Thank you for your letter dated May 23, 2001, received by this office on June 7,
2001, regarding the Special Use Permit recently issued by the Orange County Board of
County Commissioners for the above referenced site. In your letter, you requested that
Mining Permit No. 68-02 be modified to incorporate some of the conditions of the
Special Use Permit.
Please be advised that the Department cannot incorporate and enforce local
government Special Use Permit conditions in a State -issued Mining Permit. As G.S.
74-65 of the Mining Act of 1971 states, "No provision of this Article shall be construed
to supercede or otherwise affect or prevent the enforcement of any zoning regulation or
ordinance duty adopted by an incorporated city or county or by any agency or
department of the State of North Carolina, except insofar as a provision of said
regulation or ordinance is in direct conflict with this Article." As the Special Use Permit
conditions listed in your May 23, 2001 letter are the same or more restrictive than the
conditions outlined in Mining Permit No. 68-02, this office does not feel there is a
conflict with the Mining Act. Therefore, it will be the local government's responsibility to
enforce the conditions of the Special Use Permit, not the Department's through the
mining permit.

Subject Special Use permit — American Stone Company
Chapel Hill Quarry
Mine Permit 69-02
Dear Mr. Davis:
xECEWEn
JUN - 7 mi
sx:
The Orange County Board of County Commissioners has voted to approve a Special Use Permit
for the American Stone Company — Chapel Hill Quarry located in Orange County. As part of this
approval, the board has proposed 51 conditions related to the operation of the quarry. American
Stone Company is required to implement and satisfy these 51 conditions in order to maintain
compliance with the Special Use Permit.
Condition number 22 reads as follows:
" American Stone Company shall request that the following conditions also be made conditions
of its amended mining permit:
(a) American Stone Company shall use the most current, generally accepted blasting
techniques available and will inform the County Manager, or designee, before
changing blasting techniques.
(b) Amercian Stone Company shall adhere to the following limits to be measured by
seismograph at the nearest property line of property under control of American Stone
Company during the mining process;
(i) Air blast limit of 125 decibels.
(ii) Maximum peak particle velocity of 0.6 inches per second, provided that
American Stone Company will strive for a maximum peak particle
velocity limit of 0.5 inches per second.
(c) American Stone Company shall limit its continuous noise operations (plant
processing including the jaw crusher) at the boundary of the property encumbered by
the original special use permit and at the boundary of the property added to this
modified special use permit to 60 decibels."
P,A, ,, /�,,�

By way of this notification, we are requesting that you make the above referenced conditions part
of our Mining Permit. Since this is a unique situation, we are not exactly sure of the process that
needs to be followed to accomplish this request. Your office may require an official application
or just add this request to the file. Please let me know how you want to handle this unusual
request.
Please get in touch with this office if you have any questions or need any additional information
on this matter.

Orange approves quarry expansion
By ROB SHAPARD : The Herald -Sun
chh a.herald-sun.com
Apr 4, 2001:12:08 am ET
HILLSBOROUGH -- Capping years of negotiations and often -contentious debate,
the Orange County Commissioners on Tuesday approved the expansion of the
American Stone quarry on N.C. 54 near Can boro.
The board actually approved two steps. The first was a rezoning to allow the
quarry expansion, which the board approved 4-1 on a motion by Commissioner
Moses Carey and a second by Commissioner Margaret Brown.
Commissioner Alice Gordon voted against the rezoning, without stating a specific
reason for doing so.
The second step was a special -use permit that has roughly 50 conditions attached
to it, such as the creation of a no-fault well -repair fund for residents living near the
quarry.
The board approved the permit 3-2, with Gordon again voting against, and this
timejoined by Brown.

Jc"
I of 4/6/2001 10:10 AM

heraldsun.com: Orange approves quarry expansioril
Commissioner Barry Jacobs made the motion to approve the permit, and Chairman
Steve Halkiotis seconded it.
One condition calls for American Stone to pay $87,500 into the well -repair fund
initially and another $20,000 a year, for residents living within 3,000 feet of the
perimeter,
The condition also originally called for the Orange Water and Sewer Authority to
pay in another $15,000 a year if the fund ran short.
But on Tuesday, Jacobs suggested requiring OWASA, which wants to eventually
turn the expanded quarry into a reservoir, to pay the $15,000 a year automatically,
regardless of whether the fund was running short. The commissioners would have
discretion to use that money for protecting the "health, safety and welfare" of
residents, Jacobs suggested. He said that might give the commissioners discretion
for helping residents beyond the 3,000-foot line.
OWASA board Chairman Peter Gordon said his board;would have concerns about
that, arguing that step sounded like the county would be using the money almost
like tax revenues.
County Manager John Link disputed that point. He said he saw no problem as long
as the commissioners stipulated the $15,000 a year was "primarily" for well
repairs, although the commissioners could consider other uses in consultation with
OWASA.
The commissioners also approved a change in conditions suggested by Halkiotis,
that the limit on the power of blasts be reduced from 450 pounds of explosives per
delay to 325 pounds.
Several residents spoke against the quarry expansion, including longtime
opponents Erwin Danziger and Elliot Cramer.
"You really don't need to do it for OWASA," Danziger said. "The only reason you
need to do it is so that American Stone can have a big profit."
They have argued that OWASA could get just as big a reservoir, about 3 billion
gallons of capacity, if the existing quarry were dug deeper.
The Orange County Commissioners have said in the past that they felt the only
way residents would get any concessions, such as the well -repair fund, was
through a special -use permit with conditions, although none of the commissioners
verbalized that argument on Tuesday night.
"We feel unheard, and that's an understatement," resident Julie Tucker said. "We
have been vocal for years to no avail.
"As for the quarry residents, this special -use permit determines the quality of their
lives for the next 30 years, and possibly more," Tucker said.
The commissioners also told Link to look for another party to sign on to a

conservation easement that will be applied to the property once mining is finished

Thank you for your message. I will be available to meet with you any time on
5/1 or 5/5... the other days next week I will be looking at mines in the
Asheville area or in meetings most of the day. Please let me know which of
these dates are best for you and what time you would like to meet.
Regarding the upcoming renewal of the permit for this site, there are no
provisions in the law or rules for public notification by the company or the
Department nor is there a provision for a public hearing. Public notification
and public hearings pertain only to new mining permit applications and
modification applications that request to add land to the permitted area of an
existing permitted operation in which new owners of land will be adjoining the
proposed new permit boundary. In light of this and the fact that we have no
way to keep up or promisecitizens across the State that we will notify them
of every permit action they are interested in (where notice is not required by
the Mining Act... it's just not practical with the staff and resources we have
in light of the many permits we review, issue, enforce, and address through
major controversy/problems), we ask that those concerned call us periodically
to check to see if such a request has been made and. is currently under
review. Then, they are welcome to come in and review the proposals and
provide comments throughout the review process until a decision on the request
has been made. I hope this answers the notification portion of your message.
I look forward to meeting you. Thanks. Tracy

Thank you. So, the pit acreage of 33.8 acres represents the area that has been
disturbed for actual extraction activities?
On a different note --is there any objection that citizens can raise when a
company like this applies for a modification to their permit? Or, not so because
the company owns all of the land within which they would request a mod to their 'y,�
permit?P��+/I'
Hope that you have not been bombarded too much by concerned citizens. I _`
appreciate your assistance. y]

I have recently met with representatives of American Stone and have obtained
a more detailed, digitized mine map. Here is a breakdown of the actual
acreage disturbed at the site at the 'end of 1999: Ponds=3.8 acres;
Plant=9.2 acres; Wastepiles=10.3. acres; Pit=33_.8 acres; and Stockpiles=13.4
acres; Total Disturbed Acreage at the end of 1999=10.5 acres. Over the
years, we have reviewed and approved several requests for pit expansion and
berm construction. As of today, their are approved to disturb up to a total
of 85 acres at this site as approved by the Department on their mine map

Re:[Ftvd: American stone permitted areal
(this includes all of the activities/categories noted above). Before they
can disturb any other areas within their overall 118 acre permitted site,
they would have to apply for a modification to their permit and obtain
approval from this office.
If you would like more specific information, you may want to set up a date
and time to review the mine file in either this office or our Raleigh
Regional Office.

Thanks for your message. I am finalizing my response to you regarding your faxes of 2/29/2000 and
3/10/2000... the delay has been my detailed analysis of blasting reports over the past year. My letter
should go out later this week to address your ARR and blasting concerns.
The info I forwarded to Dr. Cramer this morning came out of my draft letter to you noted above. The
acreage was measured off digitized map to reflect the disturbed acreage in each category at the end of
1999 (thus, it does not include acreage disturbed since January of this year). I have visited the site
recently and the company is conducting its activities within the areas approved by this office to be
disturbed. As far as the exact acreage that has been disturbed since January, I do not know...we do not
have the resources or staff to visit each of our (over 900) permitted mines once a year, let alone survey its
acreage during each visit. Realistically, as long as the operator is within the boundaries of the approved
mining plan and is deemed in compliance with its mining permit conditions, this office is not concerned
with the exact affected acreage at any given time (as it is continually changing, more at some operations
than others). The digitized map that generated the acreage figures I gave Dr. Cramer is the best available
information at this time (and does include berm construction within the waste piles category). As I noted,
at the end of 1999, American Stone had approx. 70.5 acres disturbed out of the 85 acres approved to be
disturbed. By now, they are probably somewhere between these two numbers, but still well below the 85
acre total approved to be disturbed.
The above information is the best I can provide at this time. In order for your concerns to be more
thoroughly addressed, I recommend that you visit our office and review the latest contents of the mine
file and maps for this site, if you have further questions. Perhaps this can be done after you receive my
letter later this week. Thanks. Tracy

The waste pile figure given in your email to cramer of 10.3 acres
include "berms"? If so it seems like a very small number since there are
significant berms all around the quarry.
I also wonder if your data, includes the newest NW area that is being
stripped of earth now, and where digging has begun and overburden
removed?
And what about the other items mentioned in your letter such as
roadways, scales, equipment storage areas, etc.?
A look at an aerial photograph might be interesting.

Subject: Mine Permit Modification
Chapel Hill Quarry —Permit #68-02
Orange County
Dear Mr. Davis:
Enclosed please find duplicate copies of a completed Application for a Mining Permit
Modification to cover the disturbance of an additional 14.4 acres at the above referenced facility.
The additional acres included in this submittal cover 7.6 acres of new berm and 6.8 acres of pit
expansion. ,
Included with this submittal you will find the following:
• Completed first 2 pages of the application form
• Check #98-009068 in the amount of $250 to cover the permit processing fee
• Revised mine map showing the changes
• Erosion control details for the new berm
• Engineering drawings and details for a relocated drainage channel
In order for the pit to expand at this site, an unnamed tributary to Phils Creek must be relocated
for 900 feet. Both the Corps of Engineers and the NC Division of Water Quality have been to the
site to inspect the project area. The appropriate permit application forms have been submitted to
these agencies to cover this relocation. The channel was not viewed by either agency as a
significant stream and wetlands were not an issue. Detailed engineering drawings are included
that show the channel cross sections, cut depths, erosion control and revegetation plan. As the
plans show, 170' of the distance will be covered by a 54" diameter pipe under the berm.

