6.0 STANDARDS 6.1 Boundary: Extraction operations shall be conducted within the confines of the boundaries indicated within this application. 6.2 Setbacks: The Site will operate in compliance with setbacks established in the Mineral Excavation section of the City of Elk Rivers Code of Ordinances. Extraction operations shall not be conducted within five feet of the right -of -way of an existing public utility; 50 feet of the boundary of any zone where such extraction operations are not permitted, 30 feet of the boundary of an adjoining property which is not being used for extraction operations or within any required buffer zone or setback area on the applicants or any adjoining property. For the purposes of this application, a thirty three foot right of way from the centerline of Baldwin was assumed, although no easement currently exists. A thirty foot setback from the assumed right -of way has been provided for as illustrated on Sheet C2, Mine Plan. 6.3 Fencing: During extraction operations, access to any areas where collections of water are one and one -half feet in depth or more, or where extraction slopes are steeper than one foot vertical to one and one - half feet horizontal, and any other areas where obvious danger to the public exists shall be controlled by a four foot tall fence with support posts spaced every ten feet. 6.4 Appearance and Screening: All equipment will be kept operational. Abandoned equipment and rubbish will be periodically removed from the Site. Reclamation will begin as soon as practicable after each mining phase is complete. The Site will be graded in accordance with the reclamation plan. A screening berm may be constructed, seeded, mulched and maintained alongthe boundaries of the Site. Maintenance of the wooded setback areas will minimize visual impacts. Screening berms may be removed as part of final reclamation. 6.5 Noise: The mining operation will operate in compliance with all State noise standards. State standards have been established for daytime hours, defined as 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and nighttime hours defined as 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Nighttime standards are more restrictive for residential receptors. The project is proposing 24 hour operations and will therefore be subject to both daytime and nighttime residential standards.
