Re: Martin Marietta Thomasville Quarry PCN Notification
Dear Mr. Thomas:
Please find the attached PCN requesting a NW 3 permit for the replacement of the existing CMP
culvert running under our entrance road. The replacement of this culvert will not increase the
stream impacts or the footprint of the existing culvert.
Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (704) 409 -1475 or via e -mail at jay.nivens @martinmarietta.com.
Sincerely,

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Martin Marietta proposes to replace the existing 72" CMP without increasing the footprint of the existing culvert.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Once approval has been obtained from the Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section and prior to the land clearing
phase, the clearing limits for the roadway and impact areas of the stream will be determined and properly flagged. Proir to
land clearing, erosion and sediment control devices will be installed to maintain water quality of the unnamed tributary. Once
installation of the pipe is finalized and construction activities have been completed, the area shall be seeded and stabilized to
prevent erosion and sedimentation. A 50' wide natural buffer will be maintained along the remaining length of the unnamed
tributaries, that traverses the property, as required by the NC Mining Act.

5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
While this PCN Notification is being reviewed, a revision to the Mining Permit will be requested prior to the construction of
the proposed stream crossings. During the Mine Permit modification process, the NC Division of Land Resources, Land
Quality Section routes the application through various agencies, including the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission for review, prior to issuance the modified Mine Permit. With this project being minor in scope with respect to
impacts related to stream and wetlands, no issues with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are
anticiapated nor have any issues been raised by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission on previous mining
permit modifications that have been issued for this location.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
❑ Yes ® No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
A review of the mapping site for essential fish habitiat was conducted. The link to the website is:
http://ocean.floridamarine.org/efh—coral/ims/viewer.htm
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
No historical resource was shown on a search of the NC Historic Sites website ( http : / /www.nchistoricsites.org /), and the
NC Office of Archives and History website ( http: / /www.history.ncdcr.gov /). In addition, the list of properties and districts in
North Carolina entered in the National Register of Historic Places was reviewed. This list can be found at the following
website link: http: / /www.hpo.ncdcr.gov /nrlist.htm. Furthermore, each time a Mine Permit modification is submitted
through the NC Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section, the application is routed through the NC Division of
Archives & History. A Mine Permit modification will be submitted for this project and based on our research, we do not
anticipate any historical or archeological issues or studies to be required prior to the approval of the Mining Permit
modification for this project.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA- designated 100 -year floodplain?
❑ Yes ® No
