This is a follow up to our conversation from August 2, 1995 in reference to our mining permit renewal.
As I stated to you on the phone, there is a discrepancy in the acreage listed in the original permit and that
which is on the submitted maps. The original permit called for 1050 acres and the tax maps show
1027.14 acres. I believe this discrepancy is due to changes on the maps within the Buncombe County Tax
office but that the tracts originally listed are the same tracts that I have submitted for renewal.
I have enclosed maps detailing the quarry area as well as the plant, stockpiles and settling ponds. I have
also submitted page 14 of the application booklet categorizing affected acreage's and reclamation costs.
I hope that this information will satisfy the requirements for our renewal. but if you need any additional
information please give me a call.
Sincerely,

Dear Beth:
This letter is intended
concerns that you outlined in
regard to renewing our mining
Grove mine.
to help address some of the
a letter dated May 1, 1992 in
permit number 11-01 at our
1. In submitting the acreage to be included under the
permit
I inadvertently listed
acreage owned at this
permit. This shall be
permit renewal and not
listed.
2. I have also included a
application form which
1603 acres. This is the total
site and not what we intend to
1050 acres as listed in our 1982
the 1603 acres that I erroneously
signed copy of page one of the
I failed to sign.
We have no plans to reclaim any areas as bodies of
water. As I stated in the initial permit application, at
this time we intend to allow all settling ponds to fill with
sediment properly sloping and incorporating topsoil and then
seeding for proper vegetative cover. If in the future we
should opt to reclaim any areas as bodies of water, we shall
notify the Land Quality Section and submit the proper
Reclamation Modifications.
After consulting with Albert Hetzell in the Asheville
office of the Solid Waste Section, we have elected to recycle
and or dispose of all solid waste material in proper offsite
disposal areas.

Re: Grove Mine Renewal Request
Mining Permit No. 11-01
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Lamm:
The initial review has been completed on your renewal request
for the mining permit for the Grove Mine in Buncombe County. The
following additional information is needed to complete our review:
1) In reviewing our file, the existing permit covers
approximately 1050 acres. The renewal request is for
1603 acres. Please review your older mine maps and
submit a mine map indicating the acreage currently under
permit and the acreage to be added to the permit. A
modification fee will be required to add the additional
acreage. Please see the fee schedule in the application
form.
2 ) Page one of the attached application form must be signed,
as the submitted application was not signed.
3 ) The mine maps are inadequate. It appears that some areas
that were previously under permit are not being included
in the renewal acreage. You may request that this
Department release from the conditions in your permit any
areas that have been reclaimed. Otherwise, all
previously mined areas must be covered by the permit
(except pre -law areas, mined before 1971). The submitted
maps were very vague and outdated. An overall mine map
must be submitted indicating the permit boundaries and
other major features at a scale of 1"=400' and separate,
more detailed maps must be submitted for the areas of
this permit that are active or are proposed to be active
in the life of the renewal. All features must be clearly
indicated on the mine maps, such as permit boundaries,
buffer zones, rivers, creeks, visual screening, fuel
tanks, etc. Please refer to the items listed on page 17
wulogical Survey Sec tiun I .wd t J11,111 tv tier ty„n ("codeuc titsrvv% lea n, rn

of the application form. In particular, sediment and
erosion control measures and flood control structures
must be located on the maps.
4) It appears that some areas will be reclaimed as bodies of
water. Please revise the reclamation plan to indicate
that water bodies will be a part of reclamation or
indicate how you intend to reclaim areas inundated with
water. A detailed reclamation map is needed for this
site.
5) The renewal application indicates that waste material has
been and will continue to be landfilled within the permit
boundaries. Please provide evidence that you have
applied for and obtained a permit from the Solid Waste
Section with this Department. Also, locate on the mine
maps the areas where landfilling has occurred and will
occur and the Solid Waste Permit boundaries.
6) During the course of our review, comments were solicited
from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
Attached is a copy of their comments. Please incorporate
their revegetation recommendations into your revegetation
plan.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT OUR REVIEW CANNOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL
ALL OF THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE HAVE BEEN FULLY ADDRESSED.
In order to complete the processing of your renewal request,
please forward two (2) copies of the requested information to my

MEMORANDUM
TO: Beth Chesson, Assistant Mining Specialist
Land Quality Section
FROM: Dennis Stewart, Manager
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 6, 1992
SUBJECT: Application for mining permit renewal by B. V. Hedrick
Gravel and Sand Company for the Grove Mine Quarry,
Buncombe County, Mine Permit No. 11-01
Staff field biologists of the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the mining permit
renewal application submitted by B. V. Hedrick Gravel and Sand
Company for the Grove Mine in Buncombe County. A site visit was
conducted with Mr. Curtis Vellano, Plant Superintendent, on March
25, 1992. These comments are provided in accordance with certain
provisions of the Mining Act of 1971 (as amended, 1982; G.S. 74-
46 through 74-68; 15 NCAC 5) and the North Carolina General
Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The applicant is requesting a 10-year permit renewal to mine
crushed stone at a 1603-acre site near Swannanoa in Buncombe
County. A maximum of 80 acres will be disturbed and unreclaimed
at any time during the life of the permit. Water used to wash
mined material flows through a series of settling ponds. This is
a closed loop process with water occasionally being drawn from
the North Fork of the Swannanoa River. The applicant is
permitted to discharge plant wash water but has not done so in
several years and does not plan to discharge in the future.
Erosion and sedimentation control measures consist of rock/sand
berms, vegetated strips along the North Fork of the Swannanoa
River, and silt fences in selected areas.
The North Fork of the Swannanoa River is a tributary of the
Swannanoa River, which is Hatchery Supported Designated Public
Mountain Trout Water. The applicant maintains a vegetated buffer
strip between mining activities and the stream. Berms are also
maintained between the mining activities and the stream in most
areas. The general area of the present mine is surrounded by

k 1 0 0

Memo Page 2 • April 5, 1992
many previously mined areas where river rock was removed for
gravel production. Much of these areas have become naturally
vegetated through time as gravel mining has been active in this
area since the 1920's. The entire tract of property is also
bordered by the Asheville Watershed (20,000 + acres) and some.
U.S. Forest Service property. Whitetail deer (Odocoileus
virginianus), black bear (Ursus americanus), raccoon (Procyon
lotor) and various other species of mammals and birds are
abundant in the area.
The NCWRC does not object to the renewal of this permit,
provided that the following condition is met by the applicant:
Final permanent revegetation should include planting
materials which will be of benefit to wildlife throughout
future ecological succession. The following planting
materials should be added or substituted for planting
materials recommended in the reclamation plan.
Early spring: Switchgrass 8 lbs/acre
VA 70 shrub lespedeza 20lbs/acre or
Fall: Rye grain 30lbs/acre
Crownvetch 20lbs/acre
Seedlings: Autumn olive 30/acre
Sawtooth oak 30/acre
Adding these species to the reclamation plan should greatly
improve the wildlife benefits of the permanently reclaimed
portions of the property.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. If we can be of further assistance, please advise.

Renewal Request for B. V. iMOTck ,
No. 11-01
Buncombe county
Please find attached for your review a copy of the mining permit renewal
request for the above referenced project. Hedrick is requesting permit
renewal for approximately 1600 acres to mine sand and gravel along the
intersection of Fall Branch and the North Form Swannanoa River.
Please review this information and advise as to the probability of this
operation having unduly adverse effect on wildlife and freshwater fisheries
(G. S. 74-51 (2)). Please respond by April 10 1992 so that we may complete
our review of this request within our statutory time limits.
As is the case in our review of all mining permit applications, renewals
and modifications, this office will carefully review all proposed erosion and
sediment control measures to ensure that they are sufficient to restrain
erosion and off -site sedimentation. However, any comments your agency can
provide regarding effects on wildlife and freshwater fisheries would be
greatly appreciated. If your staff wishes to perform a site inspection, it
is recommended that they contact Mr. Bill Brown at [phone] to set up a
convenient date and time. Also, please send a copy of your comments to the
person noted in the application.
Your continued cooperation in the review of these type requests is
greatly appreciated.

Grove Stone Nature Trail Nears Completion
BLACK MOUNTAIN -- The Grove Stone Nature Trail on the Grove
Stone Quarry property is nearing completion and will be open for public enjoyment
April 28.
Hedrick Industries, owner of the quarry, have dedicated lands at the quarry for the
314-mile nature trail, according to Jason Conner of Hedrick Industries. The trail, which
features a cascading mountain brook, is being constructed for use by area schools,
colleges and educational groups.
Volunteers, including Boys Scouts from Explorers Post # 42, and firemen from
nearby Black Mountain have worked many hours preparing the trail bed and placing
mulch and signage for the trail, according to Mike Goodson, the project coordinator.
Specialists from both private and public agencies have visited the trail to identify its
resources. Educational materials for the trail are also provided for teachers and students
who visit. The county solid waste department donated mulch for the trail. The trail is
also being constructed to allow handicap access. Hedrick Industries is working toward
certification through the "Wildlife and Industry Together' program. The program is
coordinated through the North Carolina Wildlife Federation. Use of the trail must be
prearranged. For more information contact Jason Conner at 828-277-7030.
Workers gather at the trailhead of
the Grove Stone Nature Trail.
Mulch is loaded onto vehicles for
placement on the trail.

The following blasting Conditions shall be observed by the
operator to prevent hazard to persons and adjacent property
from thrown rock or vibrations:
A. In all blasting operations, except as hereinafter
otherwise provided, the maximum peak particle velocity
of any component of ground motion shall not exceed 1
inch per second at the immediate location of any
building outside of the permitted area regularly
occupied by human beings such as dwelling house,
church, school, public building, or commercial or
institutional building outside of the permitted area.
The operatorall monitor each blas-t with a
sgismograoh.
B. Airblast overpressure shall not exceed 128 decibels
linear (DBL) as measured at the immediate location of
any regularly occupied building outside of the
permitted area such as any dwelling house, church,
school, public building, or commercial or institutional
building. If airblast limits are exceeded, the
operator will immediately report the event with causes
and corrective actions to the Department. Failure to
report will constitute a permit violation.
C. The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to
insure that flyrock is not thrown beyond areas where
the access is temporarily or permanently guarded by the
operator. Should flyrock occur beyond the permitted
and guarded area, or the level in Item A. above is
exceeded, the operator shall report the incident to the
Department immediately and further use of explosive at
the site shall be immediately suspended until the
following actions have been taken:
1. A thorough investigation as to the cause(s) of the
incident shall be conducted.
2. A satisfactory report detailing the investigation
shall be provided to the Department within 14 days
of the incident. Said report shall, at a minimum,
document the cause(s) of the incident along with
technical and management actions that will be
taken to prevent further incidents.
The report shall meet with the approval of the
Department before blasting may resume at the site.
Failure to take corrective measures to prevent flyrock
and repeated instances of flyrock shall be considered a
violation of this permit.

