Commissioners approve
Rock It quarry expansion
BY JOHN TILLMAN
Hermiston Herald
Umatilla County commis-
sioners at the June 1 board
meeting approved a request
to expand a Hermiston-area
rock quarry.
Quarry owner Wade Aylett
requested to expand a pre-
viously approved aggregate
quarry, Rock It No. 2. He also
asked to add the site to the
Umatilla County Comprehen-
sive Plan list of Goal 5 pro-
tected significant sites.
Broad statewide planning
Goal 5 covers more than a
dozen resources, including
wildlife habitat, historic places
and gravel mines. To protect
and plan for them, the Oregon
Department of Land Conser-
vation and Development asks
local governments to create a
number of inventories.
Aylett requested to apply an
aggregate resource overlay zone
to the entire quarry site, as well.
The property site consists of
COURTS
eight tax lots just southeast of
the Interstate 82 and Interstate
84 interchange near Hermis-
ton. The site covers approxi-
mately 140 acres, zoned Exclu-
sive Farm Use.
No one spoke in opposition
to the requests.
The Umatilla County Plan-
ning Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the
requests. All county commis-
sioners voted in favor of Rock It
No. 2’s application.
