The property consists of 152.8 acres of wooded, wetland and open
space areas. The wetlands have been delineated on the site. There
are 11 wetland basins on the site itself encompassing a total of 40.95
acres. The individual wetlands range in size from 0.05 to 16.70
acres. Upland areas of the site drain to the wetland basins which
have a general overflow direction to the northeast. There is a
manmade ditch running through the most northeasterly wetland
basin that flows off site towards the northeast. Land cover is
illustrated on Figure 2, an aerial photograph of the site.
G
The elevation of the wetlands ranges from 945-965.9 feet above
mean sea level (msl). The upland areas reach elevations over 1020
feet above msl. Slopes vary throughout the site. Slopes adjacent to
some of the wetlands are up to 40-50% (2.5:1 to 2:1 -horizontal to
vertical). There is a prominent ridge running north-south through the
property. The topography immediately surrounding the site is similar
in nature, although many of the adjoining properties have been
disturbed from mining activity. Figure 3 is a U.S.G.S. Quad map
excerpt that illustrates the site setting with respect to the surrounding
area.
The depth of topsoil on the site varies, but averages from
approximately six to 24 inches in areas to be mined.
There is one abandoned residential garage on the site itself and
there is a commercial site with one building located within 100 feet of
the western property line. Elk River Extreme Motor Park is adjacent
to the site western property line. Land use surrounding the site
includes commercial, agricultural and mining. This property, as well
as properties to the north, east and west of the site, is included in the
gravel-mining district studied in the Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) approved by the City of Elk River in June 1994 (City of Elk
River, May 1994). Properties immediately north of this property were
added to the gravel-mining district in 2004. These added properties
were both subjects of Environmental Assessment Worksheets
prepared in 2004. This property is zoned for mining and guided for
mining in the 2004 comprehensive plan.
There are several isolated wetland basins located throughout the
site. These wetlands have been field delineated. A wetland
delineation report was submitted to the City, the LGU, on August 19,
2010.
' Mining will directly impact two small wetland basins, wetland basin 8,
encompassing 0.13 acres and wetland basin 13, encompassing 0.59
acres. A wetland replacement plan will be submitted for approval

prior to mining activity adjacent to these wetlands. Replacement will
be in the immediate area of wetland loss. A 25 foot buffer will be
maintained around the perimeter of the wetland areas. This buffer
will remain vegetated to provide filtering of stormwater. Additional
erosion control measures will be implemented to treat stormwater
that may discharge towards the wetland basins. These measures
will include as necessary, silt fence, diversion berms, filter logs, and
temporary sedimentation/infiltration basins. Reclamation grades will
maintain the overall drainage areas to the wetland basins.
The site is designated as Flood Zone X on the FEMA Flood
Insurance Rate Map. Flood Zone X is an area determined to be
outside of the 100 year floodplain.
c) Estimate of quantity of material to be mined:
An estimated 2.45 million cy of material will be mined on the site.
d) Depth of water table:
The depth of the water table was identified during the EIS process.
Based on information presented in the EIS, the elevation of the water
table varies from approximately 945 feet above msl in the northwest
corner of the site to approximately 942 feet above msl in the
southeast corner of the site. Groundwater flows in a northwest to
southeast direction.
e) Average thickness of overburden
Sand and gravel is found immediately below the topsoil.
8.) Plan of Operation:
Operations at the site will include clearing and grubbing, stripping topsoil
and stockpiling on site. In wooded areas, trees will be harvested for use
as lumber and/or bio-fuel. Once an area is cleared the sand and gravel
will be removed using front end loaders and excavators. Other
operation will include crushing, screening, washing, stockpiling, material
transfer, hauling and reclamation activities. Recycling of concrete and
asphalt may also occur at the site.
Processing equipment for crushing, screening and washing will be
brought to the site periodically as needed. Crushing, screening and
washing will take place throughout the mining operation. The location of
the equipment will vary throughout the life of the operation. Equipment
will follow the movement of the active mine face. Conveyors will be
Tiller Corporation
Conditional Use Permit Application
August 30, 2010
Page 17
used throughout the site to convey material from the active face to the
processing equipment. Aggregate stockpiles and accessory equipment
will be located throughout the site.
Water for the washing activities will be provided from onsite ground
water ponds after receiving necessary State approvals.
Sedimentation ponds will be constructed adjacent to the washing
equipment to allow for settlement of silts and then recycle the washwater
back to the plant minimizing the amount of water needed. Washwater
will not be discharged off site. The washplant sedimentation ponds will
be temporary. When washing operations are complete or as
sedimentation ponds begin to fill, the silt will be removed, dried and
blended with onsite materials and used for reclamation.
1
The following measures will be implemented to protect groundwater
quality:
• Limited equipment maintenance will be performed on-site
and Tiller's spill prevention policies will be followed.
• A service truck will come to the site to perform routine
maintenance. All used lubricating oil will be collected by facility
personnel and hauled off-site to a central collection point (waste
oil is not classified as hazardous waste). The service truck will
carry a spill containment kit.
• Any fuel stored on site will be stored in above ground tanks
in accordance with MPCA and local rules. Alternatively, a service
truck may be used to fuel equipment as needed.
n
• A Spill Prevention Control and Counter Measures Plan
(SPCC Plan) will be prepared for the site. The plan will document
procedures to be followed in the event of a spill or release at the
site. Tiller's policy regarding spills is that any spill of oil, gasoline,
diesel fuel, or lubricant is to be reported to Tiller's Land Use
Coordinator, and cleaned up promptly. Any spills of 5 gallons or
more of petroleum products or any volume of hazardous materials
are reported to the state duty officer as required by applicable
state statutes and regulations (Minn. Stat. 299K)
• Topping off tanks of any kind is not allowed under company
procedures.

