RE: Cary (Triangle) Quarry
Mining Permit No. 92-10
Wake County
Neuse River Basin
Dear Mr. Lee:
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
April 14, 2021
We have reviewed the modification request your company submitted for the referenced mine site. In order for this
office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with G.S. §74-50 and §74-51 of the Mining
Act of 1971, please provide the additional or revised information in accordance with the following comments:
1. Please supply a list of all equipment that was modeled and its location for the "Wake Stone Triangle
Quarry Expansion Acoustical Study."
2. Please supply a copy of the March 12, 2021 "Wake Stone Triangle Quarry Expansion Acoustical Study"
that provides tracked changes from the February 11, 2021 draft version.
3. The current maps provide the location of concrete washout on the north/west (new pit) side of Crabtree
Creek, but no concrete washout is shown on the south/east (existing pit) side of the creek. Please supply
corrected drawings showing the concrete washout(s) on the south/east pit, or an explanation why a
washout is not needed.
4. Please supply proof that the security fence meets the requirements of the Neuse River buffer rules. Has
a buffer authorization been provided?
5. It is recommended that Wake Stone upsize the riser pipe diameter on Basin #4 so that it is a size or two
larger than the barrel pipe. This will prevent potential hydraulic conditions that can reduce outflows
and overall hydraulic efficiency.
6. We have received additional information regarding Reclamation Condition No. 5, subparagraph B (the
"Sunset Clause"). As a result, please provide all current and historical information, including
documents and communications, regarding this Condition that you have in your possession or to which
you have access. To the extent available, this includes information dating between the hearing
conducted by the Mining Commission on or around December 16, 1980 and issuance of the Mining
D_EQJ� north Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Energy. Mineral and Land Resources
