Motion Carried. APPROVE RENEWAL OF MINING PERMIT FOR RIVER CITY ASPHALT River City Asphalt requested renewal of its mining permit for its gravel pit located at 14200 Irish Avenue. As per the terms of the special use permit, the applicant has until November 1, 2004 to continue operation of the pit. Staff reviewed the permit and the site and found that it is in general compliance with the permit; however, staff is concerned that the current restoration bond for $43,750 is not sufficient to cover the complete restoration of the site. A condition of the mining permit requires the City Engineer to review the site and provide an updated cost estimate for the reclamation, and for the applicant to adjust the performance bond accordingly. Council was most concerned with restoration of the site, and that the applicant provides an adequate bond to reflect the cost of reclamation. Miron made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve renewal of the mining permit for River City Asphalt until November 2004, which will allow the applicant to continue to remove material and reclaim the site. Approval is subject to reclamation review by the City Engineer to set the bond amount. All aye. Motion Carried.
