BARNHILL CONTRACTING COMPANY 2311 North Main Streel PO Box 1529 Tarhoio, North Carolina 27980 252•©23-1021 Fax: 252-823.0137 www,6arnfhiileontraeting.e0m November 1, 2012 Mr. Bradley Bennett Stormwater and General Permits Unit Division of W ater Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Re: Rhodes Pit NPDES Permit Application Dear Mr. Bennett, T am respectfully submitting an application for an NPDES permit for a borrow pit in Lenoir County. The borrow pit is currently being mined for an NCDOT project and we are in the process of converting this mine into a commercial pit. This borrow pit is approved for the NCDOT project C202961, Grading and Paving of Crescent Road, Lenoir County, and is actively being mined for this project. An Environmental Evaluation and Wetland Determination was performed by Environmental and Soil Service prior to the current operation commencing. Army Corps of Engineers representative Tom Steffens visited the site and approved the wetland delineation and operation. Mr. Steffens was in agreement with the wetland determination and observation that the operation will not have any detrimental effects on the small wetland located onsite. We have had difficulty in getting the documentation from Mr. Steffens since his approval. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water from a rim ditch into a dewatering basin as shown on the site plan. This dewatering basin has been sized according to NCDOT guidelines for a borrow pit dewatering basin. The installed basin is 1101 x 551 x 31. Water will be pumped into this basin utilizing a 6" submersible pump (Thompson Pump Model 46HST) at a rate not to exceed 650 gallons per minute. This pit will be operated for Barnhill Contracting projects only and will not be run on a continual basis• Use will be determined by demand for sand for local projects. Because of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates and discharge will vary greatly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are actively mining sand and not on a continuous basis. During times of mining we will typically work 12 hour days and pump during those times. Discharge from pumping operations would only occur during these periods and will be kept to a 1 - minimum. We have also applied for a CCPCUA withdrawal permit through division of Water Resources since this site is within Lenoir County. Existing erosion control measures have been installed onsite and are working properly. Please reference the site plan for a more detailed depiction of these measures. Topsoil berms have been installed around the complete outer edge of the mining area. Any water within the mining area will be directed to drain towards the basin. Diversion ditches have been installed around the outside edge of the berms to divert shed water from running offsite. There are also diversion ditches with check dams along both sides of the haul road to control runoff from this area. I have contacted Thom Edgerton in the Washington Regional office prior to submitting this Notice of Intent. We have discussed the operation and intent and I will also submit an Operations and Monitoring Plan to his attention. Please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of the NPDES Notice of Intent Permit Application and supporting documents. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Reference is made to the site plan that accompanies this Operations and Monitoring Plan, which illustrates the mining activities as they shall occur on the site. The type of discharge that will be present on the site will be mine dewatering- Reference is made to the site plan that illustrates the points of discharge from the mine. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to dewater mining operations through the following sequence of events: 1) Erosion Control items will be installed prior to any mining activities on the site. Sediment Basins and Diversion Ditches will be installed per plan design before mining activities begin. in the mining area. 2) Mining will begin in on the most western edge of the mine nearest the property line. Any topsoil in this area will be stripped and incorporated into a small berm that would extend around the western edge of the pit. The topsoil within these berms would be used to build any slopes after mining this area. The topsoil berms will be seeded as needed to stabilize. We will strip areas as mining progresses to prevent unnecessary erosion from occurring. Diversion ditches will be utilized to divert shed water towards the sediment basin. 