(36.13006°N, 79.37084°W). The project site . contains stream channels and adjacent wetlands that form the headwaters of a first order tributary that flows into Boyd's Creek at the southern boundary of the property. ~ Boyd's Creek is a tributary to the Haw River, which flows into the Cape Fear River, a - navigable waterway and a tributary to the Atlantic Ocean. Figure 1 (Vicinity Map) - and Figure 2 (USGS Topographic Map) show the project location. • 1.2 Existing Site Conditions ~ The Martin Marietta Materials (MMM) East Alamance Quarry property is 610 acres ~ in size. The proposed mine expansion tract (project site) is approximately 73 acres in - size. The area proposed for construction of the perimeter berm and expanded pit ~ within the expansion tract is approximately 34 acres. The area proposed for expansion is included in the approved NC Division of Land Resources Mine Plan for ~ the quarry. Figure 3 shows the perimeter for the expansion tract and the limits of the - mine pit. n u ~ The project site is primarily made up of forested land adjacent to the active mine pit, - perimeter berm and overburden stockpile areas. A power line crosses east-west . through the expansion tract and there are areas of cleared agricultural fields and pasture within the permitted expansion tract. ~ 1.2.1 Land Use ~ Land located adjacent to the proposed mine expansion is primarily agricultural - with few residences along NC 49 and Sandy Cross Road. There maybe future development within the local community, but this is likely to occur ~ south of the project area along the US 70 and Interstate 40/85 corridors south ~ of the project location. It is anticipated that the quarry expansion will help . meet the growing demand for materials as development in the area expands; - however, it is not anticipated mine expansion will change land uses adjacent to the site. The current pit is approximately 50 acres in area and ~ approximately 130 feet deep. The current permitted discharge location is ~ north of the pit into an UT to Boyd's Creek. ^ ~ ^ KimleyHorn ~ and Associates, Inc, 1.2.2 Topography Topographically, the proposed site is located at the upper end of the UT to Boyd's Creek (Stream A) watershed that is approximately bounded to the north by Sandy Cross Road (See Figure 2). Approximately 49 acres drain to the property boundary onto the project area just down slope from an agricultural and irrigation pond. The remainder of the Stream A watershed is within the project boundary. Boyd's Creek is oriented north-south through the existing mine area west of the expansion tract. West of Stream A is a ridgeline separating the Stream A watershed from the Stream B watershed draining to the southeast portion of the site. Along this ridgeline are an old farm road and the overburden storage area. The Stream B watershed includes first-order intermittent streams (Streams C and D). There are small headwater riparian wetlands associated with Stream A and Stream C within the expansion tract. Wetland A is a headwater wetland area caused by the upslope pond on the adjacent property. The outflow, spillway, and seepage from the pond, along with the constructed fence line along the property boundary has caused diffused flow that eventually concentrates into asingle- thread stream channel once on the site. Wetland B is associated with the headwater area of Stream C and was likely caused from the construction and disturbance associated with the construction of the power line. Figure 3 shows these areas on an aerial photograph. A signed jurisdictional determination survey plat is attached as Appendix A. 1.2.3 Streams and Wetlands Figure 3 shows the delineated jurisdictional areas evaluated byKimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) staff and reviewed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) within the expansion tract boundary. Stream A originates from Wetland 1, near the northern boundary of the subject property and flows southeast to Boyd's Creek located along the southeastern boundary of the subject property. Stream A is culverted in two locations for distances of 437 and 104 feet. The total length of Stream A within the subject property is approximately 2,9461inear feet not including culverted sections. Stream B is located in the southwestern corner of the subject property. Stream B enters the eastern boundary of the subject property south of the transmission line, flows southeast and exits the southern boundary of the subject property near the southwestern corner. The total length of Stream B within the subject property is approximately 1,7461inear feet. Stream C originates from Wetland 2, within the subject property, immediately south of the transmission line. Stream C flows southwest and exits the subject property, eventually flowing into Stream B prior to Stream B entering the subject property. The total length of Stream C within the subject property is approximately 457 linear feet. Stream D originates south of the transmission line, in the western portion of the subject property. Stream D flows southwest into Stream B, near the western boundary of the subject property. The total length of Stream D within the subject property is approximately 6941inear feet. ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ antl Associates, Inc. ~ Streams A, C, and D are intermittent streams. Stream B and Boyd's Creek are - perennial streams. The hydrology of Boyd's Creek and Stream B originate from surface and groundwater flow from much larger watersheds beyond the ~ property limits. Streams C and D originate as headwater streams within the ~ property and Stream A originates on the adjacent farm property at the pond - just off-site from the boundary. Streams A, C, and D are relatively small, ~ measuring approximately 3 to 4 feet in width in most places. They are relatively stable with bedrock grade control and exhibit characteristics ~ consistent with good quality streams located in the region, including well- defined bed and bank characteristics, meanders, undercut banks, reduced soils, • etc. - Stream A is approximately 3,000 linear feet in length through the expansion - tract, with 2,1171inear feet located north of the power line within the future pit area. Of the portion of intermittent stream within the future pit area, 887 ~ linear feet is considered "Important", supporting aquatic function. The upper ~ portion of Stream A, where much of the stream impact will occur, was . determined to be "Unimportant" as it was lacking in aquatic function (habitat ~ and hydrology). This section of stream has comparatively less habitat, and more importantly, lacks the flow necessary to support more than minimal ~ aquatic life. The site was reviewed by the USAGE on August 24, 2005 and - again on December 1, 2005 to evaluate site hydrology under different climatic - conditions. The determinations were confirmed also by NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) staff (Daryll Lamb) during an on-site field review on ~ February 9, 2006. Appendix 1 contains a survey of the jurisdictional areas ~ and determinations, and Appendix 2 contains a memorandum documenting • the December 1, 2005 field review meeting, as well as site figures and data forms. - Boyd's Creek is located