Impact of excavation on quantity and quality of groundwater and surface water; and

Method(s) to be used to dispose of excess water during excavation, including details of any proposed filtration system(s).

Requirements pertaining to location, operation, and restoration of surface mines.

No permit to operate, enlarge or extend a surface mine shall be issued for any tract or combination of contiguous tracts of land containing less than 10 acres. This minimum acreage shall not apply to proposals involving the restoration of nonconforming, inactive, or abandoned surface mines.

In the case of enlargement or extension of existing surface mining operations, both the existing surface mine and any proposed extension or enlargement thereof shall be subject to all requirements set forth herein.

No permit shall be approved for any location which is in close proximity to existing development or any area that the board finds is undergoing, or is likely in the reasonably near future to undergo, development, whether residential, commercial or industrial, which development would, in the opinion of the board, be rendered impossible or adversely affected in any way by the existence or operation of such surface mine. No such permit shall be granted if, in the opinion of the board, the site is not likely to be restored to a usable and productive purpose and a condition conducive to the public health, safety and welfare.

Access requirements.

Local residential streets shall not be used for access to the surface mining operations. The permittee shall be limited to using those routes which are specified in his application and approved by the board in authorizing the use permit.

In the case of mining and restoration projects, all on-site access roads and driveways shall be maintained so as to prevent the creation of dust and shall have an appropriate surface treatment which will prevent the depositing of mud, debris, or dust onto any public street.

Any access road shall be a minimum of 20 feet from any property line except at any point of access to any public right-of-way.

The zoning administrator or the board may, in consultation with VDOT, require the operator to post a letter of credit in an amount sufficient to cover any potential damages to the public road system attributable to the operation.

All buildings, structures, storage areas, and accessory activities associated with the mining operation shall be subject to all applicable requirements of the zoning district in which the proposed surface mine is to be located. This is not to be interpreted to preclude the placement on-site of temporary accessory structures which are to be removed upon expiration of the permit.

Elimination of noise, dust, and vibration.

All equipment used for the extraction or transportation of materials shall be constructed, maintained, and operated in such a manner as to eliminate any noise, dust, or vibration which would be injurious or annoying to persons living in the vicinity.

All storage areas, yards, service roads or other non-vegetated open areas within the boundaries of the surface mining area shall be maintained so as to prevent dust or other wind blown air pollutants. Proposed methods of dust control and equipment proposed for such control shall be included in the plan of operation and shall be located at the site during such operations.

Trucks shall not be loaded beyond design capacity and, if deemed necessary by the zoning administrator as a result of the types of materials being transported, shall be covered with a tarpaulin or other appropriate device so as to prevent hauled materials from being deposited or spilled during transport upon any public or private lands or property. In the case of restoration operations involving filling with construction debris or similar materials, the board may require that the applicant's procedures for operation include a requirement that all trucks hauling materials to the site and allowed to dump said materials have a tailgate or be covered or both in order to prevent materials from being spilled during transport. If established, compliance with said requirement shall be the responsibility of the operator of the site.

The mining activity shall be conducted between sunrise and sunset and shall have no Sunday operations. This shall not be deemed to preclude necessary maintenance of equipment essential for public health and safety at other times.

A fence of not less than six feet in height, constructed of meshed wire or other materials, approved by the zoning administrator, shall be required around the portion of the site being mined, areas where equipment is being operated, and all access roads, if deemed necessary by the board in order to protect the public interest, safety, and welfare.

Gates shall be constructed at all entrances and shall be kept locked at all times when operations are not underway.

(8)

For public safety purposes, properties containing surface mines shall be conspicuously posted in such a manner and at such intervals as will give reasonable notice to passersby that trespassing is prohibited. In recognition of the location of the proposed site the board may require the installation of a perimeter access and observation road around the area being mined. Such road, if required, shall be located outside of and adjacent to the required security fencing and shall be maintained at all times in a passable condition so as to allow patrol by law enforcement personnel.

(9)

Setback areas for surface mine operations shall be:

Not less than 200 feet from any property line or street right-of-way in any zoning district.

Exterior limits of all areas to be excavated shall be delineated prior to beginning operation in accordance with the areas of excavation as shown on the approved operations plan with iron markers extending no less than five feet above the surface of the earth.