3) As mining activities extend below the water table, water will be pumped as needed into the dewatering basin. Excess water will flow over the 12' weir, across the Rip Rap Outlet, and dissipate through the 50' undisturbed buffer- 4) After all mining activities are complete, any remaining topsoil stockpiled will be used to build the slopes of the pond to a grade of 3:1 or flatter above the water table, and permanently seeded. The sediment basin has been located so that any overflow from dewatering activities or extreme rainfall events will take a natural course to the closest wetland. Water will be pumped at a rate not to exceed 468,000 gallons per day, utilizing a Thompson 6" submersible pump {model 46HST or comparable}. The estimated volume of water withdrawal from dewatering.activities will.be.recorded. Storm water will be managed within the pit utilizing silt fence, diversion ditches, sediment basins, buffers, and berms when topsoil is available. Reference is made to the site plan, which illustrates the design specifications and size of the sediment basin. There will be an undisturbed buffer established between the mine footprint edges and the respective wetland edge. The 50' undisturbed buffer on the southern edge of the mine will be adequately marked with orange safety fence to ensure that heavy equipment does not enter into this area and land disturbing activities do not occur. Barnhill Contracting Company will work to inspect and monitor the wetlands that appear within the property boundary daily, during times that pumping and discharge are occurring. Barnhill Contracting Company will inspect and monitor the wetlands to reaffirm.the presence of the jurisdictional wetland line and soils, as well as, for the instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse, newly formed sinkholes, wetland vegetation degradation, and/or flooding of wetland from discharge activities. Barnhill Contracting Company does not foresee any impacts to the adjacent wetlands, but will secure the appropriate 401 Permit if the need arises. Together with data collected by NCDENR- Division of Water Quality from their inspections, Barnhill Contracting Company and NCDENR- Division of Water Quality can determine if there are any detrimental impacts to the property's wetlands. During inspections conducted by Barnhill Contracting Company, if there are any detrimental impacts to the property's wetlands discovered, Barnhill Contracting Company will immediately cease dewatering activities, and report the discovery to NCDENR- Division of Water Quality Washington Regional Office. Together, Barnhill Contracting Company and NCDENR- Division of Water Quality will determine how these impacts can be abated.

The borrow pit is currently being mined for an NCDOT project and we are in the process of converting this mine into a commercial pit. This borrow pit is approved for the NCDOT project C202961, Grading and Paving of Crescent Road, Lenoir County, and is actively being mined for this project. An Environmental Evaluation and Wetland Determination was performed by Environmental and Soil Service prior to the current operation commencing. Army Corps of Engineers representative Tom Steffens visited the site and approved the wetland delineation and operation. Mr. Steffens was in agreement with the wetland determination and observation that the operation will not have any detrimental effects on the small wetland located onsite. We have had difficulty in getting the documentation from Mr. Steffens since his approval. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water from a rim ditch into a dewatering basin as shown on the site plan. This dewatering basin has been sized according to NCDOT guidelines for a borrow pit dewatering basin. The installed basin is 110' x 55' x 3'. Water will be pumped into this basin utilizing a 6" submersible pump (Thompson Pump Model 46HST) at a rate not to exceed 650 gallons per minute. This pit will be operated for Barnhill Contracting projects only and will not be run on a continual basis. Use will be determined by demand for sand for local projects. Because of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates and discharge will vary greatly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are actively mining sand and not on a continuous basis. During times of mining we will typically work 12 hour days and pump during those times. Discharge from pumping operations would only occur during these periods and will be kept to a minimum. We have also applied for a CCPCUA withdrawal permit through division of Water Resources since this site is within Lenoir County. Existing erosion control measures have been installed onsite and are working properly. Please reference the site plan for a more detailed depiction of these measures. Topsoil berms have been installed around the complete outer edge of the mining area. Any water within the mining area will be directed to drain towards the basin. Diversion ditches have been installed around the outside edge of the berms to divert shed water from running offsite. There are also diversion ditches with check dams along both sides of the haul road to control runoff from this area. I have contacted Thom Edgerton in the Washington Regional office prior to submitting this Notice of Intent. We have discussed the operation and intent and I will also submit an Operations and Monitoring Plan to his attention. Please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of the NPDES Notice of Intent Permit Application and supporting documents.

