• Active or inactive mining operations (including borrow pits —except for'NCDOT borrow pits) that discharge
stormwater contaminated with or that has come in contact with, any overburden, raw material, intermediate
products, finished products, byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;
• Stormwater from vehicle maintenance activities at mining operations;
• Overflow from facilities that recycle process wastewater; and/or
• Mine dewatering (wastewater)
The following activities are specifically excluded from coverage under this General Permit:
• Stormwater discharges associated with peat mining, coal mining, and metal mining;
• Stormwater discharges from mining operations which are intermixed on site with stormwater from asphalt
operations and/or concrete operations;
• Stormwater discharges associated with oil and gas extraction operations; and
• Stormwater discharges associated with tourist gem mines
• NCDOT borrow pits are covered under NCS000150
The following discharges are covered by NPDES general permit NCG520000 instead of NCG020000:
• Point source discharges of stormwater and wastewater from in -stream sand mining operations (i.e., sand
dredging or dipping operations)
For new mining sites that require an authorization to construct (ATC) wastewater treatment facilities: This
NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATC for new wastewater treatment facilities. ATC requests must be
submitted at least 90 days prior to construction'.
For existing mining sites that require an Authorization to Operate (A TO) wastewater treatment facilities:
This NOI is also an APPLICATION FOR an ATO for wastewater treatment facilities in place.
Construction modification or installation of any new treatment components at an existing site requires an
ATC. (If the site is already covered by NCG020000, the ATC request may be submitted without an NOI).
Some wastewater treatment facilities used to treat or recycle wastewater at mining sites will require an ATC rp for
to construction per 15A NCAC 2H .0138. Please see the NCG020000 General Permit for details about which
treatment facilities require an ATC (summarized in Table 1 below). The authorization to construct or continue
to operate will be issued at the same time as the Certificate of Coverage (COC) for the NCG02 permit. Design of
treatment facilities must comply with requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0138 & .0139.
Construction of wastewater treatment facilities subject to the ATC/ATO requirements in the NCG02 permit

SPECIFIC EROSION CONTROL MEASURES TO BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO
FURTHER LAND DISTURBING ACTIVITIES AND DURING QUARRYING TO
PREVENT OFFSITE SEDIN[ENTATION
Silt fences will be placed on the downslope side of locations where erosion could
remove sediment from areas that are not yet stabilized by vegetation or where
erodible materials such as overburden are temporarily placed. (Attachment 2, Item
2, pages . 2.3 - .. -2.5 contain specifications, construction sequence and
maintenance schedule for silt fences.)
2. Temporary sediment traps will be established at four locations indicated on the
Mine Map and identified in this Application as Sediment Trap # 1, etc.
(Attachment 2, Item 1, pages. 2.1 — _ 2.3 contain specifications, construction
sequence and maintenance schedule for temporary sediment traps).
3. Runoff diversions will be constructed at a number of places (see Mine Map) to
divert runoff from disturbed areas to sediment control structures. (Attachment 2,
Item 3, pages '-2.5 — . 2.10 contain specifications, construction sequence and
maintenance schedules for runoff diversions.)
4. All on site roads used in quarrying activities will be prepared to withstand heavy
truck traffic through paving, where necessary, with quarry waste rock. NC DOT
# 57 washed stone will be applied to the first 100 feet of the site access road to
control mud from leaving the property on truck tires. All road surfaces, outside of
pit areas, will be gently sloped such that rainfall will not concentrate and run
along the road but, instead, will run off toward the downhill side of the road.
Road shoulders will be stabilized with lespedeza and grass according to the
revegetation.plan. Where necessary, additional stabilization on road shoulders by
use of fiber net will be done until'vegetation is established. (Attachment 2. Item
4, pages _ 2.10 — : 2.11 contain specifications, construction sequence and
maintenance schedule for on site haul roads.)
5. Overburden stripped from rock to be quarried will be placed in temporary storage
piles at places prepared as outlined in steps 1 and 4 above. Sediment fences will
be employed down gradient from overburden piles to catch sediment. If
overburden is to be stored for more than 30 days outside of pit areas, rye (fall -
winter) or millet (spring -summer) will be seeded to reduce erosion and sediment
production potential.
5. Rock quarrying can begin after steps I through 5 above are completed.

MOUNTAIN CREEK QUARRY
REVEGETATYON PLAN
Reclamation Plan for the Quarry Site
The 47-acre tract owned by Mr. Harris that wifl host the proposed Mountain Creek Quarry is
entirely in slopes up to 15 percent and is mostly forested with a mixture of pines and hardwoods.
Reclamation planned for the site consists of returning the land to forest cover. It is further
planned that reclamation will be performed concurrently with mining such that not more than
about 5 acres will be devoid of vegetative cover at any one time.
Site Preparation
The ground will be graded and/or shaped where necessary keeping in mind the ultimate use of the
site. Where feasible, existing slopes to be vegetated will be filled and/or graded to a 2- I or flatter
slope. All reclaimed areas will be graded to achieve positive drainage off the site. No areas will
' be left that could retain bodies of stagnant water. Surface runoff that might concentrate to cause
erosion will be controlled by rip rap, terraces or diversions. Soil overburden stripped to expose
rock will be stockpiled and spread over the surface to be revegetated.
Lime and Fertilizer
The Granville County Soil Survey indicates that soils at the site are mostly either Georgeville silt
loam or Tatum loam, generally occurring on 2 to 25 percent slopes (Gallo, 1997, Soil Survey of
Granville County, North Carolina, Soils Map Sheet Number 6). These soils are described as
moderately to severely susceptible to erosion depending on land slopes (Gallo, pp. 32 & 61).
Soil tests performed by the Agronomic Division of the N.C. Department of Agriculture on
composited overburden samples stripped from quarry test pits at the site indicate a very acid soil
Iow in phosphorus (Soil test attached hereto).
For establishing lespedeza, grasses and, ultimately, pine trees on areas being reclaimed using
overburden, agricultural limestone shall be added at the rate of 5 tons per acre and commercial
fertilizers 17- 17-17 @ 300 lbs/ac and 0-46-0 @ 200 Ibs/ac.
- 13b -