(10)

Surface mines shall be operated and maintained in a neat and orderly manner, free from junk, inoperable equipment, trash, or unnecessary debris. Buildings shall be maintained in a sound condition, in good repair and appearance. Weeds shall be cut as frequently as necessary, but not less than twice a year. Only that equipment which is used in the operation of the surface mine shall be maintained and stored on the site, unless, however, vehicle storage or maintenance is permitted in the zoning district in which such mining activity is located.

(11)

The following drainage requirements shall be met during the operation of the surface mine:

The property shall be graded so as to prevent standing water which would or could reasonably be expected to constitute a safety or health hazard.

Existing drainage channels shall not be altered in such a way that water backs up onto adjoining properties or that the peak flow of water leaving the site exceeds the capacity of the downstream drainage channel.

(12)

During mining operations, no slope shall be created which will, through slides, sinking, collapse, or erosion, or any other means, cause any change in the elevation of the required setback area.

(13)

The operation of the surface mine shall at all times comply with the applicable provisions of the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, 3rd Ed., 1992 or subsequent amendments thereto.

(14)

Overburden shall not be removed from an area larger than could be mined within one year.

(15)

The operation of the surface mine shall not be conducted in a manner which would or could reasonably be expected to cause negative impacts on groundwater level and quality. The soils analysis required as part of the use permit application shall set forth the particular methods of operation necessary to ensure that negative impacts will not occur. Such report shall be subject to the review and approval of the zoning administrator.

(16)

The use of explosives in conjunction with the mining activity shall not be permitted.

(17)

Maintenance of equipment shall be conducted in such a fashion as to not allow the depositing of oil, grease, or other deleterious materials on the ground or within the confines of any future lake area.

Restoration.

Restoration of excavated areas shall proceed in a coordinated and continuous manner designed to minimize the disturbed area and shall be subject to review and approval by the zoning administrator as each phase of the operation, as described in the Operations Plan, is completed.

Restoration of excavated areas shall be accomplished using materials and procedures, approved by the zoning administrator, which will result in the site being restored to a condition capable of supporting the types of land uses envisioned by the adopted comprehensive plan. Materials and procedures for filling shall be described in the Restoration Plan. Filling shall meet the requirements of the State Health Department and Chapter 10, Erosion and Sedimentation Control, of this Code. In the case of restoration and reclamation projects, fill materials shall be limited to clean soil unless the board, issues a special use permit which specifically permits filling with materials such as demolition wastes, construction wastes, tree trimmings, stumps and other inert wastes. Under no circumstances shall fill materials include household, commercial or industrial wastes, sludge material, asbestos, tires, ash, and any hazardous wastes, including the following general classes of materials:

Oil and oil products;

Radioactive materials;

Any overburden, unused stockpiles of materials, or topsoil stockpiles remaining at the completion of the mining operation shall be graded in such a manner as to conform with the approved restoration plan.

Final grading of disturbed and restored areas shall not exceed a slope ratio of four horizontal to one vertical (4:1) or the normal angle of repose for the soil type on the site, whichever is less, except as required otherwise for slopes within proposed lakes or ponds. Slopes shall be improved with structures such as terraces, berms, waterways, etc., to accommodate surface waters, where necessary, and to minimize erosion due to surface runoff. Slopes shall be stabilized and protected with permanent vegetative or riprap covering. The surface of the restored surface mine site shall have a minimum slope of 1%.

Restored areas shall be planted with grass, trees, shrubs, or other vegetation to prevent erosion and to achieve a permanent and protective cover and enrich the soil. The types of vegetation to be used shall be described in the restoration plan and shall meet the requirements of the Virginia Minerals Other Than Coal Surface Mining Law. Revegetation shall take place as soon as is practicable based on seasonal growing conditions, after mining operations have ceased in the particular area involved.

The site shall be graded so as to prevent standing water except in an approved lake or pond.

The site shall be graded so as to ensure that natural and stormwater runoff, both on-site and off-site, can be adequately accommodated.

