Action ID No. 199402751
February 15, 1996
PUBLIC NOTICE
WADE MOORE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, Post Office Box 546, Louisburg,
North Carolina 27549 has applied for a Department of the Army
(DA) after-the-fact permit TO AUTHORIZE THE EXCAVATION OF SAND BY
DRAGLINE FROM THE TAR RIVER, TO BE USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF
MORTAR SAND AND CONCRETE SAND, ON PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF
LOUISBURG, in Franklin County, North Carolina.
This public notice does not imply, on the parts of the Corps
of Engineers or other agencies, either favorable or unfavorable
opinion of the work performed; but it is issued to solicit
comments regarding the factors on which a final decision will be
based. Legal action has 'een suspended pending the outcome of
this consideration.
The following descrip=ion 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. The
applicant has recently excavated sand within 2 separate,
previously-undisturbed sections of the Tar River, referred to as
the Fleming Pit and the Kemp Pit, without DA permit
authorization. The Kemp Pit is located immediately upstream of
an area from which sand has been excavated for over 15 years,
while the Fleming pit is =ocated at the applicant's westernmost
property boundary. Excavation at the Kemp Pit has impacted 1.03
acre (750' X 601) of rive= bottom, while the Fleming Pit has
impacted 1.55 acre (1128' X 60'). These activities have resulted
in the removal of approximately 6,000 tons (approximately 5,000
cubic yards) of material within the past year.
Plan submitted with =he application depict the continued
mining o L'W,8 linear fee= of river at the Kemp Pit, while
reducing the excavation limits from 750 linear feet to 250 linear
feet at the Fleming Pit. :he width of the excavation limits will
remain 60 feet. The sand is removed from the river by a dragline
to a depth of 12-15 feet below the river bottom. Excavated
material is then temporar_ly stockpiled on the adjacent high
ground ridge and later removed by dump trucks to the processing
plant. No excavation wit:-in the river is performed between
April 1 and July 31 of any year to prevent the disruption of fish
spawning.
*0
-2-
The worksite consists of a typ'cal piedmont riverine system,
characterized by the river channel confined within adjacent
upland ridges. This high ground e•:entually grades into isolated
wet=and areas farther away from the river. The average depth of
the water where the excavation has occurred and will occur in the
fut-.:re averages 1 foot or less dur-ng the growing season. Sand
bars are located in the area where the material is excavated,
with the river meandering through :hem in a braided manner.
Excavated material is temporarily stored within a cleared
area (about 75-110 feet wide) along the high ground ridge. The
are_ between the river and the access road is about 25 feet wide
ant has been recently cleared of ':s vegetation. The vegetation
was cut at the surface, leaving the root mats in place to
statilize the river bank; however, not enough time has elapsed to
al=z-4 for the area to revegetate. The Franklin County Soil
Sur-:ey characterizes the soils in =his area to be a Riverview ant
Bunzombe Association and appear tc be well drained.
The purpose of the work is to obtain sand for use in the
prc-uction of mortar and concrete sand for commercial use. Plans
shc-,.ing the work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice tc
de-ermine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State
au--'-orization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will be
iss-.:ed until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has
been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit
be =ssued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a Water
Qu:-_ity Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404
of -he Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request,
in ,rri.ting within the comment period specified in the notice,
tha= a public hearing be held to consider this application.
Req-.:ests 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 cf Historic Places for the
presence or absence of registered properties, or properties
listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is
no- registered property or proper:y listed as being eligible for
inc_usion in the Register. Consu_tation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultura_ 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
wor:f under the requested permit.
P0
-3-
The District Engineer, based on available information, has
consulted with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and
has been informed that the Tar River is designated as critical
habitat for the Tar spinymussel. Consequently, the unauthorized
excavation activities undertaken and proposed could have or may
affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as
endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species :pct
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 andlts intended use on the public
interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed
activity may have on the public interest requires a 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 rust be balanced against its
reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to
authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it
will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the oL_come
of the general balancing process. That decision should ref_ect
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 needs, 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 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, eater
quality, general environmental effects and the other public

-4-
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 Act. 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), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh,
North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to
any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the
application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in
writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM), Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27611-7687, on or before March 8, 1996, Attention:
Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined
above, will be received in this office, Attention:
Mrs. Jean B. Manuele, until 4:15 p.m., March 15, 1996, or

