Martin Marietta's Hickory DENR- WATER QUALITY
Quarry WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
Dear Ms. Karoly:
Please find enclosed a copy of our IP Application submitted to the USACE to construct a
permanent CMP crossing and impact 80' of Clark Creek at our Hickory Quarry location. With
a copy of this completed application, we also request an IP Certification from DWQ. I've
enclosed a $240 check for this certification request.
Please note that a copy of the Corps submittal and check was originally submitted to the
Mooresville Regional Office on September 22, 2011. This is the reason for their received stamp
on the check. The check was returned to us so that we could resubmit to the Wetlands/ 401
Unit. Please feel free to contact me at [phone], or on my mobile at 336-215-5497 if you
have any questions or need any additional information.

Worksheet, and our DWQ Stream ID Form. Thank you for your assistance with this project,
and we look forward to working through this permit process with your help. Please feel free to
contact me at [phone], or on my mobile at 336-215-5497 if you have any questions or
need any additional information.

From Asheville, take I-40 E to Hickory. Take Exit 125 and turn left onto Lenoir Rhyne Blvd. After crossing back over the interstate, turn
right onto 11th Ave, SE next to Charter Communications. The road will dead end at the quarry.
18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features)
Construct a CNT crossing over Clark Creek.
19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions)
The basic project purpose for the proposed activity is to construct a permanent crossing over Clark Creek to access our permitted
overburden storage area in order to continue operations and maintain supply for the local demand of aggregate. The overburden must be
removed to reach the existing bedrock. The removal of the 1,293,970 yards of overburden will essentially allow for an additional 15 years
of operation from this quarry location. The crossing will be installed after approval from the NCDENR, Division of Land Resources and
401 approval from the Division of Water Quality.

23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions)
The area chosen will minimize any additional stream bank disturbance due to the topography of the location. This area was also chosen in
order to provide the most direct access across the creek and avoid any unnecessary or further disturbance. The chosen site is in a section of
the stream that is straight and will not impact existing meanders within the channel.
(continued on attached sheet)
ENG FORM 4345, OCT 2010
Block 23
Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation
(continued from IP Form)
The consequenses of not impacting this channel and providing access to store overburden material in
the permitted area will greatly reduce the life of this facility. The rock that we mine and process is
located under a substantial layer of native soils (overburden). This material must be removed and
deposited on the property, occupying countless acres. Access to this overburden storage area will allow
expansion of the existing pit. Without access to this area our reserves are limited. As a result, the local
supply of aggregate will be eliminated and other sources will need to be evaluated.
An onsite alternative that was considered involved upgrading an old existing crossing that appears to
have been installed when the old sewer line was replaced years ago. This existing crossing is located
closer to the overburden removal area. However, upgrading this crossing to meet current required
safety standards (a requirement of the Mining Safety and Health Administration) would cause additional
impacts to a second stream channel. It was determined that if this crossing was upgraded, the crossing
that is the subject of this submital would still be necessary. Therefore, it was decided that the current
location would work best for the proposed crossing, with the least amount of disturbance and impacts to
all stream channels.
Martin Marietta has considered and performed preliminary investigations of installing a bridge to span
Clark Creek. Although the bridge will not require permitting from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or
the NC Division of Water Quality, it will require the design criteria for a loaded Caterpillar 775F haul
truck. The bridge would measure 30' long x 100' wide. Our engineering staff's preliminary estimate of
the cost of the bridge installation is $150 per square foot, for a total of $450,000. We have corrugatted
metal pipe available at another quarry that was destined for another project, but was never utilized. We
have contacted the location, and confirmed that this existing pipe can be used for the crossing. The
cost of this pipe and installation will total approximately $17,000.
After the costs were analyzed and consideration was made for the limitations of the current safety
requirements, the surrounding topography, and the required infrastructure potential, it was determined
that the bridge construction and installation would not be a feasible crossing alternative.
Martin Marietta proposes to mitigate for the 80' stream channel impact, and will make payment to the
NCEEP. We received notification on May 25, 2011 that the agency will accept payment for the
associated impacts.

This acceptance is valid for nine months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we 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 following
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 N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Ecosystem Enhancement Program In-Lieu Fee

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