July 17, 2012 Mr. Jonathan Proctor Barnhill Contracting Company P.O. Box 1529 Tarboro, NC 27886-1529 P.O, Box 82 Pinetops, N.C. 27864 (252) 631-3471 Fax (252) 827-1382 Subject: Environmental evaluation and wetland determination, Rhodes Pit, Lenoir County, North Carolina. Dear Jonathan: As requested, ESS has completed the environmental evaluation for the proposed borrow pit located near the intersection of SR 1335 (Louie Pollock Road) and SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road) in Lenoir County (Tax Parcel # 2685). Scope of Work The evaluation included a determination of soil types and depth to the seasonal high water table, identification of potential wetlands within 400' of the proposed borrow pit, evaluation of effects of any effects on wetland hydrology as a result of the borrow pit, location of surface waters, and a determination of the presence or absence of federally protected species within the borrow pit area. General Site Information The site is located at latitude 35.23418 and longitude-77.71631. Attached is the Lenoir County tax map of the entire parcel. The entire parcel consists of +1- 169 acres. The evaluation area, which consisted of the area of the proposed borrow pit, haul roads and surrounding areas, consists of +1- 53.6 acres. The proposed borrow pit shown consists of +/-12.4 acres. The site is located in west central Lenoir County in a farming community. The Neuse River lies approximately 2,765' to the southeast of the site. The proposed borrow pit area lies in an agricultural field which was planted with soybeans at the time of this investigation. The proposed borrow pit area was bordered by woods to the south and west and by agricultural fields to the east and north. The excavation area is outlined on the attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. It is understood the borrow pit will be dewatered during excavation periods. It is also understood that a dewatering/sedimentation basin is proposed for the southwest comer of the pit area and that a perimeter ditch is also proposed. Flow from the dewatering basin is proposed to be by gravity to the wooded area located south of the proposed borrow pit. The dewatering basin and ditch will be filled at the end of the excavation operation and groundwater levels will be allowed to return to normal. The haul road is proposed to be an existing farm path that enters the site from SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road). The haul road does cross a ditch, which is shown as an intermittent stream on the Lenoir County Soil Survey, which is attached; however, the farm path is established and has an existing culvert. • Page 2 July 17, 2012 Results of Evaluation Based on information gathered from on -site inspection, the Lenoir County Soil Survey, USGS topographic maps and aerial photos there are no surface waters, ditches or streams within 400' of the proposed borrow pit. ESS conducted a wetland investigation of areas within 400' of the proposed borrow pit An area of wetlands was identified within 400' of the proposed borrow pit. This wetland area was located in the wooded area to the south of the proposed borrow pit. The pertinent wetlands were flagged and located and the flag locations placed on the attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. Wetland data sheets recorded at flag #A4 are attached. The closest point of the proposed excavation to the wetland as shown on the enclosed map is 70'. As indicated to ESS by Barnhill Contracting, no excavation will take place within 50' of the wetlands. No other wetland areas were identified within the 400' buffer area. The wetlands appear to be jurisdictional based on aerial photos and visual observation. The wetlands appear to be connected to navigable waters via flow to a non -relatively permanent (non-RPW) that flows toward and under SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road. The non-RPW appears to flow into a RPW (see attached USGS topographic map) on the south side of SR 1324, which flows in an easterly direction to the Neuse River, which is a navigable water. No jurisdictional determination has been confirmed by the US Army Corps of Engineers at the time of this report. The entire excavation area is located in an upland setting. Slopes ranged from 0 to 4%. Soils in the excavation area are most like the Lakeland, Pactolus and Torhunta soil series. Lakeland soils are excessively drained soil that found on uplands and stream terraces. Pactolus soils are somewhat poorly drained soils found on stream, typically in transition from higher to lower elevations. Torhunta soils are poorly drained and are found in slightty depressionai areas on stream terraces. Hand augured soil borings were conducted at eight locations within the proposed borrow pit. The locations of the borings are numbered B1 — B8 on the map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. Two additional soil borings (B9 and B10) were conducted in the wooded area located to the south of the proposed borrow pit Soil characteristics were recorded at each location and the depth to the seasonal high water table determined by soil characteristics. Detailed soil descriptions are available upon request Static groundwater levels were also recorded in the open bore holes at B4, B5, B6, B9 and B10. On July 15, 2012, static groundwater levels were found to be between 28 and 36 inches below the depth of the seasonal high water table as determined by soil characteristics. For the purpose of this evaluation, relative ground