adjacent to the active mine area and is a larger ~ perennial stream system. The stream is relatively stable with bedrock control and has a wooded riparian buffer through the Martin Marietta Property. There ~ are two existing road crossings for Boyd's Creek within the property used for - mining operations. ~ Wetland A (0.44 acres) functions as a headwater riparian wetland as it is - located in the upper portion of a watershed up slope from an intermittent • stream system. Since Wetland A is also just down slope from the adjacent impoundment, it also functions similarly to a hillside seep wetland dominated ~ by groundwater discharge. Both wetland types are common wetlands of the ~ North Carolina piedmont, and have few unique or exceptional qualities. The - primary function of Wetland A is terrestrial habitat. Treatment of nutrients ~ 3 ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ tl A • an ssociates, Inc. - and sediment, as well as flood storage, is more likely provided by the upslope ~ impoundment. Stream A, down slope from Wetland A, is lacking in sufficient hydrology and aquatic habitat, so it is also likely that Wetland A supports no ~ significant aquatic habitat. Wetland B (0.26 acres) is also a headwater ~ riparian wetland dominated by surface water hydrology. This area however, - is limited in function due to the disturbance of the power line, and in fact may have been created from disturbance and compaction of soils associated with ~ the construction within the transmission line easement. No groundwater ~ monitoring has been performed to measure wetland hydrology. ~ ~ 1.2.4 Soils ~ Most of the soils within the expansion tract and future pit area are classified by the USDA Soil Survey of Alamance County (1960) as Helena Sandy ~ Loam, or Helena Coarse Sandy Loam. This includes the pasture/agricultural - areas, forested areas, and the riparian headwaters. ~ 1.2.5 Vegetation ~ The wetland areas on the site are forested, with the exception of the upper ~ portion of the Wetland B, which is within the power line easement and is ~ dominated by successional shrubs and herbaceous wetland vegetation. The • wetlands receive hydrologic inputs primarily from surface water inputs as ~ headwater areas upslope from the streams. Wetland A also receives a considerable amount of seepage from the off-site upslope pond. The ~ vegetation in the wetland portions of the project area ranges from facultative - to obligate, suggesting that the soils on the site are regularly saturated • throughout the year, but that they may dry out in the summer months or during periods of drought. ~ 1.2.6 Protected Species and Habitat ~ Following a review of pertinent sources, it was determined that the site does - not support species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. According to the ~ North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP), there are no federally listed ~ threatened or endangered species in Alamance County. In addition, NHP does - not have any mapped occurrences within one mile of the project site. ~ 1.2.7 Historical and/or Archaeological Sites ~ No sites within the vicinity of the project are registered or listed as being ~ eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Appendix 3 r ~ ~ Kimle -Horn 4 ^ ~ ^ and Associates, Inc. ~ provides a letter from The North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). w 1.2.8 Regulated Floodplain ~ Boyd's Creek is a regulated floodway and floodplain within the East ~ Alamance Quarry property. All other streams within the expansion site are - not located within the 100-year floodplain of the Boyd's Creek. Appendix 4 ~ includes a map of the 100-year floodplain and floodway through the project site. ~ 1.3 Project Description ~ The project as approved by the current Mine Plan shows the entire expansion tract as ~ future expansion area. This includes the area proposed for the berm, pit expansion, ~ and areas south of the power line to Boyd's Creek. The proposed activity is to expand the pit eastward from existing limits within the expansion area north of the ~ power line easement. This would include the creation of a perimeter berm around the - expanded pit and the stockpiled overburden south of the power line. No additional - disturbance is proposed to the southeastern portion of the site at this time. - In addition to the expansion of the pit, a stream crossing over Boyd's Creek south of • the existing haul road crossing would be necessary in order to access the southern portion of the pit and maintenance of water quality ponds in the expanded area of the mine. ~ Site preparation would begin with the mechanized clearing of vegetation from the site ~ and installation of erosion control devices around the construction site. Wetland A ! (0.44 acres) would be filled for the creation of the perimeter berm, and Stream A, ~ from it's origin at Wetland A to the power line (2,117 LF) would be removed through ~ excavation of overburden material. 887 linear feet of Stream A has been identified as " " Important , with the remainder (1,230 LF) is considered "Unimportant" and lacking sufficient aquatic function. There is an upslope impoundment offsite. This pond is • currently used for irrigation and as a water source for the local fire department. The ~ watershed area is relatively small (~50 acres) so the impoundment and use of water offsite from the project area has likely reduced the quality and function of the ~ downstream wetland and intermittent stream. There is likely minimal nutrient • treatment and flood storage since much of the hydrology is contained within the pond, • and downstream hydrology is mostly provided through seepage under the impoundment. The reduction in hydrology to the downstream wetland and stream ~ also has affected aquatic habitat and hydrologic functions within the intermittent ~ channel. S s ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ ~ and Associates, Inc. • • A culvert and fill would be placed in Boyd's Creek (98 LF total comprised on 20 LF of inlet protection riprap, 58 LF of CMP, and 20 LF of outlet protection riprap) between the expanded pit area and plant downstream of the existing crossing. The culvert would be designed and constructed to meet USACE requirements to maintain flow, and would accommodate flood flows via floodplain culverts as necessary to ensure that the crossing would not cause instability of the stream channel up and downstream of the crossing. Total impacts for the expansion activities would be 0.44 acres of riparian wetland, 1,230 LF of intermittent unimportant stream (approximately 4,920 square feet), 887 LF intermittent important stream, and 98 LF of perennial important stream. MMM proposes to mitigate for impacts to wetlands and stream channels associated with the project by providing payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) sufficient for the restoration of 0.50 acre of riparian wetlands and 1,083 linear feet of stream channel (887 LF for 1:1 ratio of intermittent important stream impact, 196 LF for 2:1 ratio for 98 LF of perennial stream impact) within the Upper Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030002). 