The Eugene City Council is following the inventory process for a mineral or aggregate resource site under a PAPA pursuant to this requirement. OAR 660-023-0300 (8): In order to determine whether information in a PAPA submittal concerning an aggregate site is adequate, local government shall follow the requirements of this section rather than OAR 660-023-0030(3). An application for approval of an aggregate site following sections (4) and (6) of this rule shall be adequate if it provides sufficient information to determine whether the requirements in those sections are satisfied. An application for a PAPA concerning a significant aggregate site following sections (3) and (5) of this rule shall be adequate if it includes: (a) Information regarding quantity, quality, and location sufficient to determine whether the standards and conditions in section (3) of this rule are satisfied; The determination of site significance due to quality, quality, and site location as contiguous to an existing mining operation is discussed in detail under Step 2, below. (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) The expansion site is proposed for consideration as an amendment to the File Record No. reclamation plan approved by DOGAMI in 1987 and 1995. See 17 and Exhibit 49. (c) A traffic impact assessment within one mile of the entrance to the mining area pursuant to section (5)(b)(B) of this rule; Lane County Transportation Planning waived the traffic impact analysis requirement under LC 15.697 (1) because, in part, substantial improvements to the road system in this area are planned and scheduled out for the next twenty years in transportation system plans. File Record No.Exhibit 30 See . City Council deliberations did not progress to the point of deciding whether the waiver was satisfactory. (d) Proposals to minimize any conflicts with existing uses preliminarily identified by the applicant within a 1,500 foot impact area; and Proposals to minimize conflicts with existing uses are included in the application and identify the potential conflicts that have been considered in the public involvement process. Step 3 analyzes the conflicts minimization proposals in depth, but City Council deliberations did not advance beyond Step 2. (e) A site plan indicating the location, hours of operation, and other pertinent information for all proposed mining and associated uses. There is a site plan in the application. The application was supplemented by materials provided through two public hearings and an extended period for open record. The Eugene Planning Commission found unanimously that there was adequate information submitted in the PAPA application. The Lane County Planning Commission voted 4-2 that there was adequate information submitted in the PAPA application.
