Box 30013 Raleigh, North Carolina 27622-0013 RE: Modification Request to Mine 515 Acres Castle Hayne Quarry Mining Permit No. 65-01 New Hanover County Dear Ms. Cameron: Chirles H. Gardner Director The initial review has been comple`�'ed on the above referenced request. A copy of said request was forwarded to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) for their review and comment. NCWRC has noted that the proposed 515 acre mine area is located adjacent to the existing mine and is "composed of pine/oak uplands and pocosin/bay wetlands." Ire light of the above, NCWRC has requested that several items be addressed before they can concur with the proposed modification request. I have attached a copy of NCWRC's memorandum to me dated May 25, 1990 outlining these items. This office agrees that each item must be addressed before the mining permit can be modified with the exception of item no. 3 - Resource Inventory. A general survey of the site for only rare, threatened or endangered species will satisfy this office's concern in this area. In addition to the above, this office is also concerned over the potential for sinkhole collapse on and adjacent to the site. This area of concern must be addressed by your company. Furthermore, after the wetlands and their corresponding buffer zones have been delineated on the mine map, the approximate phases of mining and their respective erosion control measures must also be delineated on the mine map.. If no Corps of Engineers (COE) approval has been granted to mine said wetlands then the above phases must be outside said wetlands. On the contrary, if the COE has approved mining through the wetlands, please forward a copy of the approval to this office to support your intentions. Please be advised that should'your mining permit be modified to include the above, it can be modified at any time that the proposed phases, COE approval, etc. change from your original, approved request.

Director REGENEI) MR, 2y 1990 U(ao nunun sEc1+aN MEMORANDUM TO: Tracy Davis, Mining Specialist d Qu 1.ty Section, DEH&NR FROM: Richard B Hamilton Assistant Director DATE: May 25, 1990 SUBJECT: Mining permit application for Martin Marietta, Castle Hayne Quarry, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) has reviewed the subject permit application and professional biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. An onsite investigation was conducted on May 21, 1990 for the purpose of assessing impacts to wildlife and fisheries resources. We are submitting this correspondence in response to your memorandum of April 26, 1990. The applicant, Martin Marietta, Castle Bayne Quarry, is requesting a modification to their mining permit to add a 515 acre tract. The proposed mining area is located adjacent to the existing mine and is.composed of pine/oak uplands and pocosin/hay wetlands. Interspersion of these forest types results in high quality wildlife habitat. Major wildlife species which may occur in the area include white-tailed deer, black bear, grey fox, grey squirrel, bobcat, beaver, mink, otter, muskrat, raccoon, opossum, songbirds, waterfowl, woodpeckers, raptors and various reptiles and amphibians. The pond system may also be home to several fish species which may include bluegill, redfin pickerel, yellow perch and redbreast sunfish. Overall, large scale development projects, such as mines result in significant degradation of our wildlife resources. However, we were unable to evaluate the total impact from the castle Hayne mining proposal due to deficiencies in the information contained in the permit application. The areas where additional information is needed includes: 1. Wetlands ---There are large acreages of wetlands present on the property to be mined. There is no indication on the application that appropriate coordination with state and federal agencies having jurisdiction over wetland resources has occurred. Total acreages of wetlands impacted should be calculated. wetlands provide valuable wildlife habitat as well as critical water quality buffering functions. Because of this important environmental function, the WRC believes it would be in the best interest of the applicant to establish a buffer zone around all wetland areas. 2. Reclamation Plan ---What are the future plans for property once the mining is completed? No plans were included with the application. Mitigation for all wetlands impacted should be included in this plan. 3. Resource Inventory ---A complete inventory of plant and animal communities, including rare, threatened or endangered species should be prepared. Potential adverse impacts as a result of the proposed project include degradation of water quality, loss of wetlands and loss of fish and wildlife habitats. Permanent losses of habitat important to a broad range of fish and wildlife species cannot be viewed favorably by the Wildlife Resources Commission. The loss of wetland resources of this magnitude must be coordinated with regulatory agencies. Therefore, before the WRC can concur with approval of a mining permit, all concerns must be addressed satisfactorily. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. If we can provide further assistance or recommendations, please call on us. RBH/lp cc: The Honorable R.G. Sowers III Mr. Bobby Maddrey Mr. Bennett Wynne . r IR DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT uNn ()I ALi[Y SECTION July 16, 1990 F043RANDUM TO: Tracy Davis 'I1 is Bob Cheek Q +3 L FRAM: Rick Shiver S SUBJ=: Review and Comment Request for Modification Mining Permit No. 65-01 Martin Marietta Aggregates Castle Hayne Quarry New Hanover County As requested, I have reviewed the subject request for modification, and since the packet contained only a map entitled "Amended Mine Map", and none of the basis for the request were included in the packet, this review assumes the following: 1. This request involves a request to,operate the expansion areas as a dewatered quarry; 2. The permittee requests to dewater the expansion area to a depth of about 80 to 100 feet below land surface; 3. The permittee holds a valid NPDES permit to dispose of the wastewater generated as a result of dewatering the expansion area. The comments that I have to offer for your consideration are as follow: 1. Occidental Chemical (formerly Diamond Shamrock) owns and operates a plant to the north of the expansion area. At this plant, OxyChem manufactures solid and liquid chromium chemicals. From 1971 to 1975, liquid chromic acid and sodium bichromate leaked from a underground sump into the subsurface. Since 1975, OxyChem has recovered chromium -contaminated groundwater from both the unconfined and confined aquifer underneath its plant -site, and thus far has been successful in preventing these contaminant plumes from moving off its property boundaries. It is my opinion that, if this request for modification is granted, that the contaminant plume in the confined aquifer will migrate toward and enter the dewatered quarry. There is insufficient information to determine if the contaminant plume in the unconfined aquifer will migrate toward and enter the quarry, but it is a possibility. If the plume(s) migrate off -site in response to quarry dewatering, and chromium -contaminated groundwater enters the quarry, it also is possible that this will result in violations of the conditions specified in the permittee's NPDES permit. 2. It is also likely that quarry dewatering in the expansion area will adversely impact the water supply wells that OxyChem uses to provide its source of process water. As well, it is anticipated that quarry dewatering will impact the one or two water supply wells that are known to be located south of SR1002. 3. As well, there exists a high probability that quarry dewatering will induce sinkhole collapse within an estimated distance of 3000 feet of the active area of quarry dewatering. It is likely that sinkhole collapse will adversely impact the industrial operations at OxyChem, and may pose a public safety threat to the folks who work there. In conclusion, it is recommended that you consider the following suggestions concerning this request for modification: 1. Inform OxyChem that the permittee has requested a modification to mine proximal to OxyChem; 2. Ask the Water Quality Section of the Division of Environmental Management to review this request for modification, given the likelihood that issuance of this request could result in the seepage of chromium -contaminated groundwater into the quarry, in turn which would generate a chromium wastewater that is not authorized for disposal by its present NPDFS permit; 3. Ask NC DOT to review the request to determine impacts on SR1002; 4. Require the permittee to demonstrate to the permitting agency that the issuance of this request will not result in the migration of the chromium plume(s) into the dewatered mine; that dewatering will not adversely impact the process wells at OxyChem; that dewatering will not adversely impact the water supply wells that are located south of SR1002; that dewatering will not result in sinkhole collapse at OxyChem and in and around the entrance road to the quarry and OxyChem, and in and south of SR1002. It is hoped that you find these comments useful. I believe that it is premature to discuss the location of any groundwater monitoring stations, pending your consideration of these comments. In many respects, I believe that the issuance of this request will result in more impacts than we expect to occur around the other nearby quarries for which I have completed reviews. While OxyChem already is in violation of the Classification and Standards Applicable to the Groundwaters in North Carolina (15A NCAC 2L), we are operating under the terms of a Special Order by Consent (SOC). It is likely that the operation of the dewatered quarry will result in worse violations of 2L, thus complicating OxyChem's ability to comply with the standards and its SOC. As always, if you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 256-4161. APH/RSS/lfc cc: David Adkins Bob Jamieson Dan Sams Central Files GWS WiRO N.C.

Jim Simons SUBJECT: Castle Hayne Quarry, Groundwater Infoimation I called flick Shriver, groundwater specialist with DEM, Wilming-ton about the groundwater situation at the Castle Hayne Quarry. Shriver stated that they did not believe that the metallic sludge being deposited in the old pit from Diamond Shamrock "sump pump was toxic. Diamond Shamrock is completing a study to document this. Bill Strictland, Human Resources will review the study. Approximately one million gal/day is pumped from the quarry sump pump. The amount increases during rainfall. The DRI groundwater section conducted a study,of the affects of dewatering and found that dewatering was causing significant drawdown, Martin Marietta has replaced or deepened at least 20 wells. Shriver cautioned that the proposed quarry expansion will likely cause additional drawndown in the populated area along SR 1318 and could cause additional subsidence or sank holes within 3000 feet of the quarry excavation. Additional observation wells are recariended. JDS pg cc: Terry Kraynak SHE ET._Lof! PERSONNEL:_X%,([4z4ct Pi %y�m.

New Hanover Countv (#65-01) I apologize for my lateness in reply. We have reviewed the plan and if the Groundwater Section has no objections based on the further dewatering and the possibility of additional sink hole problems in the surrounding area, we raise no objections to the modification request. However, we need to take this opportunity to stress to them their need for continued reclamation as they proceed and as tactfully as possible point out the need for better reclamation than was done on the early pits on this site. Jones Marl and Sand Company, Onslow County (#67-17) - This one is so late, if you haven't already transfer this pit, be aware we have no objections. Shallornar Estates. McQuaig Mine. Brunswick Countv (#10-16) - This site was in a state of deficiencies when visited earlier this year. We received a complaint from Mr. Bruce Krantz on December 11, 1989. Investigation at the time could not locate Ray' McQuaig. If the tranferee is aware and prepared to correct the current site deficiencies within a tolerable time frame, we have no objections to the transfer. However, he shows reservations correcting Mr. McQuaig's past deficiencies, I would advise postponement of the transfer. Release Request: W. R. Willis Construction Bell Pit Onslow County #67-12 - Enclosed is our inspection report for this site. Vegetation is established and we recommend the bond be release for this pit. Release Request: Maurice Watts, Watts Material & Grading, Pender Coun�i #69-11 - It is our understanding that Mr. Watts has a release request dating back to mid 1989. Enclosed is the most recent inspection report recommending releasing the bond for this pit. Hvdraulic Impact Report for Beachfront Harrison Creek Quarrv. Pender Count #69-15 - While I must defer groundwater matters to the experts in that section, I have noted two problems with the latest incarnation of the dewatering report. First, the wells constructed were lined for the first 21 feet of depth, which would imply to me that the water table aquafer was not tested but the potable water aquafer below it. Since the proposed pit is going to be 30 feet depth wouldn't it be appropriate to test the water table. Second, the proposed "recharge ditches" continue to be located immediately adjacent to the pit. I continue to feel that the "cone of recharge" will intersect the cut walls of the pit creating the potential of long term bank degradation due to the conic infiltration of recharge water. Again, I will yield to greater expertise, if those in Groundwater are convinced the submitted data is a sufficient model, but Rick Shiver has voiced similar concerns, but is asking his Raleigh office to check it.

