Their overall analysis of" biota most sensitive to sedimentation and other forms of pollution before construction and after site stabilization showed definite impacts from construction but higher abundance, richness, and diversity in streams where Orange County and Wake County had jurisdiction. Analysis ol, pollution sensitive communities Upstream before and al -Sire during construction (adjusted for seasonal fluctuations) showed little effect of, Sedimentation at sites in Orange County and Wake Courtly but a significant negative effect at sites under DENR Region IV jurisdiction. The scientists also interviewed personnel of the three erosion and sediment control programs as well as contractor personnel. They asked agency personnel about their approach to enforcement and their perception of contractor compliance with regulations, and they asked contractors about their knowledge of erosion and sediment control regulations and their perceptions of enforcement agencies. They found that Orange County takes a strict but flexible approach to enforcement. I rosion and sedimentation control officers in Orange County allow developerS to try innovalivc and Site - specific BMPs hill expect then to follow through and make sure the SME s work. They do not impose frequcnl penalties, but the penalties they do impose are often severe. The agency's internal capacity provides tlue tine and resources for attention to individual projects. DENR Region IV, the researchers say. takes a "by the book" approach to enforcement. Because of the large number of projects each inspector nnlSt cover, inspectors cannot spend much time on plan review or inspections and Cannot afford the extra lime rcquircd to work out site -specific controls. While DENR Region IV actively imposes penalties, the penalties are not severe. The investigators describe Wake County'S enforcement approach as "routine," Similar to DENR Region 1V, but note, Ihnl the wcc.kly inspection hours and plan review hours per officer in Wake County is lower than in Region IV, meaning that inspectors can visit sites more frequenfly.

The following items should be reviewed with the operator to ensure that problems are avoided at this site: (1) Although the frequency indicators for the storm flows considered VV l in the diversion channel design were cut off on my copy, I assume that the smallest flow considered was the 10 year 0 flow. Based on that, and using a conservative mannings nL value, it is estimated that the velocity in the upper reach of the channel (that appears to not be in rock) will be 5f s. The note on the nlan indicates that it is assumed %l that all channels not in rock will be grassed. The upper reach may be stable in established vegetation, but will D likely require a temporary liner. David's suggestion about adding a condition to address this item is understood, but this 5e" should have been addressed in the application. You normally require design at the 25 year storm level for such projects. 1�� QV �R Further, the need for temporary liners does not appear to be addressed for the culvert outlet channels into the diversion (they indicate a special stabilization detail on a sheet that was not included in our package). (2) Based again on the smallest flow considered in the report, and the channel slope indicated by the topo provided, the outlet velocity for the 10' culvert under the 10 year storm event is estimated at 10.9-11fps. By NYDOT standards, this would require a NCDOT Class 2 rip -rap apron at least 100 ft. long. Again, the normal design requirement would be the 25 year storm. They indicate that all outlet aprons are to flat areas with no defined channels; however, most culverts are discharging directly into channels and dissipators will need to be constructed with consideration of the flow transition. Thanks for the follow-up on the dam exemption decision. I have no problem with the rationale used; I had just raised the issue to ensure that we and the operator had all the bases covered. Please let me know what you would like to do about addressinq the above issues. I would be happy to assist with communication to the operator.

From that phone conversation I understand there are still some questions to be answered pertaining to: •- 1-the hazard classification of the pond dam, 2-the stability and proper design of the northern diversion channel, and 3-the configuration of the channel outlet structure. As we discussed by phone last Thursday, the daily vehicle trips across the subject dam will be on the order of five to ten round trios from the quarry stock -- pile yard to the concrete plant site. Obviously this is far less than the 250 vehicle trip limit which would require that the hazard rating on the dam be addressed.

As you requested I am enclosing the summary output data from the HEC II runs which address: 1-current conditions according to the currently existing FEMA flood study for the stream, i Mr. Tony Sample January 13, 1.997 Page 2 2-current conditions incorporating field -run cross sections of the existing channel, and 3-proposed channel configuration and. starting elevation. If concerns of channel adequacy remain after review of these summary data, may I suggest than in drafting the permit you write in a condition that the chan- nel be constructed according to the guidelines required by FEMA. Such a permit condition could be drafted so that suitable stabilization lining materials are re- quired in areas in which the channel is not excavated into sound bedrock. I believe the final concern raised is that provisions be made in construc- tion of the channel outlet structure to guard against the concentration of flow against the abutments. Such concentration of flow would potentially generate excessive erosive energy at the abutments. I am enclosing a revised plunge pool detail drawing which shows that provisions will be made to allow a minimum of one foot of freeboard for the "jetty stone" dams. Installed in such a manner, these dams will allow normal. stream flow to filter through the dams at low ve- locity. During storm events the flow will be centered in the outlet structure, L11e eVY PIULULL11% Llle dUULment areas itUlll tflublve IIVW.

One Dunwoody Park Suite 200 Atlanta, GA 30338 (770) 396-6999 'v FAX (770) 395-77$8 November 4, 1996 Floodplain Study for MINGO CREEK RELOCATION Purpose �lait� 51ow The Knightdale Quarry, operated by Wakestone Corporation, is located along Mingo Creek in WA County North Carolina. Wake tone Corporation is proposing an expansion of the quarry pit area. This expansion will require the relocation of Mingo Creek, which flows through the site. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hydraulic impact of the realignment and select a channel design which will not increase flood elevations upstream of the site, as well as provide a measure of flood protection for future quarry operations. The following report will present the methodologies used and summarize the results of the study. 0 Methodology The existing flood insurance study (FIS) data for Mingo Creek was developed by the US Geological Survey. The original study was completed in January 1975 using the Corps of Engineers HEC-2 Water Surface Profiles Program. In order to account for impacts of changes that may have been made to the channel since the initial HEC-2 run, a revised existing conditions model was developed to reflect current flood plain conditions on Mingo Creek. The revised model study reach extends from the north western corner of WakeRtone's property through the existing lake to the east of the existing quarry and the eastern most property line for the Kn ghtdale quarry. The revised existing conditions model was developed using a combination of new field run cross sections, site topography and the original HEC-2 model data. The Corps of Engineers HEC-2 Water Surface Profiles Program was used to perform the hydraulic analysis. The published FIS discharges and starting water surface elevations at the upstream study limit just upstream of the S]],"were ut; l7P.orKo . rrP7 u&aySJS. 1"i4jc rcvljC2 elev atlo_J WCIC used for comparison to evaluate the impact of the proposed channel location. N 61 The revised existing conditions model was then modified to reflect the proposed channel relocation Several alternatives were investigated, These included combinations of different channel geometry and increasing the permanent pool elevation for the lake located to the east of the quarry. The channel geometry selected is trapezoidal in shape and includes a 154 wide bottom. A schematic of the channel is provided below. 15' The channel is assumed to be grassed where not excavated in rock. Results The revised existing conditions model was developed to determine the 100 year flood profile for Mingo Creek under current existing flood plain conditions. The results of this analysis are shown in -Fable �o. l below for selected cross sections. These elevations vary somewhat from the current effective FIS study, as would be expected. The proposed conditions model results are shown in able iio.2. As indicated, the proposed channel relocation and increase in the lake's permanent pool elevation do not increase flood elevations upstream of the site. The channelization actually lowers upstream elevations even, though the channel length is increased.. This is due to the improved hydraulic efficiency of the uniform channel geometry.

It [� appears that most of the channel will be in rock. What about Q stabilization, particularly temporary, in the upstream portion that may not be in rock? - r The dissipator designs do not include the 101culvert.�_ 3) Caution should be expressed with respect to the proposed diversion channel outlet stabilization structure. The "jetty" devices need to be placed/shaped so that water will not be forced out of the armored section, resulting in potential erosion problems. (4) The existing dam on this site that is to be modified in this operation appears large enough to be covered under the Dam Safety Law. Although it only affects the company's property, �. it does discharge into areas where personnel and equipment f� are routinely present.. Shouldn't this dam therefore be K considered at least a low hazard structure subject to the pGr4-4-44-4-4 lllil_b1llg rGqulrGltiGJl a7: (5) DWQ/DAQ comments will be forwarded when available. I do not recommend approval until all identified issues have been addressed in the application. If here are any questions, please advise.

To the best of my knowledge the mining operations have not caused any adverse impacts to the groundwater and I am not aware of any "groundwater complaints" from adjacent landowners. Groundwater and run-off water is collected in a pit sump and is used as make-up water in the closed -loop wash system. Dewatering of the mine in the granitic rock and blasting activities should have no adverse impacts to the groundwater. According to the applicant, there are no known neighboring water supply wells in close proximity to the mine. Municipal water is available at and near the mine site. We have no objections to the permit being modified as proposed in the application.

