RE: High Airblast Incident of April 12, 1999
Elkin Quarry
Mining Permit No. 86-03
Surry County
Yadkin River Basin
Dear Mr. Hendrix:
This letter is in response to your consultant's, Mr. Stuart Brashear's,
investigation reports dated April 15, 1999 and May 7, 1999. The
investigation reports contained information regarding the high air blast
recording associated with the blast conducted at the quarry on April 12,
1999. An overpressure measurement of 130 dBl was measured by your
company's seismograph at approximately 1100 feet from the blast.
This office has completed its review of the investigation reports
prepared by Mr. Brashear. It appears that the excessive airblast reading for
this shot was related to windy conditions.
I concur with the remediation measures outlined in Mr. Brashear's
reports. Primarily, the remediation measures are as follows:
1 } Future blasting of boulders lodged in the top level of the
stripping area will be shot independently of the production
shot.
2) Additional cover material will be placed over these boulders to
further ensure that no venting of explosive gases results in
enhanced overpressure.

3. Profiling of all front row holes will be performed prior to loading of any front
row holes to ensure adequate burden.
4. Front row holes will be custom loaded to provide consistent powder
distribution throughout the free face while minimizing the potential for
overloading that can result in increased face velocity movement and
enhanced overpressure effects.
5. A Blast Optimization Team will be formed at the quarry that involves
everyone associated with the blasting program, including the driller, to
ensure that the blast design metrics are based on sound blasting principles.
6. A series of field practice audits will be performed to ensure that all blasters
are following prescribed best practices for determining shot design metrics
as well as loading and initiation applications.
In order to reduce excessive airblast readings in the future, the above remedial
measures proposed by your company should be considered part of the blasting procedures
used at this facility. If future airblast readings continue to exceed 128 dBl at this site,
modifications to the blasting conditions currently outlined in Mining Permit No. 86-03 may
be made by the Department.
I appreciate your company's prompt investigation and reporting of this matter to the
Department. If you should have any further questions on the above, please contact Ms.
Judy Wehner, Assistant State Mining Specialist, at (919) 7334574.

Additional Data Associated With the April 12, 1999 Blast
at the Elkin Ouarry -
As requested by NCDEHNR, the following information is provided.
A total of34 holes labeled as toe holes were shot with the production shot. The spacing of
C/ these holes varied depending on the quantity of rock needed to be removed above grade.
(b Loading of these holes followed Dyne Nobel standard operating procedures for loading
shallow holes. This nrac[ice requires gtem[ni ng heioPhtc to hp a mini!"---- of-o.,mw pe.eyn.
q, (70%) of the total h A one pound cast primer was placed into each hole and total
t of sixty-eight pound (68 lb) f ANFO added to provide the needed energy to fragment a
series ONar_ee boulde nd on the top level of the shipping area, extending out of the
dirt.
This represents less than three pounds total explosive weight per hole. As a means of
comparison, loading thirty percent of die hole, would have allowed up to seven pounds of
it ANFO per hole, significantly more than was placed in each hole for this blast.
V
These holes were stemmed with clean stone and then covered with four to five feat of clean
fill dirt. There was no observable ejection of stemming or premature release of explosive
X) gasses during the initiation of the blast. This cannot be totally confirmed as dies. holes
were initiated at the same time as the primary production blast and there may be some
n correlation between the detonation of these shallow holes and the enhanced overpressure
value recorded on Vulcan Materials properly.

REPORT
As specified in our initial report, windy conditions encountered during blasting operations
at F,ll:in on .April 12, 1999 could certainly account for the increased overpressure value
recorded on company property. Observations of the blast showed no apparent sign as to the
precise cause of the atypical overpressure recorded on Vulcan Materials property.
As to ramediation efforts at Elkin, Dyno Nobel Piedmont is keenly aware of the situation
with regard to both regulatory standards as well as community impact. Measures have
been taken to insure compliance with state and federal guidelines as well as to minimize
overpressure and vibration effects to the community.
As deg, elopment of the Elkin quarry continues, future blasting of boulders lodged in the top
level of the stripping area v%711 be shot independently of the production blast. This will
isolate overpressure effects from the detonation of these shallow hole shots. Additional
cover material will also be placed over these boulders to further insure that no venting of
explosive gases results i1i enhanced overpressure.
Profiling of all front row holes is performed prior to loading of any front row holes to
insure adequate burden. These holes are custom loaded to provide consistent powder
distribution throughout the free face while minimizing the potential for overloading that can
result in increased face velocity movement and enhanced overpressure effects.
A Blast Optimization Team has been formed at Elkin that involves everyone associated with
the blasting program, including the driller, to insure that blast design metrics as based on
sound blasting principles. A the request of Vulcan Materials, a series of field practice
audits are currently being performed by Dyno Nobel Piedmont's senior technical tnanag;,rs
to insure that all blasters are following prescribed best practices for determining shot design
metrics as well as loading and initiation applications.
The results of these measures has been an overall reduction in measured overpressure values
over the past several montlis. Higher readings, such as die one under discussion in the
report, are not indicative of the overall success in lowering overpressure effects by Elkin
and Dyno Nobel Piedmont personnel.
it must also be noted that all overpressure readings associated with Dyno Nobel Piedmont
blasting operations at Vulcan Materials Company sites fall within the overpressure standzu-ds
recommended by the US Bureau of Mines based on the technical capabilities of modem
portable blast monitoring devices. The impact of these improvements in hardware
capability is currently being addressed by NCDHENR. The staff of the Land Quality
Section is to be applauded for their understanding of this issue and actions currently under
way to correct this situation.

Dear Mr. Upchurch;
We have reviewed the April 12, 1999 blasting records and Dyno
Nobel Piedmont's investigative report you submitted for the above
referenced mine site. However, the following information is needed to
continue the investigation of the April 12, 1999 high airblast incident:
Please submit a scaled map of the seismograph locations
in rplatinn to the blast, Also indicate the wind direction.
No information was given on the amount of stemming,
burden and spacing of the toe holes that were shot along
with the production blast. Please submit this information.
3. No suggested measures have been included in the report to
lower the airblast. Given that this incident is the fourth
reported high airblast since December, 1997 at the subject
quarry, it is highly recommended that measures be taken to
reduce the noise levels.
Please be advised that our review cannot be completed until the
above items have been addressed. Once the review has been
completed, the Director may allow blasting practices in the area to
resume. Please forward the requested information to my attention at the
following address:

RE: Elkin Quarry
Dear Mr. Davis:
On April 12'h I notified your office by phone of an overpressure value recorded earlier that day
at our Elkin Quarry. As stated in Mr. Stuart Brashear's investigation report we deployed two
seismographs on the event in question. One was located on Aaron Road at approximately 2600'
in distance with a recorded value of 119 dB. The other was located on VMC property
approximately l 100' in distance with a recorded value of 130 dB. During your review of the
investigation report you'll find an outline of the probable cause of the April 121h. event and
recommendations to prevent similar occurrences in the future. These findings will be
inr_nrpnrateri in a. r blast;nd program at this facl!lty l,,,medlately. I truly appreciate your tliiic in

In association with blasting operations conducted at the Elkin quatry, Dyno Nobel
Piedniont's technical sein+ices group has reviewed collected seisinic data related to blasting
operations on April 12, 1999.
Of interest Nvas the recorded over -pressure values from the seismic units deployed for this
blast. One unit, located on Vulcan %Materials Properly. recorded an overpressure value of
130 d13, in excess of cun-eni lnnung standards as enforced by the NC Department of Health.
Environnwnt and Natural Resources.

1100 feet.
In reviewing the data associated with this blast, it is necessary to provide some sort oI'
interpolation with regard to expected overpressure values at the structure to deterinilie of a

Additional seismic data was recorded from seismic equipment allocated to Aaron Road. t\
value of 119 dB was recorded at a distance of 2600 feet.

To determine if the predicted overpressure value for the closest non-comparrowned
dwelling was greater than 128dB, a logarithruic plot of tree data points was created, using
the following for data points
130dB (in psi) at 1100 feet
128 dB (in psi) at 123C foci
• 119 dB (in psi) at 2600 feet
If the data point related to die 128 dB value for 1230 feet is below the regression titre front
the two known points, it is estimated that the value at this location would indeed represent a
violation.

It appears that the data point associated with the predicted 128 dB value at 1230 feet does
not fall below, the line connecting the known values. Based on this data, it is our conclusion
that the predicted valve for a distance of 1230 feet front the blast dated Match 12, 19W was
128 dB. This does not represent a violation of the mining permit fbr the Elkin operation.
As to the cause of the atypical value recorded for this blast, it was observed that the
seismograph in question was downwind and that windy conditions were present that day. A
review of recorded National Breather Service archive data from the Greensboro Triad
Airport indicates wind gusts up to 37 mph for April 12, 1999. There is no evidence of any
unusual conditions present for the blast. A detailed drillers foe ar:as present and stcannliug

or third row holes caused by the loss of borehole
confinement of this section of the blast.
I concur with the remediation measures outlined in
the report. The remediation measures are as follows:
Add additional delay time to holes in the
back corner of the blast, providing added
time for relief to form. This should provide
better stemming confinement and energy will
be able to react in a horizontal, not
vertical, manner. This will also minimize
back break and wall damage in the corner of
the blast, providing better conditions for
the next blast.

Investigation Into High Air Blast Value at the VMC - Elkin Quarry
Recorded August 4,1998
Mc Davis,
On August 4, 1998, during the detonation of a production shot at the Elkin quarry, an air
blast value of 130 DbL was recorded by the permanent seismic monitoring station located
approximately 950 feet from the blast. On the same day, an investigation into the enhanced
air blast result from this blast was undertaken by the technical service group of Dyno Nobel
Piedmont.
BLAST METRICS
The blast in question was located on the second level of the current pit development area.
The rock varies from competent gray granite to a weathered sap rock. The shot consisted
of 47 holes, 5,5 inches in diameter. Hole depths ranged from 41 to 43 feet. The shot was
drilled on a 13 by 15 pattern, providing a powder factor of approximately 1.5 tonsipound.
Given the variation in material to be found in this location of the pit, drill logs were
consulted by the blaster to aid in determining proper stemming height. In addition to using
accepted industry standards for adjusting stemming heights for broken material found in the
collar region, each hole was visually checked with a mirror to confirm the drill log data.

