TirAe In Time Out Honorable Mayor Charles Meeker Members, Raleigh City Council 222 W. Hargett St. Raleigh, NC 276o1 18 January 2011 Dear Sirs; Along with most of our neighbors, we are greatly concerned about the proposed expansion of the Hanson Quarry on Crabtree Creek near our home in Oak Park. We have lived at this address since 1992, and have been grateful to the City of Raleigh (COR) for its role in blocking damaging quarry expansions. PIease add these comments to the public record for the current rezoning proposal related to this nonconforming, heavy industrial use. A number of key issues remain inadequately addressed related to the current proposal. No action'' should be taken until adequate information is provided and analyzed, and circulated to citizens who are likely to be negatively affected, and factored into Cows decision. Please ensure that no premature rezoning action is taken related to this tract. 1) The Potential Benefits of Flood Control Should Not be Overstated The potential for benefits for COR and its citizens associated with prospective flood control operations at the pit are being dramatically overstated. We suspect that.neithcr the considerable costs nor the permitting actions required for a major stormwater intervention by county, state and federal agencies in this part of Crabtree Creek will ever develop. It is likely that a long and expensive re -analysis would be required under state and federal environmental policy law (given the age of the current evaluations and the vast development and other changes that have occurred in the watershed) before permitting could occur. Certainly, the project could not be built with the operating quarry and its core elements in their current configurations, and the time course and operations of such a system are highly speculative, Tt remain-, an nnen giiestinn as to hnw n manapp.ment system might nperate� what the benefits might be at various flood levels, and whether those benefits would be worth the huge costs. We are not Bairn in fart that anv filrthPr gtriictr3ral intPr•vPntinn is wi.cP'in this watPr.chPd aivan the damage to streamflow and aquatic amenities that could result from the installation of needed weirs, logstops, dams and other such flood control structures. No new flood control structures have been built in'this region (and few any'Aere) since the late ig8os..Such wiStructures are enrpmn.rPrl froti:e VaRaciand n+lisr mink str"'Arnqnn+hpinXilltg migen -, g} Certainly, no advantage should be attributed along these lines unless and until compelling evidence exists that such benefits are likely ever to be realized. Note that the company also Mayor Charles Meeker 18 January 2ozi Page 2 would get benefits from "handing off' the current quarry pit for this purpose, rather than incurring the costs associated with reclamation and decommissioning. 2) The Potential Benefits to the Greenway and Natural Areas Should Not be Overstated All key conservation lands owned by Hanson at'the Duraleigh site should be addressed clearly and appropriately (and be -- in fact --- conserved), including protection through conservation easements or fee -simple dedications to the COR, or to some other public or private conservation body, or by some other legally accountable land -use restriction. Those lands should include: i) all lands south of Crabtree Creek, excluding — temporarily —only the minimum area required for current -level stormwater ,management operations; 2) a permanent passage easement for the greenway on suitable terrain, and 3) all higher quality natural areas owned by the company near Crabtree Creek (including those located on both sides of Crabtree Creek east of the Duraleigh Road bridge, as well as that already identified on the south side of the creek near the western edge of the property). Many of these areas contain high -value natural hardwood forest and mountain laurel thickets, with other unusual plants, similar to the area being proposed as a natural area to the west: The perceived benefit — cited by some — of facilitated greenway passage is especially ironic, since the full pathway required by such an extension is NOT included in the pending proposal. The connecting section east of Duraleigh Road, owned by the company, is currently excluded. Moreover, it is not clear that the proposed route is even buildable — much less the preferred route — given the steep topography in the natural areas'through which it would have to pass, and the current operations of a state -permitted stormwater management works in close proximity to the route. Nor is it not clear that the state would allow such a passage while that stormwater operation is in place, or that such passage would be safe and reasonable, given overhead operations crossing the creek. In addition, alternative routines already exist, are preferred, and have already been invested in by COR for the key link to Umstead Park. A north -side route might well be considered, as well, if the current grinding operations were moved to the north, especially since the State of North Carolina owns a significant portion of such a potential greenway passage through�the site. We believe that the current lease for those state lands could be amended to allow greenway passage as a public use of public lands (depending, of course, on flood management decisions). As confirmed greenway "junkies" we are all for completion of the greenway connection to Umstead Park — but on a reasonable and prudent route, and not as a tradeoff for other environmental and social ills. It would be sad indeed fora new greenway route to actually induce environmental damage! Mayor Charles Meeker 18 January 2011 Page 3 3) Ongoing Impacts and the Implications of a No Action Alternative Quarry representatives have asserted repeatedly at meetings in September and December that the status quo/no-action alternative (i.e. operations in the current footprint of the operation, with the current mine permit and without rezoning) would allow continued mining at this site for at least 25 to 3o years. The evidence upon which this assertion was based (Le. geological resource information, the resource extraction plan, and its economic context) needs to be provided and analyzed so that neighbors and others potentially affected can understand its implications. It is impossible to compare the proposed rezoning action to the no -action alternative without adequate information. Make no mistake: Impacts of current operations on neighbors are considerable, including blasting noise, groundshock-based damage to foundations, noise from grinding and processing operations, heavy -truck traffic, and problems with spilled gravel on public roadways and associated damage to windshields, among others. Mitigation of these problems should be a core issue in considering any request for expanded or extended operations at this site, including the establishment of a citizen damage mitigation program, with independent, third -party arbitration, to address both existing and expected new foundation damage and other property degradation. Many neighbors are assuming that a "no expansion" vote would cause operations to cease by some date certain, but we have seen nothing to suggest that is true, and no such date has been offered as far as we know. 4) omitted Elements The current proposal is silent on several key issues, some addressed at Ieast in part in earlier versions of the quarry mitigation package, which should be expressly included in any proposal now before it is approved. Particularly notable to Oak Park residents is the omission of any commitment rel4ted to the . quarry -owned lands that immediately back up to Oak Park Subdivision, which were proposed to be donated to the COR for greenspace and greenway passage. As immediate neighbors to this land, we and our neighbors strongly support action to`conserve these lands (and similar lands on the south side of the creek) as part of any potentially approvable rezoning package. Second, the current grinding operations are exceedingly troubling to neighbors. While there was discussion at the December meeting about beginning a planning exercise to consider moving the processing operation, no commitment has been made to mitigate current and future Mayor Charles Meeker 18 January 2011 Page 4 grinding noise impacts. No action should be taken by the COR that will perpetuate rock processing operations unless and until current problems with the facility are solved. Similarly, new analyses are just now underway to evaluate the vulnerability of residential structures to ground shock waves. Analyses should be conducted to verify that structures under maximum risk are adequately protected before any rezoning action is allowed. Any rezoning action should be predicated upon a plan to minimize impacts of blasting and rock processing operations on neighbors, perhaps to include relocation of grinding operations to an interior site shielded by proposed soil berms, and to establish a program to mitigate ground shock damage to neighbors, including Oak Park residents. If Hanson expects to be our neighbor for another fifty years, they should do what they have done elsewhere, and establish a program to fairly identify and address foundation damage that has resulted from quarry operations. Fourth, a management plan adequate to reduce aggravating and nuisance gravel spills on Duraleigh Road must be developed and fully implemented. We are simply fed up with cracked windshields. 5) Legal Instruments to Establish Purported Benefits Company officials -- and others — have claimed environmental and community benefits associated with the proposed mine expansion, including: a promise not to mine on the south side of Crabtree Creek, a t)romise to avoid a natural area on the western side of the tract, facilitated passage of the greenway through quarry property, and the prospect of stormwater controls in the Crabtree Creek Basin, among others. These purported benefits should play no role in consideration of this proposal unless and until binding legal instruments are identified and stipulated that would guarantee that those benefits would be achieved. Each and every one of these promises should be undergirded by a legally binding instrument, or discounted in the political debate. Any rezoning decision should include enforceable conditions that obligate the company to execute those legally binding instruments before any work is initiated. 6) Interactions with State Mining Act Permittin Finally, the COR should immediately request, by formal action, that the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources hold in abeyance any and all actions related to any new or amended permit for this facility under the NC Mining Act until these issues are addressed. Recall that DENR went ahead — unilaterally — last time around, issuing the permit for the south side quarry before environmental and socioeconomic impacts were adequately addressed. The COR should also request that the NC Department of Administration work with DENR to make a Mayor Charles Meeker 18 January 2011 Page 5 finding that the proposed permit action constitutes a major action for purposes of environmental impact review under the State Environmental Policy Act, so that no -action and other alternatives can be fully evaluated, from environmental, social and economic perspectives. Please recognize that serious impacts on many Raleigh citizens are associated with any decision you make, and that careful information gathering and analysis could help drive an improvement in the status quo. Many assertions made by the company remain unsubstantiated or unsupported by formal commitments. The COR should stand its ground and withhold any rezoning until adequate information is provided by Hanson, and all implications of proposed activities can be evaluated and' optimized, so that appropriately protective conditions can be designed, Thanks in advance for your help with this important matter!

