Re: Relocation of SR 1117 - Richmond County
Dear John:
`N 4V tz2z"
This letter serves to transmit our joint application for a nationwide permit
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Section 401 water quality
certification from the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Management. This project consists of the relocation of existing SR 1117 near
the town of Rockingham in Richmond County. Both the Vulcan Materials
Company and North Carolina Department of Transportation believe that the
relocation of the existing road is necessary for public safety, by diverting local
traffic away from the heavy truck traffic associated with the mining operations.
We believe the minor wetland impacts associated with this proposed
relocation qualifies under the Nationwide Permit #26. I hope the information
included in this applications is sufficient for your review. I appreciate your
assistance. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
[phone].
Very truly yours,
KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

?[4 ** AF
?EHNR
Upon review of your request for 401 Water Quality Certification to place fill material in
1.03 acres of wetlands or waters which are tributary to Hitchcock Creek for road relocation for
mine expansion located at SR 1117 in Richmond County, as described in your submittal dated
19 May 1993, we have determined that the proposed fill can be covered by General Water
Quality Certification No. 2671 issued January 21, 1992. A Copy of the General Certification is
attached. This Certification may be used in qualifying for coverage under Corps of
Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 26.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

0.02 acre filled
0.29 acre filled
1.03 acres of fill
To increase public safety by diverting local traffic away from mining operations which are
highly utilized by large loading trucks and heavy mining equipment.
14. Because the unnamed tributary to Hitchcock Creek traverses the entire length of the property
in a north-south alignment, there is no means of relocating east-west SR 1117 without
crossing the wetland area associated with this tributary. This is also the situation for the
crossings of the wet-weather drainages and other streams. The channel relocation and
crossing of the wetland associated with the sediment pond are unavoidable due to constraints
of the northern property boundary.
In order to minimize wetland impacts, all crossings are as close to perpendicular as practical.
Best management practices for sediment and erosion control, in accordance with North
Carolina Department of Transportatance standards, will be employed during construction.
To mitigate wetland impacts, the 72" culvert on existing SR 1117 at the present crossing of
the unnamed tributary to Hitchcock Creek will be removed. The bank will be graded to its
natural slope and revegetated.
Letter of Authorization
The Vulcan Materials Company, hereby authorizes Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to make
applications on our account for permits for dredge and fill activities and to coordinate with the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources - Division of Environmental
Management, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding this road relocation project in Richmond
County. Kimley-Horn is not a general agent of the Vulcan Materials Company, therefore this
authorization terminates upon written notice by the Vulcan Materials Company, by Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., or upon final agency action on this permit application.

Attn: Ms. Beth Reed
Post Office Box 33068
Raleigh, North Carolina 27636-3068
Dear Ms. Reed:
Reference your application of May 25, 1993, for Department of the Army
(DA) authorization to place fill material into 1.03 acres of wetlands above
the headwaters of Hitchcock Creek at your property located off SR 1117 near
Rockingham, Richmoind-County; North Carolina.
For the purposes of the-U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.(NWP).
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated
waters.
Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided you receive a Section 401
water quality certification from the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM). You should contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone (919)
733-1786, regarding your water quality certification. This NWP does not
relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local
approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked. Also,
this verification will, remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity
complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during
the 2 years, the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is
modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and
conditions of the nationwide permit, activities which have commenced (i.e.,
are under construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the
NWPt will remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12
months of the date of the NWP expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
