod include end scrapers, side scrapers, gravers, microliths, and
adzes (Sassaman et al. 2002), and likely perishable items such as traps, snares, nets, and basketry. Direct evidence
of Early Archaic basketry and woven fiber bags was found at the Icehouse Bottom site in the mountains of eastern
Tennessee (Chapman and Adovasio 1977).
Middle Archaic (ca. 8000-5000 B.n
The beginning of the Middle Archaic subperiod coincides with the start of the Altithermal (a.k.a. Hypsithermal), a
significant warming trend where pine forests replaced the oak-hickory dominated forests that had previously been
common. Humans altered their behavior in response to changing environmental conditions (Sassaman and
Anderson 1995:10), It is assumed that population density increased during the Middle Archaic, but small hunting
and gathering bands probably still formed the primary social and economic units. Larger and more intensively
occupied sites tended to occur near rivers and numerous small, upland lithic scatters dot the interriverine
landscape. Subsistence was presumably based on a variety of resources such as white-tail deer, nuts, fish, and
migratory birds; however, shellfish do not seem to have been an important resource at this time.
During the Middle Archaic, ground stone tools such as axes, atlatl weights, and grinding stones become more
common, while flaked stone tool styles became less diverse and tended to be made of locally available raw
materials. The most common point type of the Middle Archaic subperiod in North Carolina is the Morrow
Mountain point, however, additional diagnostic point types include Stanly, Guilford, and Halifax (Blanton and
November 2022 11

Freshwater Reservoir and Emergency Basin
S%ftwl Mitchell County, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 213314
SHPO ER No. 22-2110
Sassaman 1989; Coe 1964).The Middle Archaic Stanly phase appears to have developed out of the preceding
phases and is the earliest clearly documented occupation at the stratified Doerschuk site (31 MG22) in
Montgomery County (Coe 1964; Phelps 1983).The major difference in the artifact assemblage seems to be the
addition of stone atlatl weights. The Morrow Mountain and Guilford phases also appear during this subperiod;
Coe (1964) considers these phases to be without local precedent,viewing them as western intrusions.
Late Archaic(ca. 5000-3000 B.P.)
The Late Archaic subperiod is marked by a number of key developments. There was an increased focus on riverine
locations and resources (e.g., shellfish), an adoption of small-scale horticulture, and the introduction of ceramic
and soapstone vessel technology.These changes developed because humans were living close to important
resources for longer periods of time.The Savannah River phase, which appears during this subperiod, is marked
by the presence of larger sites containing steatite bowls, human burials, and prepared hearths (Ward 1983). The
most common diagnostic biface of this subperiod is the Savannah River Stemmed projectile point (Coe 1964).
Other artifacts include soapstone cooking discs and netsinkers, shell tools, grooved axes,worked bone, and most
importantly fiber-tempered Stallings Island and sand-tempered Thom's Creek pottery.The type site for Thom's
Creek pottery is located just south of Columbia, South Carolina along the Congaree River (Griffin 1945).
Both Stallings Island and Thom's Creek pottery date to ca.4500-3000 B.P. and have a wide variety of exterior
surface treatments, including plain, punctated, and incised designs (Sassaman et al. 1990).Similar fiber-tempered
wares soon spread to North Carolina; however, these early fiber-tempered wares do not appear to be present in
the Appalachian Summit region. For several decades it was believed that fiber-tempered Stallings Island pottery
was the oldest pottery in the region (perhaps in the New World) and that sand-tempered Thom's Creek wares
appeared a few centuries later (Sassaman 1993). Recent work at several shell ring sites on the coast, however, has
demonstrated that the two types are contemporaneous,with Thom's Creek possibly predating Stallings Island
along the coast (Saunders and Russo 2002; Heide and Russo 2003; Russo and Heide 2003).
3.1.3 Woodland Period (ca. 3000-950 B.P.)
Like the preceding Archaic Period, the Woodland is conventionally divided into three subperiods—Early, Middle,
and Late—based on technological and social complexity and population increase. Among the changes that
occurred during this period was a widespread adoption of ceramic technology concomitant with an increased
reliance on native plant horticulture, as a result of a more sedentary lifestyle. Ceramics became more refined and
regionally differentiated, particularly with regard to temper.There was also an increase in sociopolitical and
religious interactions, as evidenced by an increased use of burial mounds, ceremonialism, and expanded trade
networks (Anderson and Mainfort 2002).
Early Woodland ca. 3000-1700 s.P.
The Early Woodland subperiod in the Appalachian Summit region is generally represented by the Swannanoa
phase. Swannanoa ceramics, which are akin to the Badin and Yadkin types of the Piedmont, were generally very
thick, had coarse crushed quartz or sand temper, and were predominantly cordmarked or fabric-impressed.
Stylistically, Swannanoa series ceramics are similar to Kellog ceramics from northern Georgia and Watts Bar
ceramics from eastern Tennessee. Representative projectile points include the small Swannanoa Stemmed and
Plott Stemmed types, which are also stratigraphically associated with the Transylvania Triangular point type (Keel
1976).

