The applicant was seeking approval to sever a parcel to complete a land swap for the proposed expansion of the gravel pit. The proposed subdivision was approved with the contingency that the subdivision did not grant development rights. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: St. Joseph Sand& Gravel, LLC, applicant and Melrose Associates, Inc.,property owner are requesting approval on an interim use permit to allow for mining of sand and rock for use for construction. The existing mining operation is approximately 19 acres and the applicant is proposing to expand mining to the east another 19 acres for a total of approximately 38 acres. The operation would utilize the existing private drive onto County Road 2. The applicant is proposing to operate from April through November, Monday- Saturday from 6 am to 10 pm and does not foresee the pit becoming inactive. Interim Uses are allowed for a limited period of time and established within the Interim Use Permit. The property is zoned Urban Expansion(UE) and the future land use plan guides the property for low and medium density residential and community oriented mixed use (residential with neighborhood business). According the City's future transportation plan, an east/west minor arterial roadway is planned to extend through the property upon future development. The Joint Planning Board granted a four year interim use permit for a temporary asphalt plant as requested by St. Joseph Sand& Gravel on the adjacent property to the south. That interim use permit is allowed to operate until December 31, 2018 from 6 am to 8 pm Monday—Friday, 8 am to 2 pm on Saturdays and no operation on Sundays or Holidays. The existing plant is grandfather as it predates the Ordinance. However, since the plant is being expanded the entire site will fall under the IUP as indicated on the staff report from Stearns County Environmental Services. Mining is a permitted interim use within an UE zoning district. The interim use permit shall establish conditions of operation, including but not limited to hours of operations, days of operations and expiration of the interim use permit. Conditions of approval are established to protect the health, safety and welfare of the Town of St. Joseph and City of St. Joseph. The City Office has received some concerns about the noise at early hours. Providing hours of operation should help alleviate that concern. At the public hearing for the administrative subdivision a concern was raised about the material that is dragged into the streets from trucks hauling material. Since that meeting the driveway has been improved with asphalt. In reviewing the documents the reclamation plan is contradictory and should be defined further. In one place it states that the final grades will be determined after the mining operation, but yet a survey illustrating elevations has been submitted. The reclamation plan appears to lack detail and since the IUP covers the entire operation, consideration should be given if a reclamation plan for the entire site should be submitted. Since the proposed expansion is located within the City's Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) the City Engineer has reviewed the plans (comments are included). The applicant should provide proof of the required MPCA permits or a letter of exemption if they do not need such.

As noted in the August 23, 2016, memo from Stearns County Environmental, the existing and proposed gravel mining operations fall within the City's Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA). The existing mining and proposed operations are located within areas described as Very High and High vulnerability(See attached Figure 9-3). DWSMA vulnerability is an assessment of the likelihood that the groundwater aquifer may be subject to impact from land and water uses within the wellhead protection area. The site is outside of the Emergency Response Area that is defined as the part of the wellhead protection area defined by a one-year time of travel within the aquifer that is used by the public water supply well. 2. The submittal did not include any geotechnical investigation of the site that identifies potential ground water elevations. However, the certificate of survey indicates open water areas of the existing operation are between elevations of 1060 and 1063, and the Stearns County aerial imagery of the St. Joseph Sand and Gravel site to the southwest suggests open water similarly near the 1063 contour elevation. The South Fork Watab River generally flows between elevations of 1055 and 1054 in the vicinity of the site. The MPCA Construction Stormwater(CSW)General Permit requires a minimum vertical separation of 3 feet from the seasonally saturated soils (water table)or bedrock. Assuming the proposed 1070 finished grade elevation for the mining operation and an estimated water table elevation of 1063, it appears reasonable vertical separation is being proposed. The City may consider requesting either existing well logs or recent geotechnical logs of the site for field verification purposes. 3. Considering the conditions identified in comments 1 and 2 above, the MPCA provides the following guidance relative to infiltration practices on the site: If the site requires a Construction Stormwater General Permit, stormwater infiltration is prohibited in the following areas regardless of whether the site is located in a DWSMA. • Areas that receive discharges from vehicle fueling and maintenance. • Areas with less than three (3)feet of separation distance from the bottom of the infiltration system to the elevation of the seasonally saturated soils or the top of bedrock. • Areas that receive discharges from industrial facilities that are not authorized to infiltrate industrial stormwater under an NPDES/SDS Industrial Stormwater Permit issued by the MPCA. • Areas where high levels of contaminants in soil or groundwater will be mobilized by the infiltrating stormwater.

