MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Rebecca Haug, Environmental Administrator
DATE:
September 18, 2006
SUBJECT:
Amended Conditional Use Permit for Mineral Excavation/Hot
Mix Asphalt Plant by Bauerly Bros., Inc./ P.H. CU 06-20
At the August 8, 2006 Planning Commission meeting, the request by Bauerly Bros., Inc. to
operate a Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) plant and trucking operation on the Ernest Toth site for
construction of state, county, township and local roadways was tabled pending further
information. At the September 14, 2006 Planning Commission a recommendation to
approve the request was made. The Planning Commission's recommendation to approve
was based on information staff provided after working with Bauerly Bros., Inc. on the issues
raised at the August 8th meeting. Those issues are as follows:
Traffic level: Staff has added language to the CUP which allows for up to 35 trucks a day
unless prior approval is given by the Environmental Administrator for special cases.
Traffic: Staff is requiring Bauerly Bros., Inc. to work with MnDOT to determine if any
improvements to the highway intersection are required. From the attached memo by Terry
Maurer, City Engineer, acceleration lanes would be advisable. The Planning Commission
recommends adding language requiring the applicant to work with both MnDOT and the
City of Elk River to determine if any improvements to the highway intersection are required.
Dust: The applicant is willing to pave a minimum of 100 feet from 225th Ave NW into the
pit to reduce dust.
Odor: Staff has added language to the CUP to address odor:
. Odor from the hot-mix operation must be controlled. The City recognizes
that from time to time odor emissions from the hot-mix asphalt operation
will occur, however, if weather conditions make odor noticeable, the
operator shall take the appropriate measures to reduce odor. If odor
problems can not be resolved by the Operator within 24 hours, the City
reserves the right to take appropriate measures to alleviate the problem,
including temporary cessation of operations.
Interim (IUP) v Conditional use (CUP): After speaking with the City Attorney, his
recommendation is that the City should not change a CUP to a IUP by adding a condition
that imposes a sunset event. However, the Attorney felt it appropriate to add conditions
that were tied to other activities or events. The Planning Commission recommends adding
language stating the HMA is authorized as long as annually 25% of asphalt product is
derived from the gravel operation. This will be monitored through the annual gravel license.
Hours of operation: Staff is proposing to require the applicant's hours be set to the normal
hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, except the hours for the HMA
can be extended by the Environmental Administrator for special cases.
Plant location: Staff has worked with the applicant on defining the location of the plant for
the CUP. Any relocation will require an amendment.
Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of this request under the
conditions contained in the attached conditional use permit. Representatives from
Bauerly Bros., Inc. are in agreement with these conditions and will be present.

PURPOSE:
This application is for a Conditional Use Permit is to operate an asphalt plant and trucking
operations on the Ernest Toth site for the construction of state, county, township and local
roadways.