RECLAMATION CONDITIONS: 1. Provided further, and subject to the Reclamation Schedule, the planned reclamation shall be to allow the quarry excavation to fill with water, provide a permanent barricade (fence) along the top of any highwall, and grade and revegetate any areas in unconsolidated material. 2. The specifications for surface gradient restoration to a surface suitable for the planned future use are as follows: A. All areas of unconsolidated material such as overburden or waste piles shall be graded to a 2 horizontal to I vertical or flatter slope and terraced as necessary to insure slope stability. Page 9 of 9 B. The settling ponds, sediment control basins and pit clarification pond shall be backfilled, graded„ and stabilized or cleaned out and made into acceptable lake areas. C. The processing, stockpile, and other disturbed areas neighboring the mine excavation shall be leveled and smoothed. D. Compacted surfaces shall be disced, subsoiled or otherwise prepared before revegetation. E. No contaminants shall be permanently disposed of at the mine site. On -site disposal of waste shall be in accordance with Operating Condition 12A and B. F. The affected land shall be graded to prevent the collection of noxious or foul water. 3. Revegetation Plan: Following site preparation, disturbed areas not inundated by lakes shall be revegetated in grasses and pine trees. Soil nutrients shall be added according to a soil test. Broadcase a mixture of Sericea Lespedeza (scarified) 40 lbs.; Weeping Lovegrass, 4 lbs. and Common Bermudagrass, (hulled) 5 lbs. per acre during the months of March or April. Immediately after seeding, mulch the side slopes with a suitable material. This mixture will provide a good border of food and cover for wildlife. The grass will become established much quicker if during the establishment period for the first summer,. nitrogen isbroadcast at the rate of 40 lbs. of per acre every 4 weeks until the grass is established. Maintain the stand by fertilizing as recommended by the N. C. Department of Agriculture soil test. 4. Reclamation Plan: Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the extent feasible. In any event, reclamation shall be initiated as soon as feasible after completion or termination of mining of any mine segment under permit. Final reclamation, including revegetation, shall be completed within two years of completion or termination of mining.

Protection of Natural Resources 1. What precautions will be taken during mining operations to prevent significant adverse effects on wildlife, or freshwater, estaurine or marine fisheries? Since hunting was stopped in 1976, the property has become a came preserve, with deer often seen in the quarry and at the plant site. Drainage to Refuse & Clarifications ponds protects river and estuarine fisheries. 2. Is there a waste water discharge from your plant or mine?

Describe methods being taken during mirdng to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling house, public road, public, commercial or industrial building from any mine excavation. A minih= buffer of 200 feet is maintained along Highway 1002. This mi nnimn buffer' will be maintained in the future as the quarry operation approaches property boundaries. 5. Describe measures to be taken during mining to insure against (1) substantial erosion and offsite deposits of sediment (in- clude specific plans for erosion control for mine excavation, waste piles, and process areas), (2) landslides, (3) acid water pollution. 5(1): With the quarry excavation below sea level, 95 percent of the irainage is into the quarry. Only that precipitation falling unthe limited perimeter overburden pile outslopes could in- volve erosion of sediment. As the overburden is sandy clay, it revegetates raoidly. No erosion problem has developed from this minor item. The largest depleted quarry area currently occupies 260 acres. A haul road through this area provides a containment dam for the current Plant Refuse Pond, a feature refuse area, and a final Clarification Pond. Relatively clear water is punped from the refuse pond and quarry dewatering throug�n the Clarification Pond. Acid is added to reduce the pH prior to discharge into the Northeast Cape Fear River. No erosion problems have developed from small stockpile or access areas. 5 (2) The only areas subject to landslides are the deeper clay deposits from which the clay rain material is quarried. Any slide in those areas or a break in pond dikes would be into the belm,7-sea level excavations, and thus iw-ill pose no hazard off -site. 0 APPLICATION] FOR A MINING PERMIT 5 5 (3) As stated under 5 (1), all plant discharge is into a Quarry Refuse Pond. In accordance with water quality requirements, acid is added to reduce the pH of water discharged from the quarry. b. If explosives will be used, describe what precaution will be used to prevent physical hazard to persons or neighboring property by flying rocks or excessive air blasts or ground vibrations. Minor blasting is used to break up a more dense top layer of the limestone, three to five feet thick, designated as "cap rock." Normal blasting precautions are rigidly enforced. The use of delay blasting technique in the below -horizon location, and distance from neighboring property has controlled blasting hazards well within normal limits. Air blast is mitigated by blasting only during favorable weather conditions and by maintaining a pine tree screen. RECLAMATION PLAN 1. Describe your intended plan for the.reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the general methods to be used in reclaiming this land. Ideal's Castle Hayne cent plant major raw materials (clay & limestone) are quarried from adjacent fee simple property. Operation was started in 1963. An additional 30 years reserve of these materials are present on the 2,060-acre area between Highway 1002 and the Northeast Cape Fear river (marked map ccc-1377 shows the east portion of this area). Reserves on Ideal property south of the highway will be more thorough- ly delineated in the future. Clay which overlies the limestone is extracted from lenses where the thickness or depth exceeds five (5) feet. Other areas where the clay is too thin or sandy for use are designated as overburden and stripped by dragline to worked -out limestone areas where possible. Some of the initial perimeter cuts require overburden to be piled outward. Az explained under 5(1) of this application, about 160 acres of depleted quarry (nearest to the plant) are used as refuse and clarification ponds. This use will continue for several years until the volume of fill requires the ponds to be moved to more distant depleted quarry locations. The higher elevations of these ponds ,v-ill eventually be reclaimed by spreading perimeter overburden piles back as topsoil cover. All elevations below the natal drainage level will become lake areas when dewatering ceases. The Refuse Pond solids become wre stable than the original ground surface when allo:,,ed to dry. These solids have been, and will continue to be used, for road base and dam fill. The east --west haul road through the above des- ribed Refuse Ponds will remain for future use when reserves to the east are RECLAMATION PLAN quarried. This road will be raised in successive lifts as necessary to eventually be above the natural drainage elevation. Prior to -excavation, the surface consisted of swamp and timberland. Ideal favors reestablishment of trees, where applicable, as grass areas would be difficult to utilize while excavation proceeds nearby. Experience has indicated that erosion is not a problem an overburden piles and any lush grass growth is of a negative value due to the fire hazard. It is felt the operation is being conducted in such a manner as to have K a minirrn mi effect on wildlife, fresh water, estuarine or marine fisheries. Trees are not cleared from, new quarry areas until necessary. In view of operation methods and reclamation plans as e-%-plained above, Ideal feels any areas available for permanent reclamation during the next ten (10) years will be limited to small areas. Thus, there is no change in the reclamation plan as advanced in 1972 in the original permit application. The original application outlined 53 acres of pre -law disturbed area outlined in yellow on map xcc-1259. The area east of the plant and south of the river (currently 30 acres) has been covered with topsoil and has revegetated. A new water course to the river was provided through this area and some is currently designated as Plant Operating Area. A nine (9) acre dump area west of the plant is outlined on the ed,e of the current map ccc--1377. This nine acres has revegetated quite well, but no special reclamation was done, as this location will be quarried in the future. r RECLAMATION'PLAN 93 2. In excavation of unconsolidated materials, describe what measures v7ill be taken to -insure protection of adjacent resources such as width of buffer zone and grade of slope, etc. As stated under 4, a 200-ft. mirdmm buffer zone from Highway 1002 and property boundaries will be maintained. Unconsolidated materials, clay and overburden, will normally not be excavated deeper than 15-18 feet, as limestone underlying thicker overburden, thins, and is not economical to quarry. The maxi mt grade of final slopes in unconsolidated mate- rial will be 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical. Such final grades would not be within the 200-ft. minimum buffer zone. 3. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all comleted excavations in rock. Because of overburden placed in worked --out quarry cuts and refuse ponds, as previously explained, it is not anticipated any such hazards will e)dst prior to August 21, 1992 (eViration date of this permit renewal) . If, after that, it is desirable to leave excavated highwalls in lime- stone, they would definitely be well beyond 5--foot wading depth of lakes left after reclamation. 4. Indicate method of reclamation of overburden, refuse, spoil banks or other such mine waste areas. Please see Reclamation Plan, Item 1. 5. State :-hat precautions will be taken in reclamation to insure that the reclaimed site is not detrimental to animal or fish life. Information under Item 3 will apply to animal life. Experience with lake areas in other Ideal limestone quarries indicates waters in lakes created by reclamation soon stabilizes with a pH below 9.5. Final reclamation to lakes appears to be later than the 10-year life of this 6 permit at the Castle Layne quarry. RECLAPWTION PLAN --IDEAL 4 6. Describe plans, if any, for screening operations from public view. A study of 1980 aerial photography indicates planting of pine in certain areas is desirable to provide adequate screening from Highway 1002. This will be accomplished during the 1932-33 planting season. 7. State the method of rehabilitation of settling ponds. Please refer to Reclamation Plan, - Item 1_ 3. State the method of control of contaminants and disposal of mining refuse (note definition of refuse in The Mining Act of 1971): As previously described, refuse ponds in the Castle Mayne Cement plant quarry do not involve the control of materials directly con- nected with processing of the substances mined. Solid materials from the plant to the refuse ponds are from plant cleanup and the electrical Precipitator catch from the kiln combustion gases. The electrical precipitator catch is not classified as a hazardous waste by the EPA. 9. Indicate the method of restoration or establishment of any drainage channels to a condition mixdzdzing erosion, siltation and other pol- lution: Items S (1) , (2) , and (3) explain conditions that minimize erosion - Siltation -and other pollution is controlled in the refuse and clarifi- cation ponds. 10. Describe provisions for prevention of noxious, odious or foul water collecting or remaining in mined areas. No odious, odious or foul Trater has been encountered in past operations, possibly due to the active pumping of water from the below sea level ponds and quarry. Foul water is not e>mected in the reclaimed Lake areas due to the presence of limestone. 11. Describe how the surface gradient in unconsolidated materials will be restored to a condition suitable for the proposed subsequent use of the lard after reclamation is completed and proposed method of acco.mlisly.rent: (5_ading and surface gradient have been described in the Reclam3ti.on Plan, lte?.s 1 rnd 2. RECLA14ATION PLAN --IDEAL 12. Describe your plan for revegetation or other surface treatment of the affected areas: NOTE: Revegetation Plan must be approved by one of the following: (a) Authorized representatives of the local Soil and Water Conserva- tion District having jurisdiction over lands in question; (b) Authorized representatives of the Office of Forest Resources, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development; (c) Country Agricultural Extension chairmen or Research and Extension personnel headquartered at North Carolina State University in the School of Agriculture and life Sciences; (d) North Carolina licensed landscape architects; (e)- Private consulting foresters referred by the Office of Forest Resources, Department of Natural Resources and Community De- velopment; (f) Others as may be approved by the Department, 5 Under the previous 1972-1982 permit No.'65-3, a definite revegetation plan was not considered applicable due to the special conditions of the Castle Hayne plant quarry which -allow no concurrent or early permanent reclamation. These conditions will continue for another 10 years, as explained under the Reclamation Plan. Ideal is in favor of adequate reclamation and will seek the assistance of agencies active in surface treatment and revegetation of affected areas when reclamation can proceed at the subject quarry operation.

