3. Amend the use permit for an existing quarry mining operation to extend the termination date of the operation from February 22, 2010, to December 31, 2072; and to expand the quarry area from 53.57 acres to 110.24 acres; and
4. Amend the reclamation plan to include the 56.67-acre expansion area of the quarry.
All other aspects of the mining operation would remain substantially the same, including the annual volume of aggregate produced, the truck traffic, noise, air emissions, etc.
