Representatives of Aggregate Industries (AI) have also provided background <br />documents which include the 2001 and 2003 Applications. AI has stated that general operations will <br />be in accordance with the previous documents with the noted modifications. The following <br />comments are provided in support of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) amendment for the Site. <br /> <br />2006 Operations Plan <br /> <br />AI provided a 2006 Operations Plan with their application. AI should provide current elevation <br />information for the site to enable assessment with the 2003 AI grading plan. I was unable to <br />determine the extent of the site which has been reclaimed. From the aerial photos, it appears that <br />the extent of reclamation has been limited. I recommend that AI present a schedule for reclamation <br />of areas of the site that have been mined and are currently inactive (see item (09) b. of the CUP) <br /> <br />Groundwater Conditions <br /> <br />Ground water conditions have not been assessed for the Site. From reference technical information, <br />the ground water table occurs at an elevation between 940 and 970 msl. The 2003 AI grading plan <br />indicated that the lowest mined elevation would be approximately 1000 msl. This implies that a <br />significant buffer of native unsaturated soils will remain between the ground water table elevation and <br />the extent of mining. This vertical buffer of unsaturated soil will help reduce the potential impacts to <br />groundwater resources in the event of a spill at the site. <br /> <br /> . 0 0 0 0 <br /> MINNEAPOLIS HOUSTON DENVER PROVIDENCE ANCHORAGE <br /> 1000 IDS Center Suite 200 Tower One.
