D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed project has been specifically located to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to the
extent practical within the approved limits of the current Mine Plan (approved by NCDEQ on April 29, 2013 [attatched]). The
project location abutts an active mining operation to share the existing facilities and reduce the need for new infrastructure.
Within the proposed mine expansion area, per the conditions of the Mine Plan, a 200-foot offset buffer will be from Holly
Shelter Road as well as the property adjacent to the proposed expansion making avoidance of the wetland area unfeasible.
Additionally, many of the other areas around the existing mining operation that contain the marine limestone needed for the
proposed project contain substantial floodplain wetlands associated with the Cape Fear River and Island Creek. The proposed
project location was selected due to the minimal wetlands present and in order to avoid significantly disturbing the Cape Fear
River floodplain system.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts to streams and wetlands in the project vicinity will be avoided to the extent practical throughout the construction
process. Construction access and staging will be located entirely in upland areas. Silt fencing will be installed as needed
around the limits of disturbance to retain the excavated and displaced material generated during construction. Stormwater and
sediment control measures (SCM) will be used as needed throughout the construction and mining operation.

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or
® Yes ❑ No
habitat?
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act
❑ Yes ® No
impacts?
❑ Raleigh
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
❑ Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
According to the NC Natural Heritage Program Element Occurrence Database (updated January 2017), there are no
known occurrences of any federally threatened or endangered species within the project area. Atlantic sturgeon, West
Indian manatee and northern long-eared bat (NLEB) have been documented as occurring within 1.0 mile of the site.
Of the federally -listed species known to occur in New Hanover County, suitable habitat is not present within the project
area for Atlantic sturgeon, green sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle,
loggerhead sea turtle, piping plover, red knot, West Indian manatee, or seabeach amaranth due to the lack of open water
habitat and sandy beaches.
Additionally, suitable habitat for Cooley's meadowrue, golden sedge, and rough -leaved loosestrife is not present in the
project area. All these plant species require a sparse canopy, maintained rights-of-way, or periodic disturbance to
outcompete other species. Due to the lack of an open canopy, lack of maintained rights-of-way, a lack of periodic
disturbance, and the presence of a dense shrub layer, the proposed project will have no effect on these species.
Suitable roosting habitat for NLEB is present within the study area. The NLEB requires trees greater than 3" in diameter
for roosting. The USFWS has issued a 4(d) ruling for NLEB that allows incidental take resulting from tree removal
activities unless it results from removing a known occupied maternity roost tree or occurs within 150 feet of a known
occupied maternity roost tree from June 1 through July 31 or results from tree removal activities within 0.25 mile of a
hibernaculum at any time. Based on a review of the NCNHP database occurrences (updated January 2017), there are no
known maternity roost trees or hibernacula within 1.0 mile of the project area. For this reason, the proposed tree removal
for this project is allowable under the USFWS 4(d) ruling.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
® Yes ❑ No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
The project area is located approximately 4,800 feet west of the nearest Essential Fish Habitat (a portion of Island Creek).
Due to the distance from the project area, it is anticipated that no impacts to the Essential Fish Habitat in Island Creek will
result from the construction of this project.
Page 11 of 12
PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version

7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
The North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS Service was accessed February 22, 2017, and no
historic or prehistoric cultural resources were found to occur within 1.0 mile of the project area.
The nearest regulated historical resource is a study list individual entry named The Oaks. The Oaks is appears to be a 2-
story farm and farm house located in Pender County, across the Cape Fear River, approximately 4.2 miles west of the
project area.
The nearest National Register individual listing is named Poplar Grove. Poplar Grove is a 2-story 1850 Greek Revival
frame house located in Pender County approximately 4.6 miles southeast of the site.
Due to the distance to known historic sites, no effect is anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?
❑ Yes ® No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements: n/a
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? The FEMA FIRM Panel 3720325200K (effective
February 16, 2007) was viewed on February 22, 2017 and no FEMA-designated floodplains or floodways were found to
occur within the project area.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to accept
payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as indicated in the
table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -lieu fee mitigation
program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility
of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will be approved. You must
also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with
the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 CertificationlCAMA permit within this time frame, this
acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS
receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and
payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an
applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the impact
amounts shown below.
Upon receipt of payment, DMS will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. The mitigation
will be performed in accordance with the In -Lieu Fee Program instrument dated July 28, 2010 and 15A NCAC