I also appreciate you sending me a copy of Mr. Holley's comments by FAX earlier today. As we discussed by phone on December 271h we feel the issues raised by Mr. Holley are adequately addressed in the application materials, or by existing site conditions. As stated in the application materials, the design of the channel is such that it will safely pass the 100 year storm event according to the requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. We have in our files a copy of the required flood plain study competed by Blue Ridge Engineering, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia. This report provides the hydrological modeling to support the channel design, and is available for review if required. As the plans indicate and as Mr. Holley has acknowledged, we anticipate the majority of the channel length to be excavated into.sound bedrock, and therefore it will not.require a stabilization lining. Post -it" Fax Note 7671 To �h %1_�/ Date6.q 7 pages, 7- From --�, Co./Dept. Co. Phone # Phone # Fax # Fax # The 10' culvert that Mr. Halley refers to in his comments is in place in the existing channel. The culvert was placed on existing grade in the existing channel and provides ample cross sectional area to handle anticipated flows without concentrating flow energy. As such, no outlet or energy dissipater device is deemed necessary. This culvert will remain in place only during the construction of the new channel. Once flow is diverted from the pond into the new channel, the culvert will be removed. In regard to Mr. Holley's comments concerning the outlet structure and the need for caution with placement of the 'jetty" devices, it is our intention to construct the outlet device in such a manner as to disperse storm flow across the entire 100' width of the device. This dispersal of flow will lessen the energy of storm flows below levels necessary to displace the rip rap lining, thereby provid- ing non -erosive stability at the outlet. The existing pond dam at the eastern edge of the project area has been in place for more than thirty years with no instance of failure. Our intended widening and elevating of the dam will provide no more hazard to the quarry Operation and personnel than might currently exist. In fact, our improvements to the dam will make it far more substantial while raising the surface elevation }S of the impounded water only slightly. Should an instantaneous breach of the �J dam occur, the volume of water that would enter the quarry pit would be small in comparison to the total volume of the pit. (The pond surface area is approxi- mately six acres as compared to the 1.30 acre pit area.) I appreciate the opportunity to make these responses to the comments issued by Mr. Holley.

Approximately 42 acres of new land disturbing areas will be related to the construction of the new northern diversion channel, vegetated earthen berm, and associated haul/access ' roads. Approximately 10 acres of new pit expansion area immediately adjacent to the current northern pit wall will initially be activated. An additional 21 acre pit expansion area will be brought into production in phases over the next several years as needed. Provisions for locating a concrete plant area are also included in the requested permit modification. Approximately 6 acres of new land disturbing area will be affected by the concrete plant. Northern Diversion Channel ' The currently existing diversion channel located immediately adjacent to the northern limit of the pit will be relocated northward in order to facilitate access to stone reserves north or the existing pit area. The existing diversion is in ' part excavated channel and in part natural stream channel. The channel reach that extends from the pond outlet at the northeast corner of the existing pit to the farm access road crossing at the northwest corner of the existing pit is a long established excavated channel. The stream reach west of the farm access road crossing downstream to Beaverdam Creek is a natural stream channel. ■ The subject stream/channel appears on the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for Knightdale and Wake County. As such, FEM.A approval is ' required for the relocation of the channel. The channel must be designed to safely pass the 100 year storm event without affecting the 100 year flood elevation by more that one foot upstream or downstream of the project area. Wake Stone Corporation retained the services of Blue Ridge Engineering, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia to design the channel to FEMA specifications and make ■ application to FEMA for approval of the project. The channel alignment, gradients, and cross sectional configuration as shown in the accompanying Stream Relocation Plan and Sediment and Erosion ' Control Plan has been designed by Blue Ridge Engineering, Inc. to satisfy the FEMA requirement for stability. The E&SC Plan addresses erosion and ' sedimentation concerns that will arise in the construction of the channel, earthen berm and associated access/haul roads. Construction sequencing of E&SC measures and channel and berm construction are provided on the Plan. 1 *1 0 Vegetated Earthen Berm Spoil generated from the construction of the diversion channel will be used to construct an earthen berm that will be stabilized with vegetation. Through test borings it is suggested that a major portion of the channel length will need to be excavated into bed rock by drilling and blasting. The sound bedrock removed from the channel will be hauled to the in -pit crusher and added to quarry run production. The subsoil and decomposed granite bedrock which is unsuitable for production will be use to construct the barrier berm. As indicated in the accompanying vegetative stabilization plan, top soil will be added to areas of unsuitable soil before vegetative stabilization is installed. The berm, as detailed in the accompanying plans, will consist of 2:1. side slopes, a top width of approximately 10 to 12 feet, and will be approximately 12 to 15 feet in vertical height. The berm will provide not only visible buffering of the operation from the adjacent Forestville Road, but will also provide some measure of protection from inadvertent public entry into the quarry operation. Wetland Considerations Relocation of the existing channelized stream and nit expansion into jurisdictional wetland areas has been addressed in wetland permit applications filed with the NC Division of Water Quality and the US Army Corps of Engineers. Delineated wetland areas are shown on the 1"=200' Site Plan Maps. L_X r1 r71ovAl Vl LIIG llllpal.W liL1J VGCII �r allLGU %J Uoth regulatoryNgenC;W_s, VVILII NCDWQ requiring a Stream Relocation Mitigation Plan to address wetland losses associated with the project. DWQ will monitor the progress of the channel and final outcome from a stream wetlands perspective. Wake Stone Corporation will monitor those jurisdictional wetland areas downstream of the effected area as a condition of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification and Stream Relocation Mitigation Plan. Concrete Plant Site Wake Stone Corporation is currently negotiating with a local concrete producer for the option of locating a concrete plant on the 6 acre site designated on the accompanying plans. This six acre site will be leased to the concrete pro- ducer who will be responsible for filing and maintaining all necessary erosion control plans and permits, Storm Water Discharge Permits, and Air Quality Per- mits. Access for aggregate shipments to the concrete plant will be via a new haul road to be established across the northeast pond dam. To facilitate construction of this new road the pond darn will be widened according to the details and specification provided in the accompanying plans. Raising the existing pond dam will allow elevating the pond water surface to elevation 254'. Access across the new diversion channel will be by means of a culvert or bridge. Design of this crossing has not yet been finalized. • 171 1 • .0 ' Relocation of Mobile Equipment Maintenance Shop The modification application makes provisions for the relocation of the mobile equipment maintenance shop building to a 2.5 acre site immediately west of the plant and stockpile area. Two temporary sediment traps are provided for sediment detention during grading activities. Upon completion of grading of ' the site the area will be surfaced with crushed stone pavement. Planned Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures Erosion and sedimentation control for the expansion project will be provided by the structures detailed on the accompanying plans. Temporary ' graded diversions with stone check dams will divert surface runoff into tempo- rary sediment traps and Basin A which is to be installed at the outlet end of the diversion channel. Sediment detention structures are designed for 1800 cubic feet of sediment storage per acre of disturbed drainage area. Basin outlet structures are designed to safely pass the 25 year storm event. Properly sized outlet structures for the culverts under the berm will dissipate energy from the culvert flows. Grass -lined channels will convey culvert flow to the top of the channel cut slope where rip rap -lined flumes will transport the flow to the channel bottom. Temporary and permanent vegetative stabilization of disturbed areas will aid in erosion control. ' JCL.1uC11L,111� VI LIIC lilsLgllq LIV11 of the various LULJL- measures and vegeta- tive stabil1ization is provided in the accompanying plans. All structures will be maintained during the construction phase of the project. Basins will be cleaned ' and repaired as needed, or when they become one-half filled with sediment. Vegetative stabilization of disturbed area will be installed according to ' the specifications provided in the Plan. Final vegetative stabilization of the diversion channel bottom will be coordinated with the DWQ relative to the Stream Relocation Mitigation Plan. Reclamation Plan A "final" reclamation plan is inh-ntinnaliv ornith-d in the annliratinn materials. Ultimate pit development can not be anticipated at this time. As has always been the case, "reclamation" activities will be conducted concurrent with ' the development of the project. Such activities include permanent vegetative stabilization of disturbed area, providing safety benches at the toe of overburden cut slopes, and providing stable linings for surface runoff channels. Upon completion of the northern diversion channel, sediment Basin A at the outlet end ' of the diversion channel will be converted into the outlet structure/plunge pool detailed in the plan. ■ ■ North Carolina Mining Permit � Application ■ ■ ■ State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources ■ Land Quality Section ■ ■ PO Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 (919) 733-4574 ■ ■ F.

Lime and Fertilizer - Liming and/or fertilization will be conducted in accordance with soil test results and as required for vegetation planned for the site. Seedbed Preparation - Lime and fertilizer will be mixed with the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches where conventional equipment can be used. on slopes steeper than 2:1, soils will be grooved or scarified along the contour to provide for retention of seeds and nutrients on the slope until germination and growth is started. on steep slopes not accessible to machinery, seed and nutrients will be applied by hand. Page 12 of 12 vegetation -- Sericea Lespedeza and/or Weeping Lovegrass will be established on the site to provide ground cover and erosion control. When using Sericea Lespedeza, scarified seed will be applied when reclamation is conducted during spring months and unscarified seed used during the fall. Application will be in a uniform manner either by machine or hand at the rate of about 50 pounds Lovegrass, Lespedeza, or a combination per acre. Seed will be covered to a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch and the soil then firmed with a cultipacker or similar equipment. Mulch consisting of dry, unchopped small grain straw or similar type material will be spread evenly over the surface at a rate of 1 to 2 tons per acre or until about 75 percent of the soil is hidden. Loblolly Pine seedlings will be planted at selected sites to provide a visual screen and to provide revegetation. Spacing will be about 41x 4' for revegetation purposes. Maintenance - Plant replacement and other maintenance that may be required to establish vegetative cover appropriate to the reclamation plan for this site will be carried out until veaetation is properly established. 4. Reclamation Plan: Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In any event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or termination of mining of any mine segment under permit.

The Knightdale Quarry was opened in 1970 to supply crushed stone products to the eastern portion of Raleigh and Wake County. A second quarry was opened in northern Lee County., near the town V J.

