UPDATED FINDINGS FOR QUARRY EXCAVATION <br /> PA -0200182 <br /> REED LEASING GROUP , LLC/BASIC RESOURCES <br /> 1 . The proposal is for the removal of regionally significant or scarce deposits of mineral resources and not <br /> for the removal of prime farmland . <br /> • This finding can be made because the Division of Mines and Geology classifies this site as a <br /> Mineral Resource Zone -3 , which indicates that the site contains potentially significant <br /> deposits of aggregate resources . Topsoil and overburden will be continually reclaimed to the <br /> site as excavation proceeds . <br /> 2 . The proposed reclamation of the property upon completion of the excavation will leave the property in a <br /> condition that will allow its reuse . <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed reclamation plan provides for replanting the <br /> site in walnut orchard with a sprinkler irrigation system . The reclaimed site will be relatively <br /> level . <br /> 3 . Issuance of the permit shall not be significantly detrimental to the public health , safety , or welfare , or be <br /> injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity . <br /> • This finding can be made because the Initial Study prepared for this project did not find any <br /> potentially significant environmental impacts . The project is not near any residences . The <br /> excavation equipment will not use public roads . The material will be processed at an existing <br /> facility . The project includes a buffer between the excavation and the Mokelumne River and <br /> its riparian habitat . <br />
