Ms. Blair read the regular 2 -page Staff Findings and also "Additional
Staff Findings for Marler - AP 41-19-25", the last paragraph of which is
as follows:
"It appears that thus application provides for removal of sand
and gravel in an existing stream bed, that, in fact, deeper
channels would occur and that revegetation would be miniman--at
hest, that no land would be reclaimed."
Bill Sands, Environmental Review Department, reviewed --at length-- the
environmental concerns and the reasons why his department's recommendation
was for a Negative Declaration.
z
Proponents: Clif Marler, in response to a question from one of the Com-
missioners, said that the area that he would be working is a little more
than a mile long and that he would dredge the sand deposits during the
dry season, stockpile for winter use,.and as more sand is deposited by
winter waters the operation will be repeated.
It was generally agreed that there was no preexisting "ag" use in this
area.
Commissioner Max expressed concerns about the 2S -year duration of the
peimit and it was pointed out that if the operation becomes a nuisance
there a mechanisms for abatement.
Opponents: No one. The hearing was closed.
" n Commissioner Max finding that the
�,. g project under consideration could not ha.vP
a significant effect on the environment, made a motion that a Negative Dec-
laration be filed. His motion was seconded by Commissioner Lambert.
AYES: Commissioners Max, Lambert, Wheeler, Bennett and Chairman Gilberr.
NOES: No one.

abstained: No one.

ADDITIONAL. STAFF FINDINGS I.OR MARLER - AP 41-19-25
The reclamation plan proposes that the operation will remove SO,Orin
cubic yards of material per year for a 25 -year period, and that the
operation is to reclaim for ipri.culture and grazing nn old previoi►sl)•
mined area, that the operation also will provide removal of the lana
barriers which. would benefit the maintenance and operation cost
on this watershed under tl►e control of the Bureau of Reclamation.
The applicant proposes that the sand and Travel Will he screened and
washed, that the well water will be reclaimed in a sediment pond and
that less than 30 to 40 gallons per minute of water will be used .in
the washing operation. This rcclai.mcd venter will he pumped and
reclaimed in the full amount in the settlement pond to be reused in
the process. They propose that the sand and gravel (Clicrokee
Trai.lings) will be mined from dry creel:, that the underlying creel:
bottom will not he disturbed.
The applicant does not propose to augment the reclamation of the
area by resident plant scecli.ng or any other method that ►do►.►lcl
achieve a regrowth in an expeditions manner. The. Agricultural
Commissioners have commented that natural regrowth will take a 2
to 3 year period with non-sclect regrowth occurring, but with
resident plants being reintroduced ►•:ithin one yenr adequate coverage
could oceurr. This is predicated upon no flooding or washing of
the. reseeded area.
Staff would comment that the reclamation flan sloes not provide for
a systematic reclaiming of the arca after the mining, that the area
would, in fact, be mined and as left the natural. regrowth would
occur. This does not appear to fulfull the intent of the State
Alining and Reclamation Act, in this instance.
The Commission may with to rcqucst that 'tine periods be stated for
the mining of specific areas and the reclamation of the mined area
to he commenced prior to the mining operation locating in another
area of the plan.
It appears that this npplicati.on provides ror ronoval of•sand and
gravel in an axisting strenm hod, that in fact, Jacper channels
would occur a.nd that revegetation V-0011 he minimnl., at hest, that
no land would be rccloiiacc►..
