In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in accordance with G.S. §74-50 and §74-51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the additional or revised information in accordance with the following comments: 1. Please supply a list of all equipment that was modeled and its location for the "Wake Stone Triangle Quarry Expansion Acoustical Study." 2. Please supply a copy of the March 12, 2021 "Wake Stone Triangle Quarry Expansion Acoustical Study" that provides tracked changes from the February 11, 2021 draft version. 3. The current maps provide the location of concrete washout on the north/west (new pit) side of Crabtree Creek, but no concrete washout is shown on the south/east (existing pit) side of the creek. Please supply corrected drawings showing the concrete washout(s) on the south/east pit, or an explanation why a washout is not needed. 4. Please supply proof that the security fence meets the requirements of the Neuse River buffer rules. Has a buffer authorization been provided? 5. It is recommended that Wake Stone upsize the riser pipe diameter on Basin #4 so that it is a size or two larger than the barrel pipe. This will prevent potential hydraulic conditions that can reduce outflows and overall hydraulic efficiency. 6.