INITIATION
The shot was initiated from the open corner with a delay sequence of 17ms between holes
in each row and 59 milliseconds between rows.
ANALYSIS
Analysis of the blast indicated a well controlled shot with the exception of�oLi e or two holes
fhat_vented through the stemming region These holes were located on the second or third
row of the blast; in _the far rear. of the _blast) This area, in addition to being at the end of the
initiation sequence, were also;in an area of_weathered-sap rock) The remaining holes of the
blast showed good containment of the collar and no additional stemming ejection.
% Observations of the blast indicate cratering around one or two holes that resulted in the €,
venting of dirt and weathered material. This loss of borehole confinement resulted in of
stemming release pulse on the seismogram that measured a value of 130 dB at 1 Hz.
Cratering and release of borehole pressure through the stemming region is typically related
to one or more of the following causes.
• poor stemming material
• inadequate stemming material
• broken material surrounding the collar region
• excessive confinement
A review of the blast report and loading procedures followed at Elkin on this day shows
proper stemming material being used (clean stone, no drill cuttings). The drillers log was
consulted prior to loading operations to determine needed stemming height for confinement
of borehole pressure. In addition, the blaster utilized a mirror to visibly check to collar
region of each hole to confirm the data provided in the drill log. Nominal stemming depths
were used based on accepted industry standards for adequately confining borehole gases.
Given the location of the hole or holes that vented, it is the opinion of this office that one of
two variables could have caused the stemming release pulse. -Mil— er inadequate _stemming
r height due to- the quantitv'of broken material. inthe-collar region of the holes in question, or,
inadequate time between row detonation to provide relief to second and.third row holes:
Given the geology of the rock in the area of the shot where venting occurred, additional
stemming may have been required to insure confinement in the collar region. With
weathered material, the release of borehole gas pressure can completely bypass the
stemming itself and vent around the hole, carrying stemming material along with collar
material out of the shot bench. It is the responsibility of the blaster to compensate for
weathered or broken material in the collar region. To do this properly requires a precise
drill log. The drill log for this blast provided data as to the perceived depth of sap rock or
ELKIN5.SAM
C:MORKAMIPRO

dirt. It is possible that on the holes in question the driller was not able to determine the
presence of weathered material or the proper depth of weathered material. This could have
resulted in the blaster not having stemming material in the competent rock to contain the
borehole pressure from the detonation process. cif=the_stemming_region was entirely"in `.
(weatheredmaterial,released gas pressure can bypass the stemming and move through. the
,weaker, weathered material to the surface. Gas pressure always moves via thepath of least
♦=resistance.
The second possibility is that of insufficient time between rows during the detonation
process. Again, the released energy of the explosive column will always move towards the
path of least resistance. Of insufficient time is- given for thefrontrow burden to moveoff
,the. face, the path of least resistance for the second (andthird row) changes from_cu0
'toward the free face to up to the shot bench This is also found in the last holes of the shot
in the confined corner. This part of the shot tends to be overly confined due to the geometry
of the blast. This can result in venting of the final holes in each row,particularly in the back
rows of a given blast.
The response time for rock (the time between detonation of the explosive column and
actual movement of the effected rock mass) can vary with burden and rock type. Given the
soft, weathered material found in the blast in question, the response of this rock mass would
be expected to be slow.
The between row delay interval was partially influenced by the design of the shot. Given
the location of several holes on the opening portion of the blast, the between row delay was
limited to 59 ms. This may prove to be insufficient time to allow for movement of front
row burden prior to initiation of the second row and so forth.
Given the confinement shown in the remaining holes in the blast, the delay interval between
rows was sufficient to provide adequate relieve for most of the holes in the blast. For the
holes that vented, either increased stemming height or increased between row burden (or a
combination of the two) was required to provide needed confinement to prevent the
enhanced air blast values recorded for this blast.
(—REM EWATION-M EASITRESt
To insure that subsequent blasts in this area do not result in undesired air blast levels,
several factors will be evaluated in the next series of blasts in this area to determine optimal
design metrics to insure compliance with the Elkin quarry Mining Permit.
�i Add additional delay time to holes in the back comer of the blast, providing added
time for relief to form. This should provide better stemming confinement and energy
will be able to react in a horizontal, not vertical manner. This will also minimize
backbreak and wall damage in the corner of the blast, providing better conditions for
the next blast.
ELKIN5.SAM
CAWORq PRC

Evaluate the effect of increased between row delays throughout the blast. This will
allow for less confinement for second and third row holes, minimizing the potential
for stemming ejection or cratering. Such a design will be compared to utilizing faster
between row delays combined with increased stemming heights to compensate for
added confinement.
Work with the drillers to insure proper data is provided to the blaster.
The steps outlined above will be systematically employed and evaluated over the next series
of blasts in this area of the Elkin pit.
CTI}e- results_of the blast= design modifications will be submitted to your office -as soon as,
they have -been implemented and evaluated'at-Elkin quarry !The time at which odr findings -
,are submitted will be based in part on the blasting schedule -at -Elkin.

Dyno Nobel
Investigation Into Flyrock Incident, VMC - Elkin Quarry, July 20, 1998.
Mr. Davis,
4n July 20, 1998, during the detonation of a ramp shot at the Elkin quarry, a rock of
approximately four inch diameter was ejected from the blast security zone and landed on
adjacent property. There were no injuries or any property damage reported. The following
report is submitted for your review.
BLAST M ETRICS
The hlast in question contained 90 holes ranging in depth from 10 feet to 18 feet. This blast
was the first of a series of shots to create a ramp to a new bench. The front rows of the
shot contained 10 foot holes which progressed to the rear of the shot to a final depth of 18
feet.
Drill logs were consulted by the blaster to aid in determining proper stemming height.
Nominal stemming design called for 8 feet of stemming in holes ranging from 14 to 18 feet
in depth, and 7 feet for holes of 10 to 12 feet. This design follows the standard Dyno Nobel
blast design formula for short holes, which recommends approximately 70 percent of the
hole depth to be stemmed.

INITIATION
The shot was pulled from the center row to provide a means of developing relief for the
remainder of the blast, following established industry blasting practices for a sinking shot.
ANALYSIS
Analysis of the blast indicated a well controlled shot with the exception of two holes that
vented through the stemming region. The holes in question were either 16 or 18 feet deep.
Significant gas venting was observed with little rock ejection noted. The transient rock was
only noted due to the presence of VMC personnel providing blast area security. The
remaining holes of the blast showed good containment of the collar and no additional
stemming ejection.
Observations of the blast indicated that the first hole to loose confinement appeared to
crater around the hole collar. This cratering apparently caused a loss of confinement to the
next hole by displacing the top of the second hole collar region. When the second hole
detonated, the lack of confinement resulted in the rifling of that hole. Observed gas from
this second hole vented rapidly into the air, but did not show evidence of cratering as was
evident in the first hole.
The most probable cause of this loss of confinement on the second hole to vent was the
result of the cratering that occurred from the first hole to vent. This venting caused loss of
stellll lllllg eOrlllneirlent or, an, adjacent hole. Since the first hole to vent provided little In the
way of fragmentation, the path of least resistance for the second hole was again through the
disturbed stemming region, resulting in the rifling of the hole and subsequent throw of the
rock observed leaving the blast site.
The fact that two adjacent holes were observed to vent is not surprising. Hi -speed imagery
of blast events has documented that when one hole looses confinement and vents into the
air, the ability of the explosive energy partitioned to that hole is mainly lost. As a result,
adjoining holes are now being asked to impact a larger quantity of intact rock than was
designed. The result is even more confinement, which typically results in venting through
the collar region. As the holes that are in question were in the opening row of the blast, and
the remainder of the shot exhibited prover confinement, it is annarent that the hasic metrics
of the blast design were more than adequate to provide the required confinement for this
shot design.
The cratering observed from the first hole to vent can again be attributed to several causes.
A weak zone in the rock mass, broken material from redrilling and natural faults in the rock
mass can all contribute to loss of stemming confinement in the collar region. A drill log was
used by the blaster to compensate for rock characteristics, but apparently the driller was not

REMEDIATION MEASURES
Ramping to new levels represents confined conditions where the increasingly deeper holes
in the shot provides even more confinement. This confinement places additional pressure
on stemming materials, making the amount of stemming and the existing condition of the
rock critical. Given the nature of shooting such shots, and the necessity of creating a zone
of relief for the remainder of the blast to move toward, the opening row of holes typically
can present the most critical part of the blast.
To insure that subsequent blasts in this area do not result in undesired rock throw, the
following steps will be taken:
• Additional stemming will be held on the opening row of holes to provide additional
stemming confinement on all ramp shots in this area until blasting for this ramp has
been completed
• A safety meeting will be held with all members of the blast crew prior to the next
sinking shot to review the findings of this investigation. The need for precise loading
and Stemmirlg —each h^le -... be in:pre�sed :.'pon each member - the crew, ..';th
responsibility for additional checks of hole loading being assigned as needed to insure
precise collaring of each hole in the blast
These steps should insure that the remaining blasts required to construct this ramp pose no
threat to the properties and area outside the blast security zone. Blast design metrics for
each subsequent sinking shot will be reviewed by the technical service department of Dyno
Nobel Piedmont prior to blasting to insure adequate design parameters have been met with
regard to safety and the elimination of flyrock potential.
Should you have any questions or require additional information regarding the contents of
this report, please do not hesitate to contact me at once.

RE: Elkin Quarry
Dear Mr. Davis:
On July 20`I' Mr. Tim Hendrix, Superintendent of our Elkin Quarry, notified you by telephone of
an incident that occurred earlier that same day. You requested that Vulcan Materials Company
(Vulcan) submit a report outlining the probable cause of the July 20`h event and means to prevent
similar occurrences in the future. In response to your request, I offer the attached report for your
favorable consideration. Vulcan will, effective immediately, incorporate these findings in our
blasting program for this facility.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me direct at 336-744-2905. 1
trust our consultant's report will meet with your approval. I look forward to hearing from you in

Dyno Nobel
Investigation Into Flyrock Incident, VIVIC - Elkin Quarry, July 20, 1998.
Mr. Davis,
On July 20, 1998, during the detonation of a ramp shot at the Elldn quarry, a rock of
approximately four inch diameter was ejected from the blast security zone and landed on
adjacent property. There were no injuries or any property damage reported. The following
report is submitted for your review.
BLAST METRICS
The blast in question contained 90 holes ranging in depth from 10 feet to 18 feet. This blast
-was the first of a series of shots to create a ramp to a new bench. ' The front rows of the
shot contained 10 foot holes which progressed to the rear of the shot to a final depth of 18
feet.
Drill logs were consulted by the blaster to aid in determining proper stemming height.
'Nominal stemming design called for 8 feet of stemming in holes ranging from 14 to 18 feet
in depth, and 7 feet for holes of 10 to 12 feet. This design follows the standard Dyno Nobel
blast design formula for short holes, which recommends approximately 70 percent of the
hole depth to be stemmed.