1.4 Changes to Project Any changes to the project that occur during the permit review process will be noted here. 2.0 Project Purpose The basic project purpose for the proposed activity is to expand the existing mine in order to continue operations and maintain supply for local demand of aggregate in Alamance County, North Carolina. The East Alamance Quarry currently supplies five counties (Alamance, Caswell, Guilford, Orange, and Person), including the Burlington, Mebane, Gibsonville, and Leon College. The quarry typically produces 700,000 tons of aggregate per year. The quarry currently employs 25 people, and expansion of the mine will provide for an additiona140 to 60 years of production. Construction within water of the U.S. is proposed to allow the expansion of upland development activities. Based on the configuration of the mine in relation to the property boundaries and Boyd's Creek, expansion westward is the only practical alternative for the quarry to continue operations. This includes unavoidable impacts to water of the U.S. Off-site alternatives include development of a new mine, which is not practical from a timing perspective due to acquisition of properties, zoning, etc, and would likely generate comparable impacts based on the nature of the activity. On-site alternatives are limited by physical constraints of the site (power line easement, property boundaries) or would require ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ antl Associates, Inc. . greater impacts to water of the U.S. (i.e. Boyd's Creek). Therefore, these alternatives are not - practicable and would not meet the project purpose and need. - In order to gain access to the desired product the mine must expand laterally. This expansion - also allows the existing pit to be excavated deeper, further increasing the potential output of ~ the mine. In order to achieve this goal, expansion into adjacent land is by far the most i pract cal and economic solution. The presence of jurisdictional streams and wetlands on the ~ expansion tract is incidental, and not a requirement for the presence of the aggregate. It is • technically possible to expand the tract without direct impacts to the jurisdictional areas on ~ the site, however to do so would significantly limit the volume of material produced by the mine and the economic return of the project. Accordingly, we consider the proposed project ~ not to be water dependent, and less damaging practicable alternatives, which involve no fill • in streams or wetlands, are therefore presumed to be available. It is also presumed that those • alternatives have less adverse impact to the aquatic ecosystem. A review of the alternate plans, including those that reduce or avoid impacts to waters of the U.S., is included in ~ Section 6 of this document. ~ 3.0 Scope of Analysis: - The proposed work will primarily benefit Martin Marietta Materials (MMM) and will be ~ wholly funded by MMM. Other than the requirement to obtain a Section 404 permit, no other federal involvement in the proposed work is anticipated. There are no practicable ~ alternatives to the proposed plans that would further avoid or minimize impacts to waters of - the U.S., and the project would not meet the applicant's purpose and need but for the • proposed impacts. Additionally, the expansion tract is bisected by astream/wetland system ~ subject to Section 404 permit requirements, and impacts to this system are essential for the d evelopment of the project as a whole. Accordingly, we propose that the scope of analysis ~ extend to the limits of the project (i.e., the 73-acre expansion tract per the Mine Plan). ~ ~ 4.0 Other Federal, State, and Local Authorizations • Obtained or Required and Pending ~ 4.1 State water quality certification (401) ~ The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 certification is submitted ~ concurrent to this 404 permit application. ~ ~ 4.2 Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Consistency Determination ~ A North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) consistency ~ determination/permit is not required. ~ 4.3 Other authorizations - None required. ~ ~ ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ ~ and Associates, Inc. • • • • • • • • 5.0 Complete Application and Public Notice Application review and public notice are pending. 6.0 Alternatives [33 CFR 320.4(b)(4), 40 CFR 230.10]: Based on the factors considered below, there are no practicable alternatives that would allow MMM to avoid impacts to waters of the U.S. associated with expansion of the East Alamance Quarry. 6.1 Avoidance (No action, uplands, and availability of other sites): 6.1.1 No Action/Upland-Only Alternative MMM has considered the no action (i.e. no permit required) alternative and determined that it would not meet the project purpose and need. If the expansion of the project were to be limited to upland areas east of Stream A, the quarry would not be able to economically support operations and would cease to operate. This would limit the amount of reserves available and significantly reduce the life of the mining operations, as it would significantly limit the depth of the mine as well as the area for the pit. In addition, development of a second pit without impacts to waters of the U.S. is not feasible as the pit expansion considers the depth of the future pit as well as the area for expansion, so that the upland area available for a second pit could not be deep enough to be viable. Expanding the existing pit laterally also allows the mine to continue to spiral to a deeper depth, meaning that the permit is necessary not only for the expansion area, but also for the continued operation of the existing pit. Furthermore, crossing jurisdictional areas would also still be necessary to logistically operate the plant. Therefore, not expanding the pit or limiting the pit would cause MMM to lose the economic benefit that would result from operation of the facility, and the local community would lose the tax revenues and the supply of the aggregate material. Finally, per the approved Mine Plan, MMM intends to construct a perimeter berm along the property boundary of the proposed pit to control access and safety, limit noise, and provide an aesthetic barrier to adjacent properties. This berm, if constructed in uplands only, would not be contiguous, and thus, would not function as intended. The no action alternative would result in the preservation of approximately 0.70 acre of wetlands and 8,0371inear feet of stream channel (length approximate based on GIS mapping of Boyd's Creek accounting for 2,194 LF). While this would be the least damaging alternative, it is not practicable, and does not support the project purpose and need. 6.1.3 Off-Site Alternatives The project purpose is specifically for the expansion of an existing facility and not for the construction of a new mine. The criteria that required for developing a new mine are substantial. The site must be of adequate size to ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ antl Associates, Inc. allow for the mine infrastructure. The useful mining area of the site is limited by a number of factors. Typically, a 300 to 500-acre tract is required to support operations typical of the East Alamance Quarry. There are specific requirements set for mining safety that