The actual asphalt plant equipment covers an area approximately 200' x 300' in the proposed
operation area. A layout of the asphalt plant equipment can be found on the site plan maps.
We are requesting 24 hours during the construction season, and winter maintenance.
Bauerly Bros., Inc. will meet all EPA noise level requirements during the time we are allowed
to operate. Berms will be used to reduce the effects of any noise generated from our
operations.
Bauerly Bros., Inc. equipment has been tested and passed air emission standards that
pertain to its location and its operations. We do not handle any hazardous waste at our
asphalt plants. All our fuel tanks are either double-walled or placed with a landfill liner below
them for spill containment. Our asphalt plants are equipped with bag houses for pollution
control equipment. As stated by the MPCA, fabric filters are rated to be 99% efficient in their
effectiveness to capture and control pollution.
We operate under current MPCA Air Quality and Stormwater permits. Bauerly Brothers, Inc.
holds a valid hot mix asphalt plant air emission permit. We will meet all EPA noise level
requirements. Stockpiles will be placed to aid in the reduction of noise.
The existing drainage pattern at this site will not change, drainage will occur on site. There
will be no water leaving this site, changes in vegetation include the area to be graded slightly
at the start of operations, to place equipment and stockpile storage areas. Overburden
topsoil will be stored in berms surrounding the asphalt operations and serve as a screening
barrier, as well as the stockpiles. Approximately 1.6 acres in size will be utilized for
operations.
There will be no impact on groundwater quality provided run-off is properly controlled. Our
NPDES permit with the MPCA is to contain storm water and protect the groundwater on the
site. Water drains vertically on site.
Haul roads and pit entrances will be watered regularly to control air borne dust and if
necessary calcium chloride will be used in accordance with MPCA regulations. 22Sth Avenue
will serve as our access/haul route. Signs will be posted to indicate truck traffic/hauling.
The parking area for employees is contained on the site.
4787 Shadow Wood Dr. NE Sauk Rapids, MN 56379-9690
320.251.9472 Fax 320.251.0011
OPERATIONS:
The proposed project will consist of all equipment necessary to operate an asphalt plant.
This will consist generally of a HMA drum for heating and drying aggregate and mixing
aggregate with asphalt cement (AC), storage tanks for fuels, AC and HMA, aggregate
operations, recycled asphalt operations and aggregate and recycle stockpiles.
The HMA production site will be located on an existing gravel mining site. That site is active
and has a current, valid conditional use permit. Bauerly Bros., Inc. is currently leasing the
site. Aggregate for the production of HMA at the proposed HMA plant will come from both
the on site gravel operation and off site sources, in order to meet current asphalt
specifications.
As stated above a HMA production site includes the storage and processing of aggregate
material and AC. Aggregate is combined with AC to produce asphalt.
Currently, the HMA plant is portable. It is a piece of equipment that enters and leaves the
site on wheels. At this time, there will not be any permanent structures constructed.
Portable temporary storage tanks are placed at the time of operations that contain diesel fuel
for trucks and engines, fuel for the HMA plant burner (used oil and type 6 fuel oil) and A.C.
Tanks meet MPCA requirements. The tanks will be either double walled or bermed with
landfill liners below them.
Existing bituminous asphalt removed from a road as part of a paving project and new shingle
scraps from manufacturing are recycled. All recycled bituminous asphalt associated with a
particular paving project is stored and processed on site as part of hot mix asphalt
production. The recycling operation includes a conveyor, hopper, loader, grinder and the
asphalt plant. Recycled bituminous asphalt can also be used as road base if there is more
than can be used by a particular project.
As noted above, some area will be leveled to allow placement of equipment. This will not be
a significant change in existing topography. The site is currently being mined for sand and
gravel. Because it is mined, the interior slopes change. The area has existing berms.
Vegetation has been and is established on those berms and will not be disturbed. All
drainage water will be contained on site. Slopes on existing berms are currently stabilized
with vegetation. If berms were added (possibly for noise minimization) they would be sloped
no greater then 3: 1 and planted with a pasture mix.
Asphalt plant operations are placed a minimum of 3' above ground water, as recommended
by the MPCA

Rebecca Haug, Environmental Administrator
FROM:
Terry Maurer, City Engineer
DATE:
September 6, 2006
SUBJECT:
Bauerly Companies Gravel Mining Application
I have contacted Craig Robinson, MnDOT Project Manager for TH 169 regarding
improvements to the intersection of 225th Avenue and TH 169. He also talked to Mark
Renn, Permitting Engineer, and they both agree that some type of acceleration lanes would
be advisable where the Bauerly Companies' truck traffic will be entering onto TH 169. I
would recommend adding a condition to their conditional use permit which states that they
must work with MnDOT and construct any required improvements to the highway
intersection to accommodate their anticipated truck traffic. They can contact Mark Renn in
the St. Cloud MnDOT office at 320/223-6522 to discuss the specific improvements that
MnDOT would be looking for at the highway intersection.
If you have any questions regarding this issue, please contact me.

oppose further congestion on 225
9/17/2006
To Whom It May Concern:
We were recently informed of a request by Bauerly Brothers, Inc. requesting permission to
operate an asphalt and trucking operation that would increase the traffic on 225th street.
I live on this road and do not desire further congestion on this road. This road,
particularly the intersection of 225th and 169, is already very busy with semi and dump
trucks. Will you please email me further information about this proposal? Is there an
alternate route?
Sincerely,
Mr & Mrs Shaw
