side) of the Hill. Big River will move the Crusher to the westerly side of the hill as soon as 
possible.

Executive Summary & Findings 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
Site History 
Big River Holdings Inc. ("Big River") currently operates a rock quarry for the 
production of crushed basalt rock at the location just southwest of Highway 26, at approximately 
mile post 2.5, Big River refers to this facility as the Ordway Quarry. Currently, and prior to its 
acquisition by Big River, Ordway Quarry was operated by Osburn Brothers Rock under a 
conditional use permit. Mineral extraction activities have occurred on the site for a number of 
years and the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan background document has specific references 
to the Ordway Quarry in the 1980's. In the past few years, the site has provided embankment 
material and crushed rock for a number of projects, including the Cannon Beach interchange, the 
South Jetty repair project, and the Cannon Beach wastewater treatment project. 
Current and Proposed Operations 
The site is currently operated under a conditional use approval granted by Clatsop 
County. Under the existing conditional use approval, operations may occur year around between 
the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., but crushing is not allowed from January 1 to April 1 of 
each year. The conditional use does not allow blasting on the site. 
Even with these restrictions, the conditional use permit allows Big River to 
extract rock to meet the need of rock materials in the southern portion of Clatsop County. The 
County's Comprehensive Plan recognizes that quality mineral and aggregate resources are rare in 
the county and the Ordway Quarry is one of few operating quarries in the county that is located 
reasonably close to the growing south county area. 
Big River has obtained a lease from the adjoining land owner, Weyerhaeuser Inc., 
that will allow reconfiguration and expansion of the Ordway Quarry. Big River proposes to 
modify its excavation plan and reorient quarry operations on the combined 
Ordway/Weyerhaeuser site. This reorientation will allow Big River to maintain vegetation on 
the northerly and easterly sides of the excavation area as well as maintain a lip of rock to provide 
a visual and sonic barrier for Big River's operations on the site. Expansion will allow a 
rationalization of operations in a way that makes it more efficient for Big River to extract 
material from the site, while at the same time reducing the visual effects of the site to our 
neighbors on the east/northeast. The reconfiguration of the mining on the site will also help 
obscure expanded operations from individuals traveling on Highway 26 and will reduce the 
operational impacts (such as dust and noise) at the same time. Big River will continue to use its 
existing ODOT approved entry and exit within the allowable trip limits established by the current 
access permit. While Big River's plan is to continue to use the existing permitted access, we are 
open to discussions regarding a circular haul truck route that would designate the existing access 
way (at approximately mile post 2.66 on Highway 26) as "in-only." To complete a circular haul 
truck route, exit from the site would be on Weyerhaeuser's existing Vollmer Creek Road through 
the existing and ODOT-approved access point at approximately mile post 2.26 on Highway 26 or 
through an existing access owned by Big River at mile post 2.50, just to the west of the existing 
- 1 -
access. To effectuate the alternative, Big River would need additional approved average daily 
deliveries and would need assurances from ODOT that significant access improvements or 
improvements to Highway 26 would not be required. Big River has had ongoing discussions 
with ODOT in this regard and we expect ODOT guidance in the planning process. 
In addition to the improvements in the layout of the mining operations, this 
application also requests an expanded window for crushing operations on the site by eliminating 
the current January 1 to April 1 prohibition on crushing. Big River also requests permission to 
conduct controlled blasting in conformance with the applicable regulations. At this point in its 
development, the quarry rock resource can be "ripped" with mechanical equipment and blasting 
is not necessary. However, our geology report (as indicated below) demonstrates that significant 
hard and unweathered basalt is present on the site under the more weathered basalt that can be 
mechanically ripped. After the new site orientation is opened up allowing access from the 
Weyerhaeuser land, the harder and commercially more valuable basalt resource will be available 
for mining. While controlled blasting will not occur immediately, we believe it will eventually 
be necessary to fracture the unweathered basalt to allow it to be extracted from the site. We 
emphasize that controlled blasting will not be an every day occurrence. Rather, our request is 
that controlled blasting be allowed from time to time, as needed, to open up new material for the 
operation. Once the onsite basalt can no longer be ripped, we request that controlled blasting be 
allowed at the site. The requested year-round crushing will permit Big River to use smaller 
controlled blasts to loosen the hardened basalt material because smaller batches can be crushed 
on site as needed. If the seasonal crushing restrictions were to occur, a series of larger controlled 
blasts might be needed to stockpile material for the January 1 to April 1 period when crushing is 
not currently allowed. 
Big River will not be increasing the truck traffic from the site beyond the 
allowable threshold established by ODOT's "change in use" rules. The company's ODOT 
access permit for the existing access site at mile post 2.66, allows 40 truck trips per day, based 
on an annual average. While the size of the extraction area will increase, the amount of material 
taken from the site will not increase. The purpose of this application is to protect future rock 
reserves while generally continuing operations at their existing level, consistent with ODOT's 
"change of use" rules. 
Expert Evidence Required by the Goal 5 Rule (OAR 660-023-0180(8)(ay(eV) 
As required by the Goal 5 rule, we have provided a geologic investigation report 
from Environmental Science Associates which discusses, among other issues, the location, 
quality and quantity of the mineral and aggregate resource on the Ordway Quarry. 
Environmental Science Associates estimates that there is more than five million tons of 
high-quality of mineral and aggregate material that may be extracted from the site. This is in 
excess of 5 million cubic yards of material using a conservative conversion factor. Reserves, at 
the existing site (tax lot 101) are estimated to be an additional 2 million tons. 
We have also provided a detailed transportation analysis prepared by Associated 
Transportation Engineering & Planning ("ATEP") demonstrating that access is under the 
- 2 -
jurisdiction ofODOTandis currently approved. The transportation analysis also confirms 
compliance with the transportation planning rules. The transportation analysis also explains the 
one-way circular haul truck traffic model, in the event ODOT would prefer this scenario, and 
would provide for additional average daily deliveries by Big Rock. Finally, we have also 
enclosed a detailed noise study by Daly-Standlee & Associates showing that operations 
(including blasting) on the Ordway property will meet all DEQ noise standards. 
APPLICATION BACKGROUND 
Since well before 1980, mineral and aggregate material has been extracted from 
the Ordway site. Early extraction operations concentrated on embankment material because of 
the weathered nature of the basalt resource at the surface of the site, However, operations over 
the years have moved deeper into the hillside, uncovering hard and high-quality basalt. The site 
was operated for years by Osbum Brothers Rock and purchased in 2006 by Big River, Big River 
has operated under an existing conditional use pemiit. However, the shape of the Big River 
property lines does not follow the actual contours of the mineral and aggregate resource. 
Accordingly, Big River approached Weyerhaeuser, the property owner to the north and west of 
the Ordway Quarry, with a proposal to expand the physical size of the quarry. 
It is important to note that by using the term "expansion" we do not mean a 
significant intensification of the use of the site. Rather, we are expanding the boundaries of the 
site to allow for more efficient and rational operation of the quarry and to allow operational 
upgrades (i.e., re-oriented mining floor; one way circular haul truck loop, etc.). The additional 
expansion area will allow for preservation and use of additional rock resources at the site 
(consistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan), but Big River's operational plan is to 
maintain activities at the site at current levels of operation and within the truck trip limits 
established for the Osbum Brothers operation and ODOT's "change of use" regulations. 
Big River will continue to use mechanical equipment to rip the rock resource to 
the greatest extent feasible. Ho wever, as the floor of the quarry is lowered and harder rock is 
encountered, controlled blasting will be necessary to extract the rock resource. 
With the incorporation of the Weyerhaeuser property into the operations area, Big 
River will be able to reconfigure its mining operations and re-orient the quarry floor to mine the 
site in a generally southwesterly-to-northeasterly direction. This will enable Big River to 
maintain, in situ, a lip of the rock resource to screen and buffer properties to the east and 
northeast. This mining plan will also allow Big River to maintain vegetation on the easterly and 
northerly sides of the quarry. As the floor is deepened, the rock lip and vegetation will be 
lowered, consistent with their ongoing screening functions and the requirements of the 
Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. 
As soon as possible, the crusher used on the site will be located on the newly 
configured mining floor and will be placed behind the natural rock lip that is left in place. This 
will reduce visual and noise impacts from crushing operations at the site. Again, as the quarry 
floor is lowered sequentially through ongoing mining operations, the crusher will be lowered to 
- 3 -
ensure that it remains behind the in situ rock lip and vegetation that will be preserved for 
screening. 
The quarry floor will be configured and contoured to direct surface water run-off 
(from rain) into the quarry floor and, as necessary, it will be directed into areas where it can be 
controlled in a series of settling ponds. This will generally send storm water run-off to the west 
and reduce the possibility of sediments entering the flatland area along Highway 26 or entering 
fish habitat associated with the Necanicum River. In addition, because the focus of operations 
will shift from the existing Big River property to the Weyerhaeuser property, the flat grassy area 
between current operations and Highway 26 to the east will not be affected by future mining 
operations. Big River will explore with conservation groups to see if there are habitat 
enhancement possibilities for this open area. 
APPLICATION REQUEST 
With this Post-Acknowledgment Plan Amendment ("PAPA"), Big River requests 
that the Ordway site (including the Big River property and Weyerhaeuser property) be added to 
the County's list of "significant" mineral and aggregate resource sites ("Primary Sites Requiring 
QMO Protection"). In addition, recognizing that good quality aggregate mineral sites are 
uncommon in Clatsop County and are vital to help the growing economy, Big River requests that 
a Quarry and Mining zone (QM) as indicated on the site plan map, be placed on Tax Lots 800, 
900, 1000, 1001, 1203, 101, 1900 and portions of tax lot 100. While Big River requests the QM 
zone be placed over whole tax lots (and portions of tax lot 100, see attached map Figure 1), 
actual mining activity will be limited to the portions of those properties indicated on the site plan 
maps. A condition to this effect is satisfactory to Big River. The PAPA process will entail a 
Comprehensive Plan amendment and a zoning map amendment. 
We also request a change in crusher operations to eliminate the seasonal operation 
restriction from January 1 to April 1 of each year, In addition, we request Erosion Control Plan 
approval, a Geologic Hazard Permit, a Development Permit and any other approvals, including 
site plan approval, if necessary. 
The request will place the QM zone within 500 feet of properties currently zoned 
RA-1 and RA-2. The QM zone will also be located within 500 feet of some existing residences. 
However, Big River will not have any active portion of its quarry operations (e.g., extraction, 
processing', or stockpiling) that will be within 500 feet of a residence that is not owned by the 
applicant. If deemed necessary, Big River requests a comprehensive plan change to allow the 
QM overlay to be placed over its own RA zoned property and within 500 feet of any RA zoned 
property in the area. 
Big River requests that controlled blasting be allowed to facilitate mining of the 
hard basalt resource, provided that such blasting is in conformance with DEQ requirements and 
is strictly limited to methods using sequential charges to reduce noise and vibration and is 
subject to the further requirement that Big River notify all property owners in the area at least 
- 4 -
24 hours before any blasting activity occurs. A condition to this effect is satis factory to Big 
River. 
No asphalt or concrete plant approval is requested. 
Consistent with the Goal 5 PAPA rule, Big River requests that all County permits 
be granted in this permit application and no further site plan approvals or incidental county 
permits be required. 
Finally, in the event ODOT would authorize additional average daily deliveries 
and would require only modest access or road improvements, Big River would request, as part of 
the application, modification of the access point from the existing in/out at mile post 2.66 to a 
one-way haul truck loop as described above with entry for haul trucks at mile post 2.66 (the 
existing Big River access point) and exit for haul trucks at either the existing Vollmer Creek 
Road access point (mile post 2.26) or at the access at mile post 2.50, pending ODOT input and 
approval. 
APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER OAR 660-023-0180. 
Mineral and aggregate resources are a protected resource under statewide 
planning Goal 5 and protection for such resources is specifically set forth in Goal 5 
Administrative Rule, Section 660-023-0180. Under the rule, local governments are allowed to 
amend acknowledged inventories and add additional significant sites in response to PAPAs, such 
as this one submitted by Big River. The Goal 5 rule provides the primary decision mechanism 
and decision standards under which a local government analyzes an application to designate a 
rock resource site through the PAPA process. 
The Goal 5 rules at Division 23 (OAR 660-23-0000) are applicable to this PAPA 
and guide the PAPA process. The Division 23 rule specifically states that it replaces the old 
Division 16 rule (OAR 660-16-0000) except for cultural resources (that are not applicable in this 
PAPA application) and certain periodic review tasks (that are also not applicable in this 
application). The Division 23 rule at OAR 660-23-0250(2) affirmatively states that the 
Division 16 rules apply only to PAPAs initiated before September 1, 1996 and for all other 
PAPAs (e.g., all of those instituted after September 1, 1996), Division 23 is applicable. The 
applicability of the Division 23 rule is again made clear in the mineral and aggregate section of 
Division 23 (OAR 660-023-0180(9)) which mirrors the general rule in 660-023-0250 and makes 
it clear that for this PAPA, Division 23 applies. Clatsop County has not amended its 
comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances to reflect Division 23 but the Division 23 rule and 
state statute (ORS 197.646) require the County to apply the new rule directly. There are some 
references in the County's land use regulations that refer to Division 16 and to an ESEE analysis 
process that do not perfectly track with the Division 23 rules. However, Big River requests that 
the County follow the Division 23 process. In the event of final approval of the PAPA, Big 
River requests permission to write findings which will include parallel findings for Division 16 
in the event it would be deemed applicable.

General Requirements of the PAPA Process 
The Division 23 Goal 5 rule lays out an orderly mechanism to review applications 
for mineral and aggregate resource extraction. Generally, the county decision-making body 
needs to make the following determinations: 
1 • Significance. The local government must determine that the mineral and 
aggregate resource is "significant" (OAR 660-023-0180(3) or (4)). As discussed below, 
"significance" has some subtleties, but generally, a site outside the Willamette Valley that has 
500,000 tons of material and that meets the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) 
specifications for base rock is a significant mineral and aggregate resource that must be 
inventoried by the County. Because quality mineral and aggregate resources are rare in Clatsop 
County, the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan reduces the threshold "significance" amount to 
250,000 cubic yards (Comprehensive Plan Goal 5, Policy 6). 
2. Impact Area. The local government must determine the "impact area" 
(OAR 660-023-0180(5)(a)). The impact area is designed to establish the outer boundary where 
operational characteristics of mineral and aggregate mining may conflict with established land 
uses in the area (primarily residences). The Goal 5 rule instructs that the impact area shall be 
limited to 1,500 feet from the external boundaries of the mining area except in those situations 
where factual information may indicate a significant and potential conflict beyond the 1,500-foot 
distance. 
3. Conflicts. The local government must consider conflicts that could be 
generated between the mineral and aggregate operation and the existing or approved land uses 
(OAR 660-023-0180(5)(6)). The Goal 5 rule affirmatively limits the discussion of conflicts to 
five conflict classifications in Clatsop County: 
(a) Conflicts due to noise, dust or other discharges 
(OAR 660-023-0180(5)(b)(A)). 
(b) Potential conflicts to bca] roads (OAR 660-023-0180(5)(b)(B)). 
(c) Safety conflicts with existing public airports due to bird attractants 
(OAR 660-023-0180(5)(b)(C)) (note that there are no aiiports within 
10,000 feet of the proposed site and this particular provision does not 
apply to Big River's application). 
(d) Conflicts with other acknowledged Goal 5 resources within the impact 
area (OAR 660-023-0183(5)(b)(D)). 
(e) Conflicts with agricultural practices (OAR 660-023-0180(5)(b)(E)). 
The PAPA rule may also require consideration of local ordinances that supersede 
Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) reclamation regulations. However, 
this applies only to Columbia County which is the sole county in the state that still regulates 
mined land reclamation. Clatsop County has turned over mined land reclamation authority to 
DOGAMI. 
- 6 -
4. Minimize Conflicts. If conflicts are identified, the PAPA rule instructs the 
local government to determine reasonable and practical measures that would minimize the 
conflicts (OAR 660-023-0180(5)(c)). If reasonable and practical measures are identified, mining 
shall be allowed. The PAPA rule defines "minimizing a conflict" to mean reducing an identified 
conflict to a level that is no longer significant. If a purported conflict, such as a noise conflict, 
can be reduced to meet the appropriate local, state or federal standards (such as Department of 
Environmental Quality Noise Standards), the conflict is deemed minimized 
(OAR 660-023-0180(l)(g)). 
5. Alternative ESEE, If, and only if, conflicts cannot be minimized, the Comity 
must engage in an ESEE (economic, social, environmental and energy) analysis to determine 
whether the mining should be approved notwithstanding identified conflicts. If conflicts can be 
minimized, the local government is not required to do an ESEE analysis 
(OAR 660-023-0180(5)(d)). 
6. Post-Mining Uses. The local government is required, when mining is allowed, 
to determine the post-mining use for the site and provide for that use in the comprehensive plan 
and land use regulations (OAR 660-023-0180(5)(f)). Local governments typically designate 
post-mining use as wildlife habitat or forestry uses. In addition, the local government is required 
to adopt a program to protect the mining site from new off-site conflicting uses. The standard 
ESEE mechanism is used for this analysis (OAR 660-023-0180(2)(d)). 
STEP 1 - SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MINERAL AND AGGREGATE DEPOSIT 
ON THE ORDWAY SITE (OAR 660-023-0180(3)) 
Quantity 
Big River engaged Environmental Science Associates and Mr. Steve LaFranchi, a 
Registered Geologist, to identify the location, quality and quantity of the mineral and aggregate 
materials that underlay the Ordway site. Extensive site work was done, including a review of the 
geology literature, multiple site visits, analysis of the geology of the existing pit surfaces of the 
Ordway Quarry, and extensive reconnaissance of the adjoining Weyerhaeuser property. In 
addition, the Registered Geologist supervised onsite drilling at the Ordway Quarry and 
monitored review of the testing for quality of the mineral resources on the site. Based on all of 
the information, the geologist determined that the quantity of quality mineral and aggregate 
materials exceeds 5 million tons on the Ordway site, not including the current reserves on tax 
lot 101 (approximately 2 million additional tons). This determination is conservative in that 
allowances were made for unusable material on the site, as well as for setback and sloping 
requirements. The estimate of mineral and aggregate material on the site reflects usable mineral 
and aggregate materials that may be extracted using standard techniques. We also note that the 
geology report indicates that additional material can be obtained on the Ordway property by 
digging below the floor depth that was assumed for the purposes of estimating quantity on the 
site. We believe the engineering geologist's estimate of more than 5 million tons of rock outside 
tax lot 101 is conservative. 
- 7 -
Quality 
The PAPA rule also requires the quality of the mineral and aggregate resource to 
be analyzed. During the test drilling on the Ordway site, the Registered Geologist and his staff 
collected representative samples of the rock material and preserved those samples for testing. 
The geologists controlled the chain of custody and submitted the samples to Carlson Testing, a 
leading mineral and aggregate testing laboratory. The Carlson technical reports are appended to 
the geologist's report. As summarized in the geologist's report, resource quality at the site meets 
applicable ODOT standards. The testing laboratory performed Oregon degradation analysis, Los 
Angeles abrasion analysis and Sodium Sulphate soundness analysis on the representative 
materials selected by the Registered Geologist. The materials passed all required tests and met 
all required ODOT testing values. The mineral and aggregate resource at the Ordway site clearly 
meets both the quality and quantity requirements for significance under the PAPA rule. 
Farmland Considerations 
The PAPA rule was drafted to assist in the conservation of EFU farmland. The 
rule does this by requiring special consideration if the proposed mining area consists of certain 
percentages of Class I, II, and unique soils, Farmland considerations will be addressed in the 
application. However, the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan does not consider the AF and 
RA zones to be EFU zones that are critical to the preservation of farmland. The zones on site are 
focused on forestry uses in Clatsop County. Of equal importance, there is no Class I, II or 
unique soil on any portion of the application area that will be used for extraction, processing or 
other mining related uses. 
Conclusion 
The Ordway site is significant and should be added to the County's list of 
significant Goal 5 mineral and aggregate resources. 
