Abstract
Environmental assessment proposes the expansion of the Pit to provide a long-term, economical, and readily accessible source of aggregate material that meets quality standards for transportation standards. The Oregon Department of Transportation is requesting a 10-year permit to utilize the rock for a variety of projects, including a US Highway 395 overlay, and the Pit is expected to be used for such actions as graveling and pothole filling by the Forest Service and local road departments. Decision notice announces implementation of Alternative B of project EA, expanding the Pit by 2.7 acres, making available 275,000 cubic yards of material, and issuing a permit allowing the temporary use of crushing, screening, and batch plant equipment.
