Executive Summary
Heidelberg Materials Southeast Agg LLC (Heidelberg Materials) is a North Carolina
licensed corporation and subsidiary of Heidelberg Materials. Heidelberg Materials
operates eight (8) aggregate quarries in North Carolina, including the Neverson Quarry
located in Wilson County, NC.
Heidelberg Materials is in the process of expanding their Neverson Quarry. The quarry
expansion will occur in two phases.
The first phase will relocate a portion of Stream Z from its current location to along the
southern most property line. Stream Z is currently a straight trapezoidal channel that was
created in the early 1990's to allow for pit expansion during that time. While verified to be
a jurisdictional, perennial tributary, it was determined to be of low quality and not subject
to the 50' Neuse Buffers as it's not approximately shown on either the USGS or Soil
Survey maps.
The second phase of the expansion project will include the relocation of Stream F along
the western most property line and the removal of wetlands and the majority of the open
water pond to allow for pit expansion to the west. A berm will be constructed within the
upper end of the pond to maintain offsite water levels and to allow for water from Stream
F to flow to Stream Z. Neuse Buffers will be relocated/established along the west side of
the newly relocated Stream F as described in the attached Neuse Buffer relocation plan.
Total impacts proposed for both phases of this expansion project will be 1.403 acres of
permanent wetlands impacts, 0.08 acres of temporary wetlands impacts, 2,040 If of
permanent stream impacts, 112 If of temporary stream impacts, 6.17 ac of permanent
open water (pond) impacts, and 225,758 sf of Neuse Buffers (of which 49,463 sf will be
relocated).
Heidelberg Materials will provide mitigation as described in the attached Mitigation Plan
for all impacts resulting in losses of wetlands, streams, and Neuse Buffers. Mitigation will
be satisfied by purchase of mitigation credits from available private mitigation banks and
the balance from the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). Mitigation credits will be
purchased in phases consistent with the phased impacts.

BLOCK SHEETS

BLOCK 18 — Nature of Activity
Heidelberg Materials is in the process of expanding their Neverson Quarry. The existing
pit will be expanded to the southwest and west, two streams will be relocated along the
property boundaries, an overburden storage pile will be constructed in the southeastern
portion of the property and an associated temporary haul road. The quarry expansion
will occur in two phases.
The first phase will relocate Stream Z along the southern most property line. Stream Z is
currently a straight trapezoidal channel that was created in the early 1990's to allow for
pit expansion during that time. While verified to be a jurisdictional, perennial tributary, it
was determined to be of low quality and not subject to the 50' Neuse Buffers as it's not
approximately shown on either the USGS or Soil Survey maps. This relocation will allow
for the expansion of the existing pit to the south as depicted on the attached plans. A
temporary haul road will be constructed to allow for the construction of the new
overburden storage pile to the southeast.
The second phase of the expansion project will include the relocation of Stream F along
the western most property line and the removal of wetlands and the majority of the open
water pond to allow for pit expansion to the west. A berm will be constructed within the
upper end of the pond to maintain offsite water levels and to allow for water from Stream
F to flow to Stream Z. Neuse Buffers will be relocated/established along the west side of
the newly relocated Stream F as described in the attached Neuse Buffer relocation plan.
Total impacts proposed for both phases of this expansion project will be 1.403 acres of
permanent wetlands impacts, 0.08 acres of temporary wetlands impacts, 2,040 If of
permanent stream impacts, 6.17ac of permanent open water (pond) impacts, and 112 If
of temporary stream impacts, 225,758 sf of Neuse Buffers (of which 49,463 sf will be
relocated).
These impacts are discussed in further detail in Block Sheet 22

