The proposed area is located in the northeast corner of the property, just north of the existing tenant site utilized as an asphalt plant. The proposed site is located on a parcel already zoned for a concrete plant. The Mining and Erosion Control Plan for this subject area was previously approved on May 21, 2010 by the Land Quality Section. The existing mine permitted acres will remain at 233.9 acres, and the 6 acres will be removed from the "Other— buffers, wetlands, etc" category, and then, added to the "Other affected acreage—Asphalt Plant, Concrete Plant, etc" category. All other affected and mine permitted acreage categories will remain the same. The land is already mine permitted, so notifications are not required, and erosion controls were previously approved. To facilitate traffic without affecting the existing quarry and asphalt plant traffic, it will be necessary to install a driveway from Ponderosa Service Road. Due to the location of the visual screen berm that was previously installed to screen the existing asphalt plant and future concrete plant, it will be necessary to install the entrance road within the existing undisturbed buffer. Hanson requests that it be mine permitted to install the entrance road within the undisturbed buffer, between the existing vegetated berm and the existing white fence that runs close to the property line. On the north side of the white fence, a fenced-in wooded area exists, mainly on our neighbor's property, so screening already exists. To further screen the entrance road activity and provide aesthetics, a row of shrubs will be planted between the proposed entrance road and the white fence. Please see M&EC-2 Mine Map. The USACE and the DWR have been out to the site, and the proposed concrete plant will not cause any impacts. The findings are included with this application. Existing Pond 2 "dug in uplands" was found to be non-jurisdictional, and it has since been allowed to drain with vegetation already established. It was located just outside of the proposed concrete plant project area. Pending mine permit modification approval, the perspective tenant will submit a Wake County site plan and the NCDOT driveway permit concurrently to each respective agency. Upon approval of the Hanson mine permit modification, included with the Wake County site plan submittal, the prospective tenant will need to install erosion and sediment controls as necessary to operate a concrete plant. The prospective tenant will also prepare and submit a Notice of Intent to secure an NCG140000 Stormwater Permit for Ready Mix Plants. The prospective tenant's stormwater outfall will be controlled and monitored upstream from the previously approved Hanson A-4 Pipe w/ Energy Dissipater. A complete set of mine maps has been included to reflect the attached mine permit modification application. Enclosed please find the following: - 1 (one) original mine application cover letter and 5 (five) copies - 1 (one) original mine application, project description, and 5 (five) copies - 1 (one) original set of mine and reclamation plans and 5 (five) copies - 6 copies of the USACE SAW-2019-01933 Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination - 6 copies of the DWR RRO #19-249 stream calls (already on file) - 1 (one) Check No. 100002 for $750.00 mine permit modification processing fee Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at our Raleigh office: (919) 380-2746, Jack.GarveytccD-Iehighhanson.com , and you may also contact our contracted engineer, Ryan Fisher: (252) 813-3278, rfish er(a-)with ers rave ne 1.co m .

The future concrete plant is schematically drawn on the included permit modification plans. The final site plan for the concrete plant would be established by the end-user and would require approval by the local jurisdiction prior to any construction. Industrial stormwater managements standards will be required by State authorities and will utilize the previously permitted Pipe A4 and Sediment Trap A-11 (refer to plans). The proposed modifications will require silt fence,the lengthening of Pipe A-1, and the relocation of Pipe A-1's dissipater to accommodate the new driveway for the concrete plant. Engineering calculations have not been provided at this time as the concrete plant is schematic in nature and would be provided at time of site plan submittal to the local jurisdiction. 137 South Wilmington Street,Suite 200 1 Raleigh, NC 27601 t:919.469.3340 f:919.467.6008 1 www.withersravenel.com I License No. C-0832 Asheville I Cary Greensboro I Pittsboro I Raleigh I Southern Pines I Wilmington APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT NORTH CAROLINA MINING PERMIT APPLICATION State of North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources 1612 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 (919) 707-9220 Revised: 2017 Mine Permit Modification Application Hanson Aggregates Southeast, LLC Raleigh Quarry, NC Mine Permit No. 92-02 Wake Forest, Wake County, NC 27587 APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT (PLEASE PRINT OR TYPE) 1.
