ENB Region 8 Completed Applications 10/13/2004

The applicant proposes a modification to an existing sand and gravel mine.  The modification would add 3 acres of sand and gravel reserves to the current 7 acre life-of-mine (LOM) area.  The mine will continue to operate as a traditional surface excavation of the Palmyra and Arkport gravelly loam series, which are the predominate soil types on the site.  Excavation will be by front end loader, equipment standard for sand and gravel mining operations.  There will be no processing of excavated material and no washing, or other uses of ground or surface waters are proposed for this operation. Final reclamation will restore the site to graded, stabilized and re-vegetated open land suitable for agricultural use.  The mine site is located on the east side of Griswald Road, approximately 1,500 north of the Chick Road intersection.

The applicant proposes to install 300 feet of gabion baskets, to a height of 20 feet, in order to protect the Waterport Pond shoreline adjacent to Oak Orchard River Road.

The Town of Clarendon proposes to create Clarendon Water District #8 and to take for use therein a supply of water estimated to average 6,600 gallons per day from the Monroe County Water Authority's Lake Ontario source.  The project includes the installation of 3,700 linear feet of 8" water main and appurtenances to serve 22 homes along Mansfield and Lake Road.  The file is available for review and comment at the Region 8 office.

The applicant has proposed to renew and modify a currant mining permit.  The modification would add washing spray bars to the existing dry crusher and screen plant to provide the capacity for producing washed aggregate stone products.  The plant will operate at a maximum of 60 tons per hour.  The mine operation will continue as a traditional surface excavation of the Howard gravelly loam series, which is the predominate soil type on the site.  Excavation will be by mechanical equipment, standard for sand and gravel mining operations.  Final reclamation will restore the site to graded, stabilized and re-vegetated open land suitable for agricultural use.  The mine site is located on the east side of Co. Rt. 70A, approximately 1,200 ft. south of the Co. Rt. 70 intersection.