BLOCK 19 — Proposed Project Purpose
Heidelberg Materials Southeast Agg LLC (Heidelberg Materials) is a North Carolina
licensed corporation and subsidiary of Heidelberg Materials. Heidelberg Materials
operates eight (8) aggregate quarries in North Carolina, including the Neverson Quarry
located in Wilson County, NC.
The expansion plan addresses all phased (Phases 1 & 2) stream, wetland, open water
and Neuse Buffer impacts under a single Individual Permit Application. If approved, this
permit would allow Heidelberg Materials to continue to provide crushed stone products
for public and private construction projects in the Wilson County and surrounding
market area of North Carolina, as well as to continue to supply the Morehead City
Sales Yard as described in the attached Alternatives Analysis.
Crushed stone, from operations like this, is used to make concrete and asphalt roads,
concrete for homes and office buildings, and is used in a wide variety of erosion control
projects. Aggregate operations are relatively long lived and are vital to the economic
health of communities. About 10 tons of aggregates are required annually for each
North Carolina citizen. A typical residential subdivision requires about 300 tons of
aggregate per home. The single largest market for aggregates is road and street
construction, including base and asphalt paving for highways, parking lots and other
pavements. One mile of typical 2-lane asphalt road with aggregate base requires about
25,000 tons. Other large markets are concrete for bridges, pavements and building
structures, riprap and erosion control stone, and railroad ballast. Approximately 50
percent of all aggregate is used for publicly funded construction project (i.e., highways,
water and sewer systems, public buildings, airports and other county and municipal
public works projects).
Basic Project Purpose:
The basic project purpose is to mine aggregates to meet market demands.
Water Dependency Determination:
The project is not water dependent.
Overall Project Purpose:
The overall project purpose is to provide for the continued operation of the existing
Neverson Quarry by expanding the existing pit to provide mined aggregates to the
surrounding market area as well as the Morehead City Sales Yard.
11

BLOCK 20 — Reasons for Discharge
The reason for the requested discharges to jurisdictional waters is to expand the existing
pit, as detailed in the attached impact exhibits and tables.
Please refer to the attached "Alternatives Analysis" prepared by Heidelberg Materials,
which provides a detailed explanation of the following alternatives;
• Alternative 1 (Off -Site Locations),
• Alternative 2 (On -Site Avoidance -Existing Pit),
• Alternative 3 (Minimization Plan — Eastern Pit Mine Plan),
• Alternative 4 (Minimization Plan — Western Pit Plan (PROPOSED))
These alternatives were reviewed for the four (4) factors deemed necessary to meet the
project purpose and need. These factors include: (1) Reserves — Adequate tonnage for
confirmed market participation; (2) Production Logistics — Established production plant
and related infrastructure; (3) Sales Logistics — Established sales infrastructure; and (4)
Morehead City Sales Yard — Sales Yard would continue to be economical to provide
needed aggregates to the coastal Morehead City market area.
As depicted in the Altneratives Analysis Summary table (attached), only Alternative 4
(Minimization Plan — Western Pit Plan (PROPOSED)) would allow for the expansion of
the existing pit and operations to yield the necessary reserves to continue operations at
the quarry (anticipated to be for approximately the next 42 years based on anticipated
market demands).

BLOCK 23 — Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and
Compensation
The attached alternatives analysis provided by Heidelberg Materials and referenced in
Block 20 of this application provides a detailed description of efforts made both off -site
and on -site to avoid and minimize impacts.
The total jurisdictional WOTUS within the mine property include 4,5561f of streams (not
including stream B which runs along the eastern boundary), 3.97 acres of wetlands, and
9.72 acres of open water. The "Alternative 4 (Western Pit Plan (PROPOSED)" requested
in this application would avoid impacts to 2,5161f of streams and create an additional
3,276 of relocated stream channel for a net gain of 1,236 1f of jurisdictional stream
channel. It will also avoid impacts to 1.513 acres of wetlands and 3.55 acres of open
waters.
Unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters are necessary however for the proposed pit
expansion project. The total permanent impacts requested include 2,040 1f of streams and
1.403 acres of wetlands. Additionally, the application requests impacts to 225,758 sf of
Neuse Buffers.
Impacts were minimized by relocating Stream Z (existing length of 1,438 If, proposed
relocated length of 2,118 If) and Stream F (existing length of 602 1f, proposed relocated
length of 1,158 If) feet of stream channel. These relocations will result in an increase of
1,2361f of stream length. Neuse Buffers totaling 49,463 sf are also being relocated along
the east bank of the relocated Stream F.
Please refer to the attached Mitigation Plan for a detailed description of the proposed
mitigation to compensate for project impacts. To compensate for the permanent impacts
to streams and wetlands, 2,642 feet of stream mitigation credits and 2.806 acres of
wetland mitigation credits are proposed to be purchased for the project. Additionally, to
compensate for loss of Neuse Buffers, the project proposes to purchase 427,834.5 sf of
riparian buffer mitigation credits. All mitigation credits will be purchased first from
private mitigation banks with available credits and any balance will be purchased from
the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). Statement of availability letters have
been provided from EcoTerra (mitigation banker) and DMS for the full amount of
anticipated mitigation.
17

