It has come to my attention that there is a discussion taking place between the Division of Minerals and Geology staff and the Delta Sarrd and Gravel Co. concerning the approval of these permits. In particular, the problems seems to be whether the processing areas near Fit #3 in Paiona and the processing site in Delta (Delta plant) were in use prior to and for the sole purpose of processing material from all the Uelta pits in the market area. I was the consultant that prepared the applications and represented Delta Sand and Gravel in March, 1977 when they came before the MILRB. I do not recall if this was specifically discussed at that time, but know that we stated in both permit applications that materials mined from these pits would be processed oCfsite. There were three pits operated by Delta Sand and Gravel when the Law went into affect and the Delta Plant and the Paiona site existed prior. to the ].aw also. The fact that processing has always taken place off the mine sites wrs reconfirmed for Pit #1 on page 7 of the 1980 Conversion application tY:at should be in your files. While the exact location of the processing site was not spelled out in the applications, the material was haule3 to tiro site in Delta where the main offices and concrete batch plant facilities are located. 'There are a three reasons this was done: 7) ':wo of the gravel pits operated by Delta at that time were iocate~3 in are:- ti~at were inunda*_ed by flood waters yearly and it was nec~~~sary to process off' site for safet}' r'ea; ons.
