9.a. Shafer Contracting Mineral Extraction Permit Change Request, 06 -40 -ME
Community Development Director Lindquist reviewed the staff report Scott Spisak of
Shafer Contracting applied for a change to the 2006 Mineral Extraction Permit for property
located one mile north of 135 Street East and one quarter mile west of Rich Valley
Boulevard (County Road 71). The proposed change would allow for deeper mining and
replacement of extracted material with clean haul -back material from MnDOT projects.
Ms Lindquist stated that staff has proposed modifications to the mineral extraction permit
that allow for haul -back provisions and requires the applicant to adjust the reclamation plan
to make it more topographically consistent with the surrounding existing conditions. Ms.
Lindquist added that Shafer representatives are present to provide additional information on
the clean fill materials and the additional testing materials /reports are included m the packet.
She stated that Shafer would hire and pay the testing bills and the information would be
turned into the City on a quarterly basis.
City Engineer Brotzler stated the first concern was the type of fill being brought in and the
assurance that the City has certainty that the materials being hauled back were acceptable.
After discussions with Shafer and its representatives, a condition was made that the only
matenal allowed for haul -back be from MnDOT projects. He added that from a testing
standpoint, American Engineering Tesnng, Shafer Contracting's soil firm, will certify that the
soil meets the parameters outlined m the conditions Mr. Brotzler stated the Citv has the
ability to crosscheck with MnDOT what is being hauled into the mining area if there is any
concern.
Ms. Lindquist stated there are environmental reviews that occur as part of the MnDOT
projects so there are several checkpoints throughout this process. She echoed Mr. Brotzler's
statements with the initial concerns being about the haul back and impact on the site and
surrounding area The types of issues regarding impacts on surrounding areas are mitigated
by the proposal before the Council. She emphasized it was an annual permit and there will
be an opportunity on a regular basis to modify the permit and recommended approval
conditioned on the changes to the penmt.

Council Member Shoe Corrigan requested an explanation of incidental concrete recycling.
Scott Spisak, of Shafer Contracting stated that as part of their original permit they run a
concrete /asphalt recycling operation at the site. He added the inatenals are not used as fill.
Council Member Shoe Corrigan questioned how Shafer representatives addressed Mr.
Keohncn's concerns about the pond location. Mr. Spisak stated Mr. Keohnen wanted the
pond moved due to concerns that water may percolate through the stormwater pond and
affect his well. Mr. Spisak stated there is a possibility of moving the pond to the west and
that they will be reviewing options when the reclamation plan is subnntted to the City this
fall
Myron Napper, 3381 145' St. E., Rosemount, stated his opposition to the project and
suggested Shafer put a liner in the pond to address potential impacts from infiltration.. He
added his concerns related to the fill being brought into the mining area as part of the haul
back and requested more protection for the water table.
Mr. Brotzler stated that Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments are conducted on
MnDOT projects to identify hazardous contaminants that may be in the project area. He
added if contaminated soils are located on sites, mechanisms are available at different levels
to deal with the problems.
Council Member DeBettignies questioned if the City would have the nght to prohibit any
further extraction of material and terminate operations as necessary Ms. Lindquist
responded he was correct; Shafer needs to comply with all permit conditions or risk
termination of the permit.
