David,
Please see attached Adjacent Property Owner List and Corrected Application Documents. My apologies, I used the
Adjacent Property Function in GIS and it did not pick up all of the properties. It should be correct now.
If you would like us to FedEx Mailing labels to you, we will be happy to do so. Just let me know.

Thomas Brown,
The Corps has received (May 9, 2022) and reviewed your submitted standard permit application and supporting
documents for the Martin Marietta Materials Hickory Quarry Expansion in Hickory, Catawba County, North Carolina.
After review and evaluation of the submitted documents the Corps is requesting the following additional information in
order for us to consider the application to be complete, per 33 CFR section 325.1(d)(1).
1. Names and addresses of adjoining property owners.
The Corps must distribute the public notice for this proposed project to adjoining property owners (33 CFR section
325.3). The list of adjoining property owners should be submitted in a MS -Word file and/or printed on Avery 5162
labels. The adjoining property owners for the proposed project are those property owners who adjoin the mine
permit boundary, as noted on figures 5 and 6. Do note, if Martin Marietta or an entity of Martin Marietta owns,
holds, or controls an adjoining property, then the adjoining property owner(s) required for the above information
are those adjoining owners which are not Martin Marietta or an entity of Martin Marietta (i.e., Martin Marietta
cannot adjoin itself).
After a cursory review of the of the submitted list of adjacent property owners, there appears a number of property
owners were not included
• To the east across McDonald Parkway SE (Shuford Development, William Eckard, John Clontz, Corning Cable
Systems, Marty Earp, etc.)
• To the west (Vega Pacific, Scout Inc, Query Investments, etc.)
• To the southeast across 1-40
2. The site coordinates (35.5463, -81.0637) provided on the application and supporting information for the project are
incorrect. The correct coordinates for the site are 35.72039, -81.30806.
Please provide the information requested by June 30, 2022 or your application will be withdrawn. Once the Corps
receives the additional information we can continue to process your application. If you have any questions please
contact me.
Sincerely,
David Brown, PG

Project Purpose
Basic: The basic purpose of this project is to cost-effectively mine construction grade
Aggregate reserves at the existing Hickory Quarry facility.
Overall: The overall project purpose is to cost-effectively continue operation of the aggregate
quarry facility at Hickory by providing storage for overburden to uncover valuable market
needed aggregate reserves.
Hickory Quarry has currently exhausted all of its current overburden storage options. Without
augmentation, it will be unable to uncover reserves to serve market demand.
Site Information
Total Site Acreage: 390.6 acres
County: Catawba
Nearest Waterway: Clark Creek
Nearest Town: Hickory
River Basin (HUC): Catawba (03050102)
Latitude and Longitude: 35.72039, -81.30806
Site Address: 1989 11th Ave SE, Hickory, NC 28602
Existing Site Conditions and History
Facility Site
The 390-acre site, known as the Hickory Quarry, is located in the Catawba River Basin
(03050102), and includes an operating Granite Quarry Pit, Stockpile yard, plant and
infrastructure, current overburden storage areas and wooded area buffers as shown on the
attached maps. The main infrastructure for the Quarry has been constructed for the existing pit
operations and would be used to continue mining after the overburden is removed.
The Project area was timbered in 2012 and is dominated by thick shrub species and immature
trees. Soils within the project area consist of Clifford Sandy Loam soils on the hill tops with
Fairview Sandy loam and clay loam on the side slopes. Areas near Clark Creek are mapped as
Codorus loam.
404/401 Permit History
An individual Department of the Army Permit (permit number 199830934) was issued on March
1, 1999 for the relocation of 2400 linear feet of Clark Creek associated with a pit expansion. The
associated 401 Certification (project #980623) was issued on September 22, 1998.

