Additional issues raised by USACE at the June 30, 2015 meeting regarding a Draft version of this Addendum are also addressed. 8.1 Practicability of Utilizing Allen /Sewares Properties USACE Issue USACE requested "more information ... to address the practicability of utilizing known rock on the Allen/Sewares property ... [and] to explain in detail why mining the Allen/Sewares property is not practicable." Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response As a general matter, "practicable" is defined as "available and capable of being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purposes." 40 C.F.R. 230.3(q). The Application and this Addendum provide information regarding factors relevant to a determination of whether an alternative is "practicable" in this context. More specifically, detailed responsive information and analyses are set forth in the below discussion, Addendum Appendix K (Revised Alternatives Comparison Table), Addendum Appendix L (Allen/Sewares Adjacent Property Owner Information), and Application Section 1.1 and Application Appendix E (Correspondence with Allen family). Martin Marietta had previously attempted to reach an agreement with the Allen family for the purchase of the Allen/Sewares property located south of the railroad (shown in Appendix M, Figure 6) when the Benson Quarry was first sited and created (Application at 2 Benson Quarry Expansion Appendix E). However, the purchase and use of this property at this juncture for quarry expansion is impracticable due to a number of circumstances discussed below. • Pro-oertv acquisition uncertaintv and cost. , Prior to the use of this property, Martin Marietta would need to first purchase the rights to mine the property. There is a high degree of uncertainty as to whether the necessary property may be acquired at all. The necessity of purchasing multiple tracts from multiple owners would likely increase this uncertainty. If Martin were able to negotiate the purchase of the property necessary to undertake mining activities, Martin estimates that the cost of purchasing the properties would exceed $8,000 per acre. This estimate is based on the real estate materials summarized and provided in Appendix N, which show an average per acre cost of approximately $4,021 for recent sales of comparable raw land, and Martin's experience negotiating for the purchase of property adjacent to existing quarry operations as discussed more specifically below in Section 8.9. • Potential reserves are limited. If the property could be acquired, estimated potential reserves are limited to a total of 7,745,472 tons due to the configuration of the property and required 250 -foot set -backs (assuming that the property were able to be re -zoned for mining).' The potential reserve areas are shown in Appendix M at Figure 6. Additionally, utilization of the Allen/Sewares property would be even more limited without obtaining additional adjoining property due to the configuration of the property. See Addendum Appendix L (Allen/Sewares Adjacent Property Owner Information). • Land - use /rezoning uncertaintv and costs. Prior to the use of the Allen/Sewares property for quarry expansion, the property must be rezoned and a special use permit must be obtained from the Johnston County Board of Commissioners. Significant cost and uncertainty are associated with these actions. The necessary land use authorizations are likely to be contested because the land use would impact 13 additional individual owners of the 18 parcels of property adjacent to the Allen/Sewares property. See Addendum Appendix L (Allen/Sewares Adjacent Property Owner Information). As in all such rezonings, there will likely be concerns raised by landowners about proximity to blasting, noise, dust, vibration, traffic, and impacts on property values. Therefore, opposition by adjacent property owners may prevent Martin Marietta from obtaining the Johnston County land use authorizations necessary to utilize this property for quarry expansion. The cost, timeline, and uncertainty of ' Pursuant to Johnston County Ordinance 14- 257(d)(5), 250 -foot setback areas from property lines are required for mining activities. Johnston Cty. Ord. 14- 257(d)(5)f. ( "No land disturbance shall take place within 250 feet of the zoning lot line or the property line where the zoning line and the property line are one and the same. "). Johnston Cty. Ord. 14- 257(d)(5)g. ( "Within the 250 -foot setback area, existing vegetation shall be retained for the purpose of providing a visual screen and noise buffer. No disturbance or removal of vegetation shall be permitted except for access roads leading from the excavation area to public roads. Where vegetation within the 250 -foot setback does not exist, the applicant shall be required to provide a dense, evergreen buffer consistent with the purpose cited above. The buffer shall be in place prior to the initiation of any excavation activities. "). 3 Benson Quarry Expansion obtaining the necessary land use authorizations are significant barriers to the use of this property for mine expansion. • Logistical limitations re2ardin2 placement of overburden and potential crossing of NC Hwv. 301 to the south for overburden placement_ Further limiting the practicability of use of the property are the limited options for placement of overburden, which would likely require purchase and rezoning of additional properties to use for placement and storage of overburden, and/or arranging for means by which to cross the railroad tracks and/or the heavily traveled state road (NC Highway 301) to the south of the properties to place an estimated 1,151,920 cubic yards of overburden removed (assuming a minimum 60 -foot overburden depth), which would require an estimated 46,076 truckloads (assuming 25 cubic yards per load) and associated costs. There is significant uncertainty as to whether permission to cross the road may be negotiated due to potential safety concerns and other factors. If permission could be negotiated, such permission would likely be costly and time - consuming to obtain. Moreover, construction costs alone associated with a road crossing are estimated to be approximately $312,000 based on Martin's experience at other similar sites. • Railroad crossing uncertaintv and cost. Access to the Allen/Sewares property would also require negotiating and obtaining permission to cross the railroad in order to effectively transport quarried rock to the existing facility for processing. There is significant uncertainty as to whether such permission may be negotiated, and may not be possible due to potential safety concerns and other factors. If permission could be negotiated, such permission would likely be costly and time - consuming to obtain. Moreover, construction costs alone associated with a railroad crossing have been estimated at a minimum of $99,000 based upon Martin's experience at other similar sites. • Additional stream / wetlands impacts. Accessing the Allen/Sewares property across Stoney Fork would also require impacts to existing streams and necessitate 401/404 permitting and mine permitting. It can be assumed that the crossing would be perpendicular to the stream and would result in a minimum of 100 feet of impact to Stony Fork, a perennial stream. Mitigation required for this impact would be at a 2:1 ratio, so a 100 feet impact would cost $76,200 through NC DENR EEP at current rates. 