I appreciate your assistance along with Dean Hardy and Carol Cameron as well as Butch Barnhardt at the Castle Hayne Quarry and Jodie Mood at Rocky Point. I found your reclamation efforts to be very successful at Castle,Hayne and recommend that you continue using the same seeding specifications in future stabilization of mined over areas. The grading and ground preparation for seeding I observed to be adequate and commend Dean Hardy and Butch Barnhardt for a job well done at Castle Hayne. The Rocky Point site was also found to be in good shape and I would like to commend Jodie Wood in his efforts at reclamation proceedings simultaneously with mining. It goes without saying that reclamation and good conservation practices were observed at both your Castle Hayne and Rocky Point sites. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Gerald J.

Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Subject: Request for Permit Transfer LAND QUALITY SECTION Permit 065-3 Ideal Basic Industries - Marl Mine New Hanover County Dear Mr. Simons: Martin Marietta plans to remove marine limestone from the pit currently owned by Ideal Basic Industries and covered under permit 865-3. Mining will be from an average depth of -35 MSL to - 55 MSL. Overburden will be returned to the mined out slots as pit development progresses. Most of the mining will occur in the existing marl pit area. Mining in new pit areas is not anticipated for several years. The existing Martin Marietta limestone mine, covered under permit 565-1, will be abandoned and allowed to fill with water. Due to the more isolated location of the Ideal pit, the effect on residential wells is expected to be completely eliminated. In accordance with the above planned action, Martin Marietta agrees to assume the duties of subject permit for the area noted on the attached mine map which shows the present affected area and the property boundaries that will be under Martin Marietta's control. We trust that the information provided above and the attachments are adequate for your review. Please give me a call if there are any questions or the need for additional information.

While preparing this report, we noted some errors on our drawing ccc-1377c submitted with our application for Permit 65-3 (1982-1992). Therefore, we are also enclosing correctedcopies of this drawing ccc-1377c, Rev. A, and corrected copy of our application for your use and infarmation. The adjustnents and corrections are as follows: a. Refuse and Clarification Pond 1 area was understated 35 acres. b. Cement plant and associated roads, stockpiles, etc. was ad- justed from 130 acres to 121 acres. c. On, drawing cdc=1377c, the old quarry area and overburden areas in the quarry 1982-1992 were designated incorrectly in the legend. The overburden area is not perimeter overburden and the old quarry is not area quarried with overburden above pond levels. d. In the process of transferring quarry area from mines to tailing ponds over several years of operation, an adjustment of about -41 acres is needed to reconcile the total acreage.

Describe measures to be taken to insure against (1) substantial deposits of sediment in stream beds or lakes, (2) landslides, (3) acid water pollution- (1) Permit No. 2114 from the State of North Carolina, Department of Water and Air Resources was issued July 26, 1971 for a 16-acre solids settling pond located in worked out quarry area. This settling pond will soon be expanded to 29 acres and further expansion to about 90 acres is expected during the 10-year permit period. Any break in the settling pond retaining structure would flood into the quarry rather than involve streams in the area. (2) Clay is the only type of material that tends to slide and this area is at least I mile from existing streams. (3) Acid water is not possible in limestone areas and no acid water is involved in the cement plant operation. 3 � f t � e � -, y � + � S ,.�� Reclamation Flan 1. Describe your intended plan for the reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the general methods to be used in recEaiming this land. *(Rev. 5/22/72) Ideal's Cement Plant major raw materials are obtained from adjacent owned property. Operation was started in 1963. Proven reserves exceed 50 years supply for the 2060-acre area located north of Highway 1002. The calcareous component comes from limestone beds of varying thickness (0-44 Ft.) lying below natural sand, sandy clay, and/or clay which is mostly overburden. The clay or argillaceous component is extracted from areas where clay lies in lenses thicker than 5 feet. The overburden is stripped by dragline and placed in worked out limestone areas where possible. Some of the perimeter overburden piles will require rehandling as the quarry is expanded and recovery of the underlying limestone is justified. *Overburden material readily supports vegetation without special. treatment. The quarry operation and long range reclamation plan appear to be in harmony with the intent of the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 "Findings" and "Purposes" as given in Sections 2 and 3 of the Act. An original problem was eliminated when a worked out portion of the quarry was avai.l.able as a settling pond to handle all plant process and washup discharge. The basic fact that the quarry excavation is below natural drainage, limits eventual reclamation to a lake area. Settling pond area will be expanded as additional portions of the derleted limestone excavation can be converted to that use. Future lake perimeter overburden will be placed to eliminate peaks, and ridges will be partially rounded to insure stability and support temporary natural revegetation. The long range plan logically relies on this material as cover for vegetation purposes on portions of settling pond solids which will be- come an eventual surface at elevations above the permanent lake level. The settling pond solids become more stable than normal ground surface, and are used for dam and road -fill material, a; needed. When the southeast quarry is delted, in about 20 years, and pumping stopped, the entire excavation will be available as a settling pond that would function=as long as the Castle Hayne plant is operated. Reclamation Plan la (question 1 continued) Prior to excavation, the surface consisted of swamp and timberland. Ideal favors reestablishment of trees where applicable,as grass areas would be most difficult to utilize while excavation proceeds nearby. Experience has indicated that erosion is not a problem on overburden Piles and any lush grass growth is of negative value due to the fire hazard. It is felt the operation is being conducted in such a manner as to have a minimum effect on wildlife, fresh- water, estuarine or marine fisheries. Trees are not cleared from new quarry areas until necessary, no streams are to be disturbed and no'water polution problems are evident in the pumping of clear, unpoluted water from the quarry. Overflow from the settling pond is to the quarry. In view of operation methods and reclamation plans as explained above, Ideal does not feel any areas will be available for permanent reclamation in accordance .�iith the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971, during this initial 1 O- year •pe rm i t period. la Reclamation Plan 2. Indicate what practices you will take to protect adjacent surface resources. Adjacent surface resources consist of timber lands mostly owned by Ideal Cement Company. Trees are allowed to remain until necessary to clear for advancing quarry operations. See Mining Permit application item C4 for operation within 300 feet of State Highway 1002. 3. State the method of prevention or elimination of conditions that will be hazardous to animal or fish life in or adjacent to the affected areas: No such hazardous conditions are known. 4. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all excavations in rock. Quarry excavation operations comply with all Federal, State, and local rules and regulations including the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, State inspection and suggested rules of the Portland Cement Association. 5. Describe plans, if any, for screening operations from public view. Current quarry operation is screened from Highway 1002 now. Planting of Pine seedlings north of Highway 1002 will improve this screening as quarry operations approach this highway. 6. State the method of rehabiLi.tation of settling ponds if to be reclaimed during the life of the permit. No settling pond area will be compplete during the 10-year permit period. As explained under C4, the settling pond area will be increased in size as additional worked out quarry is available. If, after many years,the settled solids rise above the eventual lake level, the area will be covered with surrounding waste piles prior to reclamation plantings. 2 t +. - � � � t .. � � 1 .. a`. _ I .. 1 � _ i � �— i , i i � � � 1 -Reclamation Plan* (Rev. 5/22/72) 7, State the method of control. of contaminants and disposal of mining refuse: There are no,contaminants or mine refuse. Quarry area overburden or waste piles consists of sandy clay which readily supports natural revegetation. Settling pond material will require topping with overburden to promote early revegetation. 8. Indicate the method of restoration or establishment of stream channels and stream beds to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution: * No stream channels will be disturbed. No erosion, siltation, or other pollution of stream channels is anticipated. 9. Describe provisions for prevention of noxious, odious or foul water collecting or remaining in mined areas. Water areas will be maintained at sufficient depth or drainage will be provided. The sandy surface material, ample rainfall, and the sizeable quantities of water pumped from the quarry tend to eliminate any foul water collection problems. la. Describe how the surface gradient in unconsolidated materials will be re- stored to a condition suitabLe for the proposed subsequent use of the land after reclamation is completed and proposed method of accomplishment: Shorelines of the eventual lake, will be sloped 12 horizontal to 1 vertical or more gentle dependent upon the indicated use of the lake at that time. Further indication on use of the lake appears to be only speculation at this time. See Reclamation question No. 1 for further explanation. 3 ' rini-.lu l'�, Reclamation Plan * (Rev. 5/22/72) 11. Describe your plan for revegetation or other surface treatment of the affected areas. Note requirement of Regulation Dumber 1. * No problems are anticipated to revegetate future lake shore- lines as the overburden materials consist of sand and clay with no question as to their suitability to support vegetation. All acreages reported under B2 will be active, subject to future disturbance or operation use for the requested 10-year permit period. See further detailed explanation of the reclamation plan given under question 1. No permanent reclamation work is considered practical during this first 10- yea r permit period. Ideal plans to reclaim the 53., acres listed as inactive affected area, reported disturbed and inactive prior to the effective date of the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971. Some of this work has already started and the solid waste disposal portion will be conducted as experimental work.

