As with previous scope of services documents presented to you, it is based on the Master Services Agreement currently in place. The fee estimate is based on the approved rate schedule and a range of fees for budgeting purposes. As with previous task authorizations, including the DRAINMOD modeling task assignment authorized for this project, we will make every attempt to conduct the work in a cost effective manner while still meeting your expressed deadlines. As discussed recently, the attached assumed that Kimley-Horn staff would complete construction observation services and record well installation data during the installation. The fee estimate will be reduced if Martin Marietta staff conduct these activities. We understand that Martin Marietta will contact and contract with well driller, hydroaxe, grader/excavator and land surveyor directly for the needed support services. Should you need assistance locating one of these contractors or require information from us needed to get fee estimates from these contractors, do not hesitate to contact us. In addition, the scope assumes data collection through to the NCDENR expressed deadline of July 16, 2002. We anticipate that additional monitoring will be required beyond that date and that a separate scope of services will be developed for that effort once NCDENR has agreed to the initial results. The team is ready and available to initiate the installation and data collection of the wells. We are currently checking with suppliers on availability of peizometers and shallow wells. At times there is a back order for these materials (especially with the continuous recorders). ¦ P,O. Box 33068 Raleigh, North Carolina 27636-3068 ¦ TEL 919 677 2000 FAX 919 677 2050 ? ? ?

Subject: Mine Dewatering, Surface and Ground Water Monitoring Plan NOTE: VERSION 2 is an amendment of the May 9, 2002 version per comments received from NCDENR-DWQ and supercedes the previous version. 1.0 Introduction Martin Marietta Aggregates (MMA) operates a limestone aggregate quarry in Rocky Point, North Carolina. MMA, in cooperation with and in response to a request from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality (DWQ), will document its dewatering and monitoring program to provide information on the present and future permitted mine operations. The requested modifications from DWQ wee initially detailed in a letter from Mr. Rick Shiver, DWQ to Mr. Robert Winchester, MMA, dated March 5, 2002, and further clarified on April, 16, 2002 in a meeting with DWQ/MMA staff. This document has been prepared to address the issues requested in the March 5 letter, and as clarified during the April 16 meeting. In addition, this document has incorporated clarifications and additional information discussed in several correspondences and communications with NCDENR-DWQ. These include: • May 9 letter from MMA to DWQ • May 24 teleconference between Kimley-Horn and DWQ • June 10 letter from DWQ to Kimley-Horn • June I I letter from Kimley-Horn to DWQ • June 18 meeting between Kimley-Horn/MMA and DWQ • June 24 memorandum from Kimley-Horn to MMM and DWQ. H:VW11185010Tma GW_MonitoriM_Planl doc 1 of 10 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry 2.0 Background 2.1 Site Setting The Rocky Point quarry has operated in its present location since 1984. Figure 1 provides a general location map of the quarry and Figure 2 presents an aerial photograph of the quarry as of February 2002. The quarry produces approximately 4,000 tons per day of product from the Eocene age Castle Hayne limestone, a semi-consolidated sandy limestone ranging in thickness in the quarry area from 5 to 18 feet. The product zone is overlain by sands and clayey sands ranging in thickness from 20 to 30 feet. Below the producing zone is a thin confining unit that separates the Castle Hayne limestone from the underlying Peedee aquifer. The confining unit is composed of clay, silty clay and sandy clay ranging in thickness from, on average, 25 to 35 feet. The Northeast Cape Fear River is located to the east and south of the quarry area, a distance of approximately 1.5 to 2 miles from the active boundary of the quarry. The topography of the area is generally of low relief, ranging from 25 ft. above mean sea level (MSL) on the western side of the quarry to a low of 5 ft. MSL near the Northeast Cape Fear River. The areas east and south of the quarry are generally poorly drained soils and well-drained sandy ridges. There are some wetland areas and/or drainage swales that are all part of the Northeast Cape Fear River floodplain area or tributaries to the Northeast Cape Fear River. 2.2 Local Hydrogeology Water table elevations in the area occur from ground surface in the wetland areas near the Northeast Cape Fear River to 3 to 10 feet below ground surface in the upland areas as reported in MMA ground water monitoring well records. The hydraulic connection between the near-surface water table, water levels within the overburden and water levels within the limestone is somewhat variable. From a regional perspective and over seasonal time scales, these three zones respond to ground water changes predominantly as a single hydrogeologic unit. However, their properties are sufficiently different that in the short term, and in local areas, strong vertical gradients can develop and the units can respond quite differently to changes in ground water pressures. H.