We at Ararat Rock Products Co. would like to make a modification to our Eden Quarry mining permit.
The modification request includes the addition of 16.8 acres to the Southeast of our current permit
boundary in the direction of the town of Eden. This proposed acreage will be used for the expansion of
our current Eden Quarry West Pit. Our current consumption rates dictate that we must uncover new
reserves in order to supply demand. We do believe that at this point the material and information that
we will be providing you in this permit will satisfy the department's request. We appreciate the help
that we received from you and some of your associates regarding this matter, the information that we
gained was very helpful. In reference to the letter sent to us on February 25 2020, please review the
following documents regarding the concerns and additional material and information required for the
approval of our mine modification.
To best of my knowledge, our mining operations and the activities proposed in our mine
modification request should in no way hinder or damage the wildlife in or around our quarry. We have
not and will strive not to damage or cause harm to the area's wildlife or its habitat. As a matter of fact,
we have on the mine property a large, healthy wildlife population that includes Whitetail deer, wild
turkeys, coyotes, black bear and several ponds teaming with fish. In regards to the concerns of NC
Wildlife Resources, we requested a site visit so the department could evaluate the site and provide its
own recommendations. Please review the attached comments from the Wildlife Department visit. We
will certainly consider their recommendations in regards to the type of vegetative mix for the buffer.
Our future reclamation plans include turning the mine pit into a lake for aquatic wildlife and providing
habitat and conducive conditions for the local wildlife populations.
I have also attached copies of the signed return certified mail receipts where we have notified
the adjoining land owner and the County Manager. Also please note that we have modified the overall
general mine map to include all the existing and proposed stockpiles, roads, processing areas, mine .
excavation limits etc. We have also included the wetlands, buffers and waterways as well as -an updated
acreage chart.
All the additional erosion and sediment control issues that were listed are addressed accordingly
on the updated erosion/sediment control maps and the attached Calculations and Hydrological Model
Routing (Phase 1 and 2). In reference to the activities and operation of our requested mine modification,
there will be no effect on the environment outside of our permit boundary from sediment erosion. The
manner that we shall remove the overburden will dictate that all sediment shall flow through the catch
basin or will drain internally once overburden is removed.
I hope that our preparation of the information required by your department is in all ways
adequate and easy to interpret. I also hope that our hard work and attention to detail is evident in the
material provided. I would like to thank you in advance for the expedient and fair manner with which I
feel sure your departments will process our application.
Sincerely,_ RECEIVED

FROM: Olivia Munzer
Western Piedmont Coordinator

DATE: 30 March 2020
SUBJECT: Site Visit at Eden Quarry — Ararat Rock Products Company, Rockingham County, North
Carolina. Permit No. 79-07.
On 13 February 2020, Olivia Munzer with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) provided comments to the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) regarding the permit modification for the Eden Quarry
located in Eden, Rockingham County, North Carolina. These comments were provided in accordance
with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982) (G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
Ms. Munzer used aerial photography, topographic maps, and Natural Heritage Data for the permit review.
The site appeared mostly forested, and it flows to an unnamed tributary to Dry Creek. Dry Creek flows
into Cascade Creek in the Roanoke River basin. Downstream of the site are known records of the federal
and state endangered James spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) and Roanoke logperch (Percina rex) and
state endangered green floater (Lasmigona subviridis). We have known records for the federal and state
endangered smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata); state special concern Carolina birdfoot-trefoil
(Acmispon hellen) and American barberry (Berberis canadensis); and the state significantly rare
southeastern bold goldenrod (Solidago rigida var. glabrata) near the site. For these reasons, NCWRC
had concerns for the direct and indirect impacts the mining operation would have on federal and state -
listed species.
Ararat Rock Products Company (Ararat) contacted Ms. Munzer in response to her comments provided to
DEMLR. On 16 March 2020, Ms. Munzer visited the area proposed for addition to the Eden Quarry. At
the time of the site visit, the site had been cleared and seeded (see Photograph 1). Minimal water was
flowing into the culvert located along the west side of the access road to the mine. Ararat had constructed
a rock pipe inlet protection structure around the culvert (see Photographs 1 & 2). On the east side of the
mine access road and railroad tracks, a plunge pool occurs at the culvert outlet. Based upon a cursory
glance, it appears that surface water likely accesses the unnamed tributary to Dry Creek only during
higher flows (see Photograph 3).

Eden Quarry Modification
Permit No. 79-07
Based upon the site visit and the current condition at the site, it is unlikely the project will have a
significant impact rare, threatened, or endangered aquatic species and other aquatic resources if erosion
and sediment control measures conform to the High Quality Water Zones standards stipulated in the NC
Department of Environmental Quality Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
(https:Hdeg.nc.gov/about/di visions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energv-m ineral-land-perm it-
guidance/erosion-sediment-control-planning design -manual).
We also suggest the following recommendations.
1. At the time of the visit, the soil around the rock pipe inlet protection structure was not vegetated. Due
to the presence of federal and state listed species downstream of the project, we recommend a 50-foot
buffer of native vegetation buffer planted around the culvert to reduce sediment transport and
pollutants in stormwater runoff. A vegetated buffer can minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial
wildlife resources, water quality, and aquatic habitat downstream of the site.
2. Native plants are preferred and recommended for revegetation and reclamation activities. Non-native
plants should be removed from the seeding schedule. Shrub lespedeza and sericea lespedeza are
invasive and/or non-native and should be avoided. Consider an alternative mix of red clover,
creeping red fescue, prairie dropseed, and a grain, such as oats, wheat, or rye. Specifically, this
project would be ideal for planting native, wildflower seed mixes that will create pollinator habitat
within the reclaimed areas. Pollinators are some insects (i.e., bees, moths, and butterflies) and birds
that play an important role in the reproduction of flowering plants, which produce many fruits and
vegetables. Habitat loss, disease, and other environmental changes have caused a decline in
pollinators. Please see the attached list of suitable native plants for revegetation and reclamation.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures should use advanced methods and installed prior to any land -
disturbing activity. The use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control
devices is strongly recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -
weave netting that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and
horizontal twines. Silt fencing that has been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided
as it impedes the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have
detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of
eggs, and clogging of gills.
If I can be of further assistance, please call [phone] or email olivia.munzer Owngwildlife.org.