govern the size of haul roads, the shape of the mining pit, and blasting and excavation procedures. The site must also support a berm as an acoustic barrier, fences, and forested buffers for visual and aesthetic reasons. Additionally, the site must support outbuilding constriction, overburden stockpiling, aggregate processing, equipment storage, transportation corridors, and water control features. All of these factors affect the useable acreage left for the actual pit. On top of these considerations, the site must have the necessary geology, such that the desired aggregate is present and accessible. The local demand for aggregate must also be present, particularly given the extremely high costs of trucking mining product any distance. In general, the East Alamance Quarry provides product to the local market within a 30-mile radius. This also requires that the site have reasonable access to major transportation corridors, proper zoning, and availability of a reliable water supply. Finally, development of a new mine is likely to result in local opposition, in addition to concerns regarding environmental justice. When all of these factors are considered, the costs of developing a new site are prohibitively expensive compared to the alternative and expanding an existing facility. - It is also important to recognize that the development of alternative sites (if ~ they were available) would likely result in impacts equal to or greater than the proposed expansion alternative. Topography throughout eastern Alamance ~ County is fairly incised, resulting innumerous streams and wetlands. Any . facility of equivalent size would likely have a mix of jurisdictional areas - similar to that of the proposed site. As state above, any alternative site would ~ likely be large with an extensive impact area. While it is possible that there are sites available that meet the stated criteria, it is extremely unlikely that ~ those sites would present a less damaging alternative. ~ ~ 6.2 Minimization (modified project designs, etc.) ~ The very nature of a mine requires an extensive surface disturbance, making it difficult to work around streams and wetlands. The effect of avoiding small surface ~ streams and wetlands located in the middle of a mine site is amplified because the ~ slope of pit wall that would be required. In essence, the cone of effect underneath a i small wetland or stream may represent a vast quality of material. As a result, it is difficult to design a mining project to minimize impacts in the same manner as ~ commercial or residential developments where road and building footprints can be ~ rearranged, and retaining walls can be used to prevent fill from extending into ~ 9 ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ ~ and Associates, Inc. wetland areas. As explained below, MMM has tried to locate the mine expansion in such a way that it minimizes impacts to streams and wetlands as much as possible while still maximizing the aggregate yield of the site. MMM has decided to not pursue any physical impact to streams in the southern portion of the expansion tract below the power line easement although this area is approved for future mine expansion per the Mine Plan (5,920 LF of avoided stream channel including the approximate length of Boyd's Creek accounting for 2,194 LF). There will be activities within this area to stockpile overburden per the Mine Plan, however, this activity will take place in uplands only. MMM has worked to minimize secondary impacts to the avoided streams where considerable portions of the watershed will be altered or removed through excavation. This minimization effort includes rerouting of stormwater, pumping, and management of discharge locations to provide supplemental hydrology to these areas to support aquatic functions. These minimization measures apply to the remaining segment of Stream A south of the power line, and Wetland B/Stream C discussed below. See Appendix 6 for permit drawings of the minimization measures. o MMM proposes to redirect a portion of storm flow from Boyd's Creek to the head of the remaining portion of Stream A to maintain intermittent flow and hydrologic functions in the remaining portion of the stream channel. It is anticipated that once mining activities cease and the pit recharges, Stream A will be a natural outlet for storm flows from the pit/lake area, and that the intermittent hydrologic functions will remain. Therefore, MMM will maintain a pump mechanism or floodplain channel diversion to capture periodic storm flows from Boyd's Creek and re-direct them to Stream A. Once the pit expansion is completed in the area of the remaining segment of Stream A, a secondary discharge location maybe added in that location to maintain discharge to Stream A while mining activities continue. o The proposed minimization measure for the Wetland B/Stream C headwater area is to capture the re-directed flow from the off-site pond upslope from Stream A. The existing outlet of the pond will remain, to support the down slope wetlands off-site of the MMM property and project area, however, the spillway will be modified to limit stormwater flow into the expanded pit area. This modified spillway will capture and re-direct stormwater flow through apipe/ditch system to a settling basin and level spreader system up slope from the head of Wetland B/Stream C. This diffuse flow will offset the removal of the drainage area caused by the pit expansion in order to maintain the hydrologic function of the wetland/stream system. The diffuse flow level spreader mechanism will be incorporated to limit head cutting through the wetland. Wetland B (0.26 acre) will be avoided by the pit expansion and berm construction. i o ~ ~ ^ KimleyHorn ~ and Associates, Inc. ~ 6.3 Conclusions of Alternatives Analysis ~ This report provided information regarding the limitations that are specific to the . proposed type of activity, the topography of the site, safety requirements, aesthetic ~ features, and required infrastructure. Based on this information, it was determined that there are no reasonable off-site alternatives that meet the project purpose. This ~ report also provides information regarding the efforts made by the applicant to • minimize impacts to streams and wetlands, and to attempt to locate unavoidable • impacts in areas that support the least aquatic function. After reviewing alternatives and the efforts made to avoid and minimize impacts to the aquatic environment, we ~ believe that the proposed plan represents the least damaging practicable alternative. ~ • 7.0 Evaluation of the 404(b)(1) Guidelines: ~ 7.1 Factual determinations • ~ 7.1.1 Physical substrate ., Approximately 2,2071inear feet of stream channel (90 LF of perennial, 887 . LF important intermittent, and 1,230 LF unimportant intermittent) would be filled, excavated, or piped. Additionally, 0.44 acre of wetland would be filled ~ or excavated. Construction should proceed at a steady rate over the life of the ~ permit. Although turbidity rates in the stream below the worksite may • temporarily increase during construction activities, sedimentation and erosion ~ control measures required by the state should prevent the displacement of sediment downstream. Per the approved