The proposed lend use is compatible with surrounding lend use. It is the County's responsibility to insure operations within the County are in conplinnce with the County's land use plans end we do not intend to abrogate any of that authority or responsibility to the Division of Minerals and Geology. 2. Exhibit C has been revised to show the telephone line buried along the west ROW of County Road 47.5. 3. The materiels located in the stratum immediately beneath the material beinq_ Wined is alluvial material similar to the materials beina_ mined. Depth of mining at this location is actually limited by the ground water table not the availability of materials. 4. Each phase of mining will be approximately 13-14 acres in size. 5. The proposed final use of the mined Brea will be to store equipment and materials used by the Road and Bridge Department. The area is located in an agricultural area and has several large farms near it. The headcuarters of a large farm operation is directly southwest of the affected land. This area has storage buildings, shop buildings, equipment storage areas, and material storage areas associated with their farm operation. The use of the land as a storage area will be consistent with other operations in the area. 6. Topsoil stockpiles that remain in a pile for more than one growing season will be seeded with a cover crop such as crested wheatgrass to protect the pile. 7. The pit will be a dry pit. If any change in this condition develops in the future we will amend the permit to reflect such change. 8. Any water used at the pit will be hauled to the site fron an approved water source such as the Town of Saguache.