A Nationwide Permit Number 33 (AID 20230908) was issued on June 17, 2004 for 100 linear foot
of impacts to Clarks Creek associated with a temporary crossing to supply material for a DOT
road project adjacent to the quarry. The associated 401 Certification (Project Number 02-0787)
was issued on May 31, 2002.
On October 31, 2013 an Individual Department of the Army Permit (SAW-2011-01934) was
issued for 90 linear feet of impacts to Clarks Creek associated with a crossing. The associated
401 Certification was issued on January 5, 2012.
State DEQ DEMLR Mining Permit
The current NC DEQ DEMLR permit (No. 18-01), (Exhibit A), issued on October 11, 2017, allows
for this area to be used for overburden storage.

Project Information
Overview of Preferred Alternative
The preferred alternative to the project involves filling a valley between two existing
overburden storage berms for the purposes of storing additional overburden. Within that valley
there exists a small perennial stream. This stream flows down into an emergent wetland which
is connected to the main stream, Clark Creek, by a non -jurisdictional ephemeral channel. As
shown on the attached map (Figure 4) the site has exhausted all open space available for
overburden storage. Any other storage options on site would require impacts to waters. In
order to avoid any further impacts to Clark Creek, MMM is proposing to impact Stream A as
shown on the attached maps and plans.
In order to continue mining operations at Hickory Quarry, an estimated 750,000 cubic yards of
overburden must be removed to uncover aggregate reserves. This project involves filling the
stream and valley with approximately 340,000 cubic yards of material which will bring the
project area grade up to the same level as the two existing adjacent overburden storage areas.
After the two existing storage areas have been connected and leveled across this existing valley,
another lift can be built on the entire area that will allow storage of the remaining 410,000 cubic
yards.
Impact summary
MMM is proposing to impact 430 linear feet of Stream A and 0.25 acre of Wetland A as shown in
the attached maps and plans. The impact would involve filling the channel and wetland with
overburden material as described in the preferred alternative.

Development of Alternatives
In order to develop potential alternatives, MMM considered factors such as technical and
logistical feasibility, economic and business planning requirements, and potential impacts to
jurisdictional waters and other environmental resources.
With respect to business planning and systematic and cost-effective quarry operations to serve
the relevant market area, MMM is seeking to mine existing economically viable aggregate
reserves at its Hickory Quarry to continue to supply the market demand.
Generally, transportation costs (and haul distances) are significant components of aggregate
product cost and price, which constrains the geographic market area a quarry may viably serve.
The Hickory Quarry available aggregate reserves within the existing pit are being depleted, and
expansion of the Hickory Quarry Pit to mine additional aggregate reserves requires the removal
and storage of overburden material in order for MMM to continue to cost-effectively serve the
market area.
Alternatives Analysis
Alternative 1: No Action Alternative
The No Action alternative would involve mining material that is currently uncovered and not
stripping additional reserves.
The local reserves currently available to supply the surrounding geographic market area fall
short of market demand. The no action alternative would not result in economically viable
continued service to the surrounding market area by local supply from the Hickory Quarry.
This alternative would not meet the basic or overall project purposes.
Alternative 2: Preferred Alternative, Filling Valley Between Existing Overburden Berms
As described above in the "Project Information" section of this document, MMM's preferred
alternative involves filling a valley between 2 existing overburden storage areas. Filling this
valley would impact Stream A and Wetland A. Storing overburden in this area will allow MMM
to uncover valuable reserves needed to serve the local market demand.
Alternative 2, as proposed, meets the applicant's purpose and need of continuing to mine
construction grade aggregate at the Hickory Quarry site and is also the least environmentally
damaging practicable alternative for the purpose and need.

Alternative 3: Hauling Material off Site.
MMM has explored the option of hauling the material off site. Presently, no local off site
location where the material could be hauled has been located. Cost estimates to move material
off site range from $12 to $15 per cubic yard. This would result in a cost of approximately
$9,000,000 to $11,250,000 and would require approximately 75,000 truck trips.
MMM estimates that hauling the material on site with off road articulating trucks would cost
between $3 to $4 per yard and require only 30,000 truck trips due to the much larger load
capacity.
As such, hauling material off site would not be a practicable alternative. Costs for this
alternative could be $6,750,000 to $8,250,000 more expensive and, due to smaller loads and
longer haul distances, could take up to a year or more, longer. This alternative also puts more
trucks on the local highways and would create more emissions when compared to the much
shorter haul distance, with larger loads, on site.