A third quarry, the Triangle Quarry, was opened near Cary in 1982. A fourth quarry, the'Nash County Quarry became fully operational in May of 1991 near the community of Gold Rock in northern Nash County. Wake Stone Corporation produces a wide variety of crushed stone products at each of its operating quarries. Stone sizes to be used in the asphalt and concrete industries, road base material, and rip rap for erosion control and landscaping are available at each quarry. STONE SIZES PRODUCED AND END USES "ABC" or "Aggregate Base Course" ABC is composed of a blend of stone sizes ranging from dust -sized particles up to'1 1/2" fragments. This material is used primarily tias a Dase for asphalt anid concrete pavernen Es . Screenings Screenings are finely crushed stone resembling sand - commonly called manufactured sand. Screenings are combined with other stone and asphalt to manufacture asphalt pavement for roads, parking lots, and driveways. Approximately 700 of asphalt is screenings. #5 or #57 #5 and #57 stone ranges in size from 1/2" to 1" and is used in septic tank and drain line installation, as well as occassionally being used as a base for concrete slabs. #67 stone ranges in size from 3/8" to 3/4" and is used in the manufacturing of concrete for roads, driveways, and other paving applications. Approximately 2/3 of a cubic yard of concrete is #67 stone. #78M #78 stone ranges in size from approximately 1/10" to 3/8" and is used in combination with screenings to make asphalt. #78 stone is commonly called "pea gravel" and is also used for decorative purposes such as walkways. Page 2 ##14 stone ranges in size from approximately 1/20" to 1/4" and is use in the manufacturing of concrete blocks - "cinder blocks". Rip Rap Rip Rap is made in several sizes ranging from individual pieces weighing from as little as 5 pounds to as much as several thousand pounds. Rip rap is used for erosion control and landscaping. CCnnl nnir of t-ha Kni ght-rial n (l�iarr�r vThe~Knightdale+Quarry is located within the 270 to 320 million year old Rolesville granitic pluton. The stone being quarried is pink and grey banded granite, which locally within the quarry pit has a gneissic texture. Fractures and joints are common in the deposit, and several diabase dikes of varying thickness cross the pit from south to north. Simplified description of the Quarrying process '7'ho nrnrliir•t i nn of r-riichcri ctnno honi nc in 4-he rnia7-rir ni F wham a compressed air drill drills a series of 3 1/2" diameter blast holes. The holes are arranged in a specific pattern to optimize the breakage of the rock from the explosive charge loaded into the holes. The. holes are wired together in a fashion such that not all holes are blasted at the exact same instant. Blasting delays in the range of thousandths of a second assist in producing a blast that merely breaks the rock to a manageable size without creating unnecessary ground vibration or noise. The "shot rock" is loaded into large haul trucks and hauled to the primary crusher. The primary crusher reduces the "quarry run" material to approximately football -size pieces. This is then transferred out from the pit by conveyor where it will be further reduced in size by the secondary plant. The secondary plant consists of a series of smaller crushers, screens, and conveyor belts that allow the stone to be crushed and screened to the various sizes described above. From the secondary plant the stone is transferred to the stockpiles, either by truck or conveyor. Customers' trucks are loaded by front-end loader and then weighed at the scale house. Page 3 Summary Quarries are often misunderstood and unappreciated, when in fact they are very necessary. Statistics show the annual per capita consumption of crushed stone products to be 7 to 8 tons. That is, 7 to 8 tons used annually for every man, woman, and child. That adds up to our society requiring a large quantity of quality crushed stone to enable us to build the roads, bridges, buildings, homes, shopping centers, and other structures we often take for granted. Wake Stone Corporation appreciates the interest you have shown in our industry by visiting our Knightdale Quarry. We hope that through your visit you have gained a better appreciation of the crushed stone industry.

However, I offer the following additional comments for clarification and your consideration: (1) The acreage to be permitted may need to be looked at carefully. It appears to be much larger than on previous applications. The affected acreage, however, is consistent with the last application and ARR. (2) I noted that this application indicates that the owners manage forestry and other activities on the property beyond the affected acreage. we should warn them that land - disturbing activities cannot be performed on acreage covered by a mining permit without our approval..

Box 190 Knightdale, N.C. 27545 919/266-1100 RE: Review of Knightdale Quarry Mining Permit Renewal Application Dear Mike: I appreciate you sending me a copy of your Memorandum to Ms. Susan Edwards dated August 4, 1993 relative to your review of the subject application. I was somewhat surprised by your comment concerning "wetlands in the expansion area". From our phone conversation of August 4, 1993 I thought it was clear that this is simply a renewal application, and that no expansion areas are being requested at this time. As we discussed on the phone, the expansions shown on the site plan have previously been addressed in permit modifications which your office provided comment on after you visited the site. Your comment to Ms. Edwards that the Commission feels a determination should be made as to the extent of wetlands in the expansion area leaves me to believe that either you prepared your memo to Ms. Edwards prior to our phone conversation, or that there still exists a misunderstanding about the.content of the applica- tion. As I informed you on the phone, impacts to wetlands in the previously permitted expansion areas were addressed in a DEM 401 Water Quality Certification and a USACE predischarge notification for impacts of less than one acre associated with channel -only areas of a wet weather drainage. Mr. Mike Scruggs August 6, 1993 Page 2 I appreciate your call of August 4, 1993 and your comments on the application. I hope I have clarified any misunderstanding you may have about our permit renewal application. If not, please give me a call at our Knightdale office.

The Wildlife Resources Commission feels that impacts to wildlife resources from this project will consist of direct and permanent loss of upland wildlife habitats since the expansion area will apparently be a lake afterwards. The Wildlife Commission also feels that a determination should be made as to the extent of existing wetlands in the expansion area, as well as the impacts of removal of these wetlands to off -site areas(this may have been done since this is a renewal request).

We are proud of our record of having operated the site not only for the past ten year permit period, but for the past 23 years, without invoking any of the seven denial criteria listed in the Act (G.S. 74-51). State and Federal permitting and required monitoring under the NPDES and Air Quality programs ensure that the operation will not have an adverse effect on wildlife or fisheries, or violate any air or water quality standards. The screening of the quarry oper- ation by vegetated earthen berms and vegetative buffers provides adequate buffering to prevent any significantly adverse effects on the purpose of the neighboring residences and businesses. The quarry's isolation from houses, schools, churches, hospitals, com- mercial or industrial buildings, public roads, or other such pro- perties prevents any physical hazard to any such structures or pro- perties. Mr. Tony S.

Site Preparation Land surfaces will be graded and/or shaped as necessary to create lines and grades applicable to the planned subsequent use of the land. Slopes in unconsolidated material will be graded to stable gradients not to exceed one horizontal to one vertical (1:1). Loose rocks, woody material, and other obstructions that would interfere with the establishment of vegetation will be re- moved and either buried or properly disposed of off -site. Surface runoff will be controlled by use of diversions and terraces to allow discharge through protected outlets. Seed bed Preparation Lime and fertilizer will be incorporated with the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches on areas and slopes where conventional equipment can be used. On slopes steeper than 2:1, soils will be scarified along the contour for seed and nutrient retention. Lime and fertilizer will be applied according to soil tests for the areas being re -vegetated, generally at a rate of 1,000 lbs. of 10- 10-10 and 2,000 lbs. of lime per acre. Newly seeded areas will be mulched with small grain straw spread evenly over the surface at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 tons per acre. On steep slopes not accessible to seeding equipment, seed, nutrients, and mulch will be applied by hand - Re -vegetation Species Typical seed mixtures to be utilized include: fescue -rye grain, fescue -rye grain-lespedeza, fescue-lespedeza, bahiagrass- lespedeza, bahiagrass-lespedeza-native warm season grasses, and warm season grasses-Kobe/Korean-clover. Lespedeza species used may include Kobe, Korean, Sericea, or Bi-color. Warm season grasses used may include Indian grass, switch grass, and blue stem. Clover species used may include ladino white clover or crimson clover. Fall or early spring plantings will utilize 100 lbs. fescue and 50 lbs. rye grain per acre to be planted. Late spring plantings in certain areas may include up to 40 lbs. Kobe/Korean lespedeza per acre where desirable to supplement natural deer browse. Native warm season grasses will be utilized in combination with Kobe or Korean lespedeza for enhancing wildlife feeding and nesting areas. Sericea lespedeza will be utilized at a rate of 20 to 40 lbs. per acre in combination with fescue when planting excessively draughty soils or steep slopes. Clover will be added to deer browse areas at a rate of 10 lbs. per acre in fall or early spring plantings. When using lespedeza species in fall plantings, non -scarified seed will be used. Scarified seed will be used in spring plantings. When using clover in wildlife plantings, inoculated seed will be used. Loblolly pine and red cedar seedlings will be planted at selected sites to provide visual screens and to provide reforestation. Seedlings will be planted on a 4' by 4' pattern. Plant replacement or maintenance will be undertaken as necessarv. 13 A • • APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT G.

(2) In that the new plant site is proposed for operation within the permitted mine site, any specific plans prepared by Metromont must be submitted for our approval and must conform to the conditions of the mining permit. In light of this fact, I am concerned about proposed land -disturbing activities along the south and southeast boundaries as depicted on the Metromont site plan. The activity is proposed to extend to a point less than 40' from the south property line and apparently all the way to the southeast property line. In addition, it appears that an additional entrance is proposed at the southeast corner. These encroachments need to be given serious consideration in our review of this application. I think that additional buffer may be in order, and the information provided is not sufficient to address another access to the mine. I'm not sure that Wake Stone realizes they are responsible for the entire operation under their mining permit. (3) DEM comments are attached. If there are any questions, please advise.

