Thanks 7ennifer. I looked over the attachment and it looks like page 4 has the main points
of their special use permit. I'm not sure why the information at the bottom of this email is
not in there, but obviously these are critical points as well. Two points on page 4 that
caught my eye are D which states that spoil piles can't be more than 40 higher than original
contour and vertical slopes can't exceed material's natural angle of response. So I'd assume
that overburden = spoil. Also the 250 foot setback is in there. Specifically it states that
they are to retain existing vegetation for a visual screen and noise buffer. They have not
adhered to this condition because they cut all of the timber off of the northern portion of
the property within the last 5 years, including that within 250 of the property boundary.
Page 3 has some information on standards of evaluation that address noise and vibration
levels. I'm no expert on this, but I see nothing in the attachment on page 3 or in the text
below that suggest that the primary crushing area couldn't be located on the north side of
the wetlands. The standards are the same for any part of the operation regardless of where
it occurs. There's nothing to say that in here that neighbor A on the north side of the
wetlands must be treated differently than neighbor B on the south side.