STEP 2 - IMPACT AREA AT TILE ORDWAY SITE (OAR 660-023~0180(5)(a)) 
After the local government makes a determination that the mineral and aggregate 
resource is significant, the PAPA rule instructs the local government to determine an impact area 
for purposes of identifying conflicts with the proposed mining and processing activities. The 
rule directs that the impact area shall be limited to 1,500 feet from the external boundaries of the 
mineral mining area, except where factual information indicates a significant potential for 
conflicts beyond this distance. 
In virtually all Goal 5 approved sites across the state of Oregon, the 1,500-foot 
presumptive impact in the Goal 5 rule (or a smaller area) has been found by local governments to 
be the appropriate distance to measure the extent of impacts from mineral and aggregate 
extraction operations. As is shown on the site diagrams, Big River is requesting a QM zone to be 
placed on all of its property (and Weyerhaeuser property) along Highway 26, including tax lots 
800, 900, 1000, 101 and 1203 (in addition to portions of tax lot 100 which does not touch 
- 8 -
Highway 26). However, Big River's actual aggregate processing and extraction area is 
significantly more limited. Within the tax lots for which the QM zone is requested, Big River is 
separately delineating its extraction and processing area and requests that the 1,500-foot impact 
area be calculated from the portion of the property which will actually be used for mining and 
processing purposes. This accomplishes two important goals. First, it provides a full 1,500-foot 
buffer, if necessary, area to protect the Goal 5 mineral and aggregate resource as required by 
Goal 5. Second, it allows the operator, Big River, to "self buffer" as much as possible on its own 
property and limit the amount of the 1,500-foot impact area that may touch other property. This 
minimizes the need for placing an impact area on adjoining properties while still ensuring those 
properties are protected from the potential impact acts of the mining operation and, at the same 
time, adequately protects the Goal 5 resource. 
Noise from Goal 5 operations is an important and a "telltale" indicator of the 
ability to control mining impacts. Where an operation can minimize mining noise impacts to 
comply with DEQ standards, the operation can, in all cases, minimize all other impacts (dust, 
storm water runoff, etc.) in a distance that is equal to or less than the setback distance required 
to mitigate noise impacts. 
To assess the potential for noise impacts surrounding the Ordway Quarry, Big 
River engaged Daly-Standlee & Associates, a leading regional noise and acoustical engineering 
firm. After analyzing and modeling noise from mining activities on the Ordway property, Daly-
Standlee has recommended mitigation measures to ensure that DEQ noise limits can be met at 
the existing residences closest to the northerly, easterly and southerly boundaries of the Ordway 
property. The Daly-Standlee report finds no reason why the impact area should be expanded 
beyond 1,500 feet and the report concludes that potential noise conflicts can be minimized with 
industry standard mitigation techniques. 
We believe there are no other potential conflicts, other than noise, that need to be 
addressed with regard to expanding the impact area beyond 1,500 feet, For example, Big River 
has a substantial operating history at the Ordway Quarry demonstrating the company's ability to 
control dust and other discharges. Crushing operations will continue to be carefully managed 
under the DEQ Air Contaminant Discharge permit to ensure there is no significant adverse effect 
from dust. A water truck will continue to be used to control dust impacts during the dry months. 
During wet months, storm water will be handled on site. We believe there are no external 
conflict factors that provide justification for extending the impact area beyond the 1,500-foot 
maximum suggested in the PAPA rule. 
STEP 3 - IDENTIFYING CONFLICTING USES AT THE ORDWAY 
EXPANSION SITE (OAR 660-023-0180(5)(b)) 
Clatsop County must next determine whether or not there are actual conflicts 
associated with the gravel mining request. As a necessary first step to the conflict analysis, the 
County must determine if there are existing or approved land uses within the impact area that 
could be affected by the proposed mining operation and the potential for the predicted conflicts. 
Approved land uses are defined by the administrative rule to include dwellings allowed by 
- 9 -
residential zones on existing platted lots or other uses for which conditional or final approvals 
have been granted by the local government. As shown on the site plans and site maps, the only 
existing and approved uses near the Ordway site are residential uses along Highway 26 to the 
north, east and southeast of the Ordway Quarry. Forestry uses surrounding the site, particularly 
to the north, west and south, have similar types of impacts (i.e. noise, dust, run-off, etc.) as 
would be expected from a quarry operation. Generally, forestry uses are not in conflict with 
gravel extraction uses. Gravel extraction is a permitted forestry use and the landowner to the 
north, west and south (Weyerhaeuser) has signed the application and supports the Goal 5 
protection of the Ordway site. Accordingly, the only potential conflicts relate to approved land 
uses in the general vicinity that are residential uses. The Goal 5 rule instructs the County to 
consider the potential conflicts on these approved land uses within five limited categories. 
Conflict Category #1: To Noise. Dust And Other Discharges fOAR 660-023-0180(5)(WAVl 
Noise: As indicated in the impact area analysis, Big River has a multi-year 
operational history that demonstrates that noise from its operations can be controlled to meet 
DEQ standards. As indicated in the Daly-Standlee report, operating the site by leaving a lip of 
natural rock on the north and east sides of the quarry allows a buffer to be maintained that 
minimizes noise impacts and assures that DEQ noise standards are met at all residences in the 
area. In limited and short-term instances where equipment would be operated on top of the 
natural buffer (e.g., rock drill or dozer), Daly-Standlee has recommended several 
industry-standard mitigation techniques, any one of which fully minimizes noise within the DEQ 
standard at all residences in the area. Big River will request that our acoustic engineer's 
recommendations be made conditions of approval to ensure that noise can, and will, be 
controlled consistent with DEQ regulations. Under the PAPA rule, compliance with DEQ 
regulations minimizes any noise conflicts. 
Dust: If not properly controlled, dust can be a conflict that accompanies mineral 
and aggregate operations. Again, Big River has operational experience controlling and 
eliminating fugitive dust from its operations. First, the company has an established entrance for 
its operations and has paved a portion of the approach at the entrance. Pavement of access roads 
and regular housekeeping (e.g., sweeping and washing), eliminates the buildup of dust on road 
surfaces which can be blown onto neighboring properties. Second, the company uses methods to 
assure that mud is not tracked out to the road that can eventually be converted to dust. Third, the 
company uses a water truck on site to moisten non-paved travel areas as necessary and minimize 
dust. The use of a water truck is recognized by the Washington State Department of Ecology as 
one of the most important mechanisms in reducing dust from industrial operations. In addition, 
Big River has preserved planted grasses and vegetation on tax lots 900, 1000, 1001 and 1203 to 
reduce fugitive dust generated by the portions of the sites which are closest to neighboring 
homes. All these operational requirements will assure that dust from operations on the Ordway 
property is minimized. If ODOT were to approve a change in truck traffic circulation on the site 
to allow all incoming traffic to use the existing entrance at mile post 2.66 and allow exiting truck 
traffic to either travel on Vollmer Creek Road and use the existing and ODOT-approved 
Weyerhaeuser access to Highway 26 (approximately mile post 2.26) or access Highway 26 at the 
existing access at mile post 2.50, appropriate steps will be taken to control dust. The access 
- 10-
point of Vollmer Creek Road and .Highway 26 is currently paved and Big River is negotiating 
with Weyerhaeuser and will agree to pave approximately an additional 1,250 feet of the road to 
assure that there are no dust or mud track-out problems from extraction trucks entering onto 
Highway 26 from the Vollmer Creek Road exit point. If the alternative exit at mile post 2.50 is 
used, Big River will make appropriate improvements to minimize dust. 
Crusher operations at the Ordway Quarry have been, and will continue to be, run 
in compliance with the DEQ Air Contaminant Discharge Permit for the crusher. As necessary, 
the crusher uses industry-standard methods to minimize dust from rock crushing and screening 
operations. We note that as part of this request, crusher location at the Ordway Quarry will 
change from time to time as the alignment of the pit faces changes, and the pit floor is dropped 
through excavation. When it is operating, the crusher will continue to be screened by a lip of the 
existing hillside and vegetation will be left in place along the edge of the extraction site to assist 
in eliminating the crusher from view and helping to minimize fugitive emissions. We believe 
that these steps are appropriate and will ensure that dust conflicts are minimized. 
"Other Discharges:" As the pit is realigned to take advantage of the 
Weyerhaeuser property, the pit floor will be shaped so that storm water will be directed 
internally to the pit floor, or sent to storm retention areas and handled, so that it is clean when it 
leaves the quarry area. In addition, there is a large buffer area all around the extraction site 
consisting of densely wooded areas to the west, north and south and a combination of wooded 
areas and flat grass areas to the east that will allow for the absorption of storm water as part of 
the natural woodlands filtration process that will prevent turbidity from reaching any water 
course. The pit orientation proposed with this application will make storm water management 
easier because there will be a larger floor area to contain storm water run-off. There is also room 
and appropriate topography for the construction of sediment ponds to the west of the pit if those 
prove necessary. 
The Environmental Science Associate's report indicates no potential for 
groundwater in the basalt structure that will be mined for rock on site, During test drilling of the 
site, no groundwater was encountered, and operations as proposed will ensure that extraction 
operations occur above any groundwater bearing strata in the basalt structure that is being mined. 
Big River will continue to work closely with DOGAMI to make sure there are no effects on 
groundwater from its operations at the site. 
Conilict Category #2; Potential Conflicts To Local Roads (OAR 660-023-0180(5)00(33)) 
The second potential conflict that must be addressed under the PAPA rule is the 
effect of the mineral and aggregate operation on local roads. The rule requires that conflicts be 
based on clear and objective standards and that effects from gravel trucks must be considered on 
an equal basis with trucks of equivalent size that haul other materials (e.g., logging trucks). 
Highway 26 is a State Highway and the Clatsop County Transportation System 
Plan confirms that ODOT has sole jurisdiction over this State Highway (TSP, Section 2, 
Pages 1-10). Big River proposes to use the existing and approved ODOT approved access 
- 11 -
directly onto Highway 26 at mile post 2.66. To minimize truck issues, the company's 
predecessor built a deceleration lane on Highway 26 for traffic to safely enter the site at this 
location. NO local roads are necessary to allow access to the site or exit from the site. 
In consultation with our traffic engineer and with ODOT, Big River has searched 
for ways to improve the dispersal and absoiption of haul truck traffic. ODOT has suggested that 
a one-way haul truck traffic pattern on the site might be beneficial. Big River is willing to 
consider the circular one-lane haul truck traffic pattern if ODOT will approve approximately five 
additional haul truck deliveries each day (increasing the approved number of deliveries from 20 
to approximately 25 per day) and not require unreasonable conditions. The circular haul truck 
idea would use the existing access way for haul truck ENTRY only, All haul trucks would, in a 
one-way circular pattern, enter at the existing access (mile post 2.66) on Highway 26 and pass 
through the quarry site. Once the truck is loaded, it would return to Highway 26 along one of 
two routes. Alternative A would be to the west along existing private and gated Weyerhaeuser 
forest roads and directly to Weyerhaeuser's existing Vollmer Creek Road access point (ODOT 
approved) at mile post 2.26 on Highway 26. Alternative B would travel downhill to the existing 
access at mile post 2.50. As we indicate elsewhere in the application, Big River is not requesting 
an access change nor an increase in the number of approved truck trips at the existing approved 
access. The PAPA process presents a forum to review these alternative ideas. If Alternative A 
proves to be workable, exit from the private one-way system will be via an approved ODOT 
access directly to a State Highway and local roads are not implicated. Vollmer Creek Road is a 
private forest road and is gated. Big River will work with Weyerhaeuser to maintain the gates to 
keep unauthorized traffic out of the Weyerhaeuser road system and out of the quarry area. If the 
Alternative B access is used, the proposed use will still have no effect on local roads as all access 
will be directly from Big River's property to Highway 26, 
Big River engaged the services of Associated Transportation, Engineering & 
Planning ("ATEP") to analyze transportation-related issues associated with the application. 
ATEP concludes that Big River has existing and approved access directly to a State Highway for 
access to the site and that no local roads are implicated by the application. ATEP further 
concludes that use of the existing access will not have a significant effect on any existing or 
planned transportation facility, that it does not change the functional classification of any 
transportation facility, change standards implementing a functional classification system, or, as 
measured at the end of the planning period, that it does not allow land use levels of development 
that would result in levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional 
classification of a transportation facility, reduce the performance of transportation facility below 
the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in the appropriate transportation system 
plan, or worsen the performance at any existing or planned transportation facility that is 
otherwise projected to perform below minimum acceptable performance standards identified in 
the transportation system plan. ATEP concludes that ongoing use of the existing access meets 
the requirements of the transportation planning rule of the County's Transportation System Plan. 
ATEP was also asked to look at Alternatives A and B in the event that ODOT 
would agree to increase allowable truck trips by approximately five daily deliveries and allow a 
different access with reasonable road improvements. ATEP indicates that the proposal to use the 
- 12-
Vollmer Creek exit is consistent with the existing use of that access point by heavy truck traffic. 
ATEP also concludes that Alternative A provides an acceptable level of service, acceptable delay 
and acceptable volume to capacity ratio of vehicles expected to use the road. 
Conflict Category #3: Safety Conflicts With Existing Public Airports 
(OAR 660-023-0180('5)(b)(CV) 
The Goal 5 rules requires the County to analyze mineral and aggregate operations 
to ensure they do not serve as bird attractants that could interfere with public airports. Under the 
Department of Transportation rules relating to aviation, water impoundments that are 10,000 feet 
or closer to a commercial airport come under the state's regulation. There are no existing 
airports within 10,000 feet of the external boundaries of the Ordway property 
(OAR 660-013-0018 and ORS 836.623(2)-(b)). The closest airport is the Seaside airport which 
is more than five miles away by air. In addition, unlike alluvium gravel pits, basalt mining at the 
Ordway Quarry will not create water impoundments. Accordingly, this particular conflict does 
not exist at the Ordway site. 
Conflict Category #4: Conflicts With Other Significant Acknowledged Goal 5 Resource 
Sites (OAR 660-023-0180(5)fb)(D)) 
Big River has reviewed the County's Goal 5 background documents and 
inventory for other acknowledged and listed Goal 5 resources in the area. The trees in the area 
are not identified as old growth and the trees covering the site are between 25-50 years old and, 
therefore, are considered low-priority under the County's Comprehensive Plan background 
document. Highway 26 is not a Goal 5 inventoried scenic resource. There are no Goal 5 
inventoried conservation areas or wetlands in the area. The land along Highway 26 is delineated 
as "peripheral" big game range due to the proximity to Highway 26 and the greater density of 
houses along the highway. The existing Ordway Quarry has not affected the use of the property 
for big game and the property is regularly traversed by elk. The nature of the area will gradually 
change as the proposed aggregate use expands on the site. However, no barriers will be 
constructed to prevent elk from using the site and the area will be returned to forest uses that may 
continue to be used by elk after reclamation. Big River will maintain compliance with DEQ 
standards with regard to noise and dust and the operation will continue to be compatible with 
peripheral elk usage as it has for more than 20 years. 
The Necanicum River is inventoried as fish habitat. The Necanicum River is a 
minimum of 450 feet on the northeast side of Highway 26, the opposite side of Highway 26 from 
the Ordway Quarry. Activities at the quarry over the years have not had any effect on fish and 
wildlife habitat in the Necanicum River. As indicated in the application, Big River will be able 
to control run-off and sediment on the site by sloping and through the use of sediment ponds, if 
needed. Away from the base of the hill to the east of the Quarry along Highway 26, there are 
areas that may be considered wetlands although they are not inventoried on the County's 
Comprehensive Plan. However, Big River extraction activities will NOT occur in these areas. 
In the past, Big River had ongoing discussions with conservation entities related to the wetland 
areas and the operation of the proposed quarry will have NO effect on these potential wetland 
- 13 -
areas. We believe there are no conflicts between the proposed mineral and aggregate resource 
and other significant Goal 5 resources in the general area. 
Conflict Category #5: Conflicts With Agricultural Practices (OAR 660-023~0180f5)(WE)) 
Although the zoning in the area contains AF (Agricultural Forestry) and RA-1 and 
2 (rural agriculture zones), there is no significant agricultural activity that occurs in the general 
area. Forestry is a dominant industry to the southwest of Highway 26 and the area northeast of 
Highway 26 is characterized by residential uses in the Edgewater subdivision and by intermittent 
residences along the Necanicum River and Highway 26. These residences may have an isolated 
fruit tree or some cane berries, but commercial agriculture does not occur in the general vicinity. 
To the south and east of the property is a horse barn and Big River works with the owners to 
accept manure from the barn and use it as a soil amendment on Big River property. We do not 
believe that there are any conflicts with any agricultural use in the area and we believe that our 
ongoing operational history demonstrates that there will be no conflict with agricultural practices 
from our operations at the Ordway Quarry. 
STEP 4- IDENTIFY REASONABLE AND PRACTICAL MEASURES THAT 
WILL ASSIST IN MINIMIZING ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS 
(OAR 660-023-0180(5)(cV) 
Big River's current operation at the Ordway Quarry uses reasonable and practical 
measures that minimize conflicts that might arise from our operations. These elements of our 
operations will continue, and Big River is proposing additional changes in operations that will 
allow further minimization of conflicts. These existing and proposed elements include: 
1. Paved access apron at the entrance on Flighway 26 (mile post 2.66). This 
minimizes potential dust and traffic problems related with mud track-out. It also reduces truck 
noise. 
2. Reorienting the mining face of the quarry. This will allow mineral and 
aggregate material to be mined from the Weyerhaeuser property and minimize the view of the 
site from Highway 26 and neighboring residences. In addition to reducing visual affects, the 
revised mining plan will allow Big River to leave a lip of the existing rock resource in place as a 
screen and buffer to reduce dust and noise impacts. It will also allow the company to maintain 
natural vegetation along the northeasterly side of the quarry (along Highway 26). 
3. All crushing operations on the site are conducted under an Air Contaminant 
Discharge permit for the crushing unit. Any and all future crushing will be done in compliance 
with the appropriate DEQ Air Contaminate Discharge permit. 
4. Big River uses, and will continue to use, a water truck onsite to moisten roads 
and extraction areas to minimize potential dust conflicts. 
_ 14-
5. Big River will maintain a gravel surface for all internal roads. Studies from 
the State of Washington and New Zealand demonstrate that maintaining a gravel surface on haul 
roads greatly reduces the amount of dust. 
6. Truck speed at the entrance, exit or haul roads, and on the quarry floor will be 
limited to no more than 15 miles per hour. Again, studies from the State of Washington and 
New Zealand show that reduced truck speed (keeping it at 15 miles per hour or less) is one of the 
single largest operational characteristics that allows for minimization of dust. 
7. Big River will obtain and maintain a storm water discharge permit. This will 
minimize "other discharge" conflicts such as storm water run-off. Additional excavating activity 
into the pit floor will allow onsite handlings of storm water. There is ample room to the west 
side of the mining area for the placement of sedimentation ponds, as necessary. On the 
east/southeast side of the pit, there are significant flat areas which will greatly assist in the storm 
water control function. 
8. As indicated in the report of Daly Standlee & Associates, operations will be 
run in full compliance with state noise standards. This will minimize potential noise conflicts. 
Noise mitigation measures recommended by Daly-Standlee will be requested as conditions of 
approval for the operation. 
9. Big River will coordinate with DOGAMI with regard to site reclamation 
requirements. Reorientation of the pit face will add significant flexibility to reclamation efforts 
to return the area to forest and habitat uses. There will be sufficient overburden available for 
reclamation uses. 
10. Big River will maintain an active "housekeeping" program for ensuring dust 
is minimized by operation on its internal truck paths and to ensure that dust and mud are not 
tracked out to Highway 26 at the access road intersections. In addition, a portion of the access 
road is paved to assist housekeeping in this regard. 
11. Big River will maintain the level of truck traffic on the site below ODOT's 
change of use threshold. ODOT confirms that the current Big River access at mile post 2.66 is 
approved for 40 truck movements per day on an annual average basis (20 incoming trucks and 
20 outgoing trucks). If ODOT allows additional trips and does not require unreasonable road 
improvements, a circular haul truck scheme using alternative exit points may be possible. 
