Assistant State Mining Specialist

Subject: Hanson Aggregates Southeast, LLC — Princeton II Quarry
NC Mine Permit No. 51-05 Mine Modification Application Submittal
Princeton, Johnston County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Parr:
Hanson Aggregates Southeast LLC recently acquired additional properties north of the existing
pit, across Rains Mill Road, across Old Cornwallis Road, and properties east of the pit, across
Little River. The properties intended for quarry operations fall under Johnston County
jurisdiction, and those properties were rezoned for quarrying operations on November 4, 2019.
On August 10, 2020, the DEMLR approved our mine modification application to add the
acquired properties to the mine permit; however, the properties across Rains Mill Road and
across Little River were not permitted for disturbance. To provide additional areas for
overburden storage and start quarry operations across Rains Mill Road with a new pit, Hanson
is hereby submitting the enclosed mine permit modification application to install the following:
1. One driveway entrance to the property north of the existing rear pit entrance
2. Install visual screening berms along the property perimeter and associated BMPs and
erosion and sediment control structures for the property north of the existing pit
3. Install a "New Pit' quarry operation via portable crushing plant and the product(s) hauled
across Rains Mill Road to the existing plant operations
4. Two driveway entrances to cross Old Cornwallis Road from the New Pit area
5. Install visual screening berms along the property perimeter and associated BMPs and
erosion and sediment control structures for the property west of Old Cornwallis Road
Prior rezoning the properties in Johnston County jurisdiction, Hanson had the following studies
conducted and forwarded to Johnston County Planning Staff for its review: (1) Wetlands and
steam delineations by S&EC, (2) Endangered Species Study by S&EC, (3) Summary from the
Archaeological Studies by S&ME and HPO Response, and (4) Well Survey as part of the
Groundwater Study prepared by Golder Associates. Since these studies were conducted for
future quarrying across Rains Mill Road and/or across Little River, the reports of those studies
were not included in the previous mine permit modification application, but those studies are
included with this application submittal. Buffer determinations were last evaluated by the DWR
in 2015, and Johnston County is now the governing body. To date we have not been able to
obtain renewed 2015 determinations or buffer determinations for the 2018 evaluated tracts.

Likewise, the USACE has not issued jurisdictional determinations for features evaluated in
2018. S&EC is communicating with Johnston County and the USACE to obtain these
determinations so that an individual permit application can be submitted for areas shown below
and on the enclosed M&ECP-1 Mine Map. S&EC will submit an individual permit application
when the final jurisdictional determinations and buffer calls have been received. Wetland and
stream buffer credits will be purchased for the below stated features. Until an individual permit
has been obtained, these following areas will be buffered from disturbance.
- P1 Pond and #639 TT 634
W3 Wetland, #633 TT 611 and #615 TT 615
The proposed Overburden Pile #8 on the tract west of Old Cornwallis Road and north of Rains
Mill Road can only be accessed by replacing an existing crossing with a temporary Mine Road,
marked RC-1 on the M&ECP-1 Mine Map, that crosses 40 linear feet (0.005 acres) of buffered
stream as described in the following table and RC-1 Crossing details shown on the M&ECP-2
Mine Map:
Princeton II Quarry Wetland &
Stream Impacts
Impact Amount Units
Zone 1 2400 SQ FT
Zone 2 1600 SQ FT —
Stream 40 LN FT 0.005 Acres
Following the 8/10/2020 mine permit modification approval, a visual screen buffer was installed
along Rains Mill Road to screen the existing pit, and this modification will request the same
berm installation on the north side of Rains Mill Road and other perimeter visual screening

berms. A 25-foot undisturbed buffer will be designated from the road right-of-way, while the 75-
foot unexcavated buffer will be utilized to construct a visual screening berm. The exterior side
will be sloped 3-to-1 with rows of trees planted. BMPs including silt fencing will be utilized for
constructing the visual berm exterior side, and the interior side will be diverted to the pit. Please
see the proposed pit expansion area shown on the M&ECP-1 Mine Map and the bottom left
corner of X-1 Mine Map to view the typical berm detail.
To access the "New Pit' from the existing "Old Pit", a driveway entrance will be installed directly
across from the former "Old Pit" entrance drive, and a driveway permit will be obtained from the
NCDOT. This location is 2,000 feet east of the Old Cornwallis Road intersection and 1,000 feet
west of Little River, and there are no curves. To improve safety, Hanson plans to install a pole
mounted light that illuminates, via radar sensors, whenever a vehicle approaches within 500 feet
of the mine road crossing. The same equipment is used successfully at our Elliott Sand &
Gravel facility crossing on NC Hwy 217 in Erwin, NC.