\PN\011185010\Pinal_GW_Monbring-Plan I doc 2 of 11 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry Trexler, B. D., (1974) provides a good description of the hydraulic properties of the Castle Hayne formation and Giese, G. L., J. L. Eimers and R. W. Coble (1997)2 provide a regional discussion of the major water-bearing units of the North Carolina Coastal Plain which includes the Rocky Point Quarry area. 3.0 Purpose of the Dewatering, Surface and Ground Water Monitoring Plan Operation of the quarry requires dewatering of the overburden and the Castle Hayne Limestone. This generally results in depression of the water table within the quarry area to an elevation of 2 to 5 ft. above the floor pit (which is approximately 15 to 25 feet below MSL). The cone of depression created by dewatering extends outside of the active mining front. DWQ, in their letter of March 5, 2002 regarding compliance with NDPES permit conditions and potential impacts on nearby wetlands, requested the following (paraphrased): ¦ Develop alternative site specific pumping and monitoring plans. The pumping plans should consider ways to minimize the impacts of dewatering. The monitoring plans must depict the cone of depression associated with the mining and future mine expansion. ¦ Install monitoring wells along a transect or in several directions from the dewatering location to detect the effects of pumping. ¦ Consider the utility of alternative methods of hydrating areas effected by pumping, such as spray irrigation or other alternatives. Pursuant to the April 16 meeting, MMA agreed to, among other tasks, prepare a ground water monitoring and pumping plan that would include the above as goals and specifically include: ¦ Target monitoring well locations, ¦ Develop frequency, goals, and methods for monitoring, and ¦ Identify reporting format and frequency.

HAPN\011185010\Final_GW_MonOoring_Planl.doc 3 of 11 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry This Technical Memorandum presents a ground water monitoring and pumping program, target well locations, and monitoring frequency to provide information on the shallow and intermediate ground water levels outside the active mine area. The monitoring program, presented herein, assumes mine operations will continue to mine in the currently permitted upland areas (Tract FI and F2) and anticipates potential data needs for potential expansion to the east and south, but this future expansion will be dictated by the mine reserves and economics as well as permitting. If the mine operations plan is modified, the pumping and monitoring plan will also be modified to achieve the above goals. The specific goals of the monitoring program are: 1. Monitor shallow and intermediate ground water levels outside of the mine area to provide background information on current water table elevations prior to any future mine expansion outside of the currently permitted area. 2. Monitoring the extent of the cone of depression created by mine dewatering. 3. Monitor water levels outside of the proposed perimeter recharge ditch(es) to monitor and manage recharge to the shallow ground water system and to monitor the efficiency of impact minimization for areas outside of the mine area. 4. Monitor shallow ground water levels near areas suspected to be wetlands. 5. Manage pumping, discharge points and recharge ditches to minimize impacts from mine dewatering. 6. Monitor hydrological affects of pumping. 3.1 Pumping and Dewatering Plan Present Dewatering Methods and Operations: Dewatering for the present mine operations is accomplished by float-controlled pumps set in two sumps located near the eastern perimeter and southern perimeter, inside the mined-out area (Figure 3). Trenches along the base of the mining face direct seepage toward the sumps and maintain a relatively dry working environment for the mining equipment. Currently, the pumps are activated based on level-controlled floats, and estimates of total pumpage are made from the pump capacity and hours of operation. H1PN\011185010\Final_GW_Monitoring_Plant.doc 4 of 11 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry Total pumpage is estimated to vary from 3 to 5 million gallons per day (mgd). The eastern sump is scheduled to be moved farther south and east (or alternatively a third sump is to be added in this location) to better control the ground water levels in areas G1 and G2 (Figure 3) and discharges to Strawberry Branch and the unnamed tributary to Strawberry Branch. Discharge from the east sump currently is to Strawberry Branch (east of the mine). The southern sump is positioned to dewater areas F1 and F2 and to provide water for product washing. Pumping and Dewatering Plan: The goals of the proposed pumping and dewatering plan are: 1. Dewater the mine face sufficiently to allow the equipment to operate efficiently and safely. 2. Minimize the amount of water necessary to be pumped consistent with goal Number L 3. Limit the spread of the cone of depression from dewatering activities to the planned mining area using recharge ditches and discharge management. 