beneficial reuse. The site is located in an area that has been identified <br />as containing high quality aggregate reserves and as such was included <br />in the City of Elk River's 1994 Gravel Mining District Environmental <br />Impact Statement'. The site was subsequently included in the Mineral <br />Extraction Overlay District as indicated on the current City of Elk River <br />Zoning Map. The site will serve the growing needs of Elk River and the <br />surrounding area. <br />5.) Estimated time required to complete the proposed extraction and <br />rehabilitation: <br />Active mining will occur in phases. Site reclamation will also occur in <br />phases as feasible. It is estimated that the overall site will be active for <br />approximately 20 to 50 years. This is an estimate based on current and <br />recent past market demand. The actual life of the facility will depend <br />upon future market conditions. <br />6.) Transportation Routes: <br />Existing access to and from the site is on 217t" Ave. NW, a private road <br />running through Outlot B of Aggregate Commercial (a recorded plat). <br />There is a northbound right turn lane and a south bound left turn lane <br />currently in place from U.S. Highway 169 to 217t" Ave. NW. Tiller has <br />been in touch with MN/DOT to discuss truck access to U.S. Highway <br />169. MN/DOT has suggested certain improvements to better <br />accommodate truck access to U.S. Highway 169. Tiller will continue to <br />work with MN/DOT to explore access options and/or improvements to <br />US Highway 169. These access options or improvements will be <br />implemented before any product or materials are hauled from the site. <br />7.)