(8)

Any proposed lakes or ponds shall be no less than seven feet in depth or such greater depth as may be determined necessary by the director of environmental and development services except as provided herein. A slope ratio of five horizontal to one vertical shall be maintained from the mean shoreline to a depth of seven feet. Below a depth of seven feet the slope shall be no more than the normal angle of repose for the soil type in the pond. Ponds shall be stocked with fish which will eliminate mosquito larvae and other insects as determined by the director of environmental and development services.

(9)

ii.

Final restoration work shall be initiated within one year after mining or related activity ceases on any segment of the site where mining has occurred and shall be completed within three years of the cessation of the mining activity.

The proposed use of the site after restoration shall be stated and the ability of the restored site to accommodate the proposed use shall be demonstrated through a series of conceptual plans and sketches. The proposed use shall be consistent with the land use designation established for the site by the comprehensive plan.

In the event there are no firm plans for future development of the site, a series of conceptual plans and sketches demonstrating that the physical attributes of the restored area could accommodate the types of land use envisioned by the comprehensive plan shall be prepared. It is understood that this may be a hypothetical exercise; however, it will be evaluated as such and will not be considered a commitment to the use portrayed.

The restoration plan shall address the following where applicable:

Restoration of stream banks and channels to prevent erosion, sedimentation, and other water pollution effects of stream flow from exceeding their degree before the mining.

Sloping and other control to stabilize final surfaces and minimize public hazards.

Vegetating disturbed areas in a manner conducive to restoring them to a natural state consistent with the future use of the property and without any maintenance being required.

Drainage control to prevent pools of water from becoming public nuisances or health or safety hazards.

Immediate removal of structures and equipment after termination of the mining or when it is no longer in use at the site.

Otherwise minimizing the adverse impact of the mined land on the livability, value, and appropriate development of adjacent property.

Appropriately trained professionals, such as biologists and geologists, shall participate in the development of the restoration plan to ensure and certify, to the extent possible, the long term viability of any proposed lake or pond.

Processing and approval. The zoning administrator shall be the final plan approving authority, however, no final action shall be taken until the comments and recommendations of all reviewing agencies and departments have been received.

(f)

General requirements.

The staging of the mining operation shall occur within a period not to exceed five years unless a greater time period is authorized specifically by the board. Such period shall commence on the date of approval of all plans and submissions required herein.

The following requirements shall govern the posting, reduction, forfeiture, and release of surety for surface mines:

Prior to commencement of the authorized activity, the permittee shall post with the zoning administrator a certified check, letter of credit, or cash escrow with surety satisfactory to the zoning administrator, approved as to form and content by the County attorney, guaranteeing the faithful performance of all conditions and requirements of the use permit. The amount of such surety shall be approved by the zoning administrator and shall be sufficient to guarantee performance of approved and required methods of operation such as, but not limited to, dust control, drainage, and erosion control, and to guarantee the restoration of the site in accordance with the approved restoration plan at such time as the restoration is scheduled to take place.

If the site is to be disturbed and restored in phases, the surety may be reduced in a manner approved by the County attorney and an amount approved by the zoning administrator as phases are completed and approved, leaving adequate surety to ensure operation and restoration of the entire site in accordance with the approved operations and restoration plans.

In the event the approved operation plan or approved restoration plan have not been followed, the zoning administrator shall require the forfeiture of such surety to cover the cost of necessary operational and restoration activities.

Except as provided hereinabove, surety shall not be released until the zoning administrator certifies that the requirements of the approved restoration plan have been met. In this regard, the zoning administrator may, in order to evaluate the adequacy and success of re-vegetation efforts, delay the final release of surety guarantee for two growing seasons after the time of planting.

The following requirements shall govern any proposed changes in the approved plans of operations or restoration:

If a permittee proposes changes in an approved original plan, or if additional land not shown as a part of the approved operation plan is to be disturbed, the permittee shall submit an amended application, operations plan, and Restoration Plan which shall be reviewed in the same manner as an original plan and shall be subject to all provisions of this ordinance, as amended.

All amendments, changes, and modifications of plans shall be valid only when evidenced by a written approval from the zoning administrator.

A reasonable extension of time may be granted by the zoning administrator when he finds that weather conditions make compliance with an approved time schedule impractical.
