Subject: Hanson Aggregates Southeast LLC — Rocky Mount II Quarry
NC Mine Permit No. 33-13 Mine Modification Application Submittal
Rocky Mount, Edgecombe County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Parr:
Hanson is proposing to provide a 6.79 -acre area for a tenant to install a concrete plant
at its Rocky Mount II Quarry located in Rocky Mount, NC. The proposed area is located in the
northeast corner of the property, along NC Highway 97. The same 6.79 acres were approved by
the Land Quality Section for overburden pile construction on May 24, 20210. The approved
erosion and sediment control measures, temporary sediment traps and level spreaders have
been installed; however, the overburden piles were not constructed. The 7.09-acre Wooten tract
was rezoned on May 9, 2022 to allow the installation of a concrete plant.
To facilitate traffic without affecting the existing quarry and asphalt plant traffic, it will be
necessary to install a driveway from NC Hwy 97. On June 13, 2022, and application prepared
by WithersRavenel was submitted to the NCDOT to install an entrance/exit driveway off of NC
Hwy 97 West to access the proposed concrete plant. On June 28, 2022, the NCDOT issued
Hanson Aggregates Southeast LLC the Driveway Permit No. 410332200039. The proposed site
may be accessed utilizing the existing haul road from the southwest or through the approved
NCDOT entrance driveway from the north.
Visual screening berms have been previously approved, but existing tree growth is
substantial and provides adequate screening from Hwy 97 and our eastern neighbor as well.
Other measures for screening and dust mitigation include:
- The entrance driveway will be concrete or asphalt paved as soon as the plant is
constructed.
- Tenant will wet the concrete plant area and entrance driveway as needed with water
truck, sprinklers, or other means.
- Tenant will ensure trucks are washed as necessary prior exiting the property to
reduce dust and track -out.
- Trees that are in place within the buffers will be maintained to ensure adequate
screening of plant operations.
- Tenant will conduct periodic visual inspections and evaluate the effectiveness of the
dust mitigation and visual screening efforts.

Upon approval of the Hanson mine permit modification, the prospective tenant will
submit a site plan to install a concrete plant with the City of Rocky Mount. The prospective
tenant will be responsible for securing any environmental permits required to operate a concrete
plant.
A complete set of mine maps has been included to reflect the attached mine permit modification
application. Enclosed please find the following:
- 1 (one) original mine application cover letter and 5 (five) copies
- 1 (one) original mine application, project description/calculations, and 5 (five) copies
- 6 (six) copies of the previously approved E&SC calculations for the subject site

HANSON - ROCKY MOUNT II QUARRY
MINING PERMIT NO: 33-13 PERMIT MODIFICATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed mining permit modification project adds a proposed concrete batch plant to the
northeast corner of the existing Rocky Mount II Quarry. To accommodate this plant, a new
driveway connection to NC Hwy 97 is proposed and has been permitted by NC Department of
Transportation (NCDOT). The future concrete plant is schematically drawn on the included
permit modification plans. The final site plan for the concrete plant would be established by the
end -user and would require approval by the local jurisdiction prior to any construction. Industrial
stormwater managements standards will be required by State authorities and will utilize the
previously permitted erosion control measures.
The proposed modifications will require silt fence, the expansion of sediment trap TST1, and the
installation of an 18" pipe with outlet protection to accommodate the new driveway for the
concrete plant. Complete engineering calculations have not been provided at this time as the
concrete plant is schematic in nature and would be provided at time of site plan submittal to the
local jurisdiction.

C. PROTECTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
1. Describe in detail the sequence of events for the development and operation of the mine and reference the sequence
to the mine map(s). Attach additional sheets as needed.
The old pit has already been developed and is currently inactive, while operations are currently taking place in the developed and
active new pit. Reserves from the borrow pit #2 have been removed and replaced with fill.