November 3 1992 SUBJECT: Modification to Mining Permit No. 92-6 Wake Stone Corporation Knightdale Quarry Dear Mr. Davis: Wake Stone Corporation's Knightdale Quarry has the unique opportunity to possibly host a temporary precast concrete operation for the manufacture of precast concrete beams to be used in the renovation of a local shopping mall's parking deck. As such, we realize a modification to the mining permit is required for the �. 9 l- J disturbing L_ CIUUII.IorICII IClf1U UIStI,IfUlfiy a(:tivltl$$. Enclosed are two copies of a Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan addressing the anticipated land disturbing activities associated with Preoarinq the site for the concrete operation and the relocation of the existing bone yard at Knightdale Quarry. If the concrete operation becomes a reality, the producer will be generating their own E & S C Plan tailored specifically to their impacts to the land. Their Plan will be filed with Wake County as part of their construction permit, and will be made available to your office if necessary. Also enclosed is our permit modification application processing fee check in the amount of $250.00. Please review the enclosed E & S C Plan and modify the Knightdale Quarry Mining Permit (No 92-6 ) to reflect these changes. Please call me at 266-1100 if I can provide additional information or answer any questions about the requested modification. Sincerely, Wake Stone Corporation David F. Lee DFL/ Enclosures ` �0 Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan A, �V Wake Stone Corporation .S`,� Knightdale Quarry Modification to Mining Permit No. 92-6 s eC �X ti NARRATIVE Protect Description The purpose of this requested modification to Mining Permit No. 92-6 is two -fold. Wake Stone Corporation's Knightdale Quarry is in a position to temporarily host a pre -cast concrete operation for the manufacture of pre -cast concrete beams for the renovation of a local shopping mall parking deck. In temporarily locating the pre -cast operation on site we will need to clear and grade approximately 12 acres of plantation pine and mixed hardwood timber surrounding our currently active "bone yard" area. This will require us to prepare a new "bone yard" area. The new 1.7 acre bone yard will be located on the eastern edge of the property adjacent to our water truck fill -up reservoir. It is our intention with this requested modification to clear and rough grade the pre -cast operation site after having installed the required erosion and sedimentation control structures. The pre -cast concrete producer will generate and implement their own erosion and sedimentation control plan tailored to their specific impacts to the land. Their plan will be filed with Wake County as part of their construction permit. The producer will be responsible for acquiring any and all other necessary permits such as Air Quality permits and water discharge permits. The new bone yard site will be for long term usage. As such, special provisions will be made to adequately stabilize the land surface and access road. We anticipate a crushed stone surface treatment of the access road and vegetative stabilization of the bone yard area. Sediment detention structures will be constructed and stabilized such that they can be adequately maintained during the life of the bone yard area. Site Description The project site is located totally within the acreage covered by Mining Permit No. 92-6, and owned by Wake Stone Corporation. The 11.8 acre site to be disturbed and impacted by the pre -cast concrete operation consists of approximately 25 year old plantation moos- nnel matiira miynA nin© anti h,awrrrJwnnH forest The 1 _ 7 af:t"e new bone yard site consist of a few 30 to 35 year old pine left as seed trees following a timber harvest in the past and dense gum/poplar under story. Slopes in the area of the proposed concrete operation average approximately 4 percent, with those in the new bone yard area also averaging approximately 4 percent. Knightdale Quarry Mining Permit Modification Page 2 Soils Information The soils in the area of the pre -cast operation are mapped a Durham, Louisburg, and Appling in 8 and C slope classes. As such they can be expected to exhibit good infiltration rates and medium to rapid surface runoff. Soils in the area of the new bone yard area are mapped as Appling in C slope class. Similar infiltration and runoff rates are to be anticipated. PLANNED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PRACTICES Temporary Sediment Traps Temporary sediment traps (TST 92-1 through 92-6) will be constructed in the locations indicated on the Site Plan. The basins have been designed using 1800 cu. ft. of storage capacity per acre of disturbed land. Design calculations and typical construction detail drawings are provided. Graded _Ditch/Compacted Earth Dike Diversions Graded ditch/compacted earth dike diversions will be con- structed and stabilized with vegetation. The diversions will be maintained to direct sediment laden runoff to the sediment detention structures. Vegetative Stabilization of Disturbed_ Surfaces The new bone yard site will be provided vegetative cover consisting of a mixture of rye grain and fescue grass. Soil amendments will be applied according to the vegetation plan at the time of planting. Similiar vegetative cover will be established in the pre -cast operation site whenever is feasible. Vegetative stabilization of the plant site will be provided immediately following clearing and grubbing if at that time it appears there will be a significant time delay prior to construction of the concrete operation. If the concrete operation begins in a timely fashion, vegetative stabilization of the disturbed area will be delayed and made a condition of the operation's reclamation plan. VEGETATION PLAN Vegetative cover will be provided all disturbed areas as timely as possible. Late fall or winter plantings will consist of rye grain and tall fescue (or other cool --season grasses). Late winter or spring plantings will consist of rye grain as a nursery crop and a mixture of annual lespedeza (Kobe or Korean) and warm -season grasses (bahiagrass, switchgrass, little bluestem, etc.). Soil amendments will be applied at the time of seeding at the following rates: pelletized lime at 2000 lbs. per acre 10-10-10 fertilizer at 1000 lbs per acre. rrc� ca sz c.o�.iC.�T E �E RAT caN �rT� �5EDIMEQ7- 3ASitJ DE$16�J (° Il-dul,4TICQS T-EMPaP-Ar-( SEDimwr rRAP d-- gz -1 -_ -i' .DET�RMiNIc �Ecou�RED B,QS�r.1 Vol-+.IME _-_-- MAN.

Loose rock, woody material, an ' other UbStrLlC l I Ufl LI'lha L w l l l I interfere I eT'e w I LFI Ule esLab l 13h11lell L o I vegetaiton planned for the site will be removed and/or buried. Surface runoff that might concentrate to cause undesirable erosion will be controlled by terraces or diversions diverting water to protected outlets. Lime and Fertilizer - Liming and/or fertilization will be conducted in accordance with soil test results and as are required for vegetation planned for the site. Seedbed Preparation - Lime and fertilizer will be mixed with the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches where conventional equipment can be used. On slopes stepper than about 2:1, soils will be grooved or scarified along the contour to provide for retention of seeds and nutrients on the slope until germination and growth is started. On steep slopes not accessible to machinery, seed and nutrients will be applied by hand. Vegetation - Sericea Lespedeza and/or Weeping Lovegrass will be established on the site to provide ground cover and erosion control. When using Sericea Lespedeza scarified seed will be applied when reclamation is conducted during spring months and unscarified seed used during the fall. Application will be in a uniform manner either by machine or hand at the rate of about 50 pounds Lovegrass, Lespedeza, or combination per acre. Seed will be covered to a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch and the soil then firmed with a cultipacker or similar equipment. Mulch consisting of dry, unchopped small grain straw or similar type material will be spread evenly over the surface at the rate of 1 to 2 tons per acre or until about 75 percent of the soil is hidden. Loblolly Pine seedlings will be planted at selected sites to provide a visual screen and to provide revegetation. Spacing will be about 4' x 4' for revegetation purposes. Page 10 of 10 Maintenance - Plant r-ep l aceiient and other maintenance that may be r e-qu i red to estab ish vegetative cover appropriate to the reclamation plan for this site will be carried out until vegetation is properly established. 4. Reclamation Plan: Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In any event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or termination of mining of any mine segment under permit. Final reclamation, including revegetation, shall be completed within two years of completion or termination of mining.

After I had reviewed the original submittal; David -Lee -and I discussed my review comments (a copy of the phone log is enclosed) and he submitted revised information that was received in this office on September 6, 1990 (a copy of the revision is also enclosed). We have completed our review of the proposed expansion and offer the following comments for your consideration: L/) The existing sediment basin 1 and trap 2 were accepted in the field by Gerry, and should be accepted for the proposed project with performance reservations. The effectiveness of the rock dam will be marginal, and the condition of these existing measures must be reviewed in the field. I will have Tim do this as soon as possible. ,U2) The diversion channel design appears adequate. t 4 L(,T) No construction should begin at the dam or new pit access road until a detailed design for these facilities has been reviewed and approved. 6A'f Construction of trap/3and the new pit access road may not begin until the damstruction is substantially complete. \\ - !- ( - Uri`) y.�GL ''- ! pv N � If there are any questions, please adviser JLH 0- L 4 N.C.

Bratton Dear Mr. Bratton: March 27, 1990 RE: Knightdale Quarry, 92--6 Wake County Enclosed is a copy of the inspection report for the annual inspection of the referenced mine conducted by this office with Mr. David Lee of your firm on March 27, 1990. During the inspection , Mr. Lee pointed out the newly cleared area south of the existing plant and mentioned that it was going to be used for a new lake and new stockpiles. Also, a relocated haul road and expansion of the pit was discussed. While the entire property is permitted under your permit, operating condition 4b of your permit as amended March 6, 1987 clearly states that no new land disturbing activity is to begin until a plan has been submitted and approved. Due to the installation of a rock dam and a filter basin, off - site sedimentation has not been a problem. However, to bring the site into compliance with the Mining Act, a revised plan must be submitted for approval before continuing the installation of the new revisions. The plan should show all additions, revisions and supporting calculations as necessary to ensure stabilization of the newly affected area. Also, it appears that a Dam Safety Permit will be required for the new dam. If the dam will be 15 feet in height and impound 10 acre feet of water, a permit is required before any construction associated with the dam can begin. 3800 &.rrett Drive.