RE: High Airblast Incident of May 13, 1999
Grove Mine
Mining Permit No. 1 1-01
Buncombe County
French Broad River Basin
Dear Mr. Conner:
This letter is in response to your blasting representative's, Mr.
Steve Anders of Austin Powder Company, investigation report dated May
13, 1999. The investigation report contained information regarding the
high air blast recording associated with the blast conducted at the above
quarry on May 13, 1999. An overpressure measurement of 130 dBl was
measured by your company's seismograph at approximately 2500 feet
from the blast.
This office has completed its review of the investigation report and
associated blast records. It appears that the excessive airblast reading
for this shot was related to energy release from the top of a hole. This
resulted from a partial collapse of the hole during loading of the shot prior
to the blast.
I concur with the remediation measure outlined in Mr. Anders'
report. Primarily, the remediation measure is as follows:
When loading holes that are drilled in loose or unconsolidated
materials, a non-metal tube with a funnel at the end will be used
to load the blasting product and ensure proper stemming heights
are achieved.

In order to reduce excessive airblast readings in the future, the above remedial
measure proposed by your company should be considered part of the blasting
procedures used at this facility. If future airblast readings continue to exceed 128 dBI
at this site, modifications to the blasting conditions Currently outlined in Mining Permit
No. 1 1-01 may be made by the Department.
1 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 [phone].

Explosives Column Check:
(this is a very approximate method based upon numerous assumptions;
specific densities may vary greatly depending upon the type and manufacturer
of the explosive products used in the shot; must consider each explosive used;
refer to Dupont Handbook for actual SPD, otherwise use the following:)
Assumptions (per Ireco):
If "straight" emulsion is used, use SPD (specific density) = 1.20
If a "blend/slurry" is used, use SPD (specific density) = 1.25
If "straight" anfo is used, use SPD (specific density) = 0.85

Re: High airblast reading at Swannanoa Quarry of 130 PB on May 13, 1999.
On May 13, 1999 we loaded a shot at Grove Stone & Sand at the Swannanoa
Quarry. The shot consisted of 17 holes 6'/2" in diameter and 70 feet in depth.
The shot had from 5 feet to 15 feet of unconfined loose material on top. When
loading one of the holes it collapsed at 9 feet, at the time of collapse there was 20 feet of
explosives loaded in this hole. After spending 45 minutes trying to reopen the hole it was
decided that the hole could not be reopened.
When the shot was stemmed this hole was stemmed from 9 feet to surface and
extra stemming was placed on hole; which meant that the hole had 20 feet of explosives
loaded in the bottom, a 40' void, and then, 9 feet of stemming. This is what allowed the
energy to release out of the top of the hole.
To prevent this from happening in the future we plan to design a non-metal tube,
with a funnel on one end. When loading with loose or unconfined material, we can insert
the tube into the bore hole and load product through the tube and pull the tube from the
hole when the proper stemming depth has been reached.

� 5� average, about 1 chance in 100 that the designated areas will be inundated in any year.
GoN' This information is important to public agencies and private citizens concerned with future
land developments.
u5 The flood -prone areas have been delineated through use of readily -available inforrna-
t
tion on past floods rather than from detailed field surveys and inspections. In general,
the delineated areas are for natural conditions and do not take into consideration the pos-
sible effects of existing or proposed flood control structures except where those effects
could be evaluated. Flood areas have been identified for: (1) urban areas where the up-
stream drainage basin exceeds 25 square miles, (2) rural areas in humid regions where the
upstream drainage basin exceeds 100 square miles, (3) rural areas in semiarid regions where
the upstream drainage basin exceeds 250 square miles, and (4) smaller drainage basins,
depending on topography and potential -use of the flood plains.
The 89th Congress, in House Document.465, recommended the preparation of flood -prone
area maps to assist in minimizing flood losses by quickly identifying the areas of potential
flood hazards. More detailed flood information may be required for other purposes such
as structural designs, economic studies, -or formulation of land -use regulations. Such de-
tailed information may be obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey, other Federal agencies,
r State, local, and private agencies.

RE: Excessive Airblast Incident of January 28, 1997
Grove Mine
Mining Permit No. 11-01
Buncombe County
Dear Mr, Lamm:
This letter is in response to your consultant's (Austin Powder
Company's) January 29, 1997 investigation report regarding the
above referenced incident. An overpressure measurement of 132
decibels was measured by your company's seismograph around 12:30 pm
on January 28, 1997.
This office has completed its review of the investigation
report and agrees that the excessive airblast reading for. -this -shot
was likely related to the venting of explosive gases in and around
the seam noted during the design of the shot.
I concur with the remediation measures outlined in the January
29th letter prepared by Mr. Steve Anders of Austin Power Company.
Primarily, the remediation measures are as follows:
1) Smaller diameter package material will be used on all
future front line holes.
2)- Greater precautions will be taken by experienced blasting
personnel in determining the placement of holes along the
face of all future shots, during the design stage of such
shots.
In order to reduce excessive airblast readings in the future
at this facility, the above remedial measures proposed by your
consultant, on behalf of your company, will be considered -part of
the blasting procedures outlined in Mining Permit No. 11-01.
Please attach a copy of this letter to your mining permit for this
site for future reference.

Dear Jeff:
This letter is in reference to a high reading (132 DS) on peak
air pressure registered on a shot. made Tuesday January 28,1997
at,the Swannaraa Quarry.
The shot referenced was on the top lift in the new work area.
Previous shots in this area have been drilled with 4.5" bore
hole, on a 9' spacing, and 9' burden and 6.5" bore hole on a
13' burden and 15' spacing. Normal loading procedures would
'be a bottom load of 30/70 blend and a column load of anfo,
priming with a 1 lb. cast booster, and a secondary 1/2 lb. cast
booster. Utilizing a non -electric initiation system. The dept`,s
of previous shots in this area range from 30' to 56'.
The shot in question had 20 4.5" bore holes, and 28 6.5"
"boreholes, with no change in the burden and spacing from previous
shots. �pneri"�3esigning_this_shot there _s a no.ticable seam)

Re: Grove Stone Pit, Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Conrad:
As you are aware, in February, 1977 Western North
Carolina experienced severe flooding resulting in extensive
damage to properties in low lying areas. There are several
areas in our Grove Stone Pit that present potential damaging
conditions should another flood occur. In mine areas where
we have reclaimed useable pasture, a condition exists that
I feel requires the widening of the Swannanoa River to a
point that would alleviate future flooding of the reclaimed
mine areas. As you know, we are not confronted with the
problem of adjacent property owners in our mine area. Grove
Stone owns four miles of the Swannanoa River and the pit
area is located in the upper one mile zone, so the River
travels three miles after it leaves our primary mine area
before it leaves our property.
With a concern for present
I began widening the potential
River during 1978. In a recent
and future erosion control,

by Mr. Bill Allen from your department, he objected to
the widening work I am doing to my property because
Mr. Allen feels I am infringing on the stream buffer

I would like to invite you to visit Grove Stone for the

MEMORANDUM
TO: Charles Gardner
FROM: Jim Simons
SUBJECT: B. V. Hedrick Gravel Mine -Buffer Zone and Erosion Violations
Bill Allen inspected the Gravel Mine near Swananoa on Janury 2, 1979
with Mr. Brown, Superintendent and later with Jeff Goodman. Bill gave me
a brief tour of a portion of the mine on January 4, 1978. Our findings are
as follows�'
Swananoa River Rechannelization
On January 2, 1979 a dragline was actively widening the North Fork
Swananoa River through a portion of their property approximately 2 miles
from their plant area. Material dipped from creek was being hauled to
plant. The stream was quite turbid from the disturbance. At that time,
the stream was being widened from an existing channel width of approxi-
mately 20 feet to approximately 60 feet wide. On January 4, 1979, the
dragline was located on the stream but was not operating at the time.
Approximately 300 feet of stream had been channelized.
Apparently, the operator intends to widen and channelize through
the entire property eventually.
This channel work was done by the operator with full knowledge of
our policy of not allowing gravel mining or channelization work in moun-
tain streams. The operator (Jeff Goodman) had requested permission to
re-route the river in November, 1975. (See attached) At that time,
appropriate review and interagency coordination determined that channel
diversion could be desireable.provided certain conditions.were met
(see letter of February 12, 1976 to Billy Weaver and accompanying comments
from Water Quality and Wildlife). The diversion idea was consequently
dropped. We still feel those concerns of possible adverse effects on
stream hydrology and wildlife are still valid for the present channel
work proposal and must be addressed before we could agree to any
channel modification. (See attached map for location).
Recommendations
I recommend that no further channelization be allowed or at least none

allowed until the potential adverse effects can be addressed and
rectified by the operator. Briefly these potential effects are: Increasing
flooding and streambank erosion downstream; siltation and increase in water
temperature.
Other Buffer Zone Violations
Upstream from the recent channel work, the operator has previously
mined into two tributary areas, Ball Branch and Laurel Branch leaving
no buffer zone or erosion or sediment control at all. (See attached map)
Probably, some of this work was done prior to the Mining Act or at least
before our buffer zone policy was known. However, I believe I remember
mining in the Laurel Branch (Fork) area in November, 1975. (See attached
inspection report.)
Laurel Branch was apparently relocated to one side during mining
but later re --diverted through the mined area at the landowner's request.
Laurel Branch is (was) reportedlya trout stream,- but is nowtsubject to
excessive excessive sedimentation in its lower reaches.
Sedimentation from old mine areas into Fall Branch and Laurel Branch
cause considerable sedimentation in the North Fork-Swananoa River. Several
complaints of this sedimentation have been filed by area conservationists
including the local Jaycees.
Erosion from other active or inactive areas along the North Fork
Swananoa River are also contributing to stream turbidity and sedimenta-
tion.
Recommendations
I recommend that the disturbed stream channels of Fall Branch and
Laurel Branch be stabilized and adjacent areas reclaimed. Erosion control
from areas disturbed before July, 1972 should be required under jurdis-,
diction of the Sedimentation Act. In the future, adequate buffer should
be maintained adjacent to tributary streams as well as the main waterway.
I will be happy to further discuss this.

