Dyerville Bar Surface Mining Permit
Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN) 211-141-003
Record No.: PLN-2025-19191
Weott area
A 15-year reapproval of a recently expired Conditional Use Permit (CUP-09-092XX/PLN-13823-SMA) and Surface Mining Permit (SMP-01-92X) including a Reclamation Plan (RP-01-92X) for surface mining on a gravel bar on the Eel River. The project is for extraction and storage of gravel from the river bar for use in County Road maintenance activities in the region. This proposal is extraction of up to 28,000 cubic yards of gravel every three years, as frequently as annually for 15 years. Skimming is the preferred method of extraction, but the extraction volume, location and extraction method will be based on the recommendations of CHERT and other regulatory agencies. Access to the site is from Dyerville Loop Road via the existing haul road located on the west side of the bar. Equipment used for extraction include bulldozer or excavator, front-end loader, and dump trucks. Extraction activities will occur between September 16 and November 1 to avoid the northern spotted owl and marbled murrelet nesting periods and to ensure completion of work before the winter rainy season. A portable crusher assembly will be temporarily located adjacent to the existing stockpile area. Crushing activities will avoid nesting periods.
