The Rocky Point Quarry 401 Water Quality Certification (DWR Project #2003-1023, Certification #3452)
was issued on March 15, 2004, and subsequently revised in response to modification requests dated
May 14, 2004, May 20, 2004, March 14, 2013 and August 11, 2014.
With respect to the modification request from Martin Marietta, dated March 8, 2018, the Division
understands that monitoring south of the quarry resumed on March 1, 2018. Therefore, it is agreed by
copy of this letter that 401 Water Quality Certification #3452, dated March 15, 2004 and modified on
May 14, 2004, May 20, 2004, March 14, 2013 and August 11, 2014, is modified to allow for mining
activities to resume. All certification conditions remain unchanged and are in effect. The Division
looks forward to reviewing the Wetland Monitoring and Pumping Plan Report as required by condition 7
of the 401 Water Quality Certification #3452.
If you have any questions, contact Robb Mairs in the DWR Wilmington Regional Office at 910.796.7303
or me at 919.807.6360.