Field-ferGrces Branch ���-`• {., (�_c'.
FROM: Roy M. Davis, Regional Engineer
Water Quality Section - Western Field Office
SUBJECT: Relocation of North Fork of the Swannanoa River
Grove Stone and Sand Company
Buncombe County, North Carolina
Reference is made to the November 9, 1975 memorandum from J. Craig
McKenzie to L. P. Benton, Jr., in which it is requested that the Water
Quality Section make recommendations regarding the proposed relocation
of the North Fork of the Swannanoa River by Grove Stone and Sand Company.
Grove Stone mines a gravel deposit for crushing purposes in a valley formed
by the North Fork of the Swannanoa River. Grove Stone has worked in this
area for several decades and has relocated the North Fork on numerous
occasions. The relocated river flows through an area currently being
worked and it is this section of river which the Company would wish to
relocate. From the Company's standpoint, the relocation would make
available additional deposits for mining plus get the river out of their
way and remove the necessity for the construction of a bridge.
The river at this point has been relocated at least one time in
years past. The present stream channel is of very low quality in the
sense that it does not provide a flood plain, no attempt has been made
to provide boulders and other obstructions for purposes of reaeration,
the river is located in a deep, steep walled channel which is undercut
during periods of flooding, and there is almost no vegetation to provide
shade and stabilize the stream bank. The present channel is an aesthetically
unappealing ditch which has little wildlife potential.
It is my recommendation that Grove Stone be allowed to cut a new
channel as requested with the following requirements:
1. The new channel will be cut in a stable configuration
including the provision of flood plains.
2. The entire channel will be cut with the exception of plugs
left at either end so as to minimize earth -moving actually
taking place in flowing waters. The new channel will incor-
porate boulders for the purpose of reaeration and the creation
of pools.

MEMORANDUM TO: Robert A. Carter
December 19, 1975
Page No. 2
3. In consultation with the Division of Forest Services and
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. Grove
Stone and Sand Company will plant a border of vegetation
to stabilize the new channel, shade the river from the
sun, and create wildlife habitat.
Following the above recommendations would offer the advantage of
creating a river through this portion'of the Grove Stone property which
closely resembles a natural river bed. This would represent a substantial
improvement over the existing situation. To deny this request would mean
that the present low quality river channel will remain essentially in the
middle of an area currently being mined and would be subject to abuse
for that reason.

MEMORANDIR-1
TO: Charles Gardner
FROM: Jim Simons
SUBJECT:-. V. Hedrick Gravel Mine -Buffer Zone and Erosion Violations
Bill Allen inspected the Gravel Mine near Swananoa on Janury 2, 1979
with Mr. Brown, Superintendent and later with Jeff Goodman. Bill gave me
a brief tour of a portion of the mine on January 4, 1978. Our findings are
as tollows�
Swananoa River Rechannelization
On January 2, 1979 a dragline was actively widening the North Fork
Swananoa River through a portion of their property approximately 2 miles
from their plant area. Material dipped from creek was being hauled to
plant. The stream was quite turbid from the disturbance. At that time,
the stream was being widened from an existing channel width of approxi-
mately 20 feet to approximately 60 feet wide. On January 4, 1979, the
dragline was located on the stream but was not operating at the time.
Approximately 300 feet of stream had been channelized.
Apparently, the operator intends to widen and channelize through
the entire property eventually.
This channel work was done by the operator with full knowledge of
our policy of not allowing gravel mining or channelization work in moun-
tain streams. The operator (Jeff Goodman) had requested permission to
re-route the river in November, 1975. (See attached) At that time,
appropriate review and interagency coordination determined that channel
diversion could be desireable provided certain conditions.were met
(see letter of February 12, 1976 to Billy Weaver and accompanying comments
from Water Quality and Wildlife). The diversion idea was consequently
dropped. We still feel those concerns of possible adverse effects on
stream hydrology and wildlife are still valid for the present channel
work proposal and must be addressed before we could agree to any
channel modification. (See attached map for location).
Recommendations
I recommend that no further channelization be allowed or at least none

allowed until the potential adverse effects can be addressed and
rectified by the operator. Briefly these potential effects are: Increasing
flooding and streambank erasion downstream.
Other Buffer Zone Violations
Upstream from the recent channel work, the operator has previously
mined into two tributary areas, Fall Branch and Laurel Branch leaving
no buffer zone or erosion or sediment control at all. (See attached map)
Probably, some of this work was done prior to the Mining Act or at least
before our buffer zone policy was known. However, I believe I remember
mining in the Laurel Branch (Fork) area in November, 1975. (See attached
inspection report.)
Laurel .Branch was apparently relocated to one side during mining
but later re -diverted through the mined area at the landowner's request.
Laurel Branch is (wag) reported�a trout stream, but is noW subject to
excessive excessive sedimentation in its lower reaches.
Sedimentation from old mine areas into Fall Branch and Laurel Branch
cause considerable sedimentation in the North Fork.Swananoa River. Several
complaints of this sedimentation have been filed by area conservationists
including the local Jaycees.
Erosion from other active or inactive areas along the North Fork
Swananoa River are also contributing to stream turbidity and sedimenta-
tion.
Recommendations
I recommend that the distributed stream channels of Fall Branch and
Laurel Branch be stabilized and adjacent areas reclaimed. Erosion control
from areas diststfbed before July, 1972 should be required under jurdis-
diction of the Sedimentation Act. In the future, adequate buffer should
be maintained adjacent to tributary streams as well as the main waterway.
I will be happy to further discuss this.

MEMORANDUM TO: Robert A. Carte F� LLD - ► yr U�S
Fie" ces Branch Wit'`

FROM: Roy M. Davis, Regional Engineer
Water Quality Section - Western Field Office
SUBJECT: Relocation of North Fork of the Swannanoa River
Grove Stone and Sand Company
Buncombe County, North Carolina
Reference is made to the November 9, 1975 memorandum from J. Craig
McKenzie to L. P. Benton, Jr., in which it is requested that the Water
Quality Section make recommendations regarding the proposed relocation
of the North Fork of the Swannanoa River by Grove Stone and Sand Company.
Grove Stone mines a gravel deposit for crushing purposes in a valley formed
by the North Fork of the Swannanoa River. Grove Stone has worked in this
area for several decades and has relocated the North Fork on numerous
occasions. The relocated river flows through an area currently being
worked and it is this section of river which the Company would wish to
relocate. from the Company's standpoint, the relocation would make
available additional deposits for mining plus get the river out of their
way and remove the necessity for the construction of a bridge.
The river at this point has been relocated at least one time in
years past. The present stream channel is of very low quality in the
sense that it does not provide a flood plain, no attempt has been made
to provide boulders and other obstructions for purposes of reaeration,
the river is located in a deep, steep walled channel which is undercut
during periods of flooding, and there is almost no vegetation to provide
shade and stabilize the stream bank. The present channel is an aesthetically
unappealing ditch which has little wildlife potential.
It is my recommendation that Grove Stone be allowed to cut a new
channel as requested with the following requirements:
1. . The new channel will be cut in a stable configuration
including the provision of flood plains.
2. The entire channel will be cut with the exception of plugs
left at either end so as to minimize earth -moving actually
taking place in flowing waters. The new channel will incor-
porate boulders for the purpose of reaeration and the creation
of pools.

MEMORANDUM TO: Robert A. Carter
December 19, 1975
Page No. Z
3. In consultation with the Division of Forest Services and
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Grove
Stone and Sand Company will plant a.border of vegetation
to stabilize the new channel, shade the river from the
sun, and create wildlife habitat.
Following the above recommendations would offer the advantage of
creating a river through this portion of the Grove Stone property which
closely resembles a natural river bed. This would represent a substantial
improvement over the existing situation. To deny this request would mean
that the present low quality river channel will remain essentially in the
middle of an area currently being mined and would be subject to abuse
for that reason.

Mr. Jeff Goodman, Manager
Grove Stone and Sand Company
Post Office Box 425
Styannanoa, North Carolina 28778.
Dear Mr. Goodman:
On April 12, 1977, personnel of the Land Quality Section met with
Mr. Bill Brown at the Grove Stone Mine. The following problems were noted and
discussed with W. Bro`m:
1. A stream had been diverted into a new channel near the settling'pands.
The -banks of the channel were too steep to be stable and, as a result,
were sloughing off into the stream. The banks need to be'resloped and
seeded as soon as possible.
2. Seeding needs to begin_ on all prepared areas as this is.the optimum
seeding season.
Your prompt attention is needed in these areas, and we ask that you inform
this office when corrective measures have been completed.
Enclosed is a copy of an article on "Spoil Reclamation" taken from the publi-
cation Harch,=d Observation Plots - 5 Year Report. We hope this article will
Provide beneficial Ti orn,ation or use in your reclamation program.
If you have any questions, please contact either Dennis Owenby or me at the
Western Field Office.
Sincerely yours,

Res Relocation of North Fork Swa:na ca River at the Grove Nine
Dear Mr. Weavers
dames Simane and Taylor Curring Section Engineort have reviewed frith mo
your proposal for relocating a strotch of the North Fork Stannanoa River. I
have also conmatod with the Wildlif'o Re3ou rcos Commiaaion and Water Quality
Soctien, and it i a believed that this relocation may be accomplished without
advcnroo affect on wildli.fo or stroam hydroloMr.
Houaverg any channel relocation thich ohortens the original duumol V311
ineroue crater velocity and may causo accelerated channel bank orosian dotm-
atream. To inavro that a etablo channel is doaimEd for tho relocatod channel
and that normal otroim velocities will rcmedn as closo as possible to tho
natural atrean flow doimatream, enginaering date is nodded to determino the
normal velocity in the proposed channel and the normal velocity, in tho natural
channel dosnstroam. To determine these voloeitiez t the following is noc ded.e
1. Croas eoctions of tho mdating natural channel upatroam and dorm--
etream flmam the proposed relocation. Cross aections should be
taken at locations rdiePre tho channel- has not been distmted by
oxcavatton*
2. Natural ground alevatione ahould be taken botucen the arose cootion
at approximately 100 fte intervals and a corr+eaponding ground lovel
profile drawn.
3, Several awe auctions should be made and atroam bottom dlevaticna
taken in the natural charnel for s distence of approximately 10M
feet dosnatrenm from the relocation.
Tho relocated charcoal Should then be, designed to generally conform to tho
natural channaol of the stream. Also, the charnel should be designod no that
normal stream velocity in the relocated charnel Aen it entere the natural
channel trill be approximately the same as the normal stream velocity in the
natural channel to prewcnt tm ntural atreadm* erosion dounstream.