The recommendations she made regarding on -site erosion appear consistent with routine operation of a site like the subject quarry. I consulted with Danny Smith regarding the reported violations and their response to this inquiry, and he confirmed that the only problems cited in recent years are the basin failure from a few years ago, and a discharge from the same basin this past fall that was triggered by a pump system malfunction (it is my understanding that this incident was reported promptly, corrected, and the basin did not fail; no further DWQ action was necessary). Danny also was not aware of the current inquiry. I also spoke with Mr, Donald Washington for clarification regarding the details of his inquiry. He described himself as not an opponent of the quarry, and that his information regarding violations came from a friend of his that worked for the mine operator. Further, he confirmed that his concern relates to mine screenings stockpiled about 3 years ago near his property at the north end of the quarry site. He noted that he used to walk his dog back then on that portion of the site, and observed that after periods of heavy rainfall, the material was very soft and wet, and he would sink significantly into the material on the slopes. He is concerned that the company may not have tested the material for stability or properly engineered its placement such that the potential for slope failure and subsequent overflow of downstream proective measures, resulting in ultimate damage to Crabtree Creek is avoided. He did not note any current or recent problems or issues. It appears that the primary reason for his inquiry was to voice his opposition to the proposed quarry expansion. In light of this information, and since the quarry is due for a routine inspection anyway, Karyn and I are planning to schedule the inspection as soon as possible, and we will ensure that the area related to Mr. Washington's concern is inspected cioseiy.

Stormwater Inspection Summary 44*�_ r_e-" *i_ lolly Ul naleigh Stormwater Utility Division Hanson Quarry Duraleigh Road Raleigh, NC January 10, 2011 Figure 1: Overview of Hanson Quarry on Duraleigh Road On Monday, January 10, 2011, an inspection of tile Hanson Quarry located on Duraleigh Road was performed by Jeanette Powell, Stormwater Inspections Supervisor. The inspection was in response to a complaint that eroded material was entering Crabtree Creek. The facility straddles Crabtree Creek with the quarry pit, scale house, maintenance facility, production area and product holding areas being located on the north side of the creek. The site oil the south side of the creek contains treatment areas for the collected runoff from all active portions of the facility. The water is treated for reuse in processing activities or discharge. All areas of the facility are self -inspected by Hanson staff -at a minimum of once per week. The facility is regulated by state law and holds a state mining permit, an NPDES stormwater permit and an air quality permit. An aerial overview of the facility is provided in Figure 1. The product storage and scale house areas drain directly into the pit, as does the maintenance shop area. There is a constructed berm along the north side of Crabtree Creek in the production area that prevents runoff from entering the creek. The production area drains to Settling Basin 1 (SBI), which consists of a forebay and main basin area (see Figure 2). Dual redundant float activated pumps transfer collected water from SB 1 to the pit. Collected water is inspected in the pit and, if determined to be clean and not needed for process water, it is discharged to Crabtree Creek. A manually activated bypass valve must be opened for any discharge to occur. Figure 2: Settling Basin .l and Berm Along Crabtree Creek If additional treatment or process -water storage is needed, the water is pumped across Crabtree Creek via aerial pipes to a lift station and then to Settling Basin 2 (SB2). Sedimentary material from SB2 is routinely removed to provide adequate storage/settling capacity in S132. The removed material is placed adjacent to SB2 to dewater, with runoff wine back into 5132. Once the material is dewat:ered_ it is placed in a stockpile to await further handling (see Figure 3). The stockpile also drains back to SB2. From S132, water goes to Settling Basin 3 (SB3) for additional treatment and use as process water (see Figure 4). Figure 3: Settling Basin 2 and Stockpile Areas Figure 4: Settling Basin 3 The only material stored in the stockpiles on the south side of Crabtree Creek is the settled out material that accumulates in the lift station pit, SB1, SB2 and S133.