For this modification, we are requesting that the 6.79 acres that were approved on May 24, 2010 for overburden storage now be
approved to locate a concrete plant. Approved erosion and sediment control measures, temporary sediment traps and level
spreaders, have been installed; however, the overburden piles were not constructed. The 7.09-acre Wooten tract was rezoned on May
9, 2022 to allow the installation of a concrete plant. On June 13, 2022, an application was submitted to the NCDOT to Install an
entrance drive off of NC Hwy 97 West to access the concrete plant. On June 28, 2022, the NCDOT issued Hanson the Driveway
Permit No. 410332200039. The proposed site may be accessed utilizing the existing haul road from the southwest or through the
proposed NCDOT entrance driveway from the north.
2. Describe specific erosion control measures to be installed prior to land disturbing activities and during mining to
prevent offsite sedimentation (include specific plans for sediment and erosion control for mine excavation(s), waste
piles, access/mine roads, and process areas), and give a detailed sequence of installation and schedule for
maintenance of the measures. Locate and label all sediment and erosion control measures on the mine map(s) and
provide typical cross-sections/construction details of each measure. Engineering designs and calculations are required
to justify the adequacy of any proposed measures.
Erosion and sediment control measures were designed to treat stormwater run-off from
the entire subject 6.79-acre area using the 25-year, 24-hour storm event calculations.
The attached NCDOT driveway permit shows the construction sequencing for the
driveway entrance and the installation erosion and sediment control required.
Construction of the concrete plant will start when a site plan has been approved by the
City of Rocky Mount.
3. A) Will the operation involve washing the material mined, recycling process water, or other wastewater handling?
FIYES FX]NO
If yes, briefly describe all such processes including any chemicals to be used.
The current mine permit is already approved for washing mined material, recycling
process water, as well as mine dewatering, but this modification does not involve
mining materials; it involves installing a concrete plant. General NPDES Stormwater
Permit(s) from the DEMLR will be secured by the tenant concrete plant owner to
regulate any wastewater handling and stormwater run-off from the concrete plant.
B) Will the operation involve discharging fresh or wastewater from the mine or plant as a point discharge to the waters
of the State?
YES �NO
If yes, briefly describe the nature of the discharge and locate all proposed discharge points (along with their method of
stabilization) on the mine map(s).
This modification does not involve mining materials; it involves installing a
concrete plant. General NPDES Stormwater Permit(s) from the DEMLR will be
secured by the tenant concrete producer to regulate any wastewater handling
and stormwater run-off from the concrete plant. The proposed discharge point is
marked on the attached mine maps.

C) Will any part of the proposed mine excavation(s) extend below the water table?
YES FX NO
If yes, do you intend to dewater the excavation(s)?
F � YES I NO
Estimated withdrawal rate in gallons per day:
If yes, what impact, if any, will mine dewatering have on neighboring wells? Locate all existing wells on the mine
map(s) that lie within 500 feet of the proposed excavation area. Provide data to support any conclusions or statement
made, including any monitoring well data, well construction data, and current water withdrawal rates. Indicate whether
the proposed mine locale is served by a public water system or private wells.
NIA for the proposed concrete plant operation; no mine excavation planned.
For the existing mine operations, the crushed stone production process requires water for washing the sized stone products at the wash screen to
remove dust and fines for the eventual use in asphalt and ready mix concrete. The water is recycled through a closed circuit process water settling
pond system.
Water is also used for dust control at the facility. Water Is used at the processing plants by Introduction through sprays at crushers and at conveyor
transfer points to control dust emissions. It is also used In the water truck to control dust emanating from haul roads, stockpiles, and the shot rock pile In
the pit. Water used In dust suppression is usually pulled either from the quarry dewatering or from the secondary settling/fresh water pond.
No impact to wells within 500 feet of the quarries have been reported.
D) If you answered yes to any of the above questions, provide evidence that you have applied for or obtained the
appropriate water quality permit(s) (i.e., non -discharge, NPDES, Stormwater, etc.) from the Stormwater Program. In
addition, the applicant is required to register water use with the Division of Water Resources, Ground Water
Management Branch, if the operation withdraws more than 10,000 gallons per day and needs a capacity use permit
from the Division of Water Resources, Ground Water Management Branch, if the operation lies in a capacity use area
and withdraws more than 100,000 gallons per day.