To access the overburden piles across Old Cornwallis Road from the "New Pit', a driveway
entrance will be installed on each side of the road as shown on the M&ECP-1 Mine Map, and
driveway permits will be obtained from the NCDOT. There is ample visibility from both
directions, and the same type illuminating pole mounted light can be used at this crossing.
Because the pit was expanded closer to Rains Mill Road, a Blast Protocol was submitted and
approved with the 8/10/2020 mine modification approval. With the request to open a "New Pit'
on the north side of Rains Mill Road, Hanson has amended the blasting plan to include land
within 250-feet of Rains Mill Road. When a blast is scheduled to occur in the 8/10/2020
approved "Old Pit' expansion area or within 250-feet of Rains Mill Road in the "New Pit' area, a
procedure will be implemented to block traffic from the east and west sides along Rains Mill
Road. Likewise, when a blast is scheduled within 250-feet of Old Cornwallis Road, a procedure
will be implemented to block traffic from the north and south sides along Old Cornwallis Road.
Personnel requirements and flyrock prevention guidelines are included. Please see the attached
BP-1 Blasting Mine Map showing blast plans and an enlarged view of the blast area requiring
traffic blockage along Rains Mill Road or along Old Cornwallis Road.
To readily locate certain features, Hanson has assigned ID numbers to all its existing
overburden piles, #1, #2, #3, #4, & #5 and the three proposed overburden piles #6, #7 & #8.
See Mine Map M&ECP-1 to locate proposed overburden piles #6, #7 & #8, and see the lower
right corner of Mine Map X-3 to view Sediment Trap Details for ST-6, ST-7, ST-8A, and ST-8B.

For this modification, sediment traps ST-6, ST-7, ST-8A, and ST-8B were designed for the
construction of proposed overburden piles #6, #7, and #8. Those sediment trap details can be
found in the lower right-hand corner of the X-3 Mine Map. To maintain and monitor the proposed
sediment traps, access roads have been included between the base of the overburden pile and
the upstream side of each of the proposed sediment traps. On the back side of each sediment
trap a 15-foot vegetated buffer is planned to provide further protection from any stream buffer or
any buffer. The details are labeled "Typical Sediment Basin Access Cross Section" and can be
found close to the center of the X-2 Mine Map.
When listing the current and proposed acreage for disturbance, the total acreage was divided
into three (3) separate areas:
1. "Old Pit" area for land east of Old Cornwallis Road, south of Rains Mill Road, and west of
Little River
2. "New Pit" area for land north of Rains Mill Road
3. "Across River" for land west of Little River
Total mine permitted area shall remain at 779.6 acres, and the total amount of land permitted for
disturbance will increase from 233.6 acres to 400.9 acres. All the requested acreage for
disturbance will occur in the "New Pit" area. The below table can be found in the application and
on the M&ECP-1 Mine Map.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
NOTE:
IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, THE MAPS MUST ALSO INCLUDE ANY SITE -SPECIFIC
INFORMATION THAT IS PROVIDED IN THE ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS
IN THIS APPLICATION FORM (PLEASE NOTE THE ITALICIZED QUESTIONS/STATEMENTS
THROUGHOUT THE FORM). THIS APPLICATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED COMPLETE
WITHOUT ALL RELEVANT ITEMS BEING ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED ON THE MINE
MAPS.
C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
l . Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference
the sequence to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
The pit is developed in the normal fashion for a mature granite operation. Areas adjacent to the existing
pit are stripped to rock by dirt haulers or our contractors. This disturbed area is made to drain back to
the pit or to approved erosion control structures. The sequence of existing pit, stripped areas and future
pit areas is shown on the submitted Mine Map.
Hanson has acquired properties across Rains Mill Road, which is north of the existing permitted
quarry (Old Pit) and properties across the river. In 2019, those acquired properties were rezoned for
quarry operations, and in 2020, the properties were added to the existing mine permit but not for
disturbance.