12. Overburden on the site is generally thin, but there are sufficient overburden 
soils for future reclamation purposes. Overburdened that is stripped for purposes of opening up a 
new mining area will be preserved and seeded to prevent erosion and "other conflicts" associated 
with the stockpile and topsoil materials. 
13. Big River will continue to follow the current hours of operation mandated for 
the Ordway Quarry, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 
no operations on Sundays or normal holidays. This prevents early morning activities or late 
- 15-
evening activities that could potentially increase noise impacts on neighboring residences. As 
noted above, Big River requests that it be allowed the ability to run crushing operations year-
round. Under the current conditional use permit, there is a three-month period (January 1 to 
April 1) of each year where the crusher cannot be run at the Ordway Quarry. Big River requests 
that the ability to run the crusher year-round occur ONLY after the pit floor has been reoriented 
so that crushing operations may remain blocked from view and noise from crushing operations is 
minimized. Until the pit realignment is completed, Big River will follow the seasonal crushing 
limitation. 
14. Big River will limit the speed of haul trucks in the entrance and exit areas and 
the quarry operations area to minimize potential dust and noise from truck traffic operations. 
15. Big River will engage in ongoing reclamation processes. We believe that this 
will minimize storm water issues and will allow rational use of overburden in the reclamation 
process. 
An important component of Big River's strategy to minimize operational conflicts 
is the reorientation of extraction activities at the pit. Because of the shape of the current Big 
River property and its odd orientation to the mineral deposit, extraction activities necessarily 
expose portions of the pit to the southeast where most of the residences are located. By using the 
Weyerhaeuser property to reorient the quarry operations, Big River will be able to efficiently 
mine the aggregate resource as well as maintain a natural lip of rock to serve as an ongoing 
buffer between extraction operations and homes located generally to the east near Highway 26. 
This reorientation will take time and it will not occur immediately. However, upon approval of 
the proposed application, Big River will begin the reorientation process by extracting material on 
the Weyerhaueser property to bring additional area down to the current quarry floor level. Once 
this is accomplished, additional mining activities will have the benefit of natural screening. This 
screening will be sequentially reduced as mining proceeds and the quarry floor is deepened, but 
the screening will remain above the mine floor as the mining depth at the quarry floor increases. 
With time, the quarry floor will be lowered along with the natural buffers will isolate operations 
from Highway 26 and our neighbors to the east. However, the natural buffers (rock lip with 
vegetation) will always remain higher than the quarry floor to ensure screening. 
Big River has voluntarily rethought its mining plan and over time, the new mining 
plan will significantly reduce visual and other conflicts. We believe that reoriented mining 
operations will allow a "win-win" for the company, the County and residents in the area; it will 
preserve a valuable and rare aggregate resource which is needed in the growing south Clatsop 
County area while at the same time improving the compatibility of quarry operations with 
neighbors. At all times during the process, including the reorientation operations, Big River will 
maintain compliance with DEQ noise and dust regulations. We expect, however, after 
reorientation is accomplished, there will be significant benefits for our neighbors in the area as 
well as for our mining operations.

APPLICABLE APPROVAL CRITERIA, 
The County Code criteria for approving this request are contained in the Clatsop 
County Land and Water Development and Use Ordinance ("LWDUO")(codified as of May 10, 
2004), the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies (dated May 2004), and the 
Clatsop County Standards Document ("SD")(including amendments through July 1, 2005). In 
the discussion below, the applicant identifies what it believes are the applicable approval criteria 
and describes how those approval criteria are met: 
LAND AND WATER DEVELOPMENT AND USE ORDINANCE 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.030 Special Purpose Districts 
A special puipose district is an overlay district which may be combined with any 
portion of any zone as appropriate to the puipose of the district. The regulations 
of a special puipose district consists of additional sections of this Ordinance and 
additional standards. Some of these regulations are supplementary and other 
preempt the regulations of the underlying zone, and the regulations of the special 
puipose district and the zone shall all apply. Where these regulations conflict, the 
regulations that are more restrictive shall control the boundaries of special 
purpose districts, except as indicated below are shown on the Clatsop County 
Land and Water Development Map and Columbia River Estuary Resource Base 
Maps (sic). 
Findings: See the Findings for the QM zone and S3.509, below. Mineral and 
aggregate extraction and processing are allowed conditional uses in the F-80, AF and RA-2 
Zones subject to the standards of S3.509 (addressed below). The PAPA process does not require 
a conditional use application, but rather alters the County's Comprehensive Plan to directly place 
the QM zone on areas requested. Compliance with the PAPA regulations and a change to the 
QM zone changes the requirements of the underlying zone to those of the QM zone. As 
demonstrated by the findings below, the requirements of the QM zone are met. 
Quarry and Mining Zone (LWDUO Section 3.460) 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.462. Puipose. 
The intent of this zone is to protect aggregate and other mineral 
sites from incompatible uses where such material is needed for 
primarily non-forest uses. Good quality aggregate and mineral sites 
are uncommon in the County and are vital to a healthy and 
growing economy. These sites should be protected from 
conflicting uses, primarily structures which would preempt an 
extractive resource use. 
- 17-
Findings: The applicant; through this application, is requesting a Comprehensive 
Plan and Zone Change to zone the subject property with a QM zone overlay to protect and allow 
prudent use of the valuable aggregate resource on the property in a manner that recognizes the 
existing uses in the area and avoids increasing conflicts in the future. This is exactly the puipose 
of this zone. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.464. Application. 
The QM zone applies to sites shown by a "QMH letter designation 
on the County zoning map and described on a list in the 
Department of Community Development. Generally, sites are 
located to the nearest quarter section, although some sites are listed 
only by section, as per State Department of Geology and Mineral 
Industries permits. The QM District applies only to that portion of 
the listed section upon which the rock resource is located. There 
are a number of existing and potential rock pits and stockpile sites 
which are not designated on the County map due to lack of 
adequate information concerning the sites. It is anticipated that 
many of those sites will be designated QM upon further 
information and a Goal 5 analysis and Comprehensive Plan 
amendment. 
Findings: The subject property is designated in the Comprehensive Plan 
inventory as the Ordway site, which was a "Primary Site Requiring Conditional Use Approval." 
Sites with this designation were viewed as "potential sites" "for which sufficient information 
concerning the location, quality, and quantity of a resource site is not adequate so as to allow the 
County to make a determination of significance." (Policy 3,b.) The applicant's current 
application provides the additional information needed to allow the County to make a 
determination of significance and a decision about appropriate Goal 5 protection and the 
designation of the property with the Quarry and Mining zone, exactly as contemplated by this 
criterion. Because this application is providing the information needed to allow the County to 
make an appropriate decision on the application of the Quarry and Mining zone to the property, 
this criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.466. Development and Use Permitted. 
The following developments and uses and their accessory 
developments and uses are permitted under a Type I procedure 
subject to applicable development standards. 
(1) Surface or subsurface mining. 
(2) Concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt batching plant 
accessoiy to and on the same site as an existing or 
approved surface or subsurface mining operation, 
and subject to the standards in the Light Industrial 
(LI) zone Section 3.448(3). 
- 18-
(3) Offices, warehouses and maintenance buildings 
appropriate to uses permitted in the district. 
(4) Forestry. 
(5) Farm use. 
(6) Low-intensity recreation. 
(7) Rock crushing subject to standards in Section 3.470. 
(8) Property line adjustment. 
Findings: The applicant is requesting approval to mine, crush, and stockpile rock 
on the site, and to use the site for uses accessory to that. Applicant does NOT request concrete, 
ready mix or asphalt batch plants at the site. The requested uses fall within the uses permitted by 
this Section. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion; Section 3.470(1). Development and Use Standards. 
(1) Lot size shall be based upon: 
(A) The site need of the proposed use, 
(B) The nature of the proposed use in relation to its 
impact on nearby properties, and 
(C) Consideration of state sanitation and other 
requirements, local setback and other criteria and 
standards of the Ordinance. 
Findings: The applicant is not requesting any changes to the lot configuration of 
the subject property. This criterion does not apply to this application. The Big River property, 
together with the Weyerhaeuser property under lease, provides sufficient room to efficiently 
extract the rock resource, minimize conflicts, stage all processing uses (e.g. crusher, stockpiles 
and scale) and prepare for reclamation. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.470(2). Development and Use Standards. 
(2) Setbacks: 
(A) Excavation shall not be conducted closer than 100 
feet to any residence or residential district. 
(B) Equipment and structures shall not be built or 
located closer than 50' from the perimeter boundary 
or the right-of-way of an existing road, except when 
such boundary adjoins a residence or residentially 
zoned district, in which case such setback shall be 
100'. 
(C) Stockpiling of sand and gravel and sedimentation 
ponds shall be located no closer than 25' to the 
perimeter boundary or the right-of-way of an 
existing road. 
- 19 -
Findings: As shown on the site plan submitted as part of this application, all 
excavation areas will be at least 500 feet away from any residence and at least 100 feet from any 
residential district not owned by the applicant. All stockpile areas and sedimentation ponds (if 
necessary) will be located at least 25 feet from the perimeter boundary or right-of-way of an 
existing road. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.470(3). Development and Use Standards. 
(3) Screen Landscape. Existing trees and natural vegetation 
shall be preserved along a public road or adjoining a 
residential district for a width of 50' or within the minimum 
setback, whichever is less. 
Findings: As shown on the site plan submitted as part of this application, the 
existing trees and vegetation along Highway 26 shall be preserved for at least 100 feet from the 
excavation area (twice the distance required by the Standard). This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3,470(4). Development and Use Standards. 
(4) Road Conditions. All private access and service roads shall 
be maintained in a dust-free condition during intensive 
operations, 
Findings: The internal road system will consist of a paved apron in the vicinity 
of the access point with Highway 26, and gravel roads in the interior of the site. These will be 
watered as necessary during dry periods to control dust. Some additional paving may occur on 
Vollmer Creek Road if that option is approved by ODOT. Under these circumstances, this 
criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.470(5). Development and Use Standards. 
(5) Safety Fencing. Prior to operations which will result in 
open excavation with a depth of ten feet or more and a 
slope steeper than one vertical foot to two horizontal feet 
and which is located within 100' of a residentially occupied 
structure, a fence shall be erected at least ten feet outside 
the edge of the excavation at least four feet in height, to 
control access to such excavation. 
Findings: There will be no excavation within 100 feet of a residentially occupied 
structure, so this criterion does not apply to this application. 
- 2 0 -
Approval Criterion: Section 3.470(6). Development and Use Standards. 
(6) Setbacks from Waterways. No mining or structural 
improvements shall occur within the riparian setbacks as 
specified in S4.500. In no case, however, shall the 
minimum setback from a waterway be less than 25'. 
Findings: As shown on the site plan submitted as part of this application, all 
mining or structural improvements will be at least 100 feet from Highway 26 to the east of the 
site and 100 feet from Vollmer Creek Road, on the west of the site. The site is separated from 
the Necanicum River by Highway 26 and from Vollmer Creek by the Weyerhaeuser Road. A 
more comprehensive discussion of this situation is discussed in the Findings for S4.500, below. 
Based upon the above, and the Findings for S4.500, this criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3,470(7), Development and Use Standards. 
(7) Screening Vegetation. Any new mining or stockpile site 
which fronts on a public roadway shall be screened from 
such roadway by a line of vegetation sufficient to 
substantially block view of the site from the road. The 
vegetation shall be either native vegetation which is 
maintained or vegetation which is planted at the time of 
permit issuance and maintained for the life of the operation. 
Findings: As shown on the site plan submitted as part of this application, there is 
an existing strip of trees that already substantially screens the subject property along its border 
with Highway 26, These trees will be maintained. As the quarry floor is reoriented, additional 
opportunities will be available to plant screening along the south side of the extraction area. As 
indicated in the general mining plan, a rock lip and vegetation will be left on the easterly side of 
the quairy as operations proceed. This will substantially screen the site from Highway 26. This 
criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.470(8). Development and Use Standards, 
(8) Rock Crushing. The crusher shall be licensed by the 
Department of Environmental Quality, 
Findings: The applicant has used a crusher which has a valid DEQ permit. This 
permit will be maintained, and if the crusher is changed, any other crusher used on the site will 
also have and maintain such a permit. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.470(9). Development and Use Standards. 
(9) Other Applicable Standards. State and federal standards 
regarding air, water and noise discharges and reclamation 
- 21 -
of the site shall be followed as well as any other applicable 
state, federal or local standards. 
Findings: We incorporate by reference the finding related to Goal 6, below. This 
standard is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 3.472. State and Federal Permits Standards. 
If any state or federal permit is required for a development or use, 
an applicant, prior to issuance of a development permit or action, 
shall submit to the Planning Department a copy of the state or 
federal permit. 
Findings: Applicant already has a valid ODOT access permit for the existing 
access. Prior to operation, applicant will obtain the appropriate DOGAMI permit and post the 
necessary bond. A storm water permit will be obtained as pait of the DOGAMI process. The 
crusher has a valid DEQ permit. All necessary county permits are requested through this PAPA 
application. This standard is met, 
Approval Criterion. Section 4.000. Flood Hazard Overlay District. 
The puipose of the flood hazard overlay district is to identify those 
areas of the County subject to the hazards of periodic flooding and 
establish standards and regulations to reduce flood damage or loss 
of life in those areas. This district applies to all areas of special 
flood hazards within the unincorporated areas of Clatsop County as 
identified on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) and Flood 
Boundary and Floodway Maps. 
Findings: A small portion of the tax lots 900 and 1000 (immediately adjacent to 
Flighway 26) are located within the flood plain of the Necanicum River. These areas are outside 
the extraction area and no activities related to the mining operation are planned in these areas. 
We incorporate our finding for Goal 7 herein by reference. To the extent these flood hazard 
standards apply to this application, they are met, 
Approval Criterion: Section 4.040. Geologic Hazards Overlay District. 
The intent of the geologic hazards overlay is to minimize building 
hazards and threats to life and property that may be created by 
landslides, ocean flooding and erosion, weak foundation soils, and 
other hazards as identified and mapped by the County, including 
DOGAMI landslide topography. This puipose is achieved by 
basing County decisions on accurate geologic and soils 
information prepared by qualified professionals. 
- 2 2 -
Findings: We incorporate by reference our findings under Goal 7 and our 
findings under S3.700. As indicated in the geology report of Environmental Science Associates, 
the proposed activities on the extraction area are consistent with, and appropriate for, the geology 
on the site. The underlying geologic structure is stable basalt and mining activities will not cause 
adverse geologic hazards at the site. Appropriate slopes will be maintained in compliance with 
DOGAMI regulations and overburden will be stored and stabilized for reclamation purposes. 
Based on these findings, this standard is met. Applicant requests the issuance of a county 
geologic hazard permit as part of the PAPA process. 
NOTE: Big River is not requesting a conditional use for the site. While the 
quany uses are allowed conditionally in the underlying zones, Big River is requesting a 
comprehensive plan amendment through the PAPA process to place the site on the County 
significant Goal 5 resource inventory and permit quarry operations through the PAPA process. 
Accordingly, the conditional use standards (Section 5000) of the LWDUO are not applicable. 
Section 5.300 Site Plans. 
Approval Criterion: Section 5.302. Site Plan Review Requirements. 
Section 5.302. Site Plan Review Requirements. Before a permit 
can be issued for development in a special purpose district, for a 
conditional development and use, or a development and use 
permitted with review, a site plan for the total parcel and 
development must be approved by the Planning Director or 
Planning Commission. Information on the proposed development 
shall include sketches or other explanatory information the 
Director may require or the applicant may offer that present facts 
and evidence sufficient to establish compliance with 
Sections 1,040, 1.050, and the requirements of this Section. 
Section 1.040. Scope and Compliance. The provisions of this 
Ordinance shall apply to all unincoiporated areas of Clatsop 
County, Oregon that are not within the urban growth boundary of 
an incorporated city or town. The procedural provisions of this 
ordinance will continue to be utilized for unincoiporated areas 
within urban growth boundaries. A parcel of land or water area 
may be used, developed by land division or otherwise, and a 
structure may be used or developed by construction, 
reconstruction, alteration, occupancy, or otherwise only as this 
Ordinance permits. In addition to complying with the criteria and 
other provisions within this Ordinance, each development shall 
comply with the applicable standards set forth in County 
Development and Use Standards Document. The requirements of 
this Ordinance apply to the person undertaking a development or 
- 2 3 -
the user of a development and to the person's successors-in-
interest. 
Section 1.050. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan. Actions 
initiated under this Ordinance shall be consistent with the Clatsop 
County Comprehensive Plan as adopted or hereafter amended. 
Where a provision of this Ordinance is in conflict with the 
Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Plan shall apply. A 
provision of this Ordinance that is in addition to another 
requirement is not in conflict. 
Findings: The applicant has submitted a Site Plan, this application narrative, and 
accompanying information that is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with Sections 1.040 and 
1.050 and the requirements of Section 5.302. Section 1.040 requires that development comply 
with this Ordinance and with the Standards Document. Compliance with this Ordinance is 
demonstrated by the findings in this application narrative and the evidence submitted with the 
application. Compliance with the Standards Document is demonstrated by the findings for the 
applicable Approval Criteria in this application narrative. Section 1.050 requires that 
development be consistent with the County Comprehensive Plan. Compliance with the 
Comprehensive Plan is demonstrated by the findings in this application narrative. Based upon 
the Site Plan and other information submitted in the application narrative and with the 
application, this criterion is met, 
Section 5.350 Transportation System Impact Review 
Approval Criterion: Section 5,352 Traffic Impact Study 
The purpose of this section of the code is to implement Section 
660-012-0045(2)(e) of the State Transportation Planning Rule that 
requires the County to adopt a process to apply conditions to 
development proposals in order to minimize adverse impacts to 
and protect transportation facilities. This section establishes the 
standards for when a proposal must be reviewed for potential 
traffic impacts; when a Traffic Impact Study must be submitted 
with a development application in order to determine whether 
conditions are needed to minimize impacts to and protect 
transportation facilities; what must be in a Traffic Impact Study; 
and who is qualified to prepare the Study. 
Findings: A Traffic Impact Study may be required to be submitted to the County 
with a land use application in a number of situations and the PAPA rule requires submission of a 
traffic study. In compliance with the PAPA rule (and Section 3 of the standard), a Traffic Impact 
Study was prepared by ATEP. The authors are Mr. Dick Woelk and Mr. Karl Birky, both 
Registered Engineers. As indicated in the ATEP report, the operation has valid existing access 
approval to Highway 26 and does not increase traffic above ODOT's change in use designations. 
- 2 4 -
It does not propose any altered land use action that will have operational or safety concerns on 
the state highways. Big River's proposal will have no effect on currently existing traffic 
conditions on Highway 26. The traffic study includes impact analysis, field measurements, oral 
accounts, site observations and crash history. Standard methodologies, including the Institute of 
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual were used in the preparation of the study. As 
indicated iii the ATEP report, the proposed use does not increase site traffic volume by 500 ADT 
or more, nor does it increase ADT hour volume of a particular movement to and from the state 
highway by 20% or more. In addition, there will be no use of adjacent streets. All truck traffic 
will use private roads to assure safety. Because all traffic will travel on internal truck ways or 
private roads gated and not open to the public, use of adjacent streets and changes to internal 
traffic patterns are not implicated by this application. Access is directly to Highway 26 and the 
one-way haul truck traffic pattern internally will use private roads to assure safety. The ATEP 
study recognizes the mitigation measures proposed by Big River and recommends additional 
mitigation measures. 
Approval Criterion: Section 5.352(4) 
(A) Criteria. When a Traffic Impact Study is required, approval of 
the development proposal requires satisfaction of the following 
criteria, in addition to other criteria applicable to the proposal: 
1) The proposed site design and traffic and circulation design and 
facilities, for all transportation modes, including any mitigation 
measures, are designed to: 
(a) Have the least negative impact on all applicable transportation 
facilities; and 
(b) Accommodate and encourage non-motor vehicular modes of 
transportation to the extent practicable; and 
(c) Make the most efficient use of land and public facilities as 
practicable; and 
(d) Provide the most direct, safe and convenient routes practicable 
between on-site destinations, and between on-site and off-site 
destinations; and 
(e) Othenvise comply with applicable requirements of the Clatsop 
County Land and Water Development Use Ordinance and the 
Standards Document. 