Recommendations for infiltrating storm water in DWSMAs The following are recommendations for infiltration practices in a DWSMA regardless of whether the above step-by-step process indicates infiltration is appropriate or a Construction Stormwater permit is required. • Ensure that separation distances are met and that existing or proposed structures or infrastructure (e.g. rate control BMPs, utilities, buildings, roadway, easements)do not prevent infiltration. • If there is a potential for the high water table or bedrock to be within 6 feet of the bottom of proposed infiltration practices, follow guidelines in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual for conducting site investigations and managing infiltration in these areas. • If there is the potential for presence of contaminated soils, contaminated groundwater, and/or hotspot runoff, follow guidelines in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual for conducting site investigations and managing infiltration in these areas. • If there is a potential for presence of soils with steady-state infiltration rates less than 0.2 inches per hour, follow guidelines in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual for conducting site investigations and managing infiltration in these areas. • If infiltration could result in adverse surface water hydrologic impacts, such as impacting a perched wetland, minimize infiltration to a point where adverse surface water hydrologic impacts are avoided. • If the infiltration practice is constructed in industrial, commercial, or transportation land uses, ensure that emergency procedures for containment of spills are established and acceptable. • Infiltration is not recommended in areas that receive discharges from vehicle fueling and maintenance. • Infiltration is not recommended in areas that receive discharges from industrial facilities that are not authorized to infiltrate industrial stormwater under an NPDES/SDS Industrial Stormwater Permit issued by the MPCA. • Infiltration is not recommended in areas within 1,000 feet up-gradient, or 100 feet down-gradient of active karst features. If infiltration is being considered, follow stormwater management guidelines for karst areas. • Infiltration is not recommended in areas where soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour unless soils are amended to slow the infiltration rate below 8.3 inches per hour or as allowed by a local unit of government with a current MS4 permit. 4. We were unable to determine if the site is presently regulated by an existing MPCA Industrial Stormwater Permit for the operation. The applicant shall submit a copy of the permit and spill containment plan for the site (or formal evidence of exemption of permit coverage from the MPCA). 5. The applicant should clarify if there will processing of recycled construction materials (ex. concrete, asphalt, etc.)or concrete washout operations on site. Additional Best Management Practices (BMP) may need to be defined if such operations are occurring or will occur. 6. The Reclamation section of the IUP Request states that the "proposed final grades will be determined after mining operation has been completed," but also references Sheet 3 of 3 of the certificate of survey Melrose Associates Interim Use Permit September 9, 2016 Page 3 submittal for proposed mine pit contours. It is my understanding that if an IUP is issued, the reclamation plan and final grades will be as defined on Sheet 3 of 3. rjs Enclosure c: Terry Thene, City of St. Joseph p:\pt\s\stjoe\common\d162 2016 st joseph sand_gravel iup\m rsabart to jweyrens st joe sand_gravel iup 090816.docx I vi` 1 !— North Corridor Alignment -- _ to be Determined \SANE ' i - -- ----� 1 Dependent Ll upon - 1 1 SW Beltway Alignment S.t RIDGEWOOD RD - ...

St. Joseph Sand and Gravel, LLC and Melrose Associates, Inc. The Joint Planning Board considered a request for an Interim Use Permit submitted by St. Joseph Sand and Gravel LLC and Melrose Associates, Inc. to allow for the operation of mining sand and gravel on the property legally described in Exhibit A, "Subject Property". The matter was duly published and notice was provided to property owners within 1250 feet(.25 mile) of the above referenced property and the Joint Planning Board conducted a public hearing on September 13, 2016. The St. Joseph Joint Planning Board acknowledged the following Findings of Fact in consideration of the request for Interim Use Permit for the operation of mining of sand and gravel: 1. The subject property is currently zoned Urban Expansion. 2. Mining is a permitted interim use in an Urban Expansion Zoning District. 3. The adjacent land uses to the subject property are the temporary asphalt operation, agricultural and rural residential lots. The City of St. Joseph and single family residential lots are located southeast of the subject property. 4. The future land use plan within the Comprehensive Plan guides the property for low and medium density residential and community oriented mixed use (residential and neighborhood commercial). 5. The future land use plan guides the surrounding property for low to medium density residential and community oriented mixed use (residential and neighborhood commercial). 6. The interim use is consistent with the Stearns County Comprehensive Plan. The Urban Expansion category is described as areas anticipated to be annexed and provided with municipal services during the time frame of this plan. This also includes areas under Orderly Annexation Agreements. Limited commercial/industrial uses may be considered. a. Chapter 4,Natural Resources and Environmental Management Plan: i. Objective 1: Locate the high quality aggregate resources in the County to guide protection and utilization activities. ii. Objective 2: Manage the aggregate resources to provide for the extraction of high quality aggregate prior to non-agricultural development on the site. iii. Objective 3: Adopt regulations to minimize nuisances from aggregate extraction that affect developed areas and that ensure restoration of extraction sites to protect other natural resources and natural functions. 7. The interim use is consistent with the City of St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Plan, and Utility Plans a. The subject property is located in Planning District three which identifies this area a low to medium density residential. The mining operation is issued through a temporary interim use permit which allows the property to develop in the future. b.