For this mine modification, Hanson proposes to start quarry operations in a 92.8-acre "New Pit'
within the 149.09-acre Lottmann tract that is east of Old Cornwallis Road and north of Rains Mill
Road. The initial new pit will start with visual screening berm and overburden pile construction using
material excavated down to granite. Portable crushing operations are planned for the initial quarry
operations with crushed rock hauled across the street for processing at the existing plant. The Rains
Mill Road crossing will be located at its existing former quarry entrance. A driveway entrance has
been located directly across the street from the former quarry entrance, and a driveway permit
application will be submitted to the NC DOT. This location is 2,000 feet east of the Old Cornwallis
Road intersection and 1,000 feet west of Little River, and there are no curves. To improve safety,
Hanson plans to install a pole mounted light that illuminates, via radar sensors, whenever a vehicle
approaches within 500 feet of the mine road crossing. The same equipment is used at our Elliott Sand
& Gravel facility crossing on NC Hwy 217 in Erwin, NC.
Mine dewatering/process wastewater will be pumped through an existing pipe under Rains Mill Road
into the existing closed loop recycle system that ultimately discharges into Little River. Calculations
and erosion and sediment controls have been included with the mine modification application for
berm construction and overburden pile construction.
On the 31.27-acre and 29.71-acre Lottman tracts located north of Rains Mill Road and west of Old
Cornwallis Road, no mine excavation is planned. Only visual screen berms and overburden pile
construction are planned. Two driveway entrances have been located on the mine map to provide
access the overburden piles planned across Old Comwallis Road from the New Pit. Driveway permit
applications will be submitted to the NC DOT.
Acquired properties across Little River were rezoned in 2019 and mine permitted in 2020 but not for
disturbance at this time.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during
mining to prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for
mine excavation(s), waste piles, access/mine roads and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of
installation and schedule for maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion
control measures on the mine map(s) and provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required to justify the adequacy of any proposed
measures.
Erosion control measures are noted in the attached Mine Map. These structures are all designed
according to the specifications shown in the Surface Mining Manual distributed by the Land Quality
Section. Details for all existing structures have been submitted and approved through past submittals.
Any new erosion control structures as part of this renewal are detailed in the supporting documents.
For this modification, sediment traps ST-6, ST-7, ST-8A, and ST-813 were designed for the construction
of proposed overburden piles #6, #7, and #8. Those sediment trap details can be found in the lower
right-hand corner of the X-3 Mine Map. To maintain and monitor the proposed sediment traps, access
roads have been included between the base of the overburden pile and the upstream side of each of the
proposed sediment traps. On the back side of each sediment trap a 15-foot vegetated buffer is planned
to provide further protection from any stream buffer or any buffer. The details are labeled "Typical
Sediment Basin Access Cross Section" and can be found close to the center of the X-2 Mine Map.
Existing and proposed overburden piles have been assigned ID numbers for clearer identification along
with corresponding sediment traps and basins. During the construction of overburden piles, slope drains
will be installed where necessary to prevent erosion. Overburden pile construction and slope drain
installation details can be found on the X-2 mine Map. Slope drain rock inlets and rock outlet mats
shall be installed as shown in the details.
For this modification, to access overburden pile #8, it was necessary to show a mine road crossing a
jurisdictional intermittent stream. There will be less than or equal to 40-linear feet riparian stream
impact. Erosion control BMPs, installation and restoration details, and stream impacts for the RC-1
crossing can be found on the M&ECP-2 Mine Map. A notification packet will be submitted to the DWR
detailing Hanson's intent to install a Mine Road across the jurisdictional stream buffer.
3. a. Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other waste water
handling? Yes X No ❑. If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be
used.
The crushed stone production process requires water for washing the sized stone products at the wash
screen to remove dust and fines for the eventual use in asphalt and ready mix concrete. The water is
recycled through a closed circuit process water settling pond system. Wash water from the plant is
collected and delivered to one of three primary water ponds, where most of the fines are removed by
simply settling out of suspension. These ponds operate in sequence, with one being out of service at
any one time for dipping out of the collected fines using a drag line or long reach excavator. The water
then flows to the secondary pond where settling of additional finer particles takes place. The secondary
pond also serves as a freshwater pond, and the clean water is pumped back to the plant for re -use in the
stone washing process. Due to loss to evaporation from the ponds and loss into the stone products, the
water balance is periodically restored by supplementing with groundwater pumped from the quarry as
part of the dewatering process.
Water is also used for dust control at the facility. Water is used at the processing plants by introduction
through sprays at crushers and at conveyor transfer points to control dust emissions. It is also used in
the water truck to control dust emanating from haul roads, stockpiles, and the shot rock pile in the pit.