Findings: The ATEP Traffic Impact Study specifically addresses the approval 
criteria in this section. First, the Traffic Impact Study recognizes that the proposed use is served 
by a valid access point approved for quarry uses. The report confirms that there will be no 
increase in truck traffic from this application and confirms that the County and statewide 
transportation planning rules are complied with because the proposed use does not significantly 
affect a transportation facility. ATEP concludes that the existing access is valid and functioning 
and that alternative access points, while not specifically requested by Big River, might provide 
opportunities for shifting impacts. In addition, ATEP points out that gravel pit extraction 
processing and transportation requires motor vehicle modes of transportation. Aggregate mining 
- 2 5 -
is generally inconsistent with non-motor vehicle transportation modes. However, ATEP notes 
that the traffic plan provided by Big River does not adversely affect other modes of 
transportation and therefore accommodates and encourages such modes of transportation to the 
extent practicable. The ATEP report also demonstrates that the existing access is an efficient use 
of the land and also allows efficient use of Highway 26, the appropriate public facility, to the 
greatest extent practicable and provides a direct, equally safe and convenient access to Highway 
26. The direct access to Highway 26 provides the trucks with the most practicable routes 
between internal (on-site) destinations and between on-site and off-site destinations. ATEP 
demonstrates that the traffic pattern proposed by Big River is an efficient, equally safe and 
convenient way to move rock from the Ordway Quarry to the market areas in Clatsop County. 
Approval Criterion: Section 5,354 Amendments Affecting the Transportation 
System 
(1) Review of Applications for Effect on Transportation 
Facilities. 
When a development application includes a proposed 
comprehensive plan amendment, zone change or land use 
regulation change, the proposal shall be reviewed to determine 
whether it significantly affects a transportation facility. An 
amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it 
would: 
(A) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned 
transportation facility. This would occur, for example, when a 
proposal causes future traffic to exceed the capacity of "collector" 
street classification, requiring a change in the classification to an 
"arterial" street, as identified by the Clatsop County Transportation 
System Plan ("TSP"), or 
(B) Changes standards implementing a functional classification 
system; or 
(C) Allows types or levels of land use that would result in levels of 
travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional 
classification of a transportation facility; or 
(D) Reduce the performance standards of the facility below the 
minimum acceptable level identified in the Transportation System 
Plan. 
(2) Amendments That Affect Transportation Facilities. 
Amendments to the comprehensive plan, zoning map and land use 
regulations which significantly affect a transportation facility shall 
assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the function, 
capacity, and level of service of the facility identified in the TSP. 
This shall be accomplished by one of the following: 
(A) Amending the TSP to ensure that existing, improved, or new 
transportation facilities are adequate to support the proposed land 
- 2 6 -
uses consistent with the requirements of the Transportation 
Planning Rule (TPR); or, 
(B) Altering land use designations, densities, or design 
requirements to reduce demand for automobile travel and meet 
travel needs through other modes of transportation; or 
(C) Limiting allowed land uses to be consistent with the planned 
function of the transportation facility; or 
(D) Amending the TSP to modify the planned function, capacity 
and performance standards, as needed to accept greater motor 
vehicle congestion to promote mixed use, pedestrian friendly 
development where multimodal travel choices are provided. 
Findings: We incorporate by reference our findings under Goal 12 and our 
findings with regard to Section 5.352(4). As set forth in the ATEP Traffic Study and the 
application narrative, Big River proposes to use its existing and ODOT-approved access with the 
existing and approved number of trips. The application does not significantly affect 
transportation facility. First, it does not change any functional classification for an existing or 
planned transportation facility (such as changing a collector street to an arterial). Rather, access 
is directly to a state highway and no functional classification change is created by the proposed 
application. In addition, the application does not change any standard that implements a 
functional classification system. In addition, the application does not allow levels or types of 
land use that would result in levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional 
classification of the transportation facility. In this case, Highway 26 is a state highway/major 
arterial and the proposed traffic for the Big River application will be within the approved access 
limits of ODOT's change of use regulations. Finally, the application will not reduce the 
performance standards of any facility, specifically Highway 26, below a minimum acceptable 
level identified in the County's Transportation System Plan. The application is using approved 
truck numbers at the access and exit and not adding additional trips to the transportation system. 
Accordingly, there is no possibility that the proposed use can reduce performance standards on 
Highway 26. Because the application does not significantly affect the transportation facility, Big 
River does not request, and the county is not required, to amend its transportation system plan, 
alter its designations or limit allowed land uses. Accordingly, this standard is met. 
Section 5.400 Zone Changes. 
Approval Criterion: Section 5.410. Puipose. 
This section provides the criteria for amending the boundaries of 
any base zone or overlay district delineated on the official Clatsop 
County "Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Map." A change in a base 
zone or overlay district may be made according to the criteria set 
forth in Section 5.412. The process for changing a zone 
designation shall be a Type IV procedure initiated by the 
governing body, Planning Commission, or by petition of a majority 
of property owners in the area proposed for change. Mailed notice 
- 27 -
of the hearing shall include the owners of property within (250) 
feet of the area proposed for change. If the change involves a 
Goal 5 resource, a Plan amendment must also be requested and the 
Goal 5 Administrative Rule used to justify the decision. 
Findings: With this application the applicant, in cooperation with Weyerhaeuser 
(the sole owners of the subject property) is requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment and 
zone change pursuant to the Goal 5 administrative rule (OAR 660-23-0180) to apply the Quarry 
and Mining zone to the subject property for protection as a Goal 5 significant resource. In light 
of this, and the Type IV procedures that the County will follow in considering this PAPA 
application, this criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Section 5.412. Zone Change Criteria. 
The governing body shall approve anon-legislative zone 
designation change if it finds compliance with Section 1.040, and 
all of the following criteria: 
(1) The proposed change is consistent with the policies of the 
Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan. 
(2) The proposed change is consistent "with the statewide 
planning goals (ORS 197). 
(3) The property in the affected area "will be provided with 
adequate public facilities and services including, but not 
limited to: 
(A) Parks, schools and recreational facilities 
(B) Police and fire protection and emergency medical 
service 
(C) Solid waste collection 
(D) Water and wastewater facilities 
(4) The proposed change will insure that an adequate and safe 
transportation network exists to support the proposed 
zoning and will not cause undue traffic congestion or 
hazards. 
(5) The proposed change will not result in over-intensive use 
of the land, will give reasonable consideration to the 
character of the area, and will be compatible with the 
overall zoning pattern. 
(6) The proposed change gives reasonable consideration to 
peculiar suitability of the property for particular uses. 
(7) The proposed change will encourage the most appropriate 
use of land throughout Clatsop County. 
(8) The proposed change will not be detrimental to the health, 
safety and general welfare of Clatsop County. 
- 2 8 -
Findings: The applicant demonstrates compliance with Section 1.040 based upon 
the Findings for Section 5.302, above. The applicant demonstrates compliance with the 
remainder of this criterion based upon the following: (1) The proposed change is consistent 
with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan as demonstrated in the Findings related to 
Comprehensive Plan Standards below. (2) The proposed change is consistent with the statewide 
planning goals as is demonstrated in the findings for Statewide Goals, below. (3) The subject 
property will only have a limited need for public facilities and services. Since it is not a 
residential use, it will not need parks, schools and recreational facilities. It will have minimal 
needs for police, fire protection and emergency medical services and will not require any change 
in those services. The operation will handle its own solid waste by poita-potty and commercial 
waste services, and will manage storm water by directing it to onsite water detention ponds. 
There are no other public facilities that either will not be available at adequate levels or will not 
be provided by the applicant. (4) The proposed change will not cause undue traffic congestion 
or hazards as the existing ODOT-approved access will be used and no truck trips above the 
ODOT-approved average daily trip allowance will be created. The traffic volume will not 
increase at any of the access points over the ODOT change in access threshold. (5) The 
proposed change will not result in over-intensive use of the land, will give reasonable 
consideration to the character of the area, and will be compatible with the overall zoning pattern 
because (a) the mining use is a use that is allowed in the three zones that currently attach to the 
subject properties - the RA-2, AF-20 and F-80 zones; (b) portions of the property are already 
being used for mining, so that the proposed use is not a new use, merely an expansion of an 
existing use, (c) the current proposal has been designed to consider and mitigate the impacts on 
adjacent properties while at the same time providing Goal 5 protection for a valuable Goal 5 
resource, and (d) the use is compatible with the commercial forestry uses that predominate on the 
surrounding properties to the north, south and west, (6) The proposed change gives reasonable 
consideration to the peculiar suitability of the property for particular uses, because it recognizes 
the unique character of this site to provide a significant aggregate resource for use in the County 
at an already developed and active quany area. (7) The proposed change will encourage the 
most appropriate use of land throughout Clatsop County because it protects and promotes the use 
of a site whose potential as a significant aggregate resource is already recognized in the 
Comprehensive Plan, and that is currently actively used for mineral and aggregate operations. 
(8) The proposed change will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of 
Clatsop County because it meets all applicable DEQ standards (including noise), has 
ODOT-approved access and is in compliance with the requirements of the County's land use 
planning documents. In addition, the Goal 5 rule provides a balancing process that considers and 
mitigates for impacts on nearby properties. For all the above reasons, this criterion is met. 
COMPREHENSIVE FLAN 
The applicant has reviewed the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan Goals and 
Policies document dated May 2004. Based upon that review, the applicant believes that the only 
Comprehensive Plan provisions, goals, or policies that apply to this application are those 
addressed below. 
- 2 9 -
Goal 1. Citizen Involvement 
Consistent with Statewide Goal 1, the Goal 5 PAPA process actively involves citizens in 
the land use planning process in Clatsop County. We incorporate the discussion of statewide 
Goals 1 and 2 below. This application will receive public notice, and consideration by the 
Planning Commission with final decision by the Board of Commissioners of Clatsop County. 
Accordingly, the goal of citizen involvement is met. 
Goal 2. Land Use Planning 
Consistent with Statewide Goal 2, this county goal requires coordinated land use 
planning process and a framework to establish the basis for all land use decisions. We 
incorporate our analysis of Goal 1 above. The process will provide public notice and multiple 
hearings. A request for a PAPA proper application is a Comprehensive Plan application to 
protect a Goal 5 mineral and aggregate source that the County Comprehensive Plan specifically 
recognizes to be rare in Clatsop County and deserving of protection. The PAPA application is 
consistent with the existing designation of the Ordway Quarry. To the extent that the County's 
Goal 5 inventoiy classification for mineral and aggregate sites requires the Ordway Quarry to be 
placed within the "primary sites" category, a change in the inventoiy is requested through this 
application. Such change is appropriate as demonstrated in the findings and supporting 
materials. For all of these reasons, Goal 2 of the County Comprehensive Plan is met. 
Goal 3. Agricultural Land 
As indicated in the application, there is no land dedicated to agricultural production in the 
area. We incorporate the discussion of Statewide Goal 3 below. This standard is met. 
Goal 4. Forest Lands 
Consistent with Statewide Goal 4, Clatsop County's Goal 4 mandates conservation and 
maintenance of the state's forest land base and directs that the forest lands be preserved for forest 
uses. Forest uses include mineral and aggregate extraction. The principal land owner of the 
extraction area, Weyerhaeuser, is a commercial forestry company, and it has consented to the 
development of the Ordway Quarry, consistent with its ongoing forest uses. The reclamation 
plan for the site is to return the area to forest and wildlife habitat uses consistent with ongoing 
mining, under the direction of DOGAMI. No division or parcelization of forest land is 
contemplated by this application. Elk currently traverse the property and there will be no 
barriers constructed (i.e., fences) to prohibit future use of the area by wildlife. The applicant has 
maintained significant setbacks from Vollmer Creek Road and from Highway 26. Both Vollmer 
Creek Road and Highway 26 separate the extraction and project area from nearby waterways, 
Wetland areas near Highway 26 will not be part of the excavation and operational portions of the 
Big River project. No new forest roads are required and access to the forest areas will remain 
gated as is currently the case. Based on all of these factors, the County's Goal 4 provisions are 
met. 
- 30 -
Goal 5. Open Space, Scenic and Historic Areas and Natural Resources. 
Mineral and Aggregate Resources. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 1. 
The County shall protect significant mineral and aggregate resources consistent 
with Statewide Planning Goal 5 and the process for complying with the Goal 
specified in Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 660, Division 16. 
Findings: The County inventoried and identified significant sites for mineral and 
aggregate resources as part of the Goal 5 process it completed at the time of the adoption of its 
Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's site was at that time included on the Comprehensive Plan 
inventory as a "Primary Site Requiring Conditional Use Approval." The applicant's site was not 
designated a significant site at that time, nor given any special protection under Goal 5. The 
County's Comprehensive Plan has been acknowledged as in compliance with the Statewide 
Planning Goals by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. As is discussed more 
fully below, "Primary Sites Requiring Conditional Use Approval" were considered "potential 
sites" for which sufficient information concerning the location, quality, and quantity of a 
resources site is not adequate, and were considered sites which could be considered for Goal 5 
protection when additional information about a site was derived and a determination was made 
through a Goal 5 process. That is the exact request that is being made in this application. To the 
extent that a specific request would need to be made to move the Ordway site fi-om the "Primary 
Sites Requiring Conditional Use Approval" category to the "Primary Sites Requiring QMO 
Protection", that request is made part of this application. 
We incorporate by reference the findings under statewide Goal 5, below. The 
applicant is following the required PAPA process, providing information to show that the quality 
and quantity of material exceeds the 500,000 cubic yard threshold in the PAPA rule and the 
lower 250,000 cubic yard threshold in the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan. This application 
discusses and demonstrates the significance of the resource. It also demonstrates that the site 
should be appropriately designated with a QM zone through the PAPA process, There are no 
conflicting inventoried Goal 5 resources on the site. There is a Goal 5 resource at the Necanicum 
River. As demonstrated in the application, the mineral and aggregate operation is separated from 
Necanicum River by Highway 26 and a significant buffer zone to the east/northeast of 
Highway 26, The flat areas immediately west of Highway 26 and between Highway 26 and the 
rock resource will not be used as part of excavation operations. This provides a significant 
buffer that will project resource values along the Necanicum River. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 2. 
In making a decision whether to protect a significant mineral or aggregate site 
from conflicting uses, the County shall recognize that Goal 5 requires the 
protection of natural resources for future generations, and that the requirements of 
other applicable Statewide Planning Goals must be considered in any analysis of 
conflicting uses. 
- 3 1 -
Findings: The applicant is asking the County to determine, through the State 
Goal 5 PAPA process, that the subject property already on the County's Goal 5 inventory 
contains a mineral and aggregate resource that is significant and worthy of protection from future 
conflicting uses. The significance determination is a recognition not only that the resource is 
available, but that it is available in a location, quantity, and quality that will provide a valuable 
product for use in the area and for the benefit of the citizens of the County for years to come. 
Recognizing that such protection must be balanced by recognition of other priorities, this 
application also considers the other Statewide planning goals in balancing needs through this 
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Goal 5 process, as is discussed more fully in the findings 
below. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 3. 
The County shall maintain an inventory of mineral and aggregate resources sites. 
The Comprehensive Plan inventory shall consist of three parts: 
a. An inventory of "significant sites" identified through the 
Goal 5 process as important resources that will be protected 
from conflicting uses; 
b. An inventory of "potential sites" for which sufficient 
information concerning the location, quality, and quantity 
of a resources site is not adequate so as to allow the County 
to make a determination of significance; 
c. An inventory of "other sites" for which available 
information demonstrates that the site is not a significant 
resource to be protected. 
Findings: The County completed its inventory and included it in the 
Comprehensive Plan. The categories used were: Primary Sites Requiring QMO Protection; 
Primary Sites Requiring Conditional Use Approval; and Other Sites. These three categories 
correlate to the references in this Policy to Significant Sites, Potential Sites, and Other Sites. The 
applicant's site was designated on the County inventory in the Comprehensive Plan as a Primary 
Site Requiring Conditional Use Approval. No determination was made in the Comprehensive 
Plan as to this site's significance and no decision was made to protect this site under Goal 5. The 
Comprehensive Plan did allow the site to operate subject to compliance with conditional use 
standards, which is the basis of a current operation on a portion of the subject property. The 
Comprehensive Plan also provided that additional information could be provided for potential 
sites as a basis for the County considering a site for protection under Goal 5. However, with 
regard to this criterion, the inventory required by this Policy was designated when the County 
adopted its Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's site was on that inventory. This Policy does 
not create an approval criterion that applies to this application. In any event, applicant is asking 
for a Goal 5 "significant site" inventoiy designation for the extraction area through this PAPA 
request. This criterion is met. 
- 32 -
Approval Criterion: Policy 4. 
The location of a mineral or aggregate resource shall be identified as the site of a 
recoverable source of material. A resource site may consist of all or portions of a 
parcel, and may comprise contiguous parcels in different ownerships. 
Identification of a resource site need not include mineral and aggregate reserves 
that are irrevocably committed to other land uses that are incompatible with 
surface mining. 
Findings: Policy 4 was considered at the time the applicant's site was placed on 
the Comprehensive Plan inventory. This site was designated on the inventory as "George 
Ordway/' with an indication of the location by section and the mineral present (basalt). This 
current application is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan identification, in that it relates to 
continuous material (a single hummock) on contiguous parcels, which now are in two 
ownerships. This Policy creates requirements relating to placing a mineral or aggregate site on 
the County inventory. The applicant's site is already on the County inventory. This Policy does 
not create an approval criterion that applies to this application. In any event, applicant is asking 
for a Goal 5 "significant site" inventory designation for the extraction area through this PAPA 
request. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 5. 
For an aggregate site to be determined significant, the resource must meet Oregon 
Department of Transportation specifications for base aggregate rock. It is the 
County's policy to protect the highest quality rock for future use. 
Findings: The resource on the subject property meets the ODOT standards, as is 
demonstrated in the report of the applicant's geologist accompanying this application narrative, 
This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 6, 
For an aggregate site to be determined significant, the site must possess a 
minimum of 250,000 cubic yards of minable reserves. It is the policy of the 
County to protect a variety of large reserves in order to serve the regional market. 
Findings: The resource on the expansion property contains over 5 million tons of 
reserves, as is demonstrated in the report of the applicant's geologist accompanying this 
application narrative. This is more than 3 million cubic yards (estimated conservatively), This 
criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 9. 
The County shall recognize existing surface mining operations as significant 
resources pursuant to Goal 5, and shall allow existing operations to continue for 
two years without conforming to the performance standards in the zoning 
ordinance. Expansion beyond the limits of an existing site shall be in accordance 
with County zoning regulations. 
- 33 -
Findings: As demonstrated on this application narrative, the proposed Ordway 
Quarry complies with all the applicable approval criteria. Big River is requesting the expansion 
through the PAPA process, as allowed under state law. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 10. 
The scope of an existing or "grandfathered" aggregate operation shall be 
established by: 
a. Authorization by a County land use approval; or 
b. The extent of the area disturbed by mining on the 
effective date of this ordinance; or 
c. The continuous pursuit of a specific mining plan by an 
operator for not less than five years. 
Findings: This criterion is not applicable. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 11. 
In order to maintain the right to continue an existing surface mining operation and 
bring the County's inventory of mineral and aggregate resources into compliance 
with Goal 5, an analysis of economic, social, environmental, and energy 
("ESEE") consequences performed for an existing site shall only consider the 
consequences of potential conflicting uses upon current or future operations, and 
the consequences of mine expansion on existing or potential conflicting uses. 