The shot was pulled from the center row to provide a means of developing relieffor the
remainder of the blast, fallowing established industry blasting practices for a sinking shot.
ANALYSIS

entedAthrough the_itielnming region. { The holes in question were either 16 or 18 feet deep.

remaining holes of the blast showed good containment of the collar and no additional
stemming ejection.
Observations of the blast indicated that the first hole to loose confinement appeared to
crater around the hole collar. This cratering apparently caused a loss of confinement to the
next hole by displacing the top of the second hole collar region. When the second hole
detonated, the lack of confinement resulted in the rifling of that hole. Observed gas from
this second hole vented rapidly into the air, but did not Shaw evidence. of cn-aterinnn ass was
evident in the first hole.

disturbed stemming region, result' in.the,riflin� of the hril nri c„h „iPn�"+t�` f.tt�
-rock,observed-leaving the blast site
The fact that two adjacent holes were observed to vent is not surprising. Hi -speed imagery
of blast events has documented that when one hole looses confinement and vents into the
air, the ability of the explosive energy partitioned to that hole is mainly lost. As a result,
adjoining holes are now being asked to impact a larger quantity of intact rock than was
designed. The result is even more confinerent, which typically results in venting through
the collar- region. As the holes that are in question were. in the open;, row of the h1ast, and
the remainder of the shot exhibited proper confinement, it is apparent that the basic metrics
of the blast design were more than adequate to provide the 'required confinement for ibis
shot design.
The cratering observed from the first hole to vent can again be attributed to several causes.
A weak zone in the rock mass, broken material from redrilling and natural faults in the rock
mass can all contribute to loss of stemming confinement in the collar region. A drill log was
used by the blaster to compensate for rock chararteristir_,Q but smns,rantly the �riller ;vac not
able to detect any problem in the rock or may not have even drilled into the zone of rock
that contributed to the rock throw.

Dear Mr. Hendrix:
This letter is in response to the investigation
report prepared by Dyno Nobel, Inc. on your company's
behalf dated December 31, 1997. The investigation
report contained information regarding the high air
blast recording associated with the blast conducted at
the quarry on December 23, 1997. An overpressure
measurement of 130 d81 was measured by your company's
seismograph at approximately 950 feet from the blast.
This office has comnleted.its review of Dyno
Nobel, Inc.'s investigation report. It appears that
the excessive airblast reading for this shot was
related to stemming ejection and/or cratering of second
and third row holes because of increased confinement of
this section of the blast. The confinement of the
front row was caused by increased collar regions for
front -row holes, as a result of actual burden __..-..
measurements made by the blaster.
I concur with the remediation measures outlined in
the report. In order to reduce excessive airblast
readings in the future, the remedial measures proposed
by your company through its consultant should be
considered part of the blasting procedures used at this
facility. If future airblast readings continue to
exceed 128 dBl at this site, modifications to the
blasting conditions currently outlined in Mining Permit
No. 86-03 may be made by the Department..

Investigation of High Air Blast Reading - 23 December, 1997
Mr. Hendrix,
In association with blasting services provided to Vulcan Materials by Piedmont Explosives,
this office has reviewed shot information regarding the production blast dated December 23,
1997 that resulted in air blast values in excess of allowable limits for the Elkin quarry. The
results of ibis investigation are provided for your review.�,,�glw.
OVERVIEWY'"; 11
On December 23, 1997 the initiation of a 77 hole production blast a Elkin quarry
resulted in a recorded air blast reading or 130 un, exceeding " - 29 B limit imposed by
the state of North Carolina for mine and quarry operations. Asa esult, blast design metrics
associated with this blast have been reviewed by the Dyno Nobel technical service team to
determine the cause of the enhanced air blast reading as well as any measures that need to
be taken to minimize the potential for a reoccurrence.
SHOT DESIGN METRICS AT ELKIN QUARRY
The basic blast deisgn at the Elkin quarry must take into consideration the cap rock situation
normally encountered. This cap rock or laver of hard, competent material on the surface of
the bench, can result in oversize material and additional confinement of the blast if explosive
energy is not placed within the layer of cap rock or as close to it as possible. Oversize and
added confinement can increase community perception of blasting by adding to transient
residual vibration energy for the blast.

RAPPORT
To minimize the impact of this cap rock, the blast design at Elkin has bean adjusted to meet
the demands of the specific pit geology. A reduced pattern and use of emulsion repump
product provides excellent explosive distribution throughout the rock mass, essential for
breakage and minimized vibration effects.
With a relatively small burden and spacing design, stemming heights can be increased due
to the relationship between burden and stemming. Utilizing commonly accepted blast
design formulas, stemming heights typically are approximately seventy -percent (70%) of
the burden. As the burden used on the shot dated December 23, 1997 utilized a burden of
ten (front row) to twelve (second and third rows) feet, nominal stemming heights range from
seven to eight feet.
As is normal practice for Piedmont Explosives, front row burden measurements are made
for each hole to determine actual burden for each hole. As a result, actual stemming heights
typically are greater than nominal, due to reduced front row burden to the top of the free
face as is common for bench blasting.
For the blast in question, the front row was custom loaded to insure adequate rock mass in
front of loaded boreholcs. Due to tho reduced burden oncountorcd on the top section of the
free face, stemming heights averaging twelve to fourteen feet (12 - 14 ft.) were
encountered. The second and third rows of the blast were held at seven feet, the common
practice at Elkin, based both on empirical calculations and observed field results from
typical production blasting.
OBSERVATIONS OF THE BLAST
VHS video recording of the blast was performed by VMC personnel. A review of the video t
showed definitive venting of stemming on the second and third row of the blast. 'tF
In addition, the seismogram associated with the 130 dB recorded air blast reading was
reviewed. As with the ground vibration charnels, the shape of the air blast wave is
instrumental in assessing the actual cause of the enhanced air blast. In reviewing the record
from seismograph unit 2452, the air blast channel shows a distinct, sharp peak associated
with the 130 dB reading. This peak is indicative of multiple hole stemming ejection and gas
venting. This is consistent with observed stemming ejection observed in the blast video. T
➢ETEMMINED CAUSE OF ENHANCED AIR BLAST READING
In assessing the potential cause of air blast events, a fundamental rule of explosive energy
must be considered at all times, energy always follows the path of least resistance.
Venting of explosive gas and stemming ejection are caused by the path of least resistance
for released explosive energy being up through the stemming region rather than Forward
towards the free face. Given the observed venting of second and third row holes, though

stemming heights were consistent with common practice at Elkin, the conditions found in
the front row were reviewed to determine if the resupsnt venting was related to movement
in the front row of the blast.
As stated earlier, the front row collar region varied to take into consideration reduced
burden in front of blast holes. Given the use of repunrp product, a significant increase in the
stemming region on the front row was needed to assure adequate material in front of each
loaded section of each front row hole to insure that venting of explosive gas and increased
rock motion velocities in the free face did not occur. Such venting and enhanced movement
on the free face can result not only in enhanced air blast values but also an increased
potential for flyrock, as predominant rock motion is horizontal.
With increased stemming regions encountered on the front row, the top section of the front
row was under loaded. This unenergired section of the blast was the contribution factor in
the stemming ejection observed in rows two and three. In effect, the second row of holes
encountered twice the nominal burden in the top of the blast, as the top of the front row was
so lightly loaded due to increased stemming heights. This changed the path of least
resistance for the second row holes from the free face To the bench surface. This resulted in
cratering around the stemming, venting released explosive gas to the surface of the shot,
causing the sharp air blast pulse recorded by the seismograph.

RAPPORT
As demonstrated above, the cause of the enhanced au blast event was due to confinement of
the second and third rows of the blast. In reviewing practices employed for this blast it is
recommended that additional customizing of the loading of front row holes be employed tojr/
insure that overconfinement of the top section of the blast does not occur, creating a Uc
situation where stemming ejection is possible. In addition some modification to loading h'
practices for the second and third row should be considered and evaluated in the field for
practicality and effect. J
The current practice of measuring front row burden on a hole by hole basis provides the best
method of insuring adequate rock mass To properly utilize released explosive energy from
the front row holes. The problem encountered on the shot of December 23, 1997 was due
to the need to increase the stemming region to the point that the cap rock conditions found at � it
Elkin confined movement of the front row rock mass, effectively doubling the burden for (µum
the second row to act on.
To remedy this situation, it is recommended that in addition to the solid repump column
loaded in the section of each front row hole where sufficient burden is present, a reduced
l'l diameter charge is used to increased the height of the explosive column. This will provide X
needed energy in the cap rock region to facilitate breakage and movement of the section of
the blast, providing needed relief for the second and subsequently third row of the blast.
For the second and third row of holes, it should be considered that The full column load of
repump emulsion product, owing to its high density, be reduced and the remaining section 1tt, *R
of the hole up to the desired seven foot level be likewise loaded with reduced diameter /I
product. This will reduce the potential for stemming ejection or omlering even in cases
where designed relief of the front row may not be attained.
Modification of loading designs as outlined above should provide an additional measure of
safety and control with regard to potential air blast incidents.
In addition to the issues discussed above two additional areas of possible modification of
current blast metrics, the use of different delays with regard to downhole initiators should he
O considered. By using identical 350ms downhole detonators, there is a 50150 probability that
each hole is initiating top down rather that bottom up. If a longer length shock tube is being
utilized on the downhole detonator, the probability of top hole initiation is increased. pvv
In conditions such as those present on December 23, 1997, having the point of initiation
towards the top of the explosive column in second and third row holes could be a
contributory factor in stemming ejection or cratering , resulting enhanced air blast effects.
The use of a longer period top initiator should be considered to insure initiation at the
® bottom of the hole, where maximum detonation pressure is desired to aid in pulling the toe LZ
and floor control. xtu

RAPPORT
In reviewing the current shot design, it is also noted that current initiation sequencing
utilizes a between row delay of 42 milliseconds. While the geologic conditions encountered
at Elkin have show that faster delay intervals, particularly between holes in a row have

resulting in better breakage, it may be possible to increase between row delays to provide
additional relief for second and third row holes. This would again relieve some of the
tendency for the second and third row holes to have a path of least resistance that is vertical
rather than primarily horizontal.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on data collected from the shot report, videotape and seismogram, it has been
deta.Tnined that me cause of the enhanced air blast value recorded at Elkin quarry on
December 23, 1997 was the result of stemming ejection and/or centering of second and third
row holes due to increased confinement of this section of the blast. The cause of the
confinement of the front row was due to increased collar regions for front row holes, as a
result of actual burden measurements made by the blaster.
It is recommended that reduced diameter (3S inch) product be used to increase the effective
explosive column lengths to provide needed energy in the top section of the shot. This will
allow for better rock movement prior to the detonation of second row holes, providing the
desired path of least resistance for second row, and subsequently third row holes, resulting
in nominal air blast effects.

