Cyndi- attached is scanned copy of public comment/MMM Vanceboro that was addressed directly
to me, but mentions both NPDES and 401. I'll also give you hardcopy for central storage.

Re:
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.-
Vanceboro Quarry
NPDES and 401 certification comments
Dear Mr. Belnick,
Please accept the following comments regarding Martin Marietta Materials, Inc draft NPDES
permit and Clean Water Act Section 401 certification permit request to operate a 649 acre open -
pit mine in Beaufort County.
I am a member of the Pamlico Tar River Foundation and I support their position concerning this
project.
I recommend that the Division deny the NPDES permit based on the fact the
Discharge would violate the pH water quality standard for swamp waters. I believe that the
company has failed to demonstrate that alternatives to a direct discharge that would avoid or
minimize impacts to Blounts Creek and the area's groundwater resource are not practicable,
therefore the Division cannot approve the 401 WQC.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, /
Linda Boyer
