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.
