site. Bauerly Bros. will be required to submit a thorough spill prevention <br /> and control plan. <br /> • WETLANDS <br /> Five wetland have been identified on the site (see attached site plan and <br /> report by Barr engineering). Bauerly Bros. have decided to avoid impacting <br /> these wetlands by keeping mining activities a minimum of 100 feet away. <br /> Additional wetland protective measures are listed in the draft conditional use <br /> permit. <br /> DUST <br /> Because of the crushing proposed with this operation, an air emission permit <br /> from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is required. In <br /> addition, staff is recommending that water is used to hold dust down. <br /> Bauerly Bros. have stated that they prefer to use Calcium Chloride, which <br /> can be more effective, but it is a salt. Staff is concerned with the effects of <br /> calcium chloride on wetlands. Bauerly Bros. may propose using calcium <br /> chloride only on 225th Avenue. <br /> Another dust issue is debris that will left on Highway 169 from the additional <br /> truck traffic. Bauerly Bros. have a street sweeper and will clean this <br /> • intersection as needed. <br /> One adjacent resident recommended that Bauerly Bros. pave 225th Avenue <br /> from the pit entrance to Highway 169. In a previous mineral excavation <br /> permit for Shiely Company, the city did require that a turn lane on County <br /> Road #33 was constructed by the permittee. This turn lane was a safety <br /> issue. The Planning commission will need to consider if paving 225th is <br /> legitimately similar to the Shiely situation. Dust can be held down by <br /> watering or calcium chloride. The resident who brought this up contends this <br /> is a safety issue because of the steep grade of 225th prior to Highway 169. <br /> Staff will provide further recommendations from the City Engineer and <br /> Street Superintendent at your meeting. <br /> • <br /> TREES PLANTING AND OAK WILT <br /> A portion of the affected property is wooded. Bauerly Bros. are proposing <br /> that farming be the end use of this property after reclamation. However, the <br /> Planning Commission should consider some replacement of the trees being <br /> removed; at least on the perimeter of the property. <br /> The wooded areas that will be disturbed by this proposal are made up largely <br /> of oaks. Therefore, oakwilt is of concern. The draft conditional use permit <br /> • <br /> contains stipulations to deal with oakwilt. <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\b&z\stever\baurcup.doc <br />
