If your mining excavation will come within 300 feet of any neighboring N APPLICATION FOR A MINING PERMIT dwelling house, school, church, hospital, commercial or industrial building, public building or public road, describe methods -to prevent physical hazard to such features. The mining excavation is within approximately 300 feet of Duraleigh Road. No other buildings or institutions are involved. A barrier berm has been constructed between the excavated area and Duraleigh Road. Modern de- lay techniques and maximum charges are used to control blasting to eliminate any noise or vibration hazards to adjacent areas. Blasting is only performed during specified times on each day. Blasting is not performed when weather conditions are unfavorable. Weather conditions considered are: wind direc- tion and velocity, inversions, humidity and other pertinent factors that would effect noise and vibration during blasting. 4. Describe measures to be taken to insure against (1) substantial deposits of sediment in stream beds or lakes, (2) landslides, (3) acid water pollution. To eliminate erosion and siltation, erodible areas will be or have been pro- tected in accordance with the revegetation plan detailed with this Application. The water used for washing aggregates is processed through a series of settling basins with a controlled discharge. The settling basins are so constructed that any accumulation of silt can be excavated by dragline methods and-disposed of in waste area; all in accordance with the wastewater collection ancf treatment facilities as approved by the North Carolina Board of Water and Air Resources under Permit No. 1922. The quality of the wash water is periodically analyzed for turbidity, suspended solids and pH. The washing of the crushed granite does not effect the chem- istry of the wash water in any way. To prevent land slides, erodible slopes in disposal areas and adjacent to the excavation will be at a gradient no steeper than lz:l, and will be protected in accordance with the revegetation plans included herein. Reclamation Plan I. Describe your intended plan for the reclamation and subsequent use of all affected lands and indicate the general methods to be used in re- claiming this land. The reclamation plan is to return the site to a natural state when operations are terminated. A master plan has been developed and systematically as quarrying continues it is directed towards this plan. In general, the lower portion of the pit area will be permitted to fill with water; the settling basins will be cleaned of silt and made into ponds. The pit area pond and settling basins will be stocked with fish and other aquatic life. All disturbed areas will be developed and restored as set forth in the revegetation plan. It is envisioned that the restored quarry site will be of an open space concept; picnicking, hiking, sightseeing, fishing and swimming are a few of the activities that could go Qn in this area. 2. Indicate what practices you will take to protect adjacent surface resources. Adjacent resources will be protected by the stabilization of erodible slopes as set forth in the revegetation plan. Wash water will be treated in settling basins as hereinbefore described. 3. State the method of prevention or elimination of conditions that will be hazardous to animal or fish life in or adjacent to the affected areas: Fish life in the Crabtree Creek will be protected by the above described methods. To insure adequate protective cover and food for animal life, only the necessary area required to economically operate the quarry are being disturbed. When possible, the existing trees and vegetation are allowed to remain. In disturbed erodible areas, the revegetation plan prescribes the planting of sericea lespedeza and in some locations pine trees. These will provide food and protective cover for animal life in the general area. d. Describe provisions for safety to persons and to adjoining property in all excavations in rock. All excavation in rock is in excess of 300 feet from any adjacent property. Protection of the nearest property is detailed in paragraph 3 of the Applica- tion for A Mining Permit. The entrance roads to the quarry are protected by a substantial metal gate which is locked at all times when the quarry is not operating. To provide safety to persons the periphery of the excavation area will be protected by massive boulders. To insure stability of the rock slopes the excavation is being performed in approximately 30 foot benches with an appropriate safety ledge between each bench. Reclamation Plan 5. Describe plans, if any, for screening operations from public view. Parallel to the east limits of the quarry excavation, a barrier berm has been planted in pines and lespedeza and screens the quarry operation from public view along Duraleigh Road. 6. State the method of rehabilitation of settling ponds if to be reclaimed during the life of the permit. It is not intended that the settling basins will be reclaimed during the life of this permit. Should for any unforeseen reasons it,would be necessary to abandon this quarry prior to the ten year tenure of this permit, the settling basins will be cleaned out and developed into useable ponds as described above. 