OPERATING CONDITIONS: 1. Any wastewater processing or mine dewatering shall be in accordance with permit requirements and regulations promulgated by the Division of Environmental Management. 2. Any mining process producing air contamination emissions shall. be subject to the permitting requirements and regulations promulgated by the Division of Environmental Management. 3. Sufficient buffer shall be maintained between any affected land and any adjoining waterway to prevent sedimentation of that waterway from erosion of the affected land and to preserve the integrity of the natural watercourse. 4a. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions, earthen dikes, brush barriers, silt check dams, silt retarding structures, rip rap pits, or ditches shall be provided in the initial stages of any land disturbance and maintained to prevent sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake or natural watercourse in proximity to the affected land. °ram b. A comprehensive Erosion/Sediment Control Plan shall be submitted to and !� approved by the Department prior to initiating any land disturbing activity into either Phase One or Phase Two Expansion Areas as they have been delineated on the Proposed Expansion map dated 1/87. 5. The angle for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle which can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control measure, structure, or device. In any event, exposed slopes or any excavated channels, the erosion of which may cause offsite damage because of siltation, shall be planted or otherwise provided with ground cover; devices or structures sufficient to restrain Rich arnGinn, 6. The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of water that are, or likely to become, noxious or foul. Necessary structures such as drainage ditches or conduits shall be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions. 7. The following blasting conditions shall be observed by the operator to prevent hazard to persons and adjacent property from thrown rock or vibrations: A. In all blasting operations, except as hereinafter otherwise provided, the maximum peak particle velocity of any component of ground motion shall. not exceed 1 inch per second at the immediate location of any building regularly occupied by human beings such as dwelling house, church, school, public building, or commercial or institutional building. B. Airblast overpressure shall. not exceed 128 decibels linear (dBL) as measured at the immediate location of any regularly occupied building such as any dwelling house, church, school, public building, or commercial or institutional building. C. The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to insure that flyrock is not thrown beyond areas where the access is temvorarily or permanently guarded by the operator. Should flyrock occur beyond the guarded area, it shall be reported to the Department immediately, who will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause. Failure to take corrective measures to prevent flyrock and repeated instances of flyrock shall be considered a violation of the permit. D. Operator shal.l. maintain records on each individual blast describing: the total number of holes; pattern of holes; depth of holes; total pounds of explosives; maximum pounds per delay interval; amount of stemming and burden for each hole; and blast location. Records shall be maintained at the permittee's mine office and copies shall be provided to the Department.upon request. E. Operator shall, when requested by the Department, give 24 hour advance notice to the Land Quality Section prior to any blast during a period for which notice is requested. 8. Sufficient buffer shall be maintained between any excavation and any adjoining property line or right-of-way to prevent caving of that property and to allow grading of the sideslopes to the required angle. 9. A physical barrier consisting of a fence or boulder barriers, etc., shall be maintained around the perimeter of any highwall. 10. Existing vegetation or vegetated earthen berms shall be maintained between the mine and public thoroughfares whenever practical to screen the operation from the public. 11. An Annual Reclamation Report shall be submitted on a form supplied by the Department on February 1 of each year until reclamation is completed and approved. 12. The operator shall notify the Department in writing of the desire to delete, modify or otherwise change any part of the mining, reclamation, or erosion/sediment control plan contained in the approved application for a mining permit. Approval to implement such changes must be obtained from the Department prior to on -site implementation of the revisions. 13. The security which was posted pursuant to N.C.G.S. 74-54 in the form of is sufficient to cover the operation as indicated on the approved application. This security must remain in force for this permit to be valid. The total affected land shall not exceed the bonded acreage. 14. Authorized representatives of the Division of Archives and History shall. be granted access to the site to determine the presence of significant archaeological resources. r Seedbed_ Preparation - Lime and fertilizer will be mixed with the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches where conventional equipment can be used. On slopes steeper than about 2:1. soils will be grooved or scarified along the contour to provide for retention of seeds and nutrients on the slope until germination and growth is started. On steep slopes not accessible to machinery, seed and nutrients will be applied by hand. Vegetation - Sericea Lespedeza and/or Weeping Lovegrass will be established on the site to provide ground cover and erosion control. When using Sericea Lespedeza scarified seed will be applied when reclamation is conducted during spring months and unscarified seed used during the fall. Application will be in a uniform manner either by machine or hand at the rate of about 50 pounds Lovegrass, Lespedeza, or combination per acre. Seed will be covered to a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch and the soil then firmed with a cultipacker or similar equipment. Mulch consisting of dry, unchopped small grain straw or similar type material will be spread evenly over the surface at the rate of 1 to 2 tons per acre or until about 75 percent of the soil is hidden. Loblolly Pine seedings will be planted at selected sites to provide a visual screen and to provide revegetation. Spacing will be about 4' x 4' for revegetation ntirnnses- Maintenance - Plant replacement and other maintenance that may be required to establish vegetative cover appropriate to the reclamation plan for this site will be carried out until vegetation is properly established. 4. Reclamation Plan: Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In any event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or termination of mining of any mine segment under permit. Final. reclamation, including revegetation, shall be completed within two years of completion or termination of mining. Permit issued this the /O '-�y day of h7R4Ck 199 Stephen C.

Provided further, and subject to the Reclamation Schedule, the planned reclamation shall be to allow the quarry excavation to fill with ground water, barricade along the top of any highwall, and grade and revegetate any areas in unconsolidated material. The site will be reclaimed -.to a condition suitable for wildlife indigenous to the area or.for future development. 2. The specifications for surface gradient restoration to a surface suitable for the planned future use are as follows: - A. All areas of unconsolidated material such as overburden or waste piles shall be graded to a 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter slopes and terraced as necessary to insure slope stability. B. Any settling ponds or sediment basins shall either be backfilled and stabilized or cleaned out an& made into acceptable lakes. C. The processing, stockpile, and other disturbed areas neighboring the mine excavation shall be leveled and smoothed. Compacted surfaces shall be disced, subsoiled or otherwise prepared before revegetation. D. Any diverted and disturbed stream channels shall be restored and/or stabilized. E. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions, earthen dikes, brush barriers, silt check dams, silt retarding -structures, rip rap pits, or.ditches shall be.provided in the initial stages of any land disturbance to prevent sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake or natural watercourse in proximity to the affected land. F. The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of water that are, or are likely to bec n e, noxious or.foul. Necessary structures such as drainage ditches. or conduits snail be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions. otat Revegeion Plan Site Preparation - The ground will be graded and/or shaped where necessary keeping in mind the ultimate use of the site. Loose rock, woody material, and other obstruction that will interfere with the establishment of vegetation planned for the site will be removed and/or buried. Surface runoff that might concentrate to cause undesirable erosion will be controlled by terraces or diversions diverting water to protected outlets. Lime and Fertilizer - Liming and/or fertilization will be conducted in accordance with soil test results and as are required for vegetation planned for the site. Page 7 of 7 Seedbed Preparation - Lime and fertilizer will be mixed with the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches where conventional equipment can be used. On slopes steeper than about 2:1, soils will be grooved or scarified along the contour to provide for retention of seeds and nutrients on the slope until gemination and growth is started. On steep slopes not accessible to machinery, seed and nutrients will be applied by hand. Vegetation - Sericea Lespedeza and/or Weeping Lovegrass will be established on the site to provide ground cover and erosion control. When using Sericea Lespedeza scarified seed will be applied when reclamation is conducted during spring months and unscarified seed.used during the fall. Application will be in a uniform.manner either by machine or hand at the rate of about 50 pounds Lovegrass, Lespedeza, or combination per acre. Seed will be covered to a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch and the soil then finned with a cultipacker or similar equipment. Mulch consisting of dry, unchopped small grain straw or similar type material will be spread evenly over the surface at the rate of 1 to 2 tons per acre or until about 75 percent of the soil is hidden. Loblolly-Pine seedlings will be planted at selected sites to provide a visual screen and to provide revegetation. Spacing will be about 4' x 4' for revegetation purposes. Maintenance -.Plant replant and other maintenance that may be required to establish vegetative cover appropriate to the reclamation plan for this site will be carried out until vegetation is properly established. 4. Reclamation Plan: Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In any event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or termination of mining of any mine segment under permit. Final reclamation, including revegetation, shall be ccrpleted within two years of completion or termination of mining. Permit issued this the- 2 9114 day of S % 19e3. Stephen G.

Bratton, President Wake Stone Corporation PO Box 190 Knightdale, N.C. 27545 S. Thomas Rhodes, Secretary RE: Knightdale Quarry Wake County Dear Mr. Bratton: This letter is in -follow-up to our inspection of the subject site on June 28, 1988. During our inspection, the following items were discovered which deserve your attention, 1. Operating conditions #3 and #4 addressing buffer and mechanical barriers are not being met. As a result, the area below the dumpster area and the northwest stockpile area is experiencing off -site sedimentation. Also, the farm road that is in the same area is conveying sediment off -site due to a lack of mechanical barriers. 2. Operating condition 09 (physical barrier around highwalls) is not being completely met. Some type of physical barrier must be provided around the quarry to prevent inadvertant entry. If large boulders are to be used, they must be placed touching adjacent boulders so that a continuous barrier is formed. Other barriers may be used such as fencing. A minimum of three strand barbed wire fence approximately 48 inches high will be acceptable. These items were discussed on the site with Mr. David Lee. The site will be reinspected 30 days after your receipt of this letter or on or about August 25, 1988 to determine if the mine is being operated within the limits of the operating conditions of your permit #92-6. 3800 Barrm Drive, P.O.