Mine Plan, once excavation of the ~ mine pit begins, stormwater runoff would be captured and pumped to streams - at a controlled rate, minimizing the risk for downstream bank erosion. • Accordingly, stream substrate below the project site is not likely to be appreciably affected. ~ 7.1.2 Water circulation, fluctuation, and salinity • The proposed project should have no appreciable effect on current, • circulation, or drainage pattern. The watershed for the stream proposed to be impacted is largely contained on the site. The wetland impact is not ~ substantial, and should not result in a measurable decrease in floodwater ~ retention. Where in-stream flows would be affected by the mine, measures ~ would be put in place to divert water around the impact area. These measures will only be required for intermittent streams that have no baseflow during the ~ dry season. With the exception of a road crossing, no impacts would occur to ~ perennial streams. ~ 7.1.3 Suspended particulate/turbidity - Downstream turbidities would increase temporarily during construction of the ~ site; however, this would be ashort-term impact. The majority of increases in ~ turbidity would likely to result from clearing and construction of upland areas. ~ u ^ ~ ^ KimleyHorn ~ ~ antl Associates, Inc. i • Any impacts would be minimized by the implementation of appropriate ~ erosion control measures as required by the approved Mine Plan. Once the expansion of the mine begins, off site storm flows would be carried around the ~ pit. Much of the onsite runoff would collect in the bottom of the mine, where - it is pumped to containment areas for use in dust abatement. Accordingly, the - effects of turbidity resulting from the proposed undertaking are expected to be minor. ~ 7.1.4 Contaminant availability . The proposed project would not introduce contaminants or increase the - likelihood of contamination. Only suitable earthen material, mostly originating on site, which should be free of toxic pollutants or contaminants, ~ would be used for construction of the permitted fills. ~ • 7.1.5 Aquatic ecosystem effects - The placement of fill associated with the project would result in a total loss of the impacted aquatic ecosystem and its functions. The wetland area would be ~ filled and would no longer provide nutrient filtration or sediment removal, and ~ habitat present within the wetland area would be lost. The aquatic system • immediately downstream of the project site is limited to a stream system. The short-term effects expected downstream would primarily be limited to ~ temporary discharges of sediment during construction. These impacts would ~ be minimized by proper installation of sediment and erosion control devices, - which are required by state and local ordinances. ~ 7.1.6 Proposed disposal site ~ No disposal sites are required by the proposed plans. ~ 7.1.7 Cumulative effects • For the purposes of assessing cumulative effects that the proposed action may ~ have to the aquatic environment, it is reasonable to evaluate the effects within the project boundaries and downstream of the project as it could effect the ~ watershed. The direct impact of the undertaking includes the loss of 2,207 - linear feet of stream channel, including 977 linear feet of stream determined to - have important aquatic function, as well as 0.44 acres of wetland. The impacts to these resources would result in a complete loss of function, including water ~ quality functions (nutrient sequestration, sediment filtration, etc.), habitat for ~ aquatic and terrestrial species, and hydrology (flood water attenuation, - groundwater recharge, etc.). The project is located in a relatively undeveloped part of the county. Other impacts to the aquatic environment located in the ~ region are mainly a result of agricultural production, low and moderate ~ density residential development, and road corridor construction. The - anticipated effects of the proposed project would be minimal relative to other • types of projects in the region, and taken alone, do not present a significant or imminent threat to the stability and integrity of the aquatic ecosystem within ~ the watershed. The type of wetland and stream system located that would be ~ 1 z . ~ Kimley-Horn ^ ~ ^ and Associates, Inc. • impacted is not particularly unique or high quality resource. Furthermore, by ~ implementing proposed best management practices, such as the retention of stormwater and the implementation of sediment and erosion control measures, ~ the effects of the project can be somewhat reduced. The loss of stream and ~ wetland function would also be replaced by the proposed mitigation. Based ~ on all of the available information, the project would not contribute more than minimally to the cumulative impact on aquatic resources in the region. ~ 7.1.8 Secondary effects ~ The secondary effects of the project would be limited to the aquatic resource - effects directly resulting from placement of fill into waters of the U.S., other than the fill itself. With respect to the fill required for road construction, there ~ should be few, if any measurable secondary effects. This is primarily because ~ the roads themselves would not encourage additional development, as they are - designed only to provide access to the adjoining land for quarry operations. The roadways may result in some additional stormwater and pollutant load in ~ the stream channels; however, this possibility would be minimized by the ~ proper maintenance of sediment and erosion control measures. ~ Fill and excavation conducted during construction of the berms and pit would ~ result in some temporary loss of sediment downstream, however the project ~ would not result in substantial increases in impervious surface. Stormwater - flowing into the pit would either be stored on site or pumped directly to stream channels in a controlled manner per the approved Mine Plan. ~ Many of the secondary effects that are traditionally attributable to residential and commercial development do not apply in this case. Because of the nature ~ of the activity, the proposed undertaking would not result in additional ~ demand for residential development in the region. The aggregate produced by ~ the quarry is necessary for the construction industry; however, a decrease in ~ the available supply from a single quarry would not slow development in the region. The site is also not expected to generate the same amount or type of ~ wastewater associated with a development of its size. ~ Considering the discussion above, potential secondary effects resulting from ~ the proposed project are unlikely to have more than a minimal impact to - aquatic resources. Additionally, those effects that do occur are likely to be - minimized by measures required of the applicant, including the implementation of sediment and erosion control plans, and control of stormwater leaving the site. - 13 ^ ~ ^ KimleyHorn ~ and Associates, Inc. _ __ ~ 7.2 Compensatory Mitigation ~ As discussed in section 1.3, most of the proposed impacts are to intermittent - unimportant stream and low-quality wetland due to the altered hydrologic functions - of Wetland A and Stream A from the off-site pond. Since discharge from the pond has been reduced, the