Processing:
There will be initial processing of the aggregate and sand through a screener,which sorts the material by size. The material is carried away from the screener
by conveyor. The materials are then transported off site for use. The screening
process results in an increase in the ambient noise level due to shaking of the
material. The hours of operation and the vegetation surrounding the quarry limitthe nuisance level of noise to the surrounding properties.
Excavations will remain above the water table. Dewatering of the mine will notbe required.
Safety:
Applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and MineSafety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations are in place and
enforced during the life of the operation. Personnel are supplied with protectivemasks and hearing protection for use during operation of equipment.
No fuel or Chemicals shall be stored on-site. No explosives will be stored on the site.
Traffic:
The quarry is proposing to generate a total of 600 truck trips per day (300 trucksin and 300 trucks out) and 14 employee trips per day (7 in and 7 out). Thisequates to 60 truck trips and 7 employee trips in the peak hours (30 trucks in and
30 trucks out ~ 7 employee trips in or out) Truck traffic is proposed to travel
along CSAH 6 and CSAH29 and enter and exit off of I-90 east of CSAH 29 toWinona along industrial haul routes.
A Traffic Impact Study was prepared for this development and is attached as partof the Conditional Use Permit application. The purpose of the study was to
determine if the proposed development will significantly impact the adjacenttransportation system and to recommend mitigation measures if necessary.
No road segments are forecasted to reach capacity with the additional trucktraffic.
Project Phasing Notes:
Excavations shall be limited to 10 acre phases unless approval from WinonaCounty is granted.
Reclamation shall commence within 90 days of the completion of each phaseunless approval from Winona County is granted.
Once phase one is complete the rock face shall be excavated horizontally into theslope to the quarry limits.
Each phase shall have erosion control BMPs (silt fence, sedimentation basins,grass swales, etc) installed prior to the commencement of any mining activities.
The duration of mining is estimated at 10 years but may be prolonged orshortened due to market conditions.

Sequence of Operations and Methods is:
1. Survey phase limits and areas not to be disturbed.2. Install perimeter silt fence. Construct down slope erosion control measures.3. Remove surface vegetation in the area to be excavated. Large woody material
may be chipped and stockpiled for mulch.
4.
Strip and stockpile topsoil. Seed the topsoil stockpile to establish vegetation toprevent erosion. A pasture mix with a nursery crop of oats or rye are acceptableseed mixes.
5. Construct any temporary sedimentation basins and their outlets.6. Construction any diversion ditches and berms to direct any stormwater runoff
from the current phase of construction to the temporary sedimentation basins.7. Remove overburden materials and either stockpile or place in areas where they
can permanently remain as part of the reclamation plan. Suitable materials from
the overburden will be used for access roads. Areas downstream of stockpilesmust be protected with vegetated berms, wood chip berms, silt fence or other
approved BMPs.
8.
Sideslopes of berm, ditches, roads and temporary basins are to be covered withtopsoil and seeded to reestablish vegetation.
9. Limestone having marketable value may be excavated, crushed, screened andstockpiled. Unsuitable limestone will be placed with overburden in stockpiles or
in reclamation area.10.Course sands are excavated, pulverized, screened to remove aggregate chunks or
debris that may find its way into the product and stockpiled.
11.Fine sands are excavated, pulverized, screened to remove aggregate chunks ordebris that may find its way into the product and stockpiled.
12.Material is loaded into trucks and weighed for transport to an offsite transferfacility or processing facility.
13.Unsuitable sand, approximately 25% hauled to the offsite processing facility, ishauled back to the quarry and placed in stockpiles or placed in areas where it canpermanently remain as part of the reclamation plan.
14.After sand material is exhausted from the current phase limits and overburden andwaste materials have been placed and leveled per the reclamation plan, topsoil isrespread.
15.When all construction activity is complete in the reclaimed area, and temporarydiversions ditches/berms and temporary basins are removed and disturbed areas
stabilized.16.The site is seeded and stabilized through revegetation. A pasture mix with a
nursery crop of oats or rye are acceptable seed mixes.
17.Final terrain is returned to pasture land, forest or a combination thereof.NOTE: Additional activities may be warranted due to site conditions, weather conditions
or phasing limitations.
Notes:
A NPDES/SDS permit is required for this project. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been written for this
project and must be adhered to. The SWPPP shall be a part of these plans.