Subject: Air Blast at Elkin Quarry
_________________________ ___ __ _ _ Message Contents ______________
I got a call at 8:00 Monday, Dec. 29 from Tim Hendrix at the Vulcan
Elkin Quarry. He said that he had been trying to reach us for several
days, but they had a 130 dbl air blast at the quarry on Dec. 23. The
blast was on the top bench. They were preparing a report for us, but
he asked if they could blast at a separate area on the quarry floor.
Pursuant to the blasting permit conditions, I told them it was okay to
blast the floor, as the likelihood of airblast violation should be
less there.
It there is a problem with this, let me know. Thanks, Jim

MEMORANDUM
April 21, 1993
TO: Land Quality Section Field Staff
THROUGH: Mell Nevils
FROM: Tracy Davis?
RE: Timbering/Forestry Activities Within
Mining Permit Boundaries
Several situations have occurred recently where
timbering/forestry activities have occurred, without our knowledge,
within the mining permit area. After discussing this situation
with Charles Gardner and attorneys from the Attorney General's
Office, the following policy will be used to handle these
situations:
1) Timbering/forestry activities conducted within the mining
permit boundaries without clearing and grubbing (exposing
the soil surface to accelerated erosion) will not require
approval from this office through permit modification.
2) The above situation will only be allowed provided that
the timbering/forestry activities will not affect the
buffer zone or specific visual screening requirements of
the corresponding mining permit.
;} Prior to complete clearing and grubbing within the permit
boundaries, a detailed sediment and erosion control
plan permit modification must be submitted to and
approved by this office.
4) Appropriate timbering/forestry best management practices
should be installed for all logging roads, decks, etc. to
prevent off --site sedimentation.

MEMORANDUM
April_21,_1993..
Page 2
I hope the above information will adequately address how we
should handle these activities within the mining permit area. If
you should have any questions on the above, please contact me, Beth
or Tony.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

SEDIMENT FENCE (SILT FENCE) (Practice 6.62)
Construction Specification
Materials
1. Use a synthetic filter fabric or a pervious sheet of polypropylene, nylon, polyester or
polyethylene yarn, which is certified by the manufacturer or supplier as conforming to
the requirements shown in Table 6.62b.
Synthetic filter fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers to provide
a minimum of 6 months of expected usable construction life at a temperature range of
0 to 120° F,
2. Ensure that posts for sediment fences are 1.33 lb/linear feet steel with a minimum
length of 4 ft. Make sure that steel posts have projections to facilitate fastening the
fabric.
For reinforcement of standard strength filter fabric, use wire fence )Arith a minimum 14
gauge and a maximum mesh spacing of 6 inches.

Standard Strength - 30 Ib/lin in (min)
Extra Strength - 50 Ib/lin in (min)
0.3 gal/sq ft/miu (min)
Construct the sediment barrier of standard strength or extra strength synthetic filter
fabrics.
Ensure that the height of the sediment fence does not exceed 1.8 inches above the
ground surface. (higher fences may impound volumes of water sufficient to cause
failure of the structure).
Construct the filter fabric from a continuous roll cut to the length of the barrier to
avoid joints. When joints are necessary, securely fasten the filter cloth only at a
support post with overlap to the next post.

4. Support standard strength filter fabric by wire mesh fastened securely to the upslope
side of the posts using heavy duty_ tie wires. Extend the wire mesh support to the
hnttnm nfthe trench
5. When a wire mesh support fence is used, space posts a maximum of 8 ft. apart.
Support posts should. be driven securely into the ground to a minimum of 18 inches.
6. Extra strength filter fabric with 6-ft. post spacing does not require wire mesh support
fence. Wire the filter fabric directly to posts.
7. Excavate a trench approximately 4 inches wide and 8 inches deep along the proposed
lime of posts and upslope from the barrier.
S. Backfill the trench with compacted soil placed over the filter fabric.
9. Do not attach filter fabric to existing, trees.
10. Outlet protection, every 200 ft. along fence. Any outlet where storm flow bypass
occurs must be stabilized against erosion.
Set outlet elevation so that water depth cannot exceed 1.5 ft, at the lowest point along
the fenceline.
Set fabric height at I ft, maximum between support posts spaced no more than 4 ft.
apart. Install a horizontal brace between the support posts to serve as an overflow
weir and to support top of fabric. Provide a riprap splash pad.
Excavate foundation for the splash pad a minimum 5 ft, wide, 1 ft. deep, and 5 ft. long
on level grade, lire finished surface of the riprap should blend with surrounding area,
allo-v%r,ng no over -fall. The area around the pad must be stable.
Nlaintenance
Inspect sediment fences at least once a week and after each rainfall. Make any
required repairs immediately.
Should the fabric of sediment fence collapse, tear, decompose or beconrc
ineffective, replace it promptly.
Remove sediment deposits as necessary to provide adequate storage volume for
the neat rain and to reduce pressure on the fence. Take care to avoid undermining tine
fence during cleanout.
Remove all fencing materials and unstable sediment deposits and bring the area to
grade and stabilize it after the contributing drainage area has been property stabilized.

Dear Mr. Scott: -
The initial review has been completed on the modification
request your company submitted for the above referenced mine site.
However, the following additional information is needed to continue
processing your request:
1. Supporting design calculations are needed for the rip -rap
channels located on either side,.of thesouthernsediment
basin to ensure that the channels are adequate to pass a
twenty-five year, twenty-four hour storm event.
2. Temporary diversion ditch liners have not been specified.
Please specify the type of -temporary -liners-that -will be
used and provide a stapling pastern for anchoring
purposes, if anchoring is necessary.
Approvable sediment control fabric will be required for
silt fence construction. Also, stone outlets to prevent
overtopping of the silt fence will.be required every two
hundred feet. It will be recommended that steel post be
used in lieu of wooden posts. In addition, gravel will
be recommended for backfill material in installation of
the silt fence. If you have any concerns about
stipulating these items in the permit modification,
please address your concerns in your response.

of the road and right of way when this occurs. If this
is not the case, please clarify whether the road
relocation is to be considered part of the permit area or
not.
As required by 15A NCAC 5B.0013, you are hereby. advised that
you have 180 days from the date of your receipt of this letter to
submit all of the requested information. If you are unable to meet
this deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit
information, in writing, to the Director clearly indicating why the

RE: Elkin Quarry
Modification to Permit #/86-03
A review of the above -referenced mining permit was made on
November 5, 1996. The following comments are noted:
1. There are many issues that need to be clarified
s,yJ� regarding the relocation of SR 1142. After this road is
constructed, will it be considered off -site sediment if
sediment is lost onto the new DOT right-of-way? Who
will be responsible for maintaining the sediment
`controls on the DOT right-of-way? Erosion control
measures shown on sheets 2 of 17 and 3 of 17 appear to
be adequate. The same problems exist on sheet 17 of 17
q
of the road relocation plan as do on sheet 5 of 5 of
the permit modification plan (See comments #4, 5, and
nm 6 below).
2. Sheet 2 of 5 - For the sediment basin on the south side
of --the site, they either need to keep the full storage,.
j capacity of the basin during all phases of
construction, or stabilize all areas above the basin
before it is filled in.
3. Channel calculations are needed for the 2' wide rip -rap
channels on either side of the fill slope. They are
not in Appendix "A". These channels are located on
either side of the south sediment basin on sheet 2 of
5.
I[4.) Sheet 5 of 5 - Specifications are needed for any
proposed temporary ditch liners, such as excelsior or
NAG 125, these were not provided. A stapling pattern
will also be needed.
5. Sheet 5 of 5 - On the detail for the rock dam, the top

Elkin Quarry
November 5, 1996
width of the stone spillway should be a minimum of 51.
6. Sheet 5 of 5 - On the detail for sediment fence, all
references to burlap must be deleted. Only an
we�approvable sediment control�ric may be used_ Also,
to�em use steel silt fence posts. The
approval of wood posts will direct them to Lowers where
they will purchase the ready-made silt fence. Excavated
trenches for backfilling should be 8" x 8" and
backfilled with gravel.
7. Sheet 2 of 5 - In the proposed settling pond
construction area, stone outlets should be installed
n..i' every 100' or so to dewater the areas behind the silt
(V,U`I�1 fence. Past experience has shown that this is a good
idea for long stretches of silt fence, in this case
1200'.
8. Comments have been obtained from Water Quality and Air
p be found. I�checked with �them.thismmorning Vand they are
stilltryingto find the plan. I will forward them to
you as soon as I get them.