April 29, 1998
Page 2
The mine map includes a seeding schedule for general vegetation, a typical berm detail, bench
diagram, diversion ditch detail and pipe outlet stabilization for the 54" pipe. This is also a new
CAD generated map that includes color codes for various site features.
It is critical to the production processes at this site that additional pit area becomes available in
the next few months. Anything that your department can do to process this modification in a
minimal amount of time would be greatly appreciated. We understand that the unnamed tributary
relocation can not take place until the Corps of Engineers and the Division of Water Quality
complete their permitting process. Receiving approval from your office to begin construction on
part of this new berm will allow the site the new pit area that is needed.
Please get in touch with this office if any additional information is needed on this matter.

affected area by 14.4 acres as specified by the approved modification
application, the supplemental documentation, and as indicated on the
Mine Map last revised June 9, 1998. This includes 7.6 acres of new
berm construction, 6.8 acres of pit expansion, and the 900 foot
relocation of a tributary to Phil's Creek. A copy of the modified permit
is enclosed.
• .. �.._ �44-ice'•.
The conditions in the modified permit were based primarily upon
the initial application. Modifications were made as indicated by the
modification request and as required to insure compliance with The
Mining Act of 1971 . The expiration date, mine name and permit
number shall remain the same as before the modification. I would like to
draw your particular attention to Operating Conditions Nos. 3.D. and
4.C, of the enclosed modified permit.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does
not supersede local zoning regulations. The responsibility of compliance
with any applicable zoning regulations lies with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 118 acres
and the amount of land you are approved to disturb is 70.4 acres.

or commercial or institutional building. If vibrationlairblast limits are
exceeded, the operator shall immediately report the event with causes and
corrective actions to the Department. Use of explosives at the blast site that
produced the excessive reading shall cease until corrective actions approved
by the Department have been taken. However, blasting may occur in other
approved areas within the permitted boundary. Authorization to blast at the
blast site may be granted at the time of the verbal reporting of the high
airblast reading if the circumstances justify verbal approval. Failure to report
will constitute a permit violation.
C. The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to insure that flyrock is not
thrown beyond areas where the access is temporarily or permanently
guarded by the operator. Should flyrock occur beyond the permitted and
guarded area, or the level in Item A. above is exceeded, the operator shall
report the incident to the Department immediately and further use of
explosive at the site shall be immediately suspended until the following
actions have been taken:

Page 6
A thoagh investigation as to the cause0of the incident shall be
conducted.
2. A satisfactory report detailing the investigation shall be provided to the
Department within 10 days of the incident. Said report shalt, at a
minimum, document the cause(s) of the incident along with technical
and management actions that will be taken to prevent further
Incidents.
The report shall meet with the approval of the Department before blasting
may resume at the site. Failure to take corrective measures to prevent
flyrock and repeated instances of flyrock shall be considered a violation of
this permit.
D, The operator shall maintain records on each individual blast describing: the
total number of holes; pattern of holes and delay of intervals; depth and size
of holes; type and total pounds of explosives; maximum pounds per delay
interval; amount of stemming and burden for each hole; blast location;
distance from blast to closest off -site occupied structure; and weather
conditions at the time of the blast. Records shall be maintained at the
permittee's mine office and copies shall be provided to the Department upon
request.
The 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.
9. Kah Wall Barrier
A physical barrier consisting of large boulders placed end -to -end or fencing shall be
maintained at all times around the perimeter of any highwall to prevent inadvertent
public access. In addition, a minimum 10 foot wide horizontal safety bench shall be
provided at the junction between the top of rock and the toe of any overburden cut
slope.
10. Visual Screening
A. Existing vegetation shall be maintained between the mine and public
thoroughfares to screen the operation from the public. Additional screening
methods, such as constructing earthen berms, shall be employed as deemed
appropriate by the Department.
B. Berms shall be located and constructed as shown on the Mine Map last
revised June 9, 1998. In addition to grasses, loblolly and/or Virginia pines or
other acceptable species shall be planted as deemed appropriate by the
Department to improve visual and noise buffering.
11. Plan Modification
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 and any
approved revisions to it. Approval to implement such changes must be obtained
from the Department prior to on -site implementation of the revisions.

12. Refuse Dis osal • 0 Page 7
A. No on -site disposal of refuse or other solid waste that is generated outside of
the mining permit area shall be allowed within the boundaries of the mining
permit area unless authorization to conduct said disposal has first been
obtained from both the Division of Waste Management and the Land Quality
Section, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The method of
disposal shall be consistent with the approved reclamation plan.
B. Mining refuse as defined by G.S. 74-49 (14) of The Mining Act of 1971
generated on -site and directly associated with the mining activity may be
disposed of in a designated refuse area. All other waste products must be
disposed of in a disposal facility approved by the Division of Waste
Management. No petroleum products, acids, solvents or their storage
containers.or any other material that may be considered hazardous shall be
disposed of within the permitted area.
C. For the purposes of this permit, the Division of Land Resources considers the
following materials to be "mining refuse" (in addition to those specifically
listed under G.S. 74-49 (14) of the N.C. Mining Act of 1971):
1) on -site generated land clearing debris
2) conveyor belts
3) wire cables
4) v-belts
5} steel reinforced air hoses
6) drill steel
D. If mining refuse is to be permanently disposed within the mining permit
boundary, the following information must be provided to and approved by the
Division of Land Resources prior to commencement of such disposal:
1 . the approximate boundaries and size of the refuse disposal area;
2. a list of refuse items to be disposed;
3. verification that a minimum of 4 feet of cover will be provided over the
refuse;
4. verification that the refuse will be disposed at least 4 feet above the
seasonally high water table; and
5. verification that a permanent vegetative groundcover will be
established.
13. Annual Reclamation_ Report
An Annual Reclamation Report shall be submitted on a form supplied by the
Department by February 1 of each year until reclamation is completed and
approved.

14. Bonding .
• Page 8
The security which was posted pursuant to N.C.G.S. 74-54 in the form of a
$500,000.00 blanket bond is sufficient to cover the operation as indicated in 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.
15. Archaeological Resources
Authorized representatives of the Division of Archives and History shall be granted
access to the site to determine the presence of significant archaeological resources.

APPROVED RECLAMATION PLAN.
The Mining Permit incorporates this Reclamation Plan, the performance of which is a
condition on the continuing validity of that Mining Permit. Additionally, the Reclamation
Plan is a separable obligation of the permittee, which continues beyond the terms of the
Mining Permit.
The approved plan provides:
Minimum Standards As Provided By G.S. 74-53
1 . The final slopes in all excavations in soil, sand, gravel and other unconsolidated
materials shall be at such an angle as to minimize the possibility of slides and be
consistent with the future use.of the land.
2. Provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property must be provided in all
excavations in rock.
3. All overburden and spoil shall be left in a configuration which is in accordance with
accepted conservation practices and which is suitable for the proposed subsequent
use of the land.
4. No small pools of water shall be allowed to collect or remain on the mined area that
are, likely to become noxious, odious or foul.
5. The revegetation plan shall conform to accepted and recommended agronomic and
reforestation practices as established by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station and the North Carolina Forest Service.
6. Permittee shall conduct reclamation activities pursuant to the Reclamation Plan
herein incorporated. These activities shall be conducted according to the time
schedule included in the plan, which shall to the extent feasible provide reclamation
simultaneous with mining operations and in any event, provide reclamation at the
earliest practicable time after completion or termination of mining on any segment
of the permit area and shall be completed within two years after completion or
termination of mining.
RECLAMATION CONDITIONS:
Provided further, and subject to the Reclamation Schedule, the planned reclamation
shall be to allow the quarry excavation to fill with water, provide a permanent
barricade (fence) along the top of any highwall, and grade and revegetate any areas
in unconsolidated material.
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 slope and terraced as
necessary to insure slope stability.
B. Any settling ponds and sediment control basins shall be backfilled, graded,
and stabilized or cleaned out and made into acceptable lake areas.

• - • 0 Page 10
• C. The processing, stockpile, and other disturbed areas neighboring the mine
excavation shall be leveled and smoothed.
D. Compacted surfaces shall be disced, subsoiled or otherwise prepared before
revegetation.
E. No contaminants shall be permanently disposed of at the mine site. On -site
disposal of waste shall be in accordance with Operating Conditions Nos.
12.A.through D.
F. The affected land shall be graded to prevent the collection of noxious or foul
water.
3. Revegetation Plan:
Disturbed areas shall be permanently revegetated according to the Revegetation
Plan provided on the Mine Map last revised June 9, 1998. In addition, the
permittee shall consult with a professional wildlife biologist with the N.C. Wildlife
Resources Commission to enhance post -project wildlife habitat at the site.
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.
This permit, issued September 11, 1972, renewed September 27, 1982, and renewed
and modified April 16, 1993, is hereby modified this 17th day of July, 1998 pursuant

Mr. Cramer, thank you for your message. I apologize for the lateness of my
reply. I have been traveling the past three weeks.
Your methodology appears logical. However, there are several different ways the
approximate volume of this quarry could be calculated...it depends on which one
you or others feel most accurately conveys the situation. This office does not
typically get involved in such determinations, as they are outside the scope of
our environmental review. When we permit and regulate a quarry operation, we
ensure that it meets the permit conditions during operation and is sufficiently
reclaimed when mining is terminated. Because of shortages in staff and
resources, as well as the ongoing field adjustments made at quarries, this
office does not require detailed dimensions of the quarry during the operation
or at its conclusion. We are satisfied with approximate figures, usually in
acreage, for statistical purposes only... our main concern is that the pit is
stabilized around its perimeter with a permanent safety fence and vegetated
slopes and the pit is filled with water. We are not concerned with the actual
volume of the final pit ... that is subject to the landowner's wishes and his/her
future intentions for the site once mining has been completed.
In light of the above, this office does not maintain information on the actual
dimensions of the benches, nor do we have a good estimate of the percentage of
waste (we have over 130 permitted quarries in NC that are continually changing
this plus the fact that we only maintain approximate information on the surface
area disturbed by each operation - does not provide us enough information to
make an accurate judgment on this issue). As mentioned in earlier
correspondence, more accurate dimensions and acreage for the operation as it
currently exists is better obtained directly from the company or from digital
orthophotographs. Such photographs may be available at the County office, the
Department of Transportation, or the NC Geological Survey Section. However,
these photos may be several years old. It may be worth the citizen's while to
hire an aerial photography company to fly over the operation and take updated,
accurate pictures that could be downloaded and measured. I recommend that a
consultant be used for this aspect of your analysis, as this office does not
have the expertise to do such an investigation.
I hope I have answered your questions. Please let me know if you need
clarification on the above.

Erwin, I am not sure if we have received the ARR for the 1999 calendar year yet, as
deadline is not until 2/l/2000. However, once we do, Susan will either fax or mail
the form.
Regarding your question about the ARR map, it is our policy that if the operation
underwent a formal permit action since 1/1/1999, which included providing us with an
overall updated mine map, the requirements for an ARR map would be waived (to avoid
receiving another copy of the same snap we already have in the file, reduce costs, an
reduce unnecessary paper in the file). If AMC chooses to send us a map despite the
then we will send you a copy with the ARR form. Let me know if you need further
information on this issue. Thanks. Tracy

thanks for the directions - they will surely help. i expect to be there shortly after lunch on thursday. after i get done with your
records, I'd like to head over to the water discharge permit oft ice and look at american stone's npdcs file. (it's in archdale, too) i
don't know if there's much there ... they may be operating under a general permit, with little monitoring and few site visits .... .

Thursday, 1 /20 after lunch is fine. If you can come into town on 140, here are the directions:
140 towards Raleigh; take the Wade Ave. exit; stay on Wade Ave. - as you get closer to
downtown, it will merge to the right onto Capital Blvd, (also known as Downtown Blvd.);
take the Peace Street exit off.Downtown Blvd.; take a left onto Peace St. at the bottom of the
exit and pass under Downtown Blvd.; you'll go under another overpass (for a railroad) and
approach a stoplight at Salisbury Street, turn right onto Salisbury Street (the tall white
building at this intersection is the Archdale Building, where we are located); go towards
downtown on Salisbury St. approx. 3/4 of a block and you'll see a public parking deck on the
right - park there and walk up to the Archdale Building. We are on the 5th floor, Room 504
(at the end of the hall where the Division of Land Resources sign is located). There is a
carpeted reception area. Take a right off the reception area and my office is the first one on
the left side (504N).
Hope this helps. If I'm not in, keeping checking in that direction, one of us will be there to
assist you. Call me if you have any questions. Thanks.

