PUBLIC NOTICE
MR. ROBERT L. DELAPP, 5622 h-NY 150 NORTH, LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
27292 has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO EXCAVATE SAND
AND GRAVEL BY DRAGLINE DREDGE FROM MUDDY CREEK TO BE USED FOR FARM ROAD
MAINTENANCE FILL, ON PROPERTY LOCATED OFF NIFONG ROAD (S.R. 1497), WEST OF
ARC_ADIA, DAVIDSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative
of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that the
0,000 cubic yards of creek
applicant proposes to dip annually a maximum of 20,000"
sand and gravel. Site inspections showed the property has been used as a sand
mining site during a previous ownership. The dates of this earlier operation
could not be determined. The sand dipping operation would impact 125,000
square feet (2.87 acres) of creek bottom by excavation. The sand and gravel
would be removed from the creek by a dragline to a depth of 6-15 feet deep
below the creek bottom. The area of excavation is 50 Beet wide by 2500 feet
long. Excavated material will be temporarily stockpiled on the adjacent hia'-
ground ridges and later removed by dump trucks.
The site consists of a typical piedmont riverine system, characterized by
the creek channel confined within adjacent, upland ridges. These high ground
ridges consist of open farm pastures. The average depth of the water where
the excavation is preccsed is approximateiv 3 to 6 feet.
Excavated material will be temocrarily stored within a cleared areas
(about 75-100 feet wide) along the upland ridge. These areas are sparsely
vegetated by a few herbaceous plants: smartweed, ragweed, and pokeberry.
Wooded areas adjacent to the cleared stockpile area are vegetated by sycamore,
elm, sweetgum and red maple. Bevond the wooded buffer are open farm pastures.
The soils could be characterized as moderately well drained or well drained c-
first bottoms and low terraces subject to overflow.
The purpose of the work is to provide sand and gravel fill for farm road
maintenance on the owners property. Plans showing ^e work are _nc'_uded w?t
this aublic notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to ebcain any required State authorization. No
2
Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated Statw
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality
Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean!
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the
comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this site is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for
inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes
the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and
he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown
archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or
destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that
the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat,
designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires w
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. T`.e
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and _f so the conditions under whic
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral reeds, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
3
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and
to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA)
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Acz. The NCDEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the NCDEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM?), 4401 Reedy Creek Road,
Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any
person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) plans to
take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or
after December 6, 1994.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clear.
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 4401 Reedy Creek Road,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607, on or before November 11, 1994, Attention:
Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. John Thomas, until 4:15 p.m.,
November 18, 1994, or telephone [phone], Extension 25.

PUBLIC NOTICE
MR. ROBERT L. DELAPP, 5622 HWY 150 NORTH, LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
27292 has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO EXCAVATE SAND
AND GRAVEL BY DRAGLINE DREDGE FROM MUDDY CREEK TO BE USED FOR FARM ROAD
MAINTENANCE FILL, ON PROPERTY LOCATED OFF NIFONG ROAD (S.R. 1497), WEST OF
ARCADIA, DAVIDSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative
of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that the
applicant proposes to dip annually a maximum of 20,000 cubic yards of creek
sand and gravel. Site inspections showed the property has been used as a sand
mining site during a previous ownership. The dates of this earlier operation
could not be determined. The sand dipping operation would impact 125,000
square feet (2.87 acres) of creek bottom by excavation. The sand and gravel
would be removed from the creek by a dragline to a depth of 6-15 feet deep
below the creek bottom. The area of excavation is 50 feet wide by 2500 feet
long. Excavated material will be temporarily stockpiled on the adjacent high
ground ridges and later removed by dump trucks.
The site consists of a typical piedmont riverine system, characterized by
the creek channel confined within adjacent, upland ridges. These high ground
ridges consist of open farm pastures. The average depth of the water where
the excavation is proposed is approximately 3 to 6 feet.
Excavated material will be temporarily stored within a cleared areas
(about 75-100 feet wide) along the upland ridge. These areas are sparsely
vegetated by a few herbaceous plants: smartweed, ragweed, and pokeberry.
Wooded areas adjacent to the cleared stockpile area are vegetated by sycamore,
elm, sweetgum and red maple. Beyond the wooded buffer are open farm pastures.
The soils could be characterized as moderately well drained or well drained on
first bottoms and low terraces subject to overflow.
The purpose of the work is to provide sand and gravel fill for farm road
maintenance on the owners property. Plans showing the work are included with
this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
3
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and

Dear Dr. Wright:
AM

In keeping with your request, this office has circulated to interested state review agencies
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice and Action ID. No. 199500035 dated October
20, 1994 which describes a project proposal by Mr. Robert L. Delapp of Lexington. The
project, involving sand mining to be used for farm road maintenance, is located on Muddy
Creek, west of Arcadia, in Davidson County.
Four of our cooperating agencies submitted important comments on this request. These
agencies and the comment of each follow:
Division of Land Resources - notes that the size of disturbed area would key the
requirement for a mining permit. The applicant should, therefore, be reminded
that the material must be used on his own property as described in the Notice.
If the material is hauled elsewhere, a mining permit is required;
Division of Archives and History - recommended in a joint memorandum, sub-
mitted earlier, an archaeological survey. We note a letter to the applicant
in December from your office informing the applicant of this recommendation;
Division of Environmental Management - for the record, issued the required
Section 401 Water Quality Certification on December 6, 1994. Certification
provides the standard turbidity safeguard;
Wildlife Resources Commission coxened general
recommendations ern over this type of
operation and submitted several re
1) We recommend that the applicant utilize a hydraulic dredge rather than
a dragline.

2) Strict erosion and sedimentation control measures should be imple-
mented and maintained. Berms should be constructed between disturbed
areas and stream banks.
3) Sediment ponds should be maintained regularly to reduce impacts from
sediment overflow.
4) Bank disturbance should be minimized and limited to access points. A
50-foot natural vegetated buffer should be maintained along Muddy Creek
to reduce bank erosion and sedimentation. Trees in this 50-foot buffer
should be retained. Other areas in and around the mine area, that are
not being used for processing or stockpiling, should be left in natural
vegetation. Disturbed areas should be replanted with small grains (i.e.,
wheat, millet or rye) and allowed to revert to natural vegetation.
Stream banks where natural vegetation is disturbed should be revege-
tated promptly when the mine will be inactive for more than thirty (30)
days. In fall, fescue and rye should be used; and in spring, oats should
be used.
5) Existing wetland areas should be protected from mining activities and
runoff from all disturbed or stockpile areas.
6) Excavation operations should be prohibited during the fish spawning
season, March through May.
Should you require additional input from the state on this matter, do not hesitate to
contact this office or the commenting agencies.
Very sincerely,
