The original modification application was submitted September 16,2024.This revision to that modification is a result of unforeseen consequences resulting from the aftermath of hurricane Helene. This modification revision includes the following: • Construction of a southern access road connecting the site to Queen Road, • Narrative description of the proposed access road, • Design plans and calculations for the proposed access road and drainage measures, • Updated Operations Plan, • Updated Reclamation Plan, • Project Specifications. Sincerely, RECEIVED Tony Johnson tpND pUALITY SECT ION Environmental Engineer cc: David Cade CHARLOTTE REGIONAL OFFICE-VULCAN CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS,L.L.C. 11020 David Taylor Drive,SUITE 400,CHARLOTTE,NC 28262,TELEPHONE 704-549.1540,FAX 704-549-4137 Enka Quarry•Mining Permit No. 11-03 !Vulcan Construction Materials,LLC Mining Permit Modification November S,2024 Introduction Vulcan Construction Materials, LLC ("Vulcan")operates the Enka Quarry, Permit No. 11-03, in Buncombe County, North Carolina. The site is located on the south side of US Rt 19/23, at 1186 Smokey Park Highway,Candler,NC 28715. This mining permit modification provides an overview of the existing conditions of the quarry and a detailed plan for the proposed site improvements. The proposed activities include adding a 10.36-acre tract to the permit boundary with no disturbance and the construction of an access road from the southern overburden storage area to Queen Road. Existing Conditions Property and Permit Boundary The existing permitted property at Enka Quarry consists of 300.70 acres of land owned by Vulcan Lands, Inc. This permitted area is shown on Operations Plan. Lance Within the 300.70-acre permitted area, Vulcan currently has approximately 273.20 acres for quarry related activities including: approximately 0.90 acre for tailings/settling pond area, 19.4 acres for stockpiles, 56.50 acres for overburden storage area, 25.90 acres for processing/haul roads area, and 143.10 acres for mine excavation area.The remaining areas are used for buffers and wildlife enhancement. Wetlands and Streams The area included in this permit modification request has been investigated for the presence of Waters of the U.S. (wetlands and streams). Any such areas have been verified and delineated using appropriate protocol and their locations surveyed. No impacts to Waters of the US are proposed by this modification request. Proposed Land Disturbance This permit modification adds 10.36 acres to the west side of the approved permit boundary.This is additional acreage to the permit boundary with no proposed disturbance currently. The proposed south access road to Queen Road is in response to hurricane Helene damage in and around the quarry. Crushed stone products and soil overburden are needed from the site by the community for much needed repairs. Damage within the quarry site has bottlenecked all traffic to a single lane creek crossing.The addition of this southern access road will allow community traffic hauling soils to enter&exit the site without utilizing the single lane creek crossing. The access road is being constructed within an area that is already permitted for overburden storage Enka Quarry•Mining Permit No. 11-03 Vulcan Construction Materials,LLC Mining Permit Modification November 5,2024 and in the future as mine excavation pit. The road culvert and approximately one-third of the disturbed area for the access road construction are within the permitted area that has already been disturbed during previous overburden storage placement operations.The remaining two-thirds of the area, or 0.8 acre, required for the access road construction are within areas currently permitted for disturbance as both overburden storage and mine excavation pit. Approximately 0.25 acre of the buffer adjacent to property owned by Vulcan Materials will graded to construct the access road. Once final grades are achieved for the roadside slopes,this area will be vegetated,and the buffer will be re-established. Adequate erosion and sediment control structures are already in place for the construction of this access road. As an added protective measure, a rock check dam will be installed immediately downstream of the rip rap outlet protection pad for the access road culvert. This will keep any sediment local to the grading project and provide for easier identification& removal, if needed. Silt (sediment)fence will also be installed if field conditions require during construction. The site water truck will be utilized for dust suppression along the proposed access road.Clean stone will be maintained along the access road, particularly from the gate to Queen Road, to prevent tracking out onto the state highway. Construction Sequence 1. After November 15th, begin clearing vegetation around the proposed rock check dam and access road culvert. 2. Install the rock check dam and access road culvert. 3. Begin placing fill over the culvert and establish the fill interface drainage channels along the toe of fill slopes. 4. Continue placing fill and bring the access road and outslopes to final grades. Establish and maintain design drainage patterns as the construction proceeds. 5. Vegetate the final graded areas and place aggregate base course stone on the roadway for the driving surface. 6. Install the gate across the access road to control traffic ingress&egress. 7. Clean any sediment from the rock check dam and drainage channels,then re-seed any areas disturbed by the cleaning operations. uman Materials Company September 16, 2024 Mr.Adam Parr, PE N. C.