8.2 Benson Quarry Market Area USACE Issue USACE had indicated some confusion concerning the discussion of market area for the Benson Quarry, and had requested additional narrative to address market area in light of the general rule -of -thumb 30 -mile radius for trucking and the circumstances of the Benson Quarry operations. Appendix J. 4 Benson Quarry Expansion Martin Marietta Response Martin Marietta notes that 33 CFR 320.4(q) provides, "When private enterprise makes application for a permit, it will generally be assumed that appropriate economic evaluations have been completed, the proposal is economically viable, and is needed in the market place." Nonetheless, additional narrative regarding market analyses is set forth below in addition to that already provided in Application Section 1.2 and Appendix A (Figures 3 and 4). In sum, as discussed more specifically below, the economics of transporting aggregate plays a major role in determining what quarry (or stone yard) will be utilized to meet market needs at the lowest cost and with the best service. The metavolcanic deposit at the Benson Quarry site is unique for the area, as shown on Application Appendix A, Figure 4. The general rule -of -thumb of a 20 -mile to 30 -mile market radius for construction grade aggregate does not strictly apply to the Benson Quarry because it does not serve a typical market area via truck. Rather, due to the limited ability of other quarries to economically provide product to the market southeast of I -95 because of the lack of deposits in that geographic area, and Benson's geographic location in close proximity to I -95 and I -40, the Benson Quarry has a relative competitive haul advantage for granite material markets in areas southeast of I -95. Benson is located just north of the Intersection of I -40 and I -95 in Johnston County. Hanson Aggregates operates the Gardner Quarry 40 miles to the west and the Princeton Quarry 25 miles to the east. Neither of these two quarries have a quick or direct access to I- 40. Therefore, Benson has a competitive haul advantage to any customer that may desire granite material southeast of 1 -95. Due to the weight of construction grade aggregate, a typical quarry will serve a market of 20 to 30 miles. However, Benson is not a typical quarry nor does it serve a typical market area via truck. With the added cost of transportation via rail of hard rock material from Martin Marietta's Lemon Springs Quarry to Martin Marietta's Castle Hayne Yard, in some cases it may be cheaper to deliver the stone beyond the typical 20 -30 mile service area via truck from Benson to serve the customer, rather than servicing the customer from the Castle Hayne rail yard. Once delivered to the Castle Hayne Yard, granite material is approximately 67% more expensive than material that is purchased from Benson. Therefore, to transport this material north on I -40 towards Benson would add additional transportation costs (via truck) for the customer. Therefore, it may be more expensive than transporting this same material from Benson to the given project down I -40, which may in some cases, be outside of the typical 20 -30 mile service area of the typical quarry. 8.3 Selma Quarry Market Area USACE Issue USACE had requested "more information ... to address the practicability of utilizing known rock on the Martin Marietta mine site in Selma ... [to] satisfy at least some of the market need." Appendix J. 5 Benson Quarry Expansion Martin Marietta Response With reference to 33 CFR 320.4(q), additional information and analysis of the impracticability of the Selma Quarry to satisfy the Benson market need is set forth below in addition to that discussed in Application Section 1.2 and Appendix A, Figure 3. Application Appendix A, Figure 3 identifies the overall market area that the Benson Quarry may serve. The Selma Quarry is located just to the north of that market area, approximately 20 miles northeast of Benson and 20 miles from the intersection of I -40 and I- 95. In general, the industry standard in costs of transporting aggregates is approximately $0.18 to $0.22 per ton per mile (an average of $0.20) — resulting in a roughly $4 per ton increase in cost in comparison to aggregate transported from Benson Quarry. With an approximate cost of $9 to $12 per ton from Benson, this represents a cost increase of approximately 33% to 44% in comparison to the Benson Quarry for all of the Benson Quarry market area east and southeast of the I- 40/1 -95 intersection, which could not be effectively served by the Selma Quarry. It is theoretically possible that Selma could service a very small area in the very northernmost market area served by Benson, to provide product to locations where there would be lower transportation costs from the Selma Quarry than from the Benson Quarry, taking into account the Benson proximity to the 1- 401 -95 corridor. However, the use of the Selma Quarry to serve this very small geographic area would require significant unplanned investment in the development of the Selma Quarry, which costs are estimated to be in excess of $15m. This investment in Selma is not merited due to a number of reasons, including current market restrictions that put Selma at a disadvantage relative to other Martin quarries as well as competitor quarry operations. In short, the Selma Quarry is not a viable option to provide product to any significant portion of the Benson Quarry market. 8.4 Overburden Removal Cost USACE Issue USACE had requested that Martin Marietta "revise the cost of each alternative to assume the same overburden removal cost. Unless there is a good reason for the cost to be different." Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response Martin Marietta has revised Application Appendix F (Alternatives Comparison Table), which is presented in its revised form as Addendum Appendix K (Revised Alternatives Comparison Table) so that the overburden removal and disposal costs associated with each alternative all reflect a consistent estimated cost of $3.00 /cy3, which represents a general overall average cost estimate based on Martin's experience and professional judgment. 8.5 Compensatory Mitigation — Direct Impacts USACE Issue USACE had requested that Martin Marietta revise the costs incorporated into each alternative to reflect a required compensatory mitigation ratio of 2:1 for any direct impacts to the wetland system. Appendix J. 6 Benson Quarry Expansion Martin Marietta Response Martin Marietta accepts the 2:1 mitigation ratio for direct wetland impacts. The mitigation cost in each alternative has been revised to reflect this ratio, as shown in Appendix K (Revised Alternatives Comparison Table). 8.6 Compensatory Mitigation — Indirect Impacts USACE Issue USACE had noted that the mitigation cost for alternatives 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 include both direct and indirect impacts to wetlands, but that the cost of indirect impacts is usually less than the cost for direct impacts; and had requested that, for the purposes of the analysis, the cost of indirect impacts be calculated based on a 1:1 ratio. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response Martin Marietta accepts the 1:1 mitigation ratio for the indirect wetland impacts. Indirect mitigation values have not been incorporated into Appendix K (Revised Alternatives Comparison Table) per the request of NC WRC, and as noted in footnote (f) of Appendix K. 8.7 Monitoring Plan USACE Issue USACE had requested that Martin Marietta submit a plan to monitor the remaining wetland system, and that the plan include a proposal to compensate for any indirect functional loss that occurs from the mine expansion. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response A wetland monitoring plan is included at Addendum Appendix O, and includes a proposal to mitigate for any indirect functional loss that occurs from the mine expansion at a l: l ratio by payment to a private mitigation bank at the time the impacts are documented to have occurred. If credits are not available from a private mitigation bank at that time, Martin intends to make payment to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Mitigation Services In -lieu Fee Program, in accord with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143- 214.11 and 143- 214.20. 8.8 On -Site Compensatory Mitigation USACE Issue USACE indicated that should Martin Marietta propose an on -site compensatory mitigation plan for the wetlands that have the potential to develop along the newly constructed channel, as there may be a potential to offset any unavoidable impacts to the wetlands that may be indirectly affected from Stoney Fork's relocation. Appendix J. 7 Benson Quarry Expansion Martin Marietta Response Martin Marietta does not intend to request future compensatory mitigation credits for any wetlands that may form in the constructed channel. 8.9 Land Acquisition Estimated Costs USACE Issue USACE requested that the cost of land acquisition be consistent throughout the Application and representative of 2015 land values. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response Application Section 3.1.3 and Appendix F addressed the issue of land acquisition costs, which are also addressed again in this Section 8.9 and in Addendum Appendices K (Revised Alternatives Comparison Table) and N (Real Estate Summary Table and MLS documents). Comparable MLS listings were obtained with assistance from Whitco Properties in Benson, NC and show an average of $4,021 per acre. However, based on Martin's experience of acquiring adjacent properties for mine expansion under similar circumstances, Martin estimates actual acquisition costs at approximately $8,000 per acre as indicated in the Application and Addendum Appendix K. 8.10 Wetlands Crossing — Technical Details USACE Issue USACE had indicated a view that there were inconsistencies regarding the crossing of the wetland system — that the Application stated that a permanent roadway crossing the wetland would not be possible without an increase in the 100 -year flood elevation, which was interpreted to contradict the letter provided by Ecological Engineers indicating that a minimum of 11 RCBC culverts would be necessary to fully avoid impacts up and down stream. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response Martin has reconfirmed that there is a need for a minimum of 11 RCBC culverts in order to avoid an increase in the 100 -year flood elevation above Raleigh Road, if Alternative 3.1.3 were undertaken. This is consistent with the Ecological Engineers letter, which is included in Application Appendix G. The Application stated that a permanent roadway "would potentially flood property owners upstream." The use of 11 RCBS culverts would alleviate this potential impact. 8.11 Wetlands Crossing — Cost Details USACE Issue USACE had requested a clarification regarding the practicability of crossing the wetland system, noting, "according to the footnote in the alternative tables, it would cost the same to build the road over the wetland/stream. If a road can be built over the natural wetland 8 Benson Quarry Expansion system and it cost the same to cross a constructed channel, why is the road crossing being used to establish that this alternative is not practicable ?" Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response Application Section 3.1.6 and Appendix F provide information relating to this issue, and Addendum Appendix K shows the information and clarification requested, which is also set forth below. Expected costs for constructing a permanent crossing through or over the existing wetlands were obtained from average bids from multiple State DOT's for major roadway construction. Access across the existing wetland system Bridge - $1.92 Million. To support the expected loads of mining equipment, a bridge of sufficient size and capacity will cost approximately $200 /sq. ft. of deck. This takes into account the end bents, interior bents, etc. Therefore, for crossing the existing system with a 120' x 80' bridge, the cost would be $200 /sq. ft. x 120' x 80' _ $1.92 Million. Box Culverts - $2.97 Million. To avoid an increase in the 100 -year flood elevation above Raleigh Road, a crossing of eleven - 9' x 10' Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts (RCBC) would be required. The expected cost of such a structure would be $30 /Sq. Ft. of Opening /LF. Therefore, $30 /sq. ft. x 90 sq. ft. of Opening x 100' long x 11 culverts = $2.97 Million. Access across the New Diversion Channel - The costs of a permanent structure in the proposed channel will be $30 /Sq. Ft. of Opening/LF. Therefore, $30 /sq. ft. x 100 sq. ft. of Opening x 100' long x 4 culverts = $1.20 Million. Again, these costs are reflected in Appendix K. 8.12 Reserves Estimates USACE Issue USACE requested clarification regarding the variation in potential reserves among previous submissions. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response Martin Marietta has sought to provide accurate, up -to -date values for potential reserves in its previous 404 permit application submissions, including the Application. The differences in the figures provided on different dates is due to depletion of reserves as production has taken place over time. Therefore, previous 404 permit application documents should not be used to determine current reserve totals. Accordingly, and as reflected in Addendum Appendix K, reserve estimates have been further revised for this submission based 9 Benson Quarry Expansion on recent and more thorough and accurate estimates, which compensate for previous estimation errors. 8.13 Estimated Reserves — Figures USACE Issue USAGE noted that the alternative 3.1.4 map showed the current location of the primary crushing station as being mined, but that the alternative 3.1.7 map appeared to show this area excluded from the potential pit area. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response Alternatives 3.1.4 and 3.1.7 are presented as individual alternatives, as they have been discussed during the initial meetings and presented in the Application. Estimated reserve volumes for each alternative have been reassessed and reconfirmed and the revised figures provided for each alternative in Appendix M (Figures 2.1 -2.6) accurately show the actual area of reserves for each alternative, including the figures for Alternatives 3.1.4 (Figure 2.3) and 3.1.7 (Figure 2.6). The reserve quantities for each Atternative are also accurately stated in Addendum Appendix K. 8.14 Estimated Reserves — Scope USACE Issue USACE noted that the original Application Figure 2.1 for alternative 3.1.1 it appears that the reserves currently available under the no action alternative are included in the 3.1.3 alternative, and requested clarification as to whether the existing minable reserves are included in the reserve quantities of the other alternatives. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response It has been reconfirmed that reserve quantities shown for alternatives 3.1.1 (2,200,000 tons — Addendum Appendix M, Figure 2.1) and 3.1.3 (8,983,616 tons — Appendix M, Figure 2.2) are accurate and are independent of each other. However, it should be noted that the alternatives "build" on each other. For instance, if the overburden presented in 3.1.3 were to be removed and the reserves mined in this area, the pit would need to first progress as shown in 3.1.1. Therefore, 3.1.3 could not be mined without first conducting the mining expansion presented in 3.1.1, and so includes the reserves shown for Alternative 3.1.1. For spacial comparison of these two alternatives and the reserves associated with each, please refer to Appendix M Figures 2.1 and 2.2. 