Findings: This Policy was intended to cover mineral and aggregate sites like the 
subject property that were existing sites at the time the Comprehensive Plan was adopted, but for 
which information was not adequate to designate the site as significant or insignificant. These 
existing sites were considered "Potential Sites" and included on the Comprehensive Plan 
inventoiy as "Primary Sites Requiring Conditional Use Approval." These sites had the option to 
be considered in the future for protection as significant Goal 5 sites, (See, e.g., Policy 13.) This 
Policy 11 was designed to provide that when an existing site was considered for protection under 
Goal 5, the ESEE analysis conducted as part of that consideration only needed to consider the 
consequences of potential (not existing) conflicting uses upon current or future mining 
operations, and the consequences of mine expansion (not the existing mining operation) on 
existing or potential conflicting uses. This limit on the ESEE analysis was created in recognition 
of the existing status of these sites at the time of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, and the 
desire to not penalize these sites because of the inadequacy of the information about them at the 
time of the adoption of the Plan. This Policy, however, was only intended to apply when these 
existing sites were considered for Goal 5 significance and protection. As set forth in the 
application materials, applicant's proposal meets all requirements for the PAPA approval in that 
all conflicts can be minimized. In addition, under the controlling statewide Goal 5 PAPA rule, 
an ESEE analysis is only required if identifying conflicting uses cannot be minimized. (See 
discussioivStatewide Goal 5 below.) In this instance, all conflicts identified by the PAPA rule 
- 3 4 -
can be minimized and an "overall" ESEE is not required. (See OAR 660-023~0180(4)(d)). 
However, the current PAPA rule also requires local government, once it has made a 
determination to allow the aggregate mining, to use the ESEE process to determine whether the 
county will allow, limit or prevent new conflicting uses within the impact area of the significant 
mineral resource site. (See OAR 660-023-0180(5)). This ESEE analysis will be performed as 
part of the final findings document. To the extent it is applicable, the criteria is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 12, 
Sites on the "other sites" inventory shall not be protected pursuant to Goal 5. 
Findings: This criterion is not applicable. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 13. 
For sites on the "potential sites" inventory, the County shall review available 
information about mineral and aggregate resources, and if the information is 
sufficient, determine the site to be significant when one of the following 
conditions exists: 
a. As part of the next scheduled periodic review; 
b. When a landowner or operator submits information 
concerning the potential significance of a resource site and 
requests a Comprehensive Plan amendment; 
c. When resolution of the status of a potential resource is 
necessary to advance another planning objective, 
Findings: The applicant's site is on the "Potential Sites" list. By this application, 
the property owners are submitting information concerning the significance of the site and 
requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment to protect the aggregate resource on the site under 
Goal 5. This meets the second trigger for the County to determine the site's significance. This 
criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 14. 
For each site determined to be significant, the County shall complete the 
remainder of the Goal 5 process of identifying conflicting uses, analyzing the 
ESEE consequences of the conflicting use(s), and designating a level of protection 
from conflicting uses. If the final decision concerning the site is to fully preserve 
or partially protect the resource from conflicting uses, the site shall be zoned with 
the Mineral and Aggregate Resources Overlay. 
Findings: The County is considering this application pursuant to the Goal 5 
process, and will make the decisions required by this criterion as part of its decision on this 
application. As noted in the findings above, the state Goal 5 rule which controls has altered the 
ESEE requirements to the extent that if all conflicts can be minimized, an initial ESEE analysis 
- 35-
is not required. The post-decision ESEE analysis related to allowing, eliminating or preventing 
conflicting uses within the impact area must still be performed. The County may also implement 
the QM zone instead of the QM overlay because the QM zone also protects the Goal 5 resource. 
Based upon that process, and the decisions the County will make on this application, this 
criterion will be met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 15. 
When analyzing the ESEE consequences of potential conflicts between a 
significant mineral or aggregate resource and another significant Goal 5 resource, 
the County shall consider the protection program adopted for the conflicting 
resource. Conflicts with other natural resources shall not be the basis for mining 
restrictions unless the County has included the conflicting resource on the 
inventory of significant Goal 5 resources, and adopted a resource protection 
program. 
Findings: As demonstrated in the application materials, there are no conflicts 
with other inventoried Goal 5 uses. To the extent it is applicable, this standard is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 16. 
The County may consider the effects of surface mining operations on public roads 
and traffic. Consideration may include review of proposed routes, site distances at 
access points, roadway width and alignment, and level of service. The County 
may impose conditions or restrictions directly related to the impact created by 
surface mining; however, any conditions or restrictions shall not be approval 
criteria, and shall be applied uniformly to all road users in a manner consistent 
with the County's transportation plan. 
Findings: We incorporate by reference our findings under Goal 12 below, and 
the County's transportation policies above. This standard is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 17. 
In order to approve surface mining at a site zoned for exclusive farm or forestry 
use, the County shall find, as part of the ESEE analysis, that the proposed activity 
will not: (1) force a significant change in, or significantly increase the cost of, 
accepted farming or forestry practices on surrounding lands; and (2) will not 
significantly increase fire hazard, significantly increase fire suppression costs, or 
significantly increase risks to fire suppression personnel. 
Findings: The findings for statewide Goals 3 and 4 which are incorporated 
herein by reference. Based upon these findings, this criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 19. 
The County shall require increased setbacks, insulation, screening, or similar 
measures as conditions of approval for any new conflicting use within an impact 
- 3 6 -
area surrounding a mineral or aggregate resource site when such measures are 
deemed necessary to resolve conflicts identified in a site-specific Goal 5 analysis. 
Findings: As shown in the application materials, setbacks and screening will be 
maintained. The 1,500 impact area crosses Highway 26 to the east. However, applicant controls 
all relevant property to the west of Highway 26. Any impacts (e.g., noise) will be minimized and 
will riot exceed DEQ standards at any properties to the east of Highway 26. The County has 
discretion under the PAPA process to place limits on properties to the east of Highway 26, but 
given the operational parameters proposed by Big River, may not be required to do so to protect 
the mineral and aggregate resource. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 20. 
The County may establish and impose conditions on operation of a surface mine 
when deemed necessary as a result of a site-specific Goal 5 analysis. Where such 
conditions conflict with criteria and standards in the Mineral and Aggregate 
Resources Overlay, the conditions developed through the Goal [5] analysis shall 
control. 
Findings: We have provided the County with a list of requested conditions to 
ensure the Goal 5 requirements are met. Additional conditions may be developed through the 
hearing process. Again, the County may implement the QM zone in place of the QM overlay to 
protect the Goal 5 resource. The conditions of approval developed through the Goal 5 process 
will control if either the QM zone or the QM overlay is used. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 21, 
As part of the ESEE analysis and decision on the level of protection to be 
afforded significant mineral and aggregate resource sites, the County shall 
determine the appropriate post-mining use of the site. 
Findings: We have suggested reclamation to forestry/habitat uses, consistent 
with the forestry zoning of the site, consistent with the requirements under PAPA rule and 
consistent with the uses in the area and the underlying zones. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 22. 
The County recognizes the jurisdiction of the Department of Geology and Mineral 
Industries for the purpose of the mined land reclamation pursuant to ORS 517.750 
to 517.900 and the rules adopted thereunder. 
Findings: The applicant can and will comply with all applicable DOGAMI 
requirements. The applicant has a currently valid DOGAMI permit for its existing operations. 
With a condition of approval requiring such, this criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 23. 
Unless specifically determined on a case-by-case basis, it shall be the policy of 
the County, pursuant to ORS 517.830(3), that DOGAMI delay its final decision 
- 3 7 -
on approval of a reclamation plan and issuance of an operating permit, as those 
terms are defined by statute and administrative rule, until all issues concerning 
local land use approval have been adjudicated by the County. 
Findings: Applicant will apply to modify its current DOGAMI permit after 
County land use approval is final. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 24. 
No surface mining or processing activity, as defined by the zoning ordinance, 
shall commence without land use approval from the County, and approval of a 
reclamation plan and issuance of an operating permit by DOGAMI. 
Findings: The applicant is seeking, through this application, to allow mining of 
the site under a Goal 5 protection program and a Quarry and Mining zone designation. Approval 
of this application will constitute the approval required by this Policy. The applicant has a 
DOGAMI operations permit and reclamation plan for an existing approved operation under a 
County conditional use permit, and will amend that DOGAMI permit and reclamation plan once 
it has received County approval for the proposed expansion of the quarry operations. DOGAMI 
is aware of the applicant's intention to seek approval to expand the mining operation and we 
expect approval from DOGAMI for the expanded operation. A condition of approval can be 
added to the approval of this application, requiring issuance of the amended DOGAMI permit 
prior to any expanded use under the County conditional use approval. This criterion is, or with 
the imposition of a condition of approval, will be met. 
(Fish and Wildlife Areas and Habitats). 
Approval Criterion: Policy 2, 
2. To ensure that future development does not unduly 
conflict with Peripheral Big Game Range, the County shall: 
a. require that review and conditional uses in the 
AF-20 zone be allowed only if they are found to be 
consistent with the maintenance of big game range; 
b. require that review of conditional uses in the 
AF-20 zone be subject to clustering and siting 
criteria; 
c. submit proposed review and conditional use 
applications to the Oregon Department of Fish and 
Wildlife for their comments on consistency with 
Peripheral Big Game Range and recommendations 
on appropriate siting criteria to minimize any 
conflict. 
- 38-
Findings: The applicant's site is within Peripheral Big Game Range as 
designated in the Comprehensive Plan. The ordinance has an AF-zone approval criterion 
(Section 3.522(5)) that requires that proposed development in the AF zone be consistent with the 
maintenance of big game range. Since the proposed mining expansion does not involve 
residential development, clustering and siting criteria do not apply. The County will submit the 
proposed expansion to the Oregon Depaitment of Fish and Wildlife for their comments, which 
will be considered as part of the review process. The 1984 conditional use application 
determined that there would be minimal impact on wildlife (deer and elk) habitat. This 
expansion will not materially change the impacts of the already approved existing mining 
operation.' Subject to a consideration of any comments made by the Oregon Department of Fish 
and Wildlife, this criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 4. 
4. To protect riparian vegetation along streams and lakes 
not covered by the Forest Practices Act, the County shall 
require a setback for nonwater dependent uses. 
Findings: There are two water courses on the applicant's property. One is in the 
southeasterly comer near the entrance to the site (which is not affected by the proposed 
expansion). A second intermittent and perennial stream runs seasonally from the westerly part of 
tax lot 1203 in a northerly direction to a pipe crossing under Highway 26 on tax lot 900. As is 
shown in the Site Plan, both streams will be protected because they are not in the extraction or 
general operation area and 50~foot setbacks will protect riparian vegetation. This criterion is 
met. 
Goal 6. Air, Water and Land Quality. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 12. 
The District Conservationist shall be used for technical evaluation 
of all development activities that could create erosion and 
sedimentation problems with his/her recommendations 
incorporated into planning approvals. 
Findings: There is a general potential for erosion due to the steepness of the 
slope of the mined hillside, the road that accesses the mining activity, and the berms and 
stockpiles that are proposed. However, applicant's geologist indicates the steep slopes are stable 
due to the underlying basalt and all erosion sources can be controlled. Comments from the 
District Conservationist may be requested to confirm the geology report. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 13. 
Any development of land, or change in designation of use of land, 
shall not occur until it is assured that such change or development 
complies with applicable state and federal environmental quality 
statutes, rules, or standards. 
- 3 9 -
Findings: The applicant believes that the only applicable state and federal 
environmental quality requirements that relate to the proposed mining operation are the 
requirements imposed by DOGAMI regarding mining, reclamation, and erosion control and the 
requirements of DEQ relating to storm water, noise control, and air quality as it relates to the use 
of a crusher. As is discussed above in the findings, DOGAMI is aware the applicant's proposed 
operation has expressed no obstacles to amending the current mining permit to incorporate the 
proposed operation. That permit amendment will also include any state permitting required for 
storm water control (DOGAMI implements DEQ's storm water permitting program for mining 
operations). Applicable DEQ noise requirements can be met, as documented in the report 
prepared by Daly-Standlee, the applicant's acoustical engineering firm. The only air quality 
issue concerns the operation of the portable crusher. The owner of the crusher, not the owner of 
the site at which the crusher is used, must maintain the permit needed to operate the crusher. The 
crusher the applicant expects to use (either Big River owned or third party owned) has an 
existing permit for the use of the crusher, a copy of which is included in the application. Based 
upon the above, the applicant and the proposed development can comply with this criterion. 
This criterion is met. 
Goal 7. Natural Hazards. 
Flood Hazard Policies. 
Approval Criterion: Policies 1 - 1 1 address development in a Flo o dp lain. 
Findings: The only area of the applicant's property that has any flood hazard 
designation is an approximately 100 foot to 175 foot wide area adjacent to Highway 26 on tax 
lot 900, which is designated as a floodplain, It runs for a length of approximately 450 feet. 
None of this area will be disturbed as part of the excavation area for the mining operation. 
Therefore, none of the Flood Hazard Policies are applicable to this application. 
General Mass Movement Policies. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 5. 
Projects that include plans for modifying the topography of sloping areas or 
established drainage patterns shall be evaluated in terms of the effect these 
changes would have on slope stability. 
Findings: We incorporate our Goal 7 findings and the findings for Standards 
Document.S3.700 by reference herein. The only part of the proposed expanded mining operation 
that will change the topography of existing slopes or established drainage patterns affecting slope 
stability relates to changes that will be made as part of the extraction of the mineral resource. 
DOGAMI regulates this as part of its regulation of the mining operation, including the effects on 
slope stability. DOGAMI has approved the slope stability of the applicant's current operation 
and will review changes to the operation as they affect slope stability in the future. The report of 
applicant's registered geologist confirms slope stability on the site. This is a matter for 
DOGAMI regulation as part of its oversight of the mining operation. Other than the 
- 4 0 -
modification of the hillside for the mining operation, no change in topography on the site will 
affect slope stability. Therefore, to the extent this criterion applies to this application, it is met. 
Development Policies for Areas of Mass Movement. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 2. 
Access roads and driveways shall follow slope contours to reduce the need for 
grading and filling, reduce erosion, and prevent the rapid discharge of runoff into 
natural drainageways. 
Findings: All roads used at the site follow, or will follow to the extent 
appropriate, slope contours to avoid exceeding grades for haul trucks and to reduce erosion. The 
existing access point at Highway 26 is flat. Applicant will make improvements as necessary to 
maintain slope stability. Storm water will be controlled onsite. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 3. 
Loss of ground cover for moderately to steeply sloping lands may cause land 
slippage and erosion problems by increasing runoff velocity. Development on 
moderate to steep slopes should generally leave the natural topography of the site 
intact. Existing vegetation, particularly trees, should be retained on the site. 
Findings: Interior quarry slopes must be benched pursuant to DOGAMI 
requirements to assure stability. The underlying basalt at this site is stable. Consistent with the 
mining plan, vegetation will be retained on external slopes to assist with screening and to limit 
erosion. Overburden will be saved for reclamation per DOGAMI requirements. This criterion is 
met. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 4. 
The County shall require a preliminary slope stability investigation in the 
following hazard areas: 
a. Where detailed soils maps exist, in hazardous soils areas 
listed in Table 2; 
b. Where no detailed soil maps exist, all areas which have 
slopes in excess of 25 percent. 
Where the preliminary slope stability investigation 
indicates mass movement hazards on the site, a detailed site 
investigation report shall be prepared. The detailed report 
shall indicate the severity of the hazard and any 
recommended techniques that could be used to alleviate the 
hazard before structures, roads, and septic tanks are 
allowed in noncommercial forest lands. 
- 41 -
Findings: Applicant's geologist has carefully examined the site and has 
determined that slope stability can be maintained throughout the mining process. We incorporate 
our findings from Standards Document Criteria S3.700 below. The site must be reclaimed to 
DOGAMI standards. This criterion is met. 
Goal 12. Transportation. 
Approval Criterion: Policy 16. 
16. Roads in Clatsop County shall be designed, constructed, and 
maintained to: 
a. Streets and roads in Clatsop County, excluding State highways, 
should be capable of ensuring unrestricted travel to and from a 
property. 
b. Provide adequate, safe, and legal access with minimal public 
cost. 
c. Place the burden of the costs on the benefited person(s). 
d. Provide access for fire protection, ambulance, police, mail, 
school bus, public transit, and garbage services. 
e. Provide for drainage ways and utility services. 
f. Minimize, within the constraints of reasonable engineering 
practices and costs, the creation of roads within lands designated 
for Exclusive Farm Use, Forest Resource, Rural, and Rural Service 
Areas designated by the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan. 
g. Ensure that the new road will minimize interference with forest 
management or harvesting practices. 
h. Minimize within the constraints of reasonable engineering 
practices and costs the loss of productive agricultural or forest 
land, and be located on that portion of such land that is least 
suitable for timber or agricultural production, taking into 
consideration, but not limited to, the following: topography, soil 
capability or classification, erosion potential, and the size and 
resultant configuration of the affected tracts. 
i. Minimize the loss of important wildlife habitat, such as sensitive 
deer and elk range, identified natural areas, and other significant 
natural features. 
- 42 -
Findings: The onsite haul truck routes will be entirely on private roads. Roads 
will be maintained, including graveling as necessary, to ensure that they are appropriate for 
heavy truck travel. Legal and ODOT-approved access is established at the site's current entry. 
Unrestricted travel to and from the property by the general public is prohibited. Existing and 
approved legal access is available at no cost to the public. As is currently the case, adequate 
access and travel lanes exist for fire protection, ambulance, police, mail and other services. 
There will be 110 school buses or public transport on the site. All the elements of an onsite haul 
truck system are in place and modifications will occur as the mining footprint changes due to 
ongoing operations. Road construction and maintenance will not interfere with forest 
management or harvesting practices and in fact, the transportation system depends on the upkeep 
and maintenance of forest harvest roads. No productive agricultural or forest lands will be lost to 
new roads on the site. Applicant's preferred alternative does not require any road construction 
and, therefore, there will be no loss of wildlife habitat or identified natural areas or any other 
significant natural features. These criteria are met. 
STANDARDS DOCUMENT. 
S2.012 Clear Vision Area. 
This provision provides for a clear vision area (with no plantings, fence or 
structures) at the comers of all property, at the intersection of two streets, or the intersection of a 
street and a railroad. There is no intersection of two streets or a street and a railroad on the site 
and this standard does not apply. 
S2.200 Off-Street Parking Required. 
Sections 2,200 through 2.212 involve parking space and loading requirements. 
There is no specific level of parking required for a quarry operation, The closest category of use 
is an industrialized type of development that requires one parking space per employee on the 
largest shift. At peak operation, Big River estimates the largest shift at the Ordway Quarry to be 
five workers. Parking areas with at least five parking spaces will be designated near the existing 
scale house and the quarry floor, as necessary, Parking spaces are located strategically onsite 
and are not shared by other users. Parking spaces are not located in any required front or side 
yard setback area abutting a public street. Parking areas will not be used for storage or display of 
vehicles and materials. An onsite parking plan is submitted with the application. Parking spaces 
will have adequate aisles and turnaround space for all vehicles, including emergency vehicles. 
Parking spaces will be designed and constructed to facilitate the flow of traffic on and off the 
site. All parking areas will be graveled and adequately maintained for all-weather use and to 
allow percolation of storm water and elimination of sheet flows. Parking spaces will be 
permanently marked with signs, if required by the County in an active quarry area. Wheel stops 
and bumper guards are not appropriate for a quarry use because of the need for vehicles to drive 
through and maneuver. Any artificial lighting on the site will be directed away from adjoining 
dwellings and living units. Because loading of rock is integral to the operation of a quarry, there 
will also be designated loading areas onsite that are well in excess of the loading facilities 
requirements in the Standards Document. The parking and loading standards are met. 
-43 -
S2.300 Sign Requirements. 
This portion of the standards document discusses guidelines and restrictions on 
additional signage. The cuirent Big River quarry operation has a sign that complies with the 
requirements of this section. The sign will not be changed or altered with the proposed expanded 
use. This standard is met. 
S2.503 Erosion Control Plan. 
Approval Criterion: 
S2.503(1) An Erosion Control Plan shall be required for land disturbing 
activities, in conjunction with a development permit. 
Findings: An erosion control plan is attached. We request erosion control 
approval as part of this application. 