:s
`I
t
f Seedbed Preparation
Lime and fertilizer shall be spread evenly over the surface and mixed with the overburden to a
depth of about 4 to b inches by disking or other suitable method.
Seedin
Sericea lespedeza and tall fescue shall be established on the seedbed to provide for ground cover
and erosion control. For winter planting, rye shall be added to the mixture and for summer
planting either German millet or Sudan grass shall be added. The following seed mixtures shall be
applied depending on the planting season:
Mar. -May Sericea Lespedeza (scarified) @ 30 lbs./ac
Tall Fescue @ 100 lbs./ac
May -Aug. Sericea Lespedeza (scarified) @ 30 lbs./ac
Tall Fescue @ 100 lbs./ac
German Millet @ 101bs./ac
Aug. -Sept. Sericea Lespedeza (unscarified) @ 40 lbs./ac
Tall Fescue @ 90 lbs./ac
Sept. -Mar. Sericea lespedeza (unscarified) @ 40 lbs./ac
Tall Fescue @ 901bs./ac
Rye @ 40 lbs./ac
Seed application shall be in a uniform manner either by machine or hand. Seed shall be covered to
a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch and the soil finned with a cultipacker or similar equipment.
Mul�_ ching
Immediately following seeding, mulch consisting of dry, unchopped small grain straw or similar
type material shall be spread evenly over the surface at the rate of I to 2 tons per acre or until
about 75 percent of the soil is hidden. Mulch may be anchored by one of several means. Some
anchoring will be provided during spring and summer by the rapidly -growing German millet and
during fall and winter by rye. A farm disk set nearly straight and run over the mulch will "punch"
or anchor the straw into the seedbed. Anchoring may also be achieved by spraying asphalt lightly
over the straw.
Tree Planting
Virginia or similar pine seedlings shall be planted during the year following grass establishment to
provide a return to vegetation indigenous to the area. Tree spacing shall be about 4' x 4'.
- 13c -

4
Maintenance
Areas of the quarry site will not be released from reclamation bond requirements until erosion is
controlled and vegetation is successfully established.
During the first year of vegetation establishment, the seeded areas shall be inspected for failures.
Repairs, reseeding and irrigation shall be performed as necessary. If vegetation fails to grow,
additional soil testing shall be performed and proper fertilizer nutrients will be applied. Plant
maintenance, including replanting, and other activities that are required to establish vegetative
cover appropriate to the reclamation of the site shall be carried out until vegetation is properly
established.

DETERMINATION OF SPECIFICATIONS FOR EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
CONTROLS
Planned activities at the Mountain Creek Quarry over the next ten years will result in a total of
approximately 7.5 acres of disturbed land, about 2.5 acres of which would be the quarry pit. The
mining plan to be followed at this site requires that reclamation follow quarrying as soon as
practical. Overburden temporarily stored will be used to reclaim the quarry pit as mining
progresses north to south. It is planned that about one half the pit and overburden storage areas
will have been reclaimed by the end of 10 years leaving a total of about 5 acres remaining to be
reclaimed.
Runoff from the affected areas will be conveyed by diversions to temporary sediment traps before
exiting the site. Sedimentation control structures are identified by numbers, e.g., Sediment Trap #
1, in this Attachment and on the Mine Map.
1. Peak Flows Through Runoff Control Structures.
Peak flow rates are determined using the Rational Method:
Q = CiA, where
Q = peak flow in cubic feet per second (cfs)
C = runoff coefficient
i = rainfall intensity in inches per hour
A = area of drainage in acres
In determining peak flow rates (Q), the following data and observations are employed;
Structures are designed for a 25-year rainstorm
A five minute duration for rainfall intensity and a travel time across drainage areas of
five minutes
Granville County 25-year storm (i) = 8 inches/hr. (1988 Manual, Figure 8.03e)
Runoff coefficient (C) for bare soils is 0.60 (1988 Manual, Table 8.03a). It is estimated
for gravelly, packed soils (stockpile area) at 0.40.
Drainage areas served by runoff control structures are determined from the Mine Map by
use of a compensating polar planimeter.
Slopes of planned runoff diversions are determined from topography shown on the Mine
Map.

CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
STRUCTURES
1. Temporary Sediment Traps
Temporary sediment traps are small ponding basins designed to detain sediment -laden runoff until
any contained sediment has time to settle to the bottom. Sediment traps require maintenance and
thus are located where access is such that accumulated sediment may be removed for proper
disposal and any needed repairs may be made. The area served by a sediment trap shall not
exceed five acres nor depth below spillway greater than 5 feet.
Sediment traps are planned for immediate installation at four locations at the Mountain Creek
Quarry. All traps are to be formed principally by excavating the pool areas. Embankments or dikes
may be required in some cases to assist in meeting proper dimensions. Both excavated and
embankment types trap sediment within the pool area and allow water to pass from the pool
through a specially constructed stone filter dam.
Figure D2.1 provides the essential construction specifications for temporary traps to be installed at
the Oxford Quarry Systems. Dimensions for individual sediment traps are given on page D2.2

Sediment Trap Dimensions, Trapping Efficiency, Surface Area Required and Sediment Volume
Capacities
The surface area (in acres) required to settle out fine particles from the water in
sediment trapping structures is determined using the following formula (Section 6.61,
1988 Manual)
Sediment Trap Surface Area = 0.01 Qto (In this case Q25 is used)

Sediment Trap Construction Sequence
1. Clear, grub and strip the area under the embankment of all vegetation, root mat, and
organic soils.
2. Material used for the embankment must be free of roots, woody vegetation, organic
material and other objectionable materials. All cut and fill slopes shall be 2:1 or flatter.
Place the embankment fill in lifts not to exceed 9 inches and machine compact it. Overfill
the embankment 6 inches to allow for settlement. The maximum embankment height
above natural ground shall be 5 feet.
3. Construct the outlet section (stone filter portion) of the embankment. Protect the
connection between the stone and embankment soil from piping by using filter fabric or a
clay keyway cutoff trench between the rip rap and the soil.
4. Clear the pond area below the elevation of the crest of the spillway to facilitate cleanout.
Excavate the entire pond area a minimum of 20 inches to insure that the bottom of the
pond is 5 feet below the stone spillway elevation.
5. The stone (drainage) section of the embankment must have a minimum bottom width of 3
feet and maximum side slopes of 1:1 that extend to the bottom of the spillway section.
-D2.2-

5. Construct the specified finished stone spillway bottom width as provided in Figure D2.1 with
2:1 side slopes extending to the top of the overfilled embankment. Keep the stone
thickness of the sides of the spillway outlet structure at a minimum of 21 inches. The weir
must be level and constructed to grade to assure design capacity.
7. Material used in the stone section should be a well -graded mixture of hard, angular and
weather -resistant stone with an average size of 9 inches and maximum size of 14 inches.
The stone may be machine placed with smaller stones hand placed in the voids between
larger stones,
8. Ensure that the stone spillway outlet section extends downstream past the toe of the
embankment and flush with the surrounding ground.
9. Place 1 foot of NC DOT # 57 washed stone on the pool side of the stone section.
10. Locate emergency spillway so that the overflow will not endanger the embankment.
11. Stabilize, through vegetation, the embankment and areas upstream and downstream from
the pool area immediately after construction.
12. Determine the distance from the top of the spillway to the sediment cleanout level (one-half
the design depth) and mark it in the sediment trap pool.
Maintenance
Inspect sediment traps after each significant rainfall. Remove sediment and restore the trap to its
dimensions when sediment has accumulated to one-half the design depth of the trap. Place
sediment removed with temporarily -stored overburden.
Check the structure for erosion or piping. Periodically check the depth of the spillway to ensure it is
a minimum of 1.5 feet below the low point of the embankment. Correct any deficiencies found.
Z. Sediment Fences
Sediment fences shall be employed from time to time to intercept sediment eroded from small
disturbed areas such as those newly graded that are in process of being established in vegetation or
at locations of temporary placement of overburden. The Mine Map shows typical locations where
silt fences must be employed.
-D2.3-

Figure D2.2, taken from the 1988 Manual, page 6.62.4, presents the essential design
specifications for sediment fences.

Figure D2.2. Installation Detail for a Sediment Fence
Concerning the use of sediment fences, the following shall be observed:
1. Fences shall not be placed across streams or runoff diversions.
2. Fences shall be used to control sediment from no more than 1/4 acre per each 100 feet of
fence.
3. The height of sediment fences shall not exceed 18 inches above the ground surface.
4. Fences shall be located so that only shallow pools of sediment can form behind them. The
depth of impounded sediment shall not exceed 1.5 feet at any point along the fence.
5. Fences shall be carefully constructed to prevent undercutting or end -around flow.
6. Filter fabric shall not be fastened to trees.
-D2.4-

