ENVIRONMENTAL LAND IISE POLICIES:
1. No degradation of air, water quality or require excessive
energy.
Possible conflict. Application for this land use change was
effected out of resident complaints of unclear air and environment
relative to the Somerset operation. Some measures have been taken
to initiate cleanup, and compliance with conditions of this, and
other permits, will further protect against degradation of air and
water quality in the area. Failure to comply with these conditions
will imply failure to mitigate these conflicts as well.

No conflict. Relocation of coal storage should have no impact
on soil and rock stability.
5. Preserve existing and natural drainage patterns.
No conflict. This relocation activity should have no effect
on drainage patterns.
RESIDENTIAL LAND IISE POLICIES:
1. Preserve existing residential character.
Possible conflict. The existence of dust and windblown fines
threatened the wellbeing of residents in Somerset, according to
testimony received from several reaidenta, who also contended these
conditions had not always been evident. If not corrected, the
character of the area as defined by those in the community could
remain in jeopardy. However, measures have been taken by Somerset
which have improved the operation (as testimony by some residents
also indicated), and completion of this relocation as outlined in
the application and subsequent documentation and meetings, should
substantially mitigate those concerns.