The Wildlife Resources Commission has rec' omended that boulderc bo
scattered throughout the relocated channel to provide mini-�*ols and aquatic
life habitat. The boulders would have a velocity, retarding effect in the
charmer and could be incorporated in the channel design.
Please contact this office if I am provide any aoeiatancer in th93 matter.

I am writing in regard to the B.V. Hedrick relining operation
rat the confluencc A Curtis Creek with the Catawba River in
McDowell County.
The mouth of M t:i.s Creek was relocated by the flood in the
fall of 1977. Its new course took its tKough part of the
B.V. Hedrick mining operation. The mining company, as I
understand it, put Curtis Creek back -in its original channel
at the request of ,your office. In putting the creek back in
its original channel, they utilized creek bottom gravel to
.form the levee on the east side of the creek. The levee itself
is not large enough to withstand another flood because of
its insufficient width and height and the .fact that it is
built from creek gravel which tends to be rounded and relatively
unstable. Since relocation, the stretch of Curtis Creek from the
Interstate Q bridge to its confluence with the Catawba River
contains no usable Fish habitat because of the manner in which
the creek was put back into its original. channel.. From the
interstate, this reach presents a very visable example of what
not to do to a stream both evironmentally and aesthetically.
77is a blatant example of channel.i.zation for. profit.

Page 2
I recommend that both stream banks of GL1rtiS Creek from the
Interstate 40 brid.ge to its confluence with the Catawba
River be lined with blasted, angular riprap to preserve the
existing levees. Every 10 feet large chunks of riprap
should be scattered in the stream channel to enhance the
habitat that has been destroyed by indiscriminate channel
relocation. If possible. measures should be undertaken to
introduce vegetation back onto the stream banks for further
stabilization and shade. Irc its present state, this will
entail a great deal, of time and expense.
The above measures would serve to better hold the creek in
its present channel as well as enhance its appearance
to the travelling public.
Sincerely,
Paul Wingate

areas by using overburden taken from the maned area and material
taken from settling ponds. These areas shall be gently rolling
or as near level as possible. The overburden and waste shall be
spread as much as possible with the dragline immediately follow-
ing the mine excavation. Additional grading, if needed, shall
be accomplished with a bulldozer.
B. Areas reclaimed as ponds and lakes shall have the sideslopes of
the pond or lake graded to a 2 horizontal to 1 vertical grade or
flatter. Disturbed areas adjacent to the water body shall be
graded level or nearly level to blend with the adjacent un-
disturbed land.
C. Areas that are used for sanitary landfills shall comply with
applicable state regulations regarding landfills.
D. In all cases, the final grading and planting of a suitable cover
crop shall be accomplished as soon as a given area is mined and
no future mining in the given area is planned.
3. Provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property shall be
as described by operating condition numbcrs 4, 5, 7, and 11 and 12
reclamation condition number 2 (A).
4. Conditions hazardous to wildlife shall be prevented as described by
operating condition numbers 4, 5, 6, and .11 and by stabilizing all
disturbed areas in erodible materials.
5. Reclamation of settling ponds shall be as follows:
The settling pond areas shall be revegetated after entrapped sediments
have consolidated enough to allow access. Material from settling ponds
may also be used to reclaim adjacent areas.
6. The affected land shall be graded so as to prevent collection of pools
of water that are, or are likely to become noxious, odious, or foul.
Necessary structures such as drainage ditches or conduits shall be
constructed or installed when required to prevent such conditions.
7. Where possible, trees shall be maintained along the perimeter of the
operation to screen the operation from public view.

8. Revegetation Plan
All exposed areas in erodible material shall be seeded in fescue
using 35-40 pounds of seed per acre. Fertilizer and lime shall
be added according to soil test recommendations. Seeding shall
be done between February 15th and March 30th or August 15th to
September 30th. Where pine trees are desired, white pine seedlings '
in addition to grass cover shall be set between December 1st and
April lst. The seedlings should be set on a 5 X 5' spacing where
timber is the long range goal or in areas where a quick cover is
desirable to control erosion.
Trees shall be established within six feet of the normal water level
along both sides of the North Fork Swannanoa River to provide shade
to the waterway, including all sections along the river which have
been disturbed by mining activities since July, 1972, but which have
not been reclaimed and released. The trees shall consist of willows
or other suitable tree types. Two rows of trees shall be planted
using a spacing of 6 foot by 6 foot spacing. This planting shall
be accomplished within six months of the date of permit reissuance.
9. Reclamation Time Schedule
Reclamation shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to the
extent feasible. In any event, reclamation shall be initiated as
soon as feasible after completion or termination of mining of any
mine segment under permit.' Final reclamation, including revegetation
shall be completed within two years of completion or termination of
mining.

SUBJECT: Natural Area Owned by Grove Stone Company
DATE: February 25, 1988
Dr. William W. Davis
Director
We wish to alert you to the existence of a special -interest natural area in
Buncombe County in the Ownership of the Grove Stone Company. We enclose
information about the natural area along Fall Branch Creek. We will consider
any future expansion of mining operations into that area to constitute a
"substantial, adverse" impact on important ecological resources.
Grove Stone Company was initially interested in entering a voluntary protection
agreement to place this area on the State Registry of Natural Heritage Areas,
and even allowed the boundaries of the natural area to be marked. However, the
company declined to sign the registry protection agreement.

Grove Stone Natural Areal
Location: Buncombe County, Montreat 7.5 min. USGS topographic quad map;
approximately 1.4 miles north of Camp Rockmont, west of S.R. 2576 (Lake Eden
Road), along Fall Branch which flows west to North Fork Swannanoa River (see Maps
1 and 2). Area is located in the Appalachian Highlands Geomorphic Division, Blue
Ridge Province, Southern Blue Ridge Section, Blue Ridge Ranges Region.
Coordinates: 320 39' 10" N, 820 21' 50" W. Elevation: 2720-3840 feet.
Approximate Acreage: 107 acres.
Ownership and Administration: Grove Stone and Sand Company.
Land Use: No intensive use has been made of this property other than selective
removal of timber some time in the past. Local hikers trespass when they hike up
to the waterfall. An active quarry is located to the south of the property and
to the northeast lies Burnett Reservoir of the Asheville Watershed. To the east,
the level floodplain along the North Fork of the Swannanoa River is mainly in
pastures today, though the land was cultivated in the past.
Significance: State (special status plants and natural communities)
1. Dour plants of special significance in North Carolina grow within the natural
area. Three are restricted to the Southern Appalachians: Mountain catchfly
(Silene ovata), whiteleaf sunflower (Helianthus glaucophyllus) and broadleaf
coreopsis (Coreopsis latifolia), Ginseng (Panax uin uefolius), an herb with
commercial value recognized as being of special concern, also grows within the
natural area (see 'fable 1).
M
2. Good examples of several characteristic, though frequently impacted, mountain
natural communities are encompassed by the natural area. Of particular
significance is the cove forest natural community underlain by rich,
circumneutral soil, which supports a diverse and spectacular wildflower flora
including several uncommon species.
Discussion:
The east facing ravine created by Fall Branch as the creek flows eastward to the
North Fork of the Swannanoa River is the focal point of the natural area. The
creek cuts through and exposes the underlying basic rock creating a dramatic
landscape of boulders, cliffs, and a waterfall. The moist conditions within the
sheltered cove below the waterfall and the basic rock weathering to a
circumneutral soil create ideal conditions for the development of an
exceptionally diverse flora.
llnformation in this report was provided by Karin Heiman, Consulting Biologist.
This compilation by Julie Moore, N.C. Natural Heritage Program, Division of Parks
and Recreation, N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development,
P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C., October 1987. (3508263).

.a
At the lower, moister elevations below the waterfall, the forest canopy is
dominated by mature bass woad {Tilia hekerophL)+l_la), buckeye (Aesculus octandra),
and tulip poplar (Lirodendron tulipifera) with birch (Betula lenta and B.
alleghaniensis) and sugar maple (Ater saccharum). This assemblage of trees
constitutes a characteristic cover forest natural community (Schafale and Weakley
1985). The understory is open with widely scattered witch hazel (Hamamelis
vir_giniana), mountain sweet pepperbush (Clethra acuminata) and great laurel
(Rhodoendron maximum). It is the herb layer within the cove that is particularly
noteworthy and beautiful. In spring, a dense carpet of wildflowers covers the
soil and scattered boulders. Abundant species include wild larkspur (Delphinium
tricorne), waterleaf (Hydrophyllum spp.), trilliums (Trillium erectum and T.
grandii_lara), bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), Dutchman's breeches (Dicentra
cucullaria), bellwort (Uvularia grandiflora), false bugbane (Trautvetteria
carolinensis) and showy orchis (Orchis spectabilis). The green violet (Hybanthus
concolor), a species preferring circumneutral soils, grows in abundance in this
zone. Numerous boulders are capped with walking fern (Asplenium rhizophyllum)
and a variety of mosses. Within this rich cove forest natural community grow
several plants of special interest in North Carolina (see Table 1). The
broadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis latifolia) which is restricted to the Appalachian
Mountain Region is found within the cove. An additional species of the cove
considered to be a species of special concerti in this :Mate is ginseng or "seng"
(Panax quin uefolius).
With increasing elevation and drier conditions, the typical cove trees are
replaced by oaks, ( uercus alba, g, rubra, and g, rp inns) and hickories (Carya
spp.). Other woody species growing on the steeper, drier boulder strewn slopes
of the natural area include black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), red maple (Ater rubrum)
and American chestnut sprouts (Castanea dentata). In the -subcanopy mountain
laurel (Kalmia latifolia) and flowering dogwood (Corpus florida) are common.
Other special interest plants, mountain catchfly (Silene ovata) and the whiteleaf
sunflower (Helianthus glaucophyllus), see Table 1, are well established in the
transition zone or ecotone between the moist cove and the drier oak -hickory
forest.
Within the oak -hickory forest, the canopy opens over small cliffs and large
boulders; some exposures appear basic, others acidic in nature. On the cliffs,
grow interesting and somewhat rare plants such as shooting star (Dodecatheon
meadia). A variety of lichens (Dermatocarpon miniatum, Umbilicaria mammulata,
and Usnea sp.), and mosses (Hedwigia sp., and R_hytiadellphus sp.) cover the
exposed cliffs and boulders.
The waterfall has the physical structure of a spray cliff with the rock
continually exposed to moisture, however, few plants have gained a foothold. A
Carolina hemlock stand (Ts_ uga caroliniana) perches atop the waterfall cliff. The
abundant moisture below the falls provides excellent habitat for a variety of
amphibians.
The combination of very moist conditions, as found around the waterfall and
creek in the lower cove, coupled with the dry, rocky substrate on the steep
slopes, and the basic and acidic rocks make for a wide diversity of microhabitats
within the natural. area.

