Petition #4508 BLACKBERRY TOWNSHIP

Petitioner: Prairie Lane, LLC (LaFarge Aggregates Illinois)

Location: 1S194 Route 47, Blackberry Township (11-17-151-002 & 006, 11-17-301-001, 11-18-200-004 & 009 & 013, 11-18-400-003 & 005)

Proposed: Special Use in the F-Farming District to expand an existing sand and gravel mining operation

2040 Plan: Agricultural, Proposed Open Space

Objectors: Area property owners

Recommendations: Regional Planning Comm.: N/A

Zoning Board: Approval with the following stipulations:

1. Water Resources will require a stormwater permit for the berms proposed for the site. This permit application must demonstrate that there is no additional runoff created off site and that appropriate Erosion and Sedimentation is in place.

2. It is Water Resources’ understanding that runoff will be managed on site and that the applicant will continue to keep their NPDES permit current and provide the County a copy of this permit. Erosion and Sedimentation practices are to be observed at all times on site.

3. Reclamation plans for site should be reviewed by an outside third party Professional Engineer and Certified Wetland Review Specialist to ensure that the upon retirement of the mining operations the site is returned to pre-existing conditions or improved conditions in terms of stormwater runoff.

Development Committee: Approval with the three recommended stipulations as well as the following additional stipulations:

4. Lafarge will provide a 300-foot mining setback from the Flinn Property which is 100 feet greater than the setback required under the Kane County Code.

5. Lafarge will provide a minimum mining setback of 500 feet from Illinois Route 47 which is more than 350 feet greater than the setback required under the Kane County Code.

6. Lafarge will provide an undisturbed greenspace in excess of 23 acres along Illinois Route 47 and adjacent to the Flinn Property. This no-mining area will either be farmed or planted with native materials. Lafarge reserves the right to develop this property in the future with non-mining uses consistent with the 2040 Kane County Land Use Plan.

7. Lafarge will not request any new entrances in the future.

8. Lafarge has equipped all owned and rental vehicles with white noise backup alarms and will agree to continue this practice until all mining operations are completed.

9. Lafarge will retrofit all existing area light fixtures exceeding a height of ten feet with “dark sky” glare shields within one year of the approval of the Special Use Permit.

10. Lafarge agrees to continue operating under its comprehensive air emission control plan which includes the utilization of street sweepers, water trucks, a wheel wash and a dust boss (dust suppression misting cannon). When faced with sustained winds in excess of 25 mph, Lafarge employees will determine if a plant shutdown is in order based on opacity readings and the exhaustion of all Best Management Practices pursuant to its State operating permit.

11. Lafarge agrees to monitor fugitive dust emissions at mine boundaries of the Meredith Property over 24-hour intervals in compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for PM10 emissions. The PM monitors to be used are considered a “Near Reference” method as the quality of data provided is tied to established air monitoring standards and methods. The data from these monitors is of sufficient precision and quality to complement existing air pollution monitoring equipment. Lafarge will install two dust monitors as recommended by Vibra-Tech along the north and east property lines as indicated on the attached map. One dust monitor will be located on the Flinn Property boundary and will remain as long as mining continues on the Meredith Property. The second dust monitor, located on the Whispering Oaks Estates Subdivision property boundary, will remain in place for no less than two years from installation, however, will be able to be removed from service if the averaged 24-hour collection data over the initial two-year period is less than 80% of the NAAQS compliance limit for PM10 emissions. Neither monitor will be installed until mining commences on the Meredith Property. Therefore, monitoring will occur after the demolition of farm buildings and the stripping/placement of top soils and overburden has been placed in vegetated berms along the perimeter of the mine. The real-time data generated by the monitors will be accessible by the Kane County Zoning Enforcement Officer, as well as Lafarge.

12. Lafarge agrees to monitor noise levels (dBA) at mine boundaries of the Meredith Property over hourly-daily intervals in compliance with Federal and State Sound Emission Standards near residential properties. Lafarge will install two noise monitors as recommended by Vibra-Tech along the north and east property lines as indicated on the attached map. One noise monitor will be located on the Flinn Property boundary and will remain as long as mining continues on the Meredith Property. The second noise monitor, located on the Whispering Oaks Estates Subdivision property boundary, will remain in place for no less than two years from installation, however, will be able to be removed from service if the averaged (Leq A- weighted) or Lmax permissible noise level data collected on an hourly and daily interval over the initial two-year period, falls under acceptable limits. Neither monitor will be installed until mining commences on the Meredith Property. Therefore, monitoring will occur after the demolition of farm buildings and, the stripping and placement of top soils and overburden has been placed in vegetated berms along the perimeter of the mine. The real-time data generated by the monitors will be accessible by the Kane County Zoning Enforcement Officer, as well as Lafarge.

13. Lafarge will maintain a neighborhood contact system and will cooperate with the Kane County Zoning Enforcement Officer to promptly address any concerns or complaints raised with respect to its operations. Lafarge will keep a log documenting all complaints as well as the response to said complaints.
