stream impact, and 6551inear feet intermittent stream impact), to construct the proposed Martin
Marietta Salem Stone Quarry expansion, which is located on the southern property boundary of the
existing quarry facility running adjacent to High Point Road, southwest of Winston-Salem, in
Forsyth County, North Carolina, pursuant to an application dated May 30, 2007 and received by

received on June 8, 2007.
The application and supporting documentation provides adequate assurance that the proposed
work will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge
guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the
applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if

impact or an increase in impervious surfaces, the DWQ shall be notified in writing and a new
application for 401 Certification may be required. For this approval to be valid, compliance with
the conditions listed below is required.

a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion
control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified

construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur;
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in
wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored
within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
5. Protective Fencing -The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the
construction corridor within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be
