INFORMATION <br />ver <br />TO: City Council <br />MEMORANDUM <br />FROM: Rebecca Haug, Environmental Administrator <br />DATE: February 4, 2008 <br />SUBJECT: Gravel Operators Meeting <br />In November, 2007, I spoke at the City Council meeting regarding hours of operation for <br />gravel mining. I informed the Council that I would be scheduling a meeting with the local <br />gravel operators in December or January. <br />On January 15, 2008, staff including Jeremy Barnhart, Planning Manager, Nicki Blake- <br />Bxadley, Environmental Technician, and I met with the local gravel operators. During the <br />meeting several items were discussed such as hours of operation, noise, dust, traffic, <br />licensing/inspections and reclamation/phasing plans. The operators present included <br />Aggregate Industries, C.S. NlcCxossan, Midwest Asphalt, Plaisted Companies, Inc. and Tiller <br />Corporation. The meeting went very well. <br />The operators would like staff and Council to have residents call them directly when they <br />have a complaint. The resident should call them immediately so the operators can assess the <br />issue and determine what equipment ox operation is causing the complaint. When the <br />operators receive the complaint later in the day or the next day it is hard to determine what <br />the problem was. I have listed out who should be contacted at each gravel mine. I asked <br />that the operators also notify me when they receive complaints so we know what is being <br />done to resolve the problem. <br />The operators all agreed to provide the City with their phasing/reclamation plans to help in <br />die gravel mine study process. It was emphasized by the gravel miners that their plans are <br />dependent upon the market. <br />If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you <br />
