The neighbors had the typical <br />concerns with dust, noise, etc. The conditions proposed by staff to address <br />these concerns seemed agreeable to those at this meeting. The neighbors <br />where also in agreement to allow Bauerly Bros. a chance to see if they could <br />crush gravel 24 hours a day and not be an intrusion to the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Bauerly Bros. had a further meeting with Jeff Lawson, who is the closest <br />neighbor to the proposed haul road. This haul road is proposed to be in the <br />location indicated on the attached site plan for the life of the pit. A letter <br />from Mr. Lawson is attached. <br /> <br />Staff received additional comments from a neighboring resident who was not <br />at the staff facilitated meeting. This resident was not against mining on this <br />property, but strongly recommended that berms be placed adjacent to 225th <br />Avenue and that this road be blacktopped by Bauerly Bros. to hold dust down <br />and for safety sake. Staff also asked the city engineer to review the safety <br />issue on 225th Avenue, his memo on this subject is attached. <br /> <br />GROUND WATER <br /> <br />In the mineral excavation EIS ground water levels under this site have been <br />estimated between 943 feet and 945 feet above mean sea level. Bauerly Bros. <br />are proposing to mine to an elevation of 947. <br /> <br />Mining can take place below ground water, but concerns for protecting it <br />increase. Staff is recommending Bauerly Bros. are a minimum of three feet <br />above ground water with their mining operation. <br /> <br />f.'\shrdoc\b &z\stever\baurcup.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
