The project is located near Wadesbor<?, NC in Anson County. The site is bordered by NC 52 onthe west, Winston-Salem Southbound Railroad on. the east, and is bisected by Airport Road (SRl645); as shown on the enclosed vicinity map, The wetland delineation has been reviewed in the field and approved by Mr. Michael Hosey of the U.S, Army Corps of Engineers. It will be necessary to impact 3.25 acres (see map) of jurisdictional wetland and Uwaters of the US" for excavation of the initial mining areas. Only 3996 square feet (0,09 acres) of the total is vegetated wetland. The balance is comprised of ponds and bank to bank stream channels. In order to minimize impacts, the largest pocket of vegetated wetland (bottomland hardwood forest) on the property (26,765 square feet) was excluded fr9m the initial mining areas. Potential future impacts to wetlands in the future reserve area (see map) are not included in this application, . A sedimentation/ erosion control plan, complete with a wet detention pond, will be included in the project.plans. However, the individual impacts resulting from the sediment pond shown on the map were not separated out as ultimately all portions of the initial mining area will be excavated, After reclamation the site will be left occupied by a pond or ponds totaling several hundred acres. The subsequent creation of deepwater habitat and natural conversion of the pond margin to wetland will offsetlosses caused by construction. The construction of this project will ultimately increase most wetland values. Water Soil/Site Evaluation . Mapping an~ Physical Analysis . Wetlands Mapping and Mitigation . Environmental Audits On-Site Waste Treatment Systems, Evaluation and Design storage, recreation, pollutant removal and aquatic habitat values Will significantly increase. The value of the small (3996 sq. ft.) vegetated wetland pocket to be impacted is very low; It could best be described as a cutover headwater forest; dominated by red maple and ash saplings, with blackberry and greenbrier. Please call if you have questions or require further information. If you intend to perform a site visit please call and we will arrange for someone to accompany you. Sincerely, ~?~ James F.

Action ID No. 199602716 and Nationwide Permit No. 26 Ms. Elizabeth L. Taylor 115 East Wade Street Wadesboro, North Carolina 28170 Dear Ms. Taylor: Reference your application of December 21, 1995, for Department of the Army (DA) authorization to excavate 3.25 acres of wetlands above the headwaters of Grindstone Creek to establish a brick quarry on your property located on both sides of SR1645 near Wadesboro, Anson County, North Carolina. For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided by Nationwide Permit No. 26 for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters. Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and any required State authorization. A Section 401 water quality certification is required from the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. Contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone (919) 733-1786 for this certification. This nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local approval. This verification will be valid until the nationwide permit is modified, reissued or revoked, which will occur prior to January 21, 1997. It is incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to the nationwide permits, which will be announced by public notice when they occur. If you commence, or are under contract to commence, this activity before the date the nationwide permit is modified or revoked, you will have twelve months from the date of the modification or revocation, to complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of this nationwide permit. Questions or comments may be addressed to me at telephone (910) 251-4441. Sincerely, Michael L. Hosey II Regulatory Specialist Enclosure Printed on e Recycled Papar If -...

Taylor's request for Nationwide Permit 26 and Section 401 Certification to excavate wetlands for the establishment of the Triangle Brick Quarry Project, Anson CoWltYt North Carolina. DEM ID #951314 TO: DATE: SUBJECT: Biologists on the Wildlife Resources Commission s1affhave reviewed the subject document and are familiar with habitat values of the project area. An on-site investigation was conducted with Jamie Shorn, Soil and Environmental Consultants, Inc., KcnAvQritte, OEM, and fid Buchan. OEM, on January 19, 1996 for the purpose of further assessing project impacts on aquatic habitats. Our comments are provided in acconlance with certain provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C, 466 et seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C, 661-667d)and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. J 13-131 et seq.). Appli~t propose!!) to excavate 3.25 acres of wetlands on it 300-acre site in the process of mining associated with the establishment of the Triangle Brick Quarry Project. The site was previously in the Conservation Reserve Program and most of it is planted in pines. At least two areas of hordwoods have been clear-cut recently. . Ponds make up 2.64 acres ofimpac~ one ofwhiclt (A on the Site Plan and Wetland Impact Map) has been drained in recent months BOd fonns the headwaters of the longest stream segment 10 be impacted, approximately 2100 feet in length. The largest pond (C on map) forms the headwaters of approximat.c1y 900 feet of stream. Another stream segment, about 1100 feet long, crosses near the southern end of the project and receives runoff from adjacent agricultural lands. A smP}1 vegetated wetland (G on map), 0.09 acres, falls in the buffer to highway 52, Impacts to a 0.61 acre vegetated wetland (H on map) were avoided at this time by including it in the future reserves area. We request that the following conditions be incorporated into the permit to protect certain wetlunds and downstream habitats: NCWRC,HCP,FALLS LAKE TEL:919-528-9839 Jan 29'96 11:52 No.004 P.03 .. . Triangle Brick 951314 2 January 29, 1996 Avoid im~ts to stream segment labeledF on the map and wetland G by maintaining or establishing at leMt a l00-foot undisturbed natural buffer of native trees and shrubs along each side of this stream or wetland area. Area F is of particular importance for its filtering effect of potential pollutants from adjacent agricu1turallands. Implement up-front wetland mitigation at a ratio of 2: 1 (omated:destroyed) fOf every acre of wetlands impacted. A total of5.88 wetland acre!I would need to be created if the remainini 2.94 acres are impacted. Wetlands should be created in areas adjacent to streams or existing wetlands. For recommendations un establishing wetland vegetation, contact Ken Knight at (704) 982-1600. 3. Implement and strictly maintain a state approved erosion and sedimentation control plan designed to effectively settle out the fine particle size soils of the project site, particularly during stonn events.
