Wooten Sand Mining Special Use Permit Narrative About S.T. Wooten Founded and headquartered in North Carolina, S.T. Wooten has a 60-year history of corporate citizenship. As a family-owned business, headquartered in Wilson, N.C., the company employs approximately 900 people across the state. Valuing safety, quality and productivity, S.T. Wooten Corporation provides both construction materials and services across central and eastern North Carolina. It produces asphalt and ready mix concrete and offers heavy highway construction, grading, utilities, structures, concrete construction, asphalt paving, design-build, and commercial and residential construction. With a reputation for excellence, S.T. Wooten has been recognized at both the state and national levels for its quality and innovation. About the Site S.T. Wooten currently operates an asphalt plant and an existing borrow pit on a nearby 90-acre tract permitted by NCDENR in 2006. An adjacent 65-acre tract holds a 2012 “reclamation” mining permit, and serves as a source of fill (soil and sand) for the I-140 highway project. The additional 80-acre tract, that is the subject of the proposed Special Use Permit, is being purchased to expand the mining operations. When the highway project is completed, remaining volume of the combined properties will continue to serve as borrow pit / sand mine resources for filling the Duke Power coal ash pond rehabilitation efforts and directly servicing the existing asphalt plant on the adjacent property. As located in a Heavy Industrial (I-2) zone, the site meets all conditions and requirements of the zoning ordinances. Based on its location and purpose, the borrow pit will have little impact on its neighbors and the public. Minimal Impact To prepare the site, tree protection fencing and erosion control measures will be installed. Significant trees within the operations area have been surveyed & will be mitigated if necessary to remove them during clearing for the mining. The CSX Railroad has acknowledged that development of the new site as a borrow pit will not affect the neighboring rail line. Although there is no discharge of water from the pits beyond the property boundaries, there is still pumping from area to area while digging. As material is dug from the site, the water is shifted from basin to basin, but stays within the project and should not have any impact on local water quality. However, because this practice is still interpreted as “dewatering,” all mining operations and their associated activities shall be located a minimum of 100 feet from all property lines. Traffic will not exceed the amounts currently generated by the existing pit on the neighboring site. During the pit’s initial use on I-140, the project is approximately a quarter-mile away. For subsequent projects, the site is very close to US-421, a divided four-lane highway and a major thoroughfare. Trucks will cross no residential roads or areas on the short trip between the site and 421. All employee parking will be on site, with two to three employees expected. The pit will be completely enclosed by a security fence. Operations take place during daylight hours, minimizing the impact of noise. Per local, state and federal regulations, dust and silica emissions will be contained to the property by regular water spraying. Engineering controls will be used to mitigate exposure to dust for employees and neighbors. Mining procedures will conform to OSHA and MSHA regulations. These operations cause no odor and no combustible materials will be stored on site. The company has received no complaints regarding the existing pits on the neighboring sites. Public Safety The safety of the pit itself is governed by state and federal agencies. S.T. Wooten’s Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is 0.76, 24 percent better than the national EMR contractor average of 1.00. S.T. Wooten currently operates 13 pits in eastern North Carolina. We are proud of our safety record for these pits and recently earned an MSHA Achievement of Safety, presented by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. S.T. Wooten’s Womble Pit achieved this recognition by logging more than 4,000 employee hours in 2011 with zero “no days lost” injuries. Operations Daily operations of digging and loading trucks will produce minimal effects on the public. A minimal amount of traditional excavation equipment will be used, including an excavator and a dredge. Excavation methods will not require dewatering. Based on the high permeability of the soils and topography on the site and our experience at the adjacent sand mine, there will minimal to no runoff from the property. Operations will usually take place during daylight hours, minimizing the impact of noise. The two or three employees required will park on site. Operations will cause no odor. No combustible materials will be stored on site. Per local, state and federal regulations, dust and silica emissions will be contained to the property by regular water spraying. Engineering controls will be used to mitigate exposure to dust for employees and neighbors. Mining procedures will conform to OSHA and MSHA regulations. The company has received no complaints regarding the existing pit on the neighboring site.