7. State the method of control of contaminants and disposal of mining refuse: All of the crushing and processing equipment uses electricity for a source of power. The only fuel used is in the excavating and hauling equipment. This is principally diesel fuel which is stored in underground tanks and dis- pensed directly into the equipment. Lubricating oils removed from equip- ment at oil change periods is utilized for dust control on quarry travel ways. There are no chemicals involved in this operation. Metallic scrapes and similar wastes are transported off the quarry site for disposal through other commercial agencies. The debris that may result from clearing operations is buried in disposal areas. All strippings are placed in protective berms or in disposal areas in accordance with the master reclamation plan. 8. Indicate the method of restoration or establishment of stream channels and stream beds to a condition minimizing erosion, siltation and other pollution: Slopes of banks of Crabtree Creek adjacent to the Plant are protected with dumped rock rip rap. Any accumulations of silt in the Creek are periodically cleaned out. Reclamation Plan 9. Describe provisions for prevention of noxious, odious or foul water collect- ing or remaining in mined areas. During the active life of the quarry, the pit area is continuously dewatered by using pumps. Settling ponds are kept fresh by the continual intake and discharge of wash water from the process operation. Ultimate reclamation of the settling basins and pit area was hereinbefore described. T 10. Describe how the surface gradient in unconsolidated materials will be re- stored to a condition suitable for the proposed subsequent use of the land after reclamation is completed and proposed method of accomplishment: In general, no unconsolidated materials will exist on the site. As strip - pings are placed in the disposal areas it is compacted by the hauling and spreading equipment. In these areas as well as other erodible areas, the slopes and gradients will be compatible to the revegetation plan herein described. Reclamation Plan 11. Describe your plan for revegetation or other surface treatment of the affected areas. Note requirement of Regulation Number 1.

The present quarry pit has been developed in general to its ultimate limita- tions. Revegetation is applicable to erodible areas that have been disturbed prior to the effective date of the Mining Permit. The earth type berm which has been developed along the east side of the quarry parallel to Duraleigh Road has previously been seeded in sericea lespedeza and now has a reason- able growth. This berm has also been planted with loblolly pine. An ac- ceptable growth has developed. Periodically in the early Fall of 1972, some maintenance revegetation work will be done. The dikes and slopes of the settling basins have previously been seeded in fescue grass. This has developed a reasonable stand of revegetation. Main- tenance reseeding will be performed in the Fall of 1972. Other erodible areas designated on the revegetation plan will be planted in the Fall of 1972. The purpose of planting all of these areas as soon as possible is to minimize and /or eliminate erosion and siltation to Crabtree Creek and adjacent areas.

The project reviewed involves the Nash County Quarry.' Although the vested rights concept is generally limited to zoning ordinances, it has been extended to other development regulations such as State - promulgated Neuse River Buffer Rules. See 1998 N.C. Sess. Laws 221. Vested rights, through the broader doctrine of equitable estoppel, apply to the Tar - Pamlico River Buffer Rules. The common law criteria for such rights have been set out below for your convenience: (1) Substantial expenditures or contractual obligations incidental to the project incurred prior to the change in the law; (2) Expenditures or obligations incurred in good faith; (3) Expenditures or obligations made in reasonable reliance upon governmental permits or approvals; and, (4) Detriment as a result of the amendment to the law. 1 This is an advisory letter. It has not been reviewed and approved in accordance with procedures for issuing an Attorney General's Opinion Wake Stone Corporation Nash County Quarry July 8, 2005 Page 2 Browning- Ferris Industries v. Guilford County Board ofAdjustment, 126 N.C. App. 168, 484 S.E.2d 411 (1997). As you will recall, you submitted numerous site plans for this quarry, as well as Mining Permit No. No. 64 -11 and its several modifications, various correspondence from DWQ including a 401 certification determination, and a chronology of the actions taken by Wake Stone and DENR in this regard. From the analysis of the materials submitted, the four common law vested rights requirements have been satisfied. First, according to the report submitted by Wake Stone, substantial expenditures have been made, a capital investment of $12, 835,525.00 from 1990 to December 21, 2000. Second, Wake Stone has acted in good faith as they received the Mining Permit and modifications before the Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules ( "the Rules ") became effective. Third, from the initiation of mining activities in Nash County, Wake Stone relied on governmental permits in pursuit of this enterprise. Fourth, Wake Stone has demonstrated that it would suffer a detriment if the Rules are imposed. Specifically, a review of the Site Plan of the proposed expansion of the mine indicates that Wake Stone's ability to fully develop the quarry as originally planned and permitted would be limited to Wake Stone's detriment by application of the Rules. Wake Stone, having satisfied the four common law vested rights requirements, has a vested right with respect to the Nash Quarry and the enforcement of the Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules thereon, in my opinion. This letter is not an opinion as to whether or not the current proposal is within the conditions of any existing 404 Certification issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or whether a further certification by it would be required.

