The site plan application must also demonstrate that, in addition to conformance with all County codes, the conditions of the mining permit are met as specified herein. Specific submittal requirements shall include: (1) A mining plan, including: (a) Plan view and cross-sections of mining area, (b) Amount of fill to be removed; (c) Timetable of mining activity; (d) Method of mining, (e) Hours of operation; and (f) Safety/security plan. (2) A restoration plan, including: (a) A description of the eventual future use of the site, and (b) Final grades of the site.

(2) No mining shall occur within one hundred and fifty (150) feet of a projected right-of-way line of any existing or proposed public road, nor within 150 feet of the outer perimeter of the project site. Where a mining operation consists only of the removal of a mound and does not consist of lowering the elevation of ground below the neighboring property, an exception to the 150 feet setback may be permitted at the time of site plan approval. (3) Any mining activity that results in the creation or expansion of a waterbody shall be subject to the provisions of Section 25(r)(5), water management standards, of this ordinance.