Sediment Fence Construction Sequence
Excavate a trench approximately 4 inches wide and 8 inches deep along the proposed line
of the fence.
2. When a wire -mesh support fence is used, space posts a maximum of 8 feet apart on the
downhill side of the trench. If no wire mesh is to be used, place posts 4 feet apart.
Support posts shall be driven securely into the ground a minimum of 18 inches.
3. Attach filter fabric, cut from a continuous roll to avoid joints, and its backing of wire securely
to the upslope side of the posts using heavy-duty wire staples at least one inch long or wire
ties (necessary for metal posts). Extend the wire mesh to the bottom of the trench with
the filter fabric extended to the bottom and across the trench as shown in Figure A2,2. In
the event it is necessary to make a joint in the filter fabric, securely fasten the end of the
filter cloth only at a support post with an overlap to the next post.
4. Backfill the trench with compacted soil or gravel placed over the filter fabric.
Maintenance
Inspect filter fences at least once a week and after each rainfall until vegetation is well established.
Make any needed repairs immediately. Replace burlap every 60 days. Remove sediment deposits
to temporary overburden storage as necessary to provide adequate storage volume. Take care to
avoid undermining the fence during cleanout.
3. Runoff Diversions
Temporary runoff diversions are planned for the purpose of conveying potentially sediment -bearing
water toward sediment traps. Most diversions will be constructed on gentle slopes (5% or less) and
are planned to be grass -lined (Figure D2.3)
Diversion # 3A is planned to covey runoff from the southwest side of the permitted area northward
toward sediment trap # 3 (Mine Map). It will be rip rap -lined because of its relatively steep slope
(7.5%) and anticipated water volume (7 cfs during a 25-year rainstorm).
Diversion # 4A is planned to convey runoff from the initial mine pit area toward sediment trap # 4.
It will be partially rip rap -lined. Depending on the performance of sediment trap # 4, it may be
necessary to establish an additional trap in the northeast corner of the pit, upgradient from trap #
4.

Runoff Diversion Construction Specifications
1. The paths of runoff diversions must be carefully surveyed to insure proper and constant
slope toward their discharge points.
2. Dikes are to be constructed by excavating broad, shallow swales and placing the excavated
material along the downhill side of the swale to create a dike. The dike, also with low angle
slopes, must be well compacted. The entire swale and dike structure must be wide enough
that grass mowing by machine would be possible.
3. For grass -lined runoff diversions, the completed diversion shall be planted in grass in
accordance with the site revegetation plan. Following grass seeding, place a fiber net lining
over the straw mulch in the swale and stake it down to assist the mulch cover to resist
erosion during grass establishment.
4. For rip rap -lined runoff diversions, the Swale portion of the diversion shall be excavated with
a V-shaped cross section then lined in the center and part way up the sides with rip rap
stone as indicated on Figure A2.4 to create a trapezoidal shape. The finished rip rap -lined
channel shall have a relatively flat bottom. Note especially the extra excavation required for
rip rap placement.
5. Install a filter layer (gravel or fabric) on the bottom and sides of the portion of the channel
that is to receive rip rap. Where fabric is used, place upstream cloth sections over
downstream sections at all joints. Overlap should be 12 inches or more. The cloth is to be
securely held in place by metal pins.
6. Place rip rap stones evenly and carefully to avoid breaking the filter layer. In the event of a
break, remove stone and cover the break with additional gravel or cloth. Rip rap is to be
placed immediately following installation of the filter layer.
7. Construct the receiving end or outfall apron of the rip rapped channel on the same grade as
the natural slope of the receiving area with no overfall.
-D2.9-

Construction Sequence for Runoff Diversions (from 1988, Manual —page 6.31.3
1. Remove and properly dispose of all trees, brush, stumps, and other objectionable materials.
2. Ensure that the minimum constructed cross section and diversion path slope meet all design
requirements. For rip rap -lined diversions, note especially the additional excavation
required for rip rap placement.
3. Ensure that the top of the dike (ridge) is not lower than the design elevation (12 inches)
plus the specified settlement (2 inches).
4. Provide sufficient room around diversions to permit machine maintenance and cleanout.
Vegetate the diversion immediately after construction. Place and stake down fiber netting
on straw -covered, newly seeded swale portions of grass -lined diversions.
6. Vegetate the rip rap -lined channels above the level of the stone in the channels.
Maintenance
Inspect diversions frequently (weekly until vegetation is established) and especially after a heavy
rainfall. Immediately remove sediment from the flow areas and make any needed repairs to the
diversion dike, swale lining and outlet areas.
4. Haul Roads
Construction specifications for haul roads
The following specifications do not apply to roads located in active pit areas.
Quarry access and on site haul roads shall be constructed to a minimum width of 20 feet and
stabilized with gravel. Gravel may be quarry waste rock.
The first 100 feet of the quarry entry road shall be upgraded with a minimum of 6 inches of NC
DOT # 5 stone or NC DOT # 57 washed. The purpose of this type stone is to clean vehicle tires
exiting the quarry site. This stone must be replaced when it becomes so muddy that it is no longer
effective at cleaning tires.
It is planned that no side ditches to convey runoff will be employed. Instead, all haul roads shall be
gently sloped toward the downhill side so that runoff will run across and off the road to be
dispersed in vegetated areas or to runoff diversion channels. This will avoid the problem of runoff
becoming concentrated along side or on top of roads causing channel erosion and also the problem
of providing and maintaining cross -road drains to convey water from ditches located on the uphill
side of roads. Small arrows located along site roads indicate the down slope/runoff direction. All
roads and parking areas outside of the active pit shall be armored by coarse gravel or quarry rock
waste and road sides shall be protected by vegetation.
-D2.10-