In the Appalachian Summit region, the Middle Woodland subperiod is characterized by the Pigeon (1750-1650
B.P.) and the Connestee phases (1750-1350 B.P.;Ward and Davis 1999). Pigeon phase ceramics were tempered with
crushed quartz, or, sometimes, crushed feldspar. They were predominantly check stamped, although plain,
brushed, and simple stamped surface decoration have been identified and sometimes had small, tetrapodal base
supports (Ward and Davis 1999:146-147). Diagnostic lithic artifacts of the Pigeon phase include the Camp Creek
and Copena Triangular points, Garden Creek point, and the Pigeon Side-Notched point (Keel 1976: 127-131,
Purrington 1983: 135). Other than this information, little is known about this phase, as it has not yet been
encountered in a stratified context (Ward and Davis 1999:146).
Ceramics of the subsequent Connestee phase were similar in design to those of the preceding Pigeon phase;
however, Connestee phase ceramics were sand-tempered (Ward and Davis 1999:151). Exterior surface decorations
include brushed, cordmarked, simple stamped, check stamped, fabric impressed, and plain (Keel 1976)_ Medium-
sized, isosceles triangular projectile points are diagnostic of the Connestee phase_ Hopewell cultural material (e_g_,
prismatic chert blades, rocker-stamped and incised ceramics, clay figurines, etc.) from the Ohio Valley does appear
in mortuary contexts in the Appalachian Summit region during the Connestee phase.
Late Woodland (ca. 1200.950 B.P.)
The Late Woodland subperiod in the Appalachian Summit region is poorly understood. Limited data from
excavations at the Cane Creek site indicate a regional self-sufficiency during a time of transition from the
Woodland Connestee phase to the abrupt appearance of the Southern Appalachian Mississippian tradition (Ward
and Davis 1999:158).
3.1.4 Mississippian Period (ca. 950 300 iu.)
The Southern Appalachian Mississippian Tradition is represented by two subperiods;the Pisgah Phase and the
Qualla Phase (Dickens 1976: 10). Fortified, permanent villages were built on floodplains of major streams during
this period. Mississippian villages were agricultural-based economies, with related secondary satellite sites
associated with hunting and other tasks located in upland and nonriverine settings. Platform mounds are a distinct
architectural feature of this time period, and burials are most often associated with dwellings (Ward and Davis
1999: 166).
Pisgah Phase ca. 950-500 s.n.
The Pisgah Phase consists of two discrete pottery characteristics that are distinctive from early and subsequent
pottery from the Appalachian Summit Region: rectilinear complicated-stamped exterior surface designs and
collared rims (Ward and Davis 1999: 166). Pisgah ceramics had a micaceous paste and were often tempered with
sand.They could also be tempered with crushed quartz, soapstone, or amphibolite. Other attributes of Pisgah
ceramics could include loop handles, notched rim strips, lugs, and castellations (Purrington 1983: 143)_
Lithic artifacts consist of isosceles Pisgah triangular points, microtools, gravers, perforators, drills, ground stone
,-Mop, celts, discoidals, and small discs. Shell artifacts associated with the Pisgah Phase include gorgets, ear pins, beads,
and dippers. Other stone and ceramic artifacts associated with this phase include pipes, discs, beads, animal-head
effigies, and miniature ceramic vessels (Purrington 1983: 142-144).

SHPO ER No. 22-2110 r�
Pisgah villages were composed of square or rectangular dwellings surrounded by stockade wails. Ceremonial
structures, such as earth lodges and fiat-topped ceremonial mounds, appear to be restricted to the southwestern
portion of the Appalachian Summit. Burials, usually flexed, are often found in mounds and house floors
(Purrington 1983: 144).
Qualla Phase (ca. 500-300 B.P.)
The Qualla Phase is thought to be a manifestation of the widespread Lamar culture of northern Georgia.The
Qualla phase appeared during the Late Mississippian subperiod and continued until the removal of the Cherokee
in 1838 and 1839 (Dickens 1976: 14-15; Purrington 1983: 148).The Qualla Phase has been further divided down
into the Early Qualla (500-300 B.P.) and the Late Qualla (300-112 B.P-) (Purrington 1983: 148).
There is continuity that can be easily identified between the architectural styles, artifact types, and habits of daily
life of the Pisgah and Qualla phases. However, diagnostic artifacts, community, and regional settlements vary from
the Pisgah to the subsequent Qualla (Purrington 1983: 149). Early Qualla settlements, the densest in western North
Carolina, were located close to each other and, unlike in Pisgah Villages, palisades surrounding Qualla settlements
have not been identified. The Qualla Phase in the Appalachian Summit region also marked a major occupational
shift from the eastern and central Appalachian Mountains to the western and southern mountains (Ward and
Davis 1999,179-180).
Early Qualla ceramics maintain the older Pisgah decorative traditions while also adopting the Lamar style found to
the south. Representative exterior surface designs include complex incised designs and complicated stamped
motifs. Other diagnostic artifacts associated with the Early Qualla include small triangular shaped projectile points
and small, thick serrated points. Other stone tools include scrapers, drills, and gunflints. Ground stone artifacts
include Celts, pipes, chunky stones, and pins with expanded heads (Dickens 1976: 14; Purrington 1983: 148).
3.1.5 Protohistoric Period (ca. 400-200 B.P.)
The Protohistoric Period refers to the first contact between Native Americans and Europeans. In the Appalachian
Summit region, contact occurred between A.D. 1700 and 1838. The De Soto expedition, which embarked from
Florida in 1539, arrived near present-day Hickory in Catawba County in the spring of 1540. The subsequent De
Pardo expedition traversed South Carolina, western North Carolina, and eastern Tennessee from 1566 to 1568.The
exact routes of these expeditions are still under debate. By the time of European exploration, the current project
area falls within land occupied by the Cherokee Indians.
The Protohistoric Period is represented in the Appalachian Summit region by the Late Qualla (ca.250-112 B.P.).
Late Qualla pottery exhibits curvilinear and rectilinear designs; although bolder in form, designs were cruder in
comparison to exterior surface finishes on earlier Qualla wares. Stylistic features of vessels included globularjars
with broad shoulders and out-flaring rims, often folded, creating the appearance of a rolled lip (Ward and Davis
1999:268).
It is during this period that European manufactured items begin to appear in the archaeological record alongside
indigenous artifacts. European artifacts included copper kettles, iron tools and utensils, glass trade beads, glass
bottles, and guns. Architecture during this period also began to change, as habitations transitioned from
aboriginal style dwellings to European-style cabins. Ceremonial and civic structures, however, remained

