Title

EA SD 9-01; Conditional Use Permit No. 4, Map No. 218R

Description

A Conditional Use Permit to allow the expansion of a surface mining operation and development of a reclamation plan on 101.7 acres in accordance with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975. Request is to expand a 40-acre mining operation originally approved on January 26, 1978. That approval was limited to a 5-year period of time unless subsequent 5-year extensions of time were granted. Four such extensions have been granted since 1978. Material to be mined would continue to be sand and gravel and employ open pit mining techniques. As proposed, mining and associated activities would distrurb an additional 61.7 acres on 2 parcels totaling approximately 239 acres. Mining would continue to be phased (total of 4) with the existing pit to be backfilled with mine waste from each successive phase.