C. 28429 Subjects Reclamation Plan Dear Mr. Andrewss I have the following suggestions for stabilizing the area of side slopes along the edge of the pit as pointed out on my visit to the site on 5-11-72. Even though there are only about 1000 feet Involved at this time, the some method would work for the remaining areas when It Is feasible to stabilize them. Reshape the slope to approximately 1J to 1, In this case It can be done by working the loose spoil from the adjoln- Ing overburden pile over the edge to a self obtained slope. Fertilize according to soil test recommended by the N. C. Department of Agriculture. . dcast e mixture of Serlcea Leapedeza (scarified) 40 bs,l Weeping Lovegrass, 4 lbs. and Common Bermudagrass, Alhulled) 5 lbs. per acre during the months of March or April. Immediately after seeding, mulch the side slopes with a suitable material. This mixture will provide a good border of food and cover for wildlife. The grass will become established much quicker if during the establishment period for the first summer, nitrogen is broadcast at the rate of 40 lbs. of N per acre every 4weeks until the grass is established. Maintain the stand by fertilizing as recom- mended by the N, C, Department of Agriculture soil tea t� Additional screening Is needed along N. C, secondary road 1002, This can be accomplished with 4 rows of loblolly pine set about six feet apart in the rows with the rows ten feet apart. One row of Glossy Privet in front of the . pines will provide a tight screen after the pines are up where you can see through them. Set the privet plants about.. 6 to 8 feet sport.

As you might imagine, clarifications andamendments have been made to The Mining Act of 1971 and to mining permits since the initial issuing of permits in 1972. I am enclosing a copy of the recently amended Mining Act. The permitting regulations are subject to change due to the 1981 amendments (also enclosed). To answer your specific questions on set backs, no statutory limit has been set. Each permit is evaluated individually. However, I can give you these guidelines on set backs: 1. Rivers, streams, other watercourses or wetlands - set back must be sufficient to prevent encroachment of the integrity of the watercourse and to prevent offsite sedimentation into the watercourse. A minimum of 50 foot wide buffer has been required in some cases, but each site must be evaluated. Property lines -buffer from excavation should be adequate to allow grading of the required slope (normally 3 horizontal to 1 vertical in coastal sands) with a reasonable buffer left.

These areas were not seeded as they are not considered to be final graded or continue as roadway or operating area. Continuing deposit of precipitator refuse will eventually fill portions of the below natural drainage quarry created by recmval of clay and limestone. Overburden spoil can then be spread as soil prior to seeding. As the volume of clay and limestone exceeds refuse somie areas can only become future lakes as previously reported. Areas where limestone will be remnved during the next few years (an average of about 12 acres per year) will be frmm acres previously affected by clay rearwal or roadway.

Describe reclamation carried out in last 12 months. All affected land is active or will become future clarification ponds. As previously reported, the Castle Hayne quarry will.remain active for several years before it will be practical to isolate any areas for per- manent reclamation. 7. Comments: The Castle Hayne quarry was photographed in March 1977 for mapping purposes. Attached is Map No. xec-1377 with affected lands outlined by color code to indicate current _Item 2 designations:. Item 2(:ti) (130 'acres: current total) includes 30 acres of active roads and drainage ditches not outlined in blue on the map. This 130-acre affected area includes plant operations, active stockpiling, roads, drainage ditches, etc. not otherwise designated. Only 2 acres, is estimated "new acreage to be affected during the next 12 months" as limestone removal will likely be limited to areas previously disturbed to remove clay. About 50'acresof limestone remains under and adjacent to the 28 acres marked as "to be.quarried starting in 1978." It is evident quarry operation priorto1982 will not involve as much of the area estimated as previously marked on map xec-1259. Some of this is due to a decision to open the :eouthwesterly quarry not anticipated in 1972• Please note on drawing ace-1377, all elevations preceded by (-) are below sea level: Signature of person responsible for reclamation Title rc09NA1:10Z Date 9• Complete and return to: Mining Division Department of Natural & Economic Resources P. 0.

O. Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina Attention: Mr. Gerald J. Kraynak Dear Mr. Kraynak: The opportunity to visit with you during your recent inspection of Ideals Castle Hayne quarry and discuss reclamation plans appear to have been beneficial to both parties. Your favorable comments concerning the manner in which our -application for mining permit was prepared, is appreciated. Ideal favors practical environmental considerations and finds it's long- term mining operations in relatively small isolated areas to be generally compatable with the principals of regulation by governmental units. The wording of North Carolina's Act is especially commendable as given under Section 2, "Findings" and Section 3, "Purposes". The principles brought out by these sections and early reclamation efforts discussed with you, seem to involve interim or temporary work. Usefullness and productivity of any temporary reclamation would be some different than eventual permanent work. Ideal's Central Exploration Department is instrumental in coordination of basic operation methods and compliance with reclamation regulations. This Department has reviewed the application and reclamation plan changes dis- cussed with you. - - x Application item C-1 has been altered by reference to revisions in reclamation plant questions 1, 8, 10, and 11 changes. These changes give more detailed information on the unusual operation, long range re- clamation plan, and statements as you indicated desirable. Past experience seems to verify the disadvantages of disturbing the natural revegetation on old overburden piles for elaborate grass plantings that would involve more of a fire hazard on temporary slopes. Attached is a recommended plan from the local Soil Conservation Service, which appears to be satisfactory for eventual permanent reclamation. , This type of detailed specifications would be most applicable if reviewed in the light of conditions and use at the time permanent reclamation is to be accomplished. Ideal looks forward to working with the Mining Division and other groups of the Earth Resources Department on any problems that should develop.

Full evaluation of this information may require slight re- vision of the 10-year future quarry expansion shown on Map xcc-1259. Map xcc-1259 (Rev. G) as submitted in 1972 remains appli- cable to the attached report for the period ending August 21, 1973. Limestone excavation was principally from the area centered at coordinates 106,500 N-S, and 57,500 E-W. Clay excavation advanced into the area centered 103,500 N-S and 59,400 E-W. A small limestone stockpile addition to previously reported plant operating area is near coordinates 105,400 N-S and 54,750 -W. Extra clay stockpiling has been found con- venient near 105,500 N-S and 55,600 E-W. These comprise the 3 acres of new stockpiles reported. Compliance experience with Mined Land Reclamation regula- tions in North Carolina and other states has promoted better techniques, coordination, and planning of operation that will contribute to the overall economy of reclamation goals.

See B-2. (4) 2. Summary of present and proposed conservation and land reclamation plans and procedures, if any - Quarrying to date has been to open and establish method of operation. Mining has now reached the sta e where future stripping (approx. 1 to 3 ratio}g can be deposited in worked -out areas. Due to elevation of deposit below thelevel of streams and rivers, primary rehabilitation will be to 'a useful lake, with grading of the peri- meter and islands to provide a gently rolling topography free from stagnant water areas. Attention will be given to encourage vegetation growth, fish and wildlife protection. Entire quarry is active in that extent of de- posit has not been reached in any direction. Operation will continue for several years be- fore any worked -out areas can be isolated to the point that pumping of those areas can be discontinued and rehabilitation completed. J� C. Maps 1.

This permit is expressly conditioned upon compliance with all the requirements of the approved Reclmation Plan. However, completed performance of the approved Reclamation Plan is a separable obligation, secured by the bond or other security on file with the Department, and may survive the expiration, revocation or suspension of this permit. This permit is not transferable by the permittee with the following exception: If another operator succeeds to the interest of the permittee in the permitted mining operation, by virtue of a sale, lease, assignment or otherwise,the Department may release the permittee from the duties imposed upon him by the conditions of his permit and by the Mining Act with reference to the permitted operation, and transfer the permit to the successor operator, provided that both operators have complied with the requirements of the Mining Act and that the successor operator agrees to assume the duties of the permittee with reference to reclamation of the affected land and posts a suitable bond or other security. In the event that the Department determines that the permittee or'permittee's successor is not complying with the Reclamation Plan or other terms and con- ditions of this permit, or is failing to achieve the purposes and requirements of the Mining Act, the Department may give the operator written notice of its intent to modify, revoke or suspend the permit, or its intent to modify the Reclamation Plan as incorporated in the permit. The operator shall have right to a hearing at a designated time and place on any proposed modification, revocation or suspension by the Department. Alternatively and in addition to the above, the Department may institute other enforcement procedures authorized by law. Definitions Wherever used or referred to in this permit, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms shall have the same meaning as supplied by the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-49. rn"ditinnc The permitted mining operation shall not violate standards of air quality, surface water quality, or ground water quality promulgated by the Environmental Management Commission. This permit shall be effective from the date of its issuance until July 20, 1992 and shall be subject to the provisions of the Mining Act, N.C.G.S. 74-46, et. seq., and to the following conditions and limitations: 3 of 6 OPERATING CONDITIONS This permit represents a renewal of permit no. 65-1 originally issued on July 20, 1972. The permit area is amended to include the approximately 1 84. acres north of the Ideal Cement Spur of the Seaboard Coastline, east of the proposed right-of-way of Interstate Highway 40 and south of S.R. 1002. I. Any wastewater processing or mine dewatering shall be in accordance with permit requirements and regulations promulgated by the Division of Environmental Management. 2. Any mining process producing air contaminant emissions shall be subject to the permitting requirements and regulations promulgated by the Division of Environmental Management. 3. Sufficient buffer shall be maintained between any affected land and any adjoining waterway to prevent sedimentation of that waterway from erosion of the affected land and to preserve the integrity of the natural watercourse. 4. Adequate mechanical barriers including but not limited to diversions, earthern dikes, brush barriers, silt check dams, silt retarding structures, rip rap pits, or ditches shall be provided in the initial stages of any land disturbance to prevent sediment from discharging onto adjacent surface areas or into any lake or natural watercourse in proximity to the affected land. 5. The angle for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle which can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control measure, structure or device. In Any event, exposed slopes or any excavated channels, the erosion of which may cause offsite damage due to siltation, shall be planted or otherwise provided with ground cover, devices or structures sufficient to restrain such erosion. 6. The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools of water that are, or are likely to become, noxious or foul. Necessary structures such as drainage ditches or conduits shall be constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions. 7. The following blasting conditions shall be observed by the operator to prevent hazard to persons and adjacent property from thrown rock or vibrations: A. In all blasting operations, except as hereinafter otherwise provided, the maximum peak particle velocity of any component of ground motion shall not exceed 1 inch per second at the immediate location of any building regularly occupied by human beings such as dwelling house, church, school, public building, or commercial or institutional building. B. Airblast overpressure shall not exceed 123 decibels linear (dBL)-"warning," 132 dBL "caution," and 135 dBL "maximum" as d 4OF6 measured at the immdiate location of any regularly occupied building such as any dwelling house, church, school, public building, or commercial or institutional building. C. The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to insure that flyrock is not thrown beyond areas where the access is temporarily or permanently guarded by the operator. Should flyrock occur beyond the guarded area, it shall be reported to the Department immediately, who will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause. Failure to take corrective measures to prevent flyrock and repeated instances%of .flyrock shall be considered a violation of the permit. D. Operator shall maintain records on each individual blast describing the total number of holes; pattern of holes; depth of holes; total pounds of explosives; maximum pounds per delay interval; amunt of steaming and burden for each hole; and blast location. Records shall be maintained at the permittee's mine office and copies shall be provided to the Department upon request. E. Operator shall, when requested by the Department, give 24 hour advance notice to the Land Quality Section prior to any blast during a period for which notice is requested. 8. A buffer strip 200 feet wide or wider shall be maintained between the top edge of any mine excavation and the highway right -of. -way of State Road 1.002. The buffer strip may either be tuidisturbed utilizing existing trees and vegetation for visual screening or may be a combination of an earthen berm and undisturbed buffer. If an earthen berm is used, the sideslopes of 'the berm shall be graded to a S hori..,ontal to 1 vertical slope or flatter. The toe of the berm shall be at least 50 feet from the right-of-way line; for State Road 1002. The berm shall be seeded in appropriate trees and grasses during the earliest favorable planting season after construction for stability and visual screening. The 50 foot buffer between the toe and the highway right--of-way shall remain undisturbed except to install any required sediment control measures for the berm or to improve visual screening. 9. Observation wells shall be installed and monitored as approved by the Department. 10. A physical barrier consisting of a :fence or boulder barriers, etc., small be maintained around the perimeter of any quarry highwall. 1.1. An Annual Reelarmition Report shall be submitted on a form supplied by the Department on February 1 of Each year until reclamation is completed and approved. 12. The security which was posted pursuant to N.C.G.S. 74-54 in the fom of $25,000 blanket bond is sufficient to cover the Castle ifayne Quarry operation as indicated on the approved application. This security must remain in force for this permit to be valid. The total affected land shall not exceed the bonded acreage. APPRDVED RECLAMATION PLAN The Mining Permit incorporates this Reclamation Plan, the performance of which is a condition on the continuing validity of that Mining Permit. 5 of 6 Additionally, the Reclamation Plan is a separable obligation of the permittee, which continues beyond the term of the Mining Permit. The approved plan provides: Minimum Standards As Provided by G. S. 74-53 1. The final slopes in all excavations in soil, sand, gravel and other unconsolidated materials shall be at such an angle as to minimize the possibility of slides and be consistent with the future use of the land. 2. Provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property must be provided in all excavations in rock. 3. All overburden and spoil shall be left in a configuration which is in accordance with accepted conservation practices and which is suit- able for the proposed subsequent use of the land. 4. No small pools of water shall be allowed to collect or remain on the mined area that are, or are likely to become noxious, odious or foul. 5. The revegetation plan shall conform to accepted and recommended agronomic and reforestation practices as established by the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station and the N. C. Forest Service. 6. Permittee shall conduct reclamation activities pursuant to the Reclamation Plan herein incorporated.

