Vulcan Materials Company Boone Quarry Dirt Storage Project
NWP 44 Mining Activities — Phase One
Introduction
Vulcan Construction Materials, LP — East Region ( "Vulcan ") operates the Boone Quarry, Permit No.
95 -01, in Watauga County, North Carolina. The site is located on the south side of NC Highway 105
approximately one mile west of intersection NC Highway 105 and NC Highway 105 Bypass.
This PCN Application provides an overview of the existing conditions of the quarry and a detailed plan
for the proposed site improvements. The proposed activities are to be within existing permitted mine
boundary and utilizes the northeast side of the existing quarry property for overburden (dirt) storage
area. This PCN Application is only for Phase One which consists of the construction of an internal haul
road and the known required activities necessary for the storage of overburden for the near term. If any
additional stream or wetland impacts will result from future phases, the preparation of an Individual
Permit application will be prepared and submitted.
Property and Permit Boundary
The existing permitted property at Boone Quarry consists of 192.04 acres of land owned
by Vulcan Lands, Inc. and land leased from others. Within the 192.04 acre permitted area, Vulcan
currently has approximately 123.15 acres for quarry related activities including: approximately 1 acre
for settling / sediment pond area, 12 acres for plant / stockpile areas, 10 acres for overburden (dirt)
storage area, and 101 acres for mine excavation area. The remaining areas are used for buffers and
wildlife enhancement.
The Project Site for Phases 1 and future phases are within the Tax Parcel consists of 17.85 acres. The
use of this Parcel was secured for the purpose of new overburden storage. It was selected because it is
adjacent to the existing quarry property so that transport of the overburden would not have to occur on
public roads and all of the other surrounding land was too steep and did not offer any opportunity for
dirt storage. This permit application is for the 5.6 acre area of the site identified as Phase 1.
The area included in this permit application has been investigated for the presence of Waters of the U.S.
(wetlands and streams). Any such areas have been delineated and verified using appropriate protocol
and their locations surveyed. Approval for mine plan modifications have been submitted to the NC
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources.
Project Description
The project consists of providing an onsite permanent storage area for overburden (dirt) within the
existing boundaries of the existing state mine permit boundary. There will be no changes to the pit
limits, plant site or access points. There is limited area within the existing permitted area of the site
available to store the overburden as all other potential sites are currently at fully capacity. The land area
located to the east of the existing pit on land owned and leased by Vulcan Materials Company is the site
of Phase 1. Permanent impacts for Phase 1 are for the placement of a limited volume of overburden to
create an internal haul road to the storage construction site and its associated erosion and sedimentation
control measures. This activity will provide a limited amount of dirt storage area. The activity will
impact 224 linear feet of jurisdictional intermittent stream and .254 acre of wetlands. Future work will
be considered a second phase of the project and will be determined at some point in the future. Any
additional proposed impacts to streams or wetlands will be submitted as an Individual Permit
application. Approval for mine plan modifications have been submitted to the NC Division of Energy,
Mineral and Land Resources. There will be no changes to the existing Mine Permit. All currently
permitted options have avoided impacts to streams or wetlands to this point.
Description of Existing Site Conditions

The Tax Parcel consists of approximately 192.04 acres of land controlled by Vulcan Materials Company
located to the east of the existing quarry pit. The Project Site for Phases 1 and future phases are within
the Tax Parcel consists of 17.85 acres. The disturbed area of this permit application is 5.6 acres for
Phase 1. The majority of the Project Site occurs in the bottom land of Laurel Fork. Jurisdictional streams
and wetlands have been delineated and surveyed. The surveyed jurisdictional boundaries have been
verified by the U.S. Army Corps Wilmington District on August 11, 2010, and have been assigned
Corps Action ID Number SAW 2010 - 01090. The entire Project Site has six small areas of jurisdictional
wetlands totaling 0.371 acre, 1,643 linear feet of perennial stream (Laurel Fork), and 2,210 linear feet of
intermittent stream. The majority of Laurel Fork has been cleared and channelized through the years to
allow for agricultural use of the bottom land. Approximately 972 linear feet of intermittent stream
(Stream B) within the bottom land is a man -made channel that did not appear on USDA -NRCS aerial
photography in 1964. The channel only appeared on subsequent aerial photography in 1984 and was
most likely constructed to facilitate farming activities within the valley floor. The bottom land is not
currently forested and has been kept mostly mowed for hay. The activities within Phase 1 will not
impact Laurel Fork.
Project Purpose and Need
The Boone Quarry has exhausted all available and practicable on -site storage areas for overburden (dirt).
There is more overburden material which needs to be removed from existing approved excavation areas.
Because of more stringent mine plan requirements, a larger area is now required for the storage of dirt.
Therefore either immediate additional on -site storage areas must be provided or the material will have to
be moved offsite. Immediate onsite storage needs will require permanent impacts to a minimal amount
of intermittent stream and associated wetlands for the construction of an internal access road and the
installation of required sediment and erosion control measures. Impacts to Laurel Fork will be avoided
during Phase 1. The immediate demand for storage of overburden is to keep the quarry in operation. The
long term need for storage of overburden will require room for the temporary storage of overburden
until it can be sold. Overburden is sold to customers as fill for other projects but the local demand for
this is much less than the rate at which it is generated, thus the need for the temporary storage. The on-
site internal haul /access road is needed in order to access the site for the temporary on -site storage of the
overburden until such time as it can be sold or the quarry ceases operation.
Project Alternatives
Project alternatives have been explored which include a no -build option, off -site disposal or storage of
overburden, reduced footprint of on -site storage, an option to make all anticipated impacts permanent
under an individual permit and on -site storage of overburden as proposed as a temporary use.
The no -build option was determined not to be practicable because the overburden will have to be
removed as the quarry development continues. This option would also include the removal and off -site
disposal or storage of the overburden. The offsite storage option was determined not to be practicable
nor environmentally preferred on several points, namely each truckload of overburden hauled off -site to
another location would significantly increase the carbon footprint of the project and added traffic
volume on area roadways. The haul trucks are only used on site. They cannot be used on public roads,
not tagged, also the trucks use off -road diesel fuel. A haul truck can carry significantly more than a
standard dump truck that can be used on roads. On road trucks can haul approximately 20 - 24 tons
maximum. Off road haul trucks can haul 50 - 100 tons depending what size we have on site. Finally, the
offsite storage is cost prohibitive.
An attempt was made to reduce the footprint and scope of the project as an alternative. Since the
proposed site is already very limited in size, further reducing the area of storage would not
accommodate the projected calculated immediate overburden volume requirements for the quarry.