Construction Seguence for Roadway
1. Grade and smooth all roads to specified widths and contours.
2. Spread and smooth 3 to 6 inches of gravel over roadways and parking areas near the office.
Six inches of washed stone must be applied to the first 100 feet of the entrance road.
3. Smooth and establish all disturbed areas adjacent to haul roads and parking areas in
vegetation following procedures in the site revegetation plan. This requirement does not
NMI to roads within the active pit or to roads and parking in the rock processing/stockpile
areas.
Maintenance
Inspect roadways and parking areas and adjacent vegetated areas after each significant rainfall.
Immediately repair as necessary. Inspect gravel surfaces frequently to determine whether
additional gravel is needed to prevent ruts that could become water carriers or needed to clean tires
on vehicles exiting the quarry property. Be sure that the road slope toward the downhill side is
maintained.
S. Under Road Pipe Drain
A pipe to convey runoff beneath the haul road near where it enters the quarry pit will be installed
updrainage from sediment trap # 3 (Mine Map). Information concerning the peak discharge rate at
this location from a 25-year rainstorm (Q = 6 cfs) is presented on page D1.2 of Attachment 1.
Information presented in Table 8.07a, 1988 Manual, indicates that a 25-foot long corrugated metal
pipe installed at this location must be 12 inches in diameter to accommodate a 25-year rainstorm.

quarry affected areas.
4. Upgrade existing on -site roads, as well as haul roads designed specifically for quarry -
activities.
5. Strip overburden from rock deposits and sell or place in temporary storage at places
prepared (step I above).
6. Rock quarrying and processing can commence after steps I through 5 (above) are
completed.

�I
SPECIFIC EROSION CONTROL MEASURES TO BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO
FURTHER LAND DISTURBING ACTIVITIES AND DURING QUARRYING TO
PREVENT OFFSITE SEDIMENTATION
1. Silt fences will be placed on the downslope side of locations where erosion could
remove sediment from areas that are not yet stabilized by vegetation or where
erodible materials such as overburden are temporarily placed. (Attachment 2, Item
2, pages 2.3 - ,..2.5 contain specifications, construction sequence and
maintenance schedule for silt fences..)
2. Temporary sediment traps will be established at four locations indicated on the
Mane Map and identified in this Application as Sediment Trap # 1, etc.
(Attachment 2, Item 1, pages. -2.1— . 2.3 contain specifications, construction
sequence and maintenance schedule for temporary sediment traps).
3. Runoff diversions will be constructed at a number of places (see Mine Map) to
divert runoff from disturbed areas to sediment control structures. (Attachment 2,
Item 3, pages '25 — . 2.10 contain specifications, construction sequence and
maintenance schedules for runoff diversions.)
4. All on site roads used in quarrying activities will be prepared to withstand heavy
truck traffic through paving, where necessary, with quarry waste rock. NC DOT
# 57 washed stone will be applied to the first 100 feet of the site access road to
control mud from leaving the property on trick tires. All road surfaces, outside of
pit areas, will be gently sloped such that rainfall will not concentrate and run
along the road but, instead, will run off toward the downhill side of the road.
Road shoulders will be stabilized with lespedeza and grass according to the
revegetation.plan. Where necessary, additional stabilization on road shoulders by
use of fiber net will be done until- vegetation is established. (Attachment 2. Item
4, pages . ,2.10 — - 2.11 contain specifications, construction sequence and
maintenance schedule for on site haul roads.)
5. Overburden stripped from rock to be quarried will be placed in temporary storage
piles at places prepared as outlined in steps 1 and 4 above. Sediment fences will
be employed down gradient from overburden piles to catch sediment. If
overburden is to be stored for more than 30 days outside of pit areas, rye (fall -
winter) or millet (spring -summer) will be seeded to reduce erosion and sediment
production potential.
6. Rock quarrying can begin after steps 1 through 5 above are completed.

MOUNTAIN CREEK QUARRY
REVEGETATION PLAN
Reclamation Plan for the Ouara Site
The 47-acre tract owned by Mr. Harris that will host the proposed Mountain Creek Quarry is
entirely in slopes up to 15 percent and is mostly forested with a mixture of pines and hardwoods.
Reclamation planned for the site consists of returning the land to forest cover. It is further
planned that reclamation will be performed concurrently with mining such that not more than
about 5 acres will be devoid of vegetative cover at any one time.
Site Preparation
The ground will be graded and/or shaped where necessary keeping in mind the ultimate use of the
site. Where feasible, existing slopes to be vegetated will be filled and/or graded to a 2:1 or flatter
slope. All reclaimed areas will be graded to achieve positive drainage off the site, No areas will
J be left that could retain bodies of stagnant water. Surface runoff that might concentrate to cause
erosion will be controlled by rip rap, terraces or diversions. Soil overburden stripped to expose
rock will be stockpiled and spread over the surface to be revegetated.
Lime and Fertilizer
J
The Granville County Soil Survey indicates that soils at the site are mostly either Georgeville silt
loam or Tatum loam, generally occurring on 2 to 25 percent slopes (Gallo, 1997, Soil Survey of
Granville County, North Carolina, Soils Map Sheet Number 6). These soils are described as
moderately to severely susceptible to erosion depending on land slopes (Gallo, pp. 32 & 61).
Soil tests performed by the Agronomic Division of the N.C. Department of Agriculture on
composited overburden samples stripped from quarry test pits at the site indicate a very acid soil
low in phosphorus (Soil test attached hereto).
For establishing lespedeza, grasses and, ultimately, pine trees on areas being reclaimed using
overburden, agricultural limestone shall be added at the rate of 5 tons per acre and commercial
fertilizers 17-17-17 @ 300 ibs/ac and 0-46-0 @ 200 lbs/ac.
- 13b -