8.15 Facility Relocation / Construction — Additional Information USACE Issue USACE requested that any alternative that involves moving crushing equipment, etc. to another location on the property include a level of detail necessary to understand the time 10 Benson Quarry Expansion required to relocate equipment and /or build a new facility that would allow the mine to continue to operate, or, otherwise, the general ramifications upon the employees, customers and long term customer base. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response As set forth in Application Section 3.1.7 and more specifically below and shown in Appendix K, each alternative that describes the relocation of an existing crushing plant or the construction of a new crushing plant involves many aspects that would make that alternative impracticable, which include the following. • A new plant will cost at least $15M in construction costs, plus additional costs of engineering design and site development. This would be an immediate up -front cost.2 Moreover, a new plant would necessarily be constructed with all new equipment, if the existing plant continued to operate while the new plant is being built. In terms of a timeline, engineering and design of a new plant may take approximately 12 months and construction an additional 9 to 12 months. • Once the construction of the new plant is completed, the "old" plant would need to be removed before the area could be mined. The demolition alone could easily take up to 6 months. After the "old" plant is removed, the overburden beneath the "old" plant would need to be removed before mining could be initiated in that area. Though not all of the 5.395M cubic yards of overburden calculated in this alternative (3.1.7) would necessarily be removed at one time, grading for at least 6 months would be required to open up enough pit area to ensure sufficient reserves were uncovered, while the additional overburden is removed. Again, these are up -front costs. • Removing an existing plant from operation before its useful life is achieved, would result in substantial economic burden. Extensive effort is required to design, construct, and operate these facilities and removing a plant before it has achieved the financial return on investment represents a dead - weight loss of the remaining value of that asset, as little value may be recovered by salvaging the used equipment as scrap metal, or by attempting to move the facility to another location. • The financial implications described in the above paragraphs would render any alternative requiring this work impracticable. 2 As discussed below in Section 8.18 and in Appendix P (Present Value Costs Memorandum), based on comments from USACE personnel at the June 30, 2015 meeting, Martin Marietta further revised Appendix K (Revised Alternatives Table) to show the present value of costs for each Alternative to provide a common relative basis for comparison of costs among Alternatives. 3 The life span of an aggregate quarry plant is generally in the range of 50 years. 11 Benson Quarry Expansion • Additionally, if capital funds were not available to construct a new plant, the old plant would have to be dis- assembled and re- constructed, after the future plant site was designed and graded. In the interim, the economic ramifications of taking the facility "off - line" would include, but certainly not be limited to, the following: o Employees would have to be laid off with no guarantee that they would be available when mining was to resume; o Customers could not be provided with the necessary materials to conduct their businesses, straining customer relationships and potentially losing customers; o Vendors and suppliers would be impacted with possible jobs being lost; o New business (jobs that will require aggregate) could not be accepted or achieved due to the plant not being operable; o Trucking companies' revenues and driver jobs would be eliminated or greatly reduced; o Local gas stations and heavy truck repair shops would lose business, and similar ripple effects would impact the local and regional economies. o Other similar ripple effects that would impact the local economy. 8.16 Clarification of Figures USACE Issue USACE requested that maps of alternatives include a legend and key as to what the various colors represent for easier comprehension. Appendix J. Martin Marietta Response Revised and supplemental figures are provided in Appendix M, with the requested legends/keys and other revisions intended to aid comprehension. 8.17 Additional Miscellaneous Issues USACE Issue USACE raised several miscellaneous issues for the first time at the June 30, 2015 meeting regarding a Draft version of this Addendum. Martin Marietta Response Martin Marietta has addressed a number of issues raised at the June 30, 2015 meeting in the above responses. These include the following: (1) additional information regarding acreage for potential indirect impacts, which is shown in Addendum Appendix M Figures 2.4 and 2.5 and Appendix K, footnote (f); (2) additional information regarding typical lifespan of 12 Benson Quarry Expansion a quarry plant, which is stated in Section 8.15 at footnote 3 above; (3) amendment of Alternatives figures to be consistent in showing overburden storage and to indicate that overburden shown on each figure is the maximum overburden storage potential and the bases for the calculation, which has been addressed in Appendix M, Figures 2.1 -2.6. Various additional minor and technical typographical issues associated with the Draft document were also addressed. 8.18 Additional Costs Issues USACE Issue USACE raised several costs - related issues for the first time at the June 30, 2015 meeting to discuss a Draft version of this Addendum. These included questions as to whether the incremental costs associated with each Alternative should be presented and assessed in present -value terms, and how the present -value of incremental costs per ton associated with each Alternative compare among alternatives in relation to overall cost or value per ton for the crushed stone industry. Martin Marietta Response Martin Marietta retained a consultant economist to calculate the present value of incremental costs associated with each alternative. These calculations were undertaken as discussed in Appendix P (Present Value Costs Memorandum), and are presented in Addendum Appendix K, which was further revised after the June 30 meeting to incorporate the present -value incremented cost per ton achieved calculations. Of particular note, as stated in the Present Value Costs Memorandum (Appendix P), the present value incremental cost per ton associated with the applicant - preferred Alternative 3.1.6 is 20 cents in comparison to the 53 cents per ton for Alternative 3.1.7 (new plant). This 33 -cent incremental cost difference is unreasonably expensive for Martin Marietta, is not cost - effective, and is not practicable. See 40 CFR 230.10(a)(2); 45 Fed. Reg. 85336 at pp. 6 ( "to be practicable, an alternative must be capable of achieving the basic purpose of the proposed activity ") and 11 ( "If an alleged alternative is unreasonably expensive to the applicant, the alternative is not 'practicable."'). In terms of present value of total incremental costs, Alternative 3.1.7 (new plant) is $21,251,903, which is more than two and a half times the $7,970,799 associated with Alternative 3.1.6. To provide additional context for the unreasonableness and cost - ineffectiveness of the additional incremental cost burden of Alternative 3.1.7 (new plant) in comparison to Alternative 3.1.6, one may look to the USGS Stone (Crushed) Annual Minerals Commodities Summary (Appendix Q), which provides a price /value figure of approximately $9.21 per ton ($10.15 per metric ton) for 2014 (the most recent year for which annual data are available). In this context, the additional 33 cents in present value incremental cost per ton of 3.1.7 (new plant) (53 cents) in comparison to Alternative 3.1.6 (20 cents) would represent an additional incremental cost burden amounting to approximately 3.6% of the general industry price /value. This 3.6% additional incremental cost per ton would carry through over the entire life of the permit — 50.1 years under Alternative 3.1.7 (new plant). In the highly competitive crushed 13 Benson Quarry Expansion stone commodities industry, such a burden is unreasonably expensive and neither cost - effective nor practicable. 