Dangers to Integrity: A large, active quarry is located to the south of the
natural area. Expansion of this operation into the natural area would severely
impact the site and the creek and waterfall. Although the forest has been
selectively logged in the past, more intensive forest management would seriously
degrade the site and alter the unusual composition of the plant communities.
Protection Status: The natural area has been maintained in an essentially
undisturbed condition by the owner.
Protection and Management Recommendations: Grove Stone Natural Area qualifies
for and should be designated to the North Carolina Registry of Natural Heritage
Areas. The current management program should be continued with no timbering
occurring within the natural area and care taken on upstream land to minimize
erosion and sedimentation.
Recognition by Other Agencies; None known.

Dear Mr. Goodman:
In late May, I met with you briefly to discuss the possibility of
registering the natural area along Fall Branch Creek. Since that
time, Karin Heiman and Rob Sutter have been back to flag the area
that encompasses the significant plant species, forest types and
the waterfall. The boundary they flagged follows the established
road bed to the north and west for ease in identification and
management. The acreage proposed for registry is somewhat larger
than anticipated due to using.the recently reworked road bed as a
boundary.
From the information provided by Karin and Rob, I have compiled
the enclosed report describing the significance of the natural
area. In the report, I have called the area Fall. Branch Natural
Area for the creek; however, you may prefer to recognize the site
as Grove Stone Natural Area as we originally identified your
property. Also, enclosed is an updated copy of a Registry
Agreement, I had left a draft copy with you to look over when I
came by your office.
We understand your concern that publicity associated with
registering your property would encourage trespass by curious
biologists as well as the general public. The Natural Heritage

Telephone [phone]
Casey Fitzgerald and I measured the area you are interested in planting on
December 7, 1981. We calculated this area to be approximately 17 acres.
Custom ranger Dale Brittain, looked over the area on the 4th and recommended
that the area be planted entirely with improved Virginia pine on a 101 x 101
spacing. He also feels the seedlings will survive better if the area is
bedded.
You will need to contact the A.S.C.S. Office on Riverside Drive, in order to
get cost sharing assistance under the Forestry Incentives Program. An application
will have to be filled out and submitted due to the limited Hands available
through this program. Once this process is completed, we should know whether
or not your funds have been approved by the end of January.
I have enclosed the planting agreement which specifies 17 acres of planting
at 855.00 per acre. Before we can begin planting you will need to sign this
agreement and send the original back to us.
If you should have any questions please

RE: Revision of Permit #11-1
Grove Mine
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Goodman:
I arts enclosing the revised permit for the Grove Mine. Tlhe
conditions of the permit are the same as the draft sent to you
with my letter of August 12, 1980.
Richard Phillips, Bill Allen, and I came by your office on
December 2, 1980 to discuss the permit with you. Since you were
not at the office, Mr. Bill Brown accompanied us on a brief tour
of the mine.
The section of the North Fork Swannanoa River between the
previously widened section and an existing bridge had been mined
and widened. As mentioned in my letter of August 12, 1980, we doubt
the flood control benefits of this action and believe that such
actions have an adverse effect on downstream water temperatures and,
aquatic wildlife. However, the original permit did not specifically
prohibit the channel modification.
The revised permit does prohibit in stream mining and requires
buffer strips be maintained between mining disturbance and water --
courses, including North Fork Swannanoa River, Laurel Branch, Fall
Branch, and Granny Cove. Since we have not received any indication
from you within the statutory 60 day period since the draft permit
was sent to you, the revised permit is issued. The expiration date
of the permit remains the same as the original, July 20, 1982.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Stephen G. Conrad
FROM: Charles H. GardnerL�
SUBJECT: B. V. Hedrick Grove Mine
Bill Allen and Jim Simons have reinspected the proposed mining area
in the Fall Branch watershed tributary to North Fork Swannanoa River. As
you recall, Jeff Goodman rode through that area with us on March 30, 1979
when we flew up to examine the channelization of the river in the mine area.
To mine this area, the operator would normally be required to leave
natural buffer zones. The operator has proposed an alternative plan to
try to divert and consolidate drainage to one side of the proposed mine
area before mining. However, we do not feel that either the buffer zone
or the channel diversion plan would adequately protect against excessive
offsite sedimentation. The watershed of Fall Branch is approximately 450
acres. The average gradient of the stream is 23%-46%. From this steep
topography, high velocity runoff can be expected. The deep gully erosion
at the previously mined Laurel Branch area is evidence of the erosion pot-
ential from runoff in a similar watershed.
Therefore, I recommend that no mining be allowed in the Fall Branch
watershed upstream from the existing City of Asheville water supply main
on the basis of G.S. 74-51 (6). The area downstream of the main is flat-
ter and has already been disturbed.
I have prepared a mining permit denial for the Fall Branch watershed
for your consideration.
Please advise if we can provide further information.

Dear Mr. Goodman:

Since the mine inspection of,the Grove Mine by representatives of
the Land Quality Sect n anC4W on March 30, 1979, you have submitted
Q a detailed mine map.ohe Land Quality Section has reinspected the mine
with you on August 28, 1979.
It is my understanding that the channel stabilization of the severely
eroded section.of Laurel Branch will beA'" before Spring 1980. You
also w s}�to exte d gravel mining into the fall Branch area and adjacent
areas hese�areas4rae,not included in your permit issued on July 20, 1972.
A modification of the ,,not
permit number 11-1 will be needed to mine
these areas.
I see no problem in expanding the mining permit to include the Fall
Branch to Laurel Branch area downhill from the City of Asheville water
main provided adequate erosion control is maintained.
However ti e :t�ee�popography and the large watershed uphill from the
water main,woul 'make�a equate erosion control difficult if not impossible.
We do not feel that either the proposed channel diversion or normally re-
quired 30 foot natural buffer zones will provide reasonable protection against
excessive erosion and offsite sedimentation. Therefore, a permit to mine the
Fall Branch watershed upstream of the City of Asheville water main is denied
on the basis of G.S. 74-51 (6) of The Mining Act of 1971.
G.S. 74-51 (6) provides that the Department may deny a permit upon find-
ing "That previous experience with similar operations indicates a substantial
possibility that the operation will result in substantial deposits of sed-
iment in stream beds or lakes, landslides, or acid water pollution;" This
denial does not include the lower area below the water main and extending
from Fall Branch to Laurel -Branch.

Re: Grove Stone Pit, Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Conrad:
As you are aware, in February, 1977 Western North
Carolina experienced severe flooding resulting in extensive
damage to properties in low lying areas. There are several
areas in our Grove Stone Pit that present potential damaging
conditions should another flood occur. In mine areas where
we have reclaimed useable pasture, a condition exists that
I feel requires the widening of the Swannanoa River'to a
point that would alleviate future flooding of the reclaimed
mine areas. As you know, we are not confronted with the
problem of adjacent property owners in our mine area. Grove
Stone owns four miles of the Swannanoa River and the pit
area is located in the upper one mile zone, so the River
travels three miles after it leaves our primary mine area
before it leaves our property.
With a concern for present and future erosion control,
1 began widening the potential flood sections of the Swannanoa
River during 1978. In a recent inspection of our mine area

by Mr. Bill Allen from your department, he objected to

Mr. Allen feels I am infringing on the stream buffer

MEMORANDUM T0: Mr. James Simons, State Mining Specialist
Q�
FROM: Mr. Paul Wingate, Fisheries Research Biologist
SUBJECT: Biological parameters pertaining to the Grove mining
operation on North Fork Swannanoa River
Samples were taken May 8 and 10, 1979 on the North Fork Swannanoa River.
Three sites were sampled (Figure,l). Station 1 represents the upstream
site (above the mining operation; station 2 represents a mid -way site
(below the stream widening and the reclaimed area); and station 3 re-
presents a below site sample and is on the Swannanoa River.
Samples taken May 8 1979 included: fish samples by electrofishing;
methyl orange (m.o.� alkalinity (Hach 'kit); temperature (hand thermometer);
(Surber sampler); and water samples for pH, suspended residue, total residue
and turbidity (Department of Environmental Management ran these water chemistry
tests). Water samples on May 107 1979 were taken 6 h after a 2.5 cm rain and
were also analyzed by DEM. !I,
Station 1 was located in a side channel above the SSR 2472 bridge crossing
and just below North Fork Reservoir (City of Asheville water supply). Sampl-
ing in the side channel was necessary because of the depth and the amount of
debris in the main channel. Station 1 does not qualify as a good control
(above mine area) as this area was mined approximately 20 years ago and still
has not recovered. In addition} construction of North Fork Reservoir contributed
excessive amounts of silt to the river (Penrose and Lenat 1978)•
rq,IF}
Station 1 4was 55 m long and averaged 4-3 m in width. The water had a tempera-
ture of617oC and a m.o. alkalinity of less than 6.8 mg/l. Six species of non -
game fish were collected with stonerollers-(Campostoma anomalum) being the
most abundant (Table 1). The average fish standing crop for this station was
12.1 kg/ha (10.8 lb/a). A redbreast sunfish (Le orris auritus) was collected
in the main channel but outside the sample area. Water quality data includes
a total residue of 7.0 mg/l (Table 2). No benthic organisms were collected
at this station.
r