The option of making all impacts permanent under an individual permit was reviewed and was
determined to satisfy the project purpose and need. An individual permit application requires a lengthy
review process and a considerable amount of time. The quarry has an immediate need for disposal for
the near -term in order to stay in operation. As such, Vulcan has elected to keep permanent impacts to a
minimum to satisfy the immediate need for near -term overburden storage under a NWP 44 and explore
additional alternatives for the disposal of a significantly larger amount of overburden for the long -term.
The selected alternative uses a combination of limited permanent impacts to provide access to the site
and erosion and sedimentation controls under a Nationwide Permit 44 with additional temporary impacts
to provide sufficient storage area for the calculated volume of overburden. This alternative satisfies the
project purpose and need and avoids and minimizes the permanent impacts to Waters of the U.S. and
other related environmental impacts.
Proposed Activities Under NWP 44 Mining Activities
Proposed activities under a NWP 44 include the use of overburden immediately to construct erosion and
sedimentation control facilities for the project, to construct a haul road for permanent internal access to
the site, and to provide for overburden storage for the near -term. A contractor will likely install the silt
fence and construct sediment basin 2013 -001, then VMC will build the road from the existing fill area
down to the toe where basin 2013 -001 is located. After this internal road is constructed, then VMC
quarry trucks will haul the overburden to our Phase 1 development area.
Total permanent impacts to intermittent streams will be 224 linear feet. Total permanent impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands will be 0.254 acre.
Project Mitigation for Unavoidable Impacts
A payment is proposed into the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for unavoidable permanent
impacts to 0.254 acre of wetlands and 224 linear feet of intermittent streams. Said monies will be
available for use by this program for habitat restoration /protection elsewhere within the Watuaga
watershed or in the adjacent Yadkin -Pee Dee watershed.
Highlighted below are additional environmental site permitting considerations:
- The Water Quality Classification of Laurel Fork is C- Trout.
- Laurel Fork is not located within the FEMA 100 Year Floodplain,
- Laurel Fork is not listed as a 303(d) Impaired Water. The closest 303(d) listed stream is the
Watauga River located 3.5 miles downstream of the site.
- Laurel Fork is not listed in the NC List of Pristine Waters
- There are no cultural or historical resources within the vicinity of the site as mapped on the
database of the NC State Historic Preservation Office.
- There are no specific Element Occurrences of protected species within the vicinity of the site as
mapped on the database of the NC Natural Heritage Program or identified by the USFWS.
Sedimentation and erosion control measures have been designed in accordance with Land Quality
Section guidelines in order to collect and filter rainfall runoff throughout the life of this operation.
These standards are more stringent than those required for other non - mining related land disturbances.