Water used in dust suppression is usually pulled either from the quarry dewatering or from the
secondary settling/freshwater pond. Water utilized to control dust from the secondary plant is partly
acquired from the county water supply.
At the present time, no chemicals are used in any of these processes; however, there are times it is
necessary to use DEQ approved flocculants in the recycle system to help achieve a cleaner source of
water for the plant washing and dust control. It may also become necessary to use chemicals such as
calcium chloride or organic surfactants on the haul roads and crusting agents on the stone product
stockpiles.
For this modification, the permitting of a new granite quarry, water may be used to wet the muck pile
and to wet the haul roads. The source of water will most likely be groundwater and stormwater draining

to the new pit. For now, a portable crushing plant will be utilized, and the product(s) will be hauled
across Rains Mill Road to the existing plant processing operations.
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? Yes X No ❑. If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and
locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method ofstabilization) on your mine map(s).
We currently operate under the NPDES COC No. NCG020124 General Permit that covers the discharge
of excess groundwater and stormwater from the quarry dewatering process, as well as any excess water
from our closed circuit settling pond system. The discharge water passes through a separate settling
pond prior to being discharged into intermittent conveyances reaching Little River. The NPDES Permit
also covers stormwater from the mine sites through multiple point source discharge points.
c. Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table? Yes X NoEl.
If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)? Yes X NoEl.
If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Estimated withdrawal
rate in gallons per day: 2020 average was recorded as 1.6 million gals/day. Locate all existing
wells on the mine map(s) 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.
Granite mines do not typically cause a problem with wells on adjacent properties. This site does not
have a history of such problems. The amount of groundwater contained in the pit discharge is
unknown. A large amount of water discharged is stormwater collected in the pit sump. No wells owned
by others are located within 500 feet of the excavation area. Dwellings around the quarry are served
by water supply wells or public water supply.
Removal of the overburden has very little effect on shallow wells in the area since the pits, for the
most part, sit on a topographic high, and very little recharge area for shallow wells will be disturbed.
The overburden materials in the pit areas are silts, clays, and sand which inhibit groundwater
migration.
No impact to wells within 500 feet of the quarries have been reported.
d. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or
obtained the appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.) from
the Stormwater Program. In addition, the applicant is required to register water use with the Division
of Water Resources, Ground Water Management Branch, if the operation withdraws more than 10,000
gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit from the Division of Water Resources, Ground Water
Management Branch, if the operation lies in a capacity use area and withdraws more than 100,000
gallons per day.
The Princeton II Quarry operates under NPDES COC No. NCG020124 General Permit. Water
withdrawals are reported annually by April l' to the DWR under Facility ID No. 0340-0009.
4. a. Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions? Yes X NoEl.
If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the
Division of Air Quality or local governing body.
NC Air Permit No. 02065R22, issued by NCDENR DAQ is in place for quarrying. A complete system
of water sprays and/or water carry-over strategies are in place for all crushers and conveyor transfer
points to control particulate emissions from these sources.
b. How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
A water truck is used to wet the haul roads and stockpiles as needed to control fugitive emissions from
these sources.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
5. a.A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-
way. It may be an unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms and erosion &
sedimentation control measures may be installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance
within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two, depending upon the site conditions. Note
that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary
or right-of-way at this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended, although a wider buffer
may be needed depending on site conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
It is anticipated that a minimum 50-foot undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any mining
activity and existing property line or highway right of way. An additional 50 foot unexcavated buffer
will be maintained and may include visual screening via visual berm or tree plantings. Buffer
locations and widths can be viewed on the attached mine maps.
The buffer locations and widths are shown on the Mine Map and Details Map. For the properties
along Old Cornwallis Road and Rains Mill Road, a 25-foot undisturbed buffer starting at the road
right-of-way will be maintained and a 75-unexcavated is planned with a visual screening berm
installed above the unexcavated.
b. A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities
within the mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller
undisturbed buffers can be justified. Depending on site conditions, a buffer wider than 50 feet may
be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the
mining permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer
locations and widths on the mine map(s).
A minimum 50-ft undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities and
any natural watercourses and wetlands on this site. The attached plans have been previously approved
and show specific details relevant to buffers at each location.