4. Use discharge points to minimize hydrologic impact to adjacent streams and/or wetlands from dewatering activities and to promote natural hydroperiod and hydrologic fluctuation in those areas. Methodology: Figure 3 illustrates the existing dewatering sumps and the proposed new east sump location. It is proposed that the current pumping regime (location of pumps, location of discharges) continue through the initial phase of the monitoring. MMA is proposing a new pumping plan with a discharge to the original discharge location and monitoring the effects of the relocation. By phasing the pumping plan during the initial monitoring plan, collection of baseline data can be initiated immediately while the appropriate measures to implement the proposed pumping plan can be undertaken (relocation/installation of pump, maintenance of existing ditches, construction of new recharge ditches and potentially installation of water control and dissipation structures). For the proposed pumping plan, the new east sump will be located to the south (of the present sump location) to better focus dewatering activities in the G1 and G2 areas. Discharge from the new east sump will be directed into the unnamed tributary to Strawberry Branch (also referenced as recharge ditch in the text) that forms the northern border for area G2. This recharge ditch will confine the dewatering cone of depression to the areas south of the ditch and isolate the Strawberry Branch area from the dewatering activities. Surface water discharges from the two H MM 1185010\Final_GW_Mon4oring_Planl.doc 50111 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry eastern sumps will be directed into the unnamed tributary to Strawberry Branch and Strawberry Branch to support and maintain their respective hydroperiod to the extent practicable during mining activities. The south sump provides dewatering of the F1 and F2 areas, and provides some overlap with the new east sump area of influence in the boundary area between areas F and G. Ground water derived from the south sump will continue to be directed to its current discharge locations but in the future (pending initial data collection) may be directed into a perimeter recharge ditch that parallels the western and southern boundary of area Fl, and then directed northward to be discharged into the unnamed tributary to Strawberry Branch or directed southward to maintain hydrology and/or base flow to adjacent areas. Figure 3 provides the planned location of the sumps and recharge ditches. The results of the initial monitoring plan will be evaluated to determine appropriate recharge ditch cross section and any potential amendments needed to the proposed pumping plan. Implementation of the Plan: The following specific actions will be implemented to initiate the pumping and dewatering plan: 1. The east sump will be relocated (or a third sump will be installed) to the new, more southerly location. 2. The discharge point for the new east sump will be directed into the existing/historical recharge ditch (unnamed tributary to Strawberry Branch) as shown in Figure 3. 3. 4. The pumping volume will be accurately recorded for the old and new east sump as well as the existing south sump (pumping volumes measurements will be taken by one of several methods to better document actual pumping volumes - pumping volumes will not be based on manufacturer specifications for capacity but rather field measurements). 5. A rain gage will be used to provide on-site precipitation data (precipitation data will be collected per National Weather Service guidelines). 6. If the discharge point for the south sump needs to be modified to direct excess water not needed for product washing into the unnamed tributary to Strawberry Branch via a ditch along the western and southern border of area F, the ditch will be inspected to determine if unobstructed flow can occur along the entire planned pathway to the unnamed tributary, or if HAPN\011105010\Final_GW_Mon?oring_,Planl.doc 6 of 11 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry control structures on side culverts are necessary to maintain head levels and flow within the ditch. 7. Records of quantities pumped from each sump will be maintained on a daily basis on site for later consolidation and presentation in an annual report format. 3.2 Surface and Ground Water Monitoring Plan The goal of the surface and ground water monitoring plan is to gather sufficient information to identify the area of influence of the dewatering activities and to provide information for management of the dewatering and recharge activities so as to minimize adverse impacts from dewatering outside of the mine area. Methodology: In order to accomplish the above stated goal of the monitoring program, a series of ground water monitoring wells and monitoring well nests will be installed. Figure 4 illustrates the three types of wells planned. These are: 1. Shallow wells, generally less than 10 feet deep, designed to monitor shallow ground water levels in suspected wetland areas to document hydrodynamics for these systems. 2. Overburden wells, generally installed to a depth between 10 feet and 20 feet from ground surface. These wells are designed to monitor the local ground water table surrounding the mine area, monitor the expansion of the cone of depression from the pit dewatering and to provide information on the efficiency of the perimeter recharge ditch. 3. Limestone wells, installed into the limerock unit being mined to provide vertical flow information, when used in conjunction with the overburden wells, monitor the extent of expansion of the cone of depression from the dewatering activities, and provide information on the hydraulic head relationship between the overburden and limestone units. Scheduling of installation of the monitoring network will be determined in conjunction with mine operators and DWQ regulatory personnel to meet the necessary terms for permit compliance and sound environmental management. Figure 5 illustrates the planned location for the monitoring wells and Table 1 provides the planned monitoring well designation, monitoring frequency and construction details. H1PN\0111a5010\Final_GW_Mon0oring_Planl.doc 7 of 11 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry Wells will be installed following North Carolina Well Construction Standards. Well data will be collected in accordance with established United