9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: Currently the site is a mix of agricultural fields and
woodland. The wooded areas are comprised of mature pine and hardwood trees. There is a
creek along the northern boundary of the project site that flows to the east and drains to the
Roanoke River. There are wetlands located adjacent to this creek that extend onto the site.
Page 2 of 10

This area is currently forested and no impacts are proposed to these wetlands. There are also
two smaller wetland areas along the eastern side of the site that drain to another unnamed
stream channel that flows eastward to the Roanoke River. The proposed impacts will occur
within the upper end of the northern-most of these two wetland areas. A small section of
stream channel with identifiable bed and bank is also located immediatel~pstream of the
southern finger of the wetland to be impacted. The wetland and streams on the site were
delineated and approved by the USACE in 2002 (AID 200220301). Figure 3 shows an aerial
view and soils on the project site.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project will include the development of an ag rg~e ate quarry The mine pit is to
be located in the northern portion of the site where there is the largest usable area, which will
allow for the production of the greatest quantity of mined material. No impact to adiacent
wetlands located along the northern property boundary will be required. The processing
area including_the sorting_yard and water retention pond will be located on the southern side
of the site. The pond will be constructed within the upper end of a toppog_raphic draw on the
project site The dam will be an earthen dam with a concrete spillway on the southern end
that will function as the normal pond outlet and emergency spillway. The spillway has been
designed with aloes-flow ape that leads to a level spreader intended to disperse normal
flows before they enter wetland. This is being done to maintain hydrology within the
wetland and to prevent the formation of a stream channel through the wetlands below the
pond Storm flows in excess of the level spreader conduit volume will be carried all the way
down the concrete spillway. The pond desi ng is depicted in Figure 5. The pond will be
constructed using_typical earthmoving equipment (e.~., backhoe, bulldozer, excavator, dump
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the proposed project is to supply
a~~regate to the local area. The purpose of the wetland impact is to allow for the
construction of a retention facili to supply water, which is required for the processin og f the
a~~re~ate A water use estimate is included as Exhibit B.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules. The project site was delineated in 2002 (USACE AID 200220301),
however there is no prior permitting associated with this project.

Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
Entire project is presented in this application. The mine pit will be limited to the upland areas of
the nroiect.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: All impacts are depicted on figure 2.
Wetland Impact 1 and 2 (Permanent): Wetland impacts 1 (0.21 acre) and 2 (0.06 acre) will
result from excavation and flooding regLuired to establish the normal pool of the retention pond.
Wetland Impact 3 (Permanent): Wetland impact 3 (0.21 acres) will result from the placement
of fill material for the construction of the earthen dam across the draw.
Stream Channel Imuact 1 (Permanent): Stream impact 1 (68 linear feet and 0.006 acre) will
result from excavation and flooding required to establish the normal pool of the retention pond.
This small segment of stream is located just upstream from the wetland area.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,

the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
Page 5 of 10

8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ®uplands ®stream ®wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Earthen Dam with concrete spillway.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): Water retention for industrial use.
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Forested and Agricultural
Size of watershed draining to pond: 123 Acres Expected pond surface area: 8.9 Acres
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The processing of aggregate on the site requires a large volume of water for several uses,
including material washing,_plant dust suppression road dust suppression, wash down, and
cooling water. Numerous alternates were considered for water supply, including well water and
construction of a pond in alternate locations on the property. Due to the volume of water
required well water was not considered a viable alternative. Other drainages on the project site
were also considered however no other locations had a sufficient drainage area to provide the
necessary volume of water. Additionally, alternative sites were limited to those with the
topography necessary to construct a pond At the selected site several alternatives were
considered and the least dama~g~racticable alternative was selected. All of the evaluated
alternatives are presented in Exhibit D. The selected alternative is not the most preferable
alternative to the applicant. Because of the requirement for a screening berm along the property
line the applicant would have preferred to use the berm as the dam. This alternative would have
required that the pond be moved downstream to the property line resulting in approximately
acres of additional impact (See Option 1 in the Pond-Wetland Analysis, Exhibit D). In order to
minimize the impact to wetlands this alternative was rejected. The pond will also use the
discharge water from the pit to supplement the drainage leadin tg o the pond. Unfortunately, this
discharge will be minimal at first because the pit will not be deep enough to generate a useful
volume of water until later in the lifespan of the mine.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 6 of 10

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program NCEEP is proposed for
mitigation of wetland and buffer impacts. Mitigation is proposed at a 2:1 ratio for 0.48 acres
of impact (0 96 acres of non-riparian wetland mitigation). The approval from NCEEP is
attached as Exhibit C.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at

Page 8 of 10

XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level.
The northern portion of the site will be where the mine pit is located. Stormwater and
groundwater from the pit will be pumped to the pond to be used in the processing of the
a~~re~ate. The plant that crushes the rock and sorts it into_piles will be mostly located within the
drainage to the pond, so that the majority of the stormwater generated by this area will be
collected in the pond and reused. In addition, an NPDES permit has been issued for the site.
The discharge location for the permit is downstream of the pond. There are several draina eg son
the southern portion of the site (south of the pond), however no activities are currently proposed
in these areas, which will all drain through culverts beneath the screening berm, with the
exception of a small wetland that will drain through a gap in the berm.
Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Groundwater pumped from the mine pit will be discharged to the pond to be reused in the
processing of the aggregate. An NPDES~ermit for the site has been issued.
XII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ^ No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No
XIII. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
The proposed project is an industrial site that should not create additional development in the
surrounding_area. Additionally, the site has sufficient mineral deposits to stay in production for
several decades without further expansion.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that
the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. Uwe have not received a copy of
the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the
applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice
will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized
work. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and
policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the
followine table.

Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies
require mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional
mitigation, the applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The
mitigation will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N. C. Depaztment of
Environment and Natural Resources and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.