Dew 1. Manue1e:
you for the opportunity to comment on the application by Wade Moore Equipment
y for an "after-tlwfact permit" to authorize excavation of sand from the Tar River.
submitting the following comments on behalf of the Pamlico-Tar River Foundation
an environmental organization of 1700 members from throughout the Tar-Pamlico
River watershed.
PTRF believes that the permit applicant has violated the Clean Water Act by conducting its
mating activity without a permit. The applicant should be subject to the applicable penalties
for this violation.
This violation has occurred in the Tau River in Franklin County. River water quality in
Franklin County, and throughout the Tar-Pamlico watershed, is already stressed by multiple
pollution sources. Additional unMmItted sources, such as the applicant's activity,
exacerbate existing degradation and should be enforced against.
Not only does the applicant's unpermittod activity threaten water quality, it also could
degrade the habitat for an a WnSered species. Habitat for the Tar River spiny mussel
(Elllpolo sreinsumana), a federally listed endangered species, occurs in the Tar River in
Franklin and Nash counties. The applicant's project site also oaaurs in the habitat of several
other federal candidate species ("specials of special concern`): yellow lamp mussel (Lampsllis
carfosa), yellow lance (Mliptlo lm molata), and Atlantic pigtoe (Fhswnata mosono. The
applicant's unpermitted activity is a threat to the habitat of these rare species.
The Tar-Pamlico River is a critical environmental and economic resource to eastern North
Carolina. The river has experienced high levels of pollution stress from permitted sources,
let alone unpermitted sources of pollution. Users of the resources of this region must all be

responsible for protecting the river. All businesses and other organintions that conduct
regulated activities are subject to permit requirements; the applicant should have complied
with these requimnents. MF asks that the permit applicant's action be tromted as a
violation and that the "after-the-fad' permit be denied,

PUBLIC NOTICE
WADE MOORE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, Post Office Box 546, Louisburg,
North Carolina 27549 has applied for a Department of the Army
(DA) after-the-fact permit TO AUTHORIZE THE EXCAVATION OF SAND BY
DRAGLINE FROM THE TAR RIVER, TO BE USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF
MORTAR SAND AND CONCRETE SAND, ON PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF
LOUISBURG, in Franklin County, North Carolina.
This public notice does not imply, on the parts of the Corps
of Engineers or other agencies, either favorable or unfavorable
opinion of the work performed; but it is issued to solicit
comments regarding the factors on which a final decision will be
based. Legal action has been suspended pending the outcome of
this consideration.
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. The
applicant has recently excavated sand within 2 separate,
previously-undisturbed sections of the Tar River, referred to as
the Fleming Pit and the Kemp Pit, without DA permit
authorization. The Kemp Pit is located immediately upstream of
an area from which sand has been excavated for over 15 years,
while the Fleming pit is located at the applicant's westernmost
property boundary. Excavation at the Kemp Pit has impacted 1.03
acre (750' X 60') of river bottom, while the Fleming Pit has
impacted 1.55 acre (1128' X 601). These activities have resulted
in the removal of approximately 6,000 tons (approximately 5,000
cubic yards) of material within the past year.
Plans submitted with the application depict the continued
mining of 1128 linear feet of river at the Kemp Pit, while
reducing the excavation limits from 750 linear feet to 250 linear
feet at the Fleming Pit. The width of the excavation limits will
remain 60 feet. The sand is removed from the river by a dragline
to a depth of 12-15 feet below the river bottom. Excavated
material is then temporarily stockpiled on the adjacent high
ground ridge and later removed by dump trucks to the processing
plant. No excavation within the river is performed between
April 1 and July 31 of any year to prevent the disruption of fish
spawning.

The worksite consists of a typical piedmont riverine system,
characterized by the river channel confined within adjacent
upland ridges. This high ground eventually grades into isolated
wetland areas farther away from the river. The average depth of
the water where the excavation has occurred and will occur in the
future averages 1 foot or less during the growing season. Sand
bars are located in the area where the material is excavated,
with the river meandering through them in a braided manner.
Excavated material is temporarily stored within a cleared
area (about 75-110 feet wide) along the high ground ridge. The
area between the river and the access road is about 25 feet wide
and has been recently cleared of its vegetation. The vegetation
was cut at the surface, leaving the root mats in place to
stabilize the river bank; however, not enough time has elapsed to
allow for the area to revegetate. The Franklin County Soil
Survey characterizes the soils in this area to be a Riverview and
Buncombe Association and appear to be well drained.
The purpose of the work is to obtain sand for use in the
production of mortar and concrete sand for commercial use. 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 Department of the Army (DA) permit will be
issued until the coordinated State 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, has
consulted with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and
has been informed that the Tar River is designated as critical
habitat for the Tar spinymussel. Consequently, the unauthorized
excavation activities undertaken and proposed could have or may
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 a 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. The decision whether to
authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which 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 needs, 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 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
-4-
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 Act. 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

