g. During mining operations a minimum slope of 3H:1 V will be <br />maintained by pushing material uphill and loading from the top of the <br />affected area. <br />h. There will be not fuel storage tanks used in the proposed pit area. Fuel <br />will be brought in daily for any machines being used in the pit area. <br />i. There will be no setback from the north edge of the permitted area. <br />3. There would appear to be no waste rock or material at the site. <br />4. The original pit opened was accessed with a northward extension of Co. Rd. LL <br />to Surveyor Creek. With the amendment filed in 2013, access moved to the <br />east, directly south of the new area of mining focus. This roadway was <br />approved by the landowner and is to remain intact as the pit is closed for her <br />future use. <br />5. There will be no shop, plant, or other facilities located at the mine site. The <br />equipment used to mine the gravel will be primarily a front-end loader and <br />trucks. A bulldozer and a scraper may be employed. <br />5. No water is anticipated in conjunction with the operation. There could be <br />instances when heavy rainfall makes the site too wet to continue. At those <br />times, mining will simply cease until the site becomes dry enough to mine <br />again. <br />7. Mining will not go into the groundwater at the site. <br />8. Since no water is to be used, there should be no injury to existing water rights. <br />9. No refuse, acid, or toxic producing materials are anticipated at the site. Other <br />mining enterprises in this part of Washington County have never yielded any <br />such materials. <br />10. The commodities to be mined are gravel, clay, and sand. <br />11. No explosives will be used in this operation. <br />