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. A large portion of the site has been graded and developed into a quarry. Erosion control measures will be installed prior to the development of any areas that do not drain into the pit. Areas disturbed for the site development will be stabilized once the final grades are obtained.Additionally,several existing erosion and sedimentation control measures have been enhanced to provide more surface area for better settling efficiency for water quality control. Also,clean storm water run-off from uphill undisturbed areas has been directed into a culvert to convey clean water through an existing pipe that discharges into the creek. The development of the concrete plant on a tenant site will occur within the existing stockpile area. Additional erosion control measures will be added for the new construction and a construction sequence is shown on the construction plans for the new plant area. 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-sectionskonstruction details of each measure.Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures. Existing erosion and sediment measures were designed,approved,and installed per the existing permit. These measures include conveyance channels,sediment basins(silt traps&riser basins),and silt fence. See the construction sequence on the plans on file for the sequence of construction and maintenance. A silt trap and diversion berms will be constructed to contain sediment from the proposed concrete plant. Additional measures such as in-line settling ponds,check dams may be added to aid in the reduction of stormwater turbidity. A skimmer basin has been added for the construction of the concrete plant site 3. A)Will the operation involve washing the material mined,recycling process water,or other wastewater handling? FX_1YES ]NO If yes,briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used. Wash water generated at the sizing-wash screen will continue to flow via pipe to the closed-loop,non-discharge settling pond.Settling is performed by gravity and the use of flocculants. The water will be recycled as wash water. Site stormwater also receives additional stormwater treatment. Runoff from the pit expansion areas is diverted into the pit sump or nearby sediment basins. Runoff from the area around the office is collected in a catch basin downstream of the parking lot. The runoff from other disturbed areas is collected in setting basins to provide addition settling. Water is discharged from the pit sump infrequently and in accordance with the existing NPDES Water Quality Permit NCG020000. Enka Quarry has received inspections by the Division of Water Quality and has fully cooperated with their requirements and recommendations. 6)Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters of the State? YES FINO If 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). All water discharges from the site are covered by the existing NPDES permit. Pit dewatering, process and stormwater discharges will be handled via approved measures and in accordance with the existing NPDES Water Quality Permit NCG020000.

FX-1YES ] NO If yes,do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? a YES 1:1 NO Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day: 576d000.00 If yes,what impact,if any,will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?Locate all existing wells on the mine maps)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. Stormwater accumulates in the existing pit in response to rainfall events.A portion of the water is used for dust suppression and in the production process.Excess stormwater,retained temporarily in the pit,is clarified,sampled and occasionally discharged to tributary to Hominy Creek in compliance with our existing General NPDES water permit.No additional point source discharges are being proposed. We have no reason to suspect the operation has had or will have the potential to adversely impact any well in the vicinity.This is based in part upon the fact that during Vulcan's 40•years(+)operating history of this facility,we have not substantiated any impacts to any adjoining wells. Regardless,should a concern come to our attention,we would fully investigate the inquiry. The surrounding area is served by public water.There are no known wells within 500 feet of the pit limits as shown on the plans. Ground water occurs in two aquifer units at and around the site,the soil zone and the bedrock zone.These two aquifer units are hydrologically interrelated,with recharge to bedrock occurring as downward leakage from vrater in the soil.In the soil zone aquifer,the quarry site is partially hydrologically isolated from any domestic wells. Hydrologic barriers are created by topographic highs to the east,west and south of the quarry. Hominy Creek fortes a hydrologic barrier north of the quarry.Ground water divides and boundaries in the bedrock zone appear to be similar to those of the soil horizon and surface water,partially isolating the quarry hydrologically. 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. We hold general permit number NCG020000, Certificate of Coverage NCG020151 that addresses and covers water-related activities including dewatering, process water, settling pond and stormwater discharges. We are not required to obtain a capacity use permit; however, we have registered our water use with the Division of Water Resources. 4. A)Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? FX-1YES F]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. Vulcan holds Air Permit Number 11-649-21 issued by Western North Carolina Regional Air Quality Agency. B)How will dust from stockpiles,haul roads,etc.,be controlled? Fugitive dust from stockpiles and haul roads will be controlled by use of a water truck. Water will also be applied at the appropriate areas throughout the crushing circuit by use of spray bars.