Director and State Geologist June 14, 2002 Mr. Steven S. Edgerton Hanson Aggregates East Post Office Box 13983 Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-3983 Re: Crabtree Quarry Mining Permit No. 92-03 Wake County Neuse River Basin Dear Mr. Edgerton: Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated June 13, 2002 regarding Hanson Aggregates East's Crabtree Quarry. In order to property address the questions listed in your June 13 letter, I have provided my individual responses directly after each corresponding question. Furthermore, this office acknowledges that "Hanson" is used interchangeably with Nello L. Teer Company and "the property south of Crabtree Creek" is meant to include only that property which has been within the mining permit boundary since the date this mining operation was permitted. Lastly, please note that these responses are based on defined terms as they are used in the North Carolina Mining Act and regulations administered by DENR. This letter is not to be construed to interpret other laws or ordinances. 1. When was the property on the south. side of Crabtree Creek first put under a mining permit? RESPONSE: The property on the south side of Crabtree Creek was addressed in the original application dated June 15, 1972 and approved as part of the mining permit area when Mining Permit No. 92-03 was issued on June 20, 1972. This area has remained under the mining permit since the permit was originally issued. 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 • 919-733-4574 I FAX: 919-733-2876 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27604 nrr...,..,.:..., n...:., c.....,i... cnoi o..,... t-A t .nor n.,,.. r,..._,......., n.._.,. Mr. Edgerton Page 2 2. Has the property on the south side of Crabtree Creek been inspected by DENR for compliance with Mining Act rules and regulations since shortly after the issuance of the first mine permit, and does DENR continue to inspect such grope y under the Mining Act? RESPONSE: Yes. Mine inspection reports have been completed for each inspection conducted by staff of the Raleigh Regional Office and are available for review as public records upon request. 3. Did the first mining permit issued to Hanson (then Nello L. Teer Company) reflect a process water pond on the south side of Crabtree Creek? RESPONSE: Y,:,s. The revegetation plan prepared by Mr. Roy Womble, Chairman of the Wake Soil and Water Conservation District dated June 13, 1972 as part of the original application for this mine site addressed these process water ponds as "settling ponds". As such, these ponds were approved and covered by the mining permit when it was issued in 1972. 4. Do the process water ponds south of Crabtree Creek receive process water from the portion of the mining operation north of Crabtree Creek? RESPONSE: Yes. This is supported by the approved mine maps and mine inspectionreports, which can be found in the mine file for this site. 5. Do the following activities on the property south of Crabtree Creek constitute "mining" as that term is used in the Mining Act and regulations administered by DENR: YES NO (l) Grading for and construction of process water ponds X (ii) Grading for and construction of soil and erosion control structures X (iii) Deposit of process water from mining north of Crabtree Creek onto property south of Crabtree Creek X (iv) Grading for and construction of berms X Mr. Edgerton Page 3 (v) Grading and construction of roads X (vi) Removal of dirt or overburden by grading or otherwise to expose mineral deposits X (vii) Stockpiling of materials X (viii) Traversing the property south of Crabtree Creek with equipment for purposes of removing sediment from the process water ponds, stockpiling materials or removing materials X (ix) Removal of sediment from a process water pond and (a) redepositing it on site, whether north or south of Crabtree Creek X (b) removing such material from site X (x) Grubbing of tree stumps. X RESPONSE: All of the land disturbing activities noted above in items 5(i) through (x) are within the mining permit boundary and under the jurisdiction of the NC Mining Act and associated regulations. Thus, all of these activities are "mining" as defined by one or more of the definitions found under G.S. 74-49(7) of the NC Mining Act of 1971. U. rriII 11 c� aLc7� a�.uvILI I question c 1J auvvc W1 - 1^1J. "I vuyII s records (including inspections) or knowledge, were performed on the south side? RESPONSE: The documents in the mine permit file are public records and can be viewed by the public during normal business hours. These documents speak for themselves. I do not have enough familiarity with this particular site, through review of the file or onsite inspections, to verify that these activities have occurred. I can only state that these land disturbing activities, if conducted within the mining permit boundary, are subject to the conditions of Mining Permit No. 92-03. Mr. Edgerton Page 4 7. Does the property south of Crabtree Creek constitute a part of the mine that DENR has permitted as the Crabtree Quarry, as the term mine is'used in the Mining Act and regulations administered by DENR? RESPONSE: The property south of Crabtree Creek is within the mining permit boundary covered by Mining Permit No. 92-03. The ongoing use of the settling ponds and the stabilization of the overburden pile on the south side of Crabtree Creek were approved when then mining permit was originally issued on June 20, 1972. These were the only mining activities that were approved on the south side of the creek until the min;nn permit modification was approved on July 13, 1992 to include additional mining activities south of the creek. NOTE: The responses below to questions 8, 9 and 10 of your June 13, 2002 I, -,Lei reln}o cnorifirally to my March 9n, 1992 letter to you (and other documents issued IGLIGI ne GILL spell �v..w..J J by DENR from time to time referring to "the expansion of mining operations to the south side of Crabtree Creek"): o timer„-nern+;^nc heinrr rnnr�l Irtorl nn the south side of Crabtree Creek that U. YYGIG V}J�.aauviw ti v constituted mining as that term is used in the Mining Act and the regulations administered by DENR in 1971 when the Mining Act became effective? RESPONSE: Yes. The installation and use of the settling ponds located on the south side of the creek for washing stone at the plant site on the north side of the creek is considered "mining" by this office as defined by G.S. 74-49(7)(c). The removal of overburden and subsequent disposal of such on the south side of the creek is also considered "mining" by this office as defined by G.S. 74-49(7)(a) and (b) 9. Are the activities that Hanson has engaged in on the south side of Crabtree Creek since the Mining Act became effective activities that constitute mining as that term is used in the Mining Act and the regulations administered by DENR? RESPONSE: Yes. Please see previous responses. 10. Could you please clarify what the Department meant when it referred to "expansion of mining operations to the south side of Crabtree Creek ..." Did the Department by that phrase intend to state that mining activity had not previously been conducted south of Crabtree Creek and was being expanded to it, or rather did it intend to say that the existing permit for mining south of the creek had been modified? Mr. Edgerton Page 5 RESPONSE: Although the property south of Crabtree Creek had been within the mining permit boundary since the mining permit was first issued for this site, the only mining activities that were approved on the south side of the creek were the installation and maintenance of the settling ponds, the construction and stabilization of the overburden pile, the associated access roads and the required erosion and sedimentation control measures. No other land disturbing activities were allowed to commence on the south side of the creek until the mining permit and its associated approved mining plan were modified by the Department. Thus, all areas within the mining permit boundary on the south side of the creek, with the exception of the approved mining activities noted above, were to be maintained as buffer land. When the mining permit modification request was made on January 16, 1992, the mining plans indicated that the remainder of the permitted area on the south side of the creek would be affected by mining activities. This office considered this move of the bulk of the mining related activities from the north side of the creek to the south side of the creek to be an expansion of the overall mining operation at this site.