unchanged through the end of this period. Settlement patterns also changed during the eighteenth century;
where there were once nucleated towns, settlements began to shift towards loosely grouped houses, and
eventually moved to individual homesteads.
The Cherokee people, from 1650 on, depended increasingly on trade with the new European settlers and were
involved with European-American politics and wars.The changes seen in Late Qualla artifact assemblages and
living arrangements came as the result of acculturation of the Cherokee to Euro-American customs. This ultimately
ended with the erosion of religious, social, and political systems of the Cherokee (Dickens 1976: 15).
3.2 Historic Context
The project area is located in southeast Mitchell County, roughly 0.7-mile south of Spruce Pine, North Carolina.
3.2.1 Early Settlement
During the earliest period of European settlement in the Carolina colony, which originally included both North and
South Carolina, King Charles II granted large landholdings to the supporters who had helped return him to his
throne, including the eight original Lords Proprietors of the Carolina colony. From 1663 to 1729, the Carolina
colonies remained under the control of the proprietors and settlements were primarily along the coast. Following
disputes with neighboring colonies, the Tuscarora, and pirates, in addition to the establishment of South Carolina
as a separate, royal colony in 1719, the heirs of seven of the eight proprietors sold their property shares back to
the British crown in 1729. Following the American Revolution, under the Act of Confiscation, the property of the
Granville tract, the lands of the single remaining proprietor, was annexed to the United States (Powell 1989; Bishir
et al. 1999).
During the early eighteenth century, the interior of North Carolina was sparsely populated, as much of the
territory was still claimed by Native Americans (Alexander 1956:19). The valuable animal pelts that were available
in the wilderness areas, however, attracted hunters and fur traders to the remote regions, making them some of
the earliest white residents in the backcountry. Increased immigration to the colony and dwindling amount of
coastal land, combined with the desire of some settlers to reside far away from government controls, led to
increased population in the western part of North Carolina, near the Blue Ridge Mountains. By the 1750s, colonists
had begun encroaching on Cherokee Territory in the western part of both North and South Carolina, with many
settlers of English, German, and Scottish descent laying down roots in the area_ Feeling threatened by the
westward settlement, Native American groups began attacking colonial settlers on the western frontier, leading to
increased tensions in the area (Helsley and Jones 2007; Powell 1989).
Families settled in the land that would become Western North Carolina as early as the 1740s and the territorial
expansion only increased over the next four decades; many settlers came from the South Carolina Piedmont
following the French and Indian War, while others traveled south from Pennsylvania after the Whiskey Rebellion. A
large number of these 1760s and 1770s settlements violated the Proclamation of 1763, which established the
official western boundary for settlement at the Appalachian Mountains, reserving the territory to the west for
Native Americans. In response, Governor William Tryon commissioned a survey in 1767, aiming to establish a new
boundary line,which placed territory to the west of present-day Polk County, including the project area, in
lk" 1 Cherokee possession (Arthur 1914:61, 67, 248; Helsley and Jones 2007).

During the 1770s, there was growing unrest along the coast against British rule, but many residents of the
backcountry remained generally supportive of the British, resulting in divided individual loyalties in western North
Carolina (Arthur 1914). In 1775, the state of North Carolina organized a Committee of Safety to report disloyal acts
to the government; many Loyalists moved westward to avoid prosecution and escape Regulators, increasing the
population along the western frontier(Helsiey and Jones 2007).When the colonies declared their independence
from England, there was little immediate effect in the western region of the state (Arthur 1914: 97, 101; Bishir et al.
1999).
The Cherokee had remained loyal to the British, with the hope that defeat of the colonies would serve to slow the
increasing westward expansion of the settlers into lands held by the Native Americans.A number of backcountry
forts were established in the early to mid-1770s to provide protection for the settlers near the frontier, including
Potts Fort, located near Lake Lure, southeast of present-day Asheville. Skirmishes with the Cherokee and British
were common in western North Carolina, including the June 1776 Patriot rout of celebrating Cherokee forces at
Round Mountain (also known as Howard's Gap), located northwest of Tryon. Additionally, a number of western
North Carolina residents joined the Mountain Volunteers, who participated in the battle of Kings Mountain, one of
the important American victories in the Southern campaign during 1780, and Patriot forces led three major
expeditions against the Cherokee during the war, effectively increasing the safety of the area (Arthur 1914;
Dykeman 1965).
�.,. The 1785 Hopewell Treaty was the first treaty signed by the Cherokee with the federal government, and it
surrendered Cherokee land east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Settlers of Scots Irish, English, German, Welsh, and
French descent began moving to the area, with settlement focusing on the rivers and creeks that dotted the
landscape, as they were important resources for transportation and food. The earliest land grants were given
during the 1770s, but the grants began in earnest in the 1780s,with many former Revolutionary War soldiers from
both armies, including Abraham Kuykendall,William Davis, John Jones,John Peter Corn, and Elizah Williamson,
claiming territory in the area, as well as hundreds of thousands of acres being purchased by land speculations
(Corbitt 1950:38; Helsley and Jones 2007:20).
3.2.2 Antebellum Period and Civil War
The turn of the nineteenth century saw huge growth and overpopulation in the coastal region, but the
mountainous region of the project area, due to the rough terrain, was fairly isolated for decades.Trade was sparse
and religion and government was nominal; families in the region provided enough food to subsist and owning
slaves was financially unfeasible for most. With no proper political representation due to legislative apathy for a
region so remote and far removed, protests ensued and movements called the Regulation were formed. People,
sick of corrupt and apathetic local government, took the law into their own hands in the form a vigilantism; this
became known as mountain justice.
The growth of western North Carolina was spurred by the completion of the Buncombe Turnpike in 1827. The
120-mile road started in Greenville, South Carolina and ended in Greenville, Tennessee. It simplified the difficult
trip through the mountains, provided new connections between regional markets, and boosted both the area's
population and economy. Asheville, the halfway point, grew to be an important stop; stagecoaches, merchants,
farmers, and cattle drivers all used the road to travel and conduct business. Overland travel, while easier than
before the turnpike was completed,was still difficult in the early 1800s, so export of agricultural products was
limited (Arthur 1914:182). Cattle production was a major economic force in the region.

