Conn. Surface Mining Ordinance Due Members of the Board of Com missioners have been asked to adopt an ordinance providing for the reclam ation of land scarred by surface mining. The proposal also would regulate such operations, requiring that sit es be screened by landscaping, that they be separated f r o m homes and roads, that dust em is sion be controlled and. under cer tain conditions, that safety fencing be installed. A public hearing on the plan has been scheduled for June 21 at 2 p.m. in the courthouse. County and Planning Com m is sion officials say the proposal is based upon two principal consid erations. It is desirable, they feel, to re quire that lands where strip min ing has been carried out be r e stored. as far as practical, m the interests of safety and further use fulness. Secondly, a new law says that if counties do not adopt such re gulations the state will move in and enforce its own. Since there are large subsur face gravel deposits in Columbia County— and since extensive bau xite mining may occurJafficiab feel that local controls m ay be desirable. The proposed ordinance would not affect sm aller operations or lands where surface mining had been carried out prior to its adop tion. It would require perm its and fi nancial guarantees that recla m a tion would be accom plished after mining had ceased Perm its would be granted by the governing body on the advice of a review com m ittee composed of the county’s planning coordina tor and two members appointed by the commissioners. At least one industry opinion has been voiced. Spokesmen for P a ci fic Building Materials Co., which operates the county'j largest g ra vel mining site near Scappoose say they favor adoption of such regulations. Mis.