Lee DFL/df 1 Enclosures RECEIVED AUG 02 i5�ju LAND nP.IALITY SEC+ION Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan Wake Stone Corporation Knightdale Quarry Modification to Mining Permit No. 92-6 NARRATIVE Project Description The purpose of this requested modification to Mining Permit No. 92-6 is for the construction of a new process water reservoir to compliment the planned new secondary plant construction, and to initiate expansion of the quarry pit into two expansion areas. Approximately 18 acres are to be disturbed during the reservoir and dam construction phase of the project. The impoundment structure will be subject to the NC Dam Safety Act. As such, design and permitting of the structure is currently underway by engineering consultants retained by Wake Stone Corp. In relocating the existing process water reservoir and settling ponds, approximately 10 acres of high quality stone reserves will be made available for mining (Pit Expansion Area 1 on Site Plans). An additional 25 acres of pit expansion area along the western side of the existing pit area is to be activated (Pit Expansion Area 2 on Site Plans). This 25 acre area is the Phase I Expansion Area in Wake Stone's long range expansion plans as has been illustrated on annual reclamation report maps for Knightdale Quarry for the past several years. With the planned constuction of the new secondary plant and reconfiguration of the stockpile area, the scales, office, and associated parking area will also be relocated to establish a more efficient customer traffic flow pattern. Customer traffic will enter Lr1C stockpile area by way of' the eX i 5tr Fig access road. After being loaded, weighed, and given their load ticket, customers will exit the scales area on the planned new scales exit road. Knightdale Quarry Permit Modification Page 2 Site Description The project site is located totally within the acreage covered by Mining Permit No. 92-6, and owned by Wake Stone Corporation. The approximate 18 acres of area to be disturbed and impacted by the reservoir and dam construction consists of approximately 14 acres of mixed pine and hardwood forest that has been clearcut harvested, and approximately 4 acres of open agricultural land. An intermittant stream flows through the area proposed for filling for stockpiles and plant and reservoir construction. The proposed fill and reservoir construction has been approved by the USAGE and NCDEM relative to impact on less than one acre of wetlands associated with the intermittant stream. A copy of NCDEM's 401 Water Qual i ty Certi f i cati on and the USACE' s f i 11 permi t i s i ncl uded in the supporting data for this permit modification request. Slopes in the area proposed for dam and reservoir construction range from 3 to 9 percent along the side slopes of the intermittant stream. Slopes in the predominantly agricultural 25 acre Pit Expansion Area 2 range from 2.5 to 13 percent with the steeper slopes covered by mixed hardwood forest vegetation. The 10 acre Pit Expansion Area 1 is relatively flat and currently occupied by the process water reservoir and settling ponds, as well as stockpiles of topsoil and overburden material. Soils The soils in the area of the dam and reservoir are mapped as Appling sandy loams in C slope classes (6-10%) and Wehadkee and Bibb in 0-2% slopes. Appling soils typically exhibit good infiltration rates and rapid surface runoff. The soils in the area of Pit Expansion Area 2 are mapped as Durham and Louisburg sandy loams. The Durham soils are of slope class 8 (2-6%) with the Louisburg soils of slope classes C (6-10%) and D (10-15%). Durham and Louisburg soils both exhibit good infiltration rates. Louisburg soils exhibit rapid runoff rates where Durham soils exhibit mediun runoff rates. Knightdale Quarry Permit Modification Page 3 PLANNED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PRACTICES Sediment Basin 1 A rock dam sturcture was constructed at the northern limit of the area cleared for dam and reservoir construction. Sediment Basin 1 and Temporary Sediment Trap 2 were constructed with associated temporary diversions in order to direct all runoff from the disturbed to these two containment structures. Design details and supporting calculations are provided in the respective section of the plan. Temporary Sediment Trap 3 will be constructed along the northern side of the planned new pit access road prior to initiation of grading and filling associated with construction of the road. Design details and supporting calculations are provided in the respective section of the plan. Temporary Sediment Trap 4. will be constructed according to design plans and specifications prior to initiation of grading and filling QSSVCr I atCU w I l.fl l.flF3 relocation UT the UTT I C:e , :i[.:d 1 e5, drld PUT -k I r]y area. Temporary Diversions of the excavated channel/compacted soil dike type will be installed in association with the sediment detainment structures in order to minimize off -site sedimentation by directing all runoff from disturbed -areas to a sediment trap. Grass -Lined and Rip Rap -Lined Channel A diversion channel to direct runoff around the reservoir, plant and stockpile area, and Pit Expansion Area 2 will be constructed in phases prior to initiation of dam and reservoir construction, and pit expansion. In its upper reaches the channel will be constructed with a parabolic cross sectional configuration and will will be lined with bermudagrass. In its lower reaches where slope gradients are more severe, the channel will be constructed as a rip rap lined trapezoidal channel with a "pit run" rip rap energy dissipator at the outlet to the receiving stream. Knightdale Quarry Permit Modification Page 4 Phase I of the channel will consist of approximately 1800 linear feet of channel bypassing the reservoir area and discharging into the reservoir emergency spillway channel. Once Pit Expansion Area 2 is initiated {1 to 2 years), Phase II of the diversion channel will be completed with the upper reaches of Phase II being a parabolic grass lined channel, and the lower reach being a rip rap lined trapezoidal channel. Design details and specifications for the diversion channel are given in the section of supporting calculations. 0 RECEIVED -oF-- 67eG5?

Hamilton�d 691 „tA- Assistant Director SUBJECr: Modification Request from Wake Stone Corporation Knightdale Quarry - Mining Permit No. 92-06, Wake County, North Carolina The subject mining permit modification request has been reviewed by a professional biologist on the Wildlife Resources Commission staff. Although we have been unable to conduct an onsite investigation due to time and staff constraints, we believe that sufficient information is available to warrant certain comments. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the N. C. Mining Act of 1971 (G.S. 74-46 et seq., as amended). Based upon the information provided, it appears that the applicant is requesting a modification to permit 92-06 for construction of a new process water reservoir and pit expansion into two areas. Although the proposed modification appears to have potential for adverse impacts on wildlife resources, we have noted applicant's statement that all work is within the area previously permitted for mining. Rather than object to the modification request, we believe that it would be more prudent to request that the applicant's reclamation plan be opened for further review and modification. If this is not possible, please advise us and we will provide Your office with specific requests regarding the activities proposed in the modification request.

Approximately 18 acres are to be disturbed during the reservoir and dam construction phase of the project. The impoundment structure will be subject to the NC Dam Safety Act. As such, design and permitting of the structure is currently underway by engineering consultants retained by wake Stone Corp. In relocating the existing process water reservoir and settling ponds, approximately 10 acres of high quality stone reserves will be made available for mining (Pit Expansion Area 1 on Site Plans). An additional 25 acres of pit expansion -area along the western side of the existing pit area is to be activated (Pit Expansion Area 2 on Site Plans). This 25 acre area is'the Phase I Expansion Area in Wake Stone's long range expansion plans as has been illustrated on annual reclamation report maps for Knightdale Quarry for the past several years. With the planned constuction of the new secondary plant and reconfiguration of the stockpile area, the scales, office, and associated parking area will also be relocated to establish a more efficient customer traffic flow pattern. Customer traffic will enter the stockpile area by way of the existing access road. After being loaded, weighed, and given their load ticket, customers will exit the scales area on the planned new scales exit road. Knightdale Quarry Permit Modification Page 2 Site Description The project site is located totally within the acreage covered by Mining Permit No. 92-6, and owned by Wake Stone Corporation. The approximate 18 acres of area to be disturbed and impacted by the reservoir and dam construction consists of approximately 14 acres of mixed pine and hardwood forest that has been clearcut harvested; and approximately 4 acres of open agricultural land. An intermittant stream flows through the area proposed for filling for stockpiles and plant and reservoir construction. The proposed fill and reservoir construction has been approved by the USACE and NCDEM relative to impact on less than one acre of wetlands associated with the intermittant stream. A copy of NCDEM's 401 Water Quality Certification and the USACE's fill permit is included in the supporting data for this permit modification request. Slopes in the area proposed for dam and reservoir construction range from 3 to 9 percent along the side slopes of the . i me rmi ttant stream. Slopes in the predominantly agricultural 25 acre Pit Expansion Area 2 range from 2.5 to 13 percent with the steeper slopes covered by mixed hardwood forest vegetation. The 10 acre Pit Expansion Area 1 is relatively flat and currently occupied by the process water reservoir and settling ponds, as well as stockpiles of topsoil and overburden material. Soils The soils in the area of the dam and reservoir are mapped as Appling sandy loams in C slope classes (6-10%) and Wehadkee and Bibb in 0-2% slopes. Appling soils typically exhibit good infiltration rates and rapid surface runoff. The soils in the area of Pit.Expansion Area 2 are mapped as Durham and Louisburg sandy loams. The Durham soils are of slope class B (2-6%) with the Louisburg soils of slope classes C (6--10%) and D (10-15%). Durham and Louisburg soils both exhibit good infiltration rates. Louisburg soils exhibit rapid runoff rates where Durham soils exhibit mediun runoff rates. Knightdale Quarry Permit Modification Page 3 PLANNED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PRACTICES Sediment Basin 1 A rock dam sturcture was constructed at the northern limit of the area cleared for dam and reservoir construction. Sediment Basin 1 and Temporary Sediment Trap 2 were constructed with associated temporary diversions in order to direct all runoff from the disturbed to these two containment structures. Design details and supporting calculations are provided in the respective section of the plan. Temporary Sediment Trap 3 will be constructed along the northern side of the planned new pit access road prior to initiation of grading and filling associated with construction of the road. Design details and supporting calculations are provided in the respective section of the plan. Temporary Sediment Trap.4 will be constructed according to design plans and specifications prior to initiation of grading and filling associated with the feIuc:.aLiorl of file ofT 1c::e, stales, ClfId parklrig area. Temporary Diversions of the excavated channel/compacted soil dike type will be installed in association with the sediment detainment structures in order to minimize off --site sedimentation by directing all runoff from disturbed -areas to a sediment trap. Grass -Lined and Rip Rap -Lined Channel A diversion channel to direct runoff around the reservoir, plant and stockpile area, and Pit Expansion Area 2 will be constructed in phases prior to initiation of dam and reservoir construction, and pit expansion. In its upper reaches the channel will be constructed with a parabolic cross sectional configuration and will will be lined with bermudagrass. In its lower reaches where slope gradients are more severe, the channel will be constructed as a rip rap lined trapezoidal channel with a "pit run" rip rap energy dissipator at the outlet to the receiving stream. Knightdale Quarry Permit Modification Page 4 Phase I of the channel will consist of approximately 1800 linear feet of channel bypassing the reservoir area and discharging into the reservoir emergency spillway channel. Once Pit Expansion Area 2 is initiated (1 to 2 years), Phase II of the diversion channel will be completed with the upper reaches of Phase II being a parabolic,grass lined channel, and the lower reach being a rip rap lined trapezoidal channel. Design details and specifications for the diversion channel are given in the section of supporting calculations.