Mr, Tonning,
Thank you for your email. You are welcome to come in and review the file on
the American Stone Company Chapel Hill Quarry. It contains the entire
history of the project and all documents are public records. I, or a member of
my staff, will assist you when you arrive. Can you give us a date and time that
you think you will be here (so we can be sure to have someone available to
pull the file and find a location for you to sit/review it)? Thanks. Tracy Davis

greetings; i am working with the orange (county) water and sewer authority on a proposal to
expand the american stone co. rock quarry in southern orange county, which is located near

the current quarry property have signed an agreement to donate the expanded pit to owasa
when quarrying is completed, if the project is approved by local governments and zoning
changes are secured. american stone ( a division of martin marietta aggregates) has a permit
from your agency, i believe, in responding to citizen concerns over their operations, i would
like to review their permit and any site inspection reports that have been conducted over the

Sorry for the lateness of my reply. Several of my people have been out of the
office sick, so I've had to hold down the fort on my own for the past several
days.
Per your request, here are my estimations (based on 36.8 acres of mine
excavation):
1) 36.8 acres x 43,560ft^2/1 acre = 1,603,008 sq. feet
2) volume = Area x Height = 1,603,008 sq. feet x 250 feet = 400,752,000 cubic
feet
(this assumes that the depth will remain approx. 250 feet as originally
proposed,
due to haulage economics, and that the pit is just expanding laterally)
3) Therefore, the maximum volume of water in a hole with a surface area of
36.8 acres, vertical pit walls (ie, no benches), and a depth of 250 feet
= approximately 400,752,000 cubic feet of water = approximately
2,998,025,712 gallons of water = approximately 3 billion gallons of
water
(take 400,752,000 cu.ft. x 7.481 gallons/1 cu.ft to get gallons of
water)
4) As most modern quarries have several levels of benches, some of the above
volume should be deducted. As I am not familiar with this particular quarry's
features, as far as the size and number of benches, I cannot reasonably estimate
the volume of water that should be removed from the above calculations.
However, assuming that 10% of the quarry's volume as determined above is taken
up by benches, a more reasonable volume of water that would be held by this
excavation would be:
0.10 x 2,998,025,712 gallons = 299,802,571 gallons (to be removed
because
of benching); therefore, removing 10% from the volume above
would yield:
2,996,025,712 gallons -- 299,802,571 gallons =
2,698,223,141 gallons
or approx. 2.7 billion gallons
5) As I have noted in the past, this is a quick estimate of volume, based on
the
given
ultimate acreage and depth proposed by the mining company. The pit
would have to be surveyed periodically for actual dimensions at any
time to determine a more accurate volume estimate. I am not aware if
American Stone does this, what equipment they may use, or where they
record/maintain this information. This office does not maintain or

require
permitted operators to provide such information. However, mining
companies
may be required to report certain information to other state and federal
agencies
for tax or other legal/business purposes. Some of this information may
be available

I hope this has provided you with the information you requested. This is the
best information I can provide on this subject. If you have further questions,

Mr. Danziger, I apologize for not responding to your fax earlier...it's
been extremely/unusually busy the past several weeks.
I have quickly reviewed the mine map for this site and it appears that
the lowest edge of the top of the pit (where the final lake is proposed
to discharge into Phil's Creek)'is at the 468 foot contour. Please note
that this is just an approximation and could change if mining plans are
adjusted, modifications are issued in the future, etc. Rather than our
office holding the company to a specific location for the permanent
overflow of the final lake (created by the quarry excavation), our
requirement is that the overflow, wherever it may be located, must be
permanently stabilized to prevent erosion at the overflow (and
immediately downstream) and prevent offsite sedimentation.
This is the best answer I can give you at this time. I hope this
helps. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas! Tracy

Dear Mr. Danziger.
Thank you for your November 16, 1999 letter in which you
requested clarification on the definition and use of the term "disturbed
land" with respect to mining operations permitted by this office.
"Disturbed land", also known as "Affected land", are areas
within the mining permit boundary where the land surface is exposed
by man-made activities. G.S. 74-49(1 ) of the Mining Act of 1971
states:
' "Affected land" means the surface area of land that is mined,
the surface area of land associated with a mining activity so
that soil is exposed to accelerated erosion, the surface area of
land on which overburden and waste is deposited, and the
surface area of land used for processing or treatment plant,
stockpiles, nonpublic roads, and settling ponds.'
As you can see, "affected land" would include any areas
cleared and grubbed for the purposes of exposing the surface soil to
conduct mining -related activities. This includes the mine excavation
itself, erosion and sedimentation control measures, earthen berms,
temporary scrap metal storage areas, plant area, shop and office
areas, scales, roadways, tailings ponds, equipment storage areas, and
any other activity on the site that is directly related to the mining
operation.

Dear Mr. Davis:_—
Please help me understand some terminology that is used in various mining reports.
Just precisely what is meant by
a) "disturbed" areas?
b) "disturbed and unreclaimed" land?
I refer you to three places where 1 have seen these words:
1) your Annual Reclamation Report form, item 4, including the "note' at the bottom of the
page.
2) Your letter of July 17, 1998, to Steve Whitt, Martin Marietta, regarding Permit # 68-02 see
last sentence of first page.
3) Steve Whitt's letter to you, dated April 29, 1998, see first paragraph.
It appears to me that "disturbed areas' probably include the mine pit excavation itself plus the
berms. Is that correct? Or are some other areas also included in "disturbed" , such as waste
piles, tailing ponds, stock piles, etc.?
Your detailed explanation of what's included and what's excluded would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Subject: Additional Requested Information
Mine Permit Modification
Chapel Hill Quarry — Permit #68-02
Dear Mr. Sample:
I sent a package of information to you dated June 8, 1998 and omitted an item that was
referenced in the letter. This submittal contained additional information that you needed in order
to complete your review of the above referenced mine permit modification.
This additional information is the calculation sheets for the sediment basins shown on the plans.
Based on a comment by the regional office, you had requested that we show calculations
supporting the spillway sizes for the 25-year storm. As noted in the cover letter dated June 8,
1998, the spillways are adequate for the storm event.
Please include this information with the other items previously submitted.
Since ely,

Mine Permit Modification
Chapel Hill Quarry — Permit #68-02
Dear Mr. Sample:
By.
.JUN 101998
In accordance with our phone conversations, I would like to submit this response to cover the
items listed in the Regional Office comments. As you are aware, the stream relocation that is
contained in this modification is also under review by the Water Quality Section. Many of the
items listed by the Regional Office focus on items that may also be of concern to the Water
Quality Section. In our efforts to satisfy the concerns of each Division we have submitted plans
that incorporated both good land quality measures and good water quality measures but at times
the practices of these 2 systems seems to conflict with each other.
The following comment's address your list faxed to me on June 4, 1998:
The sediment trap calculations submitted with the modification included spillway
sections that were sized using the I 0-year storm event. These calculations have been
modified to include the 25-year storm event. Based on the fact that the 10-year and the
25-year storm events are so close in depth, the calculations do not change the spillway
dimensions that were shown on the original submittal. Tile Q10 and the Q25 are basically
the same and the design sheets submitted do not change.
Bermuda grass has been added to the seed mixture at a rate of 10 lbs. per acre as
suggested on page 1 G-11 in the Surface Mining Manual. The revised seed mixture is
shown on the Mine Map.
Temporary liners have not been considered for the diversion ditches. As covered by the
design calculations, the allowable velocities are greater than the calculated velocities
based on the lining shown. I understand the Regional Office concern and desire to see
liners but we are required to inspect the basins each week and they are dipped as soon as
needed. Due to the fact that this is a mining operation, equipment is on site to handle this
task.
4. The 2 ditches that have calculated velocities greater than the allowable velocities, TDI &
TD2, do eventually drain to the pit which is simply internal drainage. I do not see any
need to address design of these structures.

June 8, 1998

5. The channel relocation construction sequence has been modified to address the noted
concerns. The relocated channel tie-in at Phil's Creek and upstream will be stabilized by
the use of rip -rap. This area must however be minimized based on the requirements by
the Corps of Engineers and the Division of Water Quality with respect to our permits
from their offices. The check dams shown have been modified to include stone of
adequate size.
6. The channel cross section will be modified to allow for stabilization of the normal -(low
channel. The original submittal showed a vertical side of 18 inches and this can be placed
on a 1.5:1 slope to allow for seeding. The attached drawings show the modified design.
This modification along with the installation of pool & riffle areas and a meandering
channel will keep the velocity down to a minimum. It is suspected that the Division of
Water Quality will require these features to meet their needs. Your office will be kept
informed on the negotiations on this matter as they proceed.
7. The headwater issue at the pipe is not a concern. Martin Marietta now owns the property
previously shown as the Justice property, which lies upstream from the pipe. This tract
includes approximately 500 feet of this stream above the pipe. If water does back-up due
to a large storm event, it will be on Martin Marietta property. 1 have modified the Mine
Map to show this clarification.
8. The pipe outlet will be constructed with at least NCDOT Class I rip -rap placed 18" thick.
It is hoped that this submittal will complete your review of this application. Please contact this
office if any additional information is needed on this matter.
Sincerely,

Construction Sequence
Channel Relocation — Chapel Hill Quarry
Phase I
Receive approval from the Corps of Engineers and the Land Quality Section.
Locate. channel centerline and flag clearing limits.
Clear- and grub_ the area at the end of the channel for the construction of the first check dam.
I�Zstall the first check dam .
I
Clear and grub the remaining area inside the clearing limits.
Construct the lower section of the channel (station 8+00 to 9+00) as it intersects with Phil Creek.
Install the other 2 rock check dams along this last 100 feet of channel to collect sediment from
the project before it enters Phils Creek.
Phase Ii
Continue with the construction of the channel from station 8+00 up to the outlet of the 54" pipe
at station 2+20.
Inspect the rock check dams on a daily basis to insure that they are functioning properly and that
any accumulated sediment is removed.
.If additional rock checks are needed along the channel constructed in Phase 11 they will be
installed according to the details included for Phase I.
Phase III
Install 170' of 54" diameter pipe from station 0+50 to station 2+20.
Construct a stabilized outlet structure as shown in the attached plans at the outlet of the 54" pipe.
Ply ace rip -rap at the channel intersection with Phil's Creek.
Phase IV
Remove all accumulated sediment from the rock check dams and remove dam structures.
Construct the last section of the channel (station 0+50 to station 0+00).
Seed exposed areas according to the seeding schedule and plan seedlings as noted on the plans.
TOTAL PROJECT TIME IS ESTIMATED TO BE 3 MONTHS.

------------------------------------ Message Contents -------------
We have completed our review and offer the following comments: /
(1) DWQ/DAQ comments are to be faxed and don't indicate any
particular problems from their perspective. p S
y
(2) Proposed sediment traps should be acceptable, but the spillways
were not designed far the 25-year storm. It is estimated that the
proposed spillways should accommodate the diference between the (�
10-year and 25-year storms; however, it may be a good idea to have _
them verify this by calculation.
(3) Proposed ground cover specifications appear adequate for the G✓'(. Y^ 'fi?
species indicated, but Bermuda was not included consistent with the
diversion ditch designs. r, temporary liners have not been ) �%
considered for the ditches;; and and although TOl 5 TD2 will drain JP ,y `F
internal without sediment problems if pit expansion progresses as
intended, they will not be stable and could cause rapid filling of ,,f,^
trap 6. W
(4) The proposed channel relocation needs additional work. In Phase
I of the construction, clearing and grubbing needs to be phased so
that the exposed area is minimized when the initial device is 1.
installed. The drainage area for this disturbance even prior to
diversion of the stream appears significant. The relocated section
should be stabilized prior to diversion of stream flow (or ultimate
drainage area), and the tie-ins at Phil's Creek and the US end moat G�TjN a
be armored as necessary to ensure proper stabilization. The proposed
check dams may provide adequate sediement control for the short-term, f9s'
but they must be constructed with larger structural stone per the
guidelines. Lastly, stabilization of the channel must be fully
addressed'. How will they stabilize the pilot channel with its
proposed vertical side -slopes? The average design velocity will
approach 5 fps in the overall channel; what kinds of temporary liners
will be used?
(5) The proposed culvert design has not considered headwater. It
appears that HW will be significant and may result in undesirable US
flooding during the design event. The outlet apron looks acceptable,
but must be constructed with at least NCDOT Class I rip -rap placed 18"
thick.
1 do not recommend approval until these issues have -been addressed
satisfactorily. If there are any questions, please advise.

