Subject: Nationwide 14, 23, & 33 Permit and 401 Water Quality Certification for the extension of
existing rail siding along the CSX SF-line from west of the SR 1008 (Indian Trail Road)
crossing to east of the SR 1378 (Hayes Road) crossing in the Town of Indian Trail, Union
County, North Carolina, TIP No. P-5704
Percussive Activity Description
Grading construction activities commonly use track hoe mounted jackhammer to break up rock
encountered when blasting activities are not permitted or feasible. That is likely to be the case with the
Stouts Siding project due to the proximity of the construction to the existing mainline. If hard rock is
encountered, this type of inechanized activity would likely be utilized. If the rock is more weathered, it
would be broken up by being ripped rather than jackhammered.