The Rocky Mount Quarry operates under the NPDES COC No. NCG020121
issued by the NCDMLR. Hanson maintains a Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use
Area (CCPCUA) Permit No. CU3030 and is permitted to withdraw 4,320,000 GPD.
The tentant concrete producer will be responsible for securing its own
environmental permits before operating a concrete plant.
4. A) Will the operation involve crushing or any other air contaminant emissions?
YES FX]NO
If yes, indicate evidence that you have applied for or obtained an air quality permit issued by the Division of Air Quality
or local governing body.
The proposed concrete plant will not involve crushing. The tenant concrete producer
will be responsible for securing any required air permits for a concrete plant.
The existing mine operations do involve crushing and other sources of fugitive
emissions under NC Air Permit No. 3285.
B) How will dust from stockpiles, haul roads, etc., be controlled?
The proposed concrete operation will use water trucks or spray nozzles to wet the
yard and roadways. Concrete trucks will be washed as needed to reduce fugitive
dust emissions.
For the existing mine operations, a water truck is used to wet the haul roads, muck
piles, and stockpiles as needed to control fugitive emissions from these sources.

5. A) A buffer will be required between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way. It may be an
unexcavated buffer (no excavation, but roadways, berms, and erosion & sedimentation control measures may be
installed within it), an undisturbed buffer (no disturbance within the buffer whatsoever), or a combination of the two,
depending upon the site conditions. Note that all buffers must be located within the mining permit boundaries.
How wide a buffer will be maintained between any mining activity and any mining permit boundary or right-of-way at
this site? A minimum buffer of 25 feet is recommended, although a wider buffer may be needed depending on site
conditions. Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine map(s).
For the proposed concrete plant, a 25-ft undisturbed and 50-ft unexcavated buffer is planned from the NC Hwy 97 ROW, north of the
plant. A 25-ft undisturbed buffer is planned along the east boundary line due to its already substantial tree growth. The existing 50-ft
unexcavated buffer along the south property line, which is parallel to the river, will remain the same. A buffer is not planned for the
west boundary line because Hanson owns both sides, and all the acreage is already included in the mine permit. Buffers total to 1.56
acres and are clearly stated on the submitted mine maps.
For the existing mine operations, it is anticipated that a minimum 50 foot undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any mining
activity and existing property line or highway right of way. An additional 50 foot unexcavated buffer will be maintained and may include
visual screening via visual berm or tree plantings. Buffer locations and widths can be viewed on the attached mine maps.
B) A minimum 50 foot wide undisturbed buffer will be required between any land disturbing activities within the mining
permit boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands unless smaller undisturbed buffers can be justified.
Depending on site conditions, a buffer wider than 50 feet may be needed.
How wide an undisturbed buffer will be maintained between any land disturbing activities within the mining permit
boundaries and any natural watercourses and wetlands at this site? Show all buffer locations and widths on the mine
map(s).
The attached plans show specific details relevant to buffers at each location. A
200-foot riparian buffer will be maintained.
6. A) Describe methods to prevent landslide or slope instability adjacent to adjoining permit boundaries during mining.
Minimum 2 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or flatter for clayey material and minimum 3 horizontal to 1 vertical slopes or
flatter for sandy material are generally required unless technical justification can be provided to allow steeper slopes.
The 6.79 acre proposed area for the concrete plant is relatively flat, and no berms are planned unless it
becomes more desirable to install visual screening berms rather than utilizing the existing, well established
trees.
For the existing mine operations, to prevent landslides and/or slope failure adjacent to adjoining properties,
cut slopes will be graded no steeper than 1-1/2 to 1, and fill slopes will be graded no steeper than 2:1, and
proper compaction procedures will be utilized. All slopes will be stabilized by seeding as soon as possible
after grading has been completed. Necessary erosion controls will be used to prevent slope failure by
concentrated stormwater runoff. Excavation or fill will not generally occur within 100' or 50' respectively of
any adjoining property boundary or right of way except for the installation of visual screen berms.
