REGULAR BUSINESS
8. Miles Sand and Gravel MRLO (30 minutes) —Joel Peterson
a. Ryan Ransavage, licensed geologist employed by Miles Sand & Gravel, presents their
proposed conditional use project.
Commissioner Coker inquired about traffic changes due to the project. None are
proposed.
Commissioner Koan asked about changes to water usage and consumption. Ransavage
reports that the process is generally non -consumptive, with water being recycled. The
current volume of 5,000 gallons per day would not change under proposed expansion.
Commissioner Llewelyn asked about land reclamation plan. Per RCW 78.44, the project
would follow a reclamation plan that is a condition of permit approval. The Department of
Natural Resources sets reclamation conditions for segmented reclamation. Topsoil is
retained onsite and then used to plant trees at end of mining project.
Commissioner Koan asked why Pope is leasing land that is being reclaimed. Ransavage
says that it is because Miles Sand and Gravel is the one legally responsible for the current
reclamation project.
Commissioner Koan requests more information on truck transportation and noise level
changes.

at Miles Sand and Gravel does not use artificial fertilizer and is certified naturally weed -