l
i
I
Seedbed Preparation
Lime and fertilizer shall be spread evenly over the surface and mixed with the overburden to a
depth of about 4 to 6 inches by disking or other suitable method.
Seedin
Sericea iespedeza and tall fescue shall be established on the seedbed to provide for ground cover
and erosion control. For winter planting, rye shall be added to the mixture and for summer
planting either German millet or Sudan grass shall be added. The following seed mixtures shall be
applied depending on the planting season.
Mar. -May Sericea Lespedeza (scarified) @ 30 lbs./ac
TO Fescue @ 100 lbs./ac
May -Aug. Sericea Lespedeza (scarified) @ 30 lbs./ac
Tall Fescue @ 100 lbs,/ac
German Millet @ 10 lbs./ac
Aug. -Sept. Sericea Lespedeza (unscarified) @ 40 lbs./ac
Tall Fescue @ 90 Ibs./ac
Sept. -Mar. Sericea lespedeza (unscarified) @ 40 lbs./a .
Tall Fescue @ 90 lbs./ac
Rye @ 40 lbs./ac
Seed application shall be in a uniform manner either by machine or hand. Seed shall be covered to
a depth of 1/8 to 1/4 inch and the soil firmed vsrith a cultipacker or similar equipment.
Mulching
Immediately following seeding, mulch consisting of dry, unchopped small grain straw or similar
type material shall be spread evenly over the surface at the rate of 1 to 2 tons per acre or until
about 75 percent of the soil is hidden. Mulch may be anchored by one of several means. Some
anchoring will be provided during spring and summer by the rapidly -growing German millet and
during fall and winter by rye, A farm disk set nearly straight and run over the mulch will "punch"
or anchor the straw into the seedbed. Anchoring may also be achieved by spraying asphalt lightly
over the straw.
Tree Planting
Virginia or similar pine seedlings shall be planted during the year following grass establishment to
provide a return to vegetation indigenous to the area. Tree spacing shall be about 4' x 4'.
- 13c -

I
0
IL
Maintenance
Areas of the quarry site will not be released from reclamation bond requirements until erosion is
controlled and vegetation is successfully established.
During the first year of vegetation establishment, the seeded areas shall be inspected for failures.
Repairs, reseeding and irrigation shall be performed as necessary. If vegetation fails to grow,
additional soil testing shall be performed and proper fertilizer nutrients will be applied. Plant
maintenance, including replanting, and other activities that are required to establish vegetative
cover appropriate to the reclamation of the site shall be carried out until vegetation is properly
established.

ATTACHMENT 1
DETERMINATION OF SPECIFICATIONS FOR EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
CONTROLS
Planned activities at the Mountain Creek Quarry over the next ten years will result in a total of
approximately 7.5 acres of disturbed land, about 2.5 acres of which would be the quarry pit. The
mining plan to be followed at this site requires that reclamation follow quarrying as soon as
practical. Overburden temporarily stored will be used to reclaim the quarry pit as mining
progresses north to south. It is planned that about one half the pit and overburden storage areas
will have been reclaimed by the end of 10 years leaving a total of about 5 acres remaining to be
reclaimed.
Runoff from the affected areas will be conveyed by diversions to temporary sediment traps before
exiting the site. Sedimentation control structures are identified by numbers, e.g., Sediment Trap #
1, in this Attachment and on the. Mine Map.
1. Peak Flows Through Runoff_ Control Structures.
Peak flow rates are determined using the Rational Method:
Q = CIA, where
Q = peak flow in cubic feet per second (cfs)
C = runoff coefficient
i = rainfall intensity in inches per hour
A = area of drainage in acres
In determining peak flow rates (Q), the following data and observations are employed:
Structures are designed for a 25-year rainstorm
A five minute duration for rainfall intensity and a travel time across drainage areas of
five minutes
Granville County 25-year storm (1) = 6 inches/hr. (1988 Manual, Figure 8.03e)
Runoff coefficient (C) for bare soils is 0.60 (1988 Manual, Table 8.03a)• It is estimated
for gravelly, packed soils (stockpile area) at 0.40.
Drainage areas served by runoff control structures are determined from the Mine Map by
use of a compensating polar planimeter.
Slopes of planned runoff diversions are determined from topography shown on the Mine
Map.

CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL
STRUCTURES
1. Temporary Sediment Traps
Temporary sediment traps are small ponding basins designed to detain sediment -laden runoff until
any contained sediment has time to settle to the bottom. Sediment traps require maintenance and
thus are located where access is such that accumulated sediment may be removed for proper
disposal and any needed repairs may be made. The area served by a sediment trap shall not
exceed five acres nor depth below spillway greater than 5 feet.
Sediment traps are planned for immediate installation at four locations at the Mountain Creek
Quarry. All traps are to be formed principally by excavating the pool areas. Embankments or dikes
may be required in some cases to assist in meeting proper dimensions. Both excavated and
embankment types trap sediment within the pool area and allow water to pass from the pool
through a specially constructed stone filter dam.
Figure D2.1.provides the essential construction specifications for temporary traps to be installed at
the Oxford Quarry Systems. Dimensions for individual sediment traps are given on page D2,2

