Dear Mr. Hardee,
This correspondence is the result of a series of events to obtain the correct Water Quality
permits for the above facility. After an onsite meeting last year with Aquifer Protection
and Surface Water a revised NOI for a general stormwater permit was sent to WQ in
June.
The company received a new General Permit No. NCG020000, COG NCG020731 in
August of 2011. Due to the issuance if this new stormwater permit we request by this
letter that Wastewater Recycle Permit No. WQ0004624 be rescinded as it has been
replaced with the new permit.
Should you have questions concerning this matter please call Josh Boone at 828-756-
4426.

Dear Ms. Price,
Please find enclosed a copy of calculations and other instructions necessary to reconstruct
a storm water detention pond at the above named facility pursuant to your letter of June
18, 2009.
This detention pond with its design will allow for capture and slow release of up to a 1001
year rainfall event and should take care of any problems you had noted in your inspection
report from your inspection of June 11, 2009. The water will enter a fore -bay or pre -
basin and be allowed to settle and then go into a metering basin and the metering basin
will then allow the water to be metered out and at that point it will enter the recycle
system. This will allow the water to be stored and metered out to the recycle system and
therefore not cause overflow into Lime Kill Creek.
Should you have any question concerning this matter, feel free to contact myself at 828-
765-1515 or you can contact Ms. Nikki Street at Landcra8 Engineering at the same
number.

(1) NARRATIVE
The site is located on the south side of American Thread Road approximately 1100 feet east
of the intersection of US Hwy 221 and American Thread Road in the Woodlawn Community
of Marion, North Carolina. The Explosive Supply quarry lease site is comprised of several
parcels owned by both NCDOT and the Greenlee family. The permitted mine site was
notified by letter on June 18, 2009 of possible overflow problems not allowed under their
current Wastewater Recycle Permit No. WQ0004624. We are proposing with this report to
modify an existing onsite upstream basin to not only remove suspended sediment but to also
detain the runoff from 29 acres of the site in order to prevent excessive runoff into the
existing closed loop system. The upstream expanded pond will contain not only the 25 year
event but will also greatly reduce the runoff up to the 100 year event (see calculations).
Because of challenging topography the pond has been split into two ponding areas to achieve
the required surface area and allow for a drop in elevation between the two areas. The first
area will function as a forebay and will settle out the majority of the sediment. The dam for
the forbay is proposed to be a rock dam which will enhance the settlement capacity by
serving as an intermediate baffle, thereby, protecting the proposed cmp outlet control
structure from large sediment deposits. A byproduct of achieving the required surface area
paired with the topography provides a pond with sediment storage in excess of the required
by 60%. (see sediment basin design sheet and stage storage).
The Rational Method was used to develop the stormwater management for this report. Two
analyses are provided.
The first hydrologic analysis (hydro # 1) evaluates the main pond with the proposed drain
holes functioning. This analysis provides the information for calculating the time to dewater.
The total time to dewater calculates out to be 48 hours with an average rate of 0.29 cfs. The
water surface elevation in this analysis never reaches the weir and therefore the outflows
remain low.

The second analysis (hydro #2) assumes worst case that the drain holes are clogged and the
sediment level in the pond is 1 foot above the cleanout elevation. This analysis was used to
size the outlet control structure and determine the maximum outflow from the pond. The
water surface elevation only gets high enough to overflow the weir of the outlet control
structure during the 100 year storm. The emergency spillway elevation is never reached but a
spillway has been proposed due to the fact that this will be a permanent pond. See the table
Z

below for a summary of total discharges for the 2, 10, 25, and 100 year storm. Also see
hydrology report # 2 for more detailed information.