A)A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way.It may be an unexcavated buffer(no excavation,but roadways,berms,and erosion&sedimentation control measures may be installed within it),an undisturbed buffer(no disturbance within the buffer whatsoever),or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions.Note that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries. How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way at this site?A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended,although a wider buffer may be needed depending on site conditions.Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine map(s). An unexcavated buffer zone of at least 25 feet wide will be provided between any mine excavation or overburden storage and adjacent property lines on the original permitted tract. Slopes will be graded no steeper than a 2:1 ratio and stabilized after grading to protect adjoining permit boundaries. B)A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions,a buffer wider than 50 feet may be needed. How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site?Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine map(s). A minimum buffer width of 50 feet will be maintained adjacent to streams and wetlands, except for areas where impacts are proposed, impacts have been previously permitted, and in locations for temporary crossings. 6. A)Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required unless technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes. A 25 foot minimum buffer will be maintained between any new cut slopes and adjacent properties. The slopes will be constructed at a 21-1:1V slope angle and seeded/munched immediately upon completion. B)Provide a cross-section on the mine map(s)for all fill slopes(berms,waste piles,overburden disposal areas,etc.), clearly indicating the intended side slope gradient,installation of any benches and/or slope drains(with supporting design information)if needed,and the method of final stabilization.

An eight to twelve degree back slope from vertical with a 30 foot wide bench at 80 vertical feet intervals will be provided in new expanded pit areas. 7. Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling,house, public road,or public,commercial or industrial building from any mine excavation.Locate all such structures on the mine map if they are within 300 feet of any proposed excavation. There are no subject structures within 300 feet of the proposed excavation (quarry limit). Properties will be well buffered from on-going operations. Slopes will be placed on steeper than 2:1 ratios and will be properly vegetated. Posted signs"No Trespassing-Open Pit"will be placed around the perimeter of the operation at a 100 yard spacing. Vehicle access to the site is only via Vulcan's existing entrance which is controlled at the entrance of the existing facility onto US Hwy 19-23—no other access points will be constructed. All drilling and blasting will be conducted in accordance with all applicable North Carolina Standards contained in our existing mining permit. 8. Describe what kind of barricade will be used to prevent inadvertent public access along any high wall area and when it will be implemented.Vegetated earthen berms,appropriate fencing and adequate boulder barriers may be acceptable high wall barricades.A construction detaftross-section and location of each type of barricade to be used must be indicated on the mine map(s). A combination of earthen berms, fencing, and boulder barriers now surround the pit high wall and property and will be maintained as a permanent barricade. These structures will continue to be used for the site development. In addition, a 20' horizontal safety bench will be constructed along the toe of the dirt slope and the top of the rock junction. 9. Are acid roducing minerals or soils present? YES FX NO If yes,how will acid water pollution from the excavation,stockpiles,and waste areas be controlled?

Outlet protection for culverts is configured in accordance with NCDOT design charts. Outlet protection for sediment structures consists of a level area that varies in size and is designed to accommodate the flows from a particular outlet. Each Outlet Protection is site specific and a detail is provided for the particular structure to which the Outlet Protection applies. The level area consists of NCDOT Class 1 rip rap constructed in accordance with the plans. Outlet protection is designed to reduce velocity and disperse water. Outlet protection is designed to reduce the possibility of erosion caused by concentrated waters on natural slopes. CONSTRUCTION I. Clear the foundation area of trees, stumps, roots, loose rock, and other objectionable material. 2. Excavate the cross section to the lines and grades of the rip rap placement as shown on the plans. Bring over-excavated areas to grade by increasing the thickness of the liner or by backfilling with moist soil compacted to the density of the surrounding material. Place all surplus excavated material from the trap excavation in the overburden disposal berm or other approved area. 3. Perform all channel construction to keep erosion and water pollution to a minimum. Immediately upon completion of the channel, vegetate all disturbed areas per the approved Reclamation Plan or as stated otherwise to protect them against soil erosion. Where sediment trap construction will take longer than 30 days, vegetate incrementally. MAINTENANCE 1. Inspect outlet protection at regular intervals as well as after major rains, and make repairs promptly. Give special attention to the outlet and inlet sections and other points where concentrated flow enters. Carefully check stability and look for indications of piping, scour holes, or bank failures.