BLOCK 24 — Is Any Portion of the Work Already
Complete?
No. As stated previously, there is an active quarry operation on the property that has
received all required governmental approvals including mining permits, etc. The entire
property is included within the current mining permit. The surface waters proposed for
impacts within this application are located within the current mine permit area. To date
no impacts have occurred to the surface waters proposed to be impacted within this
application.

BLOCK 25 — Addresses of Adjoining Property Owners,
Lessees, Etc., Whose Property Adjoins the Waterbody.
The following table includes the addresses of all property owners to the Neverson Quarry
property. This table corresponds with the associated adjacent properties map included

Explanation: The stream(s).`pond(s) listed above has been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey
of Wilson County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale.
Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a
pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked
"Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify them to be subject to the buffer
rules. There may be other streams located on the property that are not depicted on the maps referenced above and
are therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject
to all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B,
and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected
parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An
appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter. A request for a determination by the
Director shall be referred to the Director in writing. If sending via US Postal Service: c/o Paul Wojoski, DWR
— 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. If sending via delivery
service (UPS, FedEr, etc.): Paul Wojoski, DWR — 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit; S12 N. Salisbury Street;
Raleigh, NC 27604.
This determination is final and binding unless, as detailed above, an appeal is requested within sixty (60)
days.
This project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries should be
directed to the US Army Corp of Engineers (Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at (919)-554-4884.

action under the Reaulatory Proaram Administrative ADDeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 33 1). However. vou mav reauest an
i1pproved JD, which is an i1ppealable action, by contacting the Cop2s district for further instructions.
El There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination (AJD)
E] There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.

Re: THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES REPORT
Neverson Quarry (+/- 302 acres)
7225 Neverson Road, Sims, Wilson County, NC
Mary Ann Hoerle:
On July 13, 2023, Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC) completed a desktop evaluation of
the Neverson Quarry shown on the attached maps for potential endangered species. The property is
located at 7225 Neverson Road in Wilson County, NC. Surface waters on -site flow into Millstone Creek
in the Neuse River Basin, which has been classified in the "Classification and NC DWQ Standards
Applicable to Surface Waters and Wetlands of North Carolina" as C; NSW.
We obtained the attached automatically generated official species list from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service (FWS) and N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NHP) report identifying the protected species on or
within one mile of the project area that could potentially be affected by the project. These FWS & NHP
reports were updated as of the date of this report. The official species list is valid for 90 days.
We conducted preliminary habitat assessments to identify suitable habitat for the individual species
listed on the official species list. The preliminary habitat assessments included assessing the physical
characteristics of the streams, identifying forest types, and looking for evidence of the listed species on -
site. This survey did not include any detailed sampling or netting of aquatic species, nor did it include
any detailed mist netting or acoustic surveys for bat species. The results of the search are discussed
below.
M,

RIESULTS:
The FWS official species list identified the following species for the Evaluation limits:
• Tricolored Bat, (Perlmyods subflavus), Proposed Endangered
• Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus Jewisi), Threatened
• Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus), Endangered
• Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Threatened
• Monarch Butterfly (Danausplexippus), Candidate
Of the species identified on the official species list, the NHP report did not identify any Federally
threatened or endangered species within the project area or within one mile of the project area. Other
State listed species were found within the project area as listed in the attached NHP report. The NHP
report identified two managed areas within the project area or within one mile of the project area.
These are listed out in the attached NHP Report.
TRICOLORIED BAT (Perimyotis subflavus):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of potential suitable habitat for the Tricolored Bat's
within the project area. Relying upon the findings of the December 2021 Species Status Assessment
(SSA) Report for the Tricolored Bat. Suitable habitat exists on -site. However, the majority of the site is
unforested, and any proposed clearing can be completed outside of the summer pup season and limited
to certain areas during the winter months. S&EC believes this project will "Mayaffect, notlikely to
jeopardize the existence of the species" for the TCB's. More details involving tree clearing can be
provided if UFWS wishes to reinitiate consultation on the project.
NEUSE RIVER WATERDOG (Necturus lewisb:
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site for potential suitable habitat for
the Neuse River Waterdog. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the
project area or within one mile of the site. This species is found in the Neuse River and Tar River
basins. The suitable habitat this species is found in is typically medium to large streams and rivers with
a moderate gradient and large bed material. The Neuse River Waterdog also needs riffles, runs, and
pools. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any evidence of the
species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable habitat.
95

