SUBJECT: Pre-construction Notification Application for Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.,
Garner Quarry, Wake County, North Carolina. DWQ ID: 010726
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the
subject pre-construction notification. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions
of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et
seq.).
Applicant proposes to relocate a stormwater retention pond and an unnamed tributary to
Big Branch to allow for expansion of the quarry. The relocation will impact 250 linear feet (10
of stream, while 1000 if will be created by the relocation. Big Branch is a tributary of Walnut
Creek and is within the Neuse River basin. We concur with the proposed project. However, we
recommend that the process involve restoring as much of the natural geomorphic dimension,
pattern, and profile of the stream as possible and that bioengineering methods are utilized.
Additionally, a minimum 50-foot undisturbed, forested buffer should be maintained along all
intermittent streams and wetland areas, while a minimum 100-foot undisturbed, forested buffer
should be maintained along all perennial streams within the project area. Maintaining
undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas will minimize impacts to fish and wildlife
resources, water quality, and aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area. In
addition, wide riparian buffers are helpful in maintaining stability of stream banks, for treatment
of pollutants associated with urban stormwater, and provide continuous travel corridors for
wildlife.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this pre-construction notice. If you require
further assistance please contact our office at [phone].

This is a stream that is created from a stormwater pond with a discharge that is contained in a ditch.
THe plan to relocate 1000 feet of it into a new ditch. Can we not require it to be accomplished as a

Subject: Pre-Construction Notification Application - NWP#39
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. - Garner Quarry Dear Mr. Dorney: 010726
Enclosed please find a completed Pre-Construction Notification Application to cover the small
project at our Garner Quarry. A small non jurisdictional stormwater retention pond and several
hundred feet of jurisdictional stream need to be relocated to allow for expansion of an adjacent
quarry.
On October 19, 2000, we met Mr. Todd Tugwell of the Corps of Engineers at this site to discuss
the project and to get his ideas on options for construction. Based on his suggestion, we have
moved the proposed stormwater retention pond upstream to allow for more jurisdictional stream
to be created by the pond overflow. Our pit discharges to this pond and a consistent flow out of
the pond created a rather nice unnamed tributary to Big Branch. Mr. Tugwell determined the
existing stormwater retention pond to be non jurisdictional, as is the pit discharge ditch located
above the pond. The receiving stream below the pond was considered as jurisdictional.
Enclosed please find seven copies of the following:
• Completed NWP#39 Application
• USGS Sheet locating the project area
• Map showing the existing situation
• Map of the proposed project
• Map of surveyed channel and cross-section
• Map of wetlands delineated on stormwater retention pond
• Photos of existing site features PAYMENT
• Tree planting schedule RECEIVED
• Seeding Schedule
April 18, 2001
Page 2
The basic outline of the project scope is the following:
1. Move a non jurisdictional stormwater retention pond upstream (pond contains less than 0.2
acres of wetlands
2. Delete 250-feet of jurisdictional stream
3. Create over 1000-feet of new channel
4. Moving pond upstream will enhance a greater length of unnamed tributary to Big Branch
Please get in touch with this office if any additional information is needed on this matter.

Channel Relocation
Planting Schedule
Tree seedlings will be planted along the 1000-foot relocated channel and the proposed
stormwater retention pond.
2. Trees will be planted along the channel at a spacing of 8-feet on center on 3 rows each
side of the channel. The rows will be spaced 6-feet apart.
3. Trees will be planted along the shore of the proposed stormwater retention pond at a
spacing of 8-feet on center for 2 rows spaced 6-feet apart.
4. Trees used will be from the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources and will be
from the Environmental East Package. This would include Loblolly, White Pine,
Longleaf, Eastern Red Cedar, Southern Wax Myrtle, Sweetgum, Sycamore Coastal,
Baldcypress, Water Oak, Cherrybark Oak and Green Ash.
5. Trees will be planted during the first winter after completion of the project.
6. Bare earth areas will be planted with the recommended seed mix found in the Surface
Mining Manual produced by the Land Quality Section. A copy of that seeding schedule is
attached.