Date: 25 October 1996
Subject: Review of Mining Permit Modification for Vulcan
Materials Company, Elkin Quarry - Permit No. 86-039
Surry County
Staff field biologists of the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the mining permit
modification (Elkin Quarry - Permit No. 86-03) submitted by
Vulcan Materials Company. A site visit was conducted on 24
October 1996. These comments are provided in accordance with
certain provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982;
(B.S. 74-46 through 74-68, 15 NCRC 5) and the North Ca wl .na
General St atutes (G. S. 113-131 et seq.).
We previously commented on this permit reqardinq its renewal
in a memcrandum to your agency dated 23 January 1991. Vulcan
Materials Company is now proposing to add 8.45 acres to the
existing 230.07 acres previously permitted. The additional
acreage consists primarily of forested uplands, much of which has
been previously disturbed. In addition to the added acreage two
new settling basins will be constructed in the floodplain of the
Yadkin River. The new settling basins will incorporate the same
wash water treatment system which is currently in place. Wash
water is treated by sequential settling basins in a closed
circuit recyclinq water treatment system. Water- is only
discharged into the Yadkin River from the last of these basins
during periods of heavy rainfall. A nationwide 404 permit has
already been approved by the U.S. Array Corps of Engineers, and
the North Carolina Department of Envirorirnent, Health, and Natural
Resources (NCDEHNR) has issued the 401 certification.

, i

0 s
Because the proposed expansion of the quarry consists of a
relatively small area (8.45 acres)and the new settling basins are
to be incorporated into the same closed circuit recycling system
in which mirsimal sediment is discharged into the -Yadkin River,
effects on fish and wildlife resources should be minimal. The
impacts of the actual construction of the new settling basins in
the floodplain of the Yadkin River should also be negligible
provided the basins are constructed to withstand major flood
events. Therefore, the NCWRC has no objection to the
modification of this permit. During the on site inspection, it
was recommended to Mr. Tim Hendrix (Elkin Quarry Plant
Superintendent) that Mr. David Sawyer (District 7 Wildlife
Biologist) be contacted to develop a plan to enhance wildlife
habitat in disposal and berm areas in addition to current
revegetation plans.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
application. If you have any questions regarding these comments,
please contact me at 91 G / 635--1263.

Narrative
Site Description
Elkin Quarry, Permit No. 86-03, is a granite quarry ovmed and operated by Vulcan
1 Materials Company (VMC). The site is located just east of Elkin, North Carolina and is
accessed by both Highway 268 and State Route 1142 (SRI142). (Refer to the Vicinity
1 Map on the cover sheet of the Design Plans).
■ The existing permitted acreage is 230.07 acres. This mine plan revision requests
' an additional 8.45 acres be added to the permit. Tbis additional acreage will be used
primarily for the SRI 142 relocation and a portion, in the future, will be utilized I'm'
' stockpile, plant, or shop area. (Refer to the Property Map).
Currently, SR1142 bisects the site north -south. Design plans have been approved
by the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Sorry County Commissioners
' to relocate SRI.142 to the western boundary of the site. (Refer to Appendix C for
approvals). The Erosion & Sediment Control Plan for the relocation is being submitted
simultaneouslywith this mine plan revision
' The site is in the Yadkin River Basin and lies just north of the river. A
jurisdictional determination and nation-wide permit, Section 404, have been prepared and
approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Also, the Nortb Carolina Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources (NCDEHNR) have issued the 401
' Certification. (Refer to Appendix D for the 404 and 401 Certifications).
Project Description
The purposes of this revision are to gain access to additional reserves by expanding
the quarry and to enlarge the stockpile and processing area.

Adiacent Property
' Land adjacent to the permit boundary is predominantly undeveloped woodland.
Some single unit residential structures are located around the site. 71ne closest dwelling to
any existing excavation is 600 feet and to any proposed excavation is 800 feet.
Woodlands surround the disturbance and will be retained to provide a vegetative
screen. As pan of the SRI 142 relocation construction, a five-foot screening berm will be
built. As the quarry expands, the overburden disposal berth along SRI 142 will provide
f additunal screecUJg.
A three -strand barbed wire fence with warning signs at 100-foot spacing shall be
' constructed around the quarry limits to provide a warning of caution to any intruder.
' Site Access
Can'ently, the site is accessed from Highway 268 and SR 1142. "fhis will remain as
the access to the site. The existing office and scales are not planned to be moved.
Ouarry Expansion
' "Me proposed quarry expansion lies to the west and north of the existing quarry
pit. Prior to commencing with expanding the quarry, SRI 142 must be constructed and
traffic routed on the new section.
The construction of SRI 142 requires more fill than cut. Therefore, a borrow area
will be utilized and is shown on the Permit Map. During SRI 142 construction, a rock
dam, as shown on the Permit Map, will be used to control sediment laden runoff from the
borrow area. Once SRI 142 is relocated and the quarry expansion begins, runoff from the
expansion will either flow into the existing quarry pit or the borrow area rock dam

Therefore, this rock dam «711 be maintained until the quarry expansion reaches its
1 southwest limit. Once the quarry is expanded to its southeast limit, all drainage from
overburden removal operations will flow into the quarry pit.
The proposed overburden disposal berm will be constructed in phases over the
next ten years as overburden removal operations continue. Runoff from boor the interior
and exterior slopes of this berm will be diverted back to the quarry pit for treatment.
Temporary conveyance channels and 24-inch HDPE pipes will be utilized to carry runoff
from the exterior slopes back to the quarry pit. These temporary measures will be
' installed at each SR1142 culvert, at a minimum. The riprap conveyance channel has been
designed to carry the full runoff capacity along the entire berm. Once the berm is finished
' and the slopes are permanently stabilized, flow will be sent from the exterior conveyance
channel to each culvert under SR1 142. Culverts will be utilized to make this conveyance
of flow.
The sediment pond to be constructed prior to SRI 142 and located in the western
corner of the pen -nit will be maintained during the quarry expansion and overburden berm
construction. This pond will serve as a polishing pond prior to any runoff leaving the site.
.Gnrknily and Frnrevvinu Area
Currently, the stock ile/ rocessin area consists of 23 acres of which a large
Y T p g g
portion is used for settling ponds. This revision proposes to relocate the settling ponds
south of Highway 268 and the area north of Highway 268 will be utilized for stockpile and
plant area.
Construction of the settling ponds will create minimal land disturbance. The area
is flat and flow to a central sediment structure will be difficult to achieve. Therefore, we
propose to use a silt fence since the construction duration from initial ground breaking to
revep-etation will only be two to four weeks.
Y

Once the new settling basins are constructed, then fill will be placed over the
existing settling basins. A rock dam is proposed to control runoff from this filling
operation. The fill material will be generated from the quarry expansion operation.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
The erosion and sediment control principles for this project are to simply convey
runoff and to collect and treat any sediment laden runoff prior to discharge from the site.
The North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual has been
adhered to and used for guidance during the development of this plan. All structures are
designed based on the 25 year-24 hour storm event.
The main erosion and sediment control structures for this project are rock dams
and conveyance channels. Silt fence (Practice 6.62) will be used in isolated instances
wl_+ere Innd dicmrhance is minimal and the time duration is short. Slone drains (Practice
6.02) and temporary sediment traps (Practice 6.60) have been included in the design, in
case, the need may arise for a temporary measure during construction.
*Peak Runoff
Runoff is mmputed nsing the. rntional method, Q—GA where-
, Q = Peak rate of runoff in CFS
C = Runoff Coefficient
Ii = Intensity of rainfall in inches/hour
A = Drainage area in acres
The runoff coefficient C, for this project was chosen to be 0.50 due to the nature
of mining operations and the disturbance duration. Assuming C = 0.50 throughout all the
design calculations is a conservative measure which adds factor of safety to the drainage
structures.
A short time of concentration, five minutes, is assumed for all drainage areas. This
1! is another conservative assumption which adds adffitinnal factor of safety.
' •Rock Dam (Practice 6.63)
' Rock dams are utilized on the project to treat sediment laden runoff prior to
discharge from the sight. The basin volumes are based on I900 cubic feet of storage for
each acre of drainage area. (Rock Dams 002 and 003 are exceptions, they are sued based
t7�J�

on disturbed drainage area.) The spillways are sized to pass the 25 year - 24 hour storm.
The embankments have a minimum width of 5 feet with the upstream slope at 2:1 and the
downstream slope at 3:1. Embankments shall be underlain by a 2 foot by 2 foot cutoff
e trench. The rock embankment shall be constructed of stone with a minimum d5o = 9" and
the upstream face shall be covered with a NCDOT 057 none filter layer.
' Trap efficiency has been designed so as to prevent short circuits from inlets to
outlets and the detention time is at least 8 hours. The surface area is sized to provide 0.01
acres per CFS of runoff.
*Conveyance Channels (Practice 630 and 6.31)
The conveyance channels are sized based on the 25 year - 24 hour storm. The
channel dimensions are evaluated for capacity and velocity (based on the design retardance
class). Then they are evaluated at a retardance class one higher than design to account for
vegetative growth and debris build-up. Once the dimensions are established then the
temporary lining is designed. Channel linings for this project are grass, riprap and one
1 steep slope channel is grouted riprap. The grass lined ditches have temporary linings of
either jute net, straw with net or synthetic mat. Channel linings are designed using the
Tractive Force Procedure.
I•Culverts
The culverts are designed to pass the flow from a 25 year - 24 hour storm. Culvert
' designs are based on Manning's "n" values for corrugated metal pipe. The design
procedure consists of computing both the inlet control flow and the pipe control flow to
determine which is the critical parameter. Once the critical parameter determined then the
culvert is sized to prevent overtopping of the inlet embankment by the design storm.
' Rock riprap energy dissipators (Practice 6.41) are designed for the pipe outlets to
prevent excessive erosion.
•Temporary Seeding (Practice 6.10)
1
Temporary seeding is to be applied to all disturbed areas where work is delayed for
' a period of more than 30 days but not more than one year.
�'cx . aroma

•Permanent Seeding (Practice 6.11)
Permanent seeding is to be applied on areas which have been brought to final grade
or areas which are rough graded and will not be brought to final grade within a year or
more.
,Vegetative Screen - Trees. Shrubs. Vines and Ground Covers (Practice 6.13)
Trees, shrubs, vines and ground covers shall be used in areas where a vegetative
screen is necessary. And existing vegetation does not exist.
•Land Grading (Practice 6.02)
All out and fill slopes in unconsolidated material will be no steeper than 2:1 with a
10 foot horizontal bench at each 30 foot elevation interval. Cut slopes will be fine graded
immediately after rough grading and will be vegetated according to the Vegetation Plan.
As the disposal areas are created, the material shall he placed in even layers and
compacted. Vegetative measures shall be applied according to the Vegetation Plan and
the regulations set forth for temporary and permanent seeding.
,Tree Preservation and Protection (Practice 6.05)
Trees and otter vegetation will be preserved as much as possible for their
screening, landscape and erosion protection value.

