Standridge 2407 W. 5"' Street Washington, NC 27889 * Submitted electronically via email. From: Bob Zarzecki Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (S&EC) Wetlands Department Manager On behalf of Heidelberg -Materials SE Agg LLC (Applicant) Re: Responses/Additional Information DWR Request for Additional Information 04-22-2024 Dear Ms. Goss & Homewood: On April 23, 2024, we received your letter dated April 22, 2024 requesting additional information to complete your review of the application submitted on March 12, 2024. Please find below and attached the additional information that you requested. DWR Comment 1: If the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requests a response to any comments received as a result of the Public Notice, please provide the Division with a copy of your response to the USACE. Response: Per your request we will provide DWR with a copy of our response(s) to the USACE for any comments received as a result of the Public Notice. We understand from the USACE that only one comment was received from the public and that they are currently finalizing their review of the application and anticipate submitting the public comment along with any request for additional information that they require to complete their review to us within the next week or so. Page 1 of 2 • DWR Comment 2: The table of Neuse Buffer Impacts provided on Page 15 and 16 of the application shows no mitigation amounts required under the column "Required Mitigation': Please correct this information for our records. Response: Please find attached an updated "Block 22 — Impacts (acres)" table. The table was revised to remove all reference to mitigation as this is identified within the Mitigation Plan. The Neuse Buffer section of this table was also updated to remove the "Existing Pond Overlap 01 " and "Existing Pond Overlap 02" areas as these areas were mistakenly included and will not be impacted. The Neuse Buffer section of this table was also updated to remove the "Stream F" area as this was mistakenly included and is not an impact, but rather the relocated "Proposed Riparian Buffer". In reviewing the documents to make the requested changes to the impact table, we discovered an error in the Neuse Buffer impacts provided on the Phase 2 sheets of the Impact Maps. These have been corrected in the attached Impact Maps. Please replace the previously provided Impact Maps with these attached updated "2024.05.07 — Neverson Mine Impacts". The only change is to the Phase 2 `Existing Pond/Stream "F" Riparian Buffer Impact Areas'. Finally, the Mitigation Plan was updated to reflect the changes to the impacts discussed above. Please replace the previously provided Mitigation Plan with the attached "HMNeverson Mitigation Plan _ (Updated May 2024)". The only change to the Mitigation Plan was a reduction in the required Neuse Buffer mitigation resulting from the corrected buffer impacts. In response to DWR Comments 3, 4 & 5, additional information is provided in the attached "Response to Comments, Preliminary Drawings for the Heidelberg Materials Neverson Quarry, Stream F Buffer Relocation Plan, Wilson, North Carolina, May 8, 2024" document and updated plans. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require additional information to complete your review of the application.

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 Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 & 401 Application — MITIGATION PLAN Updated May 2024 Heidelberg Materials Southeast Agg LLC — Neverson Quarry Expansion Project Page 2 of 4 Sims, Wilson County, NC 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). c. PHASE 1 — Mitigation Table .. MOT111111111,TA nt .. .

ADDITIONAL REQUIRED MITIGATION 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 [15A NCAC 02B .0714(11)(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" [15A NCAC 02B .0714(11)(n)(ii)] in conformance with the Mitigation Program Requirements for Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Buffers rule (aka "Consolidated Mitigation Rule') [15A NCAC 02B .0295]. Mitigation will be provided in the form of payment of a compensatory mitigation fee per 15A NCAC 02B .0295(h)(2).

The cross section shown on the Proposed Conditions (Stream F) Sheet 3 of 5 indicates that the designed slopes will be 2HAV. Please clarify. S&EC Response: Our intent is to utilize erosion control matting on any areas with slopes steeper than 3H:1V, including graded slopes (vertically above the riprap channel lining) on both sides of the relocated channel. Erosion control matting may also be utilized on other areas in the vicinity of the relocated stream which, in the opinion of the engineer, may be subject to concentrated flow and/or otherwise subject to erosion. DWR Comment 4 - Please revise the buffer relocation plan to clearly indicate that any erosion control matting used within the riparian buffer will be biodegradable and will not include nylon mesh. S&EC Response: Per your comment, we have revised our Buffer Stabilization & Seeding Specifications drawing sheet to specify the use of fully biodegradable erosion control matting (no nylon mesh) and wooden eco-stakes in -lieu of metal staples. We have also modified Item 4 of the Construction Sequence drawings sheet. Attached please find a revised Sheets 2 and 5 from our Preliminary Construction Drawings. DWR Comment S - The Post -relocation Buffer Monitoring Plan appears to incorrectly refer to Stream Z. Please modify the buffer monitoring plan to include visual monitoring to occur twice annually during year 2 and 3. S&EC Response: We have corrected the reference to Stream F in the Post -relocation Buffer Monitoring Plan. Per your request we have modified the Post -relocation Buffer Monitoring Plan to include bi-annual monitoring visits (March and September) in the second and third monitoring years. Attached please find a revised copy of our Post -relocation Buffer Monitoring Plan. NOTE: Attached please find an updated copy of our Preliminary Drawings for the Stream F Buffer Relocation Plan which includes revised versions of Sheets 2 and 5, as described above. Please note that changes have been made to the Revisions block (located in the bottom right corner of each plan sheet) indicating that changes have been made to that sheet. For the convenience of the reviewer changes on these sheets have been "bubbled" in red for ease of review.

S&EC Project Number 13220.D2 Neverson Quarry — Stream F Buffer Relocation Monitoring Plan May 8, 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 F 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 bi-annually for the second and third years (March and September). 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.