B) Provide a cross-section on the mine map(s) for all fill slopes (berms, waste piles, overburden disposal areas, etc.),
clearly indicating the intended side slope gradient, installation of any benches andlor slope drains (with supporting
design information) if needed, and the method of final stabilization.

C) In excavation(s) of unconsolidated (non -rock) materials, specify the angle of all cut slopes including specifications
for benching and sloping. Cross -sections for all cut slopes must be provided on the mine map(s).
Excavation is not planned for the concrete plant.
For the existing mine operations, the maximum slope within the pit excavations will be 1-1/2 to 1 in
unconsolidated overburden with a 20-foot wide safety bench at the rock/unconsolidated overburden interface.
D) In hardrock excavations, specify proposed bench widths and heights in feet. Provide cross sections of the mine
excavation clearly noting the angles of the cut slopes, widths of all safety benches and mine benches, and the
expected maximum depth of the excavation.
No hardrock excavations are planned for the proposed 6.79-acre concrete plant.
For the existing mine operations, at the Rocky Mount Quarry, the slope in hard rock has historically been % to 1 with no
bench. This slope has been adequate throughout the history of this site since the deposit is relatively uniform and does
not have a tendency to slide. In accordance with the previous mine permit, In the Old (East) Pit, a minimum 5' safety
bench has been left for every 35' of vertical height in all rock excavations since September 2002. It is typical of our
operations currently to leave a 15' wide safety bench for every 35' of vertical height
7. Describe other methods to be taken during mining to prevent physical hazard to any neighboring dwelling, house,
public road, or public, commercial or industrial building from any mine excavation. Locate all such structures on the
mine map if they are within 300 feet of any proposed excavation.
For the proposed 6.79-acre concrete plant area, hardrock excavations are not planned.
Sufficient buffers and proper berm construction ensure minimum impact to adjoining
property owners.
8. Describe what kind of barricade will be used to prevent inadvertent public access along any high wall area and when it
will be implemented. Vegetated earthen berms, appropriate fencing and adequate boulder barriers may be acceptable
high wall barricades. A construction detaftross-section and location of each type of barricade to be used must be
indicated on the mine map(s).
For the proposed 6.79-acre concrete plant area, there are no high walls planned. For security, 6-ft chain link fencing with 3 strands of
barb wire have already been installed on the north, east, and west property lines, and Hanson owns the western boundary.
For existing mine operations, 6-ft chain link fencing with 3 strands of barb wire has already been installed on 3 sides of the new pit,
with the 4th side bound by the river. For the old pit, 6-ft chain link fencing has already been installed along side the road, while the
plant and river adjoin the remainder of the pit.
Access to the property Itself is restricted by gates and cables that are kept locked when the quarry is not in operation. Berms and
overburden disposal areas also block access to much of the site and inactive highwalls. During the life of the quarry, barricades of
either oversized rock or concrete are used adjacent to active highwalls and are relocated as the pit is developed.
9. Are acid roducing minerals or soils present?
YES FX1 NO
If yes, how will acid water pollution from the excavation, stockpiles, and waste areas be controlled?

10. A) Describe specific plans (including a schedule of implementation) for screening the operation from public view such
as maintaining or planting trees, bushes or other vegetation, building berms or other measures. Show the location of all
visual screening on the mine maps) and provide cross -sections through all proposed berms or proposed spacing,
sizes and species for tree plantings.
The proposed 6.79-acre concrete plant area is already screened from the road
and its only adjacent neighbor with well established trees. Visual screen berms are
already approved if needed , but tree growth is substantial on the east property
line. Thus, a 25-foot undisturbed buffer is planned.
For the existing operations, visual screen berms are used per mine plan.
B) Could the operation have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a publicly owned park, forest, or
recreation area? If so, how will such effects (i.e., noise, visibility, etc.) be mitigated?
