Less than ten percent of the material would be taken west on County Road J /Ash Street. A grading plan prepared by ICECOR dated June 28, 2012, identifies the site layout, proposed excavation area, silt fence locations, and existing wetlands has been provided for staff review. The applicant estimates that it will take approximately 1,200 truck trips to remove the excavated material from their property. The proposed haul route for the excavated materials from the Encompass excavation site is south on Holly Drive and either east or west on County Road J. Per the applicant, the vast majority of the truck trips will go east on County Road J to 35E; however, there will be approximately 20 trips that will travel west on County Road J. A grading plan for the earth materials excavation site was provided by the applicant's engineer. The plan identifies the existing and proposed contours for the site, proposed drainage patterns, and locations for silt fence and hay bale check dams for erosion control purposes. The City will conduct regular inspections of the site to ensure that all NPDES General Permit requirements are being met. The wetlands on the site have been delineated and are shown on the grading plan submitted by the applicant. Wetlands will not be affected by the excavation or grading.
