The proposal by Fred Hill Materials Inc. (FHM) is to add 10 acres of additional mineral extraction area (pit area) to the existing 144 mineral extraction and processing area, which currently has a DNR Reclamation permit. The additional pit areas are located in a Commercial Forest designation, where mining is a permitted activity provided that no more than 10 acres is disturbed at any one time. Mineral extraction would not occur within 10 feet of the high seasonal groundwater table.
This proposed additional mineral extraction area will provide a source of material for FHM operation until mineral extraction is determined through a permit process within the 690 acre Mineral Resource Overlay District adopted through Ordinance 08-0706-04 on July 6, 2004. The 690 acre MRL area is located approximately 1 mile west of the existing 144 acre mineral extraction and processing area.
The current mineral extraction is occurring behind a berm near the eastern edge of the 144 acre mineral extraction and processing area (Segment H - Sheet 2). An approximately 1 acre mineral extraction area is proposed along the eastern edge of the 144 acre mineral extraction and processing area (Segment I). This mining area (Segment I) has an average width of approximately 175 feet (varies 150 to 200 feet). The permit expansion area averages about 90 feet wide (varies 80 to 100 feet). Segment I will include the removal of the berm and increasing the depth of the pit area from 55 to 95 feet to achieve a sinuous grade for the reclaimed surface. It is anticipated that the mining in this area will begin around November, 2004 and will be completed in the spring of 2005, when the entire eastern edge of the pit will be planted in trees for the subsequent use for timber production (Segment I - Sheets 2 & 5).
After mining is completed at the eastern edge of the pit area (Segment I), the mineral extraction would be moved to the 9 acres located south and west of the current 144 acre mineral extraction and processing area. This would entail the removal of material to a maximum depth of 35 feet over an area with an average width of 400 feet (Segments J & K - Sheets 2 & 4).
Jefferson County has a Stormwater Permit to review and is the lead agency for the environmental review of the proposal under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The threshold determination for this proposal incorporates by reference the Final Modified MDNS issued for Ace Paving Conditional Use Application (ZON 98-41) within the 144 acre mineral extraction and processing area, which was issued by Jefferson County DCD on June 1, 1999. The Final Modified MDNS for ZON 98-41 (log item 11) is available for review at the Jefferson County DCD office.
The applicant will require an amended WA State DNR Reclamation Permit and possibly an amended NPDES General Sand and Gravel permit from the WA State Department of Ecology.