After South Carolina declared its intention to secede from the Union, in December 1860, North Carolina was
forced to make a decision. Although the counties of rural western North Carolina were generally against North
Carolina's secession, both politicians and citizens supported the state after it declared war and joined the
Confederacy.
Although there was no official war activity in the mountains of North Carolina until 1865, this area was often used
as a safe stronghold for Confederate deserters and Union sympathizers.With the fall of eastern Tennessee to the
Union, North Carolina increased its protection forces in the western mountain regions. Beginning in March 1865,
the Union forces sought to finally subdue the Confederacy and Major General George Stoneman began his march
to Lynchburg, Virginia through western North Carolina (Van Noppen and Van Noppen 1973:8-10).After
destroying the railroad link between Virginia and Tennessee, General Stoneman's men returned to North Carolina,
eventually arriving in the area in April 1865. On April 6, Colonel George Wesley Clayton's Confederate defenders
withheld five hours of barrage by Union troops to retain Asheville, although the victory was short lived. On April
22, a brigade under General Alvan Gillem rode through Columbus on its way to Asheville, during his capture of
Asheville, General Stoneman stationed troops in Hendersonville, south of Asheville. In the months that followed
this occupation, regular Union forces, as well as bands of criminals and Confederate deserters, raided and
terrorized residents in the surrounding counties (Van Noppen and Van Noppen 1973:11-12; Fain 1980.59).
3.2.3 Mitchell County and Spruce Pine
Mitchell County was formed in 1861 from portions of Yancey,Watauga, Caldwell, Burke, and McDowell counties. It
was named in honor of Professor Elisha Mitchell of the University of North Carolina who died while exploring a
peak in the Black Mountains, which is now named Mt. Mitchell in his honor. Bakersville is the county seat and was
incorporated in 1870 (Corbitt 1950). Characterized by"a prolonged pioneering period, isolation due to
inaccessibility," and a primarily agricultural society, the county's main resource was mining and mineral processing
(Sharpe 1954).Over 50 varieties of gems and other raw minerals have been found and mined in the region.
In association with mining and mineral processing, the Penland School of Crafts was founded in the 1920s.
Originally a school to train women in the arts, the school grew in popularity and for over 30 years craftsmen from
around the world would come to learn the art of silversmithing, pottery, metal working, woodworking,
glassblowing, and other crafts. In addition to its academic importance, the school attracts tourist that view the
school's gallery and purchase the art produced by Penland students. Another tourist attraction in Mitchell County
is the Pisgah National Forest. With hundreds of acres within Mitchell County alone, hikers, campers, and other
outdoorsmen and women travel to experience the beautiful mountains.
Spruce Pine was given its name in 1859 and incorporated in 1907. The community started with The English Inn, a
tavern and in that was built at the crossroads for Marion to Bakersfield and Burnsville to Cranberry Roads.The
exact date of its construction is unknown, but the inn was purchased by Isaac English in the mid-1800s.The small
hamlet surrounding the inn began to grow and the need for a post office arose; Mrs.Alice English named the new
post office Spruce Pine after the trees she admired.The inn was the center of the community for over 200 years
and has hidden escaped Union soldiers, been witness to the founding of the English Mica Company and the
different mining endeavors throughout the region, and was the first school location in Spruce Pine that housed
the students during the week.

The incorporation of Spruce Pine occurred when the Clinchfield Railroad made its way up the Toe River Valley
from Erwin, Tennessee.The railroad and the rapidly expanding mining business made Spruce Pine a hub of
commerce and culture for the area. The town was home to The Feldspar Company and Spruce Pine Mica. With the
decline in use of railroad to transport goods and the increasing automation of the mining industry, Spruce Pine
has felt an economic blow and it working to reinvent itself as a tourist area. With its proximity to the Blue Ridge
Parkway and it location near the edge of the Blue Ridge Escarpment, Spruce Pine is becoming a travel destination.
3.3 Previously Recorded Sites in the Vicinity of Project Area
A background literature review and record search was conducted in October 2022.The records examined at the
OSA included GIS files and site forms for archaeological sites within a one-mile search radius of the project area,
as well as copies of the reports that cover portions of the current project corridor.There are no previously
recorded aboveground resources within or adjacent to the project area therefore the HPOWEB data is not
included on the map and is not discussed below.
A review of the information from the OSA indicated there is one archaeological site and five previously conducted
surveys within a one-mile radius of the project area (Figure 3.1). The archaeological site, 31 ML102, is a prehistoric
lithic scatter that was considered not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP; the site is not within or adjacent to the
current project area. One of the surreys corresponds to the current survey area and none of the other previously
completed survey areas cover a portion of the current project area.
As part of the background research, the Price-Strother (1808) map; the McRae-Brazier (1833) map; the Kerr-Cain
(1882) map; a 1900 railway map; North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) maps from 1938, 1953,
and 1968; and United States Geological Survey(USGS) topographic maps from 1934, 1960, and 1990 were
examined. The Price-Strother map shows the project area within Buncombe County and an unnamed roadway
nearby;the area is depicted as uninhabited (figure 3.2). The McRae-Brazier map shows the project area within
Burke County,with an unnamed road in the vicinity of the project area, and the area is depicted as uninhabited
with a few post offices in the distance to the west and south (Figure 3.3). The Kerr-Cain map shows that Mitchell
County had been established and the project area is east of roadway junction; and the community of Flat Rock is
to the northwest of the project area (Figure 3.4).
The 1900 railroad map shows one established rail line in the northeast portion of Mitchell County; a proposed rail
line is depicted in the vicinity of the project area (Figure 3.5). The USGS topographic map from 1934 shows Spruce
Pine to the north of the project area, one structure and a few unimproved roadways within the project area; two
structures are depicted along the project boundary or adjacent to the project boundary (Figure 3.6). The 1938 and
1953 NCDOT maps show little detail in the vicinity of the project area, but do show Spruce Pine and the increased
infrastructure and population surrounding the project area and town (Figures 3.7 and 3.8). The USGS topographic
map from 1960 show two structures in the southern portion of the project area, a dirt road in the eastern portion,
a jeep road in the central portion, and a pond in the southeast section; the northern parcel remains uninhabited
and at the end of the roadway near the railroad (Figure 3.9). The 1968 NCDOT map shows very little detail in and
around the project area (Figure 3.10).The USGS topographic map from 1990 shows that only one structure
remains in the southernmost corner of the project area (Figure 3.11).