BOX 30013 PALEnH, N.C_ 27622-0013 TELEPHONE 191% 781-4550 RECEIVED APR '4 7 1990 LAMP 011AL.IIY SECTION Following up on your request of last week that we provide you with a history of pit #1 down at our Castle Hayne Quarry, we are obliged to provide the following information. Prior to 1980, Diamond Shamrock was discharging its waste material into pit Ill. At that time Martin Marietta was also adding its limestone fines to the same pit. Diamond Shamrock (predecessor to Occidental Chemical) has installed a total of 15 test wells around the pit area. It is our understanding that the wells are sampled once each week for chloride concentration and chrome content. The sludge is insoluble in water and will not leach. We believe the pH is between 6.0 and 8.5. All appropriate agency approvals are in force, and as far as we know all sampling has been within the limits of 500 parts per million or less of chloride. An inspection by Land Quality Section on June 7, 1983 noted that the area surrounding the flooded pit had been seeded and stabilized. In July of 1986 we requested that flooded pits numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 be released from our reclamation bond. In February of 1990 the Division of Land Resources submitted a letter noting that pits numbers 2, 3, and the surrounding area of pit #4 were found to be satisfactorily reclaimed and the company was then released from further reclamation responsibilities for these areas. Pit #1 could not be released at that time since it is currently being used by Occidental Chemical for the discharge of their waste materials. In July of 1989 Martin Marietta discontinued any discharge into pit #1. Martin Marietta has not since that date and will not at any time in the future discharge its limestone fines or any other materials into pit #1. In 1982 Martin Marietta sold pit #1 to Occidental Chemical. Fart of the sales agreement was that Martin Marietta be allowed to continue to discharge its limestone fines into pit #1. As mentioned above we did exactly that until July of 1999. Mr. Tracy E. Davis April 25, 1990 Page 2 As we mentioned in our discussion the other day we are interested in completing our reclamation responsibilities for pit #1. We do not own that pit nor do we discharge anything into it, and we are interested in finding out what we need to do in order to complete our obligation. We would appreciate your discussing this with Mr. Telfer and then letting us know when you and Mr. Telfer might be available for a meeting. l am copying Occidental with this letter and have suggested to them that maybe they would like to be present at this meeting also. We look forward to hearing from you at your early convenience. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to advise. Sincerely, R. Paxton Badham, Jr. RPB,J r/oe cc: Bruce Deerson W.

Present were Mike Jones and 1 from Martin Marietta with Charles Gardner and Tom Carroll from your staff. As you recall, we were reviewing the reclamation work that has been accomplished around pits #1, #2, #3 and #4. The main focus of the meeting centered on the treatment of pit #4 which is still active as a disposal area for our sand washing operation. It was agreed that the area around Pit #4 has been successfully reclaimed and is ready for release subject to our forwarding a map outlining the area that would remain active. Attached for your review is a survey map provided by Whitt Land Surveying outlining the 81.9 acres that would remain active. With the exception of the above surveyed area, we would like to request that the remaining acreage in and around Pits #1, #2, #3 and 114 be released.

Natural drainage channel at SW corner. - minor bank erosion on repaired channel - wax myrtles and willows plant-od along stream channel should do ths job on longterm basis but additional. willow stakings are needed on 4 x 4 spacing.

One. area on western slope of gut (inlet) was not mulched - all vegetation is very sparse and gullies developing. Needs to be mulched heavily and topdressed.

Martin, Governor October 9, 1987 Stephen G. Conrad S. Thomas Rhodes, Secretary Director Mr. Dean Hardy Area Production Manager Martin -Marietta Aggregates P.O. Box 398 Castle Hayne, Korth Carolina 28429 RE*. Castle Hayne Quarry Pender County Dear Mr. Hardy: As you remember, a meeting was held at the Castle Hayne Quarry in mid July to discuss what remaining reclamation work was needed in Mine Areas 2, 3 and 4 prior to their being released from further reclamation responsibility with respect to the Mining Act of 1971. Past reclamation efforts were reviewed and areas needing further work were identified. Specific recommendations were made at the site concerning the means to correct the problems noted. A copy of my rough notes on our findings were left with you at the end of the meeting. The following is'an itemized list of the areas in need of additional work. MINE AREA 3: 1. Topdress, reseed and mulch the previous repair work at the extreme northwest pit corner. A rip/rap channel to convey runoff down slope into the lake area is needed. 2. The spatial relationship of the railroad right-of-way to the existing southern pit boundary must be identified. 3. The pit slopes immediately north of the railroad must be provided with a permanent groundcover sufficient to restrain erosion. Several sections of these slopes are severely under cut and will have to be regraded in order to establish a groundcover. Diversions should be provided at the top of these slopes to direct runoff to stable drop inlets. For those slopes that can not be regraded to an angle which a permanent vegetative cover can be established because of their proximity to railroad right-of-way, the use of mechanical methods of slopes stabilization should be explored. The slopes along the southern pit boundary immediately north of the railroad line must be permanently stabilized before they can be favorably considered for release. PO Boot 27687, Rakigh, North Carolina 27611-7697 Tckphone 919-733-3833 An Equal Opportunity Af inr nw Action Employer Mr. Hardy October 9, 1987 Page 2 MINE AREA 4• 1. The highvall area at the west-southwest pit corner must be .eliminated. Reclamation Condition No. 2B of your mining permit calls for elopes down to water lines to be 3:1 or flatter. 2. Slopes on the east and vest sides of the drainage channel entering the lake area at the southwest comer must be graded to as .angle that a permanent vegetative ground cover can be established on and than revegetated. 3. A rip -rap channel is needed at the south-southeast comer to convey surface runoff originating south of the pit into the lake area. Previous attempts - to repair this area have met with limited success. The area needs ,to be regraded providing terraces to direct runoff into the channel instead of allowing it to travel the entire length of the cut slope. 4. Perimeter elopes around the entire lake area are generally 3:1 or flatter except for the last 20-30 feet or more directly above the waterline which is often 1:1 or steeper. Reclamation Condition No. 2B of your mining permit requires that slopes above the waterline shall be 3:1 or flatter. This requirement stems, in part, from public safety considerations and the need to provide access to the lake area for wildlife and recreational purposes. In light of the considerable efforts put forth thus far in trying to reclaim these slopes and the safety problems you stated that were encountered when conducting this work, it was suggested that you provide this office with a map illustrating selected sections around the lake area that can be realoped to the required angle. Upon of review of this map you will be advised as to the acceptability of the proposal. 5. The roadway (and ditchlines) traversing the northern portion of the area must be stabilized. It 1s highly recommended that a(heavy �be used immediately following reseeding in the repair areas outlined above. I believe you will find that the additional initial expense involved in using a mulch will be very cost effective over time. Also, a filter fabric or washed atone (No. 57) liningshouldbe placed under the rip/rap channels to prevent scouring of the natural ground. Should you have any questions on any of the above please advise at (919) 733-4574. Sincerely, ThU"s ✓� omas'E. Carroll, Y.E. Mining Specialist TEC/sl cc: Mr. Dan Sams, P.E.

The following are my comments concerning that review. Site #1 - Area is under active mining operations and can not be released at this time. Site #2 - Additional work has to be done to get final stabilization and Martin Marietta indicates they will submit for release at a later time. Work to be done includes minor regrading of spoil piles and vegetation. Site #3 - Vegetation is very good over entire area except an area adjacent to the water line along the interior island. There exist along the island shoreline an approximately 10 foot 1:1 or steeper slope without vegetation. This highwall may not be serious as it is accessible only by boat from adjoining property. There is one large gully located at the northwest corner of the pond that should be repaired and stabilized before release is granted. I would suggest that markers be erected at the eastern water line of the pond in this site to delineate areas released for site 3 from areas in Site 2. Site 3 would be from the markers westward to I-40 as shown on the attached. Site #4 - The locations which have problems are numbered and referenced on the attached drawing. t AREA (1): A highwall existing in this area must be eliminated. A large gully must also be repaired. AREA (2): Insufficient ground cover exist along the slopes of this area and a highwall. approximately 10 feet high exist along the water line. Permit calls for a minimum 3:1 slopes according to Jim Simons. AREA (3): Small highwall condition exist in this area. AREA (G): Large gullies and an area approximately 50 feet wide exist without vegetative cover. r�G-„ Vf AREA (5): The area north of the pond (site 4) has very little permanent vegetation. The small grain is basically all that exist with very sparse signs of lespedeza survival. Small to large gullies have begun to appear on the northern slopes of this area with a large gully problem existing `� along the access road parallel to the railroad tracks. Gully areas are indicated in red on the attached map. The entire northern shoreline of the pond in this site has an unvegetated highwall approximately 10 feet high. I am unsure as to what we should require however the permit, according to Jim Simons, requires 3:1 or flatter. I would not recommend release of this area until the above problems are satisfactorily resolved. 159 Al i Liln 4 :.,. - _ _ ,.p. ��� MARTIN MARIETTA AGGREGATES Mr. Tom Carole Acting Mining Specialist Division of land Resources P. 0.

Sincerely, Horace Willson Manager Environmental Services HW/oe Attachment y �Gwlkdyk 011L 77AME YAM ��Y r�1 February 1, 1989 MEMORANDUM TO: File FROM: Tom Carroll CV - RE: Martin Marietta Aggregates Castle Hayne Quarry An onsite meeting was held on 7/7/88 in reference to 10/9/87 letter from T. Carroll to Dean Hardy. The following are field notes compiled during the site inspection. A copy of the original handwritten notes were provided to the mine manager, Butch Barnhardt. Also in attendence were H. Willson, M. Little & Tracy Davis. Mi nr:� Araa '3 Item 1: Work completed - water has been diverted. Rip -rap in place. Sparse bahiagrass and bermudagrass. Bermudagrass starting to run quite well ± kobe lespedeza. Area is releaseable. Item 3: Rip -rap has been selectively placed in two areas, stake planting of willow with wax myrtles set out - generally quite sparse. Additional plantings to be done this year (fall). Suggestion was made to utilize bark mulch (strippings) with plantings. Bare mounds on south and north sides of road in area separating Area 2 from Area 3 needs reseeding - very sparse vegetation. Again, recommendation was made on use of bark mulch when reseeding is done. Mine Area 4 Item 1: Highwall eliminated. Slope at approximately 3:1 - looks good. Item 2: as above - black locust are fairly abundant, area was seeded with rye grain and cover crop with kobe, sericea ± fescue. Natural drainage channel at SW corner - minor bank erosion on repaired channel - wax myrtles and willows planted along stream channel should do the job on longterm basis but additional willow stakings are needed on 4 x 4 spacing. Item 3: Gravel mulch applied to most of area when it was reseeded - good cover crop of rye grain but sparse permanent vegetation at this time. One area on western slope of gut (inlet) was not mulched - all vegetation is very sparse and gullies developing. Needs to be mulched heavily and topdressed. Runoff from south of pit area has been directed away from slope - should help a great deal in establishing a permanent vegetative cover. Martin Marietta Aggregates February 1, 1989 Page 2 Item 4 Walked entire southern perimeter of Mine Area 4. Vegetation on flat and gently sloping areas is very well established. Several access points along the southern and northern slopes exist that would provide fair to good access in/out of the lake area - these appear satisfactory but should be identified on a site map as was originally requested. Item 5 Roadway and ditchlines are still in need of repair (see photos). Recommend riprap ditchline ( 75-100') and stabilize roadbanks which are presently undercutting - primarily RR side (northside). Alternative would be to Trove road southward and use resulting fill to backfill along northern slope to a min. 2:1 angle preventing any need to encrouch into RR right-of-way. Reestablish ditchline and riprap for permanent stabilization. Note: 10/9/87 letter stressed need to use mulch on any repair areas - it didn't appear that this was done to any great extent.. Again, highly recommend use of bark mulch if available - if not use small grain straw to provide min. of 80% ground cover. If using grain straw need to crip or tack.

Edwards : As requested., the Castle Hayne Quarry permit has been modified to provide for an earthen berm along State Road 1002, Permit condition number 8 (page 4) has been changed as follows: A buffer strip 200 feet wide or wider shall be maintained between the top edge of any mine excavation and the highway right-of-way of State Road 1002. The buffer strip may either be undisturbed utilizing existing trees and vegetation for visual screening or may be a combination of an earthen bean and undisturbed buffer. If an earthen berm is used, the sideslopes of the berm shall be graded to a 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slope or flatter. The toe of the berm shall be at least 50 feet from the right--of-way line for State Road 1002. The berm shall be seeded in appropriate trees and grasses during the earliest :favorable planting season after construction for stability and visual screening. The 50 foot buffer betveen the toe and the highway right-of-way shall remain undisturbed except to install any required sediment control measures for the berm or to improve visual screening. I am also enclosing a revised page 4 of the permit with this modification. Please discard the previous page 4 and insert this page. This modifi-cation should fulfill your request.

Conrad SUBJECT: I-40 Buffer Zone at Castle Hayne Quarry I understand that the Interstate 40 right-of-way will cross property under control of Martin Marietta which contains mineable limestone. This area has historically contained sinkholes resulting from voids within the limestone. Sinkhole activity near the existing quarry appears to have been accelerated by quarry dewatering. Concern exists that quarry expansion could cause sinkhole activity along the I-40 embankment. As you know, future sinkhole activity is difficult to predict. Many factors besides the quarry dewatering, including highway construction itself could cause sinkhole activity along the right-of-way. Under The Mining Act of 1971, reasonable protection should be provided to the highway. A buffer strip would provide protection. However, with the information now available, it would be difficult to require in the mining permit that the operator main- tain a 200 foot (rather than 100 foot) wide buffer between the quarry operation and the right-of-way. Ne will be happy to reconsider this matter should add- itional information come to light. Please advise if we can be of further assistance. .

Box 30013 Raleigh, North Carolina 27622 RE: Castle Mayne Quarry New Hanover County Dear Mr. Edwards: DIVISION OF LAND RESOURCES Stephen G. Conrad, Director Telephone 919 733-3833 We have reviewed the request in your January 12, 1982 letter that the two hundred foot wide buffer requirement along S.R. 1002 be reduced to one hundred feet. The basis of your request was that only a one hundred foot wide buffer would be required adjacent to the new I-40 right-of-way. The primary reason for the buffer is to protect the roadway from sinkhole activity related to quarry activity. After consultation with the Geotechnical Section of the Department of Transportation and our own review, we continue to believe that a two hundred foot wide buffer should be retained along S.R. 1002 for the following reasons. Some fairly recent sinkhole related slumping has already occurred within the right -of --way of S.R. 1002 and adjacent areas. The timing of this slumping appears to coincide with quarry expansion and dewatering. 2. Whereas additional engineering to protect against sinkholes was added to the design of the I-40 base,.no such protection exists under S.R. 1002 since this road predates the quarry. 3. The right-of-way of S.R. 1002 is relatively narrow compared to the right-of-way of I-40. 4. The buffer also provides protection to neighboring houses in the area. As you know, future sinkhole activity is difficult to predict. Consequently, the designation of a buffer width for subsurface protection is somewhat arbitrary without detailed study. Based on what we have been able to determine so far, we believe that the.two hundred foot requirement along S.R. 1002 is reasonable. However, we will be happy to review any data you may have to the contrary or any proposed mitigating measures such as limiting quarry dewatering, etc. .

