During transition from one phase to the next, two (2) phases may be active concurrently if security is posted for both phases in accordance with these mining regulations. No portion of a pit (lake) shall be required to be fully restored in accordance with the project's restoration plan until excavation of the entire pit (lake) has ceased. (b) No mining excavation shall occur within one hundred fifty (150) feet of a projected right-of-way line of any existing or proposed public road, nor within one hundred fifty (150) feet of the outer perimeter of the project property. 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 of the one hundred fifty (150) feet setback may be permitted at the time of site plan approval. In addition, the applicant shall satisfy the following: A three -hundred -foot setback from adjacent occupied structures (structures existing as of the date of site plan application for the mining project) to mining pits, on-site haul roads, and material stockpile areas.

Projects creating waterbodies must also provide a safety/security plan for the mining operation phase, including, but not limited to, fences and/or berms, access, control, and other security methods. (d) If the project site is of a size that falls below St. Johns River Water Management District permitting thresholds and is located (in whole or part) on the Atlantic coastal sand ridge, no excavation governed by a mining permit shall result in an average elevation of less than twenty-five (25) feet mean sea level (MSL) for that portion of the project site located on the sand ridge. Mining project sites that are large enough to fall within Saint Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) permitting requirements shall conform to SJRWMD permitting requirements concerning depth of mining and all other applicable SJRWMD permitting requirements. (e) If the project site is adjacent to a residential district or to an agriculturally -zoned parcel of ten (10) acres or less, the perimeter of the site adjacent to such an area shall include a fifty -foot wide bufferyard and a type "A" buffer or its equivalent along said site boundary.