VEGET TION PLAN
1. All of the disturbed area will be covered with dirt and or gravel
as needed to prepare for seeding or future use within 21 days of
completion of any phase of grading.
2. The surfaces to be seeded will be roughed and tilled to prepare
a seed bed.
3. The following Lime and fertilizer mix will be used to prepare
the soil for the seeds:
Agricultural lime 2,000#/acre
Fertilizer 1,000#/acre
4. The following seed specifications will be used paying special
attention to the date of seeding and seeds required for that
season:
Dates
Feb 15 — March 31
April 1- July 31
Aug. 1— Oct. 25
Oct. 26 — Feb 14

One of the following may also be added to the above mixture
Crown Vetch 5
Ladino. Clover 5
Alfalfa 5
Surface mulch shall be applied after seeding to provide a means
of controlling runoff and erosion in disturbed areas. Straw
mulch shall be applied at the rate of 1 ton per acre. Straw
should be dry, unchopped, unweathered and free of weeds.
Wheat or oat straw is preferred and can be spread by machine
or hand. Straw must be tacked down to avoid loss by wind.
6. After a vegetation growth is established, fertilization will
continue as needed until a sod layer is established.
7. Decorative landscaping may be added later as a beautification
project in stable areas, but only in areas not subject to erosion
and heavy runoff.
In areas where shade is dominating the mixture should
substitute Orchard Grass and or Blue Grass for Fescue.
9. Temporary seeding should be performed using 40 pounds of
German Millet or Rye (grain) per acre and the fertilizer and lime
mix above.
10. Top dressing should be performed within 6 months if a vigorous
growth has net been established.

Mr. Boone:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the
inspection conducted on June 11, 2009. The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit
WQ0004624. However, it should be noted that the system will require careful management to
ensure that the freshwater intake pond does not discharge to Lime Kiln Creek. The recycle
system has the potential to be overwhelmed by the addition of stormwater. It does not appear
that the stormwater pond was part of the original system design. This system should never be
allowed to discharge to surface waters.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.
If you or your staff has any questions, please call me at [phone].

Inspection Summary:
The system includes a stormwater pond that was not included in the original design. If not carefully managed, the
freshwater pond can discharge to surface waters due to the additional stormwater. The freshwater pond now has a
freeboard marker. Freeboard readings should be documented in the maintenance log.
The freshwater pond had 2 feet of freeboard but had to be pumped down on the the morning of 6/11 to maintain the
required 2 feet.

Reason for Visit: Follow-up
Inspection Summary:
The purpose of the inspection was to follow-up on a discharge discovered during a routine inspection conducted on May
4, 2008. The pond has been dredged and now has increased capacity to prevent discharges to Lime Kiln Creek. The
pond now has a freeboard marker.
Also during the inspection, it was discovered that a stormwater pond drains to the recycle system. The permit may be
modified to include the stormwater pond provided the following conditions are met:
1) Submit a permit modification application.
2) Water balance calculations must be generated that demonstrate that the water added to the recycle system from the
stormwater pond will not overwhelm the recycle system or cause any violation of the permit.
3) A staff gauge will also be required in the settling pond.

Oh...I got you. Let me know what you find out. If they cannot get the non -discharge

get the AP permit in compliance (and believed they were now in compliance) and just
get a sw only permit from us.

application. Also, if they get covered under
the ncg02, they would be allowed to have a
discharge, provided it meets the permit limits
and benchmarks. So, they would not
necessarily need to upgrade the ponds. Based
on our permit guidance, we don't require an
ATC for dewatering of quarries and sand .
mines unless they use chemical treatment.
Also, an ATC is not required for process ww
for sand/gravel and closed -loop recycle
systems. We could require them to provide
plans and cafes for the ww system to show
they will meet permit limits and then issue
them an ATO if no upgrades are required to
the system. Is the owner aware that we would
like this ncg02 to replace the WQ permit? I'm
thinking we should communicate this to the
owner and ask for supporting documents for
the ww system in order to issue an ATO. Do
you want to contact him, or would you like me
to? I don't mind either way.
Sounds like this is going to be a fun one.:-\

When Bev and I went there we only
looked at the W W ponds, so I cannot
speak to the entire site. I am happy to
revisit the site, with the site plan in hand
to verify whats going on and if there are

Ken - any thoughts on this?
Regardless, it sounds like the ncg14
needs to be rescinded; I guess we'll do
that once the rest is cleared up.
I'm a little confused though ... I see on
their site plan that they have multiple
ponds and sediment traps ... axe all of
those part of the ww system? If they
are, what water leaves the site at the 2
sw outfalls they have denoted on the
site plan?
Are there any wetland concerns at this
site?
Thanks!

Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: Re: NCG020731 - Woodlaw- ^^arry, McDowell C...
Supply Company in McDowell
County. This facility is a mine.
For some reason they have an
NCG14 ready mix permit. I went
to the facility several weeks ago
with Aquifer protection. They
have a non -discharge permit with
AP. We found that the facility
continuously discharges from
their wastewater pond. It is my
opinion that they will need to get
an A to C for any changes they
want to make to the pond. They
obviously do not have a handle
on what "non -discharge" means,
nor do they have the knowledge
necessary to make changes that
would comply with our rules.
This is evidenced by 1) the fact
that they told us they never
discharge, yet when we observed
the culvert that drains the pond it
was discharging, and 2) they had
installed a freeboard marker
_above_ the level of the culvert.
Also, all the stormwater for the
site enters the wastewater
system. My guess is that the
system is VERY undersized
given the volume of water it has
to handle.
I did not realize at the time of our
site visit that the ESC mine had a
NCG14 permit. To the best of
my knowledge they do not
conduct ready mix activities at
the site.
Also, please be aware that this
site is owned by the same folks
that own McDowell concrete

So I guess I would say I DO have
concerns about this facility and
would request that they go
through either an A to C process
or an A to O whichever you feel
is most appropriate. They need to
redesign and modify their
existing wastewater ponds so that
they do not discharge. Right now
there are three ponds that are
connected by culverts. The
elevations of the culverts are such
that if the second pond is
discharging, so is the third and
final pond.
Thanks!

(McDowell County). They
do have vehicle maintenance
on -site. Currently hold
NCG140326 and

(4/30/08) were inspected (by
Beverly Price) for their
non -discharge permit and
issued an NOV for
discharging from the recycle
intake pond. Do you know
the status of the NOV? What
does the non -discharge
permit cover? I ask this
because the NOI states there
is no mine dewatering but the
site plan shows a pump
house next to the pit. Also,
the NOI states no process
water, but part of their
process is crushing and
washing the limestone. Their
DLR mining permit has
expired and they submitted a
renewal that is still pending.
Does the ARO have any
concerns about issuing this
facility a COC for this

To: Bev Price <[e-mail]>
Bev,
2 discussed this situation with Jon Risgaard, our new supervisor of the Land
Application Unit. The answer to the question of whether the Explosives Supply Company
can add an existing stormwater pond to their Wastewater Recycle Permit (WQ0004624) is
yes, provided certain conditions are met. i
First, a permit modification to add the stormwater pond to the permit will be needed,
and they will have to submit a request for this on appropriate forms, etc.
Second, they must demonstrate to us, by water balance calculations, that the water
added to the recycle system by the stormwater pond will not overwhelm the recycle
system, turn it into a non -recycle system, or cause any violation of the permit
conditions.
Thirdly, staff gauges will be needed (if they don't exist already) in both the
settling pond and the pond below it. The culvert in the pond below the settling pond
must meet the 2-foot freeboard requirement.
Please let us know if there is any more information that is needed to address this
question.
Thanks,
David