By SARAH LINDENFELD HALL, Staff Writer Tuesday, May 28, 2002 1:35AM EDT RALEIGH - For at least two decades, a fight has simmered between the deep northwest Raleigh quarry that wants to expand across Crabtree Creek, the city that says it can't and the neighbors who say the rock -blasting makes their houses shake regularly. It could be about to boil over -- and end up in court. The latest skirmish began with truckloads of dirt. In mid -April, the city told Hanson Aggregates Southeast, which owns the more-than-50-year-old quarry on Duraleigh Road, to stop hauling dirt from the south side of Crabtree Creek. A contractor building the Edwards Mill Road extension was using the dirt. Larry Strickland, the city's zoning inspector supervisor, said the activity met the state's definition of mining, which violates city zoning rules. The hauling stopped, but Hanson appealed Strickland's order this month to the city's Board of Adjustment. At its June 10 meeting, the board will schedule a special hearing to consider the appeal. It will take a four -fifths majority to nvcrfi irn CfrinLel�nrl'c rinnicinn The lawsuit the city and quarry have been Flirting with for years could finally happen if the board makes a decision and it is appealed. And some residents, feeling jittery, are wondering what's next. "I think the business of taking dirt out is the start of something really awful," said Mimi Miller, president of the Oak Park Glen Forest Neighborhood Association. The disagreement began decades ago. Hanson maintains that it can expand its operation, which started before 1950 on the creek's north side, and mine on the south side of the creek because it was there before the city limits extended to the property in 1973. In April, the state renewed the quarry's 10-year permit, allowing the quarry to disturb 95 of its 261 acres, which are on both sides of the creek. The permit allows mining on the creek's south side, but local zoning regulations supersede what the state allows. The city says the operation can't jump the creek, because that land is zoned residential, where quarries aren't allowed. The quarry on the north side of the creek was grandfathered in when the city's jurisdiction was extended there. In 1994, the City Council voted 5-3 to reaffirm the city's position that the quarry can't cross the creek after neighbors asked the city to take the quarry to court. Wayne Phears, a lawyer from Norcross, Ga., representing Hanson, said the quarry has told the city it would I of 2 5/28/2002 i :3 1 PM ncwsckwvcr.coni printcr-friendly story welcome a suit to decide the issue. "We've been urging the city of Raleigh, if they think we're not a lawful use, to go to court and shut it down," he said. Phears said the quarry filed the appeal with the zoning board just to make sure the official record makes clear it disagrees with the city's interpretation in case the issue ever does go to court. City Attorney Thomas McCormick said that the city hasn't had any reason to sue the quarry because it hasn't started mining on the south side of the creek. He said the city is taking the appeal seriously. The quarry's future has been uncertain. More than a decade ago, quarry officials offered the quarry as a gift to Wake County for flood control if the quarry could mine the other side of the creek. Raleigh endorsed the flood -control plan, but said that did not mean the quarry had a right to mine on the south side. And in 1999, greenway advocates proposed building a park next to the quarry, with greenways that would connect to Durham and Cary. The plan angered residents because the greenways group recognized the quarry as having the right to mine a second quarry across the creek. Meanwhile, nearby residents say they feel jolts and shakes from blasts at the quarry at least twice a week, and, in the past, felt them daily, Population has increased in the area, which is down the road from Rex Hospital to the south and Umstead State Park to the north. "I don't think anything has changed in terms of the neighborhood position," said Jill Heaton, who lives in the Oak Park neighborhood. "We find quarrying on the south of Crabtree Creek unacceptable, which has always been our position." Miller, the neighborhood association president, still remembers the first blast after she moved into her home 17 years ago. "The first time it went off, I was home here," she said. "I thought we had an earthquake and ran out and no one paid any attention. My neighbor said, 'It was the quarry."' ® Copyright 2002, The News & Observer.

A copy of Mr. Strickland's referenced letter is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". In light of that discussion between Mr. Holly and Mr. Strickland, as well as Mr. Strickland's letter to us, we would appreciate the Department providing some factual information for us to submit to the City of Raleigh. As used herein, the property south of Crabtree Creek is meant to include only that property which was a part of Hanson's mining permit prior to August of 1973. Hanson is used interchangeably with Nello L. Teer Company herein. We understand that your answers to the inquiries below are based on defined terms as they are used in the North Carolina Mining Act and regulations administered thereunder by DENR and You do not purport to interpret other laws or ordinances. Accordingly, the requested information is as follows: l . When was the property on the south side of Crabtree Creek first put under a mining permit? 2. Has the property on the south side of Crabtree Creek been inspected by DENR for compliance with Mining Act rules and regulations since shortly after the issuance of the first mine permit, and does DENR continue to inspect such property under the Mining Act? 1 of 3 3. Did the first mining permit issued to Hanson (then Nello L. Teer Company) reflect a process water pond on the south side of Crabtree Creek? 4. Do the process water ponds south of Crabtree Creek receive process water from the portion of the mining operation north of Crabtree Creek? 5. Do the following activities on the property south of Crabtree Creek constitute "mining" as that term is used in the Mining Act and regulations administered by DENR: (1) Grading for and construction of process water ponds (ii) Grading for and construction of soil and erosion control structures (iii) Deposit of process water from mining north of Crabtree Creek onto property south of Crabtree Creek (iv) Grading for and construction of berms (v) Grading and construction of roads (vi) Removal of dirt or overburden by grading or otherwise to expose mineral deposits (vii) Stockpiling of materials (viii) Traversing the property south of Crabtree Creek with equipment for purposes of removing sediment from the process water ponds, stockpiling materials or removing materials (ix) Removal of sediment from a process water pond and (a) redepositing it on site, whether north or south of Crabtree Creek (b) removing such material from site (x) Grubbing of tree stumps.

Lastly, your letter of March 20, 1992 to the undersigned at Nello Teer Company (attached hereto as Exhibit "B"), and other documents issued by DENR from time to time refer to the "expansion of mining operations to the south side of Crabtree Creek ..." In that context, please provide the following information: 8.

As you know the City of Raleigh's zoning ordinanc-, prohibits any mining or quarrying in the Residential 4 zoning district: On Thursday April 18. 2002 1 contacted you concerning the activity that I had observed. You advised that soil was being removed by a contractor and used for the construction of Edwards Mill Road. In follow up to our conversation, I contacted Mr. Xoba Holly with the North Carolina Depaitrrient of Environmental and Natural Resoumes. Based on my conversation with Mr. Holly, I have concluded that the removal of dirt or borrow from the property on the south side of Crabtree Creek is mining and thus prohibited in the Residential 4 zoning district. Any activity other than the normal maintenance of the three basins located on vie south side is an expansion of"a nonconforming use and is prohibited.

All buffer zones to be maintained between any land disturbing activity and any adjoining property line or waterway on both the north and south sides .of Crabtree Creek must be clearly indicated on all mining maps. Please Sped fir if *1-i •q.,e b'.:f f er zones are to remain totally undisturbed or if they will be partially disturbed for the installation of necessary erosion and sedimentation control measures. 2.) Construction details are needed on the details sheet for the "oversize rock" and "concrete'" barriers to be utilized continuously as temporary highwall barriers during active quarrying activities. 3.) The rip -rap lined channel detail must be revised to clearly indicate that all such channels will be properly undercut to allow for proper placement of rip -rap and filter material to ensure their designed capacities are maintained. It would be beneficial to have a channel chart on the detail sheet to clearly outline the undercut dimensions and the final, design dimensions of these type channels. 4.) No detailed information has been provided regarding the design and construction of the bridge proposed across Crabtree Creek. If your company wishes to have this P.O.