14 Benson Quarry Expansion LIST OF APPENDICES APPENDIX J: USACE "Outstanding Issues" (April 19, 2015) APPENDIX K: Revised Alternatives Comparison Table APPENDIX L: Allen/Sewares Adjacent Property Owner Information APPENDIX M: Revised / Supplemental Figures APPENDIX N: Real Estate Summary Table and Listing Information APPENDIX O: Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring Plan APPENDIX P: Present Value Costs Memorandum (with consultant economist resume) APPENDIX Q: USGS Stone (Crushed) Annual Minerals Commodities Summary (January 2015) 15 Benson Quarry Expansion APPENDIX J: USACE "Outstanding Issues" (April 19, 2015) 16 Benson Quarry Expansion 4/19/2015 Outstanding Issue - SAW- 2014 -00845 • More information is needed to address the practicability of utilizing known rock on the Allen /Sewares property. It is clear that Martin Marietta pursued the Allen /Sewares property up until 2001 well after Benson Quarry was well established in its current location. Why would Martin Marietta pursue the purchase /lease a piece of land that they didn't think they could mine from their existing facility? Accordingly, the applicant needs to explain in detail why mining the Allen /Sewares property is not practicable. This would entail providing some of the information at the 13 Apr 15 meeting about additional property owners and their proximity to the mine, revisions to the mining plan, crossing of the railroad tracks, etc. • Martin has contended throughout this process that the market area is a 30 -mile radius of Benson due to the granite reserves, yet the map provided in Martin's October submittal showed the market area served by Martin extending almost to Wilmington. The discussion in the meeting on 13 Apr 15 was very insightful about trucking vs. rail and the Corps would appreciate the revised document to provide a narrative to address what appears to be a greater than 30 -mile radius market area. • More information is needed to address the practicability of utilizing known rock on the Martin Marietta mine site in Selma, as it has already been permitted by the Corps. In your second submittal for Alternative 3.1.2 (Locate a New Quarry), Martin contends that the available reserves are not available based on extensive research, the cost of the property, cost of environmental studies and time to permit. The Corps needs clarification as to why this wouldn't satisfy at least some of the market need. You provided some justification in the meeting on 13 Apr 15 -this needs to be provided in greater detail. • Need to revise the cost of each alternative to assume the same overburden removal cost. Unless there is a good reason for the cost to be different. • Compensatory mitigation for any direct impacts to the wetland system would be required at a 2:1 ratio. The cost of each alternative should be revised to reflect this ratio. • The mitigation cost for alternatives 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 include both direct and indirect impacts. In reality, the cost of indirect impacts is usually less than the cost for direct impacts. For the purposes of the analysis, the cost of indirect impacts should be calculated based on a 1:1 ratio. • A plan to monitor the remaining wetland system must be submitted. The plan must include a proposal to compensate for any indirect functional loss that occurs from the mine expansion. The Corps will not consider the use of pumps to maintain wetland hydrology. • Consequently, while no stream mitigation credit will be given for the newly constructed stream channel, should Martin propose an on -site compensatory mitigation plan for the wetlands that have the potential to develop along the newly constructed channel and to monitor them through a typical 7 year plan, there is potential that these areas could offset any unavoidable impacts to the wetlands that may be indirectly affected from Stoney Fork's relocation. However, this plan would need to be to the level of detail that it could be finalized and incorporated into the final permit. No DA permit will be issued based upon the submittal of a conceptual mitigation plan. There is no DA requirement to pursue this, but if Martin doesn't take this step, then it would be very difficult to get agencies to agree to provide mitigation credit after 7 years if no plan was ever implemented, much less monitored. • The cost of land acquisition needs to be consistent throughout the application and representative of 2015 land values. • Inconsistencies regarding the crossing of the wetland system need to be addressed. The application states that a permanent roadway crossing the wetland would not be possible without an increase in the 100 -year flood elevation. The letter provided by Ecological Engineers states that more than 11 RCBC culverts would be necessary to fully avoid impacts up and down stream. These statements seem to contradict. • Clarification regarding the practicability of crossing the wetland system needs to be provided if used to establish that a particular alternative is not practicable. According to the footnote in the alternative tables, it would cost the same to build the road over the wetland /stream. If a road can be built over the natural wetland system and it cost the same to cross a constructed channel, why is the road crossing being used to establish that this alternative is not practicable? • It is unclear why the potential reserves for the various alternatives have varied from the VY submittal to the most recent submittals. During the 13 Apr 15 meeting, you mentioned existing mining rates (around 150,000 tons per month ?). Make sure that you mention that in the next submittal as it helps to support some of the discrepancies that we are seeing in the various alternatives has this project has progressed. • On the alternative 3.1.4 map, it shows the current location of the primary crushing station being mined. On the alternative 3.1.7 map it appears to exclude this area from the potential pit area. Why was this area excluded from the possible pit area? Wouldn't adding this increase the reserves associated with this alternative? • On alternative 3.1.3 it appears that the reserves currently available under the no action alternative are included in the 3.1.3 alternative. It is unclear whether these existing minable reserves are included in the reserve quantities of the other alternatives. • As was discussed in our 13 Apr 15 meeting, you need to make sure that any alternative that involves moving the crushing equipment, etc. to another location on the property involves the level of detail necessary to understand the time required to relocate equipment and /or build a new facility that would allow the mine to continue to operate; otherwise, the general ramifications upon the employees, customers and long term customer base. • When preparing your maps of alternatives, please provide a legend as to what the various colors represent for easier comprehension.