DATE: Junc 3, 1998
SUBJECT: Mining Permit Modification Request for Martin Marietta Aggregates, Chapel Hill
Quarry, Phils Creek, Cape Fear Basin, Orange County, North Carolina - Permit No.
68-02
Biologists on the Wildlife Resources Commission staff have reviewed the subject document
and are familiar with habitat values of the project area. A site visit was made to the area on May 12,
1998. The modifications were discussed with Ken Brown, Mine Manager and Steve Whitt,
Environmental Engineer. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining
Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982) (G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
The proposed modification includes the addition of 14.4 acres to expand the current
operation. The additional acres include 7.6 acres of new berm and 6.8 acres of pit expansion. The
expansion will require the relocation of an unnamed tributary to Phils Creek shut is classified as
WS-IV.
The width of the stream varies from approximately 4-7 feet. Although it is probably
classified as an intemtittent stream; snails and some aquatic insects, probably of the order
Trichoptera were observed in the creek. The stream flows through a good quality forested area
consisting primarily of mature yellow popular, white oak, red oak, Ioblolly pine and red maple.
OUr major concern with this project is the impacts to the intermittent stream and the
associated good quality riparian habitat, What we believe (a red -tail was calling in the area) to be a
red-tailed hawk nest is located in a large loblolly pine in relatively close proximity of the upstream
reach of the rc location, There were also a number of trees on the ground from a recent storm that
are providing good cover for small mammals, reptiles and amphibians,
We have the following recommendations and requests to minimize impacts to aquatic and
terrestrial life and the habitat of the area:
The new stream channel should be designed with a similar width/depth ratio and meander
length as the existing stream and replace the lost functions of the abandoned channel. We

NCWRC,HCP,FRLLS LAKE TEL:[phone] Jun 03,98 8:03 No.001 P.03
Martin Marietta 68-06 i 2 0 June 3, 1998
Chapel Hill Quarry, Orange County
recommend that the design follow the Dave Rosgen methods of strelmi relocation.
Additionally, we recommended that large canopy trees be avoided if possible, especially any
large white oaks, red oaks or hickory. The loblolly pine with the red-tailed hawk nest and
other large trees that protrude above the main canopy should be protected because this site is
likely to be used again for nesting.
2. To help maintain the integrity of the riparian habitat and protect water quality, we request
that a 50-foot buffer be maintained in forested habitat alon? the unnamed tributary and that a
minimum 100-foot forested buffer be maintained along Phils Creek in those areas where the
pit has not already encroached closer than 100-feet. In those areas where mining has
approached closer than I00-feet, we request that the remaining riparian buffer be retained in
a native forested condition, be planted with high quality trees suitable for the area or be
allowed to undergo natural succession.
3. We recommend that top soil from the new channel be removed and stockpiled separately.
Once the channel has been shaped, this material can be placed along the banks and in the
overbank area of the stream. These soils should be fertile and contain significant seed
sources of plants of this area, which should insure a rapid stabilization of the stream channel.
Excess top soils could be spread over the berm adjacent to the relocated stream, which
should produce better plant and tree growth; and thus, increased stabilization. if additional,
stabilization of the banks is needed, shade tolerant species will need to be selected. Red
maple (Ater rubrum) and ironwood (Carpinus americana) and shrubs such as dogwood
(Cornus florida and C. alternlfolia).
4. We request that the stream channel be given sufficient time for vegetation to become well
established prior to turning water into the new channel.
5. The 170-foot of stream channel under the berm should be mitigated either on -site or through
the wetland restoration program.
6 We recommend that boles of large trees that are down that are not suitable for salvage be
stockpiled or left in place if they will not interfere with the new stream construction. Once
the channel is constructed and stabilized, the downed -logs can be placed near or extend into
the overbank areas to provide habitat for plants and small animals. If there is a surplus of
slash or boles these could be placed along the berm to increase the complexity of habitat in
that area.
7. We recommend that loblolly pine (Plnus tacda) and high quality hardwoods, such as white
oak (Quercus albs), post oak (Q. stellara), black oak (Q. velutina), southern red oak (Q.
f dcala), shagbark hickory (Caga ovata), and persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) be planted
on the berm along the relocated stream and be spaced 12 feet apart. We recommend
planting approximately 2()% pine and 80% hardwood. Loblolly pine should do well over the
entire berm. Plant white oak and shagbark hickory along the lower edges of the berm, use
persimmon throughout, and post oak, southern red oak and black oak on drier upper parts of
the berm.
$, We request that we be notified prior to beginning construction of the stream so we can
observe the channel construction, at planting and when the water is turned in.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this application_ If I can be of
further assistance, please contact me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Davis:
Enclosed please find duplicate copies of a completed Application for a Mining Permit
Modification to cover the disturbance of an additional 14.4 acres at the above referenced facility.
The additional acres included in this submittal cover 7.6 acres of new berm and 6.8 acres of pit
expansion.
Included with this submittal you will find the following:
+ Completed first 2 pages of the application form
• Check #98-009068 in the amount of $250 to cover the permit processing fee
• Revised mine map showing the changes
• Erosion control details for the new berm
• Engineering drawings and details for a relocated drainage channel
In order for the pit to expand at this site, an unnamed tributary to Phils Creek must be relocated
for 900 feet. Both the Corps of Engineers and the NC Division of Water Quality have been to the
site to inspect the project area. The appropriate permit application forms have been submitted to
these agencies to cover this relocation. The channel was not viewed by either agency as a
significant stream and wetlands were not an issue. Detailed engineering drawings are included
that show the channel cross sections, cut depths, erosion control and revegetation plan. As the
plans show, 170' of the distance will be covered by a 54" diameter pipe under the berm.

The mine map includes a seeding schedule for general vegetation, a typical berm detail, bench
diagram, diversion ditch detail and pipe outlet stabilization for the 54" pipe. This is also a new
CAD generated map that includes color codes for various site features.
It is critical to the production processes at this site that additional pit area becomes available in
the next few months. Anything that your department can do to process this modification in a
minimal amount of time would be greatly appreciated. We understand that the unnamed tributary
relocation can not take place until the Corps of Engineers and the Division of Water Quality
complete their permitting process. Receiving approval from your office to begin construction on
part of this new berm will allow the site the new pit area that is needed.

Construction Sequence
Channel Relocation — Chapel Hill Quarry
Phase
Receive approval from the Corps of Engineers and the Land Quality Section.
Locate channel centerline and flag clearing limits.
Clear and grub the area inside of the clearing limits.
Construct the lower section of the channel (station 8+00 to 9+00) as it intersects with Phil Creek.
Install a series of 3 rock check dams along this last 100 feet of channel to collect sediment from
the project before it enters Phils Creek. Install the rock check dam closest to Phils Creek as soon
as possible.
Phase II
Continue with the construction of the channel from station 8+00 up to the outlet of the 54" pipe
at station 2+20.
Inspect the rock check dams on a daily basis to insure that they are functioning properly and that
any accumulated sediment is removed.
If additional rock checks are needed along the channel constructed in Phase 11 they will be
installed according to the details included for Phase I.
Phase III
Install 170' of 54" diameter pipe from station 0+50 to station 2+20.
Construct a stabilized outlet structure as shown in the attached plans at the outlet of the 54" pipe.
Phase IV
Remove all accumulated sediment from the rock check dams and remove dam structures.
Construct the last section of the channel (station 0+50 to station 0+00).
Seed exposed areas according to the seeding schedule and plan seedlings as noted on the plans.
TOTAL PROJECT TIME IS ESTIMATED TO BE 3 MONTHS.

RE: High Air Blast Value Calculated for the Production Blast'
on January 26, 1994
American Stone Company
Chapel Hill Quarry
Mining Permit No. 68-02
Orange County
Dear Mr. Kovach:
This office has completed its review of the 42 blast records
your company provided for blasts conducted at the above referenced
^ quarry from January 4, 1994 through October 21, 1994. All of the
records yielded ground vibration and airblast values within the
limits of your mining permit with the exception of one blast. As
you are aware, Mr. Tracy Davis of the Land Quality Section
calculated an airblast value of 130 DBL at the closest offsite
structure for the January 26, 1994 blast. This value is in excess
of the maximum airblast limit of 128 DBL specified by Mining Permit
No. 68-02,
In response to Mr. Davis' request, you sent a letter dated
January 6, 1995 addressing how your company intends to address the
excessive airblast reading that likely occurred on January 26,
1994. This office has evaluated your letter and concurs with your
remedial action plan that has already been implemented. The plan
included the following:
1) All blasting/drilling and management personnel attended
a. two-day drilling and blasting course, covering all
phases of blast layout, loading, blasting and monitoring,
in February 1994;
2) Blasting personnel have subsequently decreased the
borehole diameter from five and one-half inches to four
and one-half inches as the maximum diameter hole drilled
on this site for stone production for all future blasts;

3) Blasting personnel have reduced the explosives load-per.7
hole from a possible maximum of 470 pounds to 325 pounds
for all future blasts;
4) Blasting personnel have designed all blasts to detonate
only one fully -loaded hole per delay, unless approved,by
the Production Manager or Explosives Department, for All
future blasts.
In addition to the above corrective actions, the following
procedures must also be instituted (if not already a part of your
company's standard blasting procedures for this site): '•.
f
1) A detailed evaluation of geologic conditions along the
face and body of each shot shall be conducted and
accounted for, prior to all future shots to insure that
excess venting of explosive gases does not take place.
2) Hole loading adjustments shall be made for any holes that
may be affected by unusual geologic conditions, such as
cracks or voids, on all future shots.
.t
3) Extreme care shall, be taken in the loading and stemming
of all future blast holes at the site and, if any hole
has the appearance of not being fully able to confine the
explosive charge, all suspect holes shall be covered with
a load of crusher fines to further minimize stemming
ejection potential.
i.S
4) At least one seismograph shall be setup at the closest
offsite occupied structure, or as near to it as possible,
for all future blasts so that a direct correlation can be
drawn between the seismograph recordings and the maximum
limits outlined in Hining'Permit No_ 68-02,.
5) A detailed review of the blast logs and seismograph
recordings for all future shots shall be completed to
determine if the above precautions have been effective in t• r
reducing excess venting of explosive gases. If the above
precautions prove ineffective, your company must provide
the Department additional precautions your company
intends to utilize in the future to address this issue.
In order to reduce excessive airblast readings in the future,
your company is hereby required to adhere to the above
recommendations at this site. These recommendations shall be
considered as part of the blasting requirements outlined in mining

