On June 28, Dakota Aggregates submitted an application for large scale mineral extraction (LSME) permit for the forty year mining operation, an annual operation permit for dry /wet mining sub -phase 1A, and an IUP for the aggregate processing. Dakota Aggregates, at this time, has not requested an IUP for any additional ancillary uses, such as the concrete or asphalt production.