VEGETATIVE SCREEN - TREES AND SHRUBS (Practice 6.02)
Construction Specifications
' Trees
Planting bare -root tree seedlings -Bare -root seedlings should be handled -only
while dormant in late winter, early spring, or after leaf fall in autumn. Availability of stock
usually limits planting to winter or spring. Store packages of seedlings in a shaded
location out of the wind. If it is necessary to store moss -packed seedlings for more than
two weeks, add one pint of water per package. Do not add water to clay -treated
seedlings.
Do not allow roots to dry during planting by carrying seedlings exj)osed to air and
slnr. Keep moss -packed seedlings in a container packed with wet moss or filled with thick
muddy water. Cover clay -treated seedling with wet burlap.
1 With a tree planting bar or spade, make a notch deep enough to accommodate the
roots. Place the roots in the notch to the same depth as in the nursery, then firm soil
around roots by pressing the notch closed. Water immediately and mulch the area within
2 ft. of the plant. Several weeks after planting, broadcast a handful of 10-10-10 fertilizer
' around each plant, at least 1 ft. fi-om the base.
On large sites where slopes are not prohibitive bare -root seedlings can be
efficiently planted in furrows using a tractor -drawn vegetable transplanter.
Planting balled-and-buriapped or container -grown trees -Late fall (Nov. -Dec.)
is the preferred planting time for deciduous trees and evergreens, although they may be
planted year-round. Avoid summer planting.
Keep the soil around the roots moist until planting. Branches should be bound
with soft rope to prevent damage during transport.
Each planting hole must be deep and wide enough to allow proper placement of
the root ball. Ideally, the hole should be twice the size of the root ball. When digging the
' hole, keep topsoil separate from subsoil. If Lire subsoil is high in clay, allow extra room

' . (one-half again the Height of the root ball). Backfill the hole with enough topsoil or peat
moss to position the base of the tree at the same level as in the nursery.
If the plant is in a container, carefully remove it, taking the soil surrounding the
roots with it. ']'his may require cutting the container. Loosen the twine and burlap at the.
top of balled- and-burlapped plants and check to make sure that no other wrapping is
present before planting.
Before repiacing subsoil, mix it with one-tliird peat moss or well -rotted manure.
Backfill the hole, firming the soil as it is replaced, and leave a depression around the trunk
within the excavated area to hold water. Cover the base of the tnuik to the same level as
before it was removed. Water thoroughly and rewater as necessary to keep the roots
[Hoist.
Stake small trees with vertical stakes driven into the ground, just beyond the root
ball. Secure large trees with guy wires. Cushion wire, where it contacts the tr,;e, with
rubber hose. Wrap the trunks of young trees to protect them from sunbunt and pests.
Fertilize trees in late fall or early spring, before leaves emerge. Using a
punclrbar, crowbar, or auger, make holes 18 inches deep and about 2 feet apart around the
drip line of each tree. Distribute the fertilize evenly among the holes to bring it in contact
with tree roots, and close.
Shrubs
1 Obtaining shrubs -Shrubs are nonnally planted as bare -root stock or container -
growl plants. Container -grown seedlings, 1 year old, are usuall.y.recommended for their
ease of planting and cost.
' Planting is best done in early fall or early spring. Follow the genera] procedures
for tree care and planting.
1

Maintenance
■
■ Maintenance requirements depend on the particular shrub. In all cases watering is
important in getting plants established. Once established, fertilizing every 3) years is
generally sufficient. A heavy layer of mulch around the base of each plant reduces weeds
and retains moisture. Mulch may consist ofwoodchips, sawdust, pine needles, or straw.

CONVEYANCE CHANNELS (Practice 630 and 6.31)
Conetryetinn Specification
Grass -Lined Channel
I, Remove all trees, brush, stumps, and other objectionable material for the
foundation area and dispose of properly.
2. Excavate the channel and shape it to an even cross section as designed.
When staking, indicate a 0.2 feet over cut around the channel perimeter for
silting and bulking.
3. Grade soil away from channel so that surface water may enter fieely.
4. Place temporary linings and apply lime, fertilizer, and seed the rhantel and
adjoining areas in accordance the vegetation plan.
Riprap Channels

6. Immediately upon completion of the channel, vegetate all disturbed areas
or otherwise protect them against soil erosion.

Masntenance
' Inspect' channels at regular intervals as well as after major rains and make repairs
� 5 J � p
promptly. Give special attention to the outlet and inlet sectio-us and other paints where
.' concentrated flow enters. Carefully check stability at road crossings and look for
indications of piping, scour holes, or bank failures. Make repairs immediately. Maintain
all vegetation adjacent to the channel in a healthy, vigorous conditiois to protect the area
from erosion and scour during out -of -bank flow.
1

SLOPE DRAINS (Practice 6.32)
A common failure of slope drains is caused by water saturating the soil and seeping,
along the pipe. This creates voids from consolidation and piping and causes washouts.
Proper backfilling around and under the pipe "haunches" with stable soil material and hand
compacting in 6-inch lifts to achieve firm contact between the pipe and the. soil at all
points will eliminate this type of failure.
1. Place slope drains on undisturbed soil or •,yell compacted fill. at locations and
elevations shown on the plans.
2. Slightly slope the section of pipe under the dike toward its outlet.
3. Hand tamp the soil under and around the entrance section in lifts not to exceed 6
inches.
4. Ensure that fill over the drain at the tope of the slope has minimum dimensions of'
1.5 ft. depth, 4 ft. top width, and I I side slopes.
5. Ensure that all slope drain connections are watertight.
6. Ensure that all fill material is well -compacted. Securely fasten the exposed section
of the drain with grommets or stakes spaced no more than 10 ft. apart.
". Extend the drain beyond the toe of the slope and adequately protect the outlet
from erosion.
8. Make the settled, compacted dike ridge no less thair i ft. above the top of the pipe
at every point. .
9. Immediately stabilize all disturbed areas following construction.
Maintenance
Inspect the slope drain and supporting diversion after every rainfall and promptly
make necessary repairs. When the protected area has been permanently stabilized;
tewporai7y measures may be rernoved, materials disposed of properly and al; disturbed
areas stabilized appropriately.

1 OUTLET STABILIZATION STRUCTURE (Practice 6.41)
' Construction Specifications
I . Ensure that the subgrade for the filter and riprap follows the required lines and
1 grades shown in the plan. Compact any fill required in the subgrade to the density
of the surrounding undisturbed material. Low areas in the subgrade on
undisturbed soil may also be filled by increasing the riprap thickness.
2. The riprap and ravel filter must conform to the specifiedgrading, limits shown on
P P g sl
the plans.
3. Filter cloth, when used, must meet desigpi requirements and be properly protectdd
frorn punching or tearing during installation. Repair any damage by removing the
' riprap and placing another piece of filter cloth over the damaged area. All
connecting joints should overlap a minimum of 1 ft. If the damage is extensive,
replace the entire filter cloth.
4. Riprap may be placed by equipment, but take care to avoid damaging the filter.
5. The minimum thickness Ofthe.riprap should be 1.5 times the maximum stone
diameter.
1= 6. Riprap may be field stone or rough quarry scone. It should be hard, angular, highly
weather -resistant and well graded.
7. Construct the apron on zero grade with no overfall at the end. Make the top of
the riprap at the downstream end level with the receiving area or slightly below it..
6. .Ensure that the apron is properly atlgned witty the receiving stream and preferably
straight throughout its length. If a curve is needed to fit site conditions, place it in
the upper section of the apron.
' 9. Immediately after construction, stabilize all disturbed areas with vegetation
(Practices 6.1 U, Temporary Seeding, and 6.11, Pernlaneut Seeding).
Maintenance
. Inspect riprap outlet struCt#lres after heavy rains to see if any erosion around or
below the riprap has taken place or if stones have been dislodged. Immediately make all
' needed. repairs to prevent fiirther damage.

TEMPOMAY SEDIMENT TRAPS (Practice 6.60)
' Construction Specifications
1. Clear, grub, and strip the area under the embankment of all vegetation and.
root mat. - Remove all surface soil containing high amounts of organic
matter and stockpile or dispose of it properly.
2• Ensure that fill material for the embankment is fee of roots, woody
vegetation, organic; matter, and other objectionable material. Place the fill
in lifts not to exceed nine inches and machine compact it. Overfill the
embankment six inches to allow for settlement.
3. Constrict the outlet section in the embankment. Protect the connection
between the riprap and the soil from piping by using filter fabric or a
keyway cutoff trench between the riprap structure and the soil.
* Place the filter fabric between the rprap and soil. Extend the fabric
across the spillway foundation and sides to the top of the dam; or
Excavate a keyway trench along the centerline of the spillway
foundation extending up the sides o the height of the dam. The
trench should be at least two feet deep and two feet wide with 1:1
side slopes.
4. Clear the pond area below the elevation of the crest of the spiilw:ty to
facilitate sediment clean -out.
5. All cut and fill slopes should be 2:1 or flatter.
6. Ensure that the stone (drainage) section of the embankment has a minimll'in
bottom width of three feet and maximum side slopes of 1:1 that extend to
the bottom of the spillway section.

11. Stabilize the embankment and all disturbed areas above the sediment pool
and downstream from the trap immediately after construction.
12: Mark the distance from the top of the spillway to the sediment clean -out
level (one-half the design depth) in the field.
ivlainfenance
Inspect temporary sediment traps after each period of significant rainfall. Remove
sediment and restore the trap to its original dimensions when the sediment has
accumulated to one-half the design depth of the trap. Place the sediment that is removed
in the designated disposal area and replace the contaminated part of tile gravel facing.
Check the structure for damage for erosion or piping. Periodically check the depth
of the spillway to ensure it is a nnnllmun] of 1.5 feet below the low point of the
embankment. I.mn:,ediately fill any' settlement of the embankment slightly. above design
grade.. Any riprap displaced from the spillway must be replaced immediately.
After all sediment -producing areas have been permanently stabilized, remove the
structure and all unstable sediment. Smooth the area to blend with the. adjoining areas and
stabilize properly.

