Dear Mr. Vencill:
t
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
place fill within or otherwise impact 60 linear feet of streams for the purpose of property access
and water supply at the subject property, as described within your application dated Janurary 31,
2006. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3402 and 3374 (GC3402 & GC3374). The
Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 12 and 39 when issued by the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any
other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but
not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, Non-discharge, and stormwater regulations. Also,
this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as
depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and
is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may
be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.

Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
6. Diffuse Flow (No Review)
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as
diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it
will not re-concentrate before discharging into a stream. If this is not possible, it may be
necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen. This
may require additional approval from this Office.
7. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within
these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange
warning fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved
to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to
ensure compliance with this issued Certification.
li 8. Buffer Replanting
Replanting of vegetation within disturbed areas located within 30 feet of the shoreline
associated with those impacts authorized. Disturbed areas must be replanted with forest
vegetation including at least two different native hardwood tree species at a density
sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. This density can usually be achieved
by planting approximately 436 (10 x 10 spacing) to 681 (8 x 8 spacing) trees per acre.)
8. Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 10 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be
exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 2B..0200. Appropriate sediment and erosion
control practices must be used to meet this standard.

\o waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian
areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-construction Notification.
All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance
of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that
no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
10. No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in
wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored
within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources or locally delegated _
program has released the project. _
11. Trout Moratorium
The stream is a Class B Trout Waters. In order to protect downstream uses for Class B
Trout Waters a requirement of this Certification is that any additional work conducted
within the stream may not occur between the dates of October 15 through April 15.
12. Deed Restrictions
Deed restrictions or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional
wetlands, waters and protective buffers on the entire site in order to assure compliance
from future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place
prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this
Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate.
13. Temporary Fills
All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to the
original grade, including each stream's original cross sectionaLdimensions, planform -
pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile after construction is complete or within 6
months of the establishment of the crossing, which ever is sooner, and the various sites
shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except for the maintenance areas of
permanent utility crossings) and restored to prevent erosion. If the crossings are not
completely removed and restored as described above within the specified time above,
additional written approval from this Office must be obtained to modify this condition.
North Toe River Intake and Access Road
Page 5 of 6
April 7, 2006
14. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profiles are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section
dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below
locations of each culvert. Culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life
movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are
or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes
installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of
the stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the
cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and
below locations of each culvert. Therefore, you must provide plans with adequate details
that indicate that the current stability of the stream will be maintained or enhanced. You
must receive written approval from this Office for the above plans before the culvert(s) is
installed. Culvert(s) must be installed according to approved plans.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening
methods. If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically
approved by the Division of Water Quality.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the project. Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each
culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of Completion form.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may
result in criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your proposed
impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as authorized by this
Certification, shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved
wetland or stream impacts), you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60
days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

SUBJECT: Unimin Corporation - North Toe River Intake and Access Road, Mitchell County
Unimin Corporation is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina. Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field
biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments are
provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.)
and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 $tat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
T e proposed project is to construct a 4,000 foot road and a total of four HDPE pipes (6-inches
(a' h) between the North Toe River and the manufacturing facility. An intake is proposed as well
as a raw water wet well and pump. Impacts are indicated for 30 of an Unnamed Tributary
Grassy Creek and 30' of the North Toe River. The withdrawal will have a capacity of 250
gallons per minute.
A site visit was conducted by Bob Brown, Fish biologist and Jeff Simmons, Aquatic biologist on
February 17, 2006. The Appalachian elktoe, Alasmidonta raveneliana (FE, NCE) is currently
found near Penland and the Wavy-rayed lampmussel, Lampsilis fasciola (NCSC) has a similar
distribution in the North Toe. Habitat is recovering for both of these species upstream towards
Spruce Pine. Sharphead darter, Etheostoma acuticeps (FSC, NCT); olive darter, Percina
squamata (FSC, NCSC); blotched chub, Erimystax insignis (FSC, NCSR); are also present in the
North Toe River to just upstream from Spruce Pine.

Based on the information provided by the applicant and our knowledge of the project area, we do
not believe this project will cause significant effects to waters providing the following non-
prioritized conditions are fully implemented:
1. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for
sensitive watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0124).
2. Areas disturbed by the project must be immediately stabilized and replanted with
annual plants for short-term stabilization and autochthonous perennial plants for
long-term stabilization.
3. Water pipes installed through streams must be buried a foot below the thalweg
depth or installed so as not to deter aquatic life passage.
4. Culverts 48 inches diameter or larger should be buried a foot into the streambed.
Culverts less than 48 inches diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or
greater than 20% their size to allow for aquatic life- passage. These measurements
must be based on natural thalweg depths.
5. If any concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete
does not contact stream water.
6. Intake structures should utilize passive screens with openings not to exceed 1
centimeter with a maximum intake velocity of 0.5 fps (feet per second).
7. Intake structures should be installed in a manner that reduces impacts to benthic
organisms and ensures aquatic life passage along the streambed.
8. Excavated materials should not be stockpiled where sediment can wash away or
erode to surface waters.
9. Intake structures should be marked in a manner that will reduce hazards to
navigation and recreation during and after construction.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
To the greatest extent possible, crossings have been minimized. Culverts are as short as
possible and stream revisions are only proposed as seen necessary to provide stable channel
adjacent to the proposed road embankment.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/strmgide.htnil.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
N.A.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at ht!p:!/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/M/inde?.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.usgs..gov. Several intemet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., WN"V.topozone.com,
www.niaPguest.coni, etc.).

List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging,
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
4. Pond Creation
r If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
To the greatest extent possible, crossings have been minimized. Culverts are as short as
possible and stream revisions are only proposed as seen necessary to provide stable channel
adiacent to the proposed road embankment.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
littp:/Ai2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwctlaiids/sti-nip
i de.htm 1.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
N.A.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at httn://h2o.enr.state.nc.tis/m/index.htni. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:

IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been -finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify. )?