Mining Permit Renewal Request
Chapel Hill Quarry
Mining Permit No. 65-02
Orange County
Dear Ms. Cameron:
e
The review has been completed on your renewal request for the
above referenced mining permit. The following additional
information is required before the review can be completed:
1. The renewal request includes 118 acres to be permitted_
The original permit was issued for approximately 104
acres. The map submitted with the renewal request
appears to include approximately 150 acres within the
permit boundary. Please clarify the acreage you wish io
have permitted at this site and send the appropriate fees
to cover any modifications.
2. The direction and extent of the pit expansion for the
life of the permit is also needed. It appears that a 401 I�
Certification has been issued for the relocation of
Phil's Creek. However, please be advised that a major
modification must be submitted to and approved by this
office before such activities can be initiated.
Please note, that due to the location of a critical area
watershed downstream from this site, the Division of Environmental
Management has voiced some concerns that an individual permit,
rather than a general certification, be issued for this site.
Please contact Mr. Arthur Mouberry at [phone] regarding this
matter_
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT OUR REVIEW CANNOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL ALL OF
THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE HAVE BEEN FULLY ADDRESSED.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tony Sample, Assistant MinirRg Specia;zt
FROM: John Holley, Regional Eng
SUBJECT: Chapel. Hill Quarry (68-02)
Orange County
We have completed our review of the subject revised application
and 'Tim's comments are attached. While I agree that there are no
problems with the current site or the erosion and sedimentation
control plan for the proposed immediate activity limits, I would
point out that the acreage to be covered by the permit is not
consistent with the submitted map or current file.
The current computer record indicates that the existing permit
covers 77 acres. That was consistent with the original
application for the site, but was changed to about 118 acres when]
the permit was last renewed in 1982. Comparing the 1980/82 maps
with the current submittal reveals a couple of problems. First,
in 1982 the 118 acres consisted of a 100 acre tract along SR 1104
and an approximately 18 acre tract north of Phil's Creek. The".
current submittal adds an approximately 32 acre tract to the west
off NC 54 that was previously owned by Philip Durham. This means
o
that instead of 118 acres, the current application appears to cover
last
S4\
approximately 150 acres. Lastly, the map. rovided with the
reneV,al indicat e it e_ xpa th northwest acoY`� v
Q 's Cr ek. The maps submitted with the current application
seem to restrict pit development to the area between SR 1104 and Q
y�
Phil's Creek, yet a buffer zone is designated around the entire
property boundary indicating the potential for a much more
`1
significant affected area. In a conversation with Horace Willson,
Ow,,
it was noted that they plan only to expand the pit to the east,
t`
eventually taking in SR 1104 and connecting the pit to the old
quarry to the southeast on OWASA property.
The direction and extent of pit expansion intended for the life of
this permit should be clarified in the application and on the
maps. Further, the property to be covered by this permit should
be clearly indicated on the map and should be consitent with the
application. Depending on what they plan to do with the added
acreage and when, the proposal may need to be considered as a.
major modification.
If there are any questions, please advise.

Subject: Pre -blast Surveys as Conditions of Quarry Permits
------------------------------------- Message Contents ------------------------------------
Yesterday, I spoke with Mr. Earl Dahzinger who is involved in an
ongoing zoning dispute between American Stone (MMA) and OWSA, Chapel
Hill and Carrboro (Remember the Rem Malloy blasting complaint in which�p?/
I evaluated 80+ records and a graduate student was his blasting
"consultant"?). It seems that MMA wants to double the size of its
Chapel Hill Quarry which is alledgedly located in a "protected"
watershed. All three local authorities are evaluating this proposed
change to the watershed rules (Carrboro seems to be the most
concerned).
Mr. Danzinger is a consultant working to gather environmental and
public safety info on the mining operation. I have given him some
information in the past. However, while reviewing an OSM policy guide
regarding regulation of coal mines (provided to him by Paxton Badham
to show that NC's 1.0 ips limit is half the federal limit), Mr.
Danzinger noted that OSM requires the following in Sec. 515(b)(.15)(e)
regarding blasting:
"The owner/resident must be notified at least 30 days prior to the
start of the blasting of how they may request a pre -blast survey..."
from the International Society of Explosive Engineers, [phone].
It goes on to state that if a pre -blast survey is requested, the
operator must pay for one to be conducted. Mr. Danzinger asked if we
are subject to this federal policy and if we require such surveys in
our mining permits. I said no, that OSM regulates coal mining and NC
does not have any coal mining; thus, our state law is the only
governing mining statute for non -coal mining in NC.
I told him that pre -blast surveys are voluntary and are at the
discretion of each operator, as there are pros and cons to such
surveys and they can be expensive. I noted that as long as the
blasting does not exceed our vibration and airblast limits at the
closest occupied structure, we feel the public is protected against
damage.
He seemed to understand but wanted me to ask you if we could begin
placing the above as a permit condition ... so that people who had
concerns about blasting damage could have the surveys done, and those
who didn't care, wouldn't. He felt this would provide some "real"
data that could be monitored/evaluated and used, by either side, to
support its case, should their be a future dispute.
What are your thoughts on including this as a permit condition, so I
can inform him should he call me in the future?
Thanks!

Mr. Danziger of Chapel Hill called (942-1638) about mining questions.
He is particularly interested in the fed mining law and how the state
law overlaps. I think he is getting towards a blasting
complaint..... he was asking alot about the requirement noted in the
fed law concerning pre -blast surveys. Paxton Badham had given him
some federal mining manual dated 1987 with all this info in it.
ANyway, he would like for you to call him back. Good luck!!

Thank you for your input. As you said stone quarrys last for decades and that
is precisely the reason a pre blast survey would be appropriate , since it
would allow one to distinguish damage caused by blasting from damage to due to
other zeasonsas specified in the Blasting Guidance Manual. Nevertheless I
understand your bosses reluctance to tackle a politically explosive (no pun
intended) situation at this time.
I was a little disappointed the that your organization is unaware of the
very strict zoning in the very real protected Univ. watershed in which this
particular mine operates. Had the mine NOT existed prior to the say
establishment
of the Uviv.watershed regulations, there is no doubt in my mind that it would
never have p been permitted in that locate location. However that is the past
and we must now look to the future and minimize the environmental damage and
prprerty property damage as well as the noise nuisance that has gotten worse
in the past two years as the mine increases its noisy equipment.
You may wish to contact Mary Willis of the Orange County Planning Office to
verify that the mine is indeed located in the protected Univ. watershed.
A new Mello Tear quarry located in the Rural Buffer a lower classification
of land use was NOT permitted by the county some years ago.
Anyway thanks for your help, you seem to be one of the few state employees

1. Executive Summary
SONDI Company was contracted by OWASA to complete an independent investigation of
ground velocities and airblast levels from American Stone Company's operation of the Chapel Hill
Quarry. The contract was in response to public concern over potential blast related damage and
disturbance to private property and individuals near the Quarry. The contract with OWASA
specified that SONDI: (a) review all available ground velocity and airblast measurements and
geological conditions for compliance with North Carolina and US limits for safe and publicly
acceptable use of industrial explosives at the Quarry, and (b) examine allegations violations of the-0%VP3A1 o�;�

In addition to the DPV-dB analysis, SONDI has also examined the possibility that, in the
past, random factors beyond the control of the Quarry operators may have resulted in non-
compliance with the permit. Statistical analysis of the monitor records suggest that only for

2. Introduction,
This report is the result of a third party review contract between SONDI Company of
Durham, NC, and Orange Water and Sewer Authority of Carborro, NC. The purpose of the
review was to independently establish the history of ground vibrations and airblast levels produced
by explosions in the Chapel Hill Quarry in Orange County. The review was instigated in response
to�public.concern that blasting pract ccs in the_Quatry-were-in-exceedence of..the_Quarry's_oper� at o

The report provides. (a) a history of Masts and blast monitoring, including a histogram of
blast sizes, and (b) maps of observed ground velocity and airblast dBl. levels, including the
locations of structures in the Chapel Hill Quarry area. These maps are used to establish the
compliance of the Quarry operation within the limits allowed by the Quarry permit and by the
general limits set by North Carolina and the US. The maps presented were constructed. from actual

unusual site effects exist which might produce unexpected levels of velocity. It is noted that
OWASA's Quarry Reservoir, adjacent to American Stone's active quarry pit, appears to create
special conditions with respect to the airblast levels. Direct measurements of the blast signals
suggest that such local conditions causes slower attenuation of the airblast.
All of the 217 blasts conducted at the Chapel Hill Quarry have been monitored at a
minimum of one ground location in the Quarry region. [Additional, non -mandatory monitoring at
more than one ground point was also conducted for several of these explosions, yielding a total of
-223 particle velocity and 222 airblast measurements, one of the monitors failing to register an
\,airblast reading. Based on charge size and particle velocity, this recording was highly unlikely to
exceed permitted limits. Ali the data were used to construct the maps. Not all the measurements
were taken at or near the structures in the Quarry region. The blast monitoring data and structure
sites are located in terms of map coordinates from the intersection of Highway 54 and Bethel Rd.

None of the direct 223 ground velocity and 222 airblast measurements exceeded the DPV-
dBl. limits set by the Quarry permit, or by North Carolina and US standards, irrespective of
location, including measurements made at specific structures. Based on 95% confidence intervals
(1 chance in 20), except in 8 cases of airblast levels, it appears highly unlikely that random factors
of blast size errors, blast delay interval errors, local soil conditions, and monitoring equipment
errors would have masked any blasting practices that exceeded the permitted levels in 209 of the
217 quarry blasts. There appears to be about a 1 in 20 chance that for 8 charges larger than 500�>
lb., the airblast signal could have exceeded permitted.levels.
Based on the maps of ground velocity and airblast dBs, it is concluded that for properly
located charges below 500 lb. or so, the Chapel Hill Quarry has been, and can be, operated within
North Carolina limits without any special precautions. Acharge-levels exceeding 500 lb. it is r '�

general guide to estimating ground velocity and airblast levels at specific sites. Further site specific
data can be added to better constrain these estimates. Ultimately, a more complete map of ground
velocity and airblast dB should be created for the Quarry region.
This report also reviews the regulations and methods used to determine compliance with
ground velocity and airblast regulations. Particular reference is made to the citizens report Blast
and Explosive Withdrawal Data by Local Citizens of Southern Orange County, specifically with
respect to the use of Scaled Distance Equation (SDE) methods versus the direct measurements
described here. Special effects due to soil profiles are also considered.

3. Blast Particle Velocity and Airblast Limits in NC and the U.S. in General
Environmental damage and public disturbance from quarry blasts of the type used at the
Chapel Quarry are most commonly caused by ground and air pressure vibrations. The ground
vibrations from quarry blasts result from 2 phenomena: (If) direct compression and fracture -of the
uat7 materials_b the ex losion and 2 the falling of blasted materials. Commonly, only
y` Y_�P O g R Y
vibrations from the first phenomena contain sufficient energy to be detectable at regulated distances
away from the blast. Air pressure vibrations result from several sources, including' 5
ttrarismiss__�on of ground vibrations into the atmosphere, (2) direct release of high pressure
expl ion_gases-.md=gas=vibrations_to.the atmosphere, and (3) secondary vibrations generated by
falling blast materials. Generally, the first 2 sources contribute the greatest proportion of air
pressure vibrations.
Environmental damage and public disturbance from ground and air pressure vibrations
arise when the mechanical and sensory tolerances of structural and biological systems are
exceeded. If, for example, a building foundation is moved rapidly back and forth over large
enough distances, it experiences large accelerations and consequent internal forces. If the forces
exceed the strength of the foundation, it will simply fall apart and lose its ability to support the
overlying structure. A large acceleration might also place the foundation far from the center of
gravity of its overlying structure, causing the downward force of the structure to exceed part or. all -It
I'
of its internal carrying capacity, causing part or all of the structure to collapse. Air pressure I R
vibrations work in similarways, with subaudiable differences between different parts of a building' "
causing it to creak and rattle audibly.
Clearly ground and air pressure vibrations are part of the natural environment, including
sources as pleasant as a waterfall. Yet few individuals would choose to live or build homes under
a waterfall however watertight the structure might be: the mechanical vibrations alone would
become dangerous to both the structure and its occupants. The vibrations from quarry blasting can y
be considered in a similar vein, with acceptable levels being considerably more difficult to
establish. Traditionally, such levels have been established on the basis of community standards,
which have historically evolved with both the community and level of engineering technology.
The current national and state standards for acceptable quarry blasting practices have evolved in
'this fashion and these limits are discussed below.
A. Background and Summary of Policy Documents.
Standards for maximum allowed ground velocity and airblast for quarrying operations have
been established by both the State of North Carolina and the U.S. Department of Interior. For the

