Subsequent to the re-routing of utilities, the bituminous surface of Proctor Road will be taken up, ground into fine particles of less than an inch which will used as a binder with aggregate products, and will be utilized for various road improvement projects. Post -Mining: The proposed mining project is subject to the City of Elk River's Comprehensive Plan and Gravel Mining Area Land Use, Transportation and Utilfty Plan, both of which recognize the importance of aggregate reserves and support continued mining in Elk River. The current Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5 — Land Use, Mining, states "The primary objective of this land use category is to allow the current mining use of the land and address future land use when development becomes appropriate. " The proposed project area is included in the Comprehensive Plan and is depicted as "Mining" in Figure 5-1. - Existing Use of Land and as "Development Reserve" in Figure 5-2. - Future Land Use, post mining. The preferred land use outlined in the City's Gravel Mining Area Land Use document, calls for the future use of this current mining area, as a mix of Open Space, Industrial and Commercial/Industrial . Post -mining, the property will be reclaimed in such a manner which is acceptable to the City of Elk River to facilitate the future development of this area as "Development Reserve" as outlined in the City's Comprehensive Plan or as a "mixed use" scenario. This may or may not include the replacement of Proctor Road to its present location. Aggregate Industries and Plaisted Companies will work with the City of Elk River to achieve the desired post -mining land use.
