Under most circumstances, the following activities would not fall within the
definition of the term "mining":
The excavation, use and disposal of the material will occur on a parcel of
private property owned and controlled by the same person, or on pazcels of
private property (owned and controlled by the same person) that aze
contiguous. (Non-contiguous pazcels shall be reviewed by the Boazd.) This
exemption shall only apply to ranches and farmlands where the material is
used on the parcel(s) to maintain agricultural operations. (Agricultural
zoning of a parcel(s) is indicative of the maintenance of agricultural
operations.) This exemption shall not apply to residential or commercial
developments or the prepazation of such lands for residential or commercial
developments; or
2. Hand tools and lightweight, rubber-tired vehicles are used to. extract and
transport the material off site, and there will be only incidental surface
disturbance; or
3. The excavation of material is part of a project that is subject to government
review and permitting. The approved government permits ensure a
beneficial use of the site affected by the material extraction. The intended
off site use of the extracted material is clearly incidental to the project.
