_2, <br />ATTACHMENT <br />Conditions for HAZELTINE MINE, ADAMS COUNTY gravel operation <br />July 2, 2004 <br />1. Operations are limited to the hours between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and <br />8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays with no operation allowed on Sundays. When <br />electricity is available, no diesel equipment may be used on site if there is suitable <br />electric equipment that can do the job. This is intended to reduce the noise of <br />operations and to limit operations to daytime hours during the week and limited hours on <br />weekends. <br />2. Construction of a twenty (20) foot high landscaped berm along the entire eastern <br />property line, and a similar twelve (12) foot high berm along the 104u side. The berms <br />should undulate (horizontally and vertically) in places to provide visual interest and the <br />majority of landscaping should be planted in front of the berm to allow the berm to be <br />removed after the operation ceases, without eliminating the established vegetation and <br />landscape. Some of the landscaping should be planted on the berm in locations where it <br />would look natural to remain after the mining ceases. The side slopes of the berm <br />should not exceed 3:1 and should be decreased in some areas to approach 8:1 to <br />eliminate the levee appearance. Additional landscaping material should be clustered in <br />the lower undulations to offset the loss of berm height. <br />3. Use of electric dredge and electric de-watering in order to reduce noise levels produced <br />from site. The backup alarms for all equipment should be set to the lowest (quietest) <br />setting, which still meets Federal safety standards. <br />4. All site lighting should be downward facing to reduce glare to surrounding properties and <br />the site lighting should not be allowed to exceed one (1) foot candle at the property lines. <br />5. Urethane or similar noise reducing material should be used to line all chutes. <br />6. Install a sprinkler system that will wet any road surfaces in the pit area, and any other <br />areas that mitigate a dust problem. <br />7. Exclude from mining area 150 feet from the fence line on the southern and eastern <br />boundaries. <br />8. Mining operation should be limited to three (3) years from the date permit is granted, <br />and all reclamation should be completed no later than one (1) year following the <br />termination of the mining operation. <br />