Enka Quarry-Mining Permit No. 11-03•Permit Modification Pulcan Construction Materials,LLC•September 16,2024 Practice Standards and Specifications 6.62 SEDIMENT Definition A temporary sediment control measure consisting of fabric buried at the bottom,stretched,and supported by posts. Purpose To retain sediment from small disturbed areas by reducing the velocity of sheet flows to allow sediment deposition. Conditions Where Below small-disturbed areas that are less then'/+acre per 100 feet of fence. Practice Applies Where runoff can be stored behind the sediment fence without damaging the fence or the submerged area behind the fence. Do not install sediment fences across streams,ditches,or waterways,or other areas of concentrated flow. Sediment fence should be placed along topographic elevation contours,where it can intercept stormwater runoff that is in dispersed sheet flow. Sediment fence should not be used alone below graded slopes greater than 10 feet in height. Planning A sediment fence is a system to retain sediment on the construction site. The fence retains sediment primarily by retarding flow and promoting deposition. Considerations In operation,generally the fence becomes clogged with fine particles,which reduce the flow rate. This causes a pond to develop behind the fence. The designer should anticipate ponding and provide sufficient storage areas and overflow outlets to prevent flows from overtopping the fence. Since sediment fences are not designed to withstand high water levels,locate them so that only shallow pools can form. Tie the ends of a sediment fence into higher ground to prevent flow around the end of the fence before the pool reaches design level. Curling each end of the fence uphill in a"J"pattern may be appropriate to prevent end flow. Provide stabilized outlets to protect the fence system and release storm flows that exceed the design storm. Deposition occurs as the storage pool forms behind the fence.The designer can direct flows to specified deposition areas through appropriate positioning of the fence or by providing an excavated area behind the fence. Plan deposition areas at accessible points to promote routine cleanout and maintenance. Show deposition areas in the erosion and sedimentation control plan. A sediment fence acts as a diversion if placed slightly off the contour. A maximum slope of 2 percent is recommended. This technique may be used to control shallow, uniform flows from small disturbed areas and to deliver sediment-laden water to deposition areas.The anchoring of the toe of the fence should be reinforced with 12 inches of NC DOT#5 or#57 washed stone when flow will run parallel to the toe of the fence. Sediment fences serve no function along ridges or near drainage divides where there is little movement of water. Confining or diverting runoff unnecessarily with a sediment fence may create erosion and sedimentation problems that would not otherwise occur. Rev.5113 6.62.1 Enka Quarry-Mining Permit No. 11-03-Permit Modification Vulcan Construction Materials,LLC-September 16.2024 Straw barriers have only a 0-20%trapping efficiency and are inadequate.Straw bales may not be used in place of sediment fence.Prefabricated sediment fence with the fabric already stapled to thin wooden posts does not meet minimum standards specified later in this section. Anchoring of sediment fence is critical.The toe of the fabric must be anchored in a trench backfilled with compacted earth. Mechanical compaction must be provided in order for the fence to effectively pond runoff. Design Criteria Ensure that drainage area is no greater than''A acre per 100 feet offence. This is the maximum drainage area when the slope is less than 2 percent. Where all runoff is to be stored behind the fence,ensure that the maximum slope length behind a sediment fence does not exceed the specifications shown in Table 6.62a. The shorter slope length allowed for steeper slopes will greatly reduce the maximum drainage area. For example,a 10-20%slope may have a maximum slope length of 25 feet. For a 100-foot length of sediment fence, the drainage area would be 25ft X 100ft=2500sq.ft.,or 0.06 acres. Table 6.62a Maximum Slope Slope Length(ft) Maximum Area(ftj Slope Length and Slope for <2% 100 10,000 which Sediment Fence is 2 to 5% 75 7,500 Applicable 5 to 10% 50 5,000 10 to 20% 25 2,500 >20% 15 1,500 Make the fence stable for the 10-year peak storm runoff. Ensure that the depth of impounded water does not exceed 1.5 feet at any point along the fence. If non-erosive outlets are provided, slope length may be increased beyond that shown in Table 6.62a,but runoff from the area should be determined and bypass capacity and erosion potential along the fence must be checked. The velocity of the flow at the outlet or along the fence should be in keeping with Table 8.05d,Appendix 8.05. Provide a riprap splash pad or other outlet protection device for any point where flow may overtop the sediment fence,such as natural depressions or swales. Ensure that the maximum height of the fence at a protected,reinforced outlet does not exceed 2 feet and that support post spacing does not exceed 4 feet. The design life of a synthetic sediment fence should be 6 months. Construction MATERIALS Specifications " Use a synthetic filter fabric of at least 95%by weight of polyolefins or p polyester,which is certified by the manufacturer or supplier as conforming to the requirements in ASTM D 6461,which is shown in part in Table 6.62b. Synthetic filter fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers to provide a minimum of 6 months of expected usable construction life at a temperature range of 0 to 1200 F. 6.62.2 Rev.SM Enka Quarry-Mining Permit No. I1-03-Permit Modification Vulcan Construction Materials,LLC-September 16,2024 Practice Standards and Specifications 2. Ensure that posts for sediment fences are 1.25 lb/linear ft minimum steel with a minimum length of 5 feet. Make sure that steel posts have projections to facilitate fastening the fabric. 3. For reinforcement of standard strength filter fabric,use wire fence with a minimum 14 gauge and a maximum mesh spacing of 6 inches.

