The applicant received approval to mine into the water table in 2006 and the operation will utilize the water from the areas that have been excavated below the water table. Washing is expected to be seasonal and intermittent depending on market demand. The applicant is required to meet noise level requirements set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and will use berms to reduce the effects of noise generated from the operation dw-ing their permitted hours. The site currently operates under a MPCA Air Quality and Stormwater Permit. Recommendation Staff supports a recommendation of approval, subject to the conditions outlined above.
