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]: 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.

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
Updated May 2024
Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 & 401 Application — MITIGATION PLAN Updated May 2024
Heidelberg Materials Southeast Agg LLC — Neverson Quarry Expansion Project Page 1 of 4
Sims, Wilson County, NC

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
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).

4. 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).

RESPONSES TO DWR COMMENTS
(Comments received from Stephanie Goss of NCDEQ-DWR via letter dated 04-22-2024)
S&EC Project No. 13220
May 8, 2024
DWR Comment 3 - The construction sequence for the relocated buffer indicates that matting will be
utilized on slopes exceed 3HAV. 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 5 - 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.

Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. S&EC Project Number 13220.D2
Neverson Quarry —Stream F Buffer Relocation Monitoring Plan May8, 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 31st 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.