Suitable habitat does not exist on -site. The streams on -site are +/-6 feet wide and are located in the
upper portion of the Millstone Creek watershed. This flows into Bloomery Swamp and is
approximately 8 miles upstream from the confluence with Contentnea Creek, which is known critical
habitat for the Neuse River Waterdog. Due to these observations, S&EC believes this project will have
"No effect " on the Neuse River Waterdog.
CAROLINA NLADTOM (Noturus furiosus):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site for potential suitable habitat for
the Carolina Madtom. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project
area or within one mile of the site. This species is found in the Neuse River and Tar River basins. The
suitable habitat this species is found in is also medium to large streams and rivers with a moderate
gradient and large bed material. The Carolina Madtom also needs continuous year-round flow and
cover for nesting habitat. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any
evidence of the species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable
habitat.
Suitable habitat does not exist on -site. The streams on -site are +/-6 feet wide and are located in the
upper portion of the Millstone Creek watershed. This flows into Bloomery Swamp and is
approximately 8 miles upstream from the confluence with Contentnea Creek, which is known critical
habitat for the Carolina Madtom. Due to these observations, S&EC believes this project will have "No
effecf 'on the Carolina Madtom.
ATLANTIC PIGTOE (Fusconaid masoni):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site for potential suitable habitat for
the Atlantic Pigtoe (Note: This did not include a detailed aquatic mussel survey for the presence of
mussels). The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or
within one mile of the site. The suitable habitat for this species consists of medium sized creeks to large
rivers with excellent water quality. This species typically lives in streams with coarse sand and gravel
with moderate to high flowing water. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did
not find any evidence of the species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for
potential suitable habitat.
91-�

Suitable habitat exists on -site. The streams on -site are +/- 6 feet wide and are located in the upper
portion of the Millstone Creek watershed. The property is approximately 20 miles away from known
critical habitat for Atlantic Pigtoe. Given the distance from Critical habitat, as well as the multiple
highway and ponds between the project area and critical habitat, S&EC believes this project will "May
affect, not likely to adversely affecf'the Atlantic Pigtoe. It should also be noted that there is a proposed
stream (Z I) relocation, which was previously relocated years ago and lined with riprap.
MONARCH BUTTERFLY (Danaus PlexiPpus):
The Monarch Butterfly is currently listed as a candidate species, and not yet listed or proposed for
listing as threatened or endangered. Due to the current status of Monarch Butterfly, consultation with
USFWS under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act is not required. FWS recommends conserving
pollinator habitat where practicable.
BALD EAGLE (Haliaeetus leucocephalus):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat, nesting sites, and individual Bald
Eagles within the project area. During our survey, we found no evidence of Bald Eagles or any nesting
sites within the project area. The NHP report did not identify any known nests on -site or within one
mile of the site. Given the lack of species present, we have concluded that the project is " Unlikely to
disturb nesting bald eagles ". We believe no Eagle Act Permit is required.
CONCLUSION:
After completing the habitat assessments and preliminary surveys, S&EC completed the attached
"Species Conclusion Table" and "Self -Certification Letter". Using language typically used by the FWS
in their conclusion letters, we have concluded that it appears the proposedproject is not likely to
adversely affect anyfederally listed endangered or threatened species, theirformally designated
critical habitat, or species currently proposedfor listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
We strongly recommend requesting a concurrence letter from the FWS.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to deten-nine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the EC0S-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
Im

species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/eO-13186.php.

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of
this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit
to our office.