2. a. Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries
during mining. Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and minimum
3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for sandy material are generally required, unless technical
justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
To prevent landslides and/or slope failure adjacent to adjoining properties, cut slopes will be graded
no steeper than 1-1/2 to 1, and fill slopes will be graded no steeper than 2:1, and proper compaction
procedures will be utilized on fill slopes. All slopes will be stabilized by seeding as soon as possible
after grading has been completed. Necessary erosion controls will be used to prevent slope failure by
concentrated stormwater runoff. Excavation or fill will not generally occur within 100' or 50'
respectively of any adjoining property boundary or right of way except for the installation of visual
screen berms.
For this submittal, plans have been included for the installation of visual screen berms and overburden
piles along Old Cornwallis Road and Rains Mill Road. Please see X-1 Mine Map for typical berm
construction details and X-2 Mine Map for overburden pile construction..
b. Provide a cross-section on the mine map(s) for all fill slopes (berms, wastepiles, overburden
disposal areas, etc.), clearly indicating the intended side slope gradient, installation of any benches
and/or slope drains (with supporting design information) if needed, and the method of final
stabilization.
See attached previously approved mine plans for generalized locations and specific details.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
c. In excavation(s) of unconsolidated (non -rock) materials, specify the angle of all cut slopes
including specifications for benching and sloping. Cross -sections for all cut slopes must be
provided on the mine map(s).
The maximum slope within the pit excavation will be 1-1 /2:1 in unconsolidated overburden interface.
See attached drawings as well as previously approved mine plans for detailed sections.
d. In hardrock excavations, specify proposed bench widths and heights in feet. Provide cross -
sections of the mine excavation clearly noting the angles of the cut slopes, widths of all safety
benches and mine benches, and the expected maximum depth of the excavation.
At the Princeton II Quarry, all benches are mined on a V4 to 1 slope with bench heights of 40 to 45
feet and catch benching widths of at least 15 feet. See attached drawings as well as previously
approved plans for detail sections. It is typical of our current mining operations to leave a 15-foot
wide safety bench for every 35 feet of vertical height.
Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring
dwelling house, public road, public, commercial or industrial building from any mine excavation.
Locate all such structures on the mine map if they are within 300 feet of any proposed excavation.
Hanson has always used the most modern and up-to-date mining methods in existence to ensure the
safety of its employees and neighbors. Sufficient buffers and proper berm construction are left to
minimize the impact of excavations on adjoining properties and structures.
8. Describe what kind of barricade will be used to prevent inadvertent public access along any high wall
area and when it will be implemented. Vegetated earthen berms, appropriate fencing and adequate
boulder barriers may be acceptable high wall barricades. A construction detail/cross-section and
location of each type of barricade to be used must be indicated on the mine map(s).
Sufficient buffers and proper berm construction ensure minimum impact to adjoining property
owners. Access to the property itself is restricted by gates and cables that are kept locked when the
quarries are not in operation. Berns and overburden disposal areas also block access to much of the
site and inactive highwalls. During the life of the quarry, barricades of either oversized rocks or
concrete are used adjacent to active highwalls and are relocated as the pit developes.
9. Are acid producing minerals or soils present? Yes ❑ No X.
If yes, how will acid water pollution from the excavation, stockpiles and waste areas be controlled?
Mine dewatering analytical testing has shown no signs of acid water pollution.
10. a. Describe specific plans (including a schedule of implementation) for screening the operation from
public view such as maintaining or planting trees, bushes or other vegetation, building berms or other
measures. Show the location of all visual screening on the mine map(s) and provide cross -sections
through all proposed berms or proposed spacing, sizes and species for tree plantings.
Existing trees, terrain and berms effectively screen our operations from nearby roads and homes. Trees
and/or vegetation have been planted on the berms and in such areas as to promote future long-term
screening and soil stability.
For this modification, visual screen berms will be installed (1) along both sides of Old Cornwallis Road,
(2) along the north side of Rains Mill Road, and (3) along the property perimeter. Trees will be planted
along the exterior slopes of the screening berms.
b. Could the operation have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a publicly owned park,
forest or recreation area? If so, how will such effects (i.e., noise, visibility, etc.) be mitigated?
There are no publicly owned parks, forest or recreation areas adjacent to the quarry.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
11. 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.
Depending on the mine's location to nearby structures, more detailed technical information may be
required on the blasting program (such as a third -party blasting study). Locate the nearest offsite
occupied structure(s) to the proposed excavation(s) on the mine map and indicate its approximate
distance to the proposed excavation.
Ensign Bickford or comparable nonel blast initiation system is used to inadvertent blast initiation
especially during possible thunderstorms. An electronic initiation system may be substituted for the
nonel system if it is deemed a better overall system. Weather conditions are monitored continuously
before, during, and after loading of each shot to insure that the shot will not be initiated under adverse
weather conditions that might cause blast emissions to drift in an unacceptable direction or might prevent
proper venting of the blast wave away from adjoining properties. ANFO premixed powder is used in
dry holes. A cap -sensitive high explosive emulsion is used for wet holes and initiation of the ANFO.
Since blasting is an integral part of this operation, each blast is monitored with a seismograph to insure
that peak particle velocities and peak over pressures are within the limits established by local, state, and
federal authorities. Hanson works closely with consultants (often Vibratech) to monitor and review each
blast and seismographic recording. Along with the seismograph results, fragmentation and flyrock
conditions are constantly monitored, and the blasting program, including direction of blasting, hole size
and pattern, stemming, etc. are adjusted as needed to insure best and safest results.
For this modification, blasting will start in the New Pit on the north side of Rains Mill Road after the
overburden has been relocated and granite exposed. Hanson owns or leases land on (1) both sides of
Rains Mill Road, (2) across Little River bordering the east side of the existing pit, (3) south of the pit
where processing occurs, and (4) west of the pit, across Old Cornwallis Road. There are no residential
houses within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Prior any blasting within 250 feet of Rains Mill
Road, Hanson will utilize traffic personnel to stop traffic on Rains Mill Road on both the east and west
ends of the blast zone. Prior any blasting within 250 feet of Old Cornwallis Road, Hanson will utilize
traffic personnel to stop traffic on Old Cornwallis Road on both the north and south ends of the blast
zone. Traffic and blast protocols can be found on the BP-1 (Blasting) Mine Map.
12. Will fuel tanks, solvents, or other chemical reagents be stored on -site? Yes X No ❑.
If yes, describe these materials, how they will be stored and method of containment in case of spill.
Indicate the location(s) of all storage facilities on the mine map(s).
Onsite storage of diesel fuel, gasoline, and various oils and greases is necessary to facilitate the operation
of various equipment needed to mine and process crushed stone aggregates. The bulk storage tanks for
diesel fuel, gasoline, and oils are approved aboveground storage tanks having concrete secondary
containment and/or doublewall tank construction. Any major spill or leak from these tanks would be
contained within the concrete containment structures and/or doublewall steel containment walls.
Greases and other oils are stored in aboveground storage tanks and 55-gallon drums and are stored in a
concrete containment structure. Used oil is collected from equipment and picked up for offsite recycling
by properly certified contractors. Empty oil and grease barrels are returned to the supplier or cleaned
and placed into the metal scrap bin for offsite recycling. The Princeton II facility has a Spill Prevention
Control & Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan that requires monthly inspections of all bulk fuel and lube
storage units. All employees are trained on a regular basis in the proper handling of petroleum products,
managing and cleaning of spills, and proper disposal of rags, absorbent materials, and any contaminated
soils.

D. RECLAMATION PLAN
1. Describe your intended plan for the final reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate
the sequence and general methods to be used in reclaiming this land. This must include the method of
reclamation of settling ponds and/or sediment control basins and the method of restoration or
establishment of any permanent drainage channels to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other
pollution. This information must be illustrated on a reclamation map and must correspond directly with
the information provided on the mine map(s). In addition, design information, including typical
cross -sections, of any permanent channels to be constructed as part of the reclamation plan and the
location(s) of aljpermanent channels must be indicated on the reclamation map.
The mine excavations will be allowed to fill to a normal level by groundwater and stormwater runoff from
adjoining areas whenever the mining operations are completed. The resulting deep water lake may be used
for recreation, and potentially as a fresh water supply. The plant sites, stockpile areas, and overburden
disposal areas will be graded and seeded with grasses suitable for establishment of grasslands and wildlife
areas. Process and pit water settling ponds will be filled and similarly reclaimed to grasslands unless they
are a part of the overall site drainage and reclamation plan.
See attached reclamation drawings, Mine Map RP-1, for specific details.
3. Is an excavated or impounded body of water to be left as a part of the reclamation? Yes X No ❑.
If yes, illustrate the location of the body(s) of water on the reclamation map and provide a scaled
cross-section(s) through the proposed body(s) of water. The minimum water depth must be at least 4 feet,
measured from the normal low water table elevation, unless information is provided to indicate that a more
shallow water body will be productive and beneficial at this site.