Martin believes this revised estimate is more accurate than the estimate previously reported in the Application. This revised estimate is shown in reserve calculations for Alternatives 3.1.1 and 3.1.3. (b) - In the interest of consistency and simplicity in showing and comparing the estimated years of reserves for each Alternative as a single number, rather than a range as was previously estimated and shown in the Application, estimated years of reserves for each Alternative is calculated by using an overall average of 800,000 tons production per year for all alternatives, and is based on Martin Marietta's professional judgment and projected market needs. . (c) - Estimated costs of removal and disposal for all Alternatives is calculated using an average cost estimate of $3.00 per cubic yard, which is based on Martin Marietta's professional judgment and experience at this and other quarries. The construction of the proposed diversion channel in Alternatives 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 is included in the volumes presented in the "Overburden Removal" values and also included in the overburden costs estimates. (d) - Estimated costs of access across wetlands (bridge or pipes) or over new channel are included in the Cost Per Ton Acheived calculations. (e) - Current NCDMS Riparian Wetland Mitigation Compensation is $69,736 per acre. 2:1 mitigation ratio is used in cost evaluations for Direct wetland impacts. (f) - The additional costs presecribed and associated with each listed Alternative are as follows: 3.1.2 - development of property and facility; 3.1.4 - construction of new primary; 3.1.7 (New Plant) - construction of a new processing plant. As requested by the NC WRC, costs for each Alternate does not include the costs for I7ndirect wetlands impacts.. However, Martin Marietta accepts the required 1:1 mitigation ratio for any potential Indirect wetland impacts that may result from this project. As shown in Addendum Appendix M, Figures 2.4 and 2.5, the estimated potential Indirect wetland impacts are 13.71 acres for Alternative 3. 1.5 and 10.66 acres for Alternative 3.1.6, a difference of 3.05 acres. (g) - Property values obtained with the assistance of Whittco Properties in Benson, NC averaged $4000 per acre. See Addendum Appendix N. Property purchases by Martin Marietta would most likely result in a higher cost per acre - in the range of $8,000 per acre, based on Martin Marietta's experience and profesional judgement. (h) - In order to provide an estimate of the timing of potential property acquisition for overburden disposal, constant and equal overburden removal was assumed throughout the life of the reserves for each alternative and calculated by dividing the Estimated Volume of Overburden by the Estimated Years of Reserves. (i) - The term "Incremental Raw Cost Per Ton Achieved" reflects the costs per ton associated with each Alternative in addition to costs per ton achieved that are common to all Alternatives, such as personnel, machinery, utilities, etc. Martin believes that these impacts can be properly avoided (j) - "Present Value of Total Incremental Cost Per Ton Achieved" is calculated by discounting the future costs to present value for the purposes of relative comparisions amoung Alternatives, as discussed in the Present Value Costs Memorandum attached as Addendum Appendix P.