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
Action ID No. 199402751
February 15, 1996
PUBLIC NOTICE
WADE MOORE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, Post Office Box 546, Louisburg,
North Carolina 27549 has applied for a Department of the Army
(DA) after-the-fact permit TO AUTHORIZE THE EXCAVATION OF SAND BY
DRAGLINE FROM THE TAR RIVER, TO BE USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF
MORTAR SAND AND CONCRETE SAND, ON PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF
LOUISBURG, in Franklin County, North Carolina.
This public notice does not imply, on the parts of the Corps
of Engineers or other agencies, either favorable or unfavorable
opinion of the work performed; but it is issued to solicit
comments regarding the factors on which a final decision will be
based. Legal action has been suspended pending the outcome of
this consideration.
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. The
applicant has recently excavated sand within 2 separate,
previously-undisturbed sections of the Tar River, referred to as
the Fleming Pit and the Kemp Pit, without DA permit
authorization. The Kemp Pit is located immediately upstream of
an area from which sand has been excavated for over 15 years,
while the Fleming pit is located at the applicant's westernmost
property boundary. Excavation at the Kemp Pit has impacted 1.03
acre (750' X 60') of river bottom, while the Fleming Pit has
impacted 1.55 acre (1128' X 601). These activities have resulted
in the removal of approximately 6,000 tons (approximately 5,000
cubic yards) of material within the past year.
Plans submitted with the application depict the continued
mining of 1128 linear feet of river at the Kemp Pit, while
reducing the excavation limits from 750 linear feet to 250 linear
feet at the Fleming Pit. The width of the excavation limits will
remain 60 feet. The sand is removed from the river by a dragline
to a depth of 12-15 feet below the river bottom. Excavated
material is then temporarily stockpiled on the adjacent high
ground ridge and later removed by dump trucks to the processing
plant. No excavation within the river is performed between
April 1 and July 31 of any year to prevent the disruption of fish
spawning.

-2-
The worksite consists of a typical piedmont riverine system,
characterized by the river channel confined within adjacent
upland ridges. This high ground eventually grades into isolated
wetland areas farther away from the river. The average depth of
the water where the excavation has occurred and will occur in the
future averages 1 foot or less during the growing season. Sand
bars are located in the area where the material is excavated,
with the river meandering through them in a braided manner.
Excavated material is temporarily stored within a cleared
area (about 75-110 feet wide) along the high ground ridge. The
area between the river and the access road is about 25 feet wide
and has been recently cleared of its vegetation. The vegetation
was cut at the surface, leaving the root mats in place to
stabilize the river bank; however, not enough time has elapsed to
allow for the area to revegetate. The Franklin County Soil
Survey characterizes the soils in this area to be a Riverview and
Buncombe Association and appear to be well drained.
The purpose of the work is to obtain sand for use in the
production of mortar and concrete sand for commercial use. 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 Department of the Army (DA) permit will be
issued until the coordinated State 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.
lot
-3-
The District Engineer, based on available information, has
consulted with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and
has been informed that the Tar River is designated as critical
habitat for the Tar spinymussel. Consequently, the unauthorized
excavation activities undertaken and proposed could have or may
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 a 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. The decision whether to
authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which 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 needs, 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 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.

public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian
Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Wade Moore Equipment Company for
an after-the-fact Department of the Army permit and a State Water
Quality Certification to authorize the previously accomplished and
proposed future excavation of sand from the Tar River for use as
mortar and concrete sand, at the Kemp and Fleming Pits located on the
south side of S.R. 1600, east of Louisburg, in Franklin, North
Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a
valid request for certification in accordance with Section
325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a
water quality certification is required under the provisions of
Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not
be granted until the certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases,
60 days after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable
time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request,
or asked for an extension of time, by March 13, 1996, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mrs. Jean B. Manuele,
Raleigh Field Office, telephone [phone], Extension 24.
Sincerely,
S. Kenneth Jolly
