(b) A conceptual site reclamation plan; (NOTE: Final approval of reclamation plans resides with DOGAMI rather than local governments, except as provided in ( ORS 517.780) (c) A traffic impact assessment within one mile of the entrance to the mining area pursuant to section (4)(b)(B) of this rule; (d) Proposals to minimize any conflicts with existing uses preliminarily identified by the applicant within a 1,500 foot impact area; and (e) A site plan indicating the location, hours of operation, and other pertinent information for all proposed mining and associated uses. This application for a PAPA contains the following: An analysis of the aggregate resource of the subject property, conducted by EGR & Associates, Inc. (EGR), Oregon registered geologists, is attached as an exhibit to the application and our findings and conclusions regarding that analysis are further discussed below. A conceptual site reclamation plan is attached as an exhibit to the application and our findings and conclusions regarding that plan are further discussed below. Lane Code 15.697(1) requires that a traffic impact analysis may be required for any plan amendment proposal, unless waived by the County Engineer as specified in Lane Code 15.697(2). Lane Code 15.697(2) provides that the County Engineer may waive traffic impact analysis requirements specified in LC 15.697(1) when, in the case of a plan amendment, the scale and size of the proposal is insignificant, eliminating the need for detailed traffic analysis of the performance of roadway facilities for the 20-year planning horizon. Lane Code 15.697(2)(b) provides that, generally, a waiver to Traffic Impact Analysis will be approved when the plan designation that results will be entirely a resource designation or there is adequate information for the County Engineer to determine that a transportation facility is not significantly affected as defined in Lane County Transportation System Plan Policy 20-d. We find that approval of the application will result in the re-designation of the subject property from one resource designation (Agriculture) to another (Sand and Gravel). Specifically, the proposed plan amendment will result in the Metro Plan diagram designation of the subject property being changed to “Sand and Gravel” and in the county zoning of the property being changed to “Sand, Gravel and Rock Products.” Furthermore, as more specifically addressed below, we find that approval of the application will not result in any additional traffic on any local roads and, consequently, will not significantly affect any transportation facility. Therefore, we find that the Lane County Engineer should waive the traffic impact analysis requirements of Lane Code. Proposals to minimize conflicts with existing uses within a 1,500 foot impact area are contained in the application and our findings and conclusions regarding those proposals are further discussed below. The location, hours of operation and other pertinent information for all proposed mining and associated uses is provided in the application, which contains the following consultants reports:Report on Noise Study (Daly-Standlee & Associates, Inc.) (hereinafter referred to as “Daly-Standlee”) (Exhibit F); Air Quality Evaluation (Bridgewater Group, Inc.) (hereinafter referred to as “Bridgewater”) (Exhibit G); Flood Impact Evaluation (EGR & Associates, Inc.) (hereinafter referred to as “EGR”)(Exhibit H); and Digital Model-Groundwater (EGR) (Exhibit I). We Find That The Aggregate Resource Site is Significant. OAR 660-023-0180(3): Ordinance - 10
