The new ordinance includes requirements for a mineral mining conditional use permit (CUP) application including for example a hydrogeological study and work plan, environmental impact analysis and reclamation plan. The CUP standards and review criteria have been updated to include more detailed requirements, limit dewatering and ban offsite discharge of process water. The new ordinance will require annual reports and inspections of mineral mining operations.