Sediment Trap _Constructlon Sequence
1, Clear, grub and strip the area under the embankment of all vegetation, root mat, and
organic soils.
2. Material used for the embankment must be free of roots, woody vegetation, organic
material and other objectionable materials. All cut and fill slopes shall be 2:1 or flatter.
Place the embankment fill in lifts not to exceed 9 inches and machine compact it. Overfill
the embankment 6 inches to allow for settlement. The maximum embankment height
above natural ground shall be 5 feet.
3. Construct the outlet section (stone filter portion) of the embankment. Protect the
connection between the stone and embankment soil from piping by using filter fabric or a
clay keyway cutoff trench between the rip rap and the soil.
4. Clear the pond area below the elevation of the crest of the spillway to facilitate cleanout.
Excavate the entire pond area a minimum of 20 inches to insure that the bottom of the
pond is 5 feet below the stone spillway elevation.
5. The stone (drainage) section of the embankment must have a minimum bottom width of 3
feet and maximum side slopes of 1:1 that extend to the bottom of the spillway section.
-D2.2-

6. Construct the specified finished stone spillway bottom width as provided in Figure D2.1 with
2:1 side slopes extending to the top of the overfilled embankment. Keep the stone
thickness of the sides of the spillway outlet structure at a minimum of 21 inches. The weir
must be level and constructed to grade to assure design capacity.
7. Material used in the stone section should be a well -graded mixture of hard, angular and
weather -resistant stone with an average size of 9 inches and maximum size of 14 inches.
The stone may be machine placed with smaller stones hand placed in the voids between
larger stones.
8. Ensure that the stone spillway outlet section extends downstream past the toe of the
embankment and flush with the surrounding ground.
9. Place 1 foot of NC DOT # 57 washed stone on the pool side of the stone section.
10. Locate emergency spillway so that the overflow will not endanger the embankment.
11. Stabilize, through vegetation, the embankment and areas upstream and downstream from
the pool area immediately after construction.
12. Determine the distance from the top of the spillway to the sediment cleanout level (one-half
the design depth) and mark it in the sediment trap pool.
Maintenance
Inspect sediment traps after each significant rainfall. Remove sediment and restore the trap to its
dimensions when sediment has accumulated to one-half the design depth of the trap. Place
sediment removed with temporarily -stared overburden.
Check the structure for erosion or piping. Periodically check the depth of the spillway to ensure it is
a minimum of 1.5 feet below the low point of the embankment. Correct any deficiencies found.
2. Sediment Fences
Sediment fences shall be employed from time to time to intercept sediment eroded from small
disturbed areas such as those newly graded that are in process of being established in vegetation or
at locations of temporary placement of overburden. The Mine Map shows typical locations where
silt fences must be employed.
-D2.3-

Figure D2.2, taken from the 1988 Manual, page 6.62.4, presents the essential design
specifications for sediment fences.

Figure D2.2. Installation Detail for a Sediment Fence
Concerning the use of sediment fences, the following shall be observed:
1. Fences shall not be placed across streams or runoff diversions.
2. Fences shall be used to control sediment from no more than 1/4 acre per each 100 feet of
fence.
3. The height of sediment fences shall not exceed 18 inches above the ground surface.
4. Fences shall be located so that only shallow pools of sediment can form behind them. The
depth of impounded sediment shall not exceed 1.5 feet at any point along the fence,
5. Fences shall be carefully constructed to prevent undercutting or end -around flow.
6. Filter fabric shall not be fastened to trees.
-D2.4-

Sediment Fence Construction. Sequence
1. Excavate a trench approximately 4 inches wide and 8 inches deep along the proposed line
of the fence.
2. When a wire -mesh support fence is used, space posts a maximum of 8 feet apart on the
downhill side of the trench. If no wire mesh is to be used, place posts 4 feet apart.
Support posts shall be driven securely into the ground a minimum of 18 inches.
3. Attach filter fabric, cut from a continuous roll to avoid joints, and its backing of wire securely
to the upslope side of the posts using heavy-duty wire staples at least one inch long or wire
ties (necessary for metal posts). Extend the wire mesh to the bottom of the trench with
the filter fabric extended to the bottom and across the trench as shown in Figure A2.2. In
the event it is necessary to make a joint in the filter fabric, securely fasten the end of the
filter cloth only at a support post with an overlap to the next post.
4. Backfill the trench with compacted soil or gravel placed over the filter fabric.
Maintenance
Inspect filter fences at least once a week and after each rainfall until vegetation is well established.
Make any needed repairs immediately. Replace burlap every 60 days. Remove sediment deposits
to temporary overburden storage as necessary to provide adequate storage volume. Take care to
avoid undermining the fence during cleanout.
3. Runoff Diversions
Temporary runoff diversions are planned for the purpose of conveying potentially sediment -bearing
water toward sediment traps. Most diversions will be constructed on gentle slopes (5% or less) and
are planned to be grass -lined (Figure D2.3)
Diversion # 3A is planned to covey runoff from the southwest side of the permitted area northward
toward sediment trap # 3 (Mine Map). It will be rip rap -lined because of its relatively steep slope
(7.5%) and anticipated water volume (7 cfs during a 25-year rainstorm).
Diversion # 4A is planned to convey runoff from the initial mine pit area toward sediment trap # 4.
It will be partially rip rap -lined. Depending on the performance of sediment trap # 4, it may be
necessary to establish an additional trap in the northeast corner of the pit, upgradient from trap #
4.