Should your company wish to defer evaluation of this structure to a later date, please clarify that this is your company's intention, that a formal modification request will be submitted to this office, and that no land disturbing activities related to the bridge construction will be initiated until said activities have been approved by this office. 5.) An outlet dissipator has not been provided for the outlet end of the culvert under the temporary construction entrance. Please provide its location on the mine plans and submit the supporting calculations and details for said dissipator. 6.) Items C.6.b. and D.3. of the application form indicate that a 20 foot wide safety bench will be provided between the top of rock and toe of the overburden slope. However, Sheet EC-3 indicates that a 25 foot wide bench will be provided. Please clarify this discrepancy appropriately on the plans and in the application. 7.) What are the proposed final elevations of the visual barrier berm proposed along Duraleigh Road on the south side of the creek? Will it be of sufficient height to adequately screen the operation from Duraleigh Road and neighboring dwellings? Will trees be planted along the outside slopes and along the top of said berm? Please provide appropriate information to clearly.address this issue. 8.) More detailed information is needed regarding your company's blasting practices and procedures currently employed on the north side of Crabtree Creek and those that will be employed on the south side of the Creek. Will current blasting -procedures need to be revised for the south side pit area to ensure that blasting will be within safe limits"so as not to damage the nearby sewer outfall structure and neighboring offsite structures? Where and at what distance is the nearest offsite occupied structure to the north side pit arLd the proposed south side pit? As this office has received several blasting complaints over the past several years, a detailed, technical report prepared by a third -party blasting consultant is needed to properly address this issue. Mr. Edgerton March 20, 1992 Page 3 9.) As several housing developments are in the immediate vicinity of this mining operation, this office feels that several groundwater observation wells are needed at the site, most specifically around the proposed southern pit to detect any potential groundwater impacts that may occur due to pit dewatering activities. Please provide the locations of any existing and proposed monitoring wells on the mine plans and how your company intends to monitor them. 10.) The recommendations outlined in the attached February 26, 1992 memorandum from the N.C. Wildlife " Resources Commission must be incorporated into the mining plans for this project.

Hanson Aggregates does not specify how much water is withdrawn per day, yet their withdrawal is registered under NCGS 143-215.221-1, number 0340-0011 for 500,000 to 600,000 gallons per day; 2. Individual homeowner wells within 500 feet are not identified on their maps; and 3. According to their description under C.3.c. shallow wells in the area (they exist`?) would not be affected because the pit rests on a former topographic high and the shallow materials inhibit ground water migration. Topographic highs usually are the recharge areas for shallow and deep wells in the Piedmont, and silt and clays may inhibit ground water migration, but sands do not.

Yeiideer, Pt m�arit legion Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE. 16 April 2002 SUBJECT: Mining Permit Renewal Request for Hanson Aggregates Southeast, Crabtree Quarry - Permit No. 92-03, Wake County, North Carolina Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have: reviewed the subject permit renewal, and we are familiar with the habitat values of the area. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982)(C.S. 74-76 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5). Hanson Aggregates East is requesting a renewal of their permit for mining granite on a 261-acre site located near William B. LJmstead State Park. Crabtree Creek, Neuse River basin, runs through the site, and Richland Creek (st tributary of Crabtree Creek) borders the site. Several listed species have been found to exist in Crabtree Creek including the federal species of concern and state tiv-eatened Atlantic pigtoe (Furconaia masorat), the federal species of concern and significantly rare pinewoods shiner (Lythrurus matutinus), the state threatened squawfoot (Strophiius undulatus) and triangle floater (Alasmidonta undulata), and the significantly rare notched rainbow (Villosa constricra). In addition, there are spawning runs of blueback herring (Alosa acstivalis), hickory shad (Alosa medioerts); alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), American sliad (Aloso sal idissinua), and striped bass (Morose .saxatilis) in this creek. 'therefore, protecting water mtality ig rsgpntial, Arrordinw to the man nrovirle variable biifferc arr nrnv;rlorl ih,ii include portions that are loss than 50 feet. We recommend that the following conditions be incorporated into the permit to reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Adequate riparian habitat and watershed protection is essential to the continued survival of rare aquatic species. In order to reduce stream impacts, while retaining some rneasure of wildlife habitat, we recommend a too -foot undisturbed, native, forested buffer along perennial streams, and a 50-foot buffer along intermittent streanms and wetlands for the present operation and any fixture expansions. Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 'i'clephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 • Fax: (919) 715-7643 NClr1RC,HCP,FALLS LAKE TEL:919-528-9839 Apr 16'02 10:58 No.005 P.05 O Page 2 16 April 2002 Hanson Aggregates, Crabtree Quarry Permit No. 92-03 along these areas will reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources, water quality, aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area, and help prevent the extirpation of endangered and threatened species. In addition, these buffers will provide an adequate travel corridor for wildlife species. Whereas, a grassed buffer, patliculai-ly fescue, is a vegetated buffer but will not provide the necessary and highly valuable functions as discussed for forested buffers. These buffers are particularly important its preventing sediment from entering aquatic resources in the area. We recommend that the applicant keep the 100-foot buffers in mind when planning the site design for any future expansions. Water discharges from the project site should be proportional to the size of the receiving stranm so that the hydrology of the stmam is not altered. and all s}innld rmmnly with NPDES permit requirements. In particular, turbidity of the discharge should be maintained at or below the permit requirement. High water discharge rates and turbidity can negatively impact aquatic and fisheries resources within and downstream of the project area, Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, ana clogging of gills of aquatic species. Proposed seeding mixtures include sericea lespedeza, which is invasive, and fescue, which nrovide very little value to wildlife. We encourave the aoolicant to consider usinu seed mixtures that+are beneficial to wildlife in their reclamation plan, such as native, warm season grasses. An exact seeding mixture would need to take into account soil types, moisture, pl1, and degree of slope of areas to be stabilized. We also recommend that native hardwood species be added to the pine plantings. In addition, for relatively shallow sediment basin reclamation, we recommend these areas be reclaimed as wetlands where practicable. We refer the applicant to Mike Scruggs, District Wildlife Biologist at (252) 904--3537 for additional information and ideas on reclamation for wildlife.

If yes, briefly describe all Such processes including any chemicals to be used. The crushed Stone facility requires the use ofWater to produce clean stone. The water is ptullped from the secondary settling pond to the plant. Through the use of spray bars and screens the raw material is washed and sized. This Water IS aISO Used at al I transfel- p0111tS tllroughollt the plant to allay dust. Once used, the water Is collected In a series ol'ditches and pipes and directed back to the primary settling pond. Once the water has flowed through the primary and secondary settling ponds, most of the silt -sired particles have settled out, and the water is ready to be reused in the plant. Due to evaporation and loss thl-ough material sales, it is necessary to periodically supplelllcnt the closet! Circuit system with WatCl- from the pit. No chemicals will be used for the process. b. Will the operation involve discharging fresh or waste water from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters of the State'?

The water encountered ill the pit is Used for dust Sllppl-CSS1011 and lvashmg the Stolle ill prOCIIICC a high quality clean aggregate. Excess water is discharged off the property through NPDI7_,'S 1'ermit. Will any part ol'the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table? Yes X No . If 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? Estimated withdrmval rate in gallons per day: locale all exis1irw hells on the mine nrap(.5) that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statements made, including; any monitoring well data, well construction data and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate whether the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells. From analysis ol'the core retrieved front the exploratory drilling and the existing pit, the granite appears to have very little primary permeability. The oil[), means in which water may be transported will be through secondary permeability (I.e. joints, fractures, shears, etc.); however, from core analysis, RQD values are in the 85u/o to 95% range, below the weathered rock interface, and these joints and I-ractures do not appear to be interconnected. The surfaces 01' the fractures and joints show very little evidence of mineralized coatings as a result of water transportation. Removal ol'the overburden has very little effect on shallow wells in the area since the pit for the most part sits oil a topographic high and very little of' the recharge area for shallow wells will be disturbed. The overburden materials in the pit area are silts, clays, and sand, Which WOLIId Inhibit grOUndwatel• migration. d.

