The County owns the land where their permit is located and uses a short, paved access road that crosses private land. Access to the site is gained directly from U.S. Highway 2 East and no changes are proposed. The County operates a crusher and stockpiles material at this location. They operate a maintenance shop and a sand shed that would remain along with the access road after the pit portion has been reclaimed. The pit would be operated intermittently from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Saturday to provide itself aggregate products county road construction and maintenance as needed. The site has been operated since the early 1990’s and would continue to operate off and on over the next 27 years. Much of the gravel has already been removed from this site but in total it could extract as much as 2.0 million cubic yards of material. Of that volume, approximately 25,000 cubic yards are soils that covered the gravel and facility area, and which would remain on site for reclamation. The rest would be sand and gravel products. All soil and overburden would be stripped off and saved for reclamation and planted back to pasture grass when mining and processing are completed. Facilities that move in and out could include a crusher, screens, dozers, scrapers, haul trucks, fuel trucks, road watering and other equipment typical of road construction.
