Commissioner O'Bryan pointed out that there was nothing to preclude the County <br />from moving ahead with the Ordinance, since the proposed mining moratorium was for six <br />months, which falls within the State's allowance of up to a twelve month moratorium. <br />Commissioner Flescher asked Attorney Collins how the SARTF report would <br />impact the Board's decision at this evening's meeting, and learned that if it was deemed to be <br />necessary, changes to the moratorium could be made with about two weeks notice. <br />Vice Chairman Davis asked what was the process for a moratorium extension. <br />Attorney Collins stated that there would have to be a recommendation by the Advisory committees <br />and two public hearings. He recommended checking on staff's progress in about four months, so if <br />more time is necessary, the Board could initiate an extension, as long as it was no more than twelve <br />months total. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. <br />Ralph Evans, Esquire, 1420 Shorelands Drive West, representing Wild Turkey <br />Mines, provided background information on the 800 -acre parcel on which Wild Turkey would like <br />to locate its mining operations. He expressed opposition to the moratorium, delineated his reasons <br />for believing that the proposed Ordinance was directed towards the Wild Turkey Mine, and <br />warned that the Board would be faced with a costly Bert Harris claim if the Board was undergoing <br />this process in order to get rid of Wild Turkey. He asked the Board to reconsider the moratorium <br />as it relates to the Wild Turkey permit, and acknowledged that Wild Turkey was committed to <br />abide by any conditions that the Board might set on their permit. <br />The following residents voiced their concerns relative to mining operations, and <br />supported the moratorium: <br />January 7, 2008 4 <br />