three days on the project. This work included an archaeological survey of the two noncontiguous areas totaling
59.01 acres.Approximately 33.48 acres was shovel tested at 20-m intervals; approximately 11.21 acres was
pedestrian survey along with judgmental shovel testing due to its low probability for containing archaeological
sites; approximately 14.32 acres was not surveyed due to standing water, excessive slope, or excessive disturbance
(Figure 4.1).
Shovel tests were at least 30 cm in diameter and excavated to sterile subsoil or at least 80 cm below surface
(cmbs),whichever was encountered first.Soil from shovel tests was screened though 1/4-inch wire mesh and soil
colors were determined through comparison with Munsell Soil Color Charts. Sites were located using a GPS unit
and plotted on USGS 7.5-minute topographic maps. Artifacts recovered during the survey were organized and
bagged by site and relative provenience within each site.
Site boundaries were determined by excavating shovel tests at 5-m intervals from positive shovel tests or surface
finds at the perimeter of each site_ Sites were recorded in the field using field journals and standard S&ME site
forms and documented using digital photography and detailed site maps. State site forms were completed for
new archaeological sites and submitted to OSA once fieldwork was complete.
4.2 Laboratory Methods
With fieldwork complete, recovered artifacts were cleaned, sorted, analyzed, and labeled, at the S&ME laboratory
in Columbia, South Carolina.Artifacts were analyzed by provenience unit and classified into raw material,
technological, and functional categories based on accepted southeastern typologies and artifact classifications
used in the project vicinity.
Lithic artifacts were initially identified as either debitage (flakes and shatter) or tools. Debitage was sorted by raw
material type and size graded using the mass analysis method advocated by Ahler(1989). When present, formal
tools were classified by type, and metric attributes (e.g., length,width, and thickness) were recorded for each
unbroken tool. Projectile point typology generally follows that outlined by Coe (1964) and Justice (1987).
Historic artifacts were separated by material type and then further sorted into functional groups. For example,
historic ceramics were sorted into coarse earthenware, refined earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, colonoware, or
pipe. Glaze, slip, maker's marks, and/or decorations were noted to ascertain chronological attributes using
established references for historic materials, including Noel Hume (1969), South (1976), and Miller(1991).The
artifacts, field notes, maps, photographs, and other technical materials generated as a result of this project will be
temporarily curated at the S&ME office in Columbia, South Carolina and either returned to the landowners or
permanently curated at the OSA Research Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

4.3 National Register Eligibility Assessment
For a property to be considered eligible for the NRHP it must retain integrity of location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling, and association (National Register Bulletin 15:2). In addition, properties must meet one or
more of the criteria below:
are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our
history; or
are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent
the work of a master, or possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable
entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
have yielded or may be likely to yield information important in history or prehistory.
The most frequently used criterion for assessing the significance of an archaeological site is Criterion D, although
other criteria were considered where appropriate. For an archaeological site to be considered significant, it must
have potential to add to the understanding of the area's history or prehistory.A commonly used standard to
determine a site's research potential is based on a number of physical characteristics including variety, quantity,
integrity, clarity, and environmental context (Glassow 1977).All of these factors were considered in assessing a
�.r site's potential for inclusion in the NRHP.