• Spill cleanup equipment will be available on-site including
equipment to excavate and remove impacted soils in an expedited
fashion, fire extinguishers, absorbent pads, spill blocker dikes,
empty barrels, rags and shovels.
On-site groundwater ponds will supply water for dust control.
No explosives will be used at the site.
9.) Drainage, erosion control, sedimentation, dust, access control, security
and weeds and unsightly vegetation:
1
The site has a prominent ridge that runs north south through the
property, flanked on either side by scattered wetland basins. A
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency NPDES permit will be required and
as component of this permit, a stormwater pollution prevention plan will
be prepared for the site. This plan will include measures to prevent
untreated surface water that comes in contact with disturbed ground or
aggregate stockpiles from discharging into the on-site wetlands.
Sedimentation basins, silt fence, diversion berms, drainage swales,
vegetated filter strips or other appropriate best management practices
will be utilized to control drainage and prevent sedimentation and
erosion.
Erosion of finished slopes will be minimized by backfilling to a minimum
slope of 4:1 and seeding and mulching. Screening berms will be
constructed to a minimum of 3:1 slopes and seeded and mulched in a
timely manner.
Dust will be controlled by utilizing a water truck on the access and
internal haul roads. Perimeter berms may also be constructed to
minimize dust.
The site will be kept in a neat and orderly fashion. Perimeter berms will
be maintained. Weeds will be controlled using standard industry
practices, such as mowing, and herbicides.
' 10.) Rehabilitation Plan
A variety of products will be produced at this site. Due to the variation of
material across the site, active mining will occur in two or more areas at
any given time in order to achieve the necessary blend of materials
needed to produce Bituminous Aggregate, Class 5 Aggregate or other
specific aggregate products. In general, mining will begin in the central
portion of the Site and proceed outward to the mining limits. Upon
completion of mining at the perimeter of the mining areas, reclamation
r Tiller Corporation Page 19

.
can proceed in accordance with the Reclamation Plan, Sheet
Reclamation activities at the site will consist of backfilling, grading, and
seeding.
Reclamation grades will be established by backfilling and grading mined
areas to elevations that will in general establish pre-mining drainage
patterns to the adjacent low areas. Final grades will range from 1 % to
25%. Final restoration grades are shown on the Reclamation Plan,
Sheet C3.
Topsoil will be placed over the graded and backfilled areas and then
subsequently seeded and mulched. Seeded areas will be inspected to
insure the establishment of adequate vegetation. Topsoil will come from
on-site sources, and be placed in a layer to a minimum depth of three
(3) inches in accordance with the city ordinance.
Portions of a given phase, for example, along borders of subsequent
phases, within the processing and operations area and along haul
roads, may be left at an intermediate stage of reclamation until
completion is practical.
III. STANDARDS
1.) Boundary:
' Extraction operations shall be conducted within the boundary of the site
and in accordance with the plans included in this application.
2.) Setbacks:
Mining will be setback 50 feet from the boundary of any zone where
mining operations are not a permitted use and 30 feet from the
boundary of an adjacent property which is in the mineral extraction
overlay district. There will be no setback from a boundary line adjacent
to property permitted for mining. Excavation must be setback a
minimum of five feet from any public utility. Setbacks and mining limits
are illustrated on the Mining and Phasing Plan, Sheet C2.