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES
There is a total of 5 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
1PaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

MIGRATORY BIRDS
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act! and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act2.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Trea!y Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.
3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)
MIGRATORY BIRD INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THIS SPECIES LIST WAS GENERATED.
PLEASE CONTACT THE FIELD OFFICE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
MIGRATORY BIRDS FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits
may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does 1PaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my
specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCQ and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN
J. The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
115

of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL) Tool.
What does 1PaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look
at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each
bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated
with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point
within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not
breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Ac requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
116

Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lq!Lng.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

RE: Heidelberg Materials Neverson Quarry-, 13220.W6
Dear Robert Zarzecki:
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buclianan
Deputy DirectDr, Natural Heritage Program
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence-, the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
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 Federal ly-I isted species is found within the project area or is 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:
httr)s://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.
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 Federally -
listed species are 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 rod ney.butler��ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Heidelberg Materials
Alternatives Analysis

Heidelberg
Materials
Alternatives Analysis
Heidelberg Materials would like to continue their business at Neverson Quarry supplying
aggregates to the local market. Additionally, Neverson Quarry is home to the rail siding that
supplies aggregates to the Morehead City Sales Yard and the coastal market. Outlined below
are potential alternatives and their merits.
Alternative 1 (Off -Site Locations)
Owned Active Locations:
The Neverson Quarry aggregate market could be supplied with stone from an alternate
Heidelberg Materials location. This option would avoid all stream and wetland impacts; however,
this option is impractical from a business perspective. The nearest Heidelberg Materials
locations are Rocky Mount Quarry (28 miles away by road) and Princeton Quarry (26 miles by
road). Supplying the Neverson market from this location would put Heidelberg Materials at a
significant competitive disadvantage by adding distance and cost to all hauls.
Additionally, the Morehead City market is currently supplied from a rail siding at Neverson
Quarry. Neither Princeton Quarry nor Rocky Mount Quarry have the rail infrastructure to ship
aggregates to Morehead City via rail. An alternative would be to ship the aggregates by truck
from Rocky Mount Quarry (122 miles) or Princeton Quarry (104 miles). This would not be
economically viable due to the significant cost difference to move material by truck instead of
rail. If the Morehead City Sales Yard could not be supplied by rail, it would very likely be shut
down.
Owned Inactive Location:
The Neverson Quarry Market could also be supplied by one of our idled locations, Elm City
Quarry. This site has been inactive since approximately 1995. The site is currently permitted for
mining; however, the processing plant equipment has been removed and the pit has been
allowed to fill with water. Re -opening this site would require significant financial investment.
Based on current industry rates, a good budgetary number for a new plant and associated
infrastructure would be in excess of $30 million. Furthermore, the distance between Elm City
Quarry and Neverson Quarry is 21 miles by road. The site does have a rail siding which would
allow it to supply Morehead City Sales yard, but supplying the Neverson market from this
location would put Heidelberg Materials at a significant competitive disadvantage by adding
distance and cost to all hauls.
Unowned New Locations:
The Neverson Quarry market could be supplied with aggregate from a newly developed quarry
location. A search was conducted for available property (as of November 13, 2023) in the
general area of the current quarry. The first criteria considered was parcel size and proximity to
126

the existing quarry/market. Only two properties greater than 100 acres were for sale within 10
miles of the current site.
Property A, shown above, is a 284.9-acre parcel listed for $7.1 M located approximately 2.1
miles from the existing quarry. This property is suitably sized and does have road access. As
shown on the map below, the USGS streams layer for the county shows multiple potentially
jurisdictional features throughout the site. Based on this publicly available data, there is at least
6000 LF of potential streams that may need to be impacted to develop the site.
9- &,- 0,
Property B - 9765 Old Lewis School Rd, Middlesex, NC 27557
127