Determining the Skimmer Size and the Required Orifice for the Faircloth Skimmer® Surface Drain (dick hereto

open
document)
DETERMINING SKIMMER SIZE
• Eight sizes available, ranging from 136" for small sediment traps to 8" for very large basins.
• Size refers to the maximum diameter of the inlet. For example, a 4" Faircloth Skimmero has a
4" maximum orifice size.
• Each Faircloth Skimmer® includes a plugand adjustable cutterfor making an orifice (hole)
smaller than the inlet to customize the flow rate for the particular basin.
METHOD USED
The flow rates used in the calculator and listed in the chart are theoretical rates calculated using
the orifice equation and the head on the inlet for each size skimmer. (Note that the head is
different for each size skimmer.)
Also, the head may vary slightly when the skimmer is in use, plus or minus, depending upon the
depth of water and the position of the skimmer. The actual flow rate for the installed skimmer may
be slightly less than calculated, especially when the barrel has a flat or low slope.
Any variation in flow rate is considered insignificant enough to appreciably affect the drain time
considering the number of variables involved. Therefore, the theoretical rates are used to simplify
the orifice sizing process.

1 Precipitation frequency (PF) estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series (PDS).
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence Interval. The probability that preciplta9on frequency estimates (for
a given duration and average recurrence interval) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lower bound) Is 5%. Estimates at upper bounds are not
checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values. �
Please refer to NOAA Atlas 14 document for more Information.

DATE: 30 March 2020
SUBJECT: Site Visit at Eden Quarry — Ararat Rock Products Company, Rockingham County, North
Carolina. Permit No. 79-07.
On 13 February 2020, Olivia Munzer with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NC WRC) provided comments to the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) regarding the permit modification for the Eden Quarry
located in Eden, Rockingham County, North Carolina. These comments were provided in accordance
with provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982) (G.S. 74-46 through 74-68 15 NCAC 5).
Ms. Munzer used aerial photography, topographic maps, and Natural Heritage Data for the permit review.
The site appeared mostly forested, and it flows to an unnamed tributary to Dry Creek. Dry Creek flows
into Cascade Creek in the Roanoke River basin. Downstream of the site are known records of the federal
and state endangered James spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) and Roanoke logperch (Percina rex) and
state endangered green floater (Lasmigona subviridis). We have known records for the federal and state
endangered smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigala); state special concern Carolina birdfoot-trefoil
(Acmispon helleri) and American barberry (Berberis canadensis); and the state significantly rare
southeastern bold goldenrod (Solidago rigida var. glabrata) near the site. For these reasons, NC WRC
had concerns for the direct and indirect impacts the mining operation would have on federal and state -
listed species.
Ararat Rock Products Company (Ararat) contacted Ms. Munzer in response to her comments provided to
DEMLR. On 16 March 2020, Ms. Munzer visited the area proposed for addition to the Eden Quarry. At
the time of the site visit, the site had been cleared and seeded (see Photograph 1). Minimal water was
flowing into the culvert located along the west side of the access road to the mine. Ararat had constructed
a rock pipe inlet protection structure around the culvert (see Photographs 1 & 2). On the east side of the
mine access road and railroad tracks, a plunge pool occurs at the culvert outlet. Based upon a cursory
glance, it appears that surface water likely accesses the unnamed tributary to Dry Creek only during
higher flows (see Photograph 3).

Eden Quarry Modification
Permit No. 79-07
Based upon the site visit and the current condition at the site, it is unlikely the project will have a
significant impact rare, threatened, or endangered aquatic species and other aquatic resources if erosion
and sediment control measures conform to the High Quality Water Zones standards stipulated in the NC
Department of Environmental Quality Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
(hups:Hdeq. nc.gov/about/divis ions/energy-mineral-land-resources/enerev-m i neral-land-perm it-
guidance/erosion-sediment-control-planning design -manual).
We also suggest the following recommendations.
1. At the time of the visit, the soil around the rock pipe inlet protection structure was not vegetated. Due
to the presence of federal and state listed species downstream of the project, we recommend a 50-foot
buffer of native vegetation buffer planted around the culvert to reduce sediment transport and
pollutants in stormwater runoff. A vegetated buffer can minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial
wildlife resources, water quality, and aquatic habitat downstream of the site.
2. Native plants are preferred and recommended for revegetation and reclamation activities. Non-native
plants should be removed from the seeding schedule. Shrub lespedeza and sericea lespedeza are
invasive and/or non-native and should be avoided. Consider an alternative mix of red clover,
creeping red fescue, prairie dropseed, and a grain, such as oats, wheat, or rye. Specifically, this
project would be ideal for planting native, wildflower seed mixes that will create pollinator habitat
within the reclaimed areas. Pollinators are some insects (i.e., bees, moths, and butterflies) and birds
that play an important role in the reproduction of flowering plants, which produce many fruits and
vegetables. Habitat loss, disease, and other environmental changes have caused a decline in
pollinators. Please see the attached list of suitable native plants for revegetation and reclamation.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures should use advanced methods and installed prior to any land -
disturbing activity. The use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control
devices is strongly recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -
weave netting that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and
horizontal twines. Silt fencing that has been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided
as it impedes the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have
detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of
eggs, and clogging of gills.
