10:30 A.m. 5.01 * Continued Public Hearing - Cary Gunn - Use
Permit/Mining Permit and Reclamation Plan (Roger and
Vicky Stauffer) - consideration of an appeal of a
Use Permit and Mining Permit/Reclamation Plan (item
on which a negative declaration with mitigation
measures regarding environmental impacts has been
recommended) to operate a surface aggregate mine.
The proposed mine operation involves the extraction
and processing of alluvial gravel from the 42-acre
mine site in a series of 5 phases, with an average
size of 8.4 acres each. The mine will be operated
intermittently. Mining will occur on an upland
terrace of Dry Creek. Production will equal
approximately 50,000 to 250,000 tons per year, with
a total estimated production of 650,000 tons of
material. The mined material will be processed by
a portable rock crusher and screen into various
products. The processed material will be hauled
off-site, via Wheelock Road. Each phase will be
mined-out in approximately 6 months to 2 years, with
the conclusion of all mining occurring in 2 to 8
years after permit approval. The expected
termination date of the mine is November 2008. A
Reclamation Plan has been submitted in accordance
with the State Surface Mining and Reclamation Act.
After final mining is completed, and the plan grade
for each phase is achieved, the site shall be
reclaimed to a condition that will allow for grazing
uses. The final reclaimed condition of the mine
site will result in a vegetated depression of 8
feet, with a gradual slope from the perimeter of the
mined area, contoured to match the surrounding
terrain. The proposed 42-acre mine site is located
within a 536-acre parcel of the Lucky 7 Ranch, and
lies on the south terrace of Dry Creek, west of and
adjacent to Wheelock Road approximately one-third
mile north of the intersection of Wheelock Road and
State Highway 70 in the Pentz area, and identified
as APN 041-120-115 (DB [File # MIN 98-02]) - action

consideration of an appeal of the Planning

Permit, and Reclamation Plan, in accordance with the
Surface Mining and Reclamation Act, to operate a
surface aggregate quarry for the extraction of
basalt (item on which a negative declaration with
mitigation measures regarding environmental impacts
has been recommended). The mine will encompass 5
acres within a 326 (+/-) acre property. The
applicant proposes to utilize a sidehill method of
excavation which will leave a graded area and a cut-
bank with a 35-degree slope. A rock crusher, rock
screen, and settling pond is also proposed. Mining
operations will take place over ten years. The
mined basalt will be crushed into road base material
and hauled off-site. Maximum anticipated mine depth
is 70 feet. All topsoil shall be conserved for
later use in reclamation. The mine will be
reclaimed at the conclusion of operations for use as
a grazing area, which will also support native
annual vegetation and local wildlife. Access to the
site is provided by Canyon Shadows Road, a private
road. The property is zoned "U" (Unclassified) and
located approximately 1.5 miles north of the
intersection of Canyon Shadows Road and Humboldt
Road, in the Little Chico Creek Canyon, T22N, R2E,
