He stated there will be no fuel storage or washing of vehicles on the site, noise is restricted to the Industrial limit, and Development Standards (DS) #3 thru #15 address Environmental Health items. He suggested adding language to DS #10 to address the screening of portable toilets. • Andrew Rodriguez, Civil Resources, represented the applicant and shared a PowerPoint presentation showing project location, pictures of surrounding areas, company overview, project description, mining plan, and reclamation plan.

Ms. Balzano suggested deleting the second sentence in COA #2.A (tracking control options), and the Board agreed.

She suggested changing the language in DS #17 from "the public road" to "County Road 36", deleting DS #20 (IA), and deleting DS #21 (IA review schedule), and adding language to DS #26 about operating during a declared State of Emergency, and the Board agreed to all of the changes.