Clatsop County Standards Document Sections S2.503 and S2.504 lay out the 
requirements for erosion control plans in the design and operations standards and requirements 
for erosion control plans. Big River has prepared and submitted an erosion control narrative and 
erosion control plan map as part of the PAPA application. In general terms, the erosion control 
plan calls for retention of vegetation along the easterly, northerly and westerly boundaries of the 
site. In addition, the plan will rely on the stable nature of the basaltic rock and interior benching 
to control erosion on the interior portions of the quarry proper. As indicated in the geologist's 
report and again on the erosion control map, there are sufficient areas in the western portions of 
the site for storm water control basins to control erosion and run-off. The primary method of 
controlling erosion will be to direct water from interior quarry operations into the quarry pit for 
appropriate disposal either through fracturing the base of the quarry to facilitate percolation or 
through removal into sedimentation ponds as necessary. In no circumstances will any sediment, 
storm water or erosion material enter any of the water courses in the general area, including 
Vollmer Creek or the Necanicum River. As indicated on the erosion control map, significant 
vegetative buffers exist on all sides of the extraction area and provide a sufficient buffer for 
elimination of erosion. 
As further indicated in the report of the Registered Geologist, the quarry area is 
underlain by a hard basalt which is resistant to erosion. Hard rock minimizes sedimentation 
issues. Overburden piles will be stored and vegetated as necessary to ensure that erosion occurs 
and storm water does not leave the site. The application area is not within a beach or dune area. 
In addition, in compliance with standard DOGAMI operating procedures, the 
vegetative cover currently in place on the site will remain in place on a declining basis as the 
project progresses over the years. Retention of this vegetation greatly reduces the possibility for 
erosion and sedimentation. Big River will obtain the appropriate water quality permit for storm 
water run-off at the site. Erosion control measures, including the retention of buffers, internal 
direction of storm water and sediment basins, will ensure that storm water, sediment and erosion 
do not affect adjacent properties. Consistent with reclamation requirements at DOGAMI, upon 
- 44 -
the completion of quarry operations, the stockpiled overburden will be broadcast over the site 
and the area will be replanted. At this time, Big River does not see the need for the installation 
of filter banners, filter fences, straw bales, or equivalent control measures. However, these 
measures are available on a spot basis as needed to ensure that erosion and sedimentation do not 
occur. All of the internal haul truck roads will be graveled which will allow for percolation of 
precipitation and reduce mud, dirt and other sediment. The lip of the existing access is paved to 
ensure there is no track-out of mud or other sediment onto Highway 26. We note that one of the 
County's erosion standard requires that "storage piles" containing more than 10 cubic yards of 
material should be covered with a sediment blanket. This is impracticable for a quarry operation 
which could potentially have storage stockpiles of several hundred yards of crushed material that 
are actively worked and replenished. As these storage piles are part of the core business of the 
quarry, a blanket or other impervious cover is inappropriate. However, Big River will situate 
stockpiles in areas where any run-off may be controlled so erosion and sedimentation will be 
minimized. 
Sedimentation and erosion control is an active process at the Ordway Quarry for 
Big River. During the rainy season, the company frequently inspects and takes corrective action 
as needed. This can include hay bales, sediment fencing, mulching, seeding and removal of 
sediment build-up behind barriers. The design and operations standards of the LWDUO related 
to erosion control are met by this application. 
S3.509. Not Force Significant Change. 
Approval Criterion: Section S3.509, 
Certain uses in the F-80, AF, and EFU zones may only be approved subject to 
these standards: 
1. A use proposed on agricultural land requiring compliance with 
this section may be approved only where the County finds that the 
use will not: 
(a) Force a significant change in accepted farm or forest practices 
on surrounding lands devoted to farm or forest use; or 
(b) Significantly increase the cost of accepted farm or forest 
practices on surrounding lands devoted to farm or forest use. 
- 4 5 -
A use proposed on forest land requiring compliance with this section may be 
approved only where the County finds that the use will not: 
Force a significant change in, or significantly increase the cost of, accepted farm 
or forest practices on agriculture or forest lands: or 
Significantly increase fire hazard, significantly increase fire suppression costs, or 
significantly increase risks of fire suppression personnel. 
An applicant for a use requiring compliance with subsection (1) may demonstrate 
that the standards for approval set forth in subsection (1) of this section will be 
satisfied through the imposition of conditions. Any conditions so imposed shall 
be clear and objective. 
Findings: As indicated in this application, none of the properties in the general 
area are used for directed agricultural purposes. Some properties in the area may have an 
occasional fruit tree or cane berry patch, but there is no commercial agriculture in any of the 
surrounding properties. On the property immediately to the south, there is a barn that is used for 
horses. Practices associated with these small non-commercial agricultural activities would 
include pruning, harvesting, occasional spraying and mowing. Practices associated with keeping 
horses would include feeding, exercise and manure disposal. As indicated previously, Big River 
works with the horse property owner to accept excess horse manure that is used as a soil 
amendment on the Big River property. We are aware of no portion of our activities which causes 
problems or difficulties with keeping horses on the neighboring property. The ongoing mineral 
and aggregate extraction activities on the site have not forced any change in the accepted 
practices related to horses on the adjoining property. In addition, Big River's practice of 
accepting excess manure as a soil amendment helps decrease the cost of maintaining horses on 
the property as the manure would have to be disposed of in some other manner and transferred a 
greater distance. Accordingly, to the extent there are any farm uses or farm practices on 
adjoining properties, continuing mineral and aggregate activities on the Big River site will not 
force a significant change in any accepted farm practices on surrounding lands devoted to farm 
use nor will mineral and aggregate extraction significantly increase the cost of accepted farm 
practices on surrounding lands devoted to farm uses. We incorporate our finding under county 
and statewide Goals 3 and 4. 
The land generally north, south and west of the proposed extraction and 
processing area is zoned F-80, and is owned by Weyerhaeuser and managed for timber 
production. Timber practices in the area include harvesting, thinning, application of fertilizers, 
application of herbicides, construction of roads, extraction of rock for roads, skidding, bucking, 
piling and transporting of raw forest materials to offsite processing mills. The proposed 
operation will not significantly change the basic nature of the current forestry operations in the 
general area and, for that reason, will not force a significant change in accepted forest practices 
or significantly increase the cost of accepted forest practices, fire hazards, or suppression costs. 
Moreover, mining in general, and the uses accessory to mining, are not incompatible with forest 
practices. First, mining is part of normal forestry practices and essential to constructing forestry 
- 4 6 -
roads. Second, mining is not a sensitive use (such as residential use) that might be adversely 
impacted by the impacts of forest operations. Conversely, the types of activities associated with 
mining operations (types of machinery used, noise associated with such use, movement of soil 
and earth, and trucks, etc.) are virtually the same types of activities associated with timber 
operations. Because of the similarity of the types of activities associated with forestry and 
mining uses, and the fact that this application expands an existing mining operation, the proposed 
use will not force a significant change in, or significantly increase the cost of, accepted forest 
practices, nor will it increase fire hazard, fire suppression costs, or significantly increase risks to 
fire suppression personnel. With regard to fire hazards, Big River will necessarily clear 
extraction areas of combustible materials as part of its mining operations. The extraction area 
will serve as a firebreak. In addition, Big River will have heavy equipment on the site, including 
a water truck, that can aid in fire suppression if required. This criterion is met. 
S 3.516. Mining in EFU and AF Zones. 
Approval Criterion: S3.516 1. 
A land use permit is required for mining more than 1,000 cubic yards of material 
or excavation preparatory to mining of a surface area of more than one acre. The 
County may set standards for a lower volume or smaller surface area than that set 
forth in this subsection. 
Findings: The proposed operation will involve mining more than 1,000 cubic 
yards of material, so this criterion applies. However, upon the approval of this application, this 
criterion will be met. 
Approval Criterion: S3.516 2. 
A permit for mining of aggregate shall be issued only for a site included on an 
inventory in an acknowledged Comprehensive Plan. 
Findings: This site is included on the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan 
Aggregate Site Inventory as a "Primary Use Subject to Conditional Use Approval." The 
Comprehensive Plan is acknowledged by the State Land Conservation and Development 
Commission. As part of this application, the site will be transferred to the County's significant 
sites inventory. This criterion is met. 
S3,517. Standards for Uses in the F-80, AF and EFU Zones in Areas of Major or 
Peripheral Big Game Range. 
Approval Criterion: Section S3.517(2). 
To ensure that future development does not unduly conflict with Peripheral Big 
Game Range, the County shall: 
(A) Conditional uses in the AF zone may be allowed only if they 
are found to be consistent with the maintenance of big game range; 
- 4 7 -
(B) Proposed Review and Conditional Use applications shall be 
submitted to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for their 
comments on consistency with Major Big Game habitat and 
recommendations on appropriate siting criteria to minimize any 
conflicts; and 
(C) All proposed Plan and zone changes of land zoned F-80, EFU 
or AF to a more intensive zone shall be submitted to the Oregon 
Department of Fish and Wildlife for a determination of possible 
conflicts with big game habitat requirements. If the Department 
identified conflicts, the County will consider recommendations for 
resolving these conflicts. 
Findings: The applicant's property is within the Peripheral Big Game Habitat. 
The approval of the conditional use on tax lot 101 in 1984 considered the impact on big game 
and concluded that the operation was compatible with the big game habitat. The operation 
proposed in this application will affect the AF-20 zoned portion of tax lot 1203, where associated 
operations will occur. However, quarry activities will still be consistent with maintenance of the 
peripheral big game range, as is more fully discussed in the findings for Statewide Goal 8 below. 
In light of the fact that the proposed activity is not materially different than the existing approved 
mining operation, me pr oposed additional operations will not change the current impacts on 
peripheral big game habitat and the use is not inconsistent with the maintenance of that habitat. 
No fences or dwelling to interfere with big game movement will be constructed. Big game 
currently traverses the quarry site and will continue to do so in the future. ODF&W input will be 
requested as part of this application. This criterion is met. 
S3.700. Geologic Hazard Requirements, 
Findings: Section 3.700 of the Clatsop County Standards Document provides 
detailed requirements for addressing potential geologic hazards. Among other things, the 
Standards Document requires a detailed site investigation for geologic hazard areas prepared by 
a registered geologist and addressing numerous standards including time spent investigating, 
topography and geology, site history and the relationship of soil and vegetation on the site. This 
standard requires a topographic map of the site with detail showing unusual features related to 
geology and geologic hazards. The provisions also require a subsurface analysis, stabilization 
program3 description of potential safeguards, related geologic hazards and information related to 
groundwater. (See Standards Document, S3.701 through S3.708.) As part of the geology report 
of Environmental Science Associates, a detailed geologic hazard analysis is provided for the site. 
The geologic report notes that the entire general area where the quarry is located is classified by 
DOGAMI as a geologic hazard area with potential slide areas enumerated as well. 
Applicant's geology report reflects that a registered geologist spent over 100 man 
hours in the quarry area and performing a significant amount of drilling through the geologic 
structure on the site. The registered geologist also reviewed aerial photographs, maps and the 
existing face of the Ordway Quarry. Based on all this information, the registered geologist 
- 4 8 -
provides a detailed review of the geology of the area and is able to eliminate concern with regard 
to geologic hazards and slides. It is the registered geologist's opinion that the steep slopes on 
portions of the site automatically generated the DOGAMI geologic hazard and slide overlays and 
that no individual from DOGAMI specifically reviewed the underlying geology for stability. 
The Registered Geologist's opinion is that the weathered and unweathered basalt underneath the 
site is stable and not subject to erosion, slide or geologic hazard. The Clatsop County 
Comprehensive Plan recognizes that mineral and aggregate resources are rare in the county and 
this is one of the rare areas with a stable geologic foundation that, notwithstanding steep slopes 
on portions of the site, is inconsistent with geologic hazards or slides. Accordingly, all of the 
criteria in S3.700 related to the geologic hazards are met by this application. 
S4.011. Approval Criterion: Standards for Area Protection Conditions. 
When the imposition of discretionary standards is authorized to avoid detrimental 
impacts to the public, the standards should be designed to: 
(1) Designate the size, number, location and nature of vehicle access 
points. 
(2) Increase the amount of street dedication, roadway width or 
improvements within the street right-of-way. 
(3) Protect vegetation, water resource, wildlife habitat or another 
significant natural resource, 
Findings: Conditions may be added to the PAPA approval to ensure that quarry 
activities meet the requirements for area protections. As indicated in the application narrative, 
Big River has designated an ODOT-approved access at the existing Big River access point at 
mile post 2.66. If average daily truck deliveries can be slightly increased, an option may be 
possible for a circular one-way haul truck route with an alternative exit at the existing 
Weyerhaeuser access at Vollmer Creek Road (mile post 2.26) or alternative exit at mile 
post 2.50. No additional street width dedication, roadway or improvements in street right-of-way 
are necessary given the ODOT-approved existing quarry access. Big River commits to take 
significant steps to protect vegetation, particularly in the buffer areas along Highway 26 and 
Vollmer Creek Road. The protection of this vegetation will ensure that water resources (e.g., the 
Necanicum River and Vollmer Creek) are protected. Vegetated areas on the site will be 
maintained, consistent with mining activities, to continue to provide corridor are as for wildlife 
habitat. In addition, Big River requests protection for the significant Goal 5 mineral and 
aggregate resource on the site. To the extent this criterion are approval criterion, they are met by 
the application. 
S4.-400. Rock and Mineral Resource Use. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401. 
Purpose. Development Standards-Extraction Area. A development plan shall be 
submitted to the County Planning Department for any activity allowed as a 
conditional use. The development plan shall provide the necessary documents, 
permits, and maps to demonstrate compliance with the following standards and 
requirements. 
- 4 9 -
Findings: The applicant has submitted, in this application narrative and the 
documents accompanying it, maps, site plans, and other documents sufficient to show that the 
applicable approval criteria for the proposed expansion of the existing approved mining 
operation are met. As indicated above, no conditional use is necessary or requested through this 
PAPA process. This criterion has been met. 
S4.401 (1). Screening and Fencing. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (1)(A). An earthen berm and buffer of existing or 
planted trees or vegetation shall be maintained to fully screen the view of any 
mineral and aggregate activity and all related equipment from any public road, 
public park, or residence within 1,000 feet. Where screening is shown to be 
impractical because of topography or other physical characteristics of the site, the 
screening requirements may be waived by the Community Development Director. 
Findings: The site is generally screened from Highway 26 and the residential 
areas to the east/north by trees along Highway 26. As part of the operational plan for the quarry, 
the quarry operations will be reoriented, As the quarry floor is lowered, this will allow the 
operator to use the existing contour of the land to screen uses to the east/northeast by retaining a 
lip of the mineral deposit. This will also allow for the retention of the existing vegetation on the 
undisturbed areas of the site. Because of the southeast orientation of past quarrying activities, it 
is not fully possible to screen the southeast comer of existing quarry operations from westbound 
traffic on Highway 26. The entrance to the property provides a break which allows passing cars 
to see the southeast corner of the existing quarry operation. There is a row of trees at the access 
(mile post 2.66) and this row of trees assists in screening the southeast comer but cannot 
completely hide quarry operations, As such, the physical characteristics of the site prevent it 
from being entirely screened from Highway 26. However, as the mining plan advances and 
orientation of the quarry is reset, future operations will begin to be screened by the contours of 
the retained rock lip on the east side of the expansion area. Retention of existing vegetation will 
maximize screening. This standard is met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (1) (B). Screening and Fencing. Sight obscuring 
fencing or approved barrier type shrubs shall be required to eliminate any safety 
hazards that use of the site may create. Fencing, if required, shall be sight 
obscuring and a minimum of six feet high. 
Findings: Because the operator owns buffer areas between Highway 26 and the 
quarry and there are significant Weyerhaeuser buffers to the west, fences will not be necessary. 
All the access points to the quarry are behind locked road gates. Fences are also incompatible 
with wildlife use. Based upon the above, no fencing is required and this criterion has been met. 
- 5 0 -
S4.401 (2). Access. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (2)(A). All private access roads from mineral and 
aggregate sites to public roads shall be paved or graveled. If graveled, the access 
road shall be graded and maintained as needed to minimize dust. 
Findings: All internal roads are graveled. The gravel portion of the access road 
is checked regularly and graded as appropriate to assure that it is adequately maintained as safe 
and convenient for vehicular use. During dry periods, the graveled roads are watered as needed 
to minimize dust leaving the site. This criterion has been met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (2)(B). [Improvement Fees] 
Findings: Traffic on the roads from mining activity will be insufficient to 
warrant offsite improvements. As indicated in the application, Big River will not increase its 
truck traffic from the site above the ODOT-approved access criteria. Accordingly, no 
improvements or fees will be necessary. To the extent this standard is applicable, it is met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (2)(C). Any internal road at a mineral and 
aggregate site within 250 feet of a Sensitive Use shall be paved or graveled, and 
shall be maintained at all times to reduce noise and dust in accordance with 
County or DEQ standards specified in the ESEE analysis. 
Findings: The access road, as it approaches Highway 26, is the only internal road 
within 250 feet of a sensitive use. Gravel roads on site are no closer than 300 feet from any 
residence. As discussed in these findings, the graveled portion of the access road will be 
maintained to reduce dust. In addition, the speed of the trucks on portion of the site will be 
limited to a maximum of 15 mph to reduce noise and dust. Because noise and dust are 
minimized under Goal 5, no ESEE initial conflict analysis is necessary. The existing quarry 
access is gated. This criterion has been met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (2) (D). An effective vehicular barrier or gate shall 
be required at all access points to the site. 
Findings: There is a gate across the existing access road. If the Vollmer Creek 
Road exit option is used, Vollmer Creek Road is gated. If the mile post 2,50 option is used, a 
gate will be constructed. This criterion is met. 
S4.401 (3). Hours of Operation. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (3)(A). Blasting shall be restricted to the hours of 
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. No blasting shall occur on Saturdays, 
Sundays, or any recognized legal holiday. 
- 51 -
Findings: The applicant has requested authorization to do controlled blasting. If 
it is allowed, the controlled blasting will be restricted to the specified hours. 24-hour notice will 
be provided to all neighbors before any controlled blast. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion. S4.401 (3)(B). Mineral and aggregate extraction, drilling, 
processing, and equipment operation located within 1,000 feet of a Sensitive Use 
is restricted to the hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 
5 p.m. Saturday. All other sites are limited to operating hours of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. 
Monday through Saturday. No operation shall occur on Sundays or recognized 
legal holidays. 
Findings: There are residences (Sensitive Uses) within 1,000 feet of the site. 
The applicant agrees to limit the hours of operation for the expanded use to the hours of 7 a.m. to 
6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays with no operations on Sundays 
or recognized legal holidays, This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (3) (C). An increase in operating time limits shall 
be granted for all activities except blasting if; 
1) There are no Sensitive Uses within 1,000 feet of the 
mining site; or if 
2) There are Sensitive Uses within 1,000 feet, the 
increased activity will not exceed noise standards 
established by the County or DEQ; and 
3) The operator shall notify the owners and occupants of 
all Sensitive Uses within 1,000 feet by first-class mail, 
which is mailed at least 96 hours prior to the date and 
approximate time of the activity for which the operator 
receives an exception. 
Findings: As indicated in the criterion above, applicant will comply with general 
hours of operation restrictions contained in the Clatsop County Standards Document at 
Section S4.401 (3)(B). This particular criteria anticipates that there may be emergency situations 
or special situations that arise (e.g., night-time roadwork, around-the-clock emergency response 
for flood 03" hazard situations) that might give rise to a special need for extended hours. As 
indicated in the noise study of Daly-Standlee, the proposed operations at the Ordway Quarry will 
meet all DEQ standards at all residences in the area. If Big River were called upon to participate 
in emergency response operations or other special situations that required an extension of hours 
of operation, Big River would follow the provisions of this section. This criterion is not 
applicable to this application and if special situations were to arise, this section can and would be 
met by Big River. Accordingly, to the extent this standard applies, it is met. 
