I 'JAN 10 2013 MEMORANDUM LAND QUALITY TO: Brenda M. Harris, Mining Program Secretary MMI NG P 9or, R,�� Land Quality Section p FROM: Shari L. Bryant, Piedmont Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: 8 January 2013 SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal for Hanson Aggregates Southeast, LLC, Raleigh Quarry — Permit No. 92-02, Wake County, North Carolina. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NC WRC) have reviewed the subject permit application. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982) (G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5). The.applicant is requesting a renewal of their permit for mining meta -granite. The permitted area is 447.56 acres. The applicant indicates excess groundwater from the quarry dewatering process, and excess water from the closed circuit settling pond system are discharged. A minimum 50-foot buffer is maintained between land disturbing activities and any natural watercourses or wetlands on the site. The reclamation plan includes allowing the excavation to fill with water, and re -vegetating the site with grasses suitable for establishing grasslands and wildlife areas. Neuse River and Richland Creek flow adjacent to the site. There are records for the state threatened triangle floater 1.41acmidnnta undidlntnl in Neuse River. Also, there are records L;r Ilie state special concern four -toed salamander (Hemidactylium scutatum) near the site. The Significant Natural Heritage Area — Upper Neuse River Floodplain — is located adjacent to and downstream of the site. It appears a 200 foot buffer is maintained along Richland Creek and Neuse River Should the permit be issued, we offer the following general recommendations to minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources. I . Water discharges from the site should be proportional to the size of the receiving stream so that the hvdrAngy of the Orwam ie not altered, and all d-1 . geu should comply ' :ILIS*t. 1`1nnCCi peci4 requirements. In particular, turbidity of the discharge should be maintained at or below the permit requirement. High water discharge rates and turbidity can negatively impact aquatic resources within and downstream of the site. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills of aquatic species.

We are pleased to see the applicant is considering using grasses that are beneficial to wildlife. An exact seeding mixture would need to take into account soil types, moisture, pH, and degree of slope of areas to be stabilized. Additionally, for relatively shallow sediment basin reclamation, we recommend these areas be reclaimed as wetlands where practicable_ We refer the applicant to Greg Batts, District Wildlife Biologist, at (919) 269-9731 or greg.batts@ncwildlife,org for additional information and ideas on reclamation for wildlife.

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. Areas adgacent to the existing pit are stripped to rock by dirt haulers or our contractors. This disturbed area is made to drain back to the pit or to approved erosion control structures. The sequence of existing pit, stripped areas and future pit areas is shown on the submitted Mine Map. 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 iles, 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 maps) and provide typical crass-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 are all designed according to the specifications shown in the Surface Mining Manual distributed by the Land Quality Section. Details for all existing structures have been submitted and approved through past submittals. No new erosion control stilactures are proposed III this submittal. 3. a. Will the operation invo ve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water handling? Yes X No N. If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used. The crushed stone production process requires water for washing the sized stone products at the wash screen to remove dust and fines for the eventual use in asphalt and ready mix concrete. The water is recycled through a closed circuit process water settling pond system. Wash water from the plant is collected and delivered to one of two primary ponds, where most of the fines are removed by simply settling out ofsusnension. These nnnds operate. in eenna-nrr ;;dill nilP bein., out, „fscir icc ,,.......One': ----- a' Y�""� "' "-'-1»"••""', a— being ab out, va JVI Yaa,.c.. 0.L 0.11y VI1G L11119Z for dipping out opthe collected fines using a drag line or long reach excavator. The water then flows to the secondary pond where settling of additional finer particles takes place. The secondary pond also serves as a fresh water pond, and the clean water is pumped back to the plant for re -use in the stone washing process. Due to loss to evaporation from the ponds and loss into the stone products, the water balance is periodically restored by supplementing with groundwater lumped from the quarryas part of the dewatering process. A pump is also maintained in the Neuse River for purposes of replenishing the system during exceptionally dry times. Water is also used for dust control at the facility. Water is used at the processing nlants by introduction through sprays at crushers acid at conveyor transfer points to control dust emissions. it is also used in the water truck to control dust emanating from haul roads, stockpiles, and the shot rock pile in the pit. Water used in dust suppression is usually pulled either from the quarry dewatering or from the secondary settling/fresh water pond. At the present time, no chemicals are used in any of these processes; however, there are times it is necessary to use DWQ approved flocculants in the recycle system to help achieve a cleaner source of water for the plant washing and dust control.

Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters of the State? Yes X No . Ifyes, briefly describe the nature ofthe discharge and locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method of stabilization) on your mine map(s). We currently operate under the NPDES COC No. NCG020209 General I'enrlit that covers the discharge of excess groundwater from the quarry dewatering process, as we]I as any excess water from our closed circuit settling; pond system.

Provide data to support any conclusions or statements 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. rom analysis of the core retrieved from exploratory drilling and the east quarry, the granite appears to have very little primary permeability. The only means in which water may be transported will be through secondary permeability (i.e. joints, fractures, shears, etc.); however, from core analysis, RQD values are in the 85% to 95% range below the weathered rock interface, and these joints and shears do not appear to be interconnected. The surfaces of the fractures and joints show very little evidence of mineralized coatings as a result of water transportation. Removal of the overburden has very little effect on shallow wells in the area since the pits, for the most part, sit on a topographic high and very little recharge area for shallow wells will be disturbed. The overburden materials in the pit areas are silts, clays, and sand which inhibit groundwater migration. No impact to wells within 500 feet of the quarries have been reported. 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 Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section. In addition, the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of Water Resources if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources if the operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons ner day. Raleigh Quarry currently operates under the NPDES Stornwater Permit COC No. NCG020209 that covers the pit discharges as well as the closed circuit process water system. The Raleigh Quarry is registered with the Division of Water Resources and reports annual groundwater withdrawal data on an _...I ", UC4S, (uaia due Apiii i, each year). The on -site asphalt plant (7.1-acres) is not owned/operated by Hanson Aggregates Southeast, LLC. All appropriate permit, recording keeping, and maps for the asphalt plant will be accessible through their office on -site. 4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? Yes X No ElIf 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. NC Air Permit No. 04151 R 19, issued by NCDENR DAQ is in place for quarrying. A complete system of water sprays is in place at all crushers and conveyor transfer points to control particulate emissions from these sources. . lh.,.,n-s;ic asphalt plant t,. 1-acrcs) is not owned/operated by Hanson Aggregates Southeast, LLC. All appropriate permit, recording keeping, and maps for the asphalt plant will be accessible through their office oil -site. b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled? A water truck is used to wet the haul roads, muck piles, and stockpiles as needed to control fugitive emissions from these sources. • • APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT 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). It is anticipated that a minimum 50 foot undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and existing property line or highway right of way. An additional 50 foot unexcavated buffer will be maintained and may include visual screening via visual berm or tree plantings between any excavation and existing property lines or highway right of ways. Approved buffer locations and widths can be viewed on the attached mine maps. 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 50-ft undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities and any natural watercourses and wetlands on this site. The attached plans have been previously approved and show specific details relevant to buffers at each location. 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 l vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required, unless technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes. To prevent landslides and/or slope failure adjacent to adjoining properties, cut slopes will be graded no steeper than 1-1/2 to 1, and fill slopes will be graded no steeper than 2:1, and proper compaction procedures will be utilized. All slopes will be stabilized by seeding as soon as possible after grading has been completed. Necessary erosion controls will be used to prevent slope failure by concentrated stormwater runoff. Excavation or fill will not generally occur within 100' or 50' respectively of any adjoining property boundary or right of way except for the installation of visual screen berms. b. Provide a cross-section on the mine map(s) for all fill slopes (berms, wastepiles, overburden disposal areas, etc.), clearly indicating the intended side slope gradient, installation ofany benches and/or slope drains (with supporting design information) if needed, and the method of final stabilization. See attached previously approved mine plans for generalized locations and specific details. c. In excavation(s) of unconsolidated (non -rock) materials, specify the angle of all cut slopes including specifications for benching and sloping. Cross -sections for all cut slopes must be provided on the mine map(s). The maximum slope within the pit excavations will be 1-1 /2 to I in unconsolidated overburden with a 20-foot wide safety bench at the rock/unconsolidated overburden interface. See attached previously approved drawings for detail sections. • • APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT d. In hardrock excavations, specify proposed bench widths and heights in feet. Provide cross -sections of the mine excavation clearly noting the angles of the cut slopes, widths of all safety benches and mine benches, and the expected maximum depth of the excavation. At the Rocky Mount Quarry, the slope in hard rock has historically been '/ to 1 with no bench. This slope has been adequate throughout the history of this site since the deposit is relatively uniform and does not have a tendency to slide. It is typical of our operations currently to leave a 15' wide safety bench for every 35' of vertical height. See attached previously approved plans for detail sections. 7. Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling house, public road, 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. Hanson has always used the most modern and up-to-date mining methods to insure the safety of its employees and neighbors. Sufficient buffers and proper berm construction are left to minimize the impact of excavations on adjoining properties and structures. 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 detail/cross-section and location of each type of barricade to be used must be indicated on the mine map(s). Access to the property itself is restricted by gates and cables that are kept locked when the quarry is not in operation. Much of the perimeter is fenced. Berns and overburden disposal areas also block access to much of the site and inactive highwalls. During the life of the quarry, barricades of either oversized rock or concrete are used adjacent to active highwalls and are relocated as the pit is developed. 9. Are acid producing minerals or soils present? Yes ❑ 'No X. If yes, how will acid water pollution from the excavation, stockpiles and waste areas be controlled? 10. a. Describe specific plans (including a schedule of implementation) for screening. the operation from public view such as maintaining or planting trees, bushes or other vegetation, buildingberms or other measures. Show the location of all visual screening on the mine maps) and provide cross -sections through all proposed berms or proposed spacing, sizes and species for tree plantings. 'rhe Raleigh Quarry presently has a combination of well developed visual barrier berms as well as natural vegetation which screens the site effectively from the adjoining roads and properties. b. Could the operation have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a publicly owned ark, forest or recreation area? If so, how will such effects (i.e., noise, visibility, etc.) be mitigated? No pub-1.4, ly o'vy,ned park, 0rest, or recreation area per se a J'olns file Raicien Quarry. Tile site Is well screened fl•om the Neuse River which may be used for recreation along this stretch, and the quarry has little or no impact on this watercourse. APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT 11. Will explosives be used? Yes X No ❑ If yes, specify the types of cxplosive(s) and describe what precaution(s) will be used to pre -vent physical hazard to persons or neighboring property from flying racks 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 excavations) on the mine map and indicate its approximate distance to the proposed excavation. Ensign Bickford or comparable none] blast initiation system is used to inadvertent blast initiation especially during possible thunderstorms. An electronic initiation system may be substituted for the none] system if it is deemed a better overall system. Weather conditions are monitored continuously before, during, and after loading of each shot to insure that the shot will not be initiated under adverse weather conditions that might cause blast emissions to drift in an unacceptable direction or might prevent proper venting of the blast wave away from adjoining properties. ANFO premixed powder is used in dry holes. A cap -sensitive high explosive emulsion is used for wet holes and initiation of the ANFO. Since blasting is an integral part of this operation, each blast is monitored with a seismograph to insure that peak particle velocities and peak overpressures are within the limits established by local, state, and federal authorities. Hanson works closely with consultants (often Vibratech) to monitor and review each blast and seismographic recording. Alonf with the seismograph results, fragmentation and flyrock conditions are constantly mionitored, and the blasting program, including direction of blasting, hole size and pattern, stemming, etc. are adjusted as needed to insure best and safest results. 12. Will fuel tanks, solvents, or other chemical reagents be stored on -site? Yes X NoEl. Ifyes, describe these materials, how they will be stored and method ofcontainment in case ofspill. Indicate the location(s) of all storage facilities on the mine map(s). Onsite storage of diesel fuel, gasoline, and various oils and greases is necessary to facilitate the operation of various equipment needed to mine and process crushed stone aggregates. The bulk storage tanks for diesel fuel, gasoline, and oils are approved aboveground storage tanks having concrete secondary containment. Any major spill or leak from these tanks would be contained within the concrete containment structures. Greases and other oils are stored in aboveground storage tanks and 55-gallon drums and are stored in a concrete containment structure. An oil/water separator is located at the shop and servicing area to treat spent water fi-om vehicle and equipment washing. Used oil is collected from equipment and picked up for offsite recycling by properly certified contractors. Empty oil and grease barrels are returned to the supplier or cleaned and placed into the metal scrap bin for offsite reeychng. The Raleigh facility leas a Spill Preveantion Control & Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan that requires monthly inspections of all bulk fuel and lube storage units. All employees are trained on a regularbasis in the proper handling of petroleum products, managing and cleaning of spills, and proper disposal of rags, absorbent materials, and any contaminated soils. APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT D. RECLAMATION PLAN Describe your intended plan for the final reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the sequence and general methods to be used in reclaiming this land. This must include the method of reclamation of setting ponds and/or sediment control basins and the method of restoration or