Permit No. NCG02000b,
PART III MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR
PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) PLAN
The permittee shall implement stormwater BMPs to ensure that contaminants do not enter
surface waters via stormwater that comes in contact with any unstabilized overburden,
raw materials, intermediate products, finished products, byproducts or waste products
located on the site covered by this permit. A BMP Plan shall be developed in accordance
with the requirements of this section. The BMP Plan requirement, or portions of the plan
requirement, may be met by utilizing appropriate requirements in other documented plans'
specific to the permitted facility.
2. Management of Stormwater Runoff and Runon. The permittee shall maintain stormwaten
BMPs for land disturbance areas and outside process areas. In addition, controls should)
be used to limit or isolate selected land disturbance and process areas and limit the
amount of off site stormwater ninon to those areas. Appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs) should be used to divert, infiltrate, reuse or otherwise manage
stormwater runoff and ninon in a manner that reduces pollutants in stormwater
discharges leaving the site. Appropriate BMPs may include but are not limited to:
vegetative swales, berms, use of reclaimed mine areas, and reuse of collected stormwater
(such as for an industrial process or as an irrigation source).
3. BMP Controls Inspection and Maintenance. All stormwater BMPs shall be inspected by
or under the direction of the permittee at least once every seven calendar days and within
24 hours after any storm event that results in a discharge. The BMPs implemented shall
be operated and maintained so that they are cleaned out when the sediment storage
capacity has been reduced by 50%. If any visible sedimentation is leaving the property,
corrective action shall be taken to reduce the discharge of sediments. Visible
sedimentation found offsite shall be recorded with a brief explanation as to the measures
taken to prevent future releases as well as any measures taken to remove the sediment that
left the site. All other stormwater specific controls (e.g. oil /water separators) shall be
inspected and qualitatively monitored (as per Part III.B.3) on a semiannual schedule, once
in the fall (September -November) and once during the spring (April -June). A log of
sampling data and of activities taken to implement BMPs associated with the vehicle
maintenance activities shall be maintained and incorporated into the BMP Plan and kept
onsite for the duration of the permit term and made available to the Director upon request.
4. Erosion and Sedimentation Control. The permittee shall implement the management
practices and the erosion and sedimentation control measures that are included in the
mining permit or erosion and sedimentation control permit issued by the Division of Land
Resources. Compliance with the issued permit is considered a requirement of this
general permit. Any deviation from the issued permit, or amendments to the issued
permit, that impacts water quality shall constitute a violation of the terms and conditions
of this general permit. A signed copy of the issued permit including the approved erosion
and sedimentation control measures and the reclamation plan shall be maintained on the
site at all times. Once an area is released by the Division of Land Resources in
Part III Page 1 of 9

Permit No. NCG020000
Existing, new and expanding treatment facilities shall be subject to the following operational
requirements.
SECTION B: REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION OF A TREATMENT FACILITY
Operation and maintenance of treatment facilities must be in accordance with the
requirements in this General Permit. For the purposes of this permit no documentation
other than a signed Certificate of Coverage is required to operate an existing treatment
facility. New facilities must also have an Authorization to Construct permit.
2. Diversion or bypass of untreated wastewater from a treatment facility is prohibited except
under provisions of this permit in Part IV, Section C.3.
In the event that a facility fails to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
actions that may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the permittee of the responsibility for
damages to surface waters of the State resulting from the operation of a treatment facility.
5. Any discharge from a treatment system to groundwater must protect the groundwater
standards specified in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classification and Standards.
6. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed reasonably necessary by the Division,
shall be provided.
No chemical flocculants shall be used in the treatment facility without written
authorization from the Division.
8. All discharges of mine dewatering wastewater and process wastewater will be monitored
in accordance with Part III, Section C of this permit.

is conveyed from the mined sand and/or gravel through an erosion and sedimentation control
facility prior to discharging to surface waters. Authorization to construct and operate
requirements (Part II, Sections A and B) are not applicable to this type of wastewater operation
Analytical monitoring of wastewater draining from mined sand and/or gravel shall be performed',
as specified below in Table 7.. For each parameter, an effluent limitation is contained in Table 9.
An exceedence of any of these limitations will result in a violation of the permit conditions and
may be subject to enforcement action as specified in Part IV, Section A.2 of this permit.

Dear Mr. Davidson,
RECEIVED
MAY 15 &UB
Asheville Regional Offic�
This correspondence is in response to your certified letter dated May 5, 2008 concerning the
above facility and the Notice of Violation issued due to an inspection by personnel from your
office on April 30, 2008.
The Notice of Violation was written due to an overflow of the freshwater intake recycle pond into
Lime Kiln Creek. The plant and recycle system had been down for several days prior to the
inspection for maintenance reasons and was overflowing due to the plant not using the water that
is recycled back under normal conditions. The pond in question has not been cleaned in several
years and the depth of the pond and the water storage capacity has greatly reduced. We have
looked at this situation with our consultant and have concluded that the pond will be cleaned and
restored to its original depth allowing for the needed storage capacity and to allow for the 2'
freeboard as specified in the permit.
The management of the Woodlawn Quarry regrets this infraction occurred and will take the above
listed steps and others as necessary to prevent it's reoccurrence. If you need to discuss this letter
or should questions arise I may be contacted at 828-756-4426 during normal business hours.