purposes of the present study, the important limits are those that apply to structures outside of the
area permitted for quarrying operations. These particular limits have been established to insure
both public safety and protection of private property from the direct effects of the quarrying
activity. The documents currently establishing the maximum ground velocity and airblast limits
are:
1. North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 - GS. 74-46.
2. Code of Federal Regulation, Vol. 30, Part 817.67, revised as of 7.1.93.
Another useful document often referred to in the setting of permissible limits to blasts
i
related to quarrying, road building, and other types of ground and air motion generating activities
is:
3. U.S. Department of Transportation Publication No. FHWA-HI-92-001
Rock Blasting and Qverbreak Control.
Safe limits to the vibrations and sound produced by industrial blasts are based on the
velocity of ground motion and air pressure measured at the nearest occupied structure. It is
important to note that the limits are referenced -to a "single charge", an explosion whose energy
release is concentrated within specified time limits. In the documents above, a single charge, or
"delay", is2efined as any explosive energy release,separated by less than 8 milliseconds (ms). It
is standard practice to included multiple delays in a quarry excavation event of the type commonly
used at the Chapel Hill Quarry. In these events the delays are loaded into spatially separated shot
holes, with the timing of their individual charges controlled by a central, calibrated, detonation
system. In reporting the size of the charge used in the excavation event,&& largest amount of
fexplosive detonated wit�y_8.ms.is,recorded as the delay size.
The velocity of ground motion, for which standard measurement methods have existed for
several decades, is directly and easily converted to ground acceleration. Accelerations greater than
1 g (g being the acceleration of gravity at the earth's surface) are certain to produce destructive
shaking since objects are likely to become airborne. Evem:at significantly-1e velsf
acceleration, soils and standard liuUding material are likely to show-vibratQ stress effects 'that -may

With respect to dangerous air pressures associated with blasting and other industrial
activities, a measurement scale based on the pressure of humanly audible sounds has been
established. This scale is based on the pressure difference, usually called "overpressure" and
measured in pounds per square inch, between a given sound and the lowest humanly audible

Linear (clBl.) results in a regulatory warning, 132 dBl. in a caution, and 135 1
dBl. in non-compliance for maximum at the nearest occupied structure C-
outside of the area permitted for quarrying.
Because of the inherent uncertainties in both ground velocity and airblast measurement
equipment and their setup in the field, the commonly accepted tolerances of these limits are
velocities and sounds that are within a few percent of the maximums (±0.03'Ys and ± 3 dB).
A face -value comparison of these limits shows that the current limits established in North
Carolina are more restrictive (i.e., less likely to result in claims of damages due to blasting). (Tbe_ (1�

Also, within the scope of the investigation conducted here, no formal error limits were
found to exist for the NC maximums on velocity and airblast levels. Inquiries to the Land Quality
Section of the NC Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources suggest that the
same or better error standards, as used in the federal limits apply. This allowable error would take
into account the variability of atmospheric and local ground conditions.
C. Methods of Establishing Compliance to Permitted Limits.
In both North Carolina and Federal cases, there are three allowed methods of establishing
compliance with these blast regulations:
Direct measurement of peak ground velocity and dB (DPV-dB)
2. The Scaled Distance Equation (SDE) method
The Frequency -Dependent Blasting Level Chart (FDBLC) method
The preferred method is the direct measure approach, which should be done at the location of
the specific site in question. Wit p ly calibrated equipmentand.recordingtec— h q , this
method can assure that site specific compliance exists, irrespective of factors such as blast size
errors and local soil conditions. In the case

sound. The common standard used is the so called decibel (dB) scale, which gives relative sound
values in logarithmic form. The dB scale relationships are:
Sound level in dB = 20 log (Pn-t/Po)
Pm = air pressure in psi
Po = 2.9 x 10-9 psi = lowest audible (low frequency) sound
The value of Po is somewhat subjective, since the lowest audible sound level depends on
the frequency of the sound and the sensitivity of the listener. To take the frequency dependence
into account, dB designations for specific frequency ranges have been established and are given the
labels A, B, C, and Linear. The alphabetic dB designations specify frequency ranges
corresponding to the response of the human ear (50 to 10,000 Hz). The Linear (dBI.) designation
corresponds to peak, or maximum, overpressures independent of frequency. The peak Linear
measure is more restrictive, since the response of the human ear falls off sharply at low
frequencies, where blast vibrations are the strongest.
B. Maximum Ground Velocity and Airblast Overpressure Limits
Currently (1994), for publicly safe and acceptable industrial blasting, the limits for each single
explosion, or "delay", established in the documents above are:
1. North Carolina_(1.994):- Maximum ground velocity of 1"/s and airblast of 128 dBl
Iat'the aren est occupied structure outside of the area permitted for quarrying.
2. Federal (1994): Maximum limits based on:
a. Ground velocity at a structure outside of the permitted area
Distances of 0-300 ft:1.25"/s
SDistance of 301-5,i ft: 000_0 ft: T"/s�
Distances of 5,001-_ 75"/s
UL_ - -
b. Airblast at a structure outside of the permitted area:
0-0.1 Hz: 134 + 3 dB
0.1-2 Hz: 133 + 3 dB
2-6 Hz: 129 + 3 dB
The specific permits governing the operation of the Chapel Hill Quarry by the American
Stone Company are contained in the Appendix of this report (Documents 1 and 2). Review of
these latter documents show that they are in keeping with the guidelines listed above, with the
exception of past airblast levels. With respect to airblasts, it should be noted that while the current
operation permit for the Chapel Hill Quarry is based on these standards, an earlier permit, which
expired on September 27, 1992 set the following different standards for the airblast overpressure:
E

The Scaled Distance Equation (SDE) method is frequently used when no direct monitoring
observations are available. It is based ' on empirical relationships between blast size and
observation distance, and gives estimated values for ground velocity and airblast dB. Unlike the
DPV-dB method, this method does not allow for any local peculiarities such as effective charge
size and soil conditions. For estimating maximum (a) ground velocity and (b) airblast dB, the
important empirical factors in the SDE method are the ratios of observation distance to the (a)
square root of charge size and (b) cube root of charge size:
(Particle Velocity) = h x (Distance / Square Root Charge Wt) b ,
(Airblast) = i x (Distance / Cube Root Charge Wt) c ,
Based on experience with blasting conditions, standard, non -site specific values have been
established for the factors h, b, i, and c. These factors can be used to convert the observed ratios
into estimated ground velocity and dB values.
The frequency Dependent Blasting Level Chart (FDBLC) uses frequency dependent
measurements of velocity and dB levels. This method takes into account effects such as variable
blasting and recording conditions, which might be strong functions of frequency. As such, to
verify compliance, its use requires more sophisticated monitoring equipment than the peak ground
velocity method and is less commonly used.
D. Comments on The Scale Distance Equation Method.
In the event that no direct measurements are available, the SDE method assumes set values
for the ratio of blast distance to the square root of the charge size. This ratio is called the scaled
distance. Both the NC and U.S. standards specify 55 as the minimum value for this ratio,
independent of site and other conditions. Thus, in the event of a value less than 55, either the
charge size must be lowered or the distance from the explosion increased.
Except for. special circumstances, use of the SDE method to establish permit compliance is
only an approximation, and inferior to direct measurement.
4. Ground Velocity and Airblast Data from the Chapel Hill Quarry
In compliance with their permit (see Documents 1 and 2) and NC State regulations,
American Stdne Company has monitored each of the 217 blasts at the Chapel Hill Quarry site in the
time period 4.1 1.89-3.4.94 (Table 1). The distribution of blast sizes in this period and 2
subperiods are shown in Figure 1. The maximum peak ground velocity and airblast have been
11

monitored using an Instantel Blastmate Series 1 model 677 logger. As required by NC law and by
standard operating practices, this e�qu�ipment has been calibrated on a regularis�(e.-g-,_see
Document 3},
L ese direct monitoring data suggest that none of the recorded maximum peak grounds
velocity and airblast dB levels exceeded the established limits of`l" 7s-and^128.dB1 at even the\ C ; ,
closest recording. sites outside of the quarry boundaries for the largest blast 'of 730 lbw The
recording sites were not all situated at nearby structures and not all possible nearby structures were
monitored.. However, since the chances that ground velocity data exceeded the NC limits are very
small, irrespective of occupied structures, the quarry has clearly operated within the ground
velocity limits of its permit.
5. Contour Maps of Average Observed (DPV-dB) Ground Velocities & Airblasts,
Figures 2 to 13 show maps of the monitoring and structure sites for the time period of our
study. The distances to the sites are referenced to the junction of Bethel Rd and Highway 54, and
are given in feet.
The values of ground velocity and airblast dB levels at sites where DPV-dB monitoring
measurements are not available can be estimated by regression analysis and contouring of the DPV-
dB data. In this method the maximum likely values of ground velocity and airblast dB are
projected by an empirical relationship between velocity, distance, and charge size. The accepted
relationship can be found in, for example, The Blasting Guidance Manual of the U.S. Department
of Interior, Office of Surface Mining and Reclamation and Enforcement (by M. F. Rosenthal &
G.L. Morlock, 1987). In the regression analysis, the existing direct monitoring data are
mathematically fit, in the least squares sense, to the empirical blast -distance -charge size relation.
To account for variation of local conditions and errors in the direct monitoring measurements, the
results of this regression analysis are traditionally give within statistical confidence limits.
The DPV-dB ground velocity and airblast level contours given here:= thus, average
values. The regression analysis also gives the standard error of the quarry blast observations.
From these errors the chances that random factors will produce ground motions larger than the
values shown on the maps can be estimated. A commonly accepted standard of certainty is that
there be less than a 1 in 20 chance that random factors cause the DPV-dB levels of a given blast to
exceed the contour level plus its standard error. This is also called the 95% confidence limit, since
on the average, 95 out of 100 random measurements in the study area will not exceed the expected
range of values. The values are provided in this report in Table 2 and are discussed in Section 5D.

A. Average DPV Ground Velocity Calculation
The PV method allows a group -of observations to be extended outside of a direct
monitoring area in a statistical sense. The empirical relationship for the regression analysis for
ground velocity is given by
(Particle Velocity) = H x (Distance / Square Root Charge Wt) B ,
where H and B are coefficients to be determined in the regression analysis. To establish the values
of H and B, the monitoring data from all 217 blasts at the Chapel Hill Quarry shown in Table 1
were used. To accomplish a fit to these data in a linear least -squares sense, the equation above was
put in the following form:
Log (Particle Velocity) = Log H + B x Log (Distance / Square Root Charge Wt).
The values of the regression show that in the Chapel Hill Quarry area the maximum ground
velocity values are given by
(Particle Velocity) = 64.82 x ( Distance / Square Root Charge Wt)-1.39
with correlation coefficient r = —0.714 and standard deviation s = 0.76 (see Table 2).
B. Average Airblast dB Calculation.
A similar regression can be applied to the airblast dB level data. In this case the appropriate
empirical relationship is scaled with the cube root of the charge weight. Using similar notation as
in the particle velocity relation, the equations for the airblast regression are:
(Airblast) = I x (Distance / Cube Root Charge Wt) C ,
where I and C are coefficients to be determined in the regression analysis.
Again, to establish the values of I and C, all 217 blast monitoring data from the Chapel Hill
Quarry were tabulated in Table I (see also Section 4.). To accomplish the fit in a linear least
squares sense, the equation above was put in the following form:
Log (Airblast) = Log I + C x Log (Distance / Cube Root Charge Wt).
The values of the regression show that in the Chapel Hill Quarry area the maximum ground
velocity values are given by:
13

(Airblast) = 192.01 x ( Distance / Square Root Charge Wt)`0•09
with correlation coefficient r = —0.517 and standard deviation s = 0.06 (see Table 2).
C. Contour Maps of Average Values Versus Charge Size & Location.
Based on the regression analyses of the Chapel Hill quarry DPV-dB data, maps of the
predicted average velocity and airblast values as a function of charge size are shown in Figures 2 to
13. Possible charge sizes from 24 lb. to 730 LB were included in this study. It is stressed that the
contours shown are averages over all 217 blasts. The aim of these figures to allow estimation of
the ground velocity and airblast levels at structures for which no direct DPV-dB monitoring data
exists.

