Document Description
The project is: (1) to modify the operational limitations imposed by the Conditional Use Permit 87-CP-029 RV01 under which the facility currently operates, (2) to expand the mining area by nine acres, (3) to increase the current 175,000 tons/year production limit to a five year rolling average of 300,000 tons/year with a maximum of 400,000 tons in any given year, and (4) to clarify the condition requiring avoidance of truck departures during the morning peak hour traffic (the request is to prohibit soutbound loaded truck traffic thus allowing unrestricted unloaded truck arrivals and loaded northbound departures). The mining area would increase from 22.5 to 31.5 acres. The amount of limestone to be extracted would increase by approximately 4 million tons to 11.7 million tons. Mining would continue to the year 2043. The proposed reclamation plan describes the geometry of the final reclaimed surface and the revegetation methods to be used, including the planting of 100 oak trees and the seeding of the final surface with native species.
