Hey Amy,
I believe that this might be what you are requesting regarding the revised and updated
PCN impacts table. I have noted the two unauthorized impacts as follows:
Stream Impact S-2 - 152 If Perennial - Temporary impact - Relocation
This is the 152 If of stream on the upstream side of the culvert where flow was
unintentionally directed into the conveyance channel when it was constructed. The new
location of the stream now has sidestream wetlands and has become shaded with woody
vegetation.
Stream Impact S-3 - 53 If Perennial - Temporary impact - Relocation
This is the new 53 If of perennial stream that will be constructed to carry the flow on the
downstream side of the culvert back into the original route of the UT Lower Creek rather
than continuing on in the conveyance channel. It replaces the section of stream that was
lost when flow was unintentionally diverted away. The new section of stream channel
will be constructed through uplands. It connects the outfall of the existing culvert that
originates with the flow of the springhead of the original perennial segment of stream to
its natural original downstream UT into Long Creek thus restoring flow into the stream.
Overall, as we observed in the field, the goal is to restore continuous flow from the
upstream spring, through the existing perennial stream that found its own way into the
conveyance channel, and subsequently through the new section of perennial stream to
reconnect with the existing functioning stream leading to Lower Creek. This will allow
flow from the sediment and erosion control measures of the quarry to be separated out
and directed into the conveyance channel. Only clean groundwater or spring flow will be
going into the perennial stream.

there is anything further I can provide to you, please let me know.

Tony,
After a review of historic aerial imagery of the Vulcan Materials Company Lenoir Quarry and conversation
with staff from Vulcan Materials Company Lenoir Quarry, the Division has determined that unauthorized
impacts to surface waters and wetlands have occurred to jurisdictional waters. The Division is unable to
approve the 401 application until these impacts are accounted for. To account for these unauthorized impacts,
please revise the impact table in the PCN to include the impacts and resubmit this to me via email or the
mailing address below.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