(Martin) proposes to expand the existing Benson Quarry facility, located southeast of the intersection of Raleigh Road (SR 1330) and Camelia Road (SR 1354) in Johnston County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The proposed quarry expansion activities involve unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands that are subject to Section 404 regulations under the Clean Water Act (CWA). Martin is submitting an Individual Permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requesting authorization to permanently impact 17 acres of wetlands pursuant to Section 404 of the CWA of 1972 (33 USC 1344). An Individual Water Quality Certification will also be requested from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) for these wetland impacts pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The preferred alternative for this project will include diversion of hydrology in the Stony Fork wetland system on the property. This diversion will occur upstream of the proposed direct wetland impacts. The portion of this wetland system between the diversion channel and the direct impact area (Figure 1) may be subject to indirect impacts as a result of this hydrologic alteration. Potential indirect impacts may include changes to natural hydrology which may affect the quality of the wetlands in this area through changes in the number, frequency, duration, and level of flooding events, changes in groundwater levels and shallow groundwater recharge, or other changes in hydroperiod. The degree and magnitude of these potential indirect impacts can not be reliably quantified nor can the impacts be determined to be benign, adverse, or beneficial based solely on information available at this time. The purpose of this document is to provide a plan for monitoring hydrology levels in this area to determine if changes in wetland quality occur as a result of changes to groundwater and surface water levels within the current jurisdictional wetland system. 2.0 Existing Conditions The Stony Fork wetland system on the Benson Quarry property has been characterized as a Bottomland Hardwood Forest per the North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method ( NCWAM). An NCWAM evaluation was performed in July 2014 and the majority of the system, including the area that may be subject to indirect impacts, was determined to be High Quality. One small portion of the system within the proposed direct impact area was determined to be Medium Quality. The Soil Survey of Johnston County, North Carolina depicts three soil mapping units throughout the wetland system within the study area: Altavista fine sandy loam, 0 -2% slopes, occasionally flooded (AaA); Bibb sandy loam, frequently flooded (Bb); and Gilead sandy loam, 8 -15% slopes (GeD). AaA is a moderately well drained soil on low ridges on stream terraces, and is classified as a Class B hydric soil. Bb consists of very deep, poorly drained soils on flood plains along streams, and is classified as a Class A hydric soil. GeD is a moderately well drained soil on side slopes and uplands. 1 3.0 Monitoring Guidelines Martin will install a sufficient number of monitoring gauges within the portion of the wetland system where indirect impacts may occur to document the hydrologic response to the construction of the diversion channel. Martin proposed to install two (2) monitoring gauges on the upstream side of the direct impacts area. This will allow for characterization of hydrologic variations as a result of elevation changes and soil series differences within these areas. Figure 1 depicts the approximate proposed locations for the installation of the monitoring gauges. Martin will also install two (2) monitoring gauges within the portion of the wetland system upstream of the diversion channel in order to provide reference condition hydrologic data. Hydrology in this area is expected to remain unaffected by the construction of the preferred alternative. A rainfall gauge will also be installed on the site to collect precipitation data for the site. Figure 1 depicts the approximate proposed locations for the installation of the reference gauges. Since it is currently known that jurisdictional hydrology is met in these areas, monitoring gauges to be used in all locations will be 20 inches deep. Monitoring gauges and the rain gauge proposed for use are manufactured by Remote Data Systems. These are automatic gauges that will be programmed to collect data at the same time daily. NCWAM evaluations will also be performed in both of the areas identified as having the potential for indirect impacts to occur. These evaluations will be conducted once yearly during the growing season. 4.0 Reporting Gauges will be programmed such that hydrologic data at each monitoring gauge station will be collected daily, with manual downloading of the gauge data undertaken monthly. A monitoring report will be prepared at the end of each year for regulatory agency review. This annual monitoring report will provide groundwater and surface water level data presented in summary tables and graphs, including data for the reference gauges. Each annual monitoring report will also include the results of the NCWAM evaluation. 5.0 Monitoring Duration and Regulatory Determination Monitoring will occur for a period of three years. After three years, the regulatory agencies will review the hydrologic data and conduct site visits to determine the degree that the proposed alternative has affected the monitored portions of the wetland system. At that time, the regulatory agencies may request that Martin continue the monitoring effort for one or more years, expand or decrease the number of gauges or site evaluated by the monitoring effort, or cease the monitoring effort entirely. If it is determined that no additional monitoring is needed, Martin requests that the agencies make a determination as the extent of the indirect impacts on the Stony Fork wetlands. If indirect impacts have been documented as having occurred that are detrimental to the quality of those wetlands, Martin will propose to mitigate for those impacts at a 1:1 ratio by payment to a private mitigation bank. If credits are not available from a private mitigation bank, Martin will make payment to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Mitigation Services In -lieu Fee Program, in accord with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143 - 214.11 and 143- 214.20. 2 GeB ucB :aeE I 1. f :- �\ f l h AsA A 1'� l h AaA - 91i 4 ,r woE W RnF -'N0 6 I = ® Approximate Monitoring Well Locations C NRCS Soil Boundary GeB , Le 0 350 700 Feet r. fill` Martin SourceArnage Features by Martin Marietta . _ 1 /icr Ieftr � and provided Materials.