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.25(2)e., because Wake Stone Corporation owns all land downstream fran this dam, and there is no threat to property damage other than to Wake Stone Corporation's property (or presumably to life), then this dam will be considered exempt from the requirements of the Dam Safety Law of 1967. Should ownership of property downstream from the dam change ownership and potentially be impacted by a failure of this dam, then the dam would no longer be exempt. Measures to prevent offsite sedimentation should naturally be provided during construction of this dam. Also, you may wish to check with Mr. Tracy Davis, Mining Specialist regarding any permit modification requirements necessary for your existing mining permit for this site.

Eased on the information contained in the attachments. I respectfully request an exemption from the permitting requirement of the Darn Safety Law as allowed by paragraph 1 43-21 5 . 25 ( 2) (e) . As indicated in the information provided, Wake Stone Corporation holds private ownership to all properties downstream to a point where there is no threat to life or property. There are no structures, existing or planned, downstream that would be affected in the event of an instantaneous breach by overtopping. If an exemption is granted we will in no way take lightly the responsibility to use sound judgement in the planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining of the dam and reservoir. We employed the services of a professional engineering firm to make a complete geotechnical investigation of the dam site. A report has hPPn nmmnlPt.Prl and ig nrP---Pnt.ly nn fi lP in t-.hiq n_ffir:P_ ThP services of experienced design engineers have been employed to follow through with complete plans and specifications. That phase is very near completion at this time. Full time inspection will be provided by our staff engineer with help as needed from the design engineers. Thank you for favorable consideration of our request for an exemption from the Dam Safety Law. Sincerely yours; Wake'Stone Corporation David F. Lee Enclosures REPORT OF SITE CONDITIONS Wake Stone Corporation Knightdale Quarry RE U6 QED UIPJn of Wake The drainage area consists of only 67 acres consisting of mostly Appling, Durham, and Wehadkee soils ranging from 2 to 10 percent and a weighted runoff curve number of 76, as determined by the SCS Method. It should be noted at this time that the size of the drainage area, the planned size of the (.1; d b.�!. -,� +i,e droughty a+, of the the C. 1� C. ) �� A v V .l 1 � 111 a �� �A iJ a 1. ll iJ C� J V IY � , the 1. U l o 1.1 �, LA 1. y nature .- 41 r ti V A the 4 soils in the reservoir -area, and the availability of a "top - grade" embankment fill cause concerns related to the ability of the drainage area to maintain a reasonable waterline. it is imperative that particular care be taken during construction to select the very best material to be used as embankment fill and every effort taken to obtain maximum compaction. The desire of the Owner is that the top of the embankment: be elevation 288.0 (approx.), not only to maximize the storage capacity of the reservoir but also to permit the top to be used as an access road (100 feet wide) to the pit operations. The low point in a cross-section at the proposed dam site is elevation 253.0. It would be reasonable to set the normal waterline at elevation 282.0 which would create a pool. of 7.8 acres. Under.these conditions, it would only require four feet of additional stage to contain the runoff from a 100-yr, 24-hour storm event assuming no appreciable outflow. If it could be assumed that the drainage area would support a reservoir of this size, it is probable that a 500--yr, 24hour storm event would be necessary to overtop the clam. In the unlikely event of all the assumptions above, a total breach caused by overtopping would produce a large volume of water (breach wave) that would travel downstream along the existing channel only 400 feet before almost completely leaving the channel and moving into the existing pit (see cross-section data attached). At 1000 feet downstream the channel is only 6.5 feet deep. At 1250 feet downstream the channel is practically non-existent and the breach wave would move completely into the existing nit with tremendous excess capacity to contain the total volume;. The bottom of the pit is at elevation 121.0. At this point the breach wave is no longer a threat to life or property and has been contained on Wake Stone Corporation property. Based on the above facts related to the site, it is my opinion that you have an option of requesting that the state grant you an exemption to the Dam Safety Permit requirement. If you decide to pursue that option, please feel free to have all technical questions, related to the above, referred to me. �X Y =. J y alton, P.E.

Robertson You couldn't find it if you didn't know where to look. That is how carefully the Wake Stone Corp., Knightdale, N.C., has screened the Triangle quarry and minimized its impact upon the surrounding area. Wake Stone Corp. property oc- cupies about 225 acres, bounded on , the south by Interstate 40; on the' west by Crabtree Creek and the Raleigh -Durham airport; by the same creek and William B. Ulm - stead State Park on the north, and by the park on, the east. Since the company is permitted to mine adja- cent to the park, it is very aware of any environmental impact on the area. This proximity influences even day-to-day operations such as dust and noise abatement, design and timing of blasts, as well as planning for total screening of the operation from both the park and I-40. Plant design included leav- ing all of the green area pos- sible, especially a green belt along the plant and the In- terstate and also between the road separating com- pany property from the part: on the east. Based, on 'one -shift opera- tion, the Triangle plant has a capacity of approximately 500,000 to 600,000 tpy. It went into operation in De- cember 1982, and the loca- tion, according to John R. Bratton, vice president and operations manager, is a prime spot for serving the Research Triangle area. Uses for aggregate produced at the Triangle plant include highway construction, ready -mix concrete, hot -mix as - Environmental impact played a key role in the de- sign and operation of Wake Stone Co.'s 900 tph Triangle crushed stone plant phalt, and concrete block and pipe. Sizes include North Carolina ABC (minus 11h in.), plus'/e in., 7/s x'/1e in., and 7116 x Ma in., and asphalt screenings. ..All engineering and plant design were done with noise control in mind. All of the crushing equipment is installed"in the lower topography The 4248 primary crusher Is po-' sitloned some 40 h below the receiv- ing hopper, both are surrounded by trees, making it difficult to either see or hear the machinery of the property and in the case of the primary crusher, is surrounded by trees. The stockpiles are on the highest elevations of the property and form buffers to deflect noise be- tween the plant and its neighbors. In addition, the chutes and sides of the screens are rubber -clad to reduce noise. Currently, the quarry occupies approximately 25 acres. The depos- it is covered by an average of 15 ft of overburden which is stripped off by a wheel loader that also. cleans up the quarry floor and acts as a reserve loading device. The deposit, which lies on the eastern edge of the Triassic Basin, is a light gray, hard granite gneiss and has a Los Angeles Rattler test result ranging from the mid 30s to the low 40s. The stone is highly strati- fied, which provides good fragmentation in the blast- ing operation. Drilling is accomplished by two crawler -mounted drifter drills which bore the blast - holes on an 8 x 9-ft pattern. L+�_� ar )A nil A.'-W i' rorn Gil tU JV, 0TL-11I.—Uldlll holes are drilled for each shot, with two shots detonated each week. Approximately 90% of the explosives used is ammon- ium nitrate -fuel oil and the other 10% is water gel. Elec- tric detonation is used with 25 to 500 ms multi delay periods to obtain better fragmentation and keep down vibration and air blast. Every shot is moni- tored by seismograph and each shot yields approximately 6,000 tons of raw material to the muck pile. Loading at the muck pile is han- dled by a 3-yd cable shovel which loads three 30-ton-capacity haul trucks for the 900-ft haul to the pri- mary crusher. A 7-cu-yd wheel loader functions as a backup unit for loading and cleanup. At the receiv- ing hornner "a 100-ton-capacity ab- ricated steel unit, a vibrating feeder ti E with 8-ft-long grizzly section allows the minus 6-in. stone to drop through the bars and bypass the crusher but empties plus 6-in. stone from the hopper into the primary crusher. The primary crusher, a 4248 jaw unit, is set at approxi- mately 51A in. and discharges stone at approximately 8-in. size. The receiving hopper is located at the top of a small rise, while the crush- er is positioned some 40 ft below it.