States Geological Survey practices. Shallow aquifer monitoring locations are proposed in areas G1, G2, H1, and H2 as well as in two locations along Strawberry Branch (Figure 5). Each shallow aquifer monitoring location will consist of a free-water surface monitoring well to monitor for wetland hydrology, and a "nest" of 3 to 4 piezometers (depending on soil stratigraphy) to assess soil water movement and vertical/horizontal flow gradients in the areas of suspected wetlands. The objectives of the monitoring nests are to 1) document the presence, or lack thereof, of the water table near the surface sufficient to meet wetland hydrology criteria, and 2) correlate groundwater flow with the deeper aquifer monitoring wells to demonstrate the relationship (if any) with the deeper groundwater systems in these geomorphic features. A sketch of the monitoring well and piezometer "nest" is shown as an inset in Figure 4. All monitoring wells will be installed using appropriate methodology to meet applicable regulatory requirements for hydrologic monitoring purposes. All wells installed will be surveyed and tied to permanent benchmarks. The data from the monitoring well and piezometers will be collected daily and on a limited basis by continuous recorder dataloggers attached to each well/piezometer. The units will be programmed such that readings will be collected daily. The dataloggers will be downloaded on a monthly basis, at a minimum, to inspect proper function of the monitoring equipment. The shallow monitoring locations were identified through a field evaluation meeting with the US Army Corps of Engineers (COE) staff (Mickey Sugg) held on April 30, 2002. The areas visited during that meeting identified by the COE as suspected wetland areas are those included for shallow aquifer monitoring on parcels G1, G2, H1, and H2. Shallow monitoring locations were also included along the wetlands associated with Strawberry Branch. A jurisdictional determination (JD) as to the extent of wetland areas was not performed at thetime of the site visit with the COE, so monitoring locations were determined as the closest approximation to location as discussed in the field. These locations were also based on site topography. Site topography data (collected in 2002) is illustrated on Figure 6. Additional information regarding the influence of drainage ditches on suspected wetland areas and the extent of hydric/non-hydric soils is required by the COE to determine wetland boundaries. Wetland delineation efforts are on-going and may supplement the proposed plan (contained here) as necessary. H1PN`011185010\Final_GW_Monitoring_Planl.doc 8 of 11 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry In addition, all well locations were located based on Martin Marietta Materials ownership of property or rights to access to lands for such purposes. Property ownership around the existing pit is shown on Figure 7. All well locations are located on lands owned by MMM or on lands in which mineral rights have been obtained. The overburden and limestone wells will be located in two transects of 3 well nests each, oriented east and south of the F and G areas. Each well nest location will include a well screened in the overburden and a well screened in the limestone unit. This configuration will provide both horizontal and vertical definition of hydraulic gradients, and in combination with the information on unit hydraulic conductivities, will provide quantitative information on ground water flow rates. Each of the overburden and limestone monitoring wells will be measured daily. A limited number of shallow water table wells will also be instrumented with continuous recorders but, because of the number of monitoring locations, and the number of peizometers, manual monitoring on a monthly basis may be performed to supplement water table well data with the piezometer data. The physical location of the wells will be dictated by the planned mine expansion. At this time, it is anticipated that mining operation will continue in Fl and is intended (pending approvals) to expand into areas GI and G2. Based on this planned development, the two transects of overburden and limestone wells and the shallow wells should provide sufficient information to closely evaluate the impacts of mine dewatering. This proposed plan may be modified, however, if the mine expansion plans are modified or if analysis of the ground water data indicate that changes are necessary in the monitoring program. 4.0 Summary The above dewatering, surface and ground water monitoring program will provide information on dewatering activities, impacts and ground water table elevations near sensitive suspect wetland systems, provide information on the regional ground water table, monitor the impacts of mine dewatering on the overburden and limestone geologic units surrounding the mine and provide a method of managing the perimeter recharge ditches to minimize the expansion of the cone of H1PN\011185010\Final_GW_Monbring-Plan 1.doc 9 of 11 May 9, 2002 Martin Marietta Aggregates Rocky Point Quarry depression in the water table aquifer from mine dewatering activities. The program includes two transects of overburden wells and limestone wells and areally distributed shallow wells based on suspect wetland locations adjacent to the existing operation which are also within the planned mine expansion program. The location and timing of well installation may be modified based on mine operations and permit compliance needs. The results of the monitoring plan will be used to assess the proposed pumping plan and to develop amendments to the plan, if necessary.