5.0 Results
An archaeological survey was conducted on the approximately 59.01-acre proposed project area, which is made
up of two noncontiguous areas. The larger area is roughly 58.3 acres and located northeast of NC Highway 226
and south of a portion of the North Toe River and the smaller is approximately 0.71-acre and is located north of
the North Toe River and southwest of Altapass Highway along a railroad corridor(Figures 1.1 and 1.2).Vegetation
in the larger project area consists of wooded areas and secondary growth; disturbances in the project area include
dirt roads, a dam, graded areas, and push piles; areas of standing water, steep slope over 25 percent, and large
rock outcrops were also within the project area (Figures 2.1-2.10 and 5.1 through 5.10). Based on aerial imagery,
the smaller portion of the project area was mainly wooded in the 1950s, by the 1960s portions of the project area
had been cleared and by the 1980s and 1990s, the entirety of the project area had been cleared and disturbed by
ongoing activities associated with the industry adjacent to the area (Figure 5.11-5.15). During the archaeological
survey, a total of 301 shovel tests were excavated, ranging from 10-80 cm deep.
Approximately 33.48 acres was shovel tested at 20-m intervals; approximately 11.21 acres was pedestrian survey
along with judgmental shovel testing due to its low probability for containing archaeological sites; approximately
14.32 acres was not surveyed due to standing water, excessive slope, or excessive disturbance (Figure 4.1).
There were six typical soil profiles encountered during the survey: Two transitioned from plow zone to subsoil and
consisted of either approximately 35 cm of very pale brown (10YR 8/4) sandy loam followed by 10+ cm (35-45
cmbs) of yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) sandy clay subsoil (Figure 5.16) or approximately 15 cm of light reddish
brown (2.5YR 6/4) silty loam terminating with 10+ cm (25-35 cmbs) of light red (2.5YR 6/8) silty clay subsoil
(Figure 5.17); one was identified in wet areas and consisted of approximately 20 cm of very pale brown (10YR 8/3)
sand followed by 10+ cm (20-30+ cmbs) of mottled white (10YR 8/1) and very pale brown (10YR 7/4)wet sand
(Figure 5.18); one ended at degrading rock and consisted of about 10 cm of brown (10YR 5/3) sand followed by
15+ cm (10-25+ cmbs) of mottled white (10YR 8/1) and very pale brown (10YR 7/4) degrading rock (Figure 5.19);
two terminated at various impasses and consisted of rock at the surface (Figure 5.20) or approximately 35+ cm of
very pale brown (10YR 7/4) sandy loam terminating at a rock impasse (Figure 5.21).
During the investigation one newly recorded archaeological sites (31 ML107)was identified and recorded, the site
is discussed in greater detail below.

Figure 5.23. Overview of site 31ML107,facing east.
A total of 26 shovel tests were excavated at the site.A typical soil profile consisted of approximately 45 cm of
brown (10YR 4/3) sandy loam followed by 10+ cm (45-55+ cmbs) of strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) sandy clay subsoil
(Figure 5.24). A total of 11 historic artifacts were recovered from 0-25 cmbs in three shovel tests. The artifacts
recovered from the site included of two pieces of clear glass, one piece of plain whiteware, three pieces of metal
wire, three pieces of metal chain, and two pieces of unidentifiable iron (Appendix B).The plain whiteware dates
from 1815 to the present and the metal wire dates from 1831 to the present.
In addition to the artifacts, a partially collapsed brick and fieldstone chimney along with the remains of a field
stone wall within eastern portion of the site were noted (Figures 5.25 and 5.26). Glass jars and an old washing
machine were noted within the boundaries of the site as well (Figure 5.27). A structure is depicted at this location
on the topographic maps from 1934 through 1990 (Figures 3.6, 3.9, and 3.11) and appears on Google Earth
imagery in 1994 and is no longer extent by the time the 1998 image is taken (Figures 5.28 and 5.29).
Site 31ML107 is a nineteenth to twentieth century house site with little remaining integrity.The structure has been
demolished and very little of the material culture remains to provide insight into the occupants' lifeways. Based on
the information presented, it is S&ME's opinion that the site is not associated with events that have made a
significant contribution to the broad patterns of history (Criterion A); is not associated with the lives of significant
persons in the past (Criterion B); does not embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or methods of
construction, represent the work of a master, possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and
distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction (Criterion C);and is unlikely to yield
significant information on the history of the area (Criterion D). As such, site 31ML107 is recommended ineligible
for inclusion in the NRHP.

6.0 Summary and Recommendations
On behalf of Quartz Corp, S&ME has completed an archaeological survey for the proposed freshwater reservoir
and emergency basin located roughly 0.7-mile south of Spruce Pine, Mitchell County, !North Carolina (Figures 1.1
and 1.2).The project area is made up of two noncontiguous areas, one is roughly 58.3 acres and location
northeast of NC Highway 226 and south of a portion of the North Toe River and the other is approximately 0.71-
acre and is located north of the North Toe River and southwest of Altapass Highway along a railroad corridor.
In a letter dated September 9, 2022, in response to a scoping letter submitted by S&ME, the SHPO requested that
a comprehensive archaeological survey be conducted in high probability areas that contain slope less than or
equal to 25 percent as well as a pedestrian reconnaissance in steeper area to record potential rock shelters or
historic quarry sites (Appendix A).The SHPO letter also stated that the project will have no effect on historic
structures and an architectural survey was not needed for this project. In email correspondence between Kimberly
Nagle with S&ME and Dylan Clark with the OSA, dated August 23, 2022, Ms. Nagle provided a map showing the
high probability areas that were to be systematically shovel tested due to the high probability for containing
archaeological sites. Mr. Clark agreed with the areas to be investigated on the map and the following field
methods were agreed upon:
Shovel testing at 30-m intervals with transects spaced 30-m apart; 20-m intervals should be used if
`r✓ time allowed.
If sites are identified, radial shovel tests will be excavated at 15-m intervals; 5-m intervals should be
used if time allowed.
Judgmental shovel tests would be placed in areas to verify the disturbed or poorly drained nature of
the soils;disturbances would be photographed.
The remaining portions of the project area would be pedestrian surveyed looking for rockshelters,
quarry sites, or artifacts on the ground surface.
The following work was conducted in response to the SHPO letter and the presented field methods and was
carried out in general accordance with the agreed-upon scope, terms, and conditions presented in S&ME
Proposal No. 213314 PCR002, dated October 6, 2022. The APE for direct effects for the proposed undertaking is
the footprint of the project area; indirect effects were not assessed as SHPO determined that the project would
have no effect on historic structures.
Based on the accepted approach to fieldwork outlined above, approximately 33.48 acres was shovel tested at 20-
m intervals; approximately 11.21 acres was pedestrian surveyed along with judgmental shovel testing due to its
low probability for containing archaeological sites; approximately 14.32 acres was not surveyed due to standing
water, excessive slope, or excessive disturbance (Figure 4.1). Fieldwork for the project was conducted from
October 26 through 28, 2022; specifically, three people worked for three days on the project.
As a result of the investigations, one new archaeological site (31 ML107) was identified and recorded. Site
31ML107 is a nineteenth through twentieth century house site and is recommended not eligible for inclusion in
the NRHP (Figures 1.1 and 1.2). It is the opinion ofS&ME that no additional archaeological work is necessary for
the project area. If the project area changes additional cultural resource work may be necessary.

