Director Boling presented Section #4 (4) Traffic and Nuisance Mitigation, Item <br />(4)(f), which establishes that haul routes or haul route segments which are shared by mines, must <br />be paved if the truck trip ends per day exceed 500, which would be 250 loads out of one mine. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan was concerned about using an average of 500 truck trip <br />ends, because truck trips would vary on a daily basis, and Director Mora outlined the process for <br />arriving at that figure. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan reiterated his opposition to using average numbers for the <br />truck trips, and felt that full-time traffic monitoring should be done on any haul route. <br />Extended discussion ensued as Commissioners, staff, area residents, and area <br />professionals offered further commentary and suggestions relative to the 500 truck trip end <br />average on the unpaved haul routes. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari to amend <br />staff's recommendation on Section #4, Item (4) Traffic and <br />Nuisance Mitigation, on Item (4)(e)(1), to add a second level <br />of twelve (12) inches of suitable material on top of the twelve <br />(12) inch suitable road base material, and on Item (4)(f), to <br />increase the threshold for tripping the paved road section to <br />1200 trips. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. <br />Mr. Ulevich asked the Board to make sure the amended LDR's reference the fact <br />that the Improvement and Water Control Districts also have permitting requirements associated <br />with unpaved haul routes, and that those Boards have the prerogative to put conditions on a <br />permit above and beyond the County's requirements. <br />17 <br />December 19, 2008 <br />Special Call Mining Regulations <br />