aquatic functions downstream within the project area have also ~ been reduced. ~ Therefore, MMM has proposed to mitigate unavoidable impacts by providing ~ payment into the NCEEP to provide for the restoration of 1,083 linear feet of stream ~ channel (based on 1:1 mitigation ratio for 887 LF of intermittent/important stream ~ impact, and 2:1 ratio for 98 LF of perennial stream impact), and 0.50 acre of riparian ~ wetlands (based on a mitigation ratio of 1:1 for the 0.44 acre of impact rounded to the nearest 0.25 acre). ~ ~ Based on the current Schedule of Fees for the NCEEP, a total payment of $266,107.50 will be made to NCEEP for compensatory mitigation. Payment into the NCWRP is an acceptable form of mitigation as established by the ~ Memorandum of Understanding between the North Carolina Department of ~ Environment and Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, • Wilmington District, dated November 4, 1998. ~ 8.0 Public Interest Factors • 8.1 Conservation ~ The proposed development does not include the permanent conservation of any ~ stream or wetland areas on site; however, the Mine Plan calls for the avoidance of impact to the riparian buffer of Boyd's Creek other than haul road crossings. Based ~ on the Mine Plan, the creek is a buffered stream corridor separating the active pit from the plant and stockpile areas. In addition, the expansion tract includes the ~ property south of the power line which contains 3,7261inear feet of stream (Streams - A, B, C, and D). MMM has agreed to limit the pit expansion north of the power line • and only disturb upland areas south of the power line. Lastly, the mitigation payment in the NCEEP would also be used to restore and preserve stream corridors and ~ wetland areas elsewhere in the Cape Fear River Basin. ~ • 8.2 Economics ~ The applicant would be the primary beneficiary of expansion of the mine and ~ continued sale of aggregate product. However, the expansion project would help meet regional current and future demand for aggregate. It would also continue to ~ provide an overall benefit to the local economy, and would result in continued local, 14 ^ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ and Associates, Inc. - state, and federal tax revenues. The development would also continue to support - permanent employment for the quarry staff. The anticipated cumulative and secondary effects resulting from the proposed development have been considered in ~ this document and it is not expected that the project would lead to additional growth- induced impacts. ~ 8.3 Aesthetics ~ The project would be an expansion of the existing site development and land use for ~ long-term operations. Therefore, the project would not generate additional noise and ~ light relative to the residential and agricultural uses that are currently located in the - vicinity. In addition, the site is already zoned for the site expansion, so the project ~ would not cause disharmony in the aesthetics of the community or planned future growth of the region. ~ 8.4 General environmental concerns (33CFR320.4(p)) • The overall impact to the environment as a result of the construction would be • minimal. As an expansion of an existing operation, minimal increases in sediment, construction noise, traffic levels, etc., would be expected during construction of the ~ project. Impacts to wetlands, streams, and fish and wildlife would primarily result ~ from the loss of existing aquatic and terrestrial habitat and by changes to the - watershed, though these effects would be offset by functions provided by the ~ stormwater facilities and by the mitigation offered by the applicant. In addition, these measures will be offset in the long term ultimately by the lake and natural areas ~ provided through reclamation once the operations cease. The proposed plan also • avoids impacts to the majority of the streams and riparian zones located on the site. • Consideration was also given to the environmental justice of the proposed project. Stormwater generated by the increases in impervious surfaces would be retained on- ~ site, preventing potential negative impacts to persons living or owning land with the - floodplain downstream of the project. Additionally, the surrounding region is not - occupied any particular minority or ethnic group, so the proposed activity would not lead to environmental justice concerns. ~ 8.5 Wetlands (33CFR320.4(b)) ~ There is a total of 0.70 acres of delineated and verified wetlands on the project site. - The project would result in the loss of 0.44 acres of headwater wetland that currently ~ provides limited functions due to the upstream impoundment, which is used for irrigation. The applicant would mitigate for unavoidable impacts to wetlands by ~ payment into the NCEEP program. ~ 8.6 Historic and cultural resources (33CFR320.4(e)) - There are no known or suspected historic or cultural resources located within the ~ permit area, and no impact to any of these resources would result from the project. ~ The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State Historic Preservation ~ Office (SHPO) was contacted and verified that no registered properties, or properties - listed as being eligible for inclusion therein are located within the project area or ~ 1 s ~ Kimley-Horn - ^ ~ ^ and Associates, Inc. • • • • • • • would be affected by the proposed work. See Appendix 3 for correspondence from the SHPO. 8.7 Fish and wildlife values (33CFR320.4(c)) The project would not be expected to result in more than minimal permanent adverse effects to fish or wildlife values. During construction, it is likely that many aquatic and terrestrial animals would be lost, along with their habitat. The type of habitat on the site includes forested wetland and upland areas, limited in-stream and riparian habitat, and agricultural fields. A review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program database for protected species shows that there are no mapped occurrences of listed species of concern within one mile of the project site. In addition, there are no federally listed threatened or endangered species for Alamance County. 8.8 Flood hazards The project would not be expected to have an impact on the overall hazard of flooding downstream of the project site. The mine expansion would not result in increases to impervious surface within the watershed, and the existing stormwater management program would remain in place. 8.9 Floodplain values (33CFR320.4(I)) Pursuant to Executive Order 11988, consideration has been given to the effect of the proposed project toward reducing the risk of flood loss, minimizing the impact of floods on human safety, health and welfare, and restoring and preserving the natural and beneficial values served by floodplains. Portions of the site along Boyd;s Creek are located within the regulated 100-year floodplain. A small portion of the floodplain would be filled to allow for development of the site for the haul road crossing. The crossing on Boyd's Creek will require fill in the regulated floodplain and will be appropriately permitted and coordinated with the Alamance County floodplain manager and/or FEMA. It is anticipated that the culvert will be designed and constructed to not restrict the 100-year storm event and thus a no rise certification is anticipated and will be obtained prior to construction. See Appendix 4 for a map of the FEMA-designated floodplain. 