Will the operation involve crushing Or ally other air contaminant emissions? Yes X No if yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained all air quality permit issued by the Division of Air Quality or local governing body. Crabtree Quarry presently operates under Air Quality Permit Number 04149102 b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads; etc., be controlled? A wet suppression sysie:m for the plant, as filed with the Division of environmental Management Air Quality Section, is the primary control for fugitive dust in the plant area. Spray bars and nozzles at transfer points in the processing plant allay any particle emissions in the plant and stockpile areas. Also, most aggregate prOdL1Cts are washed stone gradations with little Or no fines. Flaul roads and site access roads are also monitored for fugitive dust. As the need arises, a water wagon sprays water along these routes to further inhibit any dust from becoming Cull V111111.. A buffer will be required between any alining activity and ally milling permit bOLlndary Or right -Of - way.

Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required, Unless technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes. In order to prevent landslides anti/or slope failure adjacent to adjOining properties, cut slopes have been graded an slopes no steeper than 1 ``/z: 1 and ti 11 slopes no steeper than 2:1. In addition, all slopes have been seeded as soon as possible after grading has been completed and treated in accordance with the revegetation plan contained herein.

Describe other methods to be taken during ]Vining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling house, public road, public, commercial Or industrial building from any mine excavation. Louac all such struclures on the mine meal) if they care within 300 feel of any proposed excavalion, TO prevent any physical hazard to neighboring houses or buildings, it has been Hanson's policy to restrict all of its pit operations outside of a 300' zone. Hanson has always Used the most modern methods in existence to enAlre the safety ofits employee's and neighbors. Hanson makes it a practice to use non -electric blasting techniques to reduce the possibility of inadvertent blast initiation during thunderstorms. Bach shot is scismographed at the closest structure to the site ofthe blast to ensure compliance with approved blast limits.

J i Page 1 of 2 Masthead Published Thu, Jan 06, 2011 02:00 AM Modified Thu, Jan 06, 2011 12:17 AM No neighborhood damage from quarry In response to John Jones' Dec. 24 Point of' View article ("Rocked by a quarry plan"), I would like to provide a different perspective from the company that owns the Crabtree quarry. For more than 60 years, crushed stone from our quarry along Crabtree Creek has been used to build roads, schools, hospitals, churches and other public and private structures in Raleigh. Based on what our geologists tell us, the quarry has enough granite on its current property on the north side of the creek to continue providing materials for similar projects for at least another 20-25 years, and we continue to explore options to sustain our operations in the longer term. Recently an opportunity became available to purchase land west of our existing pit which, if rezoned and permitted for mining, would allow us to relinquish our rights on the south side of the creek, move the processing plant farther from the creek in the future and donate substantial properties that would benefit our entire community. These properties would provide a major greenway connection, a parking lot to provide access to the greenway, and a nature preserve park. In addition, if the rezoning is approved and we quarry to the west at a higher elevation, the existing pit could be used for flood control of Crabtree Creek during major storm events. We have listened to the community's concerns and we welcome opportunities to answer any questions about our operations, especially in regards to our blasting activities. Our operations are stringently regulated and the fears expressed by Jones and others are not based in fact. We typically blast only once every two weeks or so. livery blast is precisely managed and monitored to ensure it is well below the permitted levels so that damage to surrounding property does not occur. While vibrations from a blast can be felt by some of our neighbors, no one has presented evidence that the quarry operations have damaged their property. The fact that so many homes have been built a AA JV1U alVllllU L11G LlUall y VVL.l L11G JJCLJL )V yGC113 UGIll V11JL1aLL.J LIML L11G Lt Ually 11a3 11VL llau a detrimental impact on the area. The proposed pit, if allowed on the property to the west, would never be closer than 500 feet from the nearest home and would be buffered by both berms and existing trees. We believe in maintaining an open and transparent relationship with the community and we have established a website, wN-vw.crabtrecquaril.com, to provide information about our rezoning proposal. We have also agreed to establish a neighborhood advisory council, implement an arbitration process to address any claims, and compensate any landowners who can show that their property has been damaged by the quarry operations. In short, we are committed to being a good corporate citizen and a good neighbor.

Environmental documents are not required as part of a mine permit application. As you know, environmental documents are only required when public monies are used for a project. The only thing I see in the file is a 1988 document tailed "Crabtree Creek Watershed — Quarry Pit Alternative to Structure 25." I have a feeling that Ms. Sanders may be interested in the most recent proposals that Hanson is setting forth for expansion of the quarry. At this time, they are still dealing with the zoning issues locally. The Land Quality Section has not received a formal request for modification of the mining permit. I would be glad to make our file available to Ms. Sanders for review if she would like to schedule an appointment. Or, she could contact John Holley (919-791-4200) to schedule a time to view the file at the Raleigh Regional Office off Barrett Drive. Again, there will not be information specific to Hanson's most recent activities to rezone adjacent land. Although we are aware of it, they haven't come to us yet with a request for modification so there are no details about that in our file. I believe they want to get any zoning and local issues worked out before bringing a request to us.

About 200 people packed the CAC's meeting at the Korean Baptist Church on Ray Road on Tuesday to weigh in on a plan that would allow a mining company to expand Crabtree Quarry near Umstead State Park. The plan has irked many residents who live near the quarry. The CRCs are neighborhood groups that make policy recommendations to the City Council, mostly on zoning issues. Northwest/Uinstead CAC usually meets at the police station on Glenwood Avenue. Lven in the church, some had to stand in the back. The meeting started at 7 p.m. and shut down two hours later, but only because the church was rented until 9 p.m. "It could have been endless at the rate it was going," said Jay Gudeman, the CAC chair. The group meets again at the Korean Baptist Church on .Ian. 1 1 to vote on the issue. Tom Mather Public Information Officer t N.C.

Neighbors fight proposed expansion by Raleigh quarry - WRAL.com littp://www,wral.con-1/news/local/story/8777060/?print_friendly Neighbors fight proposed expansion by Raleigh marry Posted: 5:32 p.m. yesterday Updated: 6:39 p.m. yesterday People who live near a rock quarry off Duraleigh Road in northwest Raleigh say they are concerned about plans to expand the site. Residents of the Delta Ridge subdivision have posted signs in their yards and launched a website io express their opposition to Hanson Aggregates' plan. The company is seeking city approval to rezone 100 acres from residential to industrial use. "You've got vibrations that we feel regularly. In fact, in our home, things have fallen down from the blasting," said Ricky Stevens, president of the Delta Ridge I-lotneowners Association. "So, all of a sudden, to have an expansion that is going to come up within 150 feet of the back row of our townhomes is very disturbing for our residents," Stevens said. "When they come cioser, the blasting is going to come closer, and that's going to affect us even more." Sig Hutchinson, a community advocate who backs Hanson's plans, said the expansion would benefit the area. The company plans to extend the Crabtree Greenway through the site to Unistead State Park, add 50 parking spaces for park visitors, create a nine -acre nature preserve and allow the city to use the quarry for flood control, lie said. "This is really a win -win situation for the community — a rare opportunity to put some things to rest, to solve soiree of the city's problems, to benefit the citizens," Hutchinson said. .et i # Sf i •f4 .. The expansion proposal was expected to be discussed at a Northwest/Urnstead Citizen Advisory Council meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at First Korean Baptist Church, on Ray Road.