Dear Mr. Boone:
I conducted a compliance inspection of the wastewater recycle system serving the Woodlawn Quarry on April
7, 2006. The inspection was also in conjunction with the permit renewal request. The system appears to be well
operated with no discharge to surface waters. The permit requires that freeboard levels in the recycle ponds be
maintained at two feet at all times. A freeboard marker should be installed in the freshwater pond, as this, is the pond
containing the recycling pumps. The fresh water pond is in need of dredging. The dredging of each of the recycle
ponds should be noted on the inspection/maintenance log.
The assistance of Mr. Josh Boone was appreciated during the inspection. If you have any questions or need
assistance, please call me at [phone].

I conducted a compliance inspection of the wastewater recycle system serving the Woodlawn Quarry on April
7, 2006. The inspection was also in conjunction with the permit renewal request. The system appears to be well
operated with no discharge to surface waters. The permit requires that freeboard levels in the recycle ponds be
maintained at two feet at all times. A freeboard marker should be installed in the freshwater pond, as this is the pond
containing the recycling pumps. The fresh water pond is in need of dredging. The dredging of each of the recycle
ponds should be noted on the inspection/maintenance log.
The assistance of Mr. Josh Boone was appreciated during the inspection. If you have any questions or need
assistance, please call me at [phone].

Attention: Mr. Thomas E. Carroll
Assistant Mining Specialist
LAND QUALITY SECTION
PERMITS & ENGINEERING
Re: Possible issuance of a permit for
mining, Woodlawn Community, N.C.
Dear Mr. Carroll:
_It is our understanding that a permit for mining has been
requested to mine a location in Woodlawn Community (nine miles
north of Marion, N.C. on U.S. Hwy. #221) just above our Sevier
plant location. Issuance of such permit causes us concern for
the following reasons:
a. Our Sevier plant is built on a site having limestone
caverns beneath. Many caverns were filled with concrete
when the plant was built. Periodically we must repair
old fills, or make new fills to prevent structural damage
to the plant. The last such fill was done in July 1985.
It is our fear that blasting at the proposed mine site
will aggravate the already touchy structural situation
at our plant site. �
b. The tailings from the proposed site will flow through
Lime Kiln Creek across our property and mix with the
waste water effluents of both Sevier plant and Baxter
Travenol. First, this makes it difficult to determine
which of the three effluents is in violation of their
permit should stream damage occur. Secondly, the major
receiving stream, North Fork of Catawba River, is classified
as a Trout Stream and does not need the solids loading
that the proposed mine would give it.
C. Highway U.S. #221 north of Marion at Woodlawn is already.
quite congested by traffic to Baxter and Sevier plant,
particularly at shift changes. The proposed mine would I
add to this congestion.
1

We thank you for this opportunity to voice our concerns
of the proposed mining operation at Woodlawn Community. We
trust they will be given serious consideration prior to issuance
of the proposed mining permit.
Very truly yours,

Thank you for your recent letter outlining the concerns that The American
Thread Company has regarding potential impact the proposed crushed stone quarry
operation could have on your facility. These concerns certainly deserve
evaluation and this Department, as was explained in the public hearing, will
carefully consider these and any others within the jurisdiction of G.S. 74-51 of
The Mining Act of 1971.
Regarding item "a" in your letter, I have already requested that the
Groundwater Section of the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) review the
permit application. A copy of your letter was also forwarded to them. To
better help us investigate any possible impact the blasting may have on your
facility's foundations please forward to me a copy of any engineering and/or
geological studies that may have been conducted regarding your plant site's
relationship to the limestone rock unit. In addition to this information,"
please include any records you have related to the concrete fills that'have been
conducted on -site to prevent structural damage. A site map showing the location
of the repair work and the extent of the limestone unit at your plant would be
particularly useful in our review.
�7 Item "b" in your letter will also be reviewed by DEM's Water Quality
Section. According to Mr. Boone's application there will be no discharge from
the operation into Lime Kiln Creek.

