The purpose of the plant is for the DOT to get aggregate for their projects. There haven’t been any complaints that we know of. Tom Crabb stated the project was not obvious from the application. He doesn’t want the plant to move locations before the 10 yr. renewal. Mr. Loger said it would only move a couple 100 ft from it’s current location due to it needing to be by the high capacity well. Fernando Delk asked if the plant would impact the well water. Mr. Loger stated the plant has to abide by the strict State & DNR guidelines. Attorney Helquist suggested a condition in the CUP that the plant is not going to move. Commissioner Ballweg would like to change the wording for the noise limits. Commissioner Acker suggested the wording change on the CUP under the Expiration of Permit to a 5-year limit instead of 365 days since the plant doesn’t run every year. If issues arise, the board can revisit the CUP. Motion by Commissioner Wright, seconded by Commissioner Ballweg to close the public hearing and return to the regular meeting.