In terms of the contour plots, the most useful way of expressing the 1 in 20 chance of
exceedence is to find multiplication factors for the DPV and dB levels from the regression analysis.
Based on the regressions, these factors are 3.1 and 1.1, respectively. In practical terms, these
factors can be used to create new contour maps from those shown in Figures 2 to 14, with the new
contours showing the level above which there is only 1 chance in 20 for the DPV-dB levels to be
greater.

6. Soil and Other Conditions at Selected Structures Near the Chapel Hill Quarry
LTh`eeontour maps of the Chapel Hill Quarry and surrounding area show several structures
near the northern quarry boundary, where the predicted maximum velocities come closest to,
pxceedipg the NC limits of 1 Vs. Outside of this area, the contour maps show that ground velocity -
falls off very rapidly. Thus, in addition to estimating the ground motion at these sites, it is
necessary to look at their soil conditions, as these can significantly effect ground velocities (see,
e,g., Reiter 1992). As a--1 rule, thick soil and withered layers can enhan ec men ot.. f the -

The soil types at each of the structures shown on the contour maps are listed in Table 3.
This table shows that roughly 6 ft of silt and loam is a common soil profile; with 6 of the 8
structures sitting on soil that is identified as having a base of weathered bedrock. At these sites, if
the actual 'depth to competent material is only 6 ft, it is unlikely that special resonance conditions
exist that could increase the direct measured velocity much beyond the 95% confidence levels cited
above. Thus;.;. less -some special geological circumstances exist in the immediate_ quarry -area;
local soilconditions-are unlikely to,contribute instances of illegal -ground vibration levels from ihe.D'_
quarry blasting. Given the rapid attenuation of ground motion outside of the iiftediate quarry
area, special vibration effects due to unusual soil conditions seem event even less likely.
An obvious feature of the airblast data and their average contour maps has to do with the
directional effects they suggest: the sound waves from the quarry explosions do not attenuate
uniformly in all directions. Further, the time variability of the airblast data suggest a number of
atmospheric factors also play roles in the sound levels produced by any given blast. This may be
particularly true for the sound waves over open areas within the quarry boundaries. The average
i contour maps and their 95% confidence bounds take such factors into account. These are
discussed further in Section 7.13.

7. Discussion, Conclusions, and Point -by -Point Recommendations.
A. Ground Velocity
Both the direct measurement data and estimated velocity maps indicate that the Chapel Hill /
Quarry has been operated within the limits of its permits for charge sizes less than those listed in '
Table 1. The direct measurement data indicate that, if current blasting practices are continued, �.
ground vibrations outside the boundaries of the Quarry will fall within legal limits.
With the data available in this report, the maps in Figure 2 to 13 can be used to predict
ground velocity and to determine charge size before the blast with a 95% confidence level that the
ground velocity and airblast will not exceed the values shown. The data and maps account for
local site conditions such as unique soil horizons and the possible effects of open areas within the
quarry boundaries. More complete regression relationships can be constructed for different parts
of the Quarry regionas more data become available.
To establish the 95% confidence limits, the DPV contour values can be multiplied by 3.1.
The resulting contour are then interpreted as representing a 1 in 20 chance that random factors will
cause the local ground velocity to exceed the contour value shown. We have applied this factor to
the maximum charge used in the study time period (J3016.. shot on 1/4/94),[he average predicted
values of which are shown in Figure 12. Multiplying the contours by 3.1-moves the PYs. contour
out to where the 0.35 contour is in this Figure. The Figure shows that there is a I in 20 chance
that several houses outside of the quarry boundary would experience DPV levels of I" or so for a
blast of 730 lb. located It east and 1800 north of the road junction. Thus there exists
20'chance'that I shot in the.217 events in this Atudv was aC(buranuarently not above)-the=leeah
B. Airblasts
�Theairblast monitoring data suggests that the Chapel Hill Quarry has also operated within- v
the limit of its permit for maximum blast dB levels.) It is noted, however, that an airblast level of ,
—1 8 B was recor on 9/27/8_9 from a charge delay of 36516. 4Aa monitoring distance o� (;(
u
fft (andsbence:near�the�quarryboundaryand within range of known occupied -structures). If thts
airblast was recorded at an occupied structure, it would have marginally exceeded. strict NC limits.
Based on the available data and inherent eaas in monitoring, it is however not very likely that this
case represented an actual violation of the quarry's permit, but it comes close to the limits set
therein.
16 ;t

To establish the 95% confidence limits, the dB contour values can be multiplied by I.I.
The resulting contours are then interpreted as representing it 1 in 20 chance that random factors will
cause the local airblast level to exceed the contour value shown. We have applied this factor to the
maximum charge (730) used in the study time period, the average predicted values of which are
----- - �,
shown in Figure 13, Multiplying the contours by 1.1 moves thEl28 dB contour out to where the
V,1.60 contour isin this Figure. The Figureshows thaCthere is a greater than I in 20 chance that
pproximately a dozen houses on the northeast side of the quarry would experience dB levels
128 or higher for a blast of 730 lb. located at 1400 ft east and 1800 north of_the.road junco .
Applying this same a roach to the charge maps shows -that 500 lb.. is the maximum charge size
PP g A g ,,
foi which the 1 chance in 20 confidence level is not exceeded -at -any structure.
C. Conclusions.
Based on DPV-dB monitoring studies of the Chapel Hill Quarry,61asimg- at this site is in
istrict compliance with its operating permit. Based on a statistical analysis of the monitoring data, it
appears that random factors beyond the control of the quarry •operators could cause_a_1_in_20
Ichof airblast dB level violation for charge sizes exceeding SQO lb. c.
D. Some Recommendations
The 95% confidence DPV-dB velocity and airblast levels suggest that -there"exists a
potential for exceeding permit limits with respect to airblast overpressures for charges larger than
500 lb.. To deal with this potential problem, it is recommended that the Quarry:
( - use different blastingprocedures;- sucfi'as;extra;lil.ast.mats; or
-----]ower the delay siz— e below S00 lb. at blast locations on the northeast side.

inafter referred to as the Department, and in conformity with the approved Recla-
mation Plan attached to and incorporated as part of this permit, provisions
must be made for the protection of the surrounding environment and for
reclamation of the land and water affected by the permitted mining operation.
This permit is expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements
of the approved Reclamtion Plan. However, completed performance of the
approved Reclamation Plan is a separable obligation, secured by the bond or
other security on file with the Department, and may survive the expiration,
revocation or suspension of this permit.
This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception:
If another operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted
mining operation, by virtue of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise,the
Department may release the permittee from the duties imposed upon him by the
conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference to the permitted
operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that
both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that
the successor operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with
reference to reclamation of the affected land and posts a suitable bond or
other security.

C. The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to insure that
flyrock is not thrown beyond areas where the access is temporarily
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 shall 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.
E. Sufficient buffer shall be maintained L:•tween any excavation and any adjoining
property line 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 quarry highwall.
10. Existing vegetation or vegetated earthen berms shall be maintained between the
mine and public throughfares whenever practical to screen the operation from
public view.
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.

I do not think such a permit condition is justified. With around 150
permitted quarries in NC having had probably well over 100,000 (maybe
200,000) shots in only the last 20 years, there is no documentation of
airblast or ground vibration damage to structures that I know of.
Requiring pre -blasting surveys as a permit condition would be
over -conservative overkill, not justified, and unfair to permittees.
Either nearby property owners or permittees are free to conduct such
surveys if they wish.
So, the bottom line is that I will not include pre -blast surveys
generally as a permit condition. (I could ,imagine a
site-specific/supersensitive structure -specific hypothetical
exception, but we'll deal with that if it ever comes up.) Please
convey this to Mr. Danzinger--feel free to send him a copy of this if
you wish.
Thanks.

' Subject: Pre -blast Surveys as Conditions of Quarry Permits
Author: Tracy Davis at NROLR0IP
Date: 1/8/97 4:31 PM
Yesterday, I spoke with Mr. Earl Danzinger who is involved in an
ongoing zoning dispute between American Stone (MMA) and OWSA, Chapel
Hill and Carrboro (Remember the Rem Malloy blasting complaint in which
X evaluated 80+ records and a graduate student was his blasting
"consultant"?). It seems that MMA wants to double the size of its
Chapel Hill Quarry which is alledgedly located in a "protected"
watershed. All three local authorities are evaluating this proposed
change to the watershed rules (Carrboro seems to be the most
concerned).
Mr. Danzinger is a consultant working to gather environmental and
public safety info on the mining operation. I have given him some
information in the past. However, while reviewing an OSM policy guide
regarding regulation of coal mines (provided to him by Paxton Badham
to show that NC's 1.0 ips limit is half the federal limit), Mr.
Danzinger noted that OSM requires the following in Sec. 515(b)(15)(e)
regarding blasting:
"The owner/resident must be notified at least 30 days prior to the
start of the blasting of how they may request a pre blast survey..." =
from the International Society of Explosive Engineers, [phone].
It goes on to state that if a pre -blast survey is requested, the
operator must pay for one to be conducted. Mr. Danzinger asked if we
are subject to this federal policy and if we require such surveys in
our mining permits. I said no, that OSM regulates coal mining and NC
does not have any coal mining; thus, our state law is the only
governing mining statute for non -coal mining in NC.
I told him that pre -blast surveys are voluntary and are at the
discretion of each operator, as there are pros and cons to such
surveys and they can be expensive. I noted that as long as the
blasting does not exceed our vibration and airblast limits at the
closest occupied structure, we feel the public is protected against
damage.
He seemed to understand but wanted me to ask you if we could begin
placing the above as a permit condition ... so that people who had
concerns about blasting damage could have the surveys done, and those
who didn't care, wouldn't. He felt this would provide some "real"
data that could be monitored/evaluated and used, by either side, to
support its case, should their be a future dispute.
What are your thoughts on including this as a permit condition, so I
can inform him should he call me in the future?
Thanks!

Subject: Pre -blast Surveys at Quarry Sites
------------------------------------ Message Contents ------------------------------------
Mx _Danzinger:
I came across some other information that may be of interest to you
regarding the subject matter.
Ms. Judy Wehner, one of my assistants, used to work with the State of
Kentucky's mining program, where she primarily regulated the coal
mining industry. Thus, she has an extensive amount of experience in
dealing with the Office of Surface Mining and its regulations,
especially Public Law 95-87.
Ms. Wehner has indicated to me that this law was based on coal mining
and that coal mining is very different from crushed stone quarries.
She said that a preblast survey is feasible in coal mining because, in
most cases, operations are in and out of an area in a few years.
Contour coal mines have a sixty day limit and area coal mines have a
180 day limit. Quarries, on the other hand, last decades.
In Ms. Wehner's opinion, it would not be practical to hold a quarry
responsible for all damages that may occur to a structure for that
period of time when other factors such as settling, indoor vs. outdoor
temperature variations, quality of construction and materials, etc.
could have caused or contributed to the damages.
I thought this insight would provide additional information to you
regarding this matter. If you would like to talk with Ms. Wehner
directly about this, you can reach her at [phone].
Sincerely,
Tracy E. Davis, P.E.
State Mining Specialist.