Seeding Mixture
Species (lbs/ac.)
Tall fescue 100
Sericea lespedeza 30
Kobe lespedeza 10
Seeding notes:
• In Eastern Piedmont, add 25 lb/ac. Pensacola bahiagrass or 10 lb/ac. Common bermudagrass..
Use Common bermudagrass only where it is unlikely to become a pest.
• After August 15 use Unscarified Sericea lespedeza seed.
• Where a neat appearance is desired, omit Sericea lespedeza and substitute 40 lb/ac. Bahiagrass
or 15 lb/ac. Bermudagrass.
I • To extend spring seeding dates into June, add 15 lb/ac. hulled Bermudagrass. However, it is
preferable to seed temporary cover and seed Tall fescue in September.
Nurse Plants
Between May 1 and August 15 add 10 lbs/ac. German millet or 15 lb/ac. Sudangrass. Prior to
May 1 or after August 15, add 40 lb/ac. Rye (grain).
Seeding Dates
Best Possible
Fall Aug. 25 - Sept. 15 Aug. 20 - Oct. 25
Late winter Feb. 15. - Mar. 21 Feb. 1 - Apr. 15
Fall is the best for Tall fescue and late winter for lespedezas. Overseeding of lespedeza over fall
seeded Tall fescue is very effective. Use unhulled Bermudagrass seed in the fall.
Soil Amendments
Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil tests, or apply 4,000 lb/ac. ground agricultural limestone
and 1,000 lb/ac. 5-10-10- fertilizer.
Mulch
Apply 4,000-5,000 lb/ac. grain straw or an equivalent cover of another suitable mulching material..
Anchor mulch by tacking with asphalt, roving, or netting. Netting is preferred on steep slopes.
Maintenance
Refertilize in the second year unless growth is fully adequate. May be mowed once or twice a year,
but mowing is unnecessary. Reseed, fertilize, and mulch damaged areas immediately.

Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the
subject prc-construction notification. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions
of the Clean Watet Act of 1977 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
401, as amended; 16 U.S-C. 661-667d), and North. Carolina General Statutes (G. S. 113-131 et
sect.).
Applicant pro For to relocate a stormwater retention pond and an unnamcd tributary to
Big Branch to allow for expansion of the quarry, The relocation will impact 250 linear feel (If)
of stream, while 1000 if will be created by the relocation. Big Branch is a tributary of Walnut
Creek and is within the Neuse River basin. We concur with the proposed project. However, we
recommend that the process involve restoring as much of the natural geomorphic dimension,
pattern, and profile of the stream as possible and that bioeng?'nBering methods are utilized.
Additionally, a minimum 50-foot undisturbed, forested b: err should be maintained along all
intermittent streams and wetland areas, while a minimum 100-foot undisturbed, forested buffer
should be maintained along all perennial streams within the project area. Maintaining
undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas will minimize impacts to fish and wildlife
resources, water quality, and aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area. In
addition, wide riparian buffers are helpful in maintaining stability of stream banks, for treatment
of pollutants associated with urban stormwater, and provide continuous travel corridors for
wildlife.

requirements.
010626 (S&EC Consultants, Inc., Iredell Co.) - the site is most likely in the WS-IV-CA of Lake
Norman. No new roads in CA to the extent practicable; if allowed must minimize bua, divert
stormwater, use BMPs. Private roads must be included in the bua calculations. The state
minimum for WS-IV projects is that the WSWP rules don't apply to projects not needing a SEC
plan, but local gov't can be more protective. If SEC plan is needed, must comply with bua/buffer
requirements.

On April 25, 2001, your application for 401 Water Quality Certification for a
project in Wake County was received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality. Please note
that beginning January 1, 1999, the N.C. General Assembly passed legislation requiring
payment of a fee for all 401 applications. Your application is being returned since no
payment was received with the package. The fee for applications is $200 for projects
impacting less than an acre of wetland and less than 150 linear feet of streams. For
projects impacting one or more acres of wetland or 150 or more feet of streams, the fee is
$475. In order for DWQ to review and process your request, you must send a check in
the appropriate amount made payable to the N.C. Division of Water Quality attached to
your applications. Also, for your records, please notice our new address at the bottom of
this letter.
Please call Robert Ridings or Cyndi Karoly at 919-733-1786 or visit our web site