- 5 2 -
S4.401 (4). Environmental Standards. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (4)(A). DEQ Standards. Mineral and aggregate 
extraction, processing and other operations shall conform to all applicable 
environmental standards of the County and State. Any crusher, asphalt, concrete, 
ready-mix, or other machinery shall submit an approved DEQ permit(s) at the 
time of development plan application. 
Findings: We incorporate our findings under Goal 6 by reference herein. The 
applicant has an existing storm water permit and DOGAMI permit. The applicant will use its 
own crusher or will contract with a crusher operator when crushing is needed. The appropriate 
DEQ air quality permit for the crusher will be in place at all times. Asphalt and concrete plants 
are not requested. This criterion is met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (4)(B). DOGAMI Standards. Mineral and 
aggregate extraction, processing, other operations and site reclamation shall 
conform to the requirements of the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries 
(DOGAMI). 
Findings: The applicant has a valid DOGAMI permit for the existing operation. 
The applicant has advised DOGAMI of its intent to expand the operation, and DOGAMI has 
stated that the current permit will have to be amended to mine in the expanded area after County 
approval has been obtained. DOGAMI has not identified any reason why an amendment to 
expand the mining area would not be granted. Subject to a condition of approval that requires 
the applicant to obtain a DOGAMI permit for the expansion before beginning operation in the 
expanded area requested by this application, this criterion has been met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (4)(C), Permits Required. Mining shall not 
commence until all applicable State and Federal permits, if any, are provided to 
the County. 
Findings: Applicant will have all necessary permits before operations on the 
expanded area commence. As indicated above, applicant will apply to revise its DOGAMI 
permit after County land use approval is final. This criterion has been or will be met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (5). Equipment Removal. All surface mining 
equipment, machinery, vehicles, buildings, man-made debris, and other material 
related to the mineral and aggregate activity shall be removed from the site within 
30 days of completion of all mining, processing, and reclamation, except for 
structures which are permitted uses in the underlying zone. 
Findings: This standard is not yet applicable. The mining of this site will 
continue many more years. When mining does cease, applicant will comply with this 
requirement. If appropriate, a condition of approval can be added to the decision on this 
application to require this. DOGAMI also requires equipment removal as part of reclamation. 
This criterion can and will be met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (6)(A). The operator of a mineral and aggregate 
site shall provide the County with annual notification of DOGAMI permits. 
Findings: The applicant will provide the County with annual notification of 
DOGAMI permits as it has in the past. A condition of approval can be added to the decision on 
this application to require this. This criterion can and will be met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (6)(B). Mineral and aggregate operations shall be 
insured for $500,000 against liability and toit arising from production activities or 
operations incidental thereto conducted or carried on by virtue of any law, 
ordinance or condition, and such insurance shall be kept in full force and effect 
during the period of such operations, A prepaid policy of such insurance which is 
effective for a period of one year shall be deposited with the County prior to 
commencing any mineral and aggregate operations. The owner or operator shall 
annually provide the County with evidence that the policy has been renewed. 
Findings: Insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per incident and $2,000,000 
total is currently maintained by the applicant, and will continue to be maintained. The County 
will be provided evidence of this insurance on an annual basis. A condition of approval can be 
added to the decision on this application to require this. This criterion can and will be met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (7). Significant Resource Area Protection. 
Conflicts between inventoried mineral and aggregate resource sites and 
significant fish and wildlife habitat, riparian areas and wetlands, and ecologically 
and scientifically significant natural areas and scenic areas protected by Clatsop 
Plains Community Plan or other provision of the County Comprehensive Plan, 
shall be addressed in the application and findings for the conditional use. 
Findings: The area is not located in the Clatsop Plains. There are no protected 
and identified riparian areas, wetlands, ecologically and scientifically significant natural areas or 
scenic areas in the vicinity of this application. The Necanicum River has significant fish and 
wildlife habitat. The quarry is classified as peripheral big game habitat. As we discussed in this 
application narrative and the findings herein, fish habitat in the Necanicum River is fully 
protected by a significant buffer, and all quarry activities will be conducted on the opposite side 
of Highway 26 from the Necanicum River. In addition, Big River will maintain setbacks on the 
east side of Highway 26 to ensure there are no effects on the Necanicum River. The existing 
quarry operations are ongoing and do not have an adverse effect on big game habitat in the area. 
Elk regularly traverse the quarry. Expanded quarry operations will have no effect on the 
peripheral game habitat. These issues have been addressed in the application and the findings 
related to this criterion in the application document. To the extent that this criterion has a 
substantive approval criterion, it can and will be met by the application. 
- 5 4 -
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (8). Site Reclamation. A reclamation plan shall be 
submitted concurrently with the development plan required in Section 4.418. The 
reclamation plan shall include a schedule showing the planned order and sequence 
of reclamation, shall assure that the site will be restored or rehabilitated for the 
land uses anticipated after the quairy operation, and shall meet DOGAMI 
requirements. 
Findings: Applicant's proposed preliminary reclamation plan narrative is 
attached as part of this application. In Clatsop County, reclamation is under the exclusive 
control of DOGAMI. Pursuant to the requirements of the County land use planning documents, 
DOGAMI .may not consider its reclamation permit application until after the County has made a 
final land use decision. As such, we have provided a preliminary reclamation plan with 
conceptual ideas on how reclamation will occur. A final reclamation plan will be submitted to 
DOGAMI for its approval. DOGAMI will bond the site to ensure that reclamation will occur. 
Big River may not proceed on the expansion area until a DOGAMI permit is obtained, and a 
condition to this effect is requested. This standard is met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (9)(A). Surface water shall be managed in a 
manner that meets all applicable DEQ, DOGAMI, and ODFW water quality 
standards. Approval may be conditioned upon meeting such standards by a 
specified date. Discharge across public roads shall be prohibited. Existing 
natural drainages on the site shall not be changed in a manner which substantially 
interferes with drainage patterns on adjoining property, or which drains waste 
materials or waste water onto adjoining property or perennial streams. Where the 
mineral and aggregate operation abuts a lake, river, or perennial stream, all 
existing vegetation within 100 feet of the mean high water mark shall be retained 
unless otherwise authorized in accordance with the ESEE analysis and the 
development plan. 
Findings: The applicant has an approved storm water permit for its existing 
operation, and will amend that permit as needed for the expanded operation. DOGAMI 
coordinates with DEQ on the issuance of that permit. A condition of approval can be added to 
the decision on this application to require that any permit amendment needed for the expanded 
activity be obtained as required by the permitting agency at the time the DOGAMI reclamation 
permit is requested. The applicant's expanded activity will not discharge any surface water 
across public roads. All water will be handled onsite, with any excess run-off from the mined 
area directed into the quarry floor area or supplemental to settlement ponds, The extraction 
operations do not abut any lake, river or perennial stream, but vegetation buffers will be 
preserved onsite around the extraction area. The existing natural drainage will not be changed in 
a manner that affects other property or drains waste material into other properties or perennial 
streams. This criterion can and will be met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (9)(B). All water required for the mineral and 
aggregate operation, including dust control, landscaping and processing of 
material, shall be legally available and appropriated for such use. The applicant 
- 5 5 -
shall provide written documentation of water rights from the State Department of 
Water Resources and/or local water district prior to any site operation. 
Findings: Big River has analyzed its need for water on the site for all purposes, 
including dust suppression. Because of the small size of the site and because of the relatively 
small volume of material generated at the site, our average water usage over the years has been 
significantly less than 5,000 gallons per day on an annual average. Because of the relatively 
small size of the operation, Big River has easily met all water requirements for dust control and 
other uses on the site through the use of a water truck which obtains water from commercially 
available sources. Big River will continue this aspect of its operation. However, if required, Big 
River may obtain sufficient water for its entire operation (up to 5,000 gallons per day) through an 
onsite exempt use well. Oregon statute (ORS 537.545(1 )(f)) provides that a registration, 
certificate of registration, appli cation for a permit, permit, certificate of completion or 
groundwater rights certificate is not required for the use of groundwater for any single industrial 
or commercial purpose in an amount not to exceed 5,000 gallons per day. This exemption is 
available and allows Big River, without a permit from the Water Resources Department, to drill 
a well and provide onsite water in sufficient quantities to meet all dust control and operational 
purposes. Accordingly, this standard is met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.401 (10). Floodplain. Any quarry operation located 
wholly or in part in a Special Flood Hazard Area is shown on the Federal 
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) shall receive approval in accordance with 
Section 4.000 of this Ordinance prior to any site operation. 
Findings: As indicated in this narrative, the County's flood maps indicate that 
there are small portions of Big River's property to the immediate west of Highway 26 that are 
considered to be within the flood plain. However, these areas are not within the quarry 
operational area. Big River has deliberately planned its operation to ensure that any of the flood 
plain areas are in a setback and that quarry and mining operations will not occur in a flood plain 
area. Section 4000 of the LWDUO primarily relates to residential or commercial construction in 
the flood plain. (See General Standards Section 4.028.) There will be no subdivision or 
residential building anywhere in the flood plain and, therefore, there is no requirement to 
consider foundation protections, flood elevation restrictions, anchoring of manufactured homes 
or the provisions of Section 4000 of the LWDUO. The Ordway Quarry is not in a coastal 
high-hazard area. Accordingly, this standard, to the extent it is applicable, is met. 
Approval Criterion: S4.500. Protection of Riparian Vegetation. 
Findings: The standards development document, S4.501 and S.4.504 provide 
general guidelines and specific development standards for protection of riparian vegetation. In 
general, lakes, reservoirs and river segments outside the estuarine or coastal shoreline areas 
require a 50-foot wide riparian vegetation zone. Wetlands receive the same treatment under the 
standards document. Development standards include locating all structures outside the riparian 
zone and standards on how to maintain riparian vegetation. The provisions specifically do not 
apply to actions covered by the Oregon Forest Practices Act. As indicated in the application 
- 5 6 -
document, the main riparian zones in the area are separated from the site by significant roads. 
The Necanicum River to the north and east is separated from the site by Highway 26 and 
significant buffers on both the westerly and easterly sides of Highway 26. Vollmer Creek is 
separated from the site by Vollmer Creek Road and, again, there are significant buffer zones on 
both the westerly and easterly sides of Vollmer Creek Road. As indicated on the site plan map, 
the actual extraction area is elevated on a hillside and is separated entirely from any water 
course, riparian areas, or other water feature by significant vegetative buffers. To the extent that 
these criteria are applicable, they are met by the proposed application. 
Approval Criterion: Chapter 5, Vehicle Access Control and 
Circulation. S5.030 through S5.041 provide the County's general 
guidance and standards for vehicle access control and circulation, 
as well as for pedestrian and bicycle access and circulation. 
Findings: These standards are generally directed to residential uses and 
residential developments, such as subdivisions, which are not involved in this land use 
application. Access from the site will be directly to a state highway and ODOT has sole 
jurisdiction over all the proposed access points in the application per the County's Transportation 
System Plan. As indicated in the materials in the traffic study, the quarry has ODOT-approved 
access and will operate within the parameters of this approved access. To the extent that the 
County's access and pedestrian standards are applicable, they are met by the proposed 
application. As indicated in the application, pedestrian and bicycle access are inconsistent with 
ongoing quarry operations due to safety concerns, but the quarry will have no effect on the 
ability to address pedestrian and bicycle issues along Highway 26 in the future. To the extent 
these standards are applicable, they are met. 
Approval Criterion: Chapter 6. Road Standard Specifications 
for Design and Construction. 
Findings: Chapter 6 of the County's Standards Document discusses road 
standards and specifications for design and construction of roads, These road standards are 
heavily weighted to subdivision developments and new developments when new roads or access 
points are created to ensure there is safe access, that the roads can provide access for residential 
services and to provide guidelines for proper improvements. In addition, the standards seek to 
minimize, within constraints of reasonable engineering practices and costs, the creation of roads 
and lands within forest resource areas designated by the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan. 
The application for the Ordway Quarry provides no subdivision or any type of land partition or 
urban, commercial or residential development. Even if ODOT allows the alternative one-way 
circular haul truck option, no new roads will need to be constructed to serve the quarry 
operations. Existing private (locked and gated) forest roads and existing access points to 
Highway 26 will be used. ODOT has direct jurisdiction over the access points to Highway 26 
and Big River (and/or Weyerhaeuser if the alternative is an option) will retain jurisdiction over 
the private road network. As discussed elsewhere in the application, the roads will be graveled 
and maintained to allow efficient operation and reduce impacts such as noise and dust. In the 
event the alternative access point at mile post 2.50 is used, a connecting road will be a dedicated 
- 5 7 -
private road designed to accommodate one-way heavy truck traffic and minimize erosion. Using 
the existing access as proposed, or under either access alternative, the road system serving the 
Ordway Quarry will be capable of providing unrestricted travel to and from the property, provide 
safe, adequate and legal access, ample and adequate access for fire protection, and other 
emergency services such as ambulance and police, as well as nonemergency services such as 
mail and garbage services. There will be no school buses or public transportation allowed on the 
site. To the extent they are applicable, these standards are met by the proposed application. 
Applicable Criterion: Chapter 7. State and Federal 
Requirements Section. 
Findings: The Clatsop County Standards Document refers to a number of state 
and federal requirements which may have general applicability through general County policy 
guidelines. Some of the policy guidelines are clearly not applicable to the project (e.g., 
agriculture, policy, 20.1, # 3, estuarine construction, policy 20.8, # 5, minimum stream flows for 
fish and wildlife habitat, shallow-draft ports and marinas, aquaculture standards, industrial ports 
and facilities, log dump sort and storage, navigational structures, residential uses, solid waste 
disposal, utilities, dike structures, dredging-related policies, and shoreline stabilization). Other 
aspirational policies have peripheral impact and require a brief explanation. The Riparian 
Environment policy (policy 20,10, #6) states that through a number of federal and state laws and 
entities, riparian environments are to be protected from development pressure. As indicated in 
the application, all riparian areas will be protected by significant setbacks that are vegetated. 
The forest and forest products industry standards (policy 20,12, # 3) are specifically related to 
water quality and habitat related restoration from logging practices. Although timber will be 
removed from the site prior to excavation on the site (as described more fully herein on a phased 
basis), there will generally not be any forest practices directly associated with the mining and 
none of the mining activities will affect any water quality or stream habitat issues. There are no 
identified significant natural areas or significant scientific or historical, cultural or archaeological 
resources on the site. The resource that will be extracted is a weathered and hardened basalt and 
current activities have indicated no special significant attributes related to any of these factors 
related to the policies in this section. Water quality maintenance standards (policy 20.12, #1) 
address non-point pollutant discharges. The only identified pollutant discharge that is possible 
from the site, as indicated in the application, is erosion and sedimentation runoff This will be 
controlled by internal sloping in the quarry proper or by onsite sedimentation basics, as 
necessary. In addition, there are vegetated buffers that surround the site to prevent 
sedimentation. The mining/mineral extraction provisions in this section are primarily oil and gas 
related and are not applicable. None of these Chapter 7 policies are affirmative approval policies 
and none of them apply to the proposed application. 
CONCLUSION. 
As demonstrated by the above application narrative and the accompanying 
submissions by the applicant, all relevant criteria of the County Comprehensive Plan LWDUO 
and Standards Document are met and the applicant requests approval of the application.

STATEWIDE PLANNING GOALS 
As part of the Goal 5 analysis and Comprehensive Plan amendment process, the 
applicability and requirements of the 19 statewide planning goals must be assessed. Discussion 
of the statewide planning goals has two purposes. First, goals must be addressed when a 
Comprehensive Plan change is requested. We are requesting the addition of the Big River and 
Weyerhaeuser property to the County's significant sites inventory in the Comprehensive Plan, 
and we must address the goals. Second, as an independent part of the Goal 5 process, statewide 
planning goals must be taken into consideration. 
Statewide Goal 1 
Goal 1 requires the development of a citizen involvement program that ensures 
the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. 
Findings: The Clatsop County Land and Water Development and Use Ordinance 
and Comprehensive Plan provides specific mechanisms for notice and citizen involvement both 
on a group and individual basis. This particular application will require hearings before the 
Clatsop County Planning Commission and the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners. Such 
hearings will be announced to the public with appropriate notice to citizens, agencies, neighbors 
arid oilier interested parties. The County's procedures in evaluating Big River's PAPA request 
will provide ample opportunity for citizen involvement in all phases of this application and will 
ensure compliance with Statewide Goal 1. 
Statewide Goal 2 
Goal 2 requires the land use planning process and framework be established as the 
basis for all decisions and actions related to use of the land and also requires that there be an 
adequate factual basis for decisions and actions in the land use planning process. 
Findings: The Goal 5 administrative rule provides the process and policy 
framework for post-acknowledgment plan amendments for the consideration of mineral and 
aggregate land use applications. The requirements of Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 616, 
Division 23 control the process and provide detailed guidelines for decision making. The 
Oregon Administrative Rules ensure that there will be detailed information placed in the record 
and evaluated as part of the PAPA process. The Goal 5 Administrative Rule provides Clatsop 
County with an established land use planning process as the basis for its decision. That process 
ensures full collection of information, the opportunity to be heard by all parties and interested 
persons, and a mechanism for evaluating the evidence and determining the significance of the 
mineral and aggregate resource and the level of protection it will be afforded. Because the 
proposed mineral and aggregate use is consistent with agricultural-forestry lands and the 
underlying zoning will not change, an exception under Statewide Goal 2 is not required. Clatsop 
County's process meets all of the requirements of Statewide Goal 2 related to planning processes 
and policy frameworks. 
- 5 9 -
Statewide Goal 3 
The purpose of Goal 3 is to preserve and maintain agricultural lands. 
Findings: The zoning on the site and surrounding areas does not contain an EFU 
agricultural exclusive zone. Much of the zoning on the Weyerhaeuser property is F-80 forest and 
the other zoning is AF (agricultural forestry) and RA (residential agriculture), which are not EFU 
zones under the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan. In addition, we have reviewed uses in the 
area to determine if there are any ongoing farming activities. There are some small individually 
owned fruit trees and berries growing in individual house gardens in the general area. These are 
uses incident to rural residential activity and not farm uses. If they were considered farm uses, 
standard farming practices would be planting, watering, spraying with insecticides and 
harvesting, There is a possibility of small pasture uses which include farm uses such as grazing, 
mowing and potentially irrigation and fertilizing. In addition, there is one residence with horses 
in the southeast. We believe that this is incidental to rural residential use but if it were to be 
considered to be an agricultural use, agricultural practices related to this use would be grazing, 
feeding, exercising the horses, foaling and removal of manure. 
The predominant use in this area of Clatsop County is forestry uses. All of the 
Weyerhaeuser land to the west, north and south of the existing Big River property is dedicated 
ongoing commercial forestry. Aerial photographs show that the general area has been logged. 
The site on which the Ordway Quarry expansion will occur is stocked with trees that are 25 and 
50 years old, as a result of prior logging and replanting. Both the AF and the RA zone in Clatsop 
County encourage ongoing forestry. The extraction activities requested by Big River are allowed 
(conditional uses) in the F80, AF and RA zones in Clatsop County. 
Big River has provided evidence that the area proposed for the mineral and 
aggregate extraction activity contains more than 2 million tons of high-quality mineral and 
aggregate material and meets ODOT specifications for base rock. The evidence also 
demonstrates a thickness layer of aggregate material that exceeds 60 feet. The actual extraction 
area contains no Class I, Class II or unique soil types, as classified by the National Soil 
Conservation Service. Accordingly, the extraction site requested by Big River qualifies as 
"significant" under the Goal 5 rule. Big River requests that it be placed on the County's 
inventory of significant mineral and aggregate sites and that is appropriate given the significant 
nature of the Ordway Quarry resource and the overall scarcity of quality mineral and aggregate 
sites in Clatsop County. Oregon case law provides that an applicant can concurrently request the 
listing of a property on the significant mineral and aggregate inventoiy, and at the same time, 
seek approval for mining operations on the same property. 
