17. DIRECTIONS TO THE SITE
6941 Quarry Lane is located off of Hwy 16, approximately one mile south of Hwy 73.
18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features)
An existing mine wall would be expanded to the northwest and the existing floor pit would be deepened by an extra 100 ft. Additionally,
an existing culvert and low head dam would be removed and replaced with a bridge span. Approximately 3,170 linear ft of Forney Creek
would be impacted and ultimately relocated and restored. Forney creek is an impaired EPA listed 303d highly entrenched and unstable
stream. The creek stream is characterized by incision and entrenchment and currently has an undersized culvert and low head dam that
inhibit aquatic passage. The proposed action area footprint encompasses approximately 11 acres. Stream relocation and restoration would
occur by realigning Forney Creek to a more stable configuration using Natural Channel Design methodologies, as dictated by the North
Carolina Stream Channel Design National Engineering Handbook 654. The proposed design relocates Forney Creek away from the LNQ
Mine, using priority 1 restoration, and brings the stream invert to the current invert of the low head dam.
19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions)
The purpose of the Proposed Action is to extend the Life of Mine (LOM) expectancy and projected reserve base of the LNQ Mine from 15
years, to between 75 -100 years to meet the current economic production demands of aggregate product. The present quarry mine
production rate of 1.5 million tons of aggregate product produced per year equates to an estimated LOM reserve base of up to 25 years;
potentially depleting the current LNQ Mine reserve base by 2046. However, based on forecasted continued population growth in the
Charlotte Metro area Hedrick Industries will need to increase LNQ Mine production to approximately 2.5 million tons per year,
exacerbating the depletion of the
Hedrick Industries will require the construction of subsidiary infrastructure to ensure safer extraction of aggregate product (requisite to
meet federal and MSHA requirements),