Property B, shown above, is a 11 0.5-acre parcel listed for $1.6M located approximately 5.4
miles from the existing quarry. This property is somewhat small to support a quarry operation,
but it does have road access. This property also shows multiple potentially jurisdictional features
based on the USGS streams layer for the county. Based on this publicly available data, there is
at least 2300 LF of potential streams that may need to be impacted to develop the site.
While both properties reasonably meet the first criteria for quarry development, neither would be
able to continue supplying the Morehead City Sales Yard due to lack of rail access. Additionally,
while these sites do have road access, the roads may need to be upgraded to accommodate
the increased heavy traffic associated with aggregate sales.
There are still many steps and substantial risk in assuming either of these locations could be
developed into an operational mine site. First, these properties would need to be drilled to
determine if there is suitable rock with economical overburden amounts. Assuming the geology
was appropriate, then the land would likely need to be rezoned and a special use permit issued
to allow for mining. After that, various state -level permits would need to be secured, including a
minimum of a Mine Permit, Air Permit, and a NPIDES Stormwater permit. Also, as mentioned
above, both sites are expected to contain jurisdictional features that may require an Individual
Permit for impact.
This is a just an outline of the expected steps required to develop a new quarry and an obstacle
at any one of them could stall the entire project. Furthermore, these development activities are
costly and time consuming. Therefore, due to the significant cost and risk associated developing
a new quarry site, this option is not considered viable.
Alternative 2 (Existing Pit)
Neverson Quarry could also choose to remain within their existing pit footprint. This option
would avoid all stream and wetland impacts, but mine life would be limited significantly. The
existing pit contains approximately 5.0 million tons of reserves. In current market conditions, this
is enough for roughly four more years of mine life. After those reserves are exhausted, the
quarry would close and Heidelberg Materials' participation in the Neverson and Morehead
markets would cease.
Alternative 3 (Eastern Pit Mine Plan)
The Eastern Pit Mine Plan option allows Neverson quarry to expand its mining footprint under
the existing processing plant to open approximately 16.4 million tons of reserves. No streams or
wetlands would be impacted by the pit expansion, but impacts would occur in the relocated
plant site and overburden storage area. The processing plant would be relocated to the west of
the pit and the overburden would be stored on the southeastern property. The expected wetland
impact would be 1.403 acres and stream impact would be 602 linear feet. Based on current
industry rates, a good budgetary number for relocating the plant and associated infrastructure
128

would be in excess of $20 million. This option is considered not viable due to the significant cost
associated with relocating the processing plant relative to the amount of reserves uncovered.
Alternative 4 (Western Pit Plan (PROPOSED))
The Western Pit Mine Plan option allows Neverson quarry to expand its mining footprint
westward to open approximately 46.6 million tons of reserves. The processing plant would
remain in its current location and overburden would be stored on the southeastern property.
This plan is Heidelberg Materials preferred alternative since it would allow open the greatest
number of reserves while avoiding the significant cost associated with relocating the processing
plant. The expected wetland impact would be 1.403 acres and stream impact would be 2,040
linear feet.

Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. S&EC Project Number 13220.D2
Neverson Quarry— Stream F Buffer Relocation Monitoring Plan January 29, 2024
Post -relocation Buffer Monitoring Plan
As required by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources (DWR), Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (S&EC) proposes to monitor the
relocated riparian buffer along the western side of Stream Z on the Neverson Quarry property in
Wilson County, NC, as described below.
Post -relocation buffer monitoring will be qualitative in nature and will include a general visual
assessment of the overall stability of the relocated buffer area, as well as the immediately
adjacent slopes and upland areas. Following the completion of relocation planting activities
S&EC will establish representative photo points throughout the relocated buffer area to
document baseline (post -relocation) conditions. Photo points will document the stabilization
and buffer planting activities at key locations and will allow for visual comparison of the
relocation success between scheduled site monitoring visits. A visual assessment will be made
in the vicinity of select photo points to evaluate the general success of tree and shrub buffer
plantings.
The location of each photo point will be marked in the field with a flagged and number wooden
construction stake, located using handheld GPS, and identified on a site map that will be
provided with each annual monitoring report. The exact location and number of photo points
will be determined by the design engineer during the initial site monitoring visit. During each
subsequent monitoring visit, photos will be taken in approximately the same location and
direction as the baseline monitoring photos to allow for quarter -to -quarter or year-to-year
comparison of site conditions.
The relocated buffer areas will be monitored for a period of up to three (3) years following the
completion of the required buffer relocation activities. Site monitoring visits will be conducted
on a quarterly basis for the first year (March, June, September, December, as appropriate
depending on when planting and stabilization activities are completed), and annually for the
second and third years (September -October timeframe prior to leaf -off). Monitoring reports
will include a brief narrative describing the observed conditions of the relocated buffer areas
during the monitoring year, site photographs and the photo points map, and a summary of any
areas of instability identified during the prior year and what if any repairs were performed, and
an opinion of overall buffer relocation success to date.
Reports will be submitted via email to the USACE and DWR on an annual basis no later than
December 31s' of each monitoring year. At any point during the monitoring period, if site
restoration activities are deemed successful by S&EC, the applicant may request that USACE and
DWR allow for the cessation of monitoring activities.

