Document Description
Syar filed an application for a Use Permit and Reclamation Plan to skin approximately 300,000 cubic yards of sand and gravel from built-up deposits on 110 acres of eight previously mined gravel bars adjacent to the Russian River in the Alexander Valley through an Adaptive Management Strategy. This request for a 15-year Use Permit will require amendments to the ARM Plan and SMARO. Syar proposes to use the Adaptive Management Strategy that allows for adjustments to the location and method of mining in response to the results of monitoring data. The objective of the instream management program is to maintain a balance between aggredation and degradation that reflects the natural recharge of aggregate, provide a source of high-quality aggregate materials, and maintain or increase the flood flow capacity of stream channels and reduce the potential for bank erosion.