They are looking to rezone about 170 acres for industrial use. Residents in that area have put up signs in front of their homes and along the roads, and they've also created a Web site. "There's a lot of people that haven't been aware of what Hanson's trying to do," said resident Kelly Cherry, who lives in the Delta Ridge neighborhood. Cherry said they have concerns about noise and damage from rock blasting, lowered property values, commercial traffic and damage to the environment. In a statement on Tuesday, Chris Ward, General Manager of Hanson Aggregates Southeast, said "We also believe this approach provides the community with near term benefits including the donation of property for a greenway connection with Umstead Park, the development of a nature preserve along the littp://www2.nbe 17.com/member-centerlsliare-this/print/?content=ar6 l 4248 12/ 14/2010 Page 2 of? greenway, creation of a public parking area near Lbenezer Church Rd, allowing; use of the quarry for flood control purposes, and finally, the certainty of a known solution rather than prolonging; the uncertainty and present status quo."

Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary Our office has completed its review of Hanson Aggregates Southeast's blasting information, including blast reports and seismograph recordings, related to the August 13 through 27, 2007 blasts conducted at its Crabtree Quarry. It was found that Hanson Aggregates Southeast was in compliance with the blasting requirements of its mining permit during the period in question. All peak particle velocities, a measurement of ground vibration with units in inches per second (ips), were well below the maximum allowable limits specified in Hanson Aggregates Southeast's mining permit. More specifically, all recorded values were at or below .135 ips at the closest offsite occupied structure (the location where compliance with the permit limits is determined). According to extensive research by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and others, particle velocities below 0.5 ips effectively eliminate the possibility of any structural damage. All airblast readings, a measurement of the atmospheric pressure wave (overpressure) with units in psi or dBL, were also below the maximum allowable limits specified in the mining permit and well below the U. S. Bureau of Mines' recognized level of 164 dBL for prevention of glass breakage. A key point worth noting is that glass breakage occurs at much lower levels of overpressure than structural damage, such as cracking plaster. Thank you for your interest and patience in this matter. Hopefully I have answered your concerns adequately. If you should have any additional questions or concerns, please contact me at (919) 733- 4574. Sincerely, 44�x `�dL Judith A.

Activity is now beginning in a new area of the pit and I want our basis to be covered. The amount and exact locations is unknown at this time while we develop a mine plan.

Stanley 4101 Balsam Drive Raleigh, North Carolina 27612 RE: Blasting Complaint Crabtree Quarry Permit No. 92-03 Wake County Dear Mr. Stanley: Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr:, Secretary Our office has completed its review of Hanson Aggregates Southeast Inc.'s blasting information, including blast reports and seismograph recordings, related to the September 4 through October 1, 2007 blasts conducted at its Crabtree Quarry. It was found that Hanson Aggregates Southeast Inc. was in compliance with the blasting requirements of its mining permit during the period in question. All peak particle velocities, a measurement of ground vibration with units in inches per second (ips), were well below the maximum allowable limits specified in Hanson Aggregates Southeast Inc.'s mining permit. More specifically, all recorded values were at or below .070 ips at the closest offsite occupied structure (the location where compliance with the permit limits is determined). According to extensive research by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and others, particle velocities below 0.5 ips effectively eliminate the possibility of any structural damage. All airblast readings, a measurement of the atmospheric pressure wave (overpressure) with units in psi or dBL, were also below the maximum allowable limits specified in the mining permit and well below the U. S. Bureau of Mines' recognized level of 164 dBL for prevention of glass breakage. A key point worth noting is that glass breakage occurs at much lower levels of overpressure than structural damage, such as cracking plaster, Thank you for your interest and patience in this matter. Hopefully I have answered your concerns adequately. If you should have any additional questions or concerns, please contact me at (919) 733- 4574. Sincerely, r Judith A.

According to the complainant, Mr. William W. Stanley, the vibrations produced from the blasts at the Crabtree Quarry for several months caused his house to shake. As provided in the mining permit for this site, you are requested to provide this office duplicate copies of all shot records related to the blasts conducted during September 2007, including any seismograph recordings made. Please make sure the records include distances for the seismograph locations and stemming length per hole and type. It is recommended that you discuss this matter with Mr. Stanley. His address and telephone number are as follows: 4101 Balsam Drive Raleigh, North Carolina 27612 (919) 782-7036 I look forward to receiving the requested information in the near future.

The following comments and revisions to the plan were prepared by Mr. Allen King, a Lehigh Hanson employee and professional engineer licensed in the State of North Carolina. Comments and revisions to the plans are as follows: A. The slope as shown on the Section A -A on sheet #1 (--245 top and 225 toe) is the existing slope from the plant down to Crabtree Creek. The portion of the slope from elevation 225 to 240 has been in place since the construction of the plant approximately in the late 1950's. This area has been constructed of structural fill, rock and rip -rap. Over the course of the years this slope has established with volunteer vegetation. To modify this slope would require permitting from the Corp of Engineers and Division of Water Quality. The back slope of the basin is under the plant area and, therefore, not possible to change. The interior slope of the basin was designed utilizing the grade elevations as surveyed. As a rule of thumb, for embankment stability, the sum of the horizontal component of the internal & external slopes should equal 5 or greater (meaning if the interior slope is 2:1 the exterior slope should be 3:1 or greater). Using the existing exterior slope estimated by Mr. Pickle (1.5:1) the interior slope should be constructed at 3.5:1 slope. The details and plans have been modified to reflect the change in the slopes. As shown, this change moves the center line of the basin a_pproximatelV 4 feet towards the plant. This would make an insignificant change in the volume of the basin. B. The detail showing the EPDM membrane has been revised to show a reinforced pond liner membrane 45 mil. thick. C. The pump float settings have been revised as follows: Pump On & Pump Off elevation equals 241.0, the emergency Pump Off elevation will be been set at 243.5. The float settings are such that the "pump off' elevation allows for the basin to be dewatered without the sump being completely drained. The "pump on" elevation has been set for 241.0. Given the small basin size and the estimated Q25 of 11,22 CFS, with these float settings the pump (capacity is 3500 GPM) will cycle as; basin fill time for 35 minutes and pump run time for 80 minutes. The upper 'pump off' elevation of 243.5 has been set at the same elevation as the crest of the emergency spillway. This has been set such that in the event that water surface elevation of Crabtree Creek rises to the point such that it begins to back flow into the basin the pumps will be shut off so as to not allow for creek water to be pumped into the pit. As the creek water level drops, power to the pumps can be restored and pumps automatically restarted. D. The upslope limit of the basin terminates at the foundation of the plant structure. Since the installation of the basin, during large storm water events, water does back up and spread under the plant. Although the water does back up under the plant the 3500 GPM capacity pumps keeps this to a minimum. E. Acknowledged and revised. We trust that this information is sufficient for your review and approval. Should you have additional questions feel free to contact me.