For environmentally sensitive areas,a review of previous experience and/or site or regionally specific geotextila tests in accordance with Test Method D 5141 should be performed by the agency to confirm suitability of these requirements. As measured in accordance with Test Method D 4632. CONSTRUCTION 1. Construct the sediment barrier of standard strength or extra strength synthetic filter fabrics. 2. Ensure that the height of the sediment fence does not exceed 24 inches above the ground surface. (Higher fences may impound volumes of water sufficient to cause failure of the structure.) 3. Construct the filter fabric from a continuous roll cut to the length of the barrier to avoid joints. When joints are necessary,securely fasten the filter cloth only at a support post with 4 feet minimum overlap to the next post. 4. Support standard strength filter fabric by wire mesh fastened securely to the upslope side of the posts. Extend the wire mesh support to the bottom of the trench. Fasten the wire reinforcement,then fabric on the upslope side of the fence post. Wire or plastic zip ties should have minimum 50 pound tensile strength. 5. When a wire mesh support fence is used,space posts a maximum of 8 feet apart. Support posts should be driven securely into the ground a minimum of 24 inches. 6. Extra strength filter fabric with 6 feet post spacing does not require wire mesh support fence. Securely fasten the filter fabric directly to posts. Wire or plastic zip ties should have minimum 50 pound tensile strength. Rev.5113 6.623 Enka Quarry•Mining Permit No. 11-03•Permit Modification Vulcan Construction Materials,LLC-September 16,2024 7. Excavate a trench approximately 4 inches wide and 8 inches deep along the proposed line of posts and upslope from the barrier(Figure 6.62a). 8. Place 12 inches of the fabric along the bottom and side of the trench. 9. Backfill the trench with soil placed over the filter fabric and compact. Thorough compaction of the backfill is critical to silt fence performance. 10.Do not attach filter fabric to existing trees. SEDIMENT FENCE INSTALLATION USING THE SLICING METHOD Instead of excavating a trench,placing fabric and then backfilling trench, sediment fence may be installed using specially designed equipment that inserts the fabric into a cut sliced in the ground with a disc(Figure 6.62b). Installation 1. The base of both end posts should be at least one foot higher than the Specifications middle of the fence. Check with a level if necessary. 2. Install posts 4 feet apart in critical areas and 6 feet apart on standard applications. 3. Install posts 2 feet deep on the downstream,side of the silt fence,and as close as possible to the fabric,enabling posts to support the fabric from upstream water pressure. 4. Install posts with the nipples facing away from the silt fabric. 5. Attach the fabric to each post with three ties,all spaced within tbe top 8 inches of the fabric.Attach each tie diagonally 45 degrees through the fabric, with each puncture at least 1 inch vertically apart. Also,each tie should be positioned to hang on a post nipple when tightened to prevent sagging. 6. Wrap approximately 6 inches of fabric around the end posts and secure with 3 ties. 7. No more than 24 inches of a 36 inch fabric is allowed above ground level. 8. The installation should be checked and corrected for any deviations before compaction. 9. Compaction is vitally important for effective results.

Should the fabric of a sediment fence collapse,tear,decompose or become ineffective,replace it promptly. Remove sediment deposits as necessary to provide adequate storage volume for the next rain and to reduce pressure on the fence. Take care to avoid undermining the fence during cleanout. Remove all fencing materials and unstable sediment deposits and bring the area to grade and stabilize it after the contributing drainage area has been properly stabilized References ASTM D 6461-99."Standard Specification for Silt Fence Materials"ASTM International.