SUBJECT: Mining Permit Application - Explosive Supply Company
Woodlawn Quarry - McDowell County
Please find attached the above referenced mining permit application for the
operation of a crushed limestone quarry in McDowell County. Also attached is a
letter from the American Thread Company outlining their concerns of potential
impact to their facility as a result of the quarrying operation. My response to
their letter is also enclosed.
We have already received information from the applicant concerning blasting
procedures and projected maximum limits of ground vibration. At this time, we do
not feel there will be an adverse impact on The American Thread facility from
blasting. However, we would like for you to review the attached file and
forward any comments concerning potential impacts on the facility resulting from
ground water usage and interception and non -discharge of surface water in the
affected watershed that would normally go to ground water recharge. According
to information -supplied to us by personnel in the Geological Survey, The
American Thread facility is built either, directly.Ton the -same limestone unit or
"on alluvial fill overlying it.
Your input into this matter will be greatly appreciated. Please advise if
I can be of further assistance.

Attention: Mr. Thomas E. Carroll "
Assistant Mining Specialist
Re: Possible issuance of a permit for
mining, Woodlawn Community,.N.C.
Dear Mr. Carroll:
It is our understanding that a permit for mining has been
requested to mine a location in Woodlawn Community (nine miles
_ north of Marion, N.C. on U.S. Hwy.. #221) just above our Sevier
plant location. Issuance of such permit causes us concern for
the following reasons:
a. Our Sevier plant is built on a site having limestone
caverns beneath. Many caverns were filled -with concrete
when the plant was built. Periodically we must repair
old fills, or make new fills to prevent structural damage
to the plant. The last such fill was done in July 1985.
It is our fear that blasting at the proposed mine site
will aggravate the already touchy structural situation
--at our plant site.
b. The tailings from the proposed site will flow through
Lime Kiln Creek across our property and mix with the
waste water effluents of both Sevier plant and Baxter
Travenol. First, this makes it difficult to determine
which of the three effluents is in violation of their
permit should stream damage occur. Secondly, the major
receiving stream, North Fork of Catawba River, is classified
as a Trout Stream and does not need the solids loading
that the proposed mine would give it.
c. Highway U.S. #221 north of Marion at Woodlawn is already
quite congested by traffic to Baxter and Sevier plant.
particularly at shift changes. The proposed mine would
add to this congestion.

We thank you for this opportunity to voice our concerns
of the proposed mining operation at Woodlawn Community. We
trust they will be given serious consideration prior to issuance
of the proposed mining permit.
Very truly yours,

Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil test or based upon known needs of the soil.
Mix them into the surface soil. If lime and fertilizer are to be applied by hydro -
seeder, soil mixing is not required. In the absence of soil test results Dr knowledge
of the needs, suggested application rates are two tons of limestone per acre and 500 to
800 pounds of 20% superphosphate (or equivalent) per acre, and at least 80 pounds each
of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (800 lbs. of 10-10-10 or equivalent) per acre.
Nitrogen can be reduced by one-half if legumes are seeded alone or with grasses.
Manure helps to improve soil tilth. Whenever available, it should be applied to any
critical area before seeding. A rate of 15 to 20 tons per acre -is suggested. Work the
manure into the soil as practicable, especially on waterways and spillways.
PLANT SELECTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
Select plants which are best suited. In making the selection, keep in mind the plants'
characteristics, climatic adaptation, the intended use, and level of maintenance
required. Suggested time of seeding, rates of seed and mixtures for specific uses should
be obtained from the soil conservationist. Whenever available, certified seed tested
within six months before seeding should be used. Legumes should be scarified if neces-
sary and, inoculated with the proper strain of nitrogen -fixing bacteria before seeding.
'hen grass is established by using-stolens (sprigs or runners), use precaution to make
-ertain only fresh, moist planting material is used.
SEEDING OR PLANTING
Uniformly apply seed with a drill, culti-
packer seeder or hydroseeder. Seed may -
also be broadcast by�using a whirlwind or
cyclone seeder or by hand. Cover the seed
1/4-to 1 inch deep,.depending on the size
of the seed, and firm the, soil except
where a cultipacker­or hydroseeder is used.
MULCHING .
Mulching is a very important step in estab-
lishing vegetation on critical areas.
Mulch will help hold moisture, protect - = •"z��:=y.-:%f'
soil from erosion, hold seed in place and
keep soil temperatures acre constant.• It - ` t• •: =
should be applied uniformly by mechanical
means or by hand. Some bare soil should still be visible through the mulch.- May or
straw or -other fibrous mulclies are best for mulching newly seeded areas.- Most mulch:
-materials are subject to' blowing and must be tied down by -,anchoring -or pressing into tht
soil, netting, or asphalt spray. -
MAINTENANCE
Lime and fertilizer should be applied .under a regular program -based on soil fertility
test and the use and general appearance of the vegetative -cover. In the absence,of a
- soil test, the following are suggested lime and feAilizer-,ratesr One to two tons of
limestone per acre every three to five gears, and at least•40 pounds each -of nitrogen,
Phosphorus, and potassium •(400 lbs. of 10-10-10 or•equivalent) per acre annually.
Nitrogen may be reduced one-half or more if legumes are established alone or with grasses.
Care should be taken not to damage the vegetation mechanically through use of improper
mowing equipment or by too frequent and/or close meowing.

