Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the sequence to the mine map(s).Attach additional sheets as needed. The pit is developed in the normal fashion for a mature granite operation. Future pit areas adjacent to the existing pit are stripped to rock by soil haulers or our contractors. This disturbed area is graded to drain back to the pit or to approved erosion control structures. 2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during mining to prevent offsite sedimentation(include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine excavation(s),waste piles,access/mine roads,and process areas),and give a detailed sequence of installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures.Locate and label all sediment and erosion control measures on the mine map(s)and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each measure.Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures. Erosion control measures are noted in the attached Mine Map. These structures have been designed according to the specifications shown in the Erosion & Sediment Control Planning & Design Manual distributed by the Land Quality Section. Details for all existing structures have been submitted and approved through past submittals. Any new erosion control structures as part of this modification are detailed in the supporting documents. 3. A)Will the operation involve wash in the material mined,recycling process water,or other wastewater handling? FX_]YES NO If yes,briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used. All washwater is handled through a closed-loop recycle system. The ponds comprising this system are shown on the Mine Map. B)Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters of the State? RXYES RNO !f yes,briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate all proposed discharge points(along with their method of stabilization)on the mine map(s). The site is permitted to discharge mine water, process water and stormwater by means of the General NPDES Permit No. NCG020535 issued by the NC Division of Water Quality. Mine dewatering occurs from the pit sump upto a clarification pond which then discharges to an unnamed tributary of Contentnea Creek. Stormwater discharges occur from the sediment basins located on the map.

AYES F� NO If yes,do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? YES NO Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 2,304,000.00 If yes,what impact,if any,will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?Locate all existing wells on the mine map(s)that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area.Provide data to support any conclusions or statement made,including any monitoring well data,well construction data,and current water withdrawal rates.Indicate whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells. Granite mines do not typically cause a problem with wells on adjacent properties. This site does not have a history of such a problem. The nearest and only neighbor, east of Contentnea Creek, is located approximately 0.5 miles away from the edge of the pit. It is likely that this neighbor is served by a private well since the quarry is also served by well water. D)If you answered yes to any of the above questions,provide evidence that you have applied for or obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s)(i.e.,non-discharge,NPDES,Stormwater,etc.)from the Stormwater Program.In addition,the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of Water Resources,Ground Water Management Branch,if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources,Ground Water Management Branch,if the operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day. General NPDES Permit NCG020535 issued by the NC Division of Water Quality covers this site. Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. also registered this site under the current Water Withdrawal Registration program. This site does lie in a capacity use area, and is covered by Capacity Use Permit No.: CU3035 issued by the Division of Water Resources. 4. A)Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? ©YES ]NO If yes,indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the Division of Air Quality or local governing body. The site is permitted to operate by Air Permit No. 08893 issued by the NC Division of Air Quality. B)How will dust from stockpiles,haul roads,etc.,be controlled? Wet suppression is used to control plant emissions. Haul roads and stockpiles are controlled by the use of a water truck equipped with powered rear spray and front mounted water cannon.

Existing trees, terrain and berms will effectively screen our operations from nearby roads or homes. Trees and vegetation will be planted on the berms and in such areas as to promote future long-term screening and soil stability. B)Could the operation have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a publicly owned park,forest,or recreation area?If so,how will such effects(i.e.,noise,visibility,etc.)be mitigated? There are no publicly owned parks, forest or recreation areas adjacent to the quarry. 11. Will R losives be used? X YES NO If yes,specify the types of explosive(s)and describe what precaution(s)will be used to prevent physical hazard to persons or neighboring property from flying rocks or excessive air blasts or ground vibrations.Depending on the mine's location to nearby structures,more detailed technical information may be required on the blasting program(such as a third-party blasting study).Locate the nearest offsite occupied structure(s)to the proposed excavation(s)on the mine map and indicate its approximate distance to the proposed excavation. Explosives will be utilized for rock extraction. The principal explosive material is ammonium nitrate, which is also commonly used as a fertilizer. Blasting is conducted by a contractor. No explosives are stored onsite. A shot pattern is used that minimizes air and ground vibrations and optimizes rock breakage. Energy released via an excess air blast or ground vibrations is wasted energy. The intent is to make each blast as efficient as possible by reducing wasted energy. 12. Will fuel tanks,solvents,or other chemical reagents be stored on-site? FXIYES nNO If yes,describe these materials,how they will be stored and method of containment in case of spill.Indicate the location(s)of all storage facilities on the mine map(s).