Memo
` Page 2
June 5, 1979
Station 2 was below the reclaimed area of the mine and below where Grove
has widened and relocated the raver. This station was located 100 m upstream
from he SSR 1468 bridge crossing. This sample area was 80 m long and averaged
103 m in width. The water had a temperature of 180C`6nd a m.o. alkalinity of
less than 6.8 mg/l. Three species of nongame fish and one species of game
fish were collected with stonerollers being the most abundant (Table 1). The
total fish standing crop was 8.8 kg/ha (7.9 lb/a) with 8.6 kg/ha (7.7 lb/a)
comprised of nongame fish. Water quality data includes a total residue of
6.0 mg/l (Table 2). Benthic samples yielded two species of caddis flies
(�richoptera) and nematodes (Nematoda). A standing crop of 0.19 organisms/
m (2.0 organisms/ft.2) was calculated.
Station 3 was located at the Tanglewood KOA campground bridge crossing on
the Swannanoa River. No fish samples were taken because of the extreme water
depth, water velocity and stream width. Water quality data includes a total
residue of 17.0 mg/1 (Table 2). Benthos samples elded mayflies (Ephemeroptera),
caddis flies (Trichoptera), midges (Chironomidaer, snails 2(Gastropoda) and 2
nematodes (Nematoda). A standing crop of 0.23 organisms/m (2.5 organisms/ft. )
was calculated.
The area where the river has been widened (estimated 400 m in length) above
station 2 caused a 10 C increase in temperature. This increase is due to the
widened stream, absence of riparian vegetation and the shallow flow of water
(due to the widening).
On May 10, 1979, water samples showed an increase in total residue from 14 mg/1
(station 1) to 45 mg/l (station 3). A similar increase was noted for suspended
residue (Table 2).
It should be noted that all fish samples were incomplete due to the width of
the stream and the method of sampling. The use of a fish toxicant and block
nets would be the only way to obtain a complete sample.
The benthos samples taken by the Wildlife Resources Commission were incomplete
in comparison with those taken by Penrose and Lenat (1978) on the North Fork
Swannanoa River. Penrose and Lenat (1978) provide an accurate descri tion of
the benthic density and diversity and the reasons for their decline Attachment 1).
In reviewing the available data above, in and below the Grove Stone and Sand
Company mining operation, it is evident there are several ways in which the
company are degrading the environment. The predominance of stonerollers indicates
an absence of optimum environmental conditions for other fish species that would
be expected to be found here.
This river is warmer than expected because of a surface draw overflow from
North Fork Reservoir and degradation of the river by the mining operation.
This mining operation degradation includes widening of the stream and its re-
sulting shallow waters and the removal of riparian vegetation. The increase
of 1oC in the altered section in the mine could well be 8-100C in August. This
increase will have an adverse effect on the fish populations in the mining
operation as well as downstream in the Swannanoa River.
At the present tune, there appears to be no sport fishery in the mining operation.
Even with the warmed waters from North Fork Reservoir, the North Fork Swannanoa
River should be able to sustain a sunfish sport fishery. It appears that the

Memo
Page 3
June 5, 1979
degradation of the river by the mining operation has sufficiently altered
cover and food organisms to prevent this fishery from developing. Below
the mining operation in the Swannanoa River, rainbow andubrown trout are
successfully stocked in a valuable put and take fishery. Further increases
in sedimentation and water temperature.from the mining operation, will
destroy this fishery.
Benthic reduction is noted above and below the mine site (Penrose and
Lenat 1978). Penrose and henat (1978) state that "moderate to severe
stress is evident at both stations. This stress was produced by sediment
added to the river by both the reservoir construction (above station 1)
and gravel mining (between stations 1 and 2)". Station 2 is immediately
below U.S. 70 and above North Fork's confluence with the Swannanoa River.
Station 1 corresponds to our station 1 (Attachment 1) Their data further
suggests a decline by 40% in benthic density between station 1 and their
station 2. They further state that "this pattern [decline in density] is
typical of pure sediment stress.... Density [of benthos] is skewed towards
sediment tolerant members of the Diptera and Trichoptera".
Table 2 shows the increase in suspended and total residue after a small
rain (2.5 cm). Rains of this size and larger are quite common in the
mountains. This data illustrates that material is being carried from the
mine site and will be deposited downstream. The deposits downstream of
this material will have an adverse effect on the benthos and fish fauna.
All available information indicates that the current and past operational
policies of Grove Stone and gavel Company are degrading the habitat in
the North Fork Swannanoa River and in the Swannanoa River. The reclaimed
mining area, the widened portion of the river in the middle of the mining
operation and the new mining area near the river are all producing silt
and/or increased water temperatures.
The following recommendations are made to alleviate both present and future
(anticipated) environmental degradation.
1. The widened channel in the North Fork Swannanoa River should
be placed in a distinct and permanent channel with the average
width to be the same as the average width of the river above and
below this area.
2. The channel in this widened area may be left where it is or moved
to a new location that is mutually agreeable with Earth Resources,
Environmental Management, Wildlife Resources Commission and Grove
Stone and Sand Company.
3. The new channel (relocated or repaired) will have a bedrock or
gravel —rubble bottom.
4. The banks in the new channel will be armored with blasted angular
riprap. The bank of the river will have a top width of 9 m (30 feet)
(minimum) if it is higher than the surrounding land.

Memo
Page 4
June 5, 1979
5. When relocating or rediverting this altered section of river
in the widened area, Wildlife Resources Commission "Guidelines
for Mountain Stream Relocation" will be followed ( available from
the Division of Inland Fisheries).
b. Riparian vegetation will be placed in and above the riprap.
7. In the reclaimed area (reforested with pine) above the widened
area of the stream, a suitable ground cover should be utilized
to hold the soil until the pine are large enough to do so.
8. Adjacent to the widened area of the river, a new mine is to begin
operation in the near future. A silt basin needs to be built and
maintained to prevent surface water from directly entering the
river. In addition, a levee needs to be built and maintained be—
tween the river and the mine to further prevent surface run—off
(the levee mentioned in item 4 would probably suffice).
9. The present mine haul road should have sediment control measures
implemented to prevent excessive silt from entering the river.
la. If tributary streams entering the mining operation are relocated,
this relocation should follow Wildlife Resource Commission guide—
lines.
11. It appears that part of the flooding problem that Grove has is due
to the inadequate sized culvert that passes under the haul road.

NORTH FORK SWANNANOA RIVER
Introduction
The study of the Borth Fork Swannanoa River was initiated -to investigate 1
the effects of Grovestone gravel mining operations, located between stations
1 and 2. Station 1, however, did not qualify as a good control area.
Construction of the Burnette Resevoir Asheville water supply) has added
large amounts of sediment to the river above station 1.
Stations (Fi.
qure 7) ,
Only 2 stations were used in this study sampled in July 1977, August
1977, December 1977, and March 1978.
' Station 1
r
This station is located 1 mile downstream of the Burnette Resevoir.
It received heavy siltation from the area of resevoir construction. The
river is of low gradient and has a substrate composed of sand and gravel.
} The width at this station is approximately 4 meters with a 20% canopy cover.
Station 2
This station is located downstream of the old U. S. 70 bridge near
Grovestone. The river is still low gradient with a substrate primarily
composed of'sand and gravel. Some boulder type substrate is also present.
The width increases to about 6 meters.
P;
Level I Analysis
Level I Analysis Data (Table 1) shows a reduction in density between
station 1-and 2 of approximately 40%. According to the criteria,'this
is indicative of added "moderate" stress. Other Level I parameters show
no changes between station 1 and 2. This pattern is typical of pure
sediment stress. Taxa richness, diversity, and biotic index values
indicate moderate to severe stress at both.stations. ;
' 5
Level II Analysis Table 2
Level iI Analysis data indicates no change in community structure
between station 1 and 2. The effects of sediment added above station 1
are sufficient to mask any changes that might have resulted from gravel
mining operations. All groups (both stations) are severely reduced in
comparison with the Mountain Stream Control (MSC) data set. Density is
skewed towards sediment tolerant members of the Diptera and Trichoptera.
Level III Analysis
The taxa list (Table 3) shows both stations are dominated by sediment
tolerant organisms. The taxa richness was usually greater'at station l
than station 2 although this was not consistent for all dates. Density
and taxa richness was greatest at station 1 in 1977 collections but
the opposite was observed in March 1978 samples...
-41.-

General Assessment
Moderate to severe sediment stress is evident at'both stations.
This stress was produced by sediment added to the river y both the
resevoir construction (above station 1) and gravel mining (between
stations 1 and 2). No evidence of organic pollution or toxic materials
is suggested by this research.

Bear Mr. Simons:
It has been brought to my attention that the spotfin chub (Hybopsis
monacha), which is a threatened species (Federal), has been found in the
Swannanoa River below the mouth of North Fork Swannanoa River. Continued
heavy siltation and higher water temperatures associated with the Grove
Stone and Sand operation could have an adverse effect on this threatened
species.

MEMORANDUM T0. Mr. James Simons t State Mining Specialist
FROM: Mr. Paul J. Wingate, Fisheries Research Biologist PWO
Division of inland Fisheries
SUBJECT: B. V. Hedrick Grove Minet Buncombe County
Thanks for the opportunity to comment on the draft permit for B. V. Hedrick
Gravel and Sand Company.
Overall., this permit should be an improvement if all items are enforced.
I do question the allowable relocation of the tributary streams so that
mining of their streambeds and adjacent areas can be accomplished. This
seems contrary to item 4 under "conditions". I would prefer to see no
relocation allowed. Our guidelines on relocation (Guidelines for Mountain
Stream Relocations in North Carolina) should be followed if you allow these
tributaries to be relocated.
Somehow, 1 missed the references in this permit dealing with stabilizing
the disturbed (channelized) area of North Fork Swannanoa River above the
haul road crossing. Perhaps this stabilization should be more detailed
so that -it -can not be misconstrued. My letter of S June 1979 has more
comments on how this stabilization might be accomplished.
The reclaimed area of the Grove Mine which has been planted in pine has
not stopped surface erosion and the trees have exhibited quite slow
growth. Perhaps more adequate fertilization and the addition of ground
cover in conjunction with tree plantings would better stabilize the soil.

This letter will advise you of the reclamation release status of the Henson
Mine and the permit revision status for the Grove Mine.
At the Henson Mine, we understand that the mine land disturbed by your operation
has been regraded, reseeded and buffer dike adjacent to the East Fork Pigeon River
has been restored. Your company will not be held responsible for areas disturbed
prior to your operations and which were not re -disturbed by your activities. Final
reclamation release will be granted when permanent revegetation has become established.
The proposed permit revision for the Grove Mine should be finalized and sent to
you soon. Basically, the permit will document what we already are requiring except
that it will include provisions for future quarry operations and require special per-
mitting of areas west (uphill) of the City of Asheville Water main.