Re: Construct Freshwater Reservoir, Emergency Basin and Lay Down Area, Mitchell County,
ER 22-2110
Dear Ms. Sims:
Thank you for your letter of August 23, 2022, regarding the above-referenced undertaking. We have
reviewed the submission and offer the following comments:
The area of potential effects (APE) for the proposed undertaking between the North Toe River and Grassy
Creek is in an area with a high potential for cultural resources that has not been systematically surveyed
before. We recommend a comprehensive archaeological survey be conducted prior to the initiation of any
ground disturbing activities in portions of the APE with 25% or less slope. Pedestrian reconnaissance
should also be conducted in steeper areas to record any potential rock shelters or historic quarry sites.
The purpose of the survey is to identify any archaeological sites and to make recommendations regarding
their eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The survey should be
conducted by an experienced archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior Professional
Qualifications. A list of archaeological consultants, who have conducted or expressed an interest in
contract work in North Carolina is available at h!tps:Harchaeolog .ny cdcr.gov/archaeological-consultant-list.
The archaeologists listed, or any other experienced archaeologist, may be contracted to conduct the
recommended survey. Our office requests that your consultant meet with the Office of State
Archaeology Review Archaeologist to discuss appropriate field methodologies prior to the field
investigation.
One paper copy and one digital copy(PDF) of all resulting archaeological reports, as well as a digital copy
(PDF) of the North Carolina Site Form for each site recorded, should be forwarded to the Office of State
Archaeology (OSA)through this office for review and comment, as soon as they are available and in
advance of any construction activities. OSA's Archaeological Standards and Guidelines for Background
Research, Field Methodologies, Technical Reports, and Curation can be found online at:

S&ME Project No. 213314
Dear Mr. Guffey:
S&ME is pleased to submit this NCDOT Street and Driveway Access Permit Application for the Freshwater
Reservoir and Emergency Basin on behalf of The Quartz Corp USA (Quartz Corp). Quartz Corp is proposing to
install a new freshwater reservoir at their Spruce Pine Facility which will require driveway access along NC-226
(South 226 HWY). The proposed driveway access and area are depicted on the associated electronic file
(NC DOTNUM B ER_Plan 1_213314_20220830).
Project Description
Construction will involve the installation of a proposed driveway along NC-226 (South 226 HWY). The proposed
driveway access is located approximately 1,500 linear feet from the intersection of Carters Ridge Road (SR-1 117)
and South 226 HWY (NC-226).
There are no anticipated conflicts with other utilities at this time.

Good morning,
We have checked the sight ditance in the field and have determined a driveway access can be permitted at the location
noted on the map. Depending on what type of business will be on the property, NCDOT may require a require a trun
lane to be provided for access. In addition, NC 226 is scheduled to be widened in this area with right of way acquisition
beginning in 2029 under TIP R-5804.

OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this calculation report is to design a culvert and energy dissipation system at the new entrance
road for the proposed modification to the Quartz Corp. USA Mining Permit No.61-16 for the facility in Mitchell
County, North Carolina.
SUMMARY:
The proposed culvert and dissipator design are in accordance with the design criteria presented in the North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality(NCDEQ) Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design
Manual [Ref. 71.

S&ME Project No. 213314
CALCULATIONS
S&ME applied the methodologies and approaches described within Section one (1.0) to calculate the peak run-off
flow capacity for the unnamed tributary to Grassy Creek at the proposed culvert location in accordance with the
proposed entrance road.
The culvert design was evaluated to determine culvert dimensions necessary to pass the calculated peak run-off
flow capacity for the design storm event. In parallel with the culvert design, a riprap energy dissipater was
designed to handle the peak outflows from the culvert. The riprap energy dissipator design included the
determination of the dissipater footprint and necessary riprap size/class.
1.0 Culvert Design
The proposed culvert has a maximum drainage area of 59.8 acres. The proposed culvert will be constructed in an
unnamed tributary to Grassy Creek. The approximate location of where the culvert is to be constructed is
approximately 550 linear feet upstream of the confluence with Grassy Creek.
1.1 Culvert Hydrology
The HydroCAD@ stormwater modeling software was utilized to calculate the runoff volume for the design storm
in the unnamed tributary at the location of the proposed culvert. S&ME utilized HydroCADS to apply the SCS
Curve Number Method, specifically the SCS TR-20 event simulation model for the representative drainage area_
The curve number (CN) is an empirical parameter developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) from hydrology evaluations, soil type, and surface conditions to predict direct runoff volume from a rainfall
event. NRCS Technical Release 55 (TR-55) Table 2-2 [Ref. 3] was used to select the CN value for each cover type,
or surface condition, for the representative drainage area. Due to the variable Hydrologic Soil Groups (HSG)
referenced in the NRCS Web Soil Survey [Ref. 3], S&ME applied HSG "B" as a constant on-site soil type for the
representative drainage area. HSG "B"was the most prevalent Hydrologic Soil Group for the site.
The time of concentration is the time for flow from the most hydrologically remote point in the contributing
drainage area to leave the watershed.The minimum allowable time of concentration for use in TR-55 is 0.1 hours,
or 6 minutes. A time of concentration was manually computed for the representative watershed.
Since the project site is located in Mitchell County, a non-coastal county, a SCS Type-II rainfall distribution will be
utilized.The duration of these storms will be 24-hours. Rainfall data was obtained from NOAA Precipitation
Frequency Estimates [Ref.2].
Woods/grass was selected as the land use for the representative area. Table 1, shown below, highlights the CN for
the selected land use [Ref. 1] considering the soil conditions [Ref. 3].The 100-yr. storm event was utilized to
evaluate site conditions.