Your company has been found to be in compliance with the blasting requirements of your mining permit. I have already notified the complainant, Ms. Jill Heaton, of our findings. However, please be advised that Blasting Conditions No. 8.A. and 8. of Mining Permit 92--03 requires that the operator not. exceed 1.0 inch per second and 128 dbl at the immediate location of the closest occupied dwelling. Thus, by monitoring at this location, whenever possible, your company will have a true indication of its compliance with these permit conditions for each blast event.

It was found that Benchmark Carolina Aggregates was within the blasting requirements of their mining permit. All peak particle velocities, a measurement of grbund vibration with units in inches per second (ips)', were well below the maximum allowable limit of 1.0 ips. specified in Benchmark Carolina Aggregates' mining permit. More specifically, all recorded -valueswere at or below -.eight. percent .of. the maximum. limit of 1.0,ips. According to extensive research by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and others, particle velocities below 0.5 ips under the worst geologic conditions and below 2.0 ips for typical geologic conditions effectively eliminate the possibility of any structural damage. All airblast readings, a measurement of the atmospheric pressure wave .(overpressure.).with units in psi or dBL, were below J..0 ' 1 L-.7 -1 l~ F 9 -10 A13T - - - -; � i -A i r.

A key point worth noting is that glass breakage occurs at much lower levels of overpressure than structural damage, such as cracking plaster, and the U.S. Bureau of Mines' standard already includes a safety factor.

Lineberry from Benchmark Carolina Aggregates, blasting procedures on September 11, 1996 at the site varied from the normal blasting procedures. The blast was fired at 4:35 pm, which is later than usual. Also, because of limited manpower, the seismograph was set up at the office building onsite instead of at the closest offsite occupied dwelling. The company has been made aware that seismographic monitoring of all blasts at the site should be done at the closest occupied offsite dwelling, whenever possible. Thank you for your interest and patience in this matter. r hope that we have answered your concerns adequately.

John Holley, P.E. 4 Blasting Complaint Benchmark Carolina Permit No. 92-02 Wake Countv December 3, 1996 on September 11. 1996 Agareaates The records from August 29. September 11 and September 18, 1996 do not show anv violations or apparent abnormalities. Airblast recordings were well below the permit's blasting condition limits, both measured and calculated. I tend to aaree with Mr. Lineberrv's assessment of the situation. His assessment stated that blasting procedures deviated from the normal routine and may have caused apprehension. First, the blast was conducted at an abnormal time. Secondly, monitoring was not conducted at the nearest offsite dwelling. With no electricity, hurricane debris everywhere and limited water supply, I feel certain that the residents in the area were sensitive to the blast. Weather conditions did not appear to be a problem during the blasting periods. The company, however, should have monitored the blast as required in the permit conditions and the response letter should contain language that brings this fact to their attention.4,/ V 0 • TAND OUALITY SFr(TTOII BIASTTNG ANALYSIS WORRSEEET f= Denotes fields where input data is neededl Permit Number: -> 92-03 Permitte : BENCB]IW ]line Name; CRABTREE QUARRY 43 ; O d Blast Reoortf: 42 Date of Blast: 08/29/96 Time of Blastair1:06:00 Peak Particle velocity Check: n = niefAnrn fn rinenef nffeifo nrrnniad ef•rnrflro (W .

I apologize for the delay in getting these to you. In trying to get these reports from Vibra-Tech Engineers, 1 learned that since .lay Rodgers left, they are being sent to Atlanta for review by the regional manager prior to being mailed to us. At some point in this process, UPS lost track of two boxes of reports and it took quite some time for them to be located. I have sent the reports for the blast on September 11 which generated the complaint and reports for the blasts immediately before and after that one. There were two deviations from our normal procedures on September 11. The first was the time that the shot was fired and the second was that the seismograph was not taken off site to monitor the blast. Wednesday. September 1 1 was five days after Hurricane Fran. The heavy rain had left 10 to 12 feet of water in our pit. All the material that we had shot up to send to the plant was not accessible and we had to drill and shoot a shot on a higher level of the pit before crushing operations could resume. On September 11, the only people on site to load the shot were the drilling and blasting foreman, the plant foreman and the drill operator; as all other employees had been sent home the previous Friday. Heavy rain subsequent to Hurricane Fran had washed material into many of the drill holes which had to be cleaned out before loading. The shot took much longer than normal to load and, consequently, was not fired until 4:35 pm. Our usual procedure is to shoot between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm. The second deviation was also created by only having three people to conduct the security, signaling and actual firing of the shot. There was no one available to take the seismograph off site. However, the seismograph was in our office, which is closer to the blast than any area of Oak Park, was plugged in and in the monitor mode. Vibra-Tech's report confirms this and that the ground vibration and air overpressure levels were below those required to trigger the seismograph. P.O.

Box 27687 Raleigh, NC 27611 Re: Process water pond modifi- cation at Crabtree Quarry Dear Mr. Davis: Please find enclosed plans and calculations, in duplicate, for the enlargement of the closed circuit process water settling pond at Crabtree Quarry. This project is being undertaken to increase the storage capacity of the primary settlement pond and to divert stormwater flow away from the pond. This will serve to increase the efficiency of the settlement pond while decreasing the chance of overtopping the pond by stormwater during flood events. 1V aC:4uulptisll this, two small settlement IJclsllls are being installed upstream of the process pond and one stormwater runoff diversion ditch is being constructed. Once the diversion ditch and basins are constructed, the process water pond will be enlarged to the dimensions as indicated on the plans. Any excess dirt which is excavated from the ponds and ditches will be hauled offsite to local construction projects. Nello Teer Company has contacted the Division of Environmental Management by phone and they have indicated that since this was a small increase in pond size, their department would not require a review of this project as long as the land auality section was reviewina it for erosion and sediment control. Teer, therefore, has not sent a copy of the modification to the non -discharge permitting group. Should you have any questions regarding this mine modification, please do not hesitate to call.

Box 27687 Raleigh, NC 27611 Re: Process water pond modifi- cation at Crabtree Quarry Dear Mr. Davis: Please find enclosed plans and calculations, in duplicate, for the enlargement of the closed circuit process water settling pond at Crabtree Quarry. This project is being undertaken to increase the storage capacity of the primary settlement pond and to divert stormwater flow away from the pond. This will serve to increase the efficiency of the settlement pond while decreasing the chance of overtopping the pond by stormwater during flood events. To accomplish this, two small settlement basins are being installed upstream of the process pond and one stormwater runoff diversion ditch is being constructed. Once the diversion ditch and basins are constructed, the process water pond will be enlarged to the dimensions as indicated on the plans, Any excess dirt which is excavated f t `_ ro ii �.lic poii47 and ditches will be hauled offsite to local construction projects. Nello Teer Company has contacted the Division of Environmental Management by phone and they have indicated that since this was a small increase in pond size, their department would not require a review of this project as long as the land quality section was reviewing it for erosion and. sediment control. Teer, therefore, has not sent a copy of the modification to the non -discharge permitting group. Should you have any questions regarding this mine modification, please do not hesitate to call.
