Document Description
Approval of a Conditional Use / Surface Mining Permits and Reclamation Plan and review of Financial Assurances for intermittent extraction and processing at the Randall Quarry Maximum quarry production rates are to be limited to 50,000 cubic yards in any given year with an average annual rate of 35,000 cy. The permit term is for 15 years.
The site is an existing rock quarry previously permitted for the Humboldt County Public Works and was a source of material for road maintenance. The applicant proposes to operate the quarry as a private enterprise. The proposed site contains approximately 500,000 cy of tertiary marine material, i.e. sandstone, mudstone and shale, and eleven acres will be utilized for quarrying and processing activities. Material imported from off-site may continue to be stored and processed on site, and combined with quarry material to produce primarily road base materials. Rock will be used locally for highway construction projects, fish enhancement projects, rip rap, erosion control, rock slope protection and decorative rock.