With regard to Goal 3 and its application to this particular project, ORS 215.296 
sets the appropriate standards for approval of mineral and aggregate uses and Exclusive Farm 
Use (EFU) zones. As indicated above, the F80, AF and RA zones are not EFU zones but to the 
extent that Goal 3 considerations might be deemed applicable, we will address provisions of 
ORS 215.296. This particular statutory provision provides that local government may designate 
and approve a request for mineral and aggregate operations if the proposed use will not force a 
- 6 0 -
significant change in accepted farm or forest practices on surrounded land devoted to farm or 
forest use, nor significantly increase the cost of accepted farm or forest practices on surrounding 
lands devoted to farm or forest use Forestry uses in the area include timber propagation and 
harvest, habitat protection and mining of mineral aggregate resources. Forestry practices 
associated with these forest uses include select harvesting, clear-cutting, replanting, fertilizing, 
herbicide application, thinning, road building, set-backs (for stream sites and habitat areas), 
blasting, crushing, heavy equipment operation, truck hauling and raw material distribution. 
Through the years, Big River and predecessors at the Ordway Quarry, have operated the site in 
the manner that does not adversely affect in any significant way farm or forestry practices on its 
surrounding lands. Operations have controlled dust, storm water run-off and noise within DEQ 
standards. Existing and approved ODOT access ensures that there is no adverse effect on farm 
or forest traffic. In addition, mineral extraction activities are forestry practices in and of 
themselves in Clatsop County as rock is necessary to construct forest roads. The compatibility of 
mineral extraction uses with accepted forestry uses and practices, the minimal nature of farm 
uses in the area and the overall compatibility of the mineral and aggregate extraction activities to 
accepted farming practices demonstrate that the requested mineral and aggregate extraction 
activities from this application will not adversely affect nor force a significant change in 
accepted farm or forest practices on surrounding land nor significantly increase the cost of 
accepted farm or forest practices on surrounding land. 
We also point out that once the mineral and aggregate resources are extracted, the 
property will be reclaimed consistent with the forestry nature of the area. Overburden will be 
reserved for this purpose and will be sufficient to allow the regrowth of vegetation, The length 
of time of mineral and aggregate extraction will be dependent on market forces, but it is clear 
that mineral and aggregate use is not, and cannot be, a permanent use. Mineral and aggregate 
extraction by its very nature is extractive and consumptive and cannot continue indefinitely on a 
single parcel of land. Recognizing this, Big River has proposed to reclaim the property for 
forestry uses (including, necessarily, forest-related habitat uses) that are specifically allowed and 
encouraged in both farm and forest zones within the State of Oregon. Big River will continue to 
stockpile and use overburden as part of the reclamation process. Goal 3 is fully met with the 
proposed use set out in this PAPA application. 
Statewide Goal 4 
Goal 4 directs the conservation and maintenance of the State's forest land base 
and the State's forest economy and provides for conservation of forest land to make 
economically efficient forest practices possible, to ensure that growing and harvesting of tree 
species is the leading use on land consistent with management of soil, water, air and wildlife 
resources, and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture. 
Findings: As indicated in the discussion of statewide Goal 3 above, mineral and 
aggregate extraction uses and their associated practices including, blasting, extraction, crushing, 
processing, stockpiling, transportation and distribution to points of use, are normal and accepted 
forest practices in Clatsop County. The proposed use directly contributes the conservation and 
maintenance of the state's forest land base by providing rock that is available for forestry and 
- 6 1 -
other uses. The rock resource on forest lands also allows forestry owners to achieve a reasonable 
rate of return on resources located on their forestry land. Big River will continue to manage and 
save overburden for reclamation purposes, will manage water to ensure water quality, and 
control dust with use of a water truck in compliance with DEQ permits. Big River will not fence 
or otherwise restrict wildlife access across the property. Because the proposed use is a basic 
forest use and external effects of the use will be minimized, the proposed use is consistent and 
meets the requirements of Goal 4 
Statewide Goal 5 
Goal 5 requires the protection of natural resources and the conservation of scenic 
areas, historic resources and open spaces. 
Findings: Mineral and aggregate resources are a listed Goal 5 resource and the 
Goal 5 rule (OAR 660, Division 23) provides a comprehensive mechanism for analyzing the 
significance of mineral and aggregate resources, listing the mineral and aggregate resources on 
the appropriate Clatsop County inventoiy, identifying an impact area for the mineral and 
aggregate resources, identifying conflicts with the Goal 5 mineral and aggregate resources, 
identifying strategies to minimize any conflicts associated with mineral and aggregate resources, 
and ultimately protecting the resource under Goal 5, Goal 5 applies to resources other than 
mineral and aggregate resources, but the Ordway Quarry extraction area contains none of the 
12 potential resources that can be identified or inventoried under Goal 5. We note that the 
Necanicum River to the east-northeast is a significant Goal 5 resource, but the river resource is 
buffered from the Ordway property by Highway 26 and residential uses to the northeast. In 
addition, the Clatsop County background document indicates that peripheral elk habitat parallels 
Highway 26. Quarry operations are ongoing on the site and, over the years, have not adversely 
affected elk in the area. Elk traverse on the site and operations will not add any fences or 
additional barriers to big game usage of the quarry site. 
As demonstrated by the evidence submitted with the application, there is 
sufficient information with regard to the location, quality and quantity of mineral and aggregate 
resource at the Ordway Quarry to determine that it is a significant resource. We have also 
provided received substantial evidence to demonstrate that any potential adverse conflicts that 
might be presented by extraction of the mineral and aggregate resource on the Ordway property 
can be minimized as required by the Goal 5 rule. Accordingly, the record supports a decision 
listing the Ordway property as a significant Goal 5 mineral and aggregate resource, 
establishment of an impact area no greater than 1,500 feet, and approval of the full mineral and 
aggregate extraction that is requested on the site. Goal 5 is met. 
Statewide Goal 6 
Statewide planning Goal 6 seeks to maintain and improve the quality of air, water 
and land resources of the state. 
- 62-
Findings: With regard to air quality, Big River will continue to maintain its 
crushing unit, screening and processing operations in compliance with the appropriate DEQ air 
quality permit, In addition, portions of access and exit areas have already been paved or 
graveled to reduce dust and track-out. Truck speeds will continue to be limited and a water truck 
will continue to be available to water internal truck paths to reduce, mitigate and eliminate dust 
associated with mineral and aggregate operations. We are requesting a condition of approval 
that requires continuance of these housekeeping procedures to minimize, mitigate and eliminate 
dust from operations at the Ordway Quarry. We note that on an average annual basis, 
approximately 5,000 gallons of water per day is necessary for control of dust on the Ordway site. 
This amount has been determined to be adequate by Big River over the years at its ongoing 
operations at the site and Big River believes there will be no need for additional water for dust 
suppression at the site. Big River has two ways to obtain the necessary for dust suppression on 
the site in an uninterrupted fashion. First, we may install an onsite exempt commercial/industrial 
well that is allowed to take 5,000 gallons per day (see ORS 537.545(l)(f)). No permit is needed 
for this exempt use. Second, we may continue to truck water in, as necessary, from available 
commercial water sources in the area for dust control puiposes, Each of these water sources is 
technically possible and permissible within the bounds of the statutory mechanism that controls 
water use in the State of Oregon. 
With regard to protecting the quality of water resources, there are two issues: 
water quality and water quantity. With regard to water quality, Big River will continue to handle 
all storm water drainage onsite. Our DOGAMI/DEQ permit will be updated to include the 
expanded operations at the site. This will ensure that no water quality problems will arise related 
to surface water issues. 
With regard to water quantity and groundwater, the analysis of our geologist is 
that the mineral extraction on the site is above the ground water table and our activities will not 
have any adverse effect on the ground water in the area. In addition, we note that it is possible, 
as part of ongoing operations, to fracture the floor of the quarry to assist in groundwater recharge 
if such activity is deemed beneficial by DOGAMI. Finally, we have additional room for storage 
ponds to control storm water which will allow storm water to infiltrate at a natural pace into the 
groundwater system just like any other rain water in the natural environment. Ongoing operation 
of the site will ensure that the quality of water resources in the State 
With regard to noise, Big River has carefully analyzed noise with regard to the 
quarry operations, Based on the recommendations of Daly-Standlee & Associates (noise 
engineers), natural berms will be strategically maintained around the contour of the exterior on 
the east and north sides of the property. Other steps, as necessary, will be taken to ensure 
compliance with DEQ standards. Compliance with DEQ standards will ensure that noise from 
extraction operations on the property is minimized. Compliance with noise standards will ensure 
that the noise environment will be maintained or improved through consistency with state 
regulations and statutes. 
With regard to the land resources of the state, Big River has agreed, and requested 
a condition of approval, to obtain a DOGAMI reclamation permit that will guide reclamation of 
- 63 -
the property to the forestry/habitat uses which we have requested for a final identified use. The 
forestry/habitat use is consistent with the overall land uses in the general vicinity and with the 
continuing F-80, AF and RA zone designations on the property. Compliance with DOGAMI 
reclamation standards and guidelines will maintain and improve the land resources of the state. 
Compliance with applicable DEQ/DOGAMI standards, together with compliance 
with the requested conditions of approval, will ensure that discharges from the site, if any, will 
not exceed the carrying capacity of resources in the area considering long range needs, will not, 
within allowable regulatory and statutory standards, degrade air, water or land resources nor 
threaten the availability of any such resources for other uses in the area. For these reasons, the 
proposed PAPA application meets the requirements of statewide land use planning Goal 6. 
Statewide Goal 7 
Goal 7 requires that life and property be protected from natural hazards. 
Findings: Portions of the property are mapped by Clatsop County with a 
geologic hazard overlay and a DOGAMI slide area overlay. We note that much of the mapped 
DOGAMI slide area is generally on the northern portions of the property which will be preserved 
as part of the natural buffer and not be mined. We further note that the applicant's geologist has 
indicated that the site may be safely and appropriately mined, notwithstanding the geologic 
hazard overlay in particular because of the stability of the high-quality of the basalt material that 
underlies the site. The geologist further indicates that overburden will be saved for reclamation 
purposes and managed in stable stockpiles that are erosion-controlled. Finally, we point out that 
activities at the Ordway Quarry may not occur without a DOGAMI permit. In the DOGAMI 
permitting process, slides and geology hazards will be completely and fully addressed and 
conditions will be put into place to ensure stability of the site. 
County flood maps indicate that there is a small portion of tax lots 900 and 1000 
that may be in the Necanicum flood plain, notwithstanding that they are to the west of 
Highway 26. No extraction or pro cess-related operations will be conducted in these flood prone 
areas. We believe that the PAPA application for the Ordway property is in full compliance of 
Goal 7 and nothing in the application will adversely affect life or property with regard to natural 
disasters or hazards. Accordingly, the proposed use protects life and property from natural 
hazards and Goal 7 is met. 
Statewide Goal 8 
Goal 8 requires that the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors 
be satisfied and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities, 
including destination resorts. 
Findings: There are no destination resorts located or proposed for the area. The 
main recreational asset in the area is the Necanicum River to the east of the existing Ordway 
Quarry. The Necanicum River is separated from the site by Highway 26 and multiple 
- 6 4 -
residences. In addition, on the east side of the site, there are many flat vegetated areas that serve 
as a buffer zone between activities on the Ordway Quarry site and the river. The activities on the 
site will not have any effect on the use of the Necanicum River for recreation puiposes. In 
addition, there is peripheral elk habitat along Highway 26 in the area of the site. Activities on 
the site will not restrict the travel or migration patterns of elk and other big game that use the 
property and will continue to use the property in the future. No residences will be built. As the 
requested activities continue to protect the Necanicum River and peripheral big game habitat, the 
requirements of Goal 8 are satisfied 
Statewide Goal 9 
Goal 9 requires that adequate opportunities throughout the state be provided for a 
variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare and prosperity of the state's citizens. 
Findings: Mineral and aggregate resources are generally scarce and the quality 
rock resources found at the Ordway property are needed in Clatsop County to help with 
construction, infrastructure development and economic growth. Mineral and aggregate resources 
are an essential building block for the county and state economies. Rock is necessary for 
infrastructure projects (streets, roads, sewers, etc.) and is an essential construction material for 
the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Rock is required for all types of building 
activities and rock is incorporated into construction through concrete, base materials, asphalt 
roads, rip rap and in many other ways. Rock products are essential to the healthy and growing 
economy in the county and state, and protection of high quality mineral and aggregate resources 
has a significantly positive effect on the state economy. Preservation of future reserves on the 
Ordway property will help maintain Big River's payroll in Clatsop County and provide a stable 
supply of rock for future use in the county and state. Failure to preserve good quality rock sites 
that are favorably situated close to the market area may ultimately lead to higher prices and 
undependable levels of supply. This can directly, or indirectly, increase the costs of roads in the 
county, the affordability of homes in the county, and even the amount of tax revenue that must 
be used for road construction and repair materials. Approval of the Ordway property will 
provide a dependable source to serve Clatsop County with quality rock materials that are 
important to the county's economic well being. This PAPA application directly supports the 
requirements of Goal 9 and Goal 9 strongly supports inclusion of the site on the significant 
inventoiy and approval operations on the Ordway Quarry. 
Statewide Goal 10 
Goal 10 requires provision of the housing needs for the citizens of the state. 
Findings: Goal 10 generally guides buildable land determinations and housing 
assistance determinations which are not relevant in this Goal 5 proceeding. However, mineral 
and aggregate resources are a critical component for providing for the housing needs for the 
citizens of the state in that mineral and aggregate resources are a fundamental building block for 
houses and infrastructure, including concrete sidewalks, asphalt streets and general housing 
construction. Preservation and protection of the Ordway property will provide a necessary basic 
- 65 -
resource that assists in providing for the housing needs of the citizens of the county and state. 
Goal 10, to the extent that it applies to this application, is met. 
Statewide Goal 11 
Goal 11 requires planning, development and an orderly and efficient arrangement 
for public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. 
Findings: Goal 11 generally provides that the county should plan and develop 
public facilities frameworks for urban and rural development. The use we have requested, 
mineral and aggregate extraction, does not require a significant level of public services and we 
do not believe that Goal 11 directly applies in this matter. However, we wish to make it clear 
that mineral and aggregate extraction is a rural use. It is locationally specific and rock extraction 
must occur where the resource is located. In Clatsop County, available rock resources are rare 
and are predominantly found in rural areas. While some of the mineral and aggregate material 
from the sites may be used within the urban area, the fact that some material may ultimately be 
used inside the urban growth boundary does not, in and of itself, define whether an activity is 
urban or rural in nature. For example, agriculture is a rural land use even though most food is 
consumed by urban residents. Because rock resources in the county are predominantly located 
outside urban areas, we believe it is appropriate for the proposed use to be described as a rural 
development. No significant public services are necessary to allow the rural mineral and 
aggregate use on the Ordway property. First, electrical power is currently available to the 
Ordway operations. Second, adequate water is available from an onsite well or from offsite 
sources. Third, sanitary facilities will be provided by porta-potties onsite and there is no need for 
any kind of sewage or other sanitary infrastructure. Fourth, the operation is currently served by 
an approved access onto Flighway 26 which provides ample capacity and allows truck 
movements in and out of Big River's operations. Fifth, no residential uses are contemplated or 
allowed in Big River's mineral and aggregate operation and there will be no adverse effect on 
schools or'other types of facilities that might accompany residential-type development. There is 
an adequate level of services and facilities to currently serve the proposed use and to serve the 
use in the future without the need to extend any type of services to the Ordway property. 
Accordingly, to the extent Goal 11 is applicable, it is satisfied by the proposed use. 
Statewide Goal 12 
Goal 12 requires the County to encourage a safe, convenient and economic 
transportation system. 
Findings: As an initial matter, aggregate materials are key raw materials that are 
necessary to build transportation facilities, such as roads, railroads, airports, sidewalks and 
bikeways. Protection of adequate supplies of mineral and aggregate resources significantly 
advances the county's ability, and the state's ability, to have raw materials available for 
construction and repair of these types of multi-modal transportation systems. 
- 6 6 -
Goal 12 is implemented by the transportation planning rule (OAR 660-012-0000). 
The transportation planning rule provides that amendments to comprehensive plans, which 
"significantly affect" a transportation facility, shall assure that all allowed uses are consistent 
with the identified function, capacity and performance standards of the facility. The 
transportation planning rule defines when a plan amendment or land use regulation amendment 
"significantly affects" a transportation facility. This occurs if: (a) the amendment changes the 
functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; (b) the amendment 
changes standards implementing the functional classification system; or (c) the amendment 
would allow land use levels of development that would result in types of levels of travel or 
access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of the existing planned 
transportation facility, reduce the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility 
below the minimum acceptable performance or the standard identified transportation system 
plan, comprehensive plan or worsen the performance of an existing or planned transportation 
facility that is otherwise projected to perform below the minimum acceptable performance 
standard identified in the TSP or Comprehensive Plan, all as measured at the end of the planning 
period identified in the adopted transportation system plan. 
In addressing transportation issues in the Goal 12 rule, Big River has provided an 
analysis of ATEP, a leading regional transportation planning and engineering firm. ATEP's 
analysis is that approval of the Ordway property will not significantly affect a transportation 
facility and therefore the Big River request is in compliance with the Goal 12 planning rule. 
First, Big River's request at the Ordway property does not change, or require a 
change, of any functional classification at any existing or planned transportation facility in the 
area. The application is neutral with regard to any existing or planned functional classification. 
Second, the PAPA application for the Ordway property does not change the 
standards that implement the functional classification within the general area in Clatsop County. 
Again, the application is neutral with regard to these factors and requires no change. 
Third, as measured at the end of the planning period, the proposed PAPA at the 
Ordway property does not allow levels of development or levels of travel or access that are 
inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing planned facility, does not reduce the 
performance of an existing plan or facility below the minimum accepted performance standard 
identified in the County Transportation System Plan or Comprehensive Plan and does not worsen 
the performance of the existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to 
perform below the minimum accepted standard. ATEP's analysis is that no new truck trips will 
accompany the Ordway property approval that are above the allowable amount of traffic to and 
from the operations previously approved by Clatsop County and ODOT. The level of truck 
activity allowed by ODOT under the currently approved access permits and ODOT's change of 
use rules has already been factored into the transportation system plan and the functioning of 
transportation facilities in the area. Because approval of this request at the Ordway property will 
not generate additional truck traffic beyond ODOT's already-approved trip levels, there can be 
no measurable affect on any transportation facility or reduction in the performance of any 
existing transportation facility in the area. Accordingly, the proposed future use of the Ordway 
- 6 7 -
property mandates no additional peak hour or operational trips above the level previously 
permitted by Clatsop County and approved by ODOT in the access permit. Accordingly, there 
can be no measurable affect from the proposed request on any existing or planned transportation 
facility, nor any measurable worsening of performance that is related to the requested operations. 
The requirements of the transportation planning rule are complied with because 
the proposed use does not significantly affect the transportation facility. Truck traffic associated 
with the Ordway property will continue to use the ODOT-approved improvements that have 
been in place and those improvements will continue to safely and economically serve all 
transportation system users. Accordingly, Goal 12 is fully satisfied by the PAPA application. 
Statewide Goal 13 
Goal 13 requires the county to analyze any energy considerations for the proposed 
land use with the goal of conserving energy. 
Findings: The proposed Ordway property is located close to the south Clatsop 
County market area where there is a significant amount of growth. Locating mineral and 
aggregate sites that are reasonably close to market areas reduces the amount of transportation 
necessary to move rock material to where it will be used and, therefore, saves energy. Excellent 
infrastructure and approved access also assist in better movements of truck traffic to and from 
the site and save energy. For all these reasons, the requirements of Goal 13 are met. 
Statewide Goal 14 
Goal 14 requires the county to provide for an orderly and efficient transition from 
rural to urban land use to accommodate the population, and urban employment inside urban 
growth boundaries to ensure efficient use of the land and to provide for livable communities. 
Findings: As discussed under Goal 11 above, the proposed mineral and 
aggregate extraction uses are generally and typically located on rural lands in Clatsop County. 
Mineral and aggregate extraction sites typically require large acreages and large parcel sizes that 
are not consistent with urban uses. The general practice in Clatsop County is that rock extraction 
and associated processing (e.g., crushing) are located in rural areas and their activities are