Future plans call for the diversion of Sturgeon Creek by a proposed ditch to existing drainage area west of present operation so that mining can begin on Area II as shown on attached map. A settling pond is planned on Area II until sufficient acreage is available in the pit to provide adequate settling area. Since all waste water is thoroughly settled before discharge into adjacent drainage areas, our operation should have no significant effect on wildlife,,or freshwater, estuarine, or marine fisheries. APPLICATION FOR A -MINING PERMIT - dwelling house, school, church, hospital, commercial or industrial building, public building or public road, describe methods to prevent physical hazard to such features. Blasting will be conducted so as to prevent damage by thrown rocks and from excessive vibration. Any natural feature, such as hedgerow of trees or ridges, will be left undisturbed. Where necessary rows of trees will be established between excavation and neighboring property or Vegetated -earth berm will be established. Reasonable safeguards, such as guard rails, fences, and oversize rocks will be located as close to dangerous openings as possible. Describe measures to be taken to insure against (1) substantial deposits of sediment in stream beds or lakes, (2) landslides, (3) acid water pollution. (1}. Substantial deposits of sediment in stream beds and lakes will be prevented by establishing a stable slope angle in unconsoli- dated material. Waste water from plant and storm runoff carry- ing silt from spoils piles and active mining area will be directed by drainage ditches or terraces to settling ponds before discharging downstream. Revegetation will begin on ditch banks and on spoils piles no longer in use as soon as feasible after construction. . (2) Measures taken to prevent landslides would include stripping loose, unconsolidated material from the top of pit or quarry wall for a safe distance, but in no case less than 10 feet; this,unconsolidated material- will be sloped to the angle of repose and revegetated if necessary to prevent erosion. Mining methods shall be selected which will ensure wall and bank stability, including benching as necessary to obtain a safe overall slope. (3) This operation does not yield acid water pollution. 3 Reclamation Plan 1. -Describe your intended plan for the reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the general methods to be used in reclaiming this land. This operation is located in an area of New Hanover County zoned for heavy industry; in addition to our operation there are two existing plants: Diamond Shamrock Chemical Company and Ideal Cement Company. Rail, truck, and barge facilities are available. Our reclamation plan which has been in effect -since the start of our operation calls for the casting of overburden back into depleted pit area and the settling of waste water in the pit. This material is to be used to reclaim land adjacent to and on the elevation with the existing railroad. The remaining depleted pit area will form a lake with access to the river. The reclaimed land adjacent to the lake will be sloped and stabilized with vegetation for Easy access and to prevent erosion; slope angle will not be less than li:l. Such reclaimed land would provide future industrial sites. A portion of our present stockpile area is located on reclaimed land that was formerly depleted pit. Reclamation Plan 2. Indicate what practices you will take to protect adjacent surface resources. This permanent operation is bounded its west line by a portion of the town of Castle Hayne; a large industrial area lies to the east; the northeast Cape Fear River is on the north and a large undeveloped area lies to the south. Overburden is back carted into the depleted portions of the excavation to be used to reclaim a part of the depleted land for possible future industrial sites. 3. State the method of prevention or elimination of conditions that will be hazardous to animal or fish life in or adjacent to the affected areas: This operation does not yield any toxic pollutants that would be hazardous to animal or fish life. Water in ponds that remain on the property will be accessible to and suitable for wildlife use. Ramps and access roads into pit will be left. Permanent ditches will be constructed with sloping banks stabilized with vegetation to offer access and to prevent siltation. 4. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all excavations in rock. Reasonable safeguards, such as guard rails, fences, and berms, will be provided as close to dangerous openings as possible. The face of overburden material will be set back at least 10 feet from quarry wall and sloped to the angle of repose. Mining methods will be selected which will ensure wall and bank stability, including benching as necessary to obtain a safe overall slope. Whenever possible, natural wooded areas adjacent to pit will remain undisturbed, or species.of trees native to the area will be planted. 5. Describe plans, if any, for screening operations from public view. Existing trees that serve as a view screen will be left uncut; or trees native to the area will be planted. Where necessary,,berms will be constructed from spoils according to sound land reclamation practices. 6. State the method of rehabilitation of settling ponds if to be reclaimed during the life of the permit. Settling ponds at this site are expected to be in use during the life of this permit. 2 Reclamation Plan 7. State the method of control of contaminants and disposal of mining refuse: No chemical contaminants are used in this mining process. Unusable scrap metal is stockpiled and sold. Other mining refuge, including waste rock, is incorporated in spoils piles or in the construction of protective berms. 8. Indicate the method of restoration or establishment of stream channels and stream beds to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution: The attached map shows the proposed diversion of Sturgeon Creek by ditch and natural drainage before beginning mining operation on Area II. This ditch and any future permanent stream channel for the creek will be constructed to a gradient, width, and depth as near as possible like that prior to mining. Banks will be sloped to the angle of repose and stabilized with vegetation and/or rip -rap to minimize erosion. 9. Describe provisions for prevention of noxious, odious or foul water collecting or remaining in mined areas. The nature of our mining operation produces an excavation well below the natural stream elevations, thus our abandoned pits will become fresh water ponds discharging clean water downstream. 10. Describe how the surface gradient in unconsolidated materials will be re- stored to a condition suitable for the proposed subsequent use of the land after reclamation is completed and proposed method of accomplishment: As stated in the reclamation plan, a portion of the depleted pit area will be reclaimed for future industrial sites; the remaining pit area will form a lake adjacent to the Northeast Cape Fear River. A surface gradient will be established wherein no slope will be greater than 34 degrees; reclaimed land adjacent to the proposed lake will be sloped and stabilized with vegetation to prevent erosion. 3 Ngw H/.VevEe CA6O1< .HAY�✓.E {Au.9.e'¢Y -,45� Reclamation Plan 11. Describe your plan for revegetation or other surface treatment of the affected areas. Note requirement of Regulation Number 1. The affected land as outlined in this permit and shown on the attached map is expected to be in use beyond the maximum permissible permit period, In the past it has been our policy to establish ground cover of grasses and/or trees on earth .berms, dikes, and dams as soon as practical after construction; and on spoils piles no longer in use. For the purposes of this mining permit we plan to use the following methods to establish vegetation on affected lands subject to erosion: 1. Slopes in unconsolidated material will be kept at an angle consistent with the nature of the material so that the possibility of erosion is minimized and so --that revegetation is feasible. _ 2. A ground cover of grasses or legumes will be established on affected areas such as earth berms, dikes, dams, and abandoned stripped areas and.spoils,: piles. We expect to use sericea lespedeza, love grass, fescue, rye, or a combination of several of the above. Lime and fertilizer will be applied as indicated by soil test results. 3. Virginia or Loblolly pines will be planted where necessary on affected areas along with the grasses and legumes. Nursery grown seedlings will be planted at a spacing to yield approximately 1000 trees per acre. 4. It has been our practice in the past to employ pro. fessional landscape contractors and tree planting contractors to establish a suitable ground cover on land subject to erosion and to improve the looks of the operation as a whole; this practice will continue.. Revegetation and/or reforestation plan approved by: /��% Title Agency® Date 2 Reclamation Plan 12. Provide a time schedule that meets the requirements of Section S of this Act. Vie anticipate that, everywhere feasible, reclamaticn plans will be conducted simultaneous with the mining operation. This will include the proper sloping of spoils piles and unconsolidated earth cuts. Deposition of z:aste r.material will be rnade in areas where subsequent erosion into streams will be negative or at a a;iinimum and to the best of our ability. ,then a spoils area is declared dead., we will comrience with revegetation. Following abandonment of the operation, we will within two years revegetate all spoils piles and the plant area. If settling ponds are large enough to retain as fresh water ponds, providing silt and clay settles properly, they gill be left for such purposes. If the pond has been filled up with sediment, we will revegetate with appropriate ground cover. 5 LAND ENTRY AGREEMENT We hereby grant to the Department or its appointed representatives the right of entry and travel upon our lands or operation during - regular business hours for the purpose of making necessary field --- inspections or investigations as may be reasonably required in the administration of this Act, so long as the Department or its appointed representatives are accompanied by an agent or representative of our Company.

May 18, 1977 MEMORANDUM TO: Charles G e FROM: Jim Simons /Qp SUBJECT: Castle Hayn Quarry I, contacted Charles Hollis, Corp o£.Enginears, Regulatory Department (763-9971 ext. 564) concerning mining in the cypress wetlands adjacent to Martin Marietta's Castle Hayne Quarry. Hollis reported that Martin Marietta had. violated "404" several years ago by building a dike along the N.E. Cape Fear River and had vio- lated an 1890's law when the quarry opened by diking off a part of the river and a stream adjacent tothe operation. The Corp has notified Martin Marietta that any future work in the swamp areas will require a permit since the land is wetlands and tidal swamp and has recently toured the site with representatives of Martin Marietta. The exact limit of the Corps' jurisiJetion has not been determined. Martin Marietta has submitted an inadequate 914D4° application to the Corp which was returned for correction. The revised application has not been submitted. Martin Marietta had planned to mine in the wetlands in 1978 but Hollis advised Martin Marietta to postpone wetlands mining since other high ground could be mined and opposition to wetlands mining was anticipated. Horace Wilson is coordinating Martin Marietta "4D4" appli- cation. I also called John Parker, DNER Marine Fisherdes, concerning the matter. Martin Marietta has a "borderline" violation of the State's dredge & fill laws by diking along the river. An inadequate application was submitted and returned to Martin c Marietta. A new application is expected within a few days. Opposition to the application is anticipated. Dave Adams office has been in touch with John Parker concerning this matter. ds t i I `F { 1.- May 18j'1977' .i Y t $e•Na'YM TOt Charles GardneR .r.. ^.FPCHS ,.._ Jixa Simons - - :-. �SCBJSCT:Castle Hayne Quarry . ..

Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 Dear Mr. McKenzie: A DIVISION OF MA M771V M.ARIETTA May 16, 1972 We would like to make the following amendments to our applications for a mining permit: Page 2, question C.3. Blasting will be conducted so as to prevent damage by thrown rocks and from excessive vibration. Any natural feature, such as hedgerow of trees or ridges, will be left undisturbed. Where necessary rows of trees will be established between excavation and neighboring property or vegetated earth berm will be established. Reasonable safeguards, such as guard rails, fences, and oversize rocks will be located as close to dangerous openings as possible. Page 3, question C.4.(1). Substantial deposits of sediment in stream beds and lakes will be prevented by establishing a stable slope angle in unconsoli- dated material. Waste water from plant and storm runoff carry- ing silt from spoils piles and active mining area will be directed by drainage ditches or terraces to settling ponds before discharging downstream. Revegetation will begin on ditch banks and on spoils piles no longer in use as soon as feasible after construction. Page 3, question C.4.(2). Measures taken to prevent landslides would include stripping loose, unconsolidated material from the top of pit or quarry wall for a safe distance, but in no case less than 10 feet; this unconsolidated material will be sloped to the angle of repose and revegetated if necessary to prevent erosion. Mining methods shall be selected which will ensure wall and bank stability, including benching as necessary to obtain a safe overall slope. Mr. J. Craig.McKenzie May 16, 1972 Page 2' Amendments to Reclamation Plan Page 2, question 3. This operation does not yield any toxic pollutants that would be hazardous to animal or fish life. Water in ponds that remain on the property will be accessible to and suitable for wildlife use. Ramps and access roads into pit will be left. Permanent ditches will be constructed with sloping banks stabilized with vegetation to offer access and to prevent siltation. Page 2, question 4. Reasonable safeguards, such as guard rails, fences, and berms, will be provided as close to dangerous openings as possible. The face of overburden material will be set back at least 10 feet from quarry wall and sloped to the angle of repose. Mining methods will be selected which will ensure wall and bank stability, including benching as necessary to obtain a safe overall slope. Whenever possible, natural wooded areas adjacent to pit will remain undisturbed, or species of trees native to the area will be planted. Page 3, question 8. Permanent diversion ditches and stream channels will be established to a gradient, width, and depth as near as possible like that existing prior to mining. Banks will be sloped to the angle of repose and stabilized with vegetation and/or rip -rap to minimize erosion. Page 3, question 10. The surface gradient will be established wherein no slope will be greater than 34 degrees, keeping in mind that accessibility to as much of the area as possible would be desirable. The method of achieving these gradients will be by grading and/or backfilling. Sincerely your ; John W. Graham JWG/ j c r w 3 11 t - 1 MARTIN MARIETTA AGGREGATES SOUTHEAST DIVISION P. O.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT WATER QUALITY SECTION 3143 Wrightsville Avenue Wilmington, NC 28401 October 30, 1974 MEMORANDUM TO: L. F. Benton, Supervisor , Field Services FROM: Tyndall Lewis, Acting Regional Engineer Southeastern Field Office SUBJECT: Amendment of permit Diamond Shamrock Company New Hanover County Reference is made to the attached September 5, 1973, letter from Mr. Hubbard to subject Company amending Permit No. '1912 to allow the disposal of sludge from the Company's industrial treatment system into an adjacent Martin Marietta stone quarry. Conditions of the amendment included that the sludge be free of leachable chlorides, that information be submitted pertaining to leachate chloride concentra- tions, and that the Company keep in force agreement with the owners of the quarry which allows the solid waste disposal. . The September 5, 1973, letter further suggests that: (1) The Company conduct evaluations to determine the level of leachable chlorides in the solid waste in the South pond. (2) The Company determine the mound of rainwater necessary to leech the waste from either pond. (3) The Company determine the permeability of the bottoms and sides of the lagoons. (4) The Company waterproof the sides and bottoms of the lagoons (5) Remove existing chlorides from the aquifer to return the aquifer to a useable status. (6) provide adequate water quality monitoring. DEMO TO: L. P. Benton Page Two October 30, 1974 (7) Washing and dewatering facilities for the sludge be considered... An engineering report dated December 20, 1973; prepared by Law Engineering, was submitted as a result of the September 5, letter. To summarize the report,'it is noted that: (a) The requirement that the sludge be chloride free could not be met by inplace'seepage. (b) Total available lagoon space is 120 acre feet. Chloride concentrations of sludge -samples ranged from 12,000 ppm to over 100,000 ppm. It would take about 3-6 years for one cubic foot of sludge to be flushed of chlorides, if the pressure head was equivalent to 1 foot of water. (c) The was 9e sludge has a vertical permeability of about 1 x 10~ cm/sec. (d) The laboratory gate of flushing by seepage through un- disturbed samples is influenced (lengthened) by slow solution of crystalline chloride compounds in the sludge .pores. This information serves as the basis for answers to items 1 and 3 above. By letter dated March 13, 1974, the Company submitted copies of a preliminary report for a sludge washing and dewatering system prepared by Dorr Oliver. Approval of the concept -was requested in order that final engineering contracts could be awarded for the final design of the system. By letter dated May 23, 1974, the Company indicates that the disposal of sludge contained in the South lagoon would not provide sufficient time for the installation of the above mentioned sludge washing system. A meeting was held in the Southeastern Field Office on August 15, 1974, and attended by the writer, Rick Shiver, hydrologist, Stan Taylor, Environmental Engineer, .Grey Seymour, Engineering Technician, Barry Peek, Chief;. Groundwater Chief, Frank Guenzel, C. D. Rudolf, and Stan Lant, representative of Diamond Sham- rock Company. At this meeting the Company again requested that it be allowed to dispose of the chloride contaminated sludge in Martin Marietta's quarry, and agreed to the following stipulations: 1. The Company would install a monitoring system to be described or approved by the Groundwater Section. 2. The Company would "depollute" the aquifers by pumping install- ations and/or removal of the sludge deposits to the extent necessary to maintain the groundwaters at a quality suitable YXMO TO: L. P. Benton Page Three October 30, 1974 , for drinking,.industrial or other usages requiring water of lower quality. 3. Line the existing lagoon with a material approved by the Groundwater Section after the sludge is removed and prior to placing the lagoon back into operation. 4. Submit an Engineering Report on the sludge washing and de - watering system on or before December 31, 1974. 5. Initiate construction of the system during second quarter of 1975 with completion contingent upon equipment delivery schedules. The Company also indicated at this meeting that it would take approximately 200 years for rainwater to leach the chlorides from the existing sludge deposits. The information and stipulations agreed upon at the meeting appear to answer the remaining points of the September 5 letter. Rick Shiver, by letter dated September 27, 1974, describes the required moni- toring system to be implemented by the Company. By memo to the writer dated September 24, 1974, Mr. Shiver further suggests additional requirements to be placed on the Company as conditions of approval for disposal of the chloride -rich sludge. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that Permit Number 1912 be amended to allow the Company to dispose of chloride contaminated sludge into Martin Marietta's adjacent quarry based on the stipulations agreed upon at the August 15, 1974, meeting and requirements described,in Mr. Shiver's September 27 letter and September-24 memorandum.- A letter has been prepared for Mr. Hubbard's signature for this purpose.

The original rermit .included sludge lagoons for final disposal•af the`'.:• sludges.'resulting from=the-1treatmeiit of wastewater from the Chrome Chemical F1:ant: The Company constructed _tree 6' acre siuclge 41oposal -lagoons during the ari$inal" c6n' otruction phase. Ana result of objections expressed by members of the United Statci� Department of Interior, Bureau'.of Sports Fisheries, and the'North�Carolina Vildlifa: Resources Commission, the Company -was prohibited from 'constructing additional siud je , disposal lagoons in tha awamplando originally acquired for that purpose. It:ig,' therefore, necessary for the Company 'to devise an accep'tabie'mnana of disposing of those.sludges by some alternate method. In May of 1973, Diamond Shamrock Chemical Company aubmitted'to thin Oifice.a pioposal.�to dispose of treated indudtrial waste, including the sludges, into a worked out stone quarry adjacent to the Company property. An alternate proposal was also included for i isposing of the slug ge only in the vorkced out quarry. ` This proposal xraa reviewed by.the Groundwater Division, tho Water Quality Division, and repre- sentativcn of the U.S.G.S. There was a cmeensus wnang the parties reviecri.ng the proposal that further information, was necessary prior to hither concurrence in or rejection of the proposal. on June 26, 1973,'a'canfrerence was held at the Diamond Shamrock Chemical Company, Chrome Chemical Plant, New itanover County. In attendance at the core fCerence was Ralph.Haath, U.S.G.S.; Marry Peek, Chief, Groundwater Division; and L. P. Benton, Jr., Supervisor,, Field Services, Water Quality Division. During the course of the conference and in correspondence Qince that time, it has been established that neither the Groundc:ater Division nor the Water Quality Division could concur in the placement of the treated industrial waste directly into the , quarry pits or into unlined ponds. It was further determined that neither Division. could concur in the placement of the decratered solid wasto into the quarry pits until residual chloride had been flushed from the caste. As a result of these two findings it was suggeeted that: r, Mr. Stanly G. Lant Page Two September 5, 1973 (1) The Company should conduct evaluations to detcrmina the' Leval of leachable chlorides still remaining in the _`solid-':': waste in -the south pond. • = (2) The Company'should determine the quantity of rain water -necessary to leach the waste from either pond uhan discharges to the pond. ceased. , (3) The Company would determine ttie permeability of the bottoms and sides of tho present disposal ponds,.. - The Company was also advised that it would be'ne'cessary 'to do-the.followilig things t ,,.. r... .

On February 16, 1976, Hanover County was made as most of your conservation adequate and in accordance for a mining permit. February 17, 1976 an inspection of your Castle Hayne Quarry in New required by G.S. 74-56 of the Dining Act. I found and reclamation practices carried out to date to be with the provisions set forth in your application One area of concern to me is with regard to the time schedule of your reclamation plan'submitted with your application. Under Section 1 of your reclamation plan you indicated that the depleted pit area adjacent to the river would be developed into a lake with banks sloped and stabilized with vegetation. And under Section 12 you indicated that reclamation plans will be conducted simultaneously with the mining operation. G.S. 74-53 of the Mining Act provides that reclamation activities should be initiated at the earliest practicable time after completion or termination of mining on any segment of the permit area unless a longer period is specifically permitted by the Department. My recommendation is that the banks of the developing lake adjacent to the river be sloped and stabilized with vegetation during the next planting season outlined in your revegetation plan. It is my understanding that the existing dike separating the proposed lake from the settling area is scheduled to be raised to a higher elevation and also recommend that the slopes of the dike be vegetated and stabilized upon completion of dike construction. Upon completion of the recommendations listed above, your operation will have reclaimed approximately 36 acres acceptable to the Department. This would meet the basic objective of establishing on a continuing basis the vegetative cover, soil stability, water conditions and safety conditions appropriate to the areas. -Z- Should you have any questions concerning this matter or desire information or assistance regarding reclamation procedures or erosion control techniques, please feel free to get in touch.

Revegetation will begin on ditch banks and on spoils piles no longer in use as soon as feasible after construction. Page 3, question C.4.(2). Measures taken to prevent landslides would include stripping loose, unconsolidated material from the top of pit or Quarry wall for a safe distance, but in no case less than 10 feet; this unconsolidated material will be sloped to the angle of repose and revegetated if necessary to prevent erosion. Mining methods shall be selected which will ensure wall and bank stability, including benching as necessary to obtain -a safe overall slope. Mr. J. Craig McKenzie May 16, 1972 Page 2 Amendments to Reclamation Plan Page 2, question 3. This operation does not yield any toxic pollutants that would be hazardous to animal or fish life. 'dater in ponds that remain on the property will be accessible to and suitable for wildlife use. Ramps and access roads into pit will be left. Permanent ditches will be constructed with sloping banks stabilized with vegetation to offer access and to prevent siltation. Page 2, question 4. Reasonable safeguards, such as guard rails, fences, and berms, will be provided as close to dangerous openings as possible. The face of overburden material will -be set back at least 10 feet from quarry wall and sloped to the angle of repose. Mining methods will be selected which will ensure wall and bank stability, including benching as necessary to obtain a safe overall slope. Whenever possible, natural wooded areas adjacent to pit will remain undisturbed, or species of trees native to'the area will be planted. Page 3, question.$. Permanent diversion ditches and stream channels will be established to a gradient, width, and depth as near as possible like that existing prior to mining. Banks will be sloped to the angle of repose and stabilized with vegetation and/or rip -rap to minimize erosion. Page 3, question 10. The surface gradient will be established wherein no slope will be greater than 34 degrees, keeping in mind that accessibility to as much of the area as possible would be desirable. The method of achieving these gradients will be by grading and/or backfilling.

Re: Castle Hayne Mine Permit No. 65-3 Your letter requesting an updated mine map with the 1979 Annual Reclamation Report was not received in this De- partment until after 1979 report information was furn- ished to the Castle Hayne plant. Maps of all quarry operations are normally updated by photogrammetric methods each three years. The report mentioned Ideal's schedule to update the Castle Hayne quarry map xcc-1377 during 1980 and that minor quarry advance since the last map revision (August 1977) was as previously anticipated. �,�Ad) In compliance with your letter request, we enclose bp.A+, two marked prints of xcc-1377.