Subject: Listed Species Assessment, Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) for Proposed
Commercial Vulcan Materials Company Boone Quarry Dirt Storage Project, located
at 3869 Highway 105 South, in Boone, Watauga County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. McCormick:
On November 8, 2013, we received a copy of the subject PCN and project plans for the subject
project from Mr. Craig Wyant of A Fine Line Design. We have reviewed the information
presented and are providing the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661- 667e), and section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 -1543) (Act).
Project Description — According to the information presented, the purpose of the project is to
provide an onsite permanent and temporary storage area for overburden from the existing mine.
The project area consists of a 17.85 acre parcel within 192 -acres of land owned by Vulcan
Materials Company which is located east of the existing mine pit. No changes to pit limits are
proposed with this application. The construction of the overburden area will take place in two
phases. The first phase consists of constructing an internal haul road to the storage site and its
sedimentation and erosion control measures. Construction of the first phase will result in impacts
to 224 linear feet (10 of a jurisdictional intermittent stream and .263 acre of wetlands. The second
phase will consist of creating a temporary diversion of 1,123 if of Laurel Fork into twin 72 -inch

culverts and filling about 9721f of a man-made jurisdictional intermittent channel to create the
temporary overburden storage area.
Fish and Wildlife Resources — We are concerned about the potential direct, indirect, and
secondary impacts that could occur to the streams, wetlands, and forested areas on the subject
property. It is important that you minimize or avoid impacts to the aquatic resources located on
and downstream of the property. The proper planning, design, and installation of stream
crossings provide year -round aquatic organism passage and preserve healthy streams. We
recommend the following Web site for additional information regarding stream crossing
activities:
http: / /www. stream. fs. fed. uslfishxing /pointers. html
We also recommend the following measures to help minimize project impacts:
1. Use grassed swales in place of curb and gutter and on -site storm -water
management (i.e., bioretention areas) that will result in no net change in the
hydrology of the watershed.
2. Construct additional sediment/storm water basins at the base of waste disposal
areas. Slope protection shall be provided to minimize surface erosion and
uncontrolled surface drainage should not be diverted over the out slope of the
waste pile. We recommend that surface run -off should be diverted from the waste
pile into stabilized diversion channels that drain into maintained sediment basins
which should be designed to handle a 100 -year, six hour storm event. All
disturbed areas, including diversion channels that are not riprapped or otherwise
protected, shall be re- vegetated with native plant species upon completion of
construction.
3. Preserve and/or restore forested riparian buffers. We are concerned that the loss
and lack of riparian buffers, will impact aquatic resources on the site and
downstream of the project area. Forested riparian buffers, a minimum of 200 feet
wide along perennial streams (especially the North Toe River), should be created
and/or maintained. Riparian buffers provide travel corridors and habitat for
wildlife displaced by development. In addition, riparian buffers protect water
quality by stabilizing stream banks, filtering storm -water runoff, and providing
habitat for aquatic and fisheries resources.
4. Install and maintain stringent measures to control erosion and sediment in order to
prevent unnecessary impacts to aquatic resources within and downstream of the
project site. Disturbed areas should be reseeded with seed mixtures that are
beneficial to wildlife. Fescue -based mixtures should be avoided. Native annual
small grains appropriate for the season are preferred and recommended. Also,
perimeter erosion - control devices should be installed prior to any on- the - ground
2

activities. Frequent maintenance of these devices is critical to their proper
function in order to minimize sediment discharge from the project site. We are
concerned about the introduction and spread of invasive exotic species in
association with the proposed project. Without active management, including the
revegetation of disturbed areas with native species, project sites will likely be
sources of (and corridors for) the movement of invasive exotic plant species.
Exotic species are a major contributor to species depletion and extinction, second
only to habitat loss. Exotics are a factor contributing to the endangered or
threatened status of more than 40 percent of the animals and plants on the Federal
List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants.a It is estimated that at
least 4,000 exotic plant species and 2,300 exotic animal species are now
established in the United States, costing more than $130 billion a year to control.b
Additionally, the U.S. Government has many programs and laws in place to
combat invasive species (see www.invasivespecies.gov). Specifically, Section
2(a)(3) of Executive Order 13112 - Invasive Species (February 3, 1999) directs
federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it believes are
likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the
United States or elsewhere." Despite their short-term erosion control benefits,
many exotic species used in soil stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they
are established, thereby preventing the reestablishment of native vegetation.
Many of these exotic plants° are also aggressive invaders of nearby natural areas,
where they are capable of displacing already established native species.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that only species native to the natural
communities within the project area be used in association with all aspects of this
project.
5. Keep equipment out of streams by operating from the banks in a fashion that
minimizes disturbance to woody vegetation. Equipment should be inspected daily
and should be maintained to prevent the contamination of surface waters from
leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. All fuels,
lubricants, and other toxic materials should be stored outside the riparian
management area of the stream, in a location where the material can be contained.
Equipment should be checked for leaks of hydraulic fluids, cooling system
liquids, and fuel and should be cleaned before fording any stream. Also, all
fueling operations should be accomplished outside the riparian management area.

Federally Listed Species — According to our records and a review of the information presented,
no listed species or their habitats occur on the site. Therefore, we believe the requirements under
section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be
reconsidered if (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments. If we can be of assistance or if you
have any questions, please contact Mr. Bryan Tompkins of our staff at 828/258 -3939, Ext. 240.
In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number
4 -2 -14 -064.
Sincerely,