elevations and the elevation of static groundwater were determined by ESS for the purpose of determining groundwater contours and direction of groundwater flow. Each of these elevations is shown on the attached map. The attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map shows the results of calculations used to determine the groundwater contour and direction of groundwater flow. The triangulation method was used to determine the direction of groundwater flow. To insure accuracy, two triangulations were calculated. The calculations used in making these determinations are attached. The direction of groundwater flow was determined to be from the upland area (area of the borrow pit) to the wetland area located to the south of the proposed pit This scenario would be considered a Type 2 pit, which does not require the Skaggs Method" to be run to determine the effect of the borrow pit on any adjacent wetlands. Based on information provided to ESS by Barnhill Contracting, the excavation is planned to be +1--15' below existing grade. Dewatering of the pit during excavation will be needed. The water pumped from the pit will flow into a dewateringlsedimentation basin, which in turn will overflow into the wooded area located to the south of the pit and through the wetland described earlier in this report. During periods in which no excavations are made and after the project is complete, groundwater levels will be allowed to seek natural levels. When the project is complete, water in the pit will be totally contained and no outlets will be made available for water to leave the pit Given that the pit is considered a Type 2 pit (groundwater flow from the • Page 3 July 17, 2012 pit to the wetland) and wetland hydrology will be recharged during dewatering phases, there should be no detrimental effects on the hydrology of the wetland. ESS also conducted an investigation of the project area to determine if federally protected species may exist Attached is a list from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of these species in Beaufort County. The proposed project area is located in an existing agricultural field, which does not contain habitat or conditions conducive to any of the species listed. None of the species listed were observed in the project area.

Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA): In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de- listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visit http://www.fws.gov/mi ratorybirds/baldeagle.htm Threatened due to similarity of appearsnce(T(S/A)): In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T (S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss. Definitions of Record Status: Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years. Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain. Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat. Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both. http://www.fws.gov/nc-es/es/cntylist/lenoir.htmi 7/16/2012 IPrint Form WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM —Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region ProlecUSito: Rhodes Borrow Pit City/County: Lenoir Sampling Date: 2012-07-15 Applicantrowner: Bamhill Contracting state: NC Sampling Point: Flag A4 lnvestigator(s).

Box 82 Pinetops, N.C. 27864 (252) 531-3471 Fax (252) 827-1382 Subject: Environmental evaluation and wetland determination, Rhodes Pit, Lenoir County, North Carolina. Dear Jonathan: As requested, ESS has completed the environmental evaluation for the proposed borrow pit located near the intersection of SR 1335 (Louie Pollock Road) and SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road) in Lenoir County (Tax Parcel # 2685). Scope of Work The evaluation included a determination of soil types and depth to the seasonal high water table, identification of potential wetlands within 400' of the proposed borrow pit, evaluation of effects of any effects on wetland hydrology as a result of the borrow pit, location of surface waters, and a -determination of the presence or absence of federally protected species within the borrow pit area. General Site Information The site is located at latitude 35.23418 and longitude-77.71631. Attached is the Lenoir County tax map of the entire parcel. The entire parcel consists of +/- 169 acres. The evaluation area, which consisted of the area of the proposed borrow pit, haul roads and surrounding areas, consists of +/- 53.6 acres. The proposed borrow pit shown consists of +/-12.4 acres. The site is located in west central Lenoir County in a farming community. The Neuse River lies approximately 2,765' to the southeast of the site. The proposed borrow pit area lies in an agricultural field which was planted with soybeans at the time of this investigation. The proposed borrow pit area was bordered by woods to the south and west and by agricultural fields to the east and north. The excavation area is outlined on the attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. It is understood the borrow pit will be dewatered during excavation periods. It is also understood that a dewatering/sedimentation basin is proposed for the southwest comer of the pit area and that a perimeter ditch is also proposed. Flow from the dewatering basin is proposed to be by gravity to the wooded area located south of the proposed borrow pit. The dewatering basin and ditch will be filled at the end of the excavation operation and groundwater levels will be allowed to return to normal. The haul road is proposed to