30-12 MINING, QUARRY, SAND AND GRAVEL EXCAVATION OPERATIONS: Modification of an Excavation Permit

Any Excavation Permit issued may be modified in the following manner: A. Modification of the Excavation Permit Plans. Modification of the Excavation Permit plans may be initiated by the Operator where minor revisions are sought on the approved grading plan, schedule of proposed operation, or proposed reclamation plan. Any modification initiated by the City must be based on a compelling, countervailing public interest as defined under Utah Law. 1. For purposes of this section minor revisions shall mean changes or variances of up to thirty percent (30%) of each parameter of the Operation and Reclamation Plan. 14 2. Consideration of such revisions need not require a public hearing provided that in the judgment of the CDD the proposed revisions would not constitute significant changes, and provided also, that the permittee has not expressly requested that a public hearing be held. B. Modification Exception. Changes in equipment are not considered a modification of the Excavation Permit and do not require approval by the CDD unless such changes significantly alter the scope of the operation or violate noise or operational limitations, as determined by the CDD. C. Other Modification to the Excavation Permit Plans. Other amendments or modifications to the Excavation Permit that are not deemed minor revisions as defined in section 30- 12(A)(1) or determined by the CDD shall require compliance with the approval process set forth in section 30-4 above.