RECLAMATION PLAN
Site reclamation shall be in accordance with the Winona County Zoning OrdinanceSection 9.10.4 Reclamation and any other applicable County, State or Federal Laws and
Regulations.
As defined in the Operation and Reclamation Plan (Figure 3), reclamation will take placein phases such that disturbed areas are limited to a maximum of 10 acres being open at
any one time. After sand has been removed to the design elevation, overburden and
unsuitable sands will be placed in lifts, leveled and compacted. Other than the exposedrock face, the reclaimed areas will have slopes of no more than 4(H):1(V). Once this
area has reached its final design elevation, topsoil from either stockpiles or ongoing
stripping will be spread evenly on top. The reclaimed area will be seeded with a pasturegrade grass mix.
Reclamation will be an ongoing process. Depending on the market for the material and
potential expansions, the timeline for mining and reclaiming the site could be 5 to 20years.
Final UseOnce grass has had an opportunity to become established, which may take more than one
growing season, the reclaimed area may be fenced and pastured or it may be left to
nature. Due to the lack of adequate topsoil and subsoils, the reclaimed areas are notintended to be put into row crop cultivation. The reclaimed areas would be conducive to
some agricultural development through forestry. The final use will be determined by the
property owner.
The site shall remain in compliance with soil erosion standards set forth in the Countyand/or Township zoning ordinance.

between the hours of 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM CST. Permission maybe granted for operations beyond these hours to respond to public or
private emergencies or whenever any reasonable or necessary repairs
to equipment are required to be made.
7. TOPSOIL MANAGEMENT:
a. Removal: Removal of on-site topsoil and topsoil substitute
material removal, when specified in the reclamation plan, shall
be performed, prior to any mining activity associated with any
specific phase of the mining operation.
b. Volume: The operator shall obtain the volume of soil required to
perform final reclamation by removal of on-site topsoil or topsoil
substitute material or by obtaining topsoil or substitute materialas needed to make up the volume of topsoil as specified in the
reclamation plan approved pursuant to this chapter.
c. Storage: Once removed, topsoil or topsoil substitute material
shall, as required by the reclamation plan approved pursuant to
this chapter, either be used in contemporaneous reclamation or
stored in an environmentally acceptable manner. The location of
stockpiled topsoil or topsoil substitute material shall be chosen
to protect the material from erosion or further disturbance
or contamination. Runoff water shall be diverted around all
locations in which topsoil or topsoil substitute material is
stockpiled.
8. FINAL GRADING & SLOPES:
a. All areas affected by mining shall be addressed in the approved
reclamation plan, pursuant to Chapter 9 to provide that a stable
and safe condition consistent with the post-mining land use is
achieved. The reclamation plan may designate high walls or
other unmined and undisturbed natural solid bedrock as stable
and safe and not in need of reclamation or designate other areas
affected by mining including slopes comprised of unconsolidated
139

materials that exceed a 3:1 slope, whether or not graded,
as stable and safe. For slopes designated as stable under
this Subsection, the County may require that a site-specific
engineering analysis be performed by a registered professional
engineer to demonstrate that an acceptable slope stability factor
is attainable at a steeper slope.
b. Final reclaimed slopes covered by topsoil or topsoil substitute
material may not be steeper than a 4:1 horizontal to vertical
incline, unless demonstrated based on site-specific engineering
analysis performed by a registered professional engineer. All
areas in the extraction pit site where topsoil or topsoil substitute
material is to be reapplied shall be graded or otherwise
prepared prior to topsoil or topsoil substitute material
redistribution to provide the optimum adherence between the
topsoil or topsoil substitute material and the underlying material.
c. When the approved post-mining land use includes a body of
water, the approved final grade at the edge of a body of water
shall extend vertically six (6) feet below the lowest seasonal
water level. A slope no steeper than 3:1 shall be created at a
designated location or locations, depending on the size of the
water body to allow for a safe exit.
9. DRIVEWAY/ACCESS FOR SITE:
a. Driveway/access to the commercial/industrial site shall not
be located within twenty-five (25) feet of adjacent property
boundaries.
b. Driveway/access shall also receive applicable Township/Highway
Department/State/Federal approval.
9.10.4 Reclamation