NARRATIVE
■
■ Site Description
State Route 1142 (Elkin Wildlife Road) is located just east of Elkin, North
Carolina. SR1142 runs north -south and connects Highway 268 and C.C. Camp Road.
1 (Refer to the Vicinity Map on the cover of the design plans).
SR1142 currently bisects Vulcan Materials Company's (VMC's) Elkin Quarry.
VMC proposes to relocate SRI 142 in order to increase public safety while gaining access
' to reserves on the western side of their property. The North Carolina Department of
Transportation and the Sorry County Commissioners have already approved the
relocation. (Refer to Appendix D for approvals).

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
■
' The erosion and sediment control principles for this project are to simply convey
runoff and to collect and treat any sediment laden runoff prior to discharge from the site.
' The North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual has been
adhered to and used for guidance during the development of this plan. All structures are
desimied based on a minimum 25 year-24 hour storm event and some structures are based
ton the 100-year, 24-hour storm event.
The main erosion and sediment control structures for this nroiect are rock dams,
conveyance channels, and culverts with outlet protection. Silt fence (Practice 6.62) will be
' used in isolated instances where land disturbance is minimal and the time duration is short.
Slope drains (Practice 6.32) will be utilized in the stockpile areas during the active life of
' the facility and temporary sediment traps (Practice 6.60) have been included in the design,
in case, the need may arise for a temporary measure during construction.
' Appendices A and B contain the runoff computations.
' •Peak Runoff
' Runoff is computed using the rational method, Q—CiA where:
Q = Peak rate of runoff in CPS
C = Runoff Coefficient
i = Intensity of rainfall in inches/hour
' A = Drainage area in acres
The rmmff coefficient, C, for this project was chosen to be 0.50 due to the nature
of mining operations and the disturbance duration. Assuming C = 0.50 throughout all the
design calculations is a conservative measure which adds factor of safety to the drainage
structures. Some structures, where no disturbance is proposed, compute C by weighted
average.

' A short time of concentration, five minutes, is assumed for all drainage areas.
' This is another conservative assumption which adds additional factor of safety.
*Rock Dam (Practice 6.63)
Rock dams are utilized on the project to treat sediment laden runoff prior to
tdischarge from the sight. The basin volumes are based on 1800 cubic feet of storage for
each acre of drainage area. (Rock Dams 002 and 003 are exceptions, they are sized based
' on disturbed drainage area.) The spillways are sized to pass the 25 year - 24 hour storm.
The embankments have a minimum width of 5 feet with the upstream slope at 2:1 and the
downstream slope at 3:1. Embankments shall be underlain by a 2 foot by 2 foot cutoff
e trench. The rock embankment shall be constructed of stone with a minimum d50 — 9" and
' the upstream face shall be covered with a NCDOT #57 stone filter layer.
Trap efficiency has been designed so as to prevent short circuits from inlets to
' outlets and the detention time is at least 8 hours. The surface area is sized to provide 0.01
acres per CFS of runoff.
' •Conveyance Channels (Practice 6.30 and 6.31)
■ The conveyance channels are sized based on the 25 year - 24 hour storm. The
i channel dimensions are evaluated for capacity and velocity (based on the design retardance
class). Then they are evaluated at a retardance class one higher than design to account for
vegetative growth and debris build-up. Once the dimensions are established then the
temporary lining is designed. Channel linings for this project are grass, riprap and one
steep slope channel is grouted riprap, The grass lined ditches have temporary linings of
' either jute net, straw with net or synthetic mat. Channel linings are designed using the
Tractive Force Procedure.
e
Culverts
The ' The culverts are designed to pass the flow from a 25 year - 24 hour storm. Culvert
designs are based on Manning's "n" values for corrugated metal pipe. The design
procedure consists of computing both the inlet control flow and the pipe control flow to
determine which is the critical parameter. Once the critical parameter determined then the
' culvert is sized to prevent overtopping of the inlet embankment by the design storm.
��' ��

Rock riprap energy dissipators (Practice 6.41) are designed for the pipe outlets to
prevent excessive erosion.
' .Temporary Seeding (Practice 6. 10)
' Temporary seeding is to be applied to all disturbed areas where work is delayed for
a period of more than 30 days but not more than one year.
' *Permanent Seeding (Practice 6.11)
Q Permanent seeding is to be applied on areas which have been brought to final grade
or areas which are rough graded and will not be brought to final grade within a year or
more.
t•Vegetative Screen -Trees, Shrubs Vines and Ground Covers (Practice 6.13)
' Trees, shrubs, vines and ground covers shall be used in areas where a vegetative
screen is necessary. And existing vegetation does not exist.
i.Land Grading (Practice 6.02)
' All cut and fill slopes in unconsolidated material will be no steeper than 2:1 with a
10 foot horizontal bench at each 30 foot elevation interval. Cut slopes will be fine graded
' immediately after rough grading and will be vegetated according to the Vegetation Plan.
As the disposal areas are created, the material shall be placed in even layers and
' compacted. Vegetative measures shall be applied according to the Vegetation Plan and
the regulations set forth for temporary and permanent seeding.
1 •Tree Preservation and Protection (Practice 6.05)
Trees and other vegetation will be preserved as much as possible for their
screening, landscape and erosion protection value.

VEGETATIVE SCREEN - TREES AND SHRUBS (Practice 6.02)
Construction Specifications
Trees
Planting bare -root tree seedlings -Bare -root seedlings should be handled only
while dormant in late winter, early spring, or after leaf fall in autumn. Availability of stock -
usually limits planting to winter or spring. Store packages of seedlings in a shaded
location out of the wind. If it is necessary to store moss -packed seedlings for more than
two weeks, add one pint of water per package. Do not add water to clay -treated
seedlings.
Do not allow roots to dry during planting by carrying seedlings exposed to air and
sun. Keep moss -packed seedlings in a container packed with wet moss or filled with thick
muddy water. Cover clay -treated seedling vAith vet burlap.
With a tree planting bar or spade, make a notch deep enough to accommodate the
roots. Place the roots in the notch to tine same depth as in the nursery, then firm soil
around roots by pressing the notch closed. Water immediately and mulch the area within
2 ft. of the plant. Several weeks after planting, broadcast a handful of 10-10-10 fertilizer
around each plant, at least 1 ft. from the base.
On large sites where slopes are not prohibitive bare -root seedlings can be
efficiently planted in furrows usung a tractor -drawn vegetable transplanter.
Planting balled-and-burlapped or container -grown trees -Late fall (Nov. -Dec.)
is the preferred planting time for deciduous trees and evergreens, although they may be
planted year-round. Avoid summer planting.
Keep the soil around the roots moist until planting. Branches should be bound
with soft rope to prevent damage during transport.
Each planting hole must be deep and wide enough to allow proper placement of
the root ball. Ideally, the hole should be twice the size of the root ball. When digging the
hole, keep topsoil separate from subsoil. If the subsoil is high in clay, allow extra room

1
1 (one-half again the heist of the root ball). Back -fill the hole with enough topsoil or peat
moss to position the base of the tree at the same level as in the nursery.
If the plant is in a container, carefully remove it, taking the soil surrounding the
' roots with it. This may require cutting the container. Loosen the twine and burlap at the
top of balled-and-burlapped plants and check to make sure that no other wrapping is
present before planting.
Before replacing subsoil, mix it with one-third peat moss or well -rotted manure.
Baclfall the hole, firming the soil as it is replaced, and leave a depression around the trunk
within the excavated area to hold water. Cover the base of the trunk to the same level as
' before it was removed. Water thoroughly and rewater as necessary to keep the roots
moist.
1
Stake small trees with vertical stakes driven into the ground, just beyond the root
' ball. Secure large trees with guy wires. Cushion wire, where it contacts the tree, with
rubber hose. Wrap the trunks of young trees to protect them from sunburn and pests.
i
Fertilize trees in late fall or early spring, before leaves emerge. Using a
punchbar, crowbar, or auger, make holes IS inches deep and about 2 feet apart around the
drip line of each tree. Distribute the fertilize evenly among the holes to bring it in contact
with tree roots, and close.
Shrubs
Obtaining shrubs -Shrubs are normally planted as bare -root stock or container -
grown plants. Container -grown seedlings, 1 year old, are usually recommended for their
ease of planting, and cost.
Planting is best done in early fall or early spring. Follow the general procedures
for tree care and planting.

Maintenance
Maintenance requirements depend on the particular shrub. In all cases watering is
important in getting plants established. Once established, fertilizing every 3 years is
generally sufficient. A heavy layer of mulch around the base of each plant reduces weeds
and retains moisture. Mulch may consist of woodchips, sawdust, pine needles, or straw.

CONVEYANCE CHANNELS (Practice 6.30 and 6.31)
Construction Specification
Grass -Lined Channel
1. Remove all trees, brush, stumps, and other objectionable material for the
foundation area and dispose of properly.
2. Excavate the channel and shape it to an even cross section as designed.
When staking, indicate a 0.2 feet over cut around the channel perimeter for
silting and bulking.
3. Grade soil away from channel so that surface water may enter freely.
4. Place temporary linings and apply lime, fertilizer, and seed the channel and
adjoining areas in accordance the vegetation plan.
Riprap Channels
1. Clear the foundation area of trees, stumps, roots, loose rock, and other
objectionable material.
2. Excavate the channel and shape it to an even cross section as designed wit
a lining thickness of 1.5 times the d50 riprap size.
3. Place filters and beddings to line and grade immediately after slope
preparation in the manner specified.
4. The filter layer will be a minimum of six inches thick with size code NC
No. 57.
5. Perform all channel construction to keep erosion and water pollution to a
minimunL
6. Unmediately upon completion of the channel, vegetate all disturbed areas
or otherwise protect them against soil erosion.

Maintenance
Inspect channels at regular intervals as well as after major rains, and make repairs
promptly. Give special attention to the outlet and inlet sections and other points where
concentrated flow enters. Carefully check stability at road crossings and look for
indications of piping, scour holes, or bank failures. Make repairs immediately. Maintain
all vegetation adjacent to the channel in a healthy, vligorous condition to protect the area
from erosion and scour during out -of -bank flow.