Avoidance, Minimization and Compensation
Avoidance
In order to avoid impacts, MMM conducted careful investigations of the property. The location
of available reserves has been established to the extent practicable. As discussed in the above
alternatives, MMM has avoided higher quality areas of Clarks Creek and its floodplain. Instead
MMM is only proposing to impact a small stream, Stream A and an emergent Wetland, Wetland
A. MMM is also avoiding impacts to adjacent floodplains.
Minimization
To minimize impacts to wetlands and other waters, MMM uses stormwater management and
erosion control techniques that preserve downstream water quality. MMM will use stripping
techniques that will not allow the loss of material downstream or into adjacent wetlands and
streams. As the overburden is removed or stripped from the site, all runoff will be directed to
the pit or other erosion control structure. As overburden is stored, all runoff will be directed
into appropriate erosion control structures and stabilized by planting vegetation as soon as
possible. A minimum 50ft wooded buffer will be maintained around all wetlands and waters not
directly impacted by this requested permit.
Compensation
MMM proposes to mitigate for impacts to 430 linear feet of stream and 0.25 acre of wetland by
In-Leu-Fee Payment to the North Carolina Department of Mitigation Services (DMS). An
acceptance letter from the DMS is attached as Exhibit B.
MMM is proposing a 1:1 ratio for stream impacts due to the medium quality of the stream. A
copy of an NCSAM form completed on site is attached. MMM is proposing to mitigate for
wetland impacts at a 2:1 ratio. A NC SAM assessment of the stream is attached as Exhibit E.

Floodplain
The proposed project is located adjacent to Clarks Creek which has an identified FEMA
floodplain. No fill material will be placed within the floodplain and therefore there will be no
floodplain impacts.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
A query of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program database indicates an occurrence of
Hexastylis naniflora, no natural areas and no managed areas. This document is attached as
Exhibit C.
A search of the USFWS Environmental Conservation Online System lists 7 species for Catawba
County: tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) (Under Review), monarch butterfly (Danaus
plexippus)(Candidate), bog turtle (Glyptems muhlenbergii)(Similarity of Appearance
(Threatened)) , Dwarf -flowered heartleaf(Hexastylis nanifloria)(Threatened), Schweinitz's
sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii)(Endangered), and Carolina hemlock(Tsuga
caroliniana)(Under Review).
A search of the project area and review of existing site conditions has revealed that no
endangered or threatened species are within the project area. Conditions on the site, being
recently timbered and overgrown with shrub species, is not indicative to habitat for Hexastylis
nanifloria. Furthermore, the site has been searched and no occurrences were found.
Within the project area, there exists a maintained powerline easement. This power line corridor
could be considered habitat for Helianthus schweinitzii. As such, the powerline corridor was
searched and a species similar to Helianthus schweinitzii was found. This species was identified
as Helianthus microcephalus (Small Woodland Sunflower). Photos of this specimen are attached
as Exhibit D. Helianthus schweinitzii was not found on site.
National Historic Preservation Act
Martin Marietta is not aware of any properties or structures that are listed or eligible for listing
with the National Register of Historic Properties within the immediate vicinity of the project
area, and will address any such circumstances that may come to its attention in the notice and
comment process. Due to the fact that this is not an expansion of the existing site boundaries,
no impacts would be expected.

