Klamath River Aggregates Conditional Use and Surface Mining Permits/Reclamation

A new 15-year permit term for a previously approved hard rock quarry surface mining operation, i.e. excavation and processing. The project includes a Conditional Use Permit, Surface Mining Permit, Reclamation Plan, and review of financial assurance cost estimates for the continued operation of a hard rock quarry for an average annual extraction of 12,500 cubic yards (with a 20,000 cubic yard peak) during fifteen (15) year period. The quarry is operated intermittently. The operation was previously approved June 4, 1987 with a modification approved January 7, 1988 to authorize the intermittent placement and operation of a portable rock crusher. The operation will primarily involve: extraction, sorting, crushing and grading; occasional blasting; on-site road and staging area improvements; storage of rocks, loading activities; hauling by truck; erosion control; and incidental and final reclamation.
