Document Description
A new 15-year permit term for a previously approved rock quarry surface mining operation which has been permitted and operating for the past ten years. The project includes a Conditional Use Permit, Surface Mining Permit, Reclamation Plan, and review of financial assurance cost estimates for a surface mining operation involving an open pit upland rock quarry with a proposed total extraction of 90,000 cubic yards over a 15-year period from an open pit mine. The method of surface rock removal will involve the use of explosives and an air track drill spaced on an 8'-10' grid pattern back from the rock face. Other equipment to be used includes a "cat 966 loader", a "cat D-7 crawler", and a grizzly dry screen sorter. Rock products will be hauled by end-dump trucks. Truck trips are estimated at an average daily traffic increase of five. Aggregate production will be conducted by a three man crew on a demand basis and portable toilet facilities will be provided for on site employees.