From: Andrew Brod, consulting economist Date: July 17, 2015 Re: Assessment of alternatives for Benson Quarry 404 Permit Application Addendum In this memorandum, I report a limited economic assessment of the present value costs of alternatives for the expansion of Martin Marietta Materials' Benson Quarry in support of Martin Marietta's 404 Permit Application Addendum. The alternatives are described in the following table: 3.1.1 3.1.2 3.1.3 3.1.4 3.1.5 3.1.6* 3.1.7a 3.1.7b Table A: No Action 2,200,000 Locate a New Quarry NA Remove Waste Pile 8,983,616 Relocate Primary 6,237,600 North Diversion 39,573,504 South Diversion 39,573,504 New Plant 40,083,360 New Pit 24,733,440 *Applicant Preferred 2.75 NA 11.23 7.80 49.47 49.47 50.10 30.92 The number of years of reserves is based on an assumption of 800,000 tons produced per year. The alternatives differ in terms of their "incremental"' raw2 cost profiles, including the timing of costs. For example, Alternative 3.1.5 has up -front mitigation costs of nearly $2.4 million, while Alternative 3.1.7a involves up -front costs of more than $17 million, including $15 million for a new processing plant, as shown in Addendum Appendix K. The cost of removing aggregates is common to all alternatives, so the "incremental" cost of producing aggregates is the cost of removing overburden plus the up -front expenses. ' I am using the term "incremental" cost to describe the costs associated with each Alternative in excess of per -ton production costs, which I understand are common to all Alternatives, as stated in Addendum Appendix K footnote (i). 2 I am using the term "raw" costs to refer to the costs presented in Addendum Appendix K in the rows above the Present Value ( "PV ") cost rows. I calculated the present -value costs as described in this memorandum. 1 This "incremental" cost varies among the alternatives, ranging from 51 cents to $1.39 per ton achieved. The raw costs for all alternatives except Alternative 3.1.2 are summarized in Table B. Table B: Raw Costs of Alternatives 3.1.3 $2,059,472 3.1.4 3.1.5 $2,371,024 3.1.6 $3,571,024 3.1.7a $2,059,472 3.1.7b $2,059,472 *Construction of new primary $822,488 $7,000,000* $211,273 $381,913 $339,476 $15,000,0004 $323,056 $483,042 #Construction of new plant A standard approach to compare costs among project alternatives is to calculate their present values. I undertook these calculations, as well as calculations of the present - value cost per ton achieved. In order to do so, I discounted future costs according to an appropriate cost of capital. For this comparison, I used a discount rate of 7.5 %. This discount rate was used based on my professional judgment as to a reasonable approximation of a general equity cost of capital for companies in the aggregate quarrying sector. However, it is important to note that while altering the discount rate within a reasonable range changes the present -value figures for each alternative, it does not affect the relative rankings of each alternative. Table C below provides the present - value "incremental" costs for each alternative as total costs and cost per ton achieved. Table C: COMDarinLY Alternatives As with the "incremental" raw costs, these "incremental" present -value costs understate the total costs due to the exclusion of production costs, which are common to all alternatives. This presents no problems, however, when the alternatives are compared to one another. W 7 of t. Incremental Cost per Alternative Total Cost Ton 3.1.1 $2,348,080 $1.07 3.1.3 $8,155,581 $0.91 3.1.4 $8,213,441 $1.32 3.1.5 $7,320,801 $0.18 3.1.6 $7,970,799 $0.20 3.1.7a $21,251,903 $0.53 3.1.7b $7,811,441 $0.32 As with the "incremental" raw costs, these "incremental" present -value costs understate the total costs due to the exclusion of production costs, which are common to all alternatives. This presents no problems, however, when the alternatives are compared to one another. W As Table C shows, Alternative 3.1.7a, which involves building a new processing plant, is by far and away the most expensive alternative in terms of present -value "incremental" total cost. The 53 -cent present -value "incremental" cost per ton achieved of Alternative 3.1.7a is 163% more than the 20 cents of the applicant - preferred Alternative 3.1.6. There is a difference of 33 cents per ton between Alternatives 3.1.6 and 3.1.7a. To put that in context, the USGS Annual Minerals Commodities Summary for Crushed Stone (Addendum Appendix Q), reports an average price of crushed stone of $10.15 per metric ton for 2014 (the most recent year for which annual data are available).3 That translates to $9.21 per short ton. The difference of 33 cents per ton is approximately 3.6% of the USGS price figure. 3 Annual Minerals Commodities Summary for Crushed Stone, U.S. Geological Survey (January 2015). httn://minerals.us2s.2ov/ minerals /_pubs /commodity /stone_crushed/mcs- 2015- stonc.Ddf . 3 ANDREW C.

Leading States were, in descending order of production, Texas, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia, which together accounted for more than one -half of the total crushed stone output. Of the total domestic crushed stone produced in 2014, about 69% was limestone and dolomite; 14 %, granite; 7 %, traprock; 5 %, miscellaneous stone; 4 %, sandstone and quartzite; and the remaining 1% was divided, in descending order of tonnage, among marble, volcanic cinder and scoria, slate, shell, and calcareous marl. It is estimated that of the 1.31 billion tons of crushed stone consumed in the United States in 2014, 46% was reported by use, 27% was reported for unspecified uses, and 27% of the total consumed was estimated for nonrespondents to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) canvasses. Of the 600 million tons reported by use, 82% was used as construction material, mostly for road construction and maintenance; 10 %, for cement manufacturing; 2% each, for lime manufacturing and for agricultural uses; and 4 %, for special and miscellaneous uses and products. To provide a more accurate estimate of the consumption patterns for crushed stone, the "unspecified uses — reported and estimated," as defined in the USGS Minerals Yearbook, are not included in the above percentages. The estimated output of crushed stone in the 48 conterminous States shipped for consumption in the first 9 months of 2014 was 955 million tons, an increase of 8% compared with that of the same period of 2013. Third quarter shipments for consumption increased by 9% compared with those of the same period of 2013. Additional production information, by quarter for each State, geographic division, and the United States, is reported in the USGS quarterly Mineral Industry Surveys for Crushed Stone and Construction Sand and Gravel.

Prepared by Jason Christopher Willett [(703) 648 -6473, jwillett @usgs.gov] 151 STONE (CRUSHED) Events, Trends, and Issues: Crushed stone production was about 1.26 billion tons in 2014, an increase of 7% compared with that of 2013. Apparent consumption also increased to about 1.31 billion tons. Demand for crushed stone was higher in 2014 because of increased demand every quarter since the second quarter of 2013, which offset the slowdown in activity that some of the principal construction markets had experienced during the previous years. With this significantly stronger construction activity across the country in 2014, recovery in the private sector and residential construction experiencing a level of growth not seen since late 2005, consumption of construction aggregates is likely to continue to increase. It is expected that the increased consumption in 2014 from that in 2013 will reach or exceed the historical annual average of the past 50 years, which was a 2% to 4% increase per year. The underlying factors that would support a rise in prices of crushed stone are expected to be present in 2014, especially in and near metropolitan areas. World Mine Production and Reserves: Mine 2013 United States 1,180 Other countries' NA World total NA production 2014e 1,260 NA NA Reservers Adequate except where special types are needed or where local shortages exist. World Resources: Stone resources of the world are very large. Supply of high - purity limestone and dolomite suitable for specialty uses is limited in many geographic areas. The largest resources of high - purity limestone and dolomite in the United States are in the central and eastern parts of the country. Substitutes: Crushed stone substitutes for roadbuilding include sand and gravel, and iron and steel slag. Substitutes for crushed stone used as construction aggregates include sand and gravel, iron and steel slag, sintered or expanded clay or shale, and perlite or vermiculite. 'Estimated.
