ANALYSIS Background The existing mining operation is located east of Linden and situated in the northeastern portion of San Joaquin County along the Stanislaus County border. Access to the existing mining operation is from Waverly Road, then easterly on an existing graveled road into the quarry mining area. Land uses to the east, north, and west include agricultural grazing land and scattered rural residences, and to the south the County owned Foothill Landfill. Livestock grazing is the principal land use within the project site vicinity. The original Excavation Permit EP-81-0009 was approved and Environmental Impact Report EIR 81-0005 was certified by the Board of Supervisors on May 6, 1982. The application was approved for the excavation of 712,000 cubic yards of dredge tailings and overburden located on APN: 093- 450-01. On July 11, 1991, the Planning Commission approved the current Quarry Excavation Application No. QX-91-0006 for an expansion of EP-81-0009. The project approval included the excavation and reclamation of an additional 240 acres comprised of APN's 093-450-01 and 093-450-05. The mining permit is vested under the previous approval of Excavation Permit EP-81-0009 and all mining activity has been subject to all applicable state Surface and Mining Reclamation (SMARA) Codes. Mining Permit History With the approval of the expansion permit in 1991 the mining operation became known as the North Waverly Road excavation permit North and South. The north operation is located on APN: 093-450-01 and is comprised of 241.18 acres, and the south operation is located on APN: 093- 450-05 and is comprised of 200.90 acres. Both APN's are also recognized as two separate legal parcels with different mine operators located on each parcel. Throughout the life of this permit there have been several operators who mined each site. In 2014, the south operation was transferred by sale from Cynthia Darby to Cal Materials (E.J. Rogers), while the north operation was retained by Peter Garibaldi. To ensure the existing mining permit was clearly identified as a north and south operation for the purposes of submitting mining operation annual reports consistent with the state Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA). The Department of Mine Reclamation in 2014 issued a separate Mine ID No. to the south operation. The Mine ID No. issued by the Department of Mine Reclamation for the south operation is 91-39- 0059. The operator of record for the south operation is California Materials (E.J. Rogers). The original Mine ID No. issued for the mine permit is 91-39-0013 and is only for the north operation. The operator of record for the north operation is Peter Garibaldi. Planning Commission Staff Report, Item# 1 12/19/2019 -QX-91-0006 (QE, RAA) 5