SUBJECT: B. V. Hedrick - Gravestone
Buncombe County
After review of the proposed mining plan submitted to us by Mr. Goodman,
our inspection of the area on August 29, 1979, and discussion of the proposed
plan, I would like to recommend the following measures to protect the affected
streams which flow through the mining area:
1. That the lower reach of Laurel Branch from the Asheville Water Main
to North Fork be stabilized by sloping the banks and seeding all
bare soil areas. This work should be done before Winter, but in
any case no later than early Spring 1980.
2. Fall Branch from the Asheville Water Main to North Fork should be
placed in a proper, defined and stable channel and not disturbed
further.
3. The proposed mining on Fall Branch, upstream of the City Water Main,
should not be permitted. This mining operation could not be
feasibly accomplished without doing irreparable damage -to -the stream
and would be very harmful to the water quality below the disturbed
area.
4. Any future land disturbing in conjunction with the mining operations
should be a minimum of thirty (30) feet from the streams.to provide
an undisturbed buffer zone of sufficient width to protect the streams
from siltation.

MEMORANDUM TO: Robert A. Cartes, -Heald FIELD�.lLi►'r
Field-SerVlces Branch
FROM: Roy M. Davis, Regional Engineer
Water Quality Section - Western Field Office
SU$JECT: Relocation of North Fork of the Swannanoa River
Grove Stone and Sand Company
Buncombe County, North Carolina
Reference is made to the November 9, 1.975 memorandum from J. Craig
McKenzie to L. P. Benton, Jr., in which it is requested that the Water
Quality Section make recommendations regarding the proposed relocation
of the North Fork of the Swannanoa River by Grove Stone and Sand Company.
Grove Stone mines a gravel deposit for crushing purposes in a valley formed
by the North Fork of the Swannanoa River. Grove Stone has worked in this
area for several decades and has relocated the North Fork on numerous
occasions. The relocated river flows through an area currently being
worked and it is this section of river which the Company would wish to
relocate. From the Company's standpoint, the relocation would make
available additional deposits for mining plus get the river out of their
way and remove the necessity for the construction of a bridge.
The river at this point has been relocated at least one time in
years past. The present stream channel is of very low quality in the
sense that it does not provide a flood plain, no attempt has been made
to provide boulders and other obstructions for purposes of reaeration,
the river is located in a deep, steep walled channel which is undercut
during periods of flooding, and there is almost no vegetation to provide
shade and stabilize the stream bank. The present channel is an aesthetically
unappealing ditch which has little wildlife potential.
It is my recommendation that Grove Stone be allowed to cut a new
channel as requested with the following requirements:
1. The new channel will be cut in a stable configuration
including the provision of flood plains.
2. The entire channel. will be cut with the exception of plugs
left at either end so as to minimize earth -moving actually
taking plane in flowing waters. The new channel will incor-
porate boulders for the purpose of reaeration and the creation
of. pools.

MEMORANDUM TO: Robert A. Carter
December 19, 1975
Page No. 2
3. In consultation with the Division of Forest Services and
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Grove
Stone and Sand Company will plant a border of vegetation
to stabilize the new channel, shade the river from the
sun, and create wildlife habitat.
Following the above recommendations would offer the advantage of
creating a river through this portion of the Grove Stone property which
closely resembles a natural river bed. This would represent a substantial
improvement over the existing situation. To deny this request would mean
that the present low quality river channel will remain essentially in the
middle of an area currently being mined and would be subject to abuse
for that reason.

Sox 27687, Raleigh 27611
Telephone g19 733.3833
We appreciate your meeting with us on June 27, 1979 to discuss the
above mines.
To briefly recap our discussion, at the Grove Mine, we are particularly
concerned with the stabilization of the disturbed section of Laurel Branch,
protection of water quality at the Fall Branch hollow and minimizing any ad-
verse effect of the widened section of the North Fork Swannanoa River. We
understand that you will be returning the mine map in the near future which
outlines the present and proposed operation. Someone from our office will
inspect Fall and Laurel Branch with you in the near future to -determine how
to resolve these matters. Until these matters are decided, excavation should
not be made in the North Fork Swannanoa River or in the Fall Branch areas.
At the Greenlee Mine, high water has cut through the buffer strips at
a couple of locations. We will also want to inspect these areas with you
in the near future to determine what should be done.
We will appreciate your future cooperation`v
Sincerely,
James D. Simons

♦� Grove Stone ' SandCo.
North Carolina producer has reclaimed 125 acres, planted 20 acres
with pine trees, created sanitary landfills,
and landscaped recreational lakes
by Joseph L. Robertson
Reclamation activities, which began long before the gov-
ernment made such practices ntandatoty. are standard proce-
dure at Grove Stone & Sand Co., Swannanoa, North
Carolina. As a branch of the 8. V. Hedrick Gravel & Sand
Co., the Grove organization has a genuine concern for the
land which has led the company to reclaim a total of 125 acres
since the early 1960s, frequently leaving the land in better
than original condition.
The chief uses to which the reclaimed land is put include
sanitary landfills and landscaped bodies of water. These
lakes are used for recreational purposes and as holding ponds
for plant processing water. In 1970, the company planted
some 2.000 trees of different species on the sanitary landfill
and wastefill area in an experiment to determine what types
of trees would be most suitable for the different soil con-
ditions existing in the reclaimed sites.
As a result, this model program formed a basis for most
subsequent plantings, Recently the company planted 20 acres
of White and Virginia pine trees in a reclaimed pit area. Also.
to prevent erosion, other plantings such as grass or similar
ground cover vegetation are sown on recently reclaimed
land.
Grove Stone and Sand Co. has operated a series of spe-
cialized plants at the Swannanoa location since 1924, but has
been a branch of B. V. Hedrick only since 1954. A number (if
expansions have occured since 1965 when a larger primary
crusher was installed to bring production capabilities to ap-
proximately 300 tph. A short time later it was decided to erect
a completely new plant adjacent to the old one and bring
production to 500 tph.
In 1975. quality control of the concrete sand was improved
with the installation of an attrition unit in the sand plant to
further wash the sand and remove clay particles. At about the
same time, secondary crushing capacity was increased by
replacing a 48 S cone crusher with a 489 S, handling a 9-in.
rock, and replacing a 48 FC cone crusher with a 1500 FC.

An 8-tt-diem rotary scrubber supplies an additional cleaning action to the rock prior to discharging ii to two coarse material washers equipped
with paddle blades at the feed end to remove remaining clay and fines.
The company is currently excavating a holding- pit for
waste water which will cover a surface area of approximately
30 acres. This pit will be divided by dikes into six or seven
sections, each of an average of five acres each. The waste
water will be circulated through the sections and ultimately
be reused as plant process water, The Swannanoa river.
which runs through one side of the plant property, will supply
the 5 to 10 percent make-up water for processing and the
waste water is currently returned to the river after it has been
cleared of particulate matter in settling ponds. Once this
30-acre holding pond is completed, Grove Stone and Sand
will cease returning water to the river.
The plant, located on a 500-acre site, mines a riverbed
deposit from two sources. One source is approximately one-
half mile from the plant and the other is about three miles
away. Both pits are mined simultaneously and blended in the
receiving hopper of the primary crusher by alternating loads
from each pit. Since there is a minor difference in the gravel -
sand ratios in the two sources, intermixing these two mate-
rials provides a constant end product ratio of approximately
60 percent rock and 40 percent sand. The rock is a granite
riverbed deposit consisting of gravel and natural sand.

Leh: At tower No. 1, two 5 x 14-ft T.D. screens discharge the oversize onto the crushed stone surge pile while the throughs enter a pair of 40-ft s
classifying tanks. Right: Rock from the surge pile is elevated to a 6 x 16-11 D.D. screen mounted over a pair of cone crushem gischargc of c
crushers goes in closed circuit back over the screen white the Ihroughs go into a rotary scrubber.
The depths of the deposits vary from 6 A to 40 ft and the
material ranges in size from large boulders down to sand. The
oversized boulders are cast aside in the pit and not brought to
the primary crusher. The overburden ranges from 0 to 4 ft in
depth, and is removed and used in building dikes in the
holding pond and similar uses around the property, plus
planned reclamation projects.
The raw material is loaded into the fleet of seven bottom -
dump trucks by dragline, one at each pit. The trucks transport
the plant feed to the 50-cu-yd-capacity drive -over hopper
which is emptied by a variable -speed drive vibrating feeder,
which supplies a 4 x 8-ft grizzly feeder at the rate of about 500
tph. The Grizzly feeder has 3-in, openings and discharges the
oversized rock to the 3042 primary jaw crusher set at 4 in.
The material throughs and that from the crusher is carried via

Leh: The attrition section further washes the sand to remove clay and bring the material into specification. It consists of a 2-cell, 40-in. attrition unit
and three sand classifiers.
Right: Discharge from the 415-in. cone crusher is returned over the 5 x 1441 screens for resizing.