MITIGATION PLAN

Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 & 401 Application
Heidelberg Materials Southeast Agg LLC - Neverson Quarry Expansion Project
7225 Neverson Road, Sims, Wilson County, NC
MITIGATION PLAN
January 2024
151

1. INTRODUCTION
The applicant proposes compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable adverse impacts
to wetlands, streams and other aquatic resources authorized by Clean Water Act section
404 permit and section 401 water quality certification. This proposed mitigation is
consistent with 40 CFR part 230, Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic
Resources, Final Rule (aka "2008 Mitigation Rule") and will satisfy the national goal of
"no net loss" of wetland acreage and function.
2. METHOD TO PROVIDE COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
The 2008 Mitigation Rule allows for three mechanisms for providing compensatory
mitigation. These include in order of preference as established by the regulations: (1)
mitigation banks, (2) in -lieu fee programs, and (3) permittee-responsible mitigation.
Mitigation banks with available credits do exist within the watershed, but do not have
sufficient credits to cover all the required mitigation for the project. The N.C. Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) in -lieu fee program has sufficient credits to meet all the
required mitigation for the project. As such, permittee-responsible mitigation is not the
preferred option under the regulations to satisfy the required mitigation. The applicant
therefore proposes to purchase mitigation credits from mitigation banks that have
available credits. The applicant proposes to purchase mitigation credits from the DMS in -
lieu fee program to cover the balance of any required mitigation in which the mitigation
banks do not have available credits. Statement of Availability (SOA) letters are attached
for mitigation banks that currently have mitigation credits available and from the DMS in -
lieu fee program.
3. SECTION 404/401 COMPENSATORY MITIGTION
a. MITIGATION PHASING
The applicant proposes to provide the mitigation in two (2) phases as listed in the
tables provided in sections 3.c. and 3.d. below and depicted on the site plans.
The phasing is proposed due to the extended length of time anticipated between
major project elements and associated impacts. Phase 1 will include the
relocation of Stream Z, pit expansion to the southwest, construction of
overburden haul road, and overburden areas 01 and 02. Phase 2 will include the
relocation of Stream F, construction of the new pond berm/dam structure, and pit
expansion to the west. Mitigation payments for Phase 1 will be provided shortly
after permit issuance. Mitigation payments for Phase 2 will be provided prior to
impacts which are anticipated to occur +/- 5 years from permit issuance.
b. MITIGATION RATIOS
The applicant will provide compensatory mitigation for the loss of all jurisdictional
wetlands and streams as listed in the tables provided in sections 3.b. and 3.c
below. The applicant proposes to provide compensatory mitigation at a 2:1 ratio
for the loss of all jurisdictional streams and wetlands except for impacts
associated with the Stream Z relocation. This stream had been previously
relocated during the time of initial pit developed into the straight, riprap lined
152

channel that exists today. As such, the applicant proposes mitigation at a 1:1
ratio of impacts to this modified stream channel.
The applicant does not propose mitigation for temporary stream and wetland
impacts that would not result in a permanent loss (notably those associated with
the temporary haul road). The applicant also does not propose compensatory
mitigation for impacts (temporary or permanent) to jurisdictional open waters
(ponds).

The following mitigation is required by regulations other than CWA Section 404 & 401.
a. NEUSE BUFFERS [15A NCAC 02B.0714]
All Neuse Buffer impacts depicted in the application are covered under the "Mining
activities" use of the rule [1 5A NCAC 02B .0714(l 1)(n)(i) and (ii)]. As such an
Authorization Certificate is required from the N.C. Division of Water Resources for
the proposed impacts per 15A NCAC 02B .0611 (b). Mitigation will be provided as
listed in the table below for all "uses" that are designated as "Allowable with
Mitigation Upon Authorization" [1 5A NCAC 02B .0714(l 1)(n)(ii)] in conformance with
the Mitigation Program Requirements for Protection and Maintenance of Riparian
Buffers rule (aka "Consolidated Mitigation Rule') [1 5A NCAC 02B .0295]. Mitigation
will be provided in the form of payment of a compensatory mitigation fee per 15A