Box 190 Knightdale, N.C. 27545 919/266 -1100 Fax 919/266 -1149 www.wakestonecorp com In November of 1989, Wake Stone Corporation identified and permitted reserves for a rock quarry in Nash County with an expected life of 50 to 75 years. During the past 15 years of operating the quarry, we have initiated and received a number of Mining Permit modifications pertinent to the systematic expansion of the operation These permit modifications became necessary as additional properties were acquired and added to the originally permitted tract, and to ensure that approved sediment and erosion control structures were properly designed and installed as the pit was expanded. Current planning for this operation requires an additional permit modification in order to expand the pit to the northwest To date, all permits approved for the Nash County Quarry were issued prior to implementation of the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rules in January 2000. Based on the fact that the entire property was permitted long before buffer rules were implemented in the Tar - Pamlico River basin, we believe the quarry should be exempt from these regulations. In issuing the initial permits for the operation in 1989, the State was aware of Wake Stone's intent to fully develop /mine all of its property in Nash County and subsequently granted permits encompassing the entire quarry property. Debbie Edwards April 20, 2005 Page 2 By this letter we respectfully request that a vested rights determination be made for the Nash County Quarry, specifically since the operation was permitted under regulations that did not require mitigation for riparian buffers. We have included a permitting chronology, copies of permits received for the noted expansions, and a listing of Company expenditures with this letter. Please review the attached substantiating documentation and let David Lee or myself know if you have any questions. Thank you for your attention to our request.

In early March of 1989, WSC approached the Nash County North Carolina Office of Planning with a request to zone /rezone a 309 acre tract at the intersection of SR 1527 and SR 1528 near the Gold Rock community in northern Nash County. At the time of Wake Stone's request, only approximately 9 acres of the 309 acre tract was zoned R -30, with the balance being un- zoned. WSC petitioned the Nash County Office of Planning to re -zone the 9 acre portion and to zone the remaining 300 acres under a "Conditional Use MI Zoning" classification to allow opening of a crushed stone operation including an open pit for the extraction of granite, a manufacturing/processing plant, a maintenance facility /employee house, a scale /office structure, a concrete manufacturing plant and an asphalt plant. On April 24, 1989 the Nash County Board of Adjustment issued the Special Use Permit allowing opening of the proposed crushed stone operation. MininLy Permit No. 64 -11 Having secured appropriate conditional use zoning for the proposed quarry operation, Wake Stone applied for a mining permit from the North Carolina Division of Land Resources in July of 1989. Mining Permit No. 64 -11, incorporating 309.87 acres, was issued on November 1, 1989 (copy attached as Appendix A). This initial mining permit issuance incorporated a 401 Water Quality Certification from NCDWQ and 404 (Nationwide 26) permitting from the USACOE for impacts related to the initial pit opening and perimeter berm construction, including wetland impacts and relocation/rerouting of a stream draining the planned initial pit area. During calendar year 1990 the adjoining Pearsall tract was purchased and 89.65 acres of the tract (that portion located north of SR 1527) incorporated into the area covered under the musing permit through a mining permit modification issued on February 18, 1991 (copy of modified mining permit attached as Appendix B). (A composite property map illustrating the acreage covered under these initial versions of the mining permit is attached as Appendix C). In July of 1997 the Nash County Office of Planning re -zoned the 89.65 acres to "Conditional Use MI Zoning" to allow mining related industrial development of the tract. During calendar year 1997 a subsequent mining permit modification application was submitted to DLR and the modified permit issued on September 15, 1997 (copy attached as Appendix D). This permit action was for expansion of the pit area, extension of the western diversion channel and expansion of the western overburden disposal berm. Extension of the western diversion channel was planned and executed as the initial phase for future pit expansions into the western and northern portions of the permitted area. This permitting phase required additional 401 Water Quality Certification from DWQ and 404 permitting from the USACOE for extension of the western diversion channel and placement of fill associated with expansion of the overburden disposal berm. As mitigation for these unavoidable impacts, Wake Stone provided a 100' wide conservation easement along Swift Creek. 