RE: Permit No. 18-01
Hickory Quarry
Catawba County
Catawba River Basin
Dear Mr. Tiberi:
Your recent request to have the above referenced mining permit modified has been
approved. The modification is to reduce the affected acreage at this site to 263.9 acres as
indicated on the Mine Plan last revised August 22, 2017. The modification includes the
removal of Basin #5, redesign of previously approved Basin #4, addition of Basin #19, use of
rip rap baffles in lieu of coir fiber baffles with stipulations, and updates to the mining plan to
show the existing berm along the western property line. A copy of the modified permit is
enclosed.
The conditions in the modified permit were based primarily upon the initial application.
Modifications were made as indicated by the modification request and as required to insure
compliance with The Mining Act of 1971 . The expiration date, mine name and permit number
shall remain the same as before the modification. I would like to draw your attention to the
following conditions where minor additions or changes were made: 3C, 4E, 4F 1 OB and 13.
Please be advised that the NC Mining Act of 1971 was amended on October 4, 2017 by
Session Law 2017-209 which states that all existing mining permits and any newly issued
mining permits are to be issued for the life of site or lease term. Thus, there is no expiration
date for this mining permit. The mine name and permit number on the permit document, and
all existing operating and reclamation conditions contained therein, shall remain in full force
and effect. Furthermore, all provisions of GS 74-51 and GS 74-52 still apply for new,
transferred and modified mining permits.
In addition to the life of site or lease mining permit provision, Session Law 2017-209
also enacted a new annual mining permit operating fee of $400 per mining permit number. By
statute, the initial payment of this annual $400 fee must be submitted to this office by
December 31, 2017. Beginning in 2018, the $400 annual operating fee must be submitted by
July 1 of each year with the required Annual Reclamation Report as required by GS 74-55.
Failure to submit the fee by the required deadline will result in a $501month late fee and could
result in the denial of future permit actions and/or revocation of your mining permit.

Lastly, pursuant to GS 74-54, the cap on reclamation bonds has been raised from
$500,000 to $1 million. Any adjustments needed in existing bonds will be initiated by this
office or addressed during your next requested permit action unless you contact this office with
a written request to have your bond reevaluated.
The issuance of a mining permit and/or any modification to it does not supersede local
zoning regulations. The responsibility of compliance with any applicable zoning regulations
lies with you.
As a reminder, your permitted acreage at this site is 390.6 acres and the amount of
land you are approved to disturb is 263.9 acres.
Please review the modified permit and contact Judy Wehner, Assistant Mining
Specialist, at [phone] should you have any questions concerning this matter.

F. Excessive Ground Vibration/Air Blast Reporting:
If ground vibration or air blast limits are exceeded, the operator will immediately
report the event with causes and corrective actions to the Department. Use of
explosives at the blast site that produced the excessive reading shall cease until
corrective actions approved by the Department are taken. However, blasting
may occur in other approved areas within the permitted boundary. Authorization
to blast at the blast site may be granted at the time of the verbal reporting of the
high ground vibration or high air blast reading if the circumstances justify verbal
approval. Failure to report will constitute a permit violation.
G. Flyrock Prevention:
The operator shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure that flyrock is not
thrown beyond areas where the access is temporarily or permanently guarded by
the operator. Failure to take corrective measures to prevent flyrock and
repeated instances of flyrock shall be considered a violation of the Mining Permit.

Page 10
H. Flyrock Reporting:
Should flyrock occur beyond the permitted and guarded areas, the operator shall
immediately report the incident to the Department. Further use of explosives on
the mine site shall be suspended until the following actions have been taken:
1. A thorough investigation as to the cause(s) of the incident shall be conducted.

The operator shall, when requested by the Department, give 24-hour advance
notice to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources Regional Office
prior to any blast during a period for which notice is requested.
K. Proper stemming procedures shall be utilized at all times to minimize the
occurrence of excessive airblast. Depth of measurements after explosive
loading and prior to the addition of stemming materials shall be taken of each
hole to ensure that the required stemming, and any additional precautionary
measures deemed necessary, can be provided.
Refresher training in the proper stemming of blast holes shall be given to all
blasters at the site, with emphasis on taking particular caution during such
shallow hole blasting operations, prior to the resumption of shallow hole (toe
shot) blasting.
M. Proper burden shall be utilized at all times to reduce the potential for premature
gas escape.
N. Blasting personnel shall be trained to recognize conditions that may produce
high airblast and how to compensate for such accordingly.
O. A drill log shall be kept for each hole so that blasting personnel can consider any
unusual conditions that may exist that could contribute to high airblast.

D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Directtrr, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-17162
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund
easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919-707-8603.