Reclamation shall be complete within one (1) calendar year after
operation ceases. The following standards shall apply:
1. Within a period of three (3) months after the termination of a
operation, or within three (3) months after abandonment of such
operation for a period of six (6) months, or within three (3) months
after expiration of a permit, all buildings, structures and plans
incidental to such operation shall be dismantled and removed by, and
at the expense of, the mining operator last operating such buildings,
structures and plants.
2. Topsoil Redistribution for Reclamation: Topsoil or topsoil substitutematerial shall be redistributed in accordance with the reclamation
plan approved pursuant to this chapter in a manner which minimizes
compacting and prevents erosion. Topsoil or topsoil substitute
material shall be uniformly redistributed except where uniform
redistribution is undesirable or impractical. Topsoil or topsoil
substitute material redistribution may not be performed during or
immediately after a precipitation event until the soils have sufficiently
dried.

Project Overview:
7/31/2019 Dabelstein CUP Resubmittal 09-21-2012
45/228
An Operations and Reclamation Plan has been created for this project. These documentsshall be a part of this SWPPP as they include erosion prevention measures and sediment
controls that, when implemented, will decrease soil erosion within and from leaving the
property being developed and decrease pollution in receiving waters.
The site is currently used for agricultural purposes. The site consists of pasture grasses,some tillable acreage and minor areas of trees. There are no wetlands, water courses,major drainage systems or impounded waters on-site. There is currently one well on the
property which is used for residential purposes.
An Voluntary EAW was performed for this project.
We concluded that no wetlands are present in the area to be disturbed based on the
following: The NWI maps do not indicate any wetlands present. The site does not have ahistory of flooding. A walk through of the site did not discover any natural wetland
communities.
Existing Conditions:
In general, the project area drains from northwest to southeast. The site consists of
pasture grasses, some tillable acreage and minor areas of trees. There are no wetlands,
water courses, major drainage systems or impounded waters on-site. Excavation shall belimited to the 36.5 acre area depicted on the Existing Conditions Map. If future phases of
excavation are planned, the Operation and Reclamation Plan and this Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan will need to be updated. The only impervious surface withinthe project area will be the aggregate access drive.
Proposed Conditions:
Impervious Surfacing:
Onsite conditions include 0.0 acres of impervious surfaces. Post construction there willbe the less than 0.5+ acres of impervious surfaces. Per the reclamation plan the entire
disturbed area is to be returned to vegetation as to aid in erosion prevention. The only
impervious surface that may remain is the aggregate access drive.
Receiving Waters:
Waters leaving the site shall be collected in temporary sedimentation basins which allows
for sediments to settle out prior to leaving the site. There are no Impaired or Specialwaters within one mile of the quarry based on a check of the MPCA website
(http://www.pca.state.mn.us/water/tmdl/index.html) on 5-27-2012.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They
highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about
the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many
different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners,
community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also,
conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal,
and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance
the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may imposespecial restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties
that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information
is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on
various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying
with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
Examples include soil quality assessments (http://soils.usda.gov/sqi/) and certain
conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact
your local USDA Service Center (http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?
agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://soils.usda.gov/contact/
state_offices/).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic
tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or
underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department
of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural
Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil
Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is availablethrough the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil
Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas
in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and
their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations
affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of
the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and
the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is
the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the
surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the
surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and otherliving organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas
(MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share
common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources,
soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically
consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is
related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area.
Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of
landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous
areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the
landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus,during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable
degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the
landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by
an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify
predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them toidentify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of
soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
5
7/31/2019 Dabelstein CUP Resubmittal 09-21-2012
56/228
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have
similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique
combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictableproportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of
the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes
the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and
landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of
resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is
needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and
experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-
landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific
locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number ofmeasurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These
measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to
bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of
sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from
one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpretthe data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics
and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different
uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils
in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are
modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet
local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information,
production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop
yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from
field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such
variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long
periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soilscientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have
a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a
high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields,
roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and namedaccording to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape,
however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the
Top Related