8.10 Land use As proposed, the mine expansion would result in the conversion of forested and agricultural land to a mine. While this is a major shift in land use, the project would remain consistent with the zoning requirements for the site. 8.11 Navigation (33CFR320.4(0)) The project is located on anon-navigable waterway. Accordingly, consideration of the project's effect on navigation is not applicable. 8.12 Shore erosion and accretion The project does not contain open waters; therefore, the project's effect on shore erosion and accretion is not applicable. t 6 ~ ~ ^ Kimley-Horn ~ and Associates, Inc. _ _ __ • 8.13 Recreation ~ The project is intended to expand the existing operations within the property. • Therefore, the project is not expected to effect regional recreational opportunities. ~ 8.14 Water supply (33CFR320.4(m)) ~ The development will draw from local water supply sources, but it is not expected to ~ add demand to the local water supply system. Water and sewer services have already ~ been provided to the site, so no additional impact from construction of these utilities - is anticipated. Since the project is an expansion to an existing operation, there should be no appreciable effect to ground water recharge within the region. ~ 8.15 Water quality (also 33CFR320.4(d)) ~ No major impacts to water quality are expected. Minor temporary increases in - turbidity may occur during construction, however, due to the nature of the activity ~ (expanding the pit) it is not anticipated that the activity will discharge sediment or pollutants. It is anticipated that the site's stormwater treatment facility should offset ~ long-term impacts by removing sediments, nutrients, and other pollutants from treated - stormwater, and by attenuating peak flows downstream. The North Carolina Division - of Water Quality is required to review the proposed plans and provide a state 401 Water Quality Certification prior to construction of the project. ~ 8.16 Energy needs (33CFR320.4(n)) ~ Since the proposed project is an expansion of an existing operation, it is not • anticipated that there will be additional requirements to the local electrical grid. ~ 8.17 Safety ~ Since the proposed project is an expansion of an existing operation, it is not ~ anticipated that there will be additional traffic requirements or safety concerns. - During construction of the project, all applicable safety standards would be observed. ~ 8.18 Food and fiber production ~ The project site is primarily forested. Relative to the amount of forested land in the ~ region, the effect of this conversion will be negligible. ~ 8.19 Mineral needs - As stated in the project purpose, the project is intended to continue operations to ~ supply aggregate to the local market. ~ 8.20 Considerations of property ownership - Since the proposed project is an expansion of an existing operation, it is not - anticipated that the adjacent landowners will be affected as a result of the proximity of their property to the project. The use of the land would be consistent with the ~ designated zoning, and the owner's right to reasonable, private use of their land. i~ • ^!^ Kimley-Horn ! and Associates, Inc. i ~ ~ R~ ... -: rr OYp'S ~ ~ J n o ~ ~ 5 1 C- ~ n 0 sr ~r. tl ~ ': t a °` a~~ S Ai 2 ~ ~ L `~ ~ ~ rd ~ W 87 ~ t 'm 54 ~~ o` ~ O ~! ~~~a ~ ~ + - ~ 4o i- B *. oll- 5 i ~ . ~ 't a ~ - ~ 8 .bi '" °J~ ~'~~~` ~ " r"-- \ ,oad We o n n st 3 ~ ~`0 S6 F ~ ~ - .ac ~ v y tl - ~ e ~ ~ ~ ~ r~~ } ~' ~, a~''~d~ , _ ~~ lea , ~v -_, ~ } ! , a 2389 '+ ~ ~`feaf~i , ~ yJ ~, ~ - ~ 5 °' .. c r~ I 4 pS mf - e f ~ Ivey Rd _ } A 2248 2280 rn E ' w,P S ~ _ ai - R ~c ( 7? , ~• ~ °°r EE'Y~~ ~ ~~R`re`Y ~ ~' 3~ ~ fem. _ O '3,000 _ ~ o~,i eekW I Cio~~~~'~ r 'N'JirrrMinoriR'rj a - .lrJ SS pr e ~ ~/ A •n ~ v_ a _ + _ ° ' s gor g ~ ~ feet o'r R .' _ is S~ W `' o °a 2289 p' OK i l• ~ I ~° O' 2291 ~' ~ Title Vicinity Map Project East Alamance Quarry M..w, w.i.,,. wa.~.i. ^^ Alamance County, North Carolina ~yr Date Project Number Figure 11/13/2006 011185024 I T:ApnA01118024 F..

M e m o u n d rt m Date: December 1, 2005 Project: Martin Marietta Materials: East Alamance Quarry Alamance County, North Carolina Subject: Jurisdictional Determination (JD) field review with US Army Corps of Engineers of the expansion area adjacent to the mine and to discuss future permitting of the tract. Attendees: Todd Tugwell, US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Chad Evenhouse, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) Tommy Cousins, KHA Purpose of Meeting KHA staff had an on-site meeting with Corps staff, Todd Tugwell, on December 1, 2005 at the East Alamance Quarry. The purpose of the meeting was to evaluate the site in comparison to the conditions observed during the onsite field review held in August 2005 and to discuss permitting issues for expansion of the mine per the approved Mine Plan. During the August meeting, the area for pit expansion was reviewed to determine jurisdictional streams and wetlands. However, the site was evaluated during deficit rainfall conditions and the Corps wanted to re-evaluate the site during the. non-growing season to observe more typical hydrological conditions. According to Tony Jenkins, Plant Manger for the quarry, the site had received more than 2 inches of rainfall in the week prior to the December 1, 2005 meeting. A handout (attached) was provided to the Corps at the meeting. The handout included: • Site Figures o Figure 1: Site Location Map o Figure 2: USGS Quad Map o Figure 3: Site Overview Map - A GIS figure showing the approximate limits of pit expansion and the GPS-surveyed East Alamance Quarry US Arrny Corps of Engineers Field Review - December 1, 2005 - delineation of streams and wetlands within the expansion tract - per the approved (NC Division of Land Resources) Mine Plan, ' • Corps Wetland Data Forms for wetland and upland areas (data locations shown on the Figure 3), . • NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Stream Classification Forms - (data locations shown on the Figure 3). The handout documents are attached for reference. ~ In addition to confirmation of the delineation of the expansion tract, the onsite review included discussion of permitting approach (alternatives and mitigation - issues). Delineation of Jurisdictional Areas - The Corps approved the delineation of jurisdictional wetlands and streams - (perenniaUintermittent and important/unimportant) performed by KHA for the expansion tract as shown in Figure 3. The following discussion references features labeled in Figures 3 and 4. - ~ Wetlands A and B, shown in Figure 3, are jurisdictional and approved as delineated by KHA. - Stream A (Unnamed Tributary to Boyd's Creek) was re-evaluated to compare current hydrological conditions to those observed in August. It was noted during both visits that Stream A is impounded just upstream of the property boundary - and the adjacent property owner uses the pond for irrigation for a sod farm. The stream was determined to be intermittent unimportant from its initiation point downslope of Wetland A to the