J & B Mining proposes to operate a private gravel and peat mining operation, for approximately ten years. Approximately 1,190,000 cubic yards of material will be mined from approximately 39.42 acres of the 60.23 acre site. The gravel mined will be processed on Site or hauled to a local asphalt facility located approximately 1A-mile south of the Site. The peat mined will be processed on site or hauled off site by independent haulers via 225th Avenue. At the conclusion of mining, the site will serve as waterfowl habitat and a potential fishing pond. Give a complete description of the proposed project and related new construction. Attach additional sheets as necessary. Emphasize construction, operation methods and features that will cause physical manipulation of the environment or will produce wastes. Include modifications to existing equipment or industrial processes and significant demolition, removal or remodeling of existing structures. Indicate the timing and duration of construction activities. J & B Mining will propose through the submittal of a conditional use permit application to the City of Elk River (the City) the mining of gravel and peat on an approximate 60.23 acre site in the northern portion of Elk River located just outside of the designated mining districts (the Site). The location of the Site is illustrated on Figures 1 and 2 in Attachment A. The proposed gravel and peat mining location is situated on two private properties owned by J & B Mining. The aerial extent of the mining is approximately 39.42 acres and the proposed duration of the mining is 10 years. The gravel mining operation will include mining, processing, stockpiling, and hauling of gravel and peat to construction and road project sites. A portable crusher may be utilized on site periodically by an outside contractor under their Air Quality/Mining and Processing Permit and the proposed operation does include gravel washing on a periodic basis. Recycling of asphalt and concrete materials is also proposed in the northwest portion of the site. Mining will be conducted to the grades indicated on the mining plan (see Figure 4 in Attachment A). As a mining area is opened, topsoil will be stripped from the designated area and stockpiled on-site for later use in site restoration. The gravel mined will be processed on Site or hauled to a local asphalt facility located