TREATMENT ON CRITICAL EROSION AREAS
WITH PERMANENT GROUNO COVER
A critical erosion area is any erodible, sediment -producing area such as excessively
eroding cropland, cuts, fills, streambanks, landfills, roadbanks, dams, spillways,
borrow areas, and denuded or gullied areas where vegetative stabilization is difficult
by ordinary methods. Stabilizing these areas will reduce damage from sediment and
runoff to downstream areas, and improve wildlife habitat and visual resources.

areas to bta6iUze and qu,i,c.k4 develop
enoa.ion pno6tem6 when te.6t untJteated.
sue y the soil material on which seeding or planting is to be done is infertiie, poor
in structure and aggregation, low in organic gutter and may be highly acid. This material
is highly susceptible to erosion due to slow water intake and rapid runoff. To aid;in
overcoming these conditions, organic matter can be applied in the form of manure, lime
applied where needed, and..appropriate commercial fertilizers added. On most sites, four
inches pf loamy topsoil applied to the site before seeding enhances establishment of
ground cover and minimizes maintenance. —
SITE PREPARATION
Where equipment will travel over the site during planting and/or for maintenance after
establishment,.slopes should be no steeper than 3:1. Where practical, fill and'shape
gullied areas. Install necessary water control measures such as diversions, waterways
or outlets, subsurface (tile) drainage, and terraces. Remove all debris, such as stones,
tree stumps, etc. that may interfere with seeding and maintenance operations.
SEEDBED PREPARATION
Scarify surface to a depth of at least four inches with a disk or other suitable method.
In some situations, such as drainage ditch banks, spoil banks, etc,., scarification can
be excluded if lime, fertilizer, and seed are applied to the roughened surface within
one or two.days after earth moving.

Reclamation Plan
13. Provide a time schedule that wets the requirements of G.S. 74-53.
(Add sheets if necessary)
Reclamation will be carried on simultaneously with the
mining operation where feasible. Reclamation will be

completed within two years after completion as required.,
14. Notification of Adjoining Landowners
The "NOTICE" form or a facimile..thereof attached to this_ application should.

July 23, 1986
MEMORANDUM
TO: Tom Carroll
Land Quality Section
FROM: Bob Cheek g/3C
SUBJECT: Explosive Supply Company's Woodiawn Quarry, McDowell
County
We have reviewed the mining permit application, relevant
letter from American Threads facility in Marion and evaluation
from our regional hydrogeologist. We do not feel we have suf-
ficient .site -specific hydrogeologic information to predict the
effects of blasting or hydraulic depressurization on the lime-
stone unit in question as a result of the proposed mining ac-
tivities.
Given the uncertainty involved, we would recommend thel
installation of 3-4 water level observation wells around the
periphery of the quarry area. Periodic measurements (monthly
or bimonthly) from these bedrock wells would allow evaluation
of the quarry's impact on areal hydrostatic levels. Don Link,
our regional hydrogeologist in Asheville, will be happy to as-
sist in determining the optimum location and construction de= ;
tails for these wells.
We appreciate the opportunity to review this proposal,and
if we can be of further assistance please advise.