Runoff Diversion Construction Specifications
The paths of runoff diversions must be carefully surveyed to insure proper and constant
slope toward their discharge points.
Dikes are to be constructed by excavating broad, shallow swales and placing the excavated
material along the downhill side of the swale to create a dike. The dike, also with low angle
slopes, must be well compacted. The entire swale and dike structure must be wide enough
that grass mowing by machine would be possible.
3. For grass -lined runoff diversions, the completed diversion shall be planted in grass in
accordance with the site revegetation plan. Following grass seeding, place a fiber net lining
over the straw mulch in the swale and stake it down to assist the mulch cover to resist
erosion during grass establishment.
4. For rip rap -lined runoff diversions, the swale portion of the diversion shall be excavated with
a V-shaped cross section then lined in the center and part way up the sides with rip rap
stone as indicated on Figure A2.4 to create a trapezoidal shape. The finished rip rap -lined
channel shall have a relatively flat bottom. Note especially the extra excavation required for
rip rap placement.
5. Install a filter layer (gravel or fabric) on the bottom and sides of the portion of the channel
that is to receive rip rap. Where fabric is used, place upstream cloth sections over
downstream sections at all joints. Overlap should be 12 inches or more. The cloth is to be
securely held in place by metal pins.
6. Place rip rap stones evenly and carefully to avoid breaking the filter layer. In the event of a
break, remove stone and cover the break with additional gravel or cloth. Rip rap is to be
placed immediately following installation of the filter layer.
7. Construct the receiving end or outfall apron of the rip rapped channel on the same grade as
the natural slope of the receiving area with no overfall.
-D2.9-

Construction Sequence for Runoff Diversions (from 1988, Manual, page 6.31.3)
Remove and properly dispose of all trees, brush, stumps, and other objectionable materials.
2. Ensure that the minimum constructed cross section and diversion path slope meet all design
requirements. For rip rap -lined diversions, note especially the additional excavation
required for rip rap placement.
Ensure that the top of the dike (ridge) is not lower than the design elevation (12 inches)
plus the specified settlement (2 inches).
4. Provide sufficient room around diversions to permit machine maintenance and cleanout.
5. Vegetate the diversion immediately after construction. Place and stake down fiber netting
on straw -covered, newly seeded swale portions of grass -lined diversions.
6. Vegetate the rip rap -lined channels above the level of the stone in the channels.
Maintenance
Inspect diversions frequently (weekly until vegetation is established) and especially after a heavy
rainfall. Immediately remove sediment from the flow areas and make any needed repairs to the
diversion dike, swale lining and outlet areas.
4. Haul Roads
Construction specifications for haul roads
The following specifications do not apply to roads located in active pit areas.
Quarry access and on site haul roads shall be constructed to a minimum width of 20 feet and
stabilized with gravel. Gravel may be quarry waste rock.
The first 100 feet of the quarry entry road shall be upgraded with a minimum of 6 inches of NC
DOT # 5 stone or NC DOT # 57 washed. The purpose of this type stone is to clean vehicle tires
exiting the quarry site. This stone must be replaced when it becomes so muddy that it is no longer
effective at cleaning tires.
It is planned that no side ditches to convey runoff will be employed. Instead, all haul roads shall be
gently sloped toward the downhill side so that runoff will run across and off the road to be
dispersed in vegetated areas or to runoff diversion channels. This will avoid the problem of runoff
becoming concentrated along side or on top of roads causing channel erosion and also the problem
of providing and maintaining cross -road drains to convey water from ditches located on the uphill
side of roads. Small arrows located along site roads indicate the down slope/runoff direction. All
roads and parking areas outside of the active pit shall be armored by coarse gravel or quarry rock
waste and road sides shall be protected by vegetation.
-D2.10-

Construction Sequence for Roadways
Grade and smooth all roads to specified widths and contours.
Spread and smooth 3 to 6 inches of gravel over roadways and parking areas near the office.
Six inches of washed stone must be applied to the first 100 feet of the entrance road.
Smooth and establish all disturbed areas adjacent to haul roads and parking areas in
vegetation following procedures in the site revegetation plan. This requirement does not
apply to roads within the active pit or to roads and parking in the rock processing/stockpile
areas.
Maintenance
Inspect roadways and parking areas and adjacent vegetated areas after each significant rainfall.
Immediately repair as necessary. Inspect gravel surfaces frequently to determine whether
additional gravel is needed to prevent ruts that could become water carriers or needed to clean tires
on vehicles exiting the quarry property. Be sure that the road slope toward the downhill side is
maintained.
5. Under Road Pipe Drain
A pipe to convey runoff beneath the haul road near where it enters the quarry pit will be installed
updrainage from sediment trap # 3 (Mine Map). Information concerning the peak discharge rate at
this location from a 25-year rainstorm (Q = 6 cfs) is presented on page D1.2 of Attachment 1.
Information presented in Table 8.07a, 1988 Manual, indicates that a 25-foot long corrugated metal
pipe installed at this location must be 12 inches in diameter to accommodate a 25-year rainstorm.