Left: The third screen tower Contains a pair of 5 x 14-ft D.D. screens mounted above two 5 x 12-tt screens and two, two compartment loadout bins.
At the tower base, a 48 FC cone crusher reduces the oversize from the 5 x 14-ft screen top decks. Right: This view down the processing line shows
the second and third screen towers. the surge pile, and part of the slacking conveyor system.
30 to 40 percent sand- The product from the -classifying tanks
goes to a double sand screw. The double screw product is
stockpiled as asphalt or concrete sand by radial stackers.
Rock reclaimed from the stone plant surge pile is elevated
to a 6 x 16-ft D.D. screen. Overs from the top deck go into a
489 S cone crusher while material passing over the bottom
deck goes into a 1500 FC cone crusher. Discharge of both
crushers combine on a closed circuit system and go back over
the 6 x 16-ft screen. Throughs go into an 8-ft-diam rotary
scrubber and are then discharged to a pair of double screw
spiral classifiers.
The classifier product is split between a pair of 5 x 14-ft
D.D. screens. The rock passing over the top deck is reduced
in a 48 FC cone crusher, while that over the bottom deck goes
to a truck loadout station. Throughs from this screen are split
between a pair of 5 x 12-ft D.D. screens. Overs from both
decks are directed to separate storage bins for controlled
blending of the final products. Throughs are gravity -fed to a
central sump tank which returns all stone plant slurry to the
sand plant, The discharge from the 48 FC cone crusher is
returned to the 5 x 14-ft D. D. screens after first passing over a
5 x li-ft single -deck screen which scalps off the ale: -in.

delivery as asphalt screenings.
The attrition section -washes sand reclaimed from the
drainage sand stockpile to remove excess clay and bring the
material into specification for sale as asphalt sand. It is set
apart from the main plant and is fed from the stockpile by a
front end loader -and a portable stacker which fills a surge
hopper supplying the unit. The sand goes into the 2-cell,
40-in, attrition unit: then into a pair of 42-in, classifiers. and
finally through an 18-in. x 3641 double classifier before
being discharged to the stockpile.
All maintenance is handled at the plant by plant personnel,
from routine oil and grease to highly sophisticated engine and
transmission repairs. There are two separate shops devoted to
these activities. One is a shop for the repair of the rolling
equipment-. where five men handle all of the engine and
transmission repairs, overhauls, and rebuilding. This build-
ing also contains the stockroom for all of the spare parts and
supplies.
The second shop is primarily a welding shop that handles
repairs on the plant equipment (screens, crushers, and the
like). l

REc Relocation of North Fork Swannanoa River at Gravestone
Be V. Hedrick travel and Sand Company has requested permission to relocate
a several hundred yard stretch of the North Fork Smmanoa River in the vicinity
of the upper portion.of their sand and gravel mime near Swannanoa in Buncombe
County, Recommendations and comments from the hater Quality Soctioun are desired
on the adviuibility of the charnel relocation from a crater quality standpoint.
In this case, the oxisting river charcoal is itself a previously relocated
channel with little esthetic value and is subject to siltation from the present
mining operation. The present siltation of the river can be minimised to some
extent without moving the river. However, the proposed channel change after
stabilisation would remove the stream from the major mino areas, thus facilitating
erosion control. Roy Davie has seen the site of the propoadd relocation and is
aware of the proposed plans of the operator.
I have also requested commits from Wildlife Resources as to the effect
of channel relocation upon the local aquatic wildlife.
I have attached a location map and.a site plan for the proposed channel
relocation.

REt Relocation of North Fork Swannanoa River
B. V. Hedrick Gravel and Sand Company has requested permission to relocate
a several hundred yard stretch of. the North Fork Swwmanoa River which fl,oua
through the upper portion of their sand and gravel mine near Swannanoa in
Buncombe County. .
In this case, the existing river channel is itself a previously relocated
channel with little esthetic value and is subject to siltation from the present
operation. The present siltation of the river can be minimised to some extant
without moving the river. However, the proposed channel change after otabili—
zaticn would remove the stream from the major mine areasq thus facilitating
erosion control.
Obviously) more detail is'needed concerning the mechanics of the channel
relocation to minimize siltation in the channel transfer# the neu channel
configuration and channel stabilization.
Recommendations from Wildlife Resources Commission are desired on the
adviaibility of the channel relocation and if the relocation is acceptables
how ahould the new channel be constructed and stabilized to best benefit the
local wildlife.
I am enclosing a location map and a site'plan for the proposed channel
relocation. Please contact me or James Simons to coordinate our review of this
matter.

I enjoyed meeting with you on November 3,,1975. Per your
request, I have enclosed a sketch of a proposed river relocation
for your reference. Our primary purpose for relocating the
river is to eliminate the exposure of the river to our pit
operation as it has been for many years past.
Your cooperation and prompt attention to these matters are
always appreciated.

Dear Mr. Goodman:
S. Thomas Rhodes, Secretary
On February 27, 1985, Bill Allen and I meet with Mr. Bill Brown and
inspected the new stream channel. It was agreed that Fall Branch could
be relocated into the new channel. Mr. Brown indicated that the seeding
would be completed along the new channel this spring and that Fall
Branch would flow into a settling pond area. After this new drainage
way has stabilized, it may be desirable to channel Fall Branch directly
to the river. We also agreed that drainage from the old Fall Branch
channel should go through a settling area before discharging into' the
river until the new quarry access road is stabilized.
We look forward to seeing your progress on the quarry area.
Sincerely,

The property adjacent to the North Fork of the Swannanoa River
has been reforested as reclamation is completed. The reclamation on the
most southern portion of this property, as questioned in your letter of
February 15, 1982, was completed in late fall of 1981. We have an agree-
ment with the Division of Forest Resources to handle the tree planting on
this section during the early spring of 1982. Copies of our correspondence

Dear Mrs. Ballard:
DIVISION OF
LAND RESOURCES
Stephen G. Conrad, Director

Your letter to Roy Davis has been referred to this office since
we administer the State's mining reclamation law, The Mining Act of
1971.
The Mining Act requires protection of the adjacent surface
resources during mining and reclamation of affected lands to a
useful purpose after mining. Any mine operator disturbing over
one acre is required to obtain a mining permit and to file a
surety bond. The mining permit outlines the conditions for
environmental control and reclamation.
Mining does drastically disturb the landscape, at least
temporarily. Unfortunately, the landscape cannot always be
restored to this original condition. Permit requirements for
mountain gravel operations have become more stringent in recent
years. The permits for Grove Stone and Sand Company are being
renewed to reflect these more stringent guidelines. The operator
has indicated a willingness to cooperate. However, much of the
existing mine disturbance was done in the absence of these guide-
lines.
Mine operators and the State are striving to improve mining
environmental control and reclamation. We appreciate your interest
in this matter.
Sincerely,
James D. Simons, C.P.G.S., P.E.

Dear Mr. Davis:
(rove Stone and Sand Company, which is now a branch of B.V. Hendrick
Gravel and Sand Company, has been located in our area for many years,
bringing eaployment, and business, and collars to the people of this
valley. As a business; to my knowledge they are above reproach.
My concern is the condition of the areas where they dredge for gravel.
Streams, mountains and woodlands are devastated in their wake. The
re -beautification program apparantly employed by the corrapany is not
adequate. I feel that many areas where they locate are destroyed need-
lessly and without concern for the community itself.
Are there not strict guidelines for such a company? Is there any way
such a business can be restrained or made to be more considerate of the
environment and natural beauty of the area?
This valley has a great deal rmre to offer than the production of gravel
and sand and this town will eventually, if not already be hurt by the
extravagent waste of property employed by this company.
I would appreciate information concerning this situation. I also feel
the problem warrants investigation by your association.
Sincerely,
btrs. Hebert J. Ballard

Dear Marjorie:
I am so sorry I missed your call and then didn't get back with you
while you were home.
My strong feeling is that the heart of our regulatory programs lies
in timely and effective enforcement and your letter expresses a
frustration I share. But people like you who take the time to follow up on
problems are a critical resource to our people who are spread so thin,
Please rest assured that we will stay with Wayne McDevitt and the
Raleigh staff in bringing this matter into full compliance,
As you know, quarry operations fall under the State Mining Act and
not the State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. The Division of Land
Resources staff will be in touch with you and I will ask that they keep you
informed of progress.
With kindest regards,
Yours 'very truly,
fine Taylor

Dear ter. Weaver3
On November 3, 1975 an inspection was made of the Northrop Mine and
Grove Mime' in Buncombe County as required by G, S. 74-56 of "The Mining
Act of 1971."
At the Northrop Mine e - reclamation was found to be proceeding as
scheduled. The two lake areas between the present stockpile and the upper
two lakes have been reclaimed according to the Reclamation Plan, and you
are hereby released from further reclamation responsibilities with respect
to "The Mining Act of 1971."
The Grave Mine was found to be generally in compliance with "the
Mining Act of 1971." However, measures are needed to reduce siltation of
the Swannanoa River. Equipment crossing at a small tributary of the
9wannanoa }fiver was causing downstream siltation. The situation was
discussed with Jeff Goodman at the site and Mr. Goodman agreed to pipe the
tributary at the crossing. Further measures to prevent siltation of the
tributary from erosion of the adjacent mine areas may be needed in the
future.
I understand from 14r. Goodman that a relocation of the 9wannanoa River
In the vicinity of the active mine area is proposed. Before a relocation
of any stream from mining purposes can be approved, the Land Quality Section
must consult with the Water Quality Section and the Wildlife Resources
Commission to determine if the relocation will have an adverse effect on
water duality or aquatic life. A map or sketch showing the proposed re—
location would be useful for review by these agencies.
Should a relocation of the Swannanoa River not be approved, a bridge
structure will be needed to prevent the continuous disturbance of the river
at the equipment crossing.

Dear Mr. Weaver:
On November 8, 1974 an inspection was made of the following mines as
required by G. S. 74-56 of "The Mining Act of 1971"s
Grave Mine - Buncombe County
Northrop Mine - Buncombe County
Reclamation and conservation practices carried out to date were found to be
in complitmee with the provisions of your mining permits. I was pleased to
see the reclamation conducted at both mines.
At the Northrop Mine, the reclamation of the upper two lakes had been
completed, and you are hereby released of further responsibility with respect
to "The Mining Act of 1971" for the area of the two upper lakes. The next
lake in the series had been properly sloped and seeded and should be eligible
for release when the vegetation has become established.
At the Grove 14 ne, one area needing attention is the settling area for
the plant drippings located adjacent to the stream. The dike separating the
stream from the settling area is presently allowing siltation to enter the
stream. I recommend that this dike be raised to retain the siltation. Your
immediate attention to this matter is appreciated.
Again, congratulations for the fine reclamation work conducted to date at
the Grove and Northrop Mines. Should you desire any information concerning
erosion control or reclamation techniques, please feel free to get in touch.

RE: Grove Stone Mine - Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Poplin:
S. Thomas Rhodes, Secretary
This letter is in reference to our recent inspection of the Grove
Stone Quarry. Enclosed is a copy of the inspection report. The inspection
revealed the following problems which must be addressed:
1. The old settling pond areas south of old Highway 74 must be
reclaimed. The large mounds of silt spoil material must be
used to fill the pond areas to their natural contours and
the entire site stabilized.
2. Immediately stabilize all exposed areas adjacent to the new
water intake.
3. The haul road banks must be hydroseeded.
4. The temporary silt pits installed along the haul road between
the pit and the plant must be maintained. The buffer zone
adjacent to the North Fork of the Swannanoa River must be
maintained in accordance with the Mining Permit provisions in
the area where the haul road is currently being moved.
Also enclosed is a copy .of the Bee Tree mine inspection report for your
records. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Janice C. Andersen
Asst. Regional Engineer