be an existing farm path that enters the site from SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road). The haul road does cross a ditch, which is shown as an intermittent stream on the Lenoir County Soil Survey, which is attached; however, the farm path is established and has an existing Culvert. e Page 2 July 17, 2012 Results of Evaluation Based on information gathered from on -site inspection, the Lenoir County Soil Survey, USGS topographic maps and aerial photos there are no surface waters, ditches or streams within 400' of the proposed borrow pit. ESS conducted a wetland investigation of areas within 400' of the proposed borrow pit. An area of wetlands was identified within 400' of the proposed borrow pit. This wetland area was located in the wooded area to the south of the proposed borrow pit. The pertinent wetlands were flagged and located and the flag locations placed on the attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. Wetland data sheets recorded at flag #A4 are attached. The closest point of the proposed excavation to the wetland as shown on the enclosed map is 70'. As indicated to ESS by Barnhill Contracting, no excavation will take place within 50' of the wetlands. No other wetland areas were identified within the 400' buffer area. The wetlands appear to be jurisdictional based on aerial photos and visual observation. The wetlands appear to be connected to navigable waters via flow to a non -relatively permanent (non -RPM that flows toward and under SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road). The non-RPW appears to flow into a RPW (see attached USGS topographic map) on the south side of SR 1324, which flows in an easterly direction to the Neuse River, which is a navigable water. No jurisdictional determination has been confirmed by the US Army Corps of Engineers at the time of this report. The entire excavation area is located in an upland setting. Slopes ranged from 0 to 4%. Soils in the excavation area are most like the Lakeland, Pactolus and Torhunta soil series. Lakeland soils are - excessively drained soil that found on uplands and stream terraces. Pactolus "soils are somewhat,pooriy ,- drained soils found on stream, typically in transition from higher to lower elevations. Torhunta soils are poorly drained and are found in slightly depressional areas on stream terraces. Hand augured soil borings were conducted at eight locations within the proposed borrow pit. The locations of the borings are numbered B1— B8 on the map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. Two additional soil borings (B9 and B10) were conducted in the wooded area located to the south of the proposed borrow pit. Soil characteristics were recorded at each location and the depth to the seasonal high water table determined by soil characteristics. Detailed soil descriptions are available upon request. Static groundwater levels were also recorded in the open bore holes at B4, B5, B6, B9 and B10. On July 15, 2012, static groundwater levels were found to be between 28 and 36 inches below the depth of the seasonal high water table as determined by soil characteristics. For the purpose of this evaluation, relative ground elevations and the elevation of static groundwater were determined by ESS for the purpose of determining groundwater contours and direction of groundwater flow. Each of these elevations is shown on the attached map. The attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map shows the results of calculations used to determine the groundwater contour and direction of groundwater flow. The triangulation method was used to determine the direction of groundwater flow. To insure accuracy, two triangulations were calculated. The calculations used in making these determinations are attached. The direction of groundwater flow was determined to be from the upland area (area of the borrow pit) to the wetland area located to the south of the proposed pit. This scenario would be considered a Type 2 pit, which does not require the Skaggs Method' to be run to determine the effect of the borrow pit on any adjacent wetlands. Based on information provided to ESS by Barnhill Contracting, the excavation is planned to be +1-15' below existing grade. Dewatering of the pit during excavation will be needed. The water pumped from the pit will flow into a dewateringlsedimentation basin, which in turn will overflow into the wooded area located to the south of the pit and through the wetland described earlier in this report. During periods in which no excavations are made and after the project is complete, groundwater levels will be allowed to seek natural levels. When the project is complete, water in the pit will be totally contained and no outlets will be made available for water to leave the pit. Given that the pit is considered a Type 2 pit (groundwater flow from the ® Page 3 July 17, 2012 pit to the wetland} and wetland hydrology will be recharged during dewatering phases, there should be no detrimental effects on the hydrology of the wetland. ESS also conducted an investigation of the project area to determine if federally protected species may exist. Attached is a list from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of these species in Beaufort County. -The proposed project area is located in an existing agricultural field, which does not contain habitat or conditions conducive to any of the species listed. None of the species listed were observed in the project area. If you have any questions please call me at 252-531-3471.

Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act MGM: In the July 9. 2007 Federal Register( 7237346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de- listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visit http://www.fws. og v/migratQabirds/baldea Ig e,htm Threatened due to similarfty of a earance T S/A : In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T (S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss. Definitions of Record Status: Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years. fEstoric - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain. Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat. Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both. http://www.fws.gov/ne-esles/cntylisttlenoir.html 7/16/2012 WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM — Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region Projecvsh,: Rhodes Borrow Pit Applicanvownev Barnhill Contracting S tt St E m t l& S it Qe City/County: Lenoir State: NC Sampling Date: 2012-07-15 Sampling Point: Flag A4 fVICe Investigator(s): Co One ( "Y ov en a Ol I section, Township, Range: Landform (hillslope, terrace, etc.): Stream terrace Local relief (concave, convex, none): Concave Slope (%): 0 - 1% Subregion (LRR or MLRA): LRR T Let: 35.23188 Long:-77•71629 Datum: Soil Map Unit Name: Torhunta NWI classification: Are climatic / hydrologic conditions on the site typical for this time of year?

Box 82 Pinetops, N.C. 27864 (252) 531-3471 Fax (252) 827-1382 Subject: Environmental evaluation and wetland determination, Rhodes Pit, Lenoir County, North Carolina. Dear Jonathan: As requested, ESS has completed the environmental evaluation for the proposed borrow pit located near the intersection of SR 1335 (Louie Pollock Road) and SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road) in Lenoir County (Tax Parcel # 2685). Scone of Work The evaluation included a determination of soil types and depth to the seasonal high water table, identification of potential wetlands within 400' of the proposed borrow pit, evaluation of effects of any effects on wetland hydrology as a result of the borrow pit, location of surface waters, and a determination of the presence or absence of federally protected species within the borrow pit area. General Site Information The site is located at latitude 35.23418 and longitude-77.71631. Attached is the Lenoir County tax map of the entire parcel. The entire parcel consists of +1- 169 acres. The evaluation area, which consisted of the area of the proposed borrow pit, haul roads and surrounding areas, consists of +1 53.6 acres. The proposed borrow pit shown consists of +1-12.4 acres. The site is located in west central Lenoir County in a farming community. The Neuse River lies approximately 2,765'-to the southeast of the -site. The proposed borrow pit area lies in an agricultural field which was planted with soybeans at" the time of this investigation. The proposed borrow pit area was bordered by woods to the south and west and by agricultural fields to the east -and north. "The excavation area is outlined on the attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. It is understood the borrow pit will be dewatered during excavation periods. It is also understood that a dewatering/sedimentation basin is proposed for the southwest comer of the pit area and that a perimeter ditch is also proposed. Flow from the dewatering basin is proposed to be by gravity to the wooded area located south of the proposed borrow pit. The dewatertng-basin and ditch will be filled at the end of the excavation operation and groundwater levels will be allowed to return to normal. The haul road is proposed to be an existing farm path that enters the site from SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road). The haul road does cross a ditch, which is shown as an intermittent stream on the Lenoir County Sal Survey, which is attached, however, the farm path is established and has an existing culvert. o Page 2 July 17, 2012 Results of Evaluation Based on information gathered from on -site inspection, the Lenoir County Soil Survey, USGS topographic maps and aerial photos there are no surface waters, ditches or streams within 400' of the proposed borrow pit. ESS conducted a wetland investigation of areas within 400' of the proposed borrow pit An area of wetlands was identified within 400' of the proposed borrow pit. This wetland area was located in the wooded area to the south of the proposed borrow pit. The pertinent wetlands were flagged and located and the flag locations placed on the attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. Wetland data sheets recorded at flag #A4 are attached. The closest point of the proposed excavation to the wetland as shown on the enclosed map is 70'. As indicated to ESS by Barnhill Contracting, no excavation will take place within 50' of the wetlands. No other wetland areas were identified within the 400' buffer area. The wetlands appear to be jurisdictional based on aerial photos and visual observation. The wetlands appear to be connected to navigable waters via flow to