Request For Amendment <br /> Enciosed is a request for amendment for mining p rmit # M-85- <br /> 212 which is held by Neil C . Sprague and Arlis M Sorag e aka Arkins <br /> Park Stone Corp . The amendment is for the portion Known as Arkins <br /> Park South . On Site G , Trulop quarry , delete 1 . 84 acr s , which was <br /> never disturbed , and add it to site F which now to] lows the general <br /> contour of the mountain as the west , south and north b undaries and <br /> the old railroad bed as the east boundary . Add site J wnicn is <br /> approximately 9 . 4 acres of which about 5 acres will actually be <br /> disturbed quarry ground and the balance will be usec for storage <br /> and processing of stone . This is an ideal area for the work as for <br /> the most part , it is out of site behind the ridge ol mountain to <br /> the west of Co . Rd . 27 . <br /> Over the process of time we have found that many times <br /> quarries must be abandoned because the stone in the quarry becomes <br /> too thick to be marketabie . Therefore we feel that tne purchase of <br /> a new type of block saw would be advantageous in that it would <br /> provide a use for the heretofore unusable larqe blocks . Also , most <br /> of the demand for stone is for flagstone , 1 "-2 thick . This type <br /> of product can be manufactured out of the large blocks that are now <br /> only building up waste in the rio-rap pile . This rew operation <br /> will be helpful to the environment in that it wil I lessen the <br /> buildup of waste stone in the quarries and keep the ri -rap smaller <br /> so it will be useable for lake till and ditch rip-ra . <br /> The saw and building will be accessible for our trucks to <br /> bring blocks for processing from roads on our own preinises . There <br /> should not be a lot of additional traffic generated on north County <br /> Road 27 . <br /> According to our records we had 1584 customer transactions <br /> last year . For a 300 day work year , it would average a few more <br /> than 5 customer transactions per bay plus an average or 10 <br /> employees cars ( including those that car pool ) , coming in for work <br /> or 15 per day . I would expect tnat the new operatiot would , over <br /> a length of time , increase our traffic by 25% or per aos average <br /> 4 to 5 more per day . Since most of our transactions are a full <br /> truce, ioa❑ deiivery , which we often make ourselves , tie saw may be <br /> operatirq several days netore a load of material wot ld be ready . <br /> ne gener& public will not oe permitted at the saw b ilding or in <br /> oiiarry areas . This operation will be establisned in Site E as <br /> rirst choice or Site h as second choice . <br />