No publicly owned park, forest, or recreation area per se adjoins the Rocky
Mount Quarry properties. Except for a single conveyor crossing the river, the site
is well screened from the Tar River which is frequently used for recreation along
this stretch, and the quarries have little or no impact on this watercourse.
11. Will ex Iosives be used?
YES � NO
If yes, specify the types of explosives) and describe what precaution(s) will be used to prevent physical hazard to
persons or neighboring property from flying rocks or excessive air blasts or ground vibrations. Depending on the mine's
location to nearby structures, more detailed technical information may be required on the blasting program (such as a
third -party blasting study). Locate the nearest offske occupied structures) to the proposed excavations) on the mine
map and indicate its approximate distance to the proposed excavation.
Explosives will not be used in the proposed 6.79-acre concrete plant area.
For the existing mine operations, since blasting is an integral part of this operation, each blast is
monitored with a seismograph to insure that peak particle velocities and peak over pressures
are within the limits established by local, state, and federal authorities. Hanson works closely
with consultants (often Vibratech) to monitor and review each blast and seismographic
recording. Along with the seismograph results, fragmentation and flyrock conditions are
constantly monitored, and the blasting program, including direction of blasting, hole size and
pattern, stemming, etc. are adjusted as needed to insure best and safest results.
12. Will fuel tanks, solvents, or other chemical reagents be stored on -site?
AYES F]NO
If yes, describe these materials, how they will be stored and method of containment in case of spill. Indicate the
locations) of all storage facilities on the mine map(s).
Onsite storage of diesel fuel, gasoline, and various oils and greases is necessary to facilitate the operation of various
equipment needed to produce concrete or mine and process crushed stone aggregates. The bulk storage tanks for diesel
fuel, gasoline, and oils are approved aboveground storage tanks having doublewall or concrete secondary containment.
Any major spill or leak from these tanks would be contained within the containment structures. Greases and other oils are
stored in aboveground storage tanks and 55-gallon drums stored under cover and with adequate containment. Used oil is
collected from equipment and picked up for offsite recycling by properly certified contractors. Empty oil and grease
barrels are returned to the supplier or cleaned and placed into the metal scrap bin for offsite recycling. The Rocky Mount
facility has a Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan that requires monthly inspections of all bulk fuel
and lube storage units. All employees are trained on a regular basis in the proper handling of petroleum products,
managing and cleaning of spills, and proper disposal of rags, absorbent materials, and any contaminated soils.
The tenant concrete producer will need to secure its own SPCC Plan and conduct such inspections.

D. RECLAMATION PLAN
1. Describe your intended plan for the final reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the
sequence and general methods to be used in reclaiming this land. This must include the method of reclamation of
settling ponds and/or sediment control basins and the method of restoration or establishment of any permanent
drainage channels to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution. This information must be illustrated
on a reclamation map and must correspond directly with the information provided on the mine map(s). In addition,
design information, including typical cross -sections, of any permanent channels to be constructed as part of the
reclamation plan and the location(s) of all permanent channels must be indicated on the reclamation map.
Plans are to leave the concrete plant intact.
For the existing mine operations, mine excavations will be allowed to fill with groundwater and stormwater runoff from
adjoining areas once the mining operations are completed. The resulting deep water lake will be used for recreation, and
potentially as a flood control structure and/or fresh water supply. The plant sites, stockpile areas, and overburden
disposal areas will be graded and seeded with grasses suitable for establishment of grasslands and wildlife areas.
Process and pit water settling ponds will be filled and similarly reclaimed to grasslands unless they are a part of the
overall site drainage and reclamation plan.
See attached reclamation drawings for specific details.
2. Is an excavated or impounded body of water to be left as part of the reclamation?
FX-]YES F ]NO
if yes, illustrate the location of the body(s) of water on the reclamation map and provide a scaled cross-section(s)
through the proposed body(s) of water. The minimum water depth must be at least 4 feet, measured from the normal
low water table elevation, unless information is provided to indicate that a shallower water body will be productive and
beneficial at this site.
Will the body(s) of water be stocked with fish?
