This letter is in response to your email sent on August 6, 2020 requesting the approval of a temporary
crossing on Higgins Branch and a temporary access through buffer area as indicated on the map dated August 5,
2020 for the 1-26 construction project referred to in the approval letter dated October 24, 2019. The approval
letter references the stockpiling of clean uncontaminated undercut material from NCDOT Project Nos. C204264
and C204266. This request is hereby approved and is contingent upon the following: Reestablishment of the
buffer and removal of the temporary crossing over Higgins Branch at the end of the project.

Judy and Adam,
In reference to our conversation yesterday Aug. 6. In addition to the Higgins Branch crossing Harrison
construction proposes creating a temporary access the Interstate 26 construction project which will effect
approximately 30+or—feet of the 15' buffer on the south west side of the quarry property as depicted in the attached
revised drawing. After completion of the Interstate 26 construction project the effected buffer will be re-established.
Thank you for your time and consideration
Sincerely
Don Mason

Hello Judy and Adam,
Judy as we've discussed and Shawna and I have discussed on several occasions the Fletcher Quarry Permit No.
45-02 stream crossing (Higgins Branch), I don't believe this should require a Mining Permit Modification.The crossing is
within the disturbed area specifically the fill/waste area access.
The original crossing was a pipe in Higgins Branch that was removed in approximately 2010 when the fill/waste
area was considered complete and assumed the crossing was no longer needed. All roads and erosion control measures
have remained in place, no new roads are required (see attached map).
This crossing will create direct access from 1-26 for stockpiling of clean uncontaminated undercut material from
NCDOT Project Nos.C204265 and C204266 as stated in the October 14, 2019 letter from Director S. Danial Smith (see
attached letter).This crossing makes the transport of material more efficient and most importantly safer as it eliminates
round trip truck traffic on public roads through residential neighborhoods along Fanning Bridge road.
The Army Corp of Engineers has determined that with the temporary"Bridging Span" type crossing a 404 permit
would not be required.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated
Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions or for additional information 828-421-0448
Sincerely,
Don Mason