establishment of any permanent drainage channels to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution. This information must be illustrated on a reclamation map and must correspond directly with the information provided on the mine map(s). In addition, design information, including typical cross -sections, of any permanent channels to be constructed as part of the reclamation plan and the location(s) of all permanent channels must be indicated on the reclamation map. The mine excavations will be allowed to fill with groundwater and stormwater runoff from adjoining areas once the mining operations are completed. The resulting deep water lake will be used for recreation, and potentially as a fresh water supply. The plant sites, stockpile areas, and overburden disposal areas will be g-raded and seeded with grasses suitable for establishment of grasslands and wildlife areas. Process and pit water settling ponds will be filled and similarly reclaimed to grasslands unless they are a part of the overall site drainage and reclamation plan. See attached reclamation drawings for specific details. 2. Is an excavated or impounded body of water to be left as a part of the reclamation? Yes X No ❑. If yes, illustrate the location of the body(s) of water on the reclamation map and provide a scaled cross -sections) through the proposed body(s) of water. The minimum water depth must be at least 4 feet, measured from the normal low water table elevation, unless information is provided to indicate that a more shallow water body will be productive and beneficial at this site. Will the body(s) of water be stocked with fish? Yes ❑ No X. If yes, specify species. It is Hanson's intent to convert the quarry into a fresh water lake upon completion of mining activities. In addition, stormwater ponds I and 2, as shown on the attached drawings, will remain. See attached drawings for specific details and cross sections. 3. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all completed excavations in rock including what kind of permanent barricade will be left. Acceptable permanent barricades are appropriate fencing, large boulders placed end -to -end, etc. Construction details and locations of all permanent barricades must be shown on the reclamation map. Asa safety recaution, a 20-foot wide safety bench will be lefl at the rock/unconsolidated soil interface. A permanent Bence will be erected around the completed quarries to prevent unauthorized entry, and danger signs will be posted at regular intervals along the fence to warn folks of the open pits. i • APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT 4. Indicate the method(s) of reclamation of overburden, refuse, spoil banks or other such on -site mine waste areas, including specifications for benching and sloping. Final cross -sections and locations for such areas must be provided on the reclamation map. As overburden is placed in designated areas, it is spread and compacted by dozer and haul units. Slopes in waste areas will be graded 2:1 or flatter and vegetated as soon as possible to prevent erosion. Erosion control measures and runoff conveyances will be established as the wastepilc develops and then maintained throughout the process until final reclamation is achieved. Drainage on top of the waste areas will be established to prevent poolin and stagnation of water and to control runoff, Final reclamation of waste areas will include final top and slope dressing as required followed by seeding in accordance with the attached revegetation plan. See attached drawings for specific detail. 5. a. Describe reclamation of processing facilities, stockpile areas, and on -site roadways. Reclamation in these areas will occur as follows. First, the product stockpiles will be sold down. Then the processing plants will be dismantled and removed from the site. Any remaining piles, waste piles, and areas graded for plant layout and operation (including ramps to the primary stations) will be graded 2:1 maximum slope but generally 3:1 or flatter. Finally, these areas will be scarified and seeded accordig to the revegetation plan t.i�y site access roads not utilized in rile end use development plan will be treated in the same manner. Any erosion control structures in these areas to be incorporated into the end use development of the site will be cleaned out and left in good working condition. b. Will any on -site roadways be left as part of the reclamation? Yes X No ❑, If yes, identify such roadways on the reclamation map and provide details on permanent road and ditch line stabilization. Main paved roads into existing stone processing plant area and asphalt plant area will remain for future access and future development purposes. The road from the upper plant level down to the lower basin level behind the shop will remain and will be graded (including side drainage ditches) and stabilized with rock. G. Describe the method of control of contaminants and disposal of scrap metal, junk machinery, cables, or other such waste products of mining. (Note definition of refuse in The Mining Act of 1971.) No off -site aenerated waste shall be disposed of on the mine site without P rior written approval from the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section and either the Division of Waste Management (DWM) or local governing body. If a disposal permit has been issued by DWM for the site, a copy of said permit must be attached to this application. All temporary and permanent refuse dis osal areas must be clearly delineated on the mine map(s) and reclamation map, along with a list ofitems to be disposed in said areas. As previously approved, temporary scrap and used equipment storage areas have been developed at this site. The scrap material and used equipment which accumulate as a result of mining and processing activities arc stored in these areas until sold to an independent recycling contractor. A scrap bin is maintained on site for disposal by recycling of small metal scrap. Tires are recycled through the various tire suppliers. 0 0 APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT 7.

Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982XG.S. 74-76 through 74-68 15 NC A C 5). Hanson Aggregates Southeast, LLC is requesting a modification of their permit to mine crushed granite. The total permitted acreage is 447.56 acres. The proposed modification involves 10.8 acres within the previously permitted boundary. The modification includes the addition of a new asphalt plant, future employee parking lot, and expansion of screening berm footprint. The applicant indicates the operation will discharge fresh or waste water as a point discharge. Also, undisturbed buffers for natural watercourses and wetlands and the mine reclamation plan will be the same as the existing permit.

We request that sediment and erosion control structures be located outside of these buffers. 2. Water discharges from the project site should be proportional to the size of the receiving stream so that the hydrology of the stream is not altered, and all discharges should comply with NPDES permit requirements. In particular, turbidity of the discharge should be maintained at or below the permit requirement. High water discharge rates and turbidity can negatively impact aquatic and fisheries resources within and downstream of the project area. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills of aquatic species. 3. We encourage the applicant to consider using seed mixtures that are beneficial to wildlife such as native, warm season grasses in their reclamation plan. An exact seeding mixture would need to take into account soil types, moisture, pH, and degree of slope of areas to be stabilized. in addition, for relatively shallow sediment basin reclamation, we recommend these areas be reclaimed as wetlands where practicable. We refer the applicant to Joseph Folta, District Wildlife Biologist, at (919) 269-2767 for additional information and ideas on reclamation for wildlife. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit application.

The modification is for the addition of a new asphalt plant (operated by Blythe Construction), future employee parking lot, and expansion of footprint of the screening berm. The future asphalt plant will disturb approximately 7.1-acres and the future employee parking lot will disturb approximately 2.6-acres. A sediment basin with rock dam and sediment fences are proposed to control sedimentation and erosion during the grading/stabilization process. Sediment fences will be utilized to control runoff around the perimeter of the grading project. The sediment basin with rock dam will be utilized to control runoff for the remainder of the grading project. The minimum height of the screening berm located along the north -northeastern permit boundary has been modified to reflect the conditions of the Special Use Permit issued for the land along the northern permit boundary. The screening berm must have a minimum height of 15 feet. The footprint of the affected berms, 3 cross sections (Q-Q', R-R's, & S-S'), and sediment & erosion control plans have been revised on the Mine Map, Details Map, and Reclamation Plan. The result is an increase in the to be affected acreage for berms of 1.1-acres. Enclosed please find the following • Six (6) copies of the completed Sediment and Erosion Control Plans • Applicable pages of the permit application • Six (6) copies of updated Mine Map, Details Map, USGS vicinity map • Check in the amount of $750.00 to cover the permit processing fee Should you have any questions, or should any additional information be required, please contact me at (919) 961-2496.