a non -relatively permanent (non -RPM that flows toward and under SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road). The non-RPW. appears to flow into a RPW (see attached USGS topographic map) on the south side of SR 1324, which flows in an easterly direction to the Neuse River, which is a navigable water. �No jurisdictional determination has been confirmed by the US Arm Cy o ps of Engineers at the time of this report. The entire excavation area is located in an upland setting. Slopes ranged from 0 to 4%. Soils in the excavation area are most like the Lakeland, Pactolus and Torhunta soil series. Lakeland soils are excessively drained soil that found on uplands and stream terraces. Pactolus soils are somewhat poorly drained soils found on stream, typically in transition from higher to lower elevations. Torhunta soils are poorly drained and are found in slightly depressional areas on stream terraces. Hand augured soil borings were conducted at eight locations within the proposed borrow pit. The locations of the borings are numbered B1 — B8 on the map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map. Two additional soil borings (B9 and B10) were conducted in the wooded area located to the south of the proposed borrow pit Soil characteristics were recorded at each location and the depth to the seasonal high water table determined by soil characteristics. Detailed soil descriptions are available upon request Static groundwater levels were also recorded in the open bore holes at B4, B5, B6, B9 and B10. On July 15, 2012, static groundwater levels were found to be between 28 and 36 inches below the depth of the seasonal high water table as determined by soil characteristics. For the purpose of this evaluation, relative ground elevations and the elevation of static groundwater were determined by ESS for the purpose of determining groundwater contours and direction of groundwater flow. Each of these elevations is shown on the attached map. The attached map entitled Environmental Evaluation, Soil Boring Location and Groundwater Gradient Map shows the results of calculations used to determine the groundwater contour and direction of groundwater flow. The triangulation method was used to determine the direction of groundwater flow. To insure accuracy, two triangulations were calculated. The calculations used in making these determinations are attached. The direction of groundwater flow was determined to be from the upland area (area of the borrow pit) to the wetland area located to the south of the proposed pit. This scenario would be considered a Type 2 pit, which does not require the "Skaggs Method" to be nun to determine the effect of the borrow pit on any adjacent wetlands. Based on information provided to ESS by Barnhill Contracting, the excavation is planned to be +1-15' below existing grade. Dewatering of the pit during excavation will be needed. The water pumped from the pit will flow into a dewateringlsedimentation basin, which in turn will overflow into the wooded area located to the south of the pit and through the wetland described earlier in this report. During periods in which no excavations are made and after the project is complete, groundwater levels will be allowed to seek natural levels. When the project is complete, water in the pit will be totally contained and no outlets will be made available for water to leave the pit. Given that the pit is considered a Type 2 pit (groundwater flow from the ® Page 3 July 17, 2012 pit to the wetland) and wetland hydrology will be recharged during dewatering phases, there should be no detrimental effects on the hydrology of the wetland. ESS also conducted an investigation of the project area to determine if federally protected species may exist. Attached is a list from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of these species in Beaufort County. The proposed project area is located in an existing agricultural field, which does not contain habitat or conditions conducive to any of the species listed. None of the species listed were observed in the project area. If you have any questions please call me at 252-531-3471.

Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA): In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72-37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de- listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visit http://www.fws gov/migrato[ybirds/baidea lg e.htm Threatened due to similarity of appearange(T(S/A)): In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T (S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss. Definitions of Record Status: Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years. Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain. Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat. Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both. http://www.fws.gov/nc-es/es/entylist/lenoir.htmi 7/16/2012 WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM — Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region Projectlsite: Rhodes Borrow Pit City/County: Lenoir Sampling Date: 2012-07-15 Applicant/Owner.