Will the body(s) of water be stocked with fish? Yes ❑ No X.
If yes, specity species.
It is Hanson's intent to convert the quarry into a fresh water lake upon cessation of mining activities. In
addition, the fresh water pond, as shown on the attached drawings, will remain. A large percentage of the
mining area will be left as impounded water. In some areas, overburden will be backfilled to an elevation
several feet above the water table, and seeded according to schedule.
See attached reclamation drawings, Mine Map RP-1, for specific details.
4. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all completed excavations in rock
including what kind of permanent barricade will be left. Acceptable permanent barricades are appropriate
fencing, large boulders placed end -to -end, etc. Construction details and locations of all permanent
barricades must be shown on the reclamation map.
As a safety precaution, a 20-foot wide safety bench will be left at the rock/unconsolidated soil interface.
A permanent fence will be erected around the completed quarries to prevent unauthorized entry, and
danger signs will be posted at regular intervals along the fence to warn folks of the open pits. Large
boulders placed end -to -end may be placed around all excavations in lieu of fencing.
4. Indicate the method(s) of reclamation of overburden, refuse, spoil banks or other such on -site mine waste
areas, including specifications for benching and sloping. Final cross -sections and locations for such areas
must be provided on the reclamation map.
As overburden is placed in designated areas, it is spread and compacted by dozer and haul units. Slopes
in waste areas will be graded 2:1 or flatter and vegetated as soon as possible to prevent erosion. Erosion
control measures and runoff conveyances will be established as the wastepile develops and then
maintained throughout the process until final reclamation is achieved. Drainage on top of the waste areas
will be established to prevent pooling and stagnation of water and to control runoff. Final reclamation of
waste areas will include final top and slope dressing as required followed by seeding in accordance with
the attached revegetation plan. See attached drawings for specific detail.

APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT
5. a. Describe reclamation of processing facilities, stockpile areas, and on -site roadways.
Reclamation in these areas will occur as follows. First, the product stockpiles will be sold down. Then the
processing plants will be dismantled and removed from the site. Any remaining piles, waste piles, and
areas graded for plant layout and operation (including ramps to the primary stations) will be graded 2:1
maximum slope but generally 3:1 or flatter. Finally, these areas will be scarified and seeded according to
the revegetation plan. Any site access roads not utilized in the end use development plan will be treated
in the same manner.
Any erosion control structures in these areas to be incorporated into the end use development of the site
will be cleaned out and left in good working condition.
b. Will any on -site roadways be left as part of the reclamation? Yes X No . Ifyes,
identify such roadways on the reclamation map and provide details on permanent ditch line
stabilization.
Main paved roads into the existing stone processing area will remain for access and future development
purposes. The road through the existing plant site to the former plant area will remain and will be graded,
including side drainage ditches, and stabilized with rock.
6. Describe the method of control of contaminants and disposal of scrap metal, junk machinery, cables, or
other such waste products of mining. (Note definition of refuse in The Mining Act of 1971.)
No off -site Eenerated waste shall be disposed of on the mine site without prior written approval from
the NC Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
and either the Division of Waste Management (DWM) or local governing body. If a disposal permit
has been issued by DWM for the site, a copy of said permit must be attached to this application. All
temporary and permanent refuse disposal areas must be clearly delineated on the mine map(s) and
reclamation map, along with a list of items to be disposed in said areas.
As previously approved, temporary scrap and used equipment storage areas have been developed at this
site. The scrap material and used equipment which accumulate as a result of mining and processing
activities are stored in these areas until sold to an independent recycling contractor.
A scrap bin is maintained on site for disposal by recycling of small metal scrap. Tires are recycled through
the various tire suppliers.
7. Describe your plan for revegetation or other surface treatment of the affected areas. This plan must
include recommendations for year-round seeding, including the time of seeding and the amount and type
of seed, fertilizer, lime and mulch per acre. The recommendations must include general seeding
instructions for both permanent and temporary revegetation. Revegetation utilizing only tree plantings
is not acceptable. Recommendations can be sought from:
a. Authorized representatives of the local Soil and Water Conservation District;
b. Authorized representatives of the NC Forest Service, Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services;
c. Authorized county representatives of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service,
specialists and research faculty with the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Forest