To locate the approximate area of the impacted area, look on the Mine Map for the area labeled "FUTURE PIT EXPANSION t30-ACRES. The two area of impacts are as follows: (1) One section of impact is labeled "Note: Stream impact 291.83 lineal feet" (just above the note FUTURE PIT EXPANSION t30-ACRES). (2) The other section is just below Sediment Basin #1 (look near the red dot labeled SDO#2). The text for the second area is just below the text SDO#2 and is labeled (Note: Wetland Impact of 0.999 acres). Thank for forwarding a copy of the mine permit.

Located adjacent to and north of existing "Raleigh Quarry", on US 1, Wake Forest, in northem Wake County. Dear Monty: Enclosed is a completed preconstruction notification (PCN) application package for the proposed expansion of the existing quarry located two miles north of where U.S. 1 (Capitol Boulevard) crosses the Neuse River, on the west side of U.S. 1, north of Raleigh. By copy of this letter, we also submit seven copies of this PCN to the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for review and approval. The proposed area in question is approximately 44 acres, and is located adjacent to and immediately to the north of the existing "Hanson Aggregates Raleigh Quarry". The property boundaries of the existing property and the proposed expansion are shown on the enclosed USGS topographic Quadrangle map and USDA MRCS Soil Survey maps. I have also included the proposed site plan, which shows the locations of the proposed haul road with culvert locations, stormwater detention basins, wetland and stream impacts and the proposed area of excavation.

Wetlands were delineated in May 2005, according to United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidelines and the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual. The stream channels were determined to be jurisdictional using the DWQ stream determination checklists and the USACE Stream Assessment Method form. On March 21'% 2006, we met onsite with you, and on Apri12, 2006 I confirmed that the jurisdictional wetlands were in fact isolated from the jurisdictional stream channel located upstream. Accordingly, no USACE Nationwide Permit (NW) written concurrence is required as the %vet+lands to be sa ,..14,.,, iiapa"v ,wu are is"iunicu axw uhc Sirea[ii {;nannei Upstream W$S oeLermined not to have important aquatic functions or to be jurisdictional by the USACE. We are providing you with a copy of the PCN as a courtesy, for your files. On April 21, 2006, Eric Kulz of DWQ visited the subject site, and stated that only 292 linear feet of the 2100 linear feet of stream channel was jurisdictional. Approximately 185 linear feet of stream impacts are proposed in order to place culverts and outlet protection under the haul road and are shown on the PCN form. In September 2006, the survey of the jurisdictional wetland and streams was completed. The jurisdictional stream is shown on the site plan/survey as "start a" to "end a" and was measured as being 291.38 feet in length. The jurisdictional wetland area is also shown on the site plan/survey as 7l3 through 22A, with 2A through 21A showing the wetland impact area affected by construction of the revised haul road. The revised haul road was moved to avoid and minimize wetland impacts and the survey revised accordingly in March 2007. (See Attached Site Plan and Specification Sheet.) On September 15, 2005, an In -Lieu Fee Request form was faxed to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) to determine the availability of the appropriate stream, buffer and wetland mitigation. On September 16, 2005, the NCEEP responded with an acceptance letter to provide the necessary mitigation for. the subject property. The acceptance has since expired, but another request was faxed to NCEEP on May 8, 2007, requesting in -lieu fee acceptance for 477 linear feet of stream impacts and 69,932 square feet of buffer impacts. We are currently waiting for their acceptance letter.

It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower -impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Original_ siteplan impacted over 0.1 acres otwetdand, so haul road was relocated to minimize wetland impac ts. Topography and location of materials to be mined dictated haul and access road location. Impacts to existinlr stream and adiacent buffers avoided by maintai_ni� undisturbed forested buffer to stream Baud road must conform to sale design standards in terms ofslope, width and curves.Phased stormwater installation_wiil minimize stormwater impacts to water quality. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to r a '- 'lar 7 11550 tine__ Lrlet f tot..i is to i rresnwaiei wetland's Or gTGSLGi UlriLl or equal to 1JV ilLlGFiI 1GGl Vl WLiLi iliLpa%La LV p.:a eivaiva streams, USACE — In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application. lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at htt://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwctlands/strm ide.htmi. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan, The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, Page 10 of 13