Yes No ❑ (Only one operation) Check the amount of blanket bond: $2,500 ❑ $12;500 $5,000 ❑ $25,000 ❑ 1. What aspect of your mining operation may have significant effect on wild- life, or freshwater, estuarine or marine fisheries? (See over) 2. Is there a waste water discharge from your plant or mine? Engineer from the Board of Water and Air Resources Yes ❑ No ❑ will visit the site to determine whether or n66(af permit is required (See over). yes, indicate the approval document number issued by the Office of Water and Air Resources, Department of Natural and Economic Resources. Expiration Date b. Is there an air contaminant emission from your mine or plant? Yes ❑X No ❑ If yes, indicate the approval document number issued by the Office of Water and Air Resources, Department of Natural and Economic Resources, Registration in Progress Expiration Date 3. If your mining excavation will come within 300 feet of any neighboring M C. 1. Since siltation and/or erosion will be held to a minimum during mining, no water flowing by or out of the mine area will be made unfit for wildlife or fish by virtue of the mining operation. Therefore, it is believed that no significant effect on wildlife or fisheries will result from this mining operation. C. 2. Water used in the crushing plant -is reclaimed in settling ponds and reused. There is no waste water discharge from either the plant or ponds. Our only discharge is water pumped from the pit itself. APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT dwelling house, school, church, hospital, commercial or industrial building, public building or public road, describe methods to prevent _ physical hazard to such features. At the present time no building, roads, etc. are within 300 feet of any planned pit area. 4. Describe measures to be taken to insure against (1) substantial deposits of sediment in stream beds or lakes, (2) landslides, (3) acid water pollution. (1) EOstablishment of stable slope angle in unconsolidated materials and vegetation cover will proceed as rapidly as feasible. Water used to wash stone is sent to tailings ponds and from there is pumped back to the plant to be used again. Therefore, because we recycle our water, very little water leaves the site that could cause siltation. (2) The geologic structure, nature of/"the material, and ground water conditions prevailing at this sire that might have bearing on the stability of our excavation will be evaluated and their potential effects on slope stability considered in mining operations. Care will be taken to remove loose rock from near tops of high walls, and in so far as possible, slopes in unconsolidated material will be kept at a stable angle during active mining. Provisions will be made to prevent excess water from accumulating in unconsolidated materials where this would have an effect on its stability. (3) This operation does not yield acid water pollution. 3 Reclamation Plan 1. Describe your intended plan for the reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the general methods to be used in reclaiming this land. Mining activities and reclamation procedures at this site will be directed to achieve a land surface that would be suitable, with no further work, for: wildlife indigenous to this area, and/or limited recreation such as hiking, picnicking, or primitive camping, and/or growing trees. The goals of this plan are to establish soil stability, vegetation, clean water anel safety edit' tc tv tl,,� d + +.1,' +-1, .-v.. iva.v upprvpriu area aiau �.o �.�i use, the specifics of which are outlined in the following pages. This plan also includes the following: (1) Establishment of vegetation that will include both cover and food for wildlife as well as trees and ground cover to minimize erosion, ��) Estab! '+.uhaicc iat of vile or aiiiire ponds suitable €or a4uauiC life, a1Ld (2 (3) Stabilization of an access road and parking area. The locations of spoil banks and ponds and accessibility into the area will take into consideration the possibility that the property may -ultimately be needed for more intensive use than the one outlined above. Specifically, the ultimate use of this land for building sites and/or for a multi -purpose type recreation area will be kept in mind. Reclamation Plan 2. Indicate what practices you will take to protect adjacent surface resources. (See over) 3. State the method of prevention or elimination of conditions that will be hazardous to animal or fish life in or adjacent to the affected areas: Vegetation, including some to provide food and cover for wildlife, will be established on all areas where feasible to minimize erosion and the resulting silting of streams and ponds. Water in ponds that may remain on the property will be accessible to and suitable for wildlife use. Ramps and access roads into the pit will be stabilized and left. Any streams on the property that were adversely affected by the mining operations will be reclaimed to a hydraulic configuration and bank stability normal for streams found in the area. 4. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all excavations in rock. Suitable fences will be erected along the top of rock cuts which are deemed to constitute a significant safety hazard. In situations where rock weaknesses may lead to collapse of high walls, suitable benches will be left to aid in wall support. 5. Describe plans, if any, for screening operations from public view. Trees will be planted to serve as a view screen. 6. State the method of rehabilitation of settling ponds if to be reclaimed during the life of the permit. Settling ponds will not likely be reclaimed during the life of the permit. However, in the event one is to be reclaimed, it will be stabilized and vegetation established around the pond to create a suitable pond -marsh wildlife area. 2 2. The property is surrounded primarily by farmland and woodland. It is bounded on the south side by U. S. Highway 64 and some home sites, and on the north side by Little Beaver Dam Creek. The Superior Stone Company Knightdale Quarry (inactive) lies just to the east. We plan to mine no closer that about 75 feet to our property line, and at the excavation site closest to the property line unconsolidated overburden material will be approximately 25 feet thick. Slopes in unconsolidated material will be left at no greater than 34 degrees, will be vegetated, and will not extend into adjacent property. Reclamation flan 7. State the method of control of contaminants and disposal of mining refuse: Oil, grease, scrap metal, wood, and other debris will be removed from the surface and either delivered to scrap dealers or buried in accordance with accepted sanitary land -fill practices. 8. Indicate the method of restoration or establishment of stream channels and stream beds to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution: Stream channels will be established (or re-established) to a condition.. (gradient, width, and depth) as near possible like that existing prior to mining (like that of other comparable streams in the area). Banks will- he Stabilized with regetati,_M i /,r r' ra^ to minimize ._.�. 4 -- 9. Describe provisions for prevention of noxious, odious or foul water collecting or remaining in mined areas. The land area will be graded and filled so as to eliminate small, shallow basins or depressions into which surface water will accumulate and stagnate. In the event grading or filling is not feasible to eliminate these areas, suitable drainage will be provided to specifically prevent such condition. 10. Describe how the surface gradient in unconsolidated materials will be re- stored to a condition suitable for the proposed subsequent use of the land after reclamation is completed and proposed method of accomplishment: The surface gradient in unconsolidated materials will be established wherein no slope will be greater than 34 degrees, keeping in mind that accessibility to as much of the area as possible would be desirable. The method of achieving these gradients will be by grading and/or backfilling. 3 r Reclamation Plan Site Preparation - The ground will be graded and/or shaped where necessary keeping in mind the ultimate use of the site, but in-no-rase-Z1-any-slope gr-earer�than-34-degres'�n uncon..o ��C�d-material-be Zest. Loose rock, woody material., and other obstruction that will interfere with the establish- ment of vegetation planned for the site will be removed and/or buried. Surface runoff that might concentrate to cause undesirable erosion will be controlled by terraces or diversions diverting water to protected outlets. Lime and Fertilizer - Liming and/or fertilization will be conducted in accordance with soil test results and as are required for vegetation planned for the site. Seedbed Preparation - Lime and fertilizer will be mixed with the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches where conventional equipment can be used. On slopes steeper than about 2:1, soils will be grooved or scarified along the contour to provide for retention of seeds and nutrients on vhp sloop until germination and growth is started. On steep slopes not accessible to machinery, seed and nutrients will be applied by hand. Vegetation - Sericea Lespedeza and/or Weeping Lovegrass will be established on the site to provide ground cover and erosion control. Whentusing Sericea Lespedeza scarified seed will be applied when reclamation is conducted during spring months and unscarified seed used during the fall. Application will be in a uniform manner either by machine or hand at the rate of about 50 nnoinrlc 7.nirac+r_ ss LespE dez nor combination Seed i ill b � �. .. `-...-... ....b��l ..-., r-............., pe� u.. +. �.. �� ��ii. i.� ue co'v'c..r ui+ to a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch and the soil -then firmed with a cultipacker or similar equipment. Mulch consisting of dry, unchopped small grain straw or similar type material will be spread evenly over the surface at the rate of 1. to 2 tons per acre or until about 75 percent of the soil is hidden. Loblolly Pine seedlings will be planted at selected sites to provide a view screed and to provide revegetati.on. Spacing will be.about 4' x 4' for revegetation purposes. Maintenance - Plant replacement and other maintenance that may be required to establish vegetative cover appropriate to the -reclamation plan for this site will be carried out until vegetation is properly established, Revegetation and/or reforestation plan approved by: Signature Title Chairman Agency Wake Soil & Water Cons. District Date March 28 1972 Reclamation Plan 12. Provide a time schedule that meets the requirements of Section 8 of this Act. Reclamation during the remainder of 1972 will consist of grading and seeding on finished portions of the berm being established near our property line east of the pit. Zn the future as portions of berms are completed they will be established in vegetation. We plan this reclamation activity to be a continuing process to be conducted along with mining. Diversion channels or terraces that may be required to control surface runoff on the property will also be stabilized and vegetated as soon as they are constructed. 5 LAND ENTRY AGREEMENT We hereby grant to the Department or its appointed representatives the right of entry and travel upon our lands or operation during regular business hours for the purpose of making necessary field inspections or investigations as may be reasonably required in the administration of this Act, so long as the Department or its appointed representatives are accompanied by an agent or representative of our Company.

Areas'of the embWanent bordering the stream had been riprapped. The extreme western end of the dike had not been graded. 'I understand_ that this section will be graded and reseeded in the near future. Satisfactory progress has been made thus far -in implementing erasion central. Howrevert,for permanent stabilizatione permanent vegetation should be,established and the beam maintained.. Lcuegrass and Sericea Lespedeza'combinaticn. discussed at the site is suited.to spring planting and has little chance of germinating and providing good ground cover at this time of year.

The quarry Was found to be'generally in compliance vith The Mining Act of 1971. Howdver, one area needing mediate attention ie the berm contracted immediately adjacent to the ' Little . Beaver Data Creek . • Since little or no buffer was left between the berm and the creek, eroeion of this berm would cause direct siltation of the creek. The base of -the berm is also subject to erosion from the stream itself. I recommend that the bade of the berm be stabilized by rip rap to a height- of slightly above the 'expected high water level and the ieamainder of the berm stabilized by vegetation. Sloping the top of the berm away from the stresmside slope will reduce runoff and thus reduoing`erosion and facilitating revegetation. �iilA to t.�1A 111AA f U' F A the A Atl•�+�f1t1 : lr1Yf1.v17��11+tr vd%dW% a+4 ev" fie+++7 A 1►� r_ __ y . —mi-,x...� ..�.v VaV VP{/�Via aa+,_ws w established as soon as possible.