YES FX]NO
If yes, specify species.
For the proposed 6.79-acre concrete plant area, an excavated or impounded body of water will not
be left; only the functioning channel ditches.
For the existing mine operations, it is Hanson's intent to convert the two quarries into fresh water
lakes upon completion of mining activities. In addition, the detention pond in the overburden
disposal area east of the Old (East) Pit plant site will remain.
3. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all completed excavations in rock including what
kind of permanent barricade will be left. Acceptable permanent barricades are appropriate fencing, large boulders
placed end -to -end, etc. Construction details and locations of all permanent barricades must be shown on the
reclamation map.
There will be no rock excavations on the proposed concrete plant area, but for security
reasons, the property has been fenced on 3 sides with 6-ft chain link fencing with 3 strands of
barb wire.
For the existing mine operations, as a safety precaution, a 20-foot wide safety bench will be left
at the rock/unconsolidated soil interface. Permanent fencing will be finished around the
completed quarries to prevent unauthorized entry, and danger signs will be posted at regular
intervals along the fence to warn folks of the open pits.

4. Indicate the method(s) of reclamation of overburden, refuse, spoil banks or other such on -site mine waste areas,
including specifications for benching and sloping. Final cross -sections and locations for such areas must be provided
on the reclamation map.
There are no plans to Install overburden plies on the 6.79-acre proposed concrete plant area unless plans change to install visual screening
berms.
For the existing mine operations, as overburden is placed in designated areas, tt is spread and compacted by dozer and haul units. Slopes in
waste areas will be graded 2:1 or flatter and vegetated as soon as possible to prevent erosion. Erosion control measures and runoff conveyances
will be established as the wastepile develops and then maintained throughout the process until final reclamation is achieved. Drainage on top of
the waste areas will be established to prevent pooling and stagnation of water and to control runoff. Final reclamation of waste areas will include
final top and slope dressing as required followed by seeding In accordance with the attached revegetation plan.
See attached drawings for specific detail.
S. A) Describe reclamation of processing facilities, stockpile areas, and on -site roadways.
Plans are to leave the proposed concrete plant intact.
For the existing mine operations, Reclamation in these areas will occur as follows. First, the product stockpiles will be sold down. Then the
processing plants will be dismantled and removed from the site. Any remaining piles, waste piles, and areas graded for plant layout and
operation (including ramps to the primary stations) will be graded 2:1 maximum slope but generally 3:1 or flatter. Finally, these areas will be
scarified and seeded according to the revegetation plan. Any site access roads not utilized in the end use development plan will be treated
in the same manner.
Any erosion control structures in these areas to be incorporated into the end use development of the site will be cleaned out and left in good
working condition.
6) Will any on -site roadways be left as part of the reclamation?
FX]YES FINO
if yes, identify such roadways on the reclamation map and provide details on permanent road and ditch line
stabilization.
Plans are to leave the proposed concrete plant and entrance driveway intact.
For the existing mine operations, the main roads into the Old (East) Pit plant
area and the New (West) Pit will remain for access purposes and will be
stabilized by rock surfacing.
6. Describe the method of control of contaminants and disposal of scrap metal, junk machinery, cables, or other such
waste products of mining. (Note definition of refuse in The Mining Act of 1971.)
No off -site generated waste shall be disposed of on the mine site without prior written approval from the NC
Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources and either the Division
of Waste Management (DWM) or local governing body. If a disposal permit has been issued by DWM for the
site, a copy of said permit must be attached to this application. All temporary and permanent refuse disposal
areas must be clearly delineated on the mine maps) and reclamation map, along with a list of items to be disposed in
said areas.
For the existing mine operations and the proposed concrete plant, as previously
approved, temporary scrap and used equipment storage areas have and will be
developed. The scrap material and used equipment which accumulate as a
result of mining and processing activities are stored in these areas until sold to
an independent recycling contractor.
A scrap bin is maintained on site for disposal by recycling of small metal scrap.
Tires are recycled through the various tire suppliers.