The culvert will be designed to pass the peak flow of a 100-yr. storm event (257.29 cfs).
1.2 Culvert Capacity
The culvert design was evaluated, in the sections below, to determine culvert dimensions, the dimensions are
presented in Table 2.
The culvert capacity was evaluated using HydroCAD [Ref. 41. The dimensions of the culvert design were
determined based on the culvert capacity to pass the 100-yr, design storm.
�. The culverts failure mode of concern is road overtopping. The culvert design was evaluated with a minimum cover
depth of 2-ft., as listed in Table 2. Any culvert with a cover depth less than 2-ft. has an increased risk of failure due
to overtopping.
The Manning's roughness, "n" for the culvert design is shown in Table 2.

handle the peak flow (Table 3) for the hydraulic conditions found on site.

In parallel with the culvert design a riprap energy dissipater was designed to prevent the outflow from the culvert
from scouring the existing stream channel bed. The NCDEQ Riprap Energy Dissipater Nomograph Figure 8.06a

t Precipitation frequency(PF)estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series(PDS).
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90%confidence interval.The probability that precipitation frequency estimates
(for a given duration and average recurrence interval)will be greater than the upper bound(or less than the lower bound)is 5%.Estimates at upper bounds
are not checked against probable maximum precipitation(PMP)estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values.

Hydrologic Soil Group—Mitchell County, North Carolina Bottomless Culvert DA
Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive
precipitation from long-duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D)and
three dual classes (AID, BID, and CID). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential)when
thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water
transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These sails have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (AID, BID, or CID), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

Temporary Holding Basin Volume Calculation
Mining Modification Permit No. 61-16
\%EW The Quartz Corp. USA 117
Mitchell County, North Carolina 7
S&ME Project No. 213314
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this calculation report is to evaluate the proposed temporary holding basin volume, and flow
rates into and out of the temporary holding basin.
SUMMARY:
The storage capacity of the proposed temporary holding basin was evaluated for a range of inflow and outflow
pumping scenarios.
CALCULATIONS
The plant periodically needs to shut down the wastewater treatment system for maintenance. The temporary
holding basin will be a double-lined facility that will temporarily store wastewater, allowing the plant to maintain
operations during wastewater treatment system maintenance.The liquids in the temporary holding basin will be
pumped to the existing wastewater treatment system when the system becomes operational after completion of
maintenance activities.
The temporary holding basin has an operating volume of 715,000 gallons not including freeboard. Several
pumping scenarios were evaluated on a flow rate basis as summarized in the following table:

SIC code 1459
Dear Mr. Young:
Enclosed with this letter are copies of the draft NPDES permit renewals for your facilities. Please review
the drafts carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions they contain.
There are several changes from existing permits, including the following:
• The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standards (WQS)Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Committee(EMC)on November 13, 2014. The US EPA
subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions. The NC
Division of Water Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement the new dissolved
metal standards in all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016. The new standards for most
metals include acute standards. Further,the freshwater standards for several metals are expressed
as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness-dependent equations.As a
result,the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site-specific effluent hardness data and instream
hardness data,upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring these metals in order to
calculate permit limitations. Effluent hardness and instreamn hardness sampling,upstream of the
discharge,has been added to each permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly, See Special
Condition A. (1.)Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements for effluent and instream
sampling requirements.
• Sampling by the EPA in 2015 and stormwater monitoring data from several quartz/feldspar mines
in the region, in conjunction with the new dissolved metals standards noted above, indicates
aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc are pollutants of concern and quarterly monitoring has
been added to the permits.
• The NPDES Standard Conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) are not included with this draft. They can
be found at the following link if you would like to review them in conjunction with this draft permit.

• Since your facilities are not subject to Federal Effluent Limitation Guidlelines,pH limits have been
changed from between 6.0& 10.0 standard units to between 6.0&9.0 standard units in accordance
with the pH WQS in 15A NCAC 02B. [See Special Condition A. (1.)]
• Please review the components list for each facility on page two,Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet.
• Please review instream monitoring locations in footnote 2 of Special Condition A. (1.) Effluent
Limitations and Monitoring Requirements.
• NC DEMLR will be evaluating stormwater data and may direct your facilities to apply for
individual NPDES wastewater coverage in lieu of stormwater general permit coverage under
NCG020000 prior to the expiration of that general permit. If that is the case, please be reminded
that DWR will require a major modification application and associated fee along with an
Engineering Alternatives Analysis for each facility at least 180 days prior to commencing discharge
of wastewater previously covered under NCG020000. Any additional discharge of fluoride must
be accounted for in a facility's fluoride allocation.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports(DMRs)and
program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data electronically
using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)internet application has
been added to your NPDES permit. [See the final Special Condition in each permit]
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having circulation in
the general Mitchell County area,soliciting public comments on these draft permits.Please provide any
written comments you may have to the following:NCDEQ/DWR,NPDES Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail
Service Center,Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 no later than 30 days after receipt of this draft permit.
Following the 30-day public comment period,the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing final permits.If you have questions concerning these draft permits,
please call me at(919)707-3612 or by email at [e-mail].