4 In October 1999 Wake Stone applied to the DLR for a 10 year renewal of the mining permit. The renewal permit issued on November 30, 1999 incorporated 402 acres under permit and provided for an additional 22.4 acres of northwestward pit expansion (copy attached as Appendix E). Vested Rights Determination Relative to Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules Historically, determinations of project - specific common law vested rights have been based upon a determination of the project meeting four specific criteria. Those criteria are: (1) that substantial expenditures have been made, (2) that those expenditures were made in good faith (without knowledge of impending rule changes that might impede the project), (3) that those substantial expenditures were made in good faith on an appropriate approval being received from a public entity, and (4) that imposition of new rules will prevent the project from being completed as designed or will impose an unreasonable burden on the developer. Examination of Vested Rights Determination Criteria In examining whether or not significant expenditures have been made on a project, case law excludes the purchase price of the land since this does not tie the development to any particular path. In the case of a mine site, such a determination is erroneous since the purchase price of the land is based in part on the value of the minerals contained therein. Likewise, the location of mining operations is determined first and foremost by the location and availability of the mineral resource. In the case of the Nash County Quarry, that mineral resource is the granitic stone being quarried and processed for manufacturing construction aggregate. The site chosen for the quarry was dependent upon available stone resource, available property, public need for the products produced by the operation, and proximity to major transportation corridors. Wake Stone Corporation certainly has made significant expenditures in establishing and developing the Nash County Quarry. Significant capital expenditures were made in conducting exploration of the site, completing feasibility studies, conducting wetlands and endangered species assessments, designing and constructing the processing facilities, and in the purchase of mobile mining equipment (trucks, loaders, shovels, excavators, dozers, welding machines, etc.). These expenditures (tabulated in Appendix F), were ntade in good faith that Wake Stone would be able to fully develop the mining project over the anticipated 50 to 75 year lifespan, and without any knowledge of impending rule changes (in this case, riparian buffer rules) that would adversely affect the company's ability to fully develop the project. Mining operations are known within the industry and regulatory community to be long life projects that typically start small and grow with time and increasing demand for the products produced. The Nash County Quarry is no different The expectation for a 50 -75 year lifespan with anticipated increased demand for product over time was a fundamental reason that the site was chosen for development as a quarry. i The significant expenditures made in good faith that the project could be developed to its fullest potential were made with knowledge of the need for reliance on government permits. Wake Stone has systematically sought and received those necessary public entity approvals, from the initial county zoning approvals to periodic modifications to the mining permit, including 401 and 404 approvals as needed. Now, nearly 16 years into the project, Wake Stone is faced with rule changes which pose a significant detriment to the company's ability to fully develop the project as first conceived. Imposition of the riparian buffer rules in the Tar - Pamlico River Basin, with the rule dictated migration ratios required for impact to the buffers, poses a significant detriment to Wake Stone's ability to fully develop the project. The cost of securing acceptable buffer mitigation, whether through payment to the EEP or through off -site mitigation, severely limits Wake Stone's development options. That, combined with the site topography and drainage pattern significantly limits the maximum development (mining) potential of the site. J V N ELLO T E NELLO L.

A property or development is only "grandfathered" when it can establish in court that it has acquired a "vested right" to continue development as planned. Although the courts can only make this determination, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) can inform you of its position with respect to the question of "vested rights" for a project. The DWQ has decided to request a review and recommendation from the Attorney General's Office of your request. The Attorney General's Office has advised the DWQ that Wake Stone Corporation Nash County Quarry has a "vested right" to complete your plans to continue to mine for crushed stone within the 402 acres as approved in permit No. 64 -11 (Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section, Permit for the operation of a mining activity) dated November 30, 1999 and "Site Plan — September 1999 Renewal with Modifications" last revised September 28, 1999 as indicated within your April 20, 2005 request for "grandfathering" with additional information dated May 2, 2005. Therefore, your proposed project will not have to comply with the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new request for approval and possibly comply with the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. Any mining activity other than what is indicated in your request will need to comply with the Tar- Pamlico Buffer Rules.