1
SLOPE DRAL 1S (Practice 6.32)
Construction Specification
A common failure of slope drains is caused by water saturating the soil and seeping
along the pipe. This creates voids from consolidation and piping and causes washouts.
Proper backfilling around and under the pipe "haunches" with stable soil material and hand
compacting in 6-inch lifts to achieve firm contact between the pipe and the soil at all
points will eliminate this type of failure.
1. Place slope drains on undisturbed soil or well compacted fill at locations and
elevations shove on the plans.
2. Slightly slope the section of pipe under the dike toward its outlet.
3. Hand tamp the soil under and around the entrance section in lifts not to exceed 6
inches.
4. Ensure that fill over the drain at the tope of the slope has minimum dimensions of
1.5 ft. depth, 4 ft. top width, and I I side slopes.
S. Ensure that all slope drain connections are watertight.
6. Ensure that all fill material is well -compacted. Securely fasten the exposed section
of the drain. with grommets or stakes spaced no more than 10 ft. apart.
7. Ex -tend the drain beyond the toe of the slope and adequately protect the outlet
from erosion.
�. Make the settled, compacted dire ridge no less than 1 ft. above the top of the pipe
at every point.
9. Immediately stabilize all disturbed areas following construction.
Maintenance
Inspect the slope drain and supporting, diversion after every rainfall and promptly
make necessary repairs. When the protected area has been permanently stabilized,
temporary measures may be removed, materials disposed of properly and all disturbed
areas stabilized appropriately.

1
OUTLET STABILIZATION STRUCTURE (Practice 6.41)
Construction Specifications
1. Ensure that the subgrade for the filter and riprap follows the required lines and
grades shown in the plan. Compact any fill required in the subgrade to the density
of the surrounding undisturbed waterial. How areas in the subgrade on
undisturbed soil may also be filled by increasing the riprap thickness.
2. The riprap and gravel filter must conform to the specified grading limits shown on
the plans.
3. Filter cloth, when used, must meet designrequirements and be properly protected
from punching or tearing duriug installation. Repair any damage by removing the
riprap and placing another piece of filter cloth over the damaged area. All
colluecting joints should overlap a minimum of 1 ft. If the damage is extensive,
replace the entire filter cloth.
4. Riprap may be placed by equipment, but take care to avoid damaging the filter.
5. The minimum thickness of the riprap should be 1.5 times the maximum stone
diameter.
6. Riprap may be field stone or rough quarry stone. It should be hard, angular, highly
weather -resistant and well graded.
7. Construct the apron on zero grade with no overfall at the end. Make the top of
the riprap at the downstream end level with the receiving area or slightly below it.

straight throughout its length. If a curve is needed to fit site conditions, place it in
the upper section of the apron.
9. Immediately after construction, stabilize all disturbed areas with vegetation
(Practices 6.10, Temporary Seeding, and 6.11, Permanent Seeding).
Maintenance
Inspect riprap outlet structures after heavy rains to see if any erosion around or
below the riprap has taken place or if stones have been dislodged. Immediately make all
needed repairs to prevent further damage.

TEMPORARY SEDJTvIENT "TRAPS (Practice 6.60)
Construction Specifications
1. Clear, grub, and strip the area under the embankment of all vegetation and
root mat. Remove all surface soil containing high amounts of organic
matter anrd ctnrl-nila nr rdicrnrico of it nrnnardv
2. Ensure that fill material for the embankment is fee of roots, woody
vegetation, organic matter, and other objectionable material. Place the fill
in iiifts not to exceed nine inches and machine compact it. Over -nil the
embankment six inches to allow for settlement.
3. Construct the outlet section in the embankment. Protect the connection
between the riprap and the soil from piping by using filter fabric or a
keyway cutoff trench between the riprap structure and the soil.
* Place the filter fabric between the riprap and soil. Extend the fabric
across the spillway foundation and sides to the top of the dam; or
* Excavate a keyway trench along the centerline of the spillway
foundation extending up the sides o the height of the dam_ The
trench should be at least two feet deep and two feet wide with 1:1
side slopes.
4. Clear the pond area below the elevation of the crest of the spillway to
facilitate sediment clean -out.
5. All cut and fill slopes should be 2:1 or flatter.
6. Ensure that the stone (drainage) section of the embankment has a minimum
bottom width of three feet and maximum side slopes of 1:1 that extend to
the bottom of the spillway section.
7. Construct the minimum finished stone spillway bottom width, as shown oil
the plans, with 2.1 side slopes extending to the tope of the over -filled
embankment. Keep the thickness of the sides of the spillway outlet
structure at a minimum of 21 inches. The weir must be level and
constructed to grade to assure design capacity.
8. Material used in the stone section should be a well -graded mixture of stone
with a d50 size of nine inches (Class B erosion control stone is
recommended) and a maximum stone size of 14 inches. The stone may be
machine placed and the smaller stone worked into the voids of the larger
stones. The stone should be hard, angular, and higltly weather resistant.

9. Ensure that the stone spillway outlet section extends downstream past the
toe of the embankment zero grade Nvith length equal to spillway height.
Also ensure that drainage flows in the direction indicated on the plan
sheet. Keep the edges of the stone outlet section flush with the
surrounding ground and shape the center to confine the outflow stream.
10. Direct emergency bypass to natural, stable areas. Locate bypass outlets so
that flow will not damage the embankment.
1 I. Stabilize the embankment and all disturbed areas above the sediment pool
and downstream from the trap immediately after construction.
12. Mark the distance from the top of the spillway to the sediment clean -out
level (one-half the design depth) in the field.
Maintenance
Inspect temporary sediment traps after each period of significant rainfall. Remove
sediment and restore the trap to its original dimensions when the sediment has
accmilulated to one-half the design depth of the trap. Place the sediment that is removed
in tite designated disposal area and replace the contaminated part of the gravel facing.
Check the structure for damage for erosion or piping. Periodically check the depth
of the spillway to ensure it is a minimum of 1.5 feet below the low point of the
' embankment. Immediately fill any settlement of the embankment slightly above design
grade. Any riprap displaced from the spillway must be replaced immediately.
U
After all sediment -producing areas have been permanently stabilized, remove the
structure and all unstable sediment. Smooth the area to blend with the adjoining areas and
stabilize properly.

4. Support standard strength filter fabric by v ire mesh fastened securely to the upslope
side of the posts using heavy duty wire staples a least 1 inch ton-, or tie wires. Extend
the wire mesh support to the bottom of the trench.
5. When a wire mesh support fence is used, space posts a maximum of 8 ft. apart.
Support posts should be driven securely into the ground to a minimum of 18 inches.
6. Extra strength filter fabric with 6-ft. post spacing does not require wire mesh support
fence. Staple or wire the filter fabric directly to posts.
7. Excavate a trench approximately 4 inches wide and 8 inches deep along the proposed
line of posts and upslope from the barrier.

8. nackriii the trench with compacted soil or gravel placed over the niter fabric.
9. Do not attach filter fabric to existing trees.
Maintenance
Inspect sediment fences at least once a week and after each rainfall. Make any
required repairs immediately.
Should the fabric of sediment fence collapse, tear, decompose or become
ineffective, replace it promptly. Replace burlap every 60 days.
Remove sediment deposits as necessary to provide adequate storage volume for
the next rain and to reduce pressure on the fence. Take care to avoid undermining the
fence during cleanout.

3. Construct the embankment with well -graded rock and gravel to the size and
dimensions shown on the drawings. if it important that rock abutments be at least
2 feet higher than the spillway crest and at least 1 foot higher than the dam, all the
way to the downstream toe, to prevent scour and erosion at the abutments.
4. Sediment -laden water from the construction site should be diverted into the basin
reservoir at the furthest area from the dam.
5. Construct the rock darn before the basin area is cleared to minimize sediment yield
from construction of the basin. Stabilize immediately all areas disturbed during the
construction of the dam except the sediment pool (References: Surface
Stabilization).
6. Safety - Sediment basins should be considered dangerous because they attract
children. Steep side slopes should be avoided. Fences with warning signs may be
needed if trespassing is likely. All state and local requirements must be followed.
Maintenance
Check sediment basins after each rainfall. Remove sediment and restore original
volume when sediment accumulates to about one-half the design volume.
Check the structure for erosion, piping, and rock replacement after each significant
rainstorm and repair immediately.
Remove the structure and any unstable sediment immediately after tll.e construction
site has been permanently stabilized. Smooth the basin site to blend with the surrounding
area and stabilize. All water and sediment should be removed from the basin prior to dam
removal. Sediment should be placed in designated disposal areas and not allowed to flow
into streams or drainage ways during structure removal.

Brashear of Dyno Nobel Inc.., investigation report to Mr. Tracy
Davis of this office dated April 20, 1995. The investigation
report contained information regarding the high air blast recording
associated with the first blast conducted at the quarry on April
19, 1995. An air overpressure measurement of 131 dbl was observed
on the monitor/screen of your company's seismograph .for this blast.
This office has completed its review of the investigation
report prepared by Mr. Brashear. It appears that the
monitor/screen on the seismograph is defective as the tape
evaluated by Geosonics, Inc. revealed an air overpressure
measurement of 125.5 dbl. The second blast conducted on April 19,
1995, using both the tape unit and a more modern electronic unit,
yielded measurements of 117 dbl and 112 dbl, respectively. This
supports the fact that the monitor on the tape unit is likely
defective and may have resulted in a higher than actual airblast
reading.
In any event, this office concurs with the remediation
measures outlined in Mr. Brashear's report. The measures are as
follows:
1) A properly calibrated seismograph, preferably a digital
model, shall be utilized for all future blasts.

Re: Vulcan Construction Materials

Dear Ms. Boyer:

Via FedEx
On June 30, 2015, Vulcan Construction Materials, LP (the "Company") undertook a statutory
conversion to become a limited liability company. Following the conversion, the Company will
continue its legal existence under the name Vulcan Construction Materials, LLC. We do not
anticipate that the conversion will have any impact on the operations, assets or liabilities of the
Company. A copy of the relevant conversion statute is attached to this letter.
Attached you should find:
1. Applicable pages of the mine permit applications for each facility detailing this owner name
change.
2. Reclamation bond / rider with the revised new corporate name.
3. Three checks totaling $2900.00 for the $100.00 processing fee for each permit corporate
name change.
Unless required by your department, Vulcan does not need updated permits for the above sites.
This being the case, Vulcan would like to request a letter acknowledging the name change and
that the permits will remain active and in full force under the new name.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at [phone]
or [phone] (mobile).
Sincerely,
Tony ohnson
Environmental Engineer