point defined in the field by the Corps and KHA • during the onsite field review in August, and reconfirmed in December. The - location of this point was GPS-surveyed by KHA and is shown in Figure 4. The lower portion of Stream A, from the important/unimportant transition to the confluence with Boyd's Creek, was determined to be intermittent important - jurisdictional stream. Stream B (Unnamed Tributary to Boyd's Creek) and Boyd's Creek are perennial - streams. Both streams are high-quality buffered streams within the expansion • tract. Stream C and Stream D are intermittent important first-order streams. Stream C • originates in a disturbed area of the power line which has stabilized as a headwater wetland (Wetland B). - Figure 4 shows the GIS analysis of the GPS survey (sub-meter accuracy) of approximate lengths/areas of these jurisdictional features. The approximate lengths/areas are: __ • East Alamance Quarry US Army Corps of Errgineers Field Review Decerrrber 1, 2005 • Wetland A - 0.49 acres - • Wetland B - 0.27 acres • Stream A (Unimportant/Intermittent) - 1,3591inear feet (LF), or 0.09 acres assuming a 3-ft channel width • Stream A (Important/Intermittent) - 0 965 LF from beginning of importance to mine expansion limit 0 829 LF from mine expansion limit to confluence with Boyd's Creek near the expansion tract boundary • Stream B - 1,819 LF - • Stream C - 499 LF • Stream D - 694 LF • Boyd's Creek - 2,194 LF within the expansion tract limits as shown in - Figure 3. The portion of Boyd's Creek upstream and downstream from - the confluence with Stream A was GPS surveyed by KHA. The ' remaining portion of Boyd s Creek within the expansion tract is shown as NCDWQ GIS stream data layer. Permitting Approach Discussion The proposed mine expansion limit is shown in Figures 3 and 4 as an - approximation of the actual mine limits within the expansion tract. In addition, there are areas of development for the construction of a perimeter berm, security fence and/or a perimeter maintenance road. Overburden storage is planned in the - southern portion of the tract in upland areas. At this time, it is unlikely that the - pit will be expanded south of the power line which bisects the tract. The direct impact of the important intermittent stream (lower portion of Stream . A) would exceed the Corps' Nationwide Permit threshold for linear feet of stream impact (3001inear feet), and would require a Sec. 404/401 Individual Permit to develop the site as shown in the current approved Mine Plan. • Based on the field review and GIS analysis of areas/lengths, the total direct stream impact would be 0.09 acres of unimportant intermittent stream (upper portion of Stream A - 1,359 LF of a 3-ft wide channel), and 965 LF of important - intermittent stream (lower portion of Stream A within the mine expansion limits). Jurisdictional areas within the expansion tract which may need to be directly - impacted (i. e. the portion of the expansion tract North of the power line) include - Wetland A (0.49 acres). More information from MMM regarding the need and design requirements for the perimeter berm and maintenance/safety road is necessary to determine whether there is no practical alternative to impacting this - jurisdictional wetland area. Based on the Corps' review, the impact to the unimportant intermittent section of . Stream A would be permitted on an area basis. The segment considered as - important intermittent would be permitted on a linear footage basis. Although the lower portion of Stream A was determined to be jurisdictionally important, the • 3 • East Alamance Quarry US Arrny Corps of Engineers Field Review • December 1, 2005 - quality of the stream was considered to be low due to low biological function. ~ Therefore, the Corps determined that a mitigation ratio of 1:1 would be requu-ed in order to permit the direct impacts to the stream (assuming justification of need - and no practical alternative). Stream A south of the mine expansion limits, but within the expansion tract, is not proposed for direct impact. However, the Corps commented that the removal - of the upstream watershed would likely be considered a secondary impact to the lower portion of Stream A (approximately 829 LF). KHA commented that although the mine activities are long in duration, they are not permanent and - eventually the mine will become a lake. The remaining drainage area and - supplemental discharge from the mine (if necessary) provided during mining activities, may mitigate any potential secondary impacts. It was concluded that further evaluation of the potential secondary impacts to the downstream reach - will need to be included in any permit application. A potential on-site mitigation alternative maybe to relocate Stream A to the • western boundary of the expansion tract and to connect the relocated channel to - Stream C near the boundary. Stream C was evaluated with the Corps as well to discuss the potential use for mitigation. KHA had determined that the stream was somewhat unstable, providing restoration potential, and would also need to - be expanded to handle the additional capacity. The Corps recommended that the channel not be used for mitigation because of the stream's existing buffer and stability in the upper portion. The Corps stated the benefit of restoration would - not out-weigh the impact to the existing channel; therefore, modification to the - channel would likely be considered an impact rather than mitigation. Although impacts are not anticipated at this time, the Corps agreed that streams ~ B, C, and D may be considered as preservation mitigation opportunities since they are within the approved expansion tract. The Corps noted the high quality of Stream B (i. e. stable banks, existing riparian buffers, bedrock grade control, - and riffle/pool bed features), and stated that it would be a suitable preservation candidate. • Conclusions and Action Items - The meeting resolved the determination of jurisdictional areas and the Corps' determination of important/unimportant intermittent stream calls for the expansion tract. MMM may now proceed with a survey of these jurisdictional - areas within the expansion tract. For the streams south of the power line (those not proposed for direct impact), the GPS survey performed by KHA is sufficient for planning/permitting purposes. For the areas within the expansion tract to be - directly impacted, a wetlands and stream delineation survey plat, tied to the • property boundary and signed by a licensed Land Surveyor, will be required. KHA is to provide an Agent Authorization letter signed by MMM for the project - (attached). 4 EastAlarnance Quarry US Ar•nry Corps of Engineers Field Review December 1, 2005 KHA provided the necessary documentation for the Corps' to prepare a tear sheet for the JD and the Corps stated they would provide this upon receipt of the agent authorization letter. KHA and the Corps agreed that apre-application meeting with MMM, the Corps, and the NCDWQ would be beneficial prior to submitting a 404/401 Individual Permit application. This meeting would be beneficial to discuss MMM's issues for development of the tract, as well as to discuss secondary impacts, avoidance and minimization alternatives, and mitigation.