Charles,
Public Law 95-87 is based on coal mining. Coal mining is not the same
as quarrying. A preblast survey is feasible in coal mining because in
most cases operations are in and out of an area in a few years.
Contour mines have a sixty day limit and area mines have 180 day limit.
Quarries last decades, even centuries. It would not be practical to
hold a quarry responsible for all damages that may occur to a structure
for that period of time when other factors such as settling, tindoor
vs. outdoor temperatures, etc.

permitted. I've attached our check #99-018504 in the amount $250.00 to cover this
modification.
2. The pit expansion area for the ten year permit period is indicated by heavy tape.
There are no immediate plans to relocate Phil's Creek. If this changes we will
submit plans to your department for approval.
With regard to the downstream watershed we contacted Mr. Arthur Mouberry. His position
is that we already have a valid permit.
I hope the attached information and revised maps are sufficient for your approval.
Sincerely,

Mining Permit Renewal Request
Chapel Hill Quarry -`
Mining Permit No. 68-02
Orange County
Dear Ms. Cameron:
The review has been completed on your renewal request for the
above referenced mining permit. The following additional
information is required before the review can be completed:
1. The renewal request includes 118 acres to be permitted.
The original permit was issued for approximately 100
acres. The map submitted with the renewal request
appears to include approximately 150 acres within the
permit boundary. Please clarify the acreage you wish to
have permitted at this site and send the appropriate fees
to cover any modifications.
2. The direction and extent of the pit expansion for the
life of the permit is also needed. it appears that a 401
Certification has been issued for the relocation of
Phil's Creek. However, please be advised that a major
modification must be submitted to and approved by this
office before such activities can be initiated.
Please note, that due to the location of a critical area
watershed downstream from this site, the Division of Environmental
Management has voiced some concerns that an individual permit,
rather than a general certification, be issued for this site.
Please contact Mr. Arthur Mouberry at ( 919 ) 571--4700 regarding this
matter.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT OUR REVIEW CANNOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL ALL OF
THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE HAVE BEEN FULLY ADDRESSED.

SECT10N
We have completed our review of the subject revised application
and Tim's comments are attached. While I agree that there are no
problems with the current site or the erosion and sedimentation
control plan for the proposed immediate activity limits, I would
point out that the acreage to be covered by the permit is not
consistent with the submitted map or current file.
The current computer record indicates that the existing permit
covers 77 acres. That was consistent with the original
application for the site, but was changed to about 118 acres when
the permit was last renewed in 1982. Comparing the 1980/82 maps
with the current submittal reveals a couple of problems. First,
in 1982 the 118 acres consisted of a 100 acre tract along SR 1104
and an approximately 18 acre tract north of Phil's Creek. The
current submittal adds an approximately 32 acre tract to the west
off NC 54 that was previously owned by Philip Durham. This means
that instead of 118 acres, the current application appears to cover
approximately 150 acres. Lastly, the maps provided with the last
renewal indicate future pit expansion to the northwest across
Phil's Creek. The maps submitted with the current application
seem to restrict pit development to the area between SR 1104 and
Phil's Creek, yet a buffer zone is designated around the entire
property boundary indicating the potential for a much more
significant affected area. In a conversation with Horace Willson,
it was noted that they plan only to expand the pit to the east,
eventually taking in SR 1104 and connecting the pit to the old
quarry to the southeast on OWASA property.
The direction and extent of pit expansion intended for the life of
this permit should be clarified in the application and on the
maps. Further, the property to be covered by this permit should
be clearly indicated on the map and should be consitent with the
application. Depending on what they plan to do with the added
acreage and when, the proposal may need to be considered as a
major modification.
If there are any questions, please advise.

and have found no Air Quality Concerns at this time. The facility
currently holds Air Quality permit No. 4576R11, the last revision
being issued April 1, 1991. The permit expires June 30, 1994.
The most recent Air Quality compliance inspection was
performed May 22, 1992. According to Mr. John Hunt, the facility
was operating in compliance with visible emissions, odor, and
permit requirements at that time.
If we can be of further assistance, please advise.

SUBJECT: Mine Permit Renewal Request for American Stone Co.,
Orange County, Chapel Hill Quarry, Permit ,¢ 68-02
A biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) staff has reviewed the subject mining permit renewal request and
is familiar with habitat values of the project area. An onsite
investigation was conducted on October 13, 1992 for the purpose of
assessing pit mining activities on local wildlife and fisheries
resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of
the N.C. Mining Act of 1971 (G.S. 74-46 through G.S. 74-68, 15 NCAC 5;
as amended, 1982).
The area is primarily open land with a small amount of woodland
located around the edge of the property. Songbirds, raptors, deer and
some small game species currently use a portion of the property.
Several areas on the site have been stabilized with lespedeza and grass.
Some evidence of erosion was observed, however sediment basins on the
property appear to prevent serious erosion.
We do not expect any significant impacts to fisheries or wildlife
resources from activities associated with mining at this site. The
reclamation plan for the site is acceptable.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this permit
request. If you should have questions about this project, or need
further assistance, please contact District Wildlife Biologist Larry
Warlick at [phone].

b. How will fugitive dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
Fugitive dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc. will be controlled through use of a wet sup-
pression system within the operating plant, a large water pumper truck will be used to
control dust on haul roads and in the stockpile area. Much of the production will be washed
stone which generates no dust.
3. Describe in detail the chronologgical sequence of land disturbing activities and reference the
sequence to the mine map(s). each additional sheets as needed.
A chronological sequence of land disturbing activities is provided on the mine map. Any
changes in this sequence will be submitted to the Division of Land Resources for approval.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
4. a. How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any adjoining
property or highway right-of-way? Show all buffers on mine map(s).
Buffers between the mininS operation and adjacent properties will be sufficient to provide
adequate screening consisting of trees, existing topoggraphy and earthen berms. Buffers are
shown on the attached mine map dated July 30, 1992.
b. Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any
neighboring dwelling house, public road, public, commercial or industrial building from any
mine excavation. Locate all such structures on the mine map if they are within 300 feet of
any proposed excavation.
The mine excavation will not extend close enough to the property boundaries to cause any
physical damage. All quarry shots are designed to prevent excessive vibrations. Seis-
mograph recordings are made when deemed necessary. The quarry shots are scheduled
normally about mid -day andd will be observed by our neighbors as distant thunder lasting
less than a second. This minor event normally occurs one to three times a week, depending
upon production requirements. The structures are on the mine map.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
5. Describe specific erosion control measures to be taken during mining to revent offsite
sedimentation (include specific plans for erosion control for mine excavation), waste piles,
access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of installation. Locate and
label all erosion and sediment control measures on the mine map. Engineering designs and
calculations shall be required when needed to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
Location of erosion control structures are included on the mine map.
6. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining properties
during mining.
The mine excavation will not extend close enough to the property boundaries to cause any
landslides or slope instability.
b. In excavations of unconsolidated (non -rock) materials, specify the angle of all slopes
including specifications for benching and sloping.
Final excavation slopes of unconsolidated materials will be 2:1. Where the height of a cut
face warrants, a bench will be cut to slope toward the face of cut and draining to the pit
excavation.
c. In hardrock excavations, specify proposed bench widths and heights in feet.
Bench widths vary from 20' - 100'. The average height is 40'.

7. Are acid producing minerals or soils present? Yes No X . If yes, list all such minerals,
their relative abundance and indicate their location(s) on the mine map. How will acid water
pollution from the excavation, stockpiles and waste areas be controlled?
8. Describe specific plans (including a schedule of implementation) for screening the operation
from public view such as maintaining or planting trees, bushes or other vegetation, building
berms or other measures. Show the location of all visual screening on the mine map and
provide cross -sections through all proposed berms.
Existing trees, terrain, and berms will effectively screen our operations from nearby roads or
homes. Trees and vegetation will be planted on the berms and in such areas as will promote
future long-term screening and soil stability.
9. Will explosives be used? Yes X No . If yes, specify the types of explosive(s) and
describe what precaution(s) will be used to prevent physical hazard to persons or neighboring
property from flying rocks or excessive air blasts or ground vibrations. Locate the nearest offsite
structure(s) to the proposed excavation(s) on the mine map.
Explosives will be utilized to extract the rock from the earth. The principal explosive material
is ammonium nitrate, commonly used as fertilizer.
A shot pattern is used that minimizes the air and ground vibrations and provides the best rock
breakage. Energy expended.in excess air blast or ground vibration is wasted energy and it is our
intent to develop the most efficient blasting procedures possible.
Shots will normally occur from one to three times a week and will be observed as distant
thunder lasting less than a second.
Permanent records are maintained on each shot which indicate the shot pattern, loading, delays,
time, weather and all other pertinent data.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
10. a. What is the pre -mining depth (in feet) to the seasonal high and low ground water tables?
High 55 ft. Low 32 ft. What is the source of this information?
According to monitoring wells.
b. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table?
Yes X No It yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes X
No . If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells?
Locate all existing wells on the mine map that lie within 500 feet of the proposed permit
area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statements made.
The close proximity of the rock to the surface of the ground and the low level of
permeability of the rock in the quarry area indicate that quarry development will have no
detrimental impact on any well in the area. Experience over the years has shown that wells
bordering many granite pit excavations have not been impacted.
11. Will fuel tanks, solvents, or other chemical reagents be stored on -site? Yes X No
If yes, describe these materials and how they will be stored and show the locations) of all
storage facilities on the mine map.
Fuel oil, waste oil and gasoline are stored inside an approved containment structure that meets
all required fire protection codes. Solvents are handled by an approved dealer such as Safety
Kleen Corp.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
D. 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. This information must be
illustrated on a reclamation map.
Disturbed areas, berms, etc., will be revegetated in accordance with the seeding schedule as
provided. The excavation itself will be allowed to fill with groundwater and could be utilized
far water storage, recreation, wildlife sanctuary or other uses.

3. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to ad''oining property in all completed excavations
in rock including what kind of permanent barricade will be left. The location of the barricade
must be shown on the reclamation map.
A perimeter fence will be placed around all excavations upon completion of the mining
operation.
4. a. Indicate the method(s) of reclamation of overburden, refuse, spoil banks or other such
on -site mine waste areas, including specifications for benching and sloping.
Overburden will be utilized to construct screening berms. The berms will be vegetated and
placed as reclaimed areas as soon as reclamation is completed.
Overburden piles, refuse, spoil banks, or other mine waste areas existing at final reclamation
will be graded and compacted to slopes of 2:1 or flatter and will be vegetated in accord with
the attached seeding schedule.' The areas will be ggraded to prevent pooling and stagnation
of water and to control storm water runoff. OId or existing overburden piles that are
adequately stabilized or vegetated will remain in their current configuration.
b. Are any processing waste, overburden or other such mine wastes to be disposed of off -site?
Yes X No . If yes, describe in detail what these wastes are and how they will be
disposed. Attach a separate site map(s) showing the location(s) of the disposal area(s).
Include all specifications for erosion and sediment control.
Overburden material not needed for berm construction will be available as fill material for
nearby construction activities. A considerable amount of overburden material has been used
in this manner at many of our locations.

roadways not needed for future development of the site will also be graded, scarified and
revegetated.
Erosion control structures necessary to final reclamation will be cleaned out and placed in
good working order.
b. Will any on -site roadways be left as part of the reclamation? Yes X No If yes,
identify these on the reclamation map and provide details on permanent ditch line
stabilization.
The main haul road and service roads will remain for vehicular access to the lake formed
by the pit. These roads shall be stabilized while the quarry is active. The roads and their
need for maintenance will be determined by the future use of the site after the operation
has ceased.
6. State the method of reclamation of settling ponds and/or sediment control basins.
The sediment control basin and the settling ponds will be drained, filled, graded and revegetated
in accordance with the final reclamation plan as approved by the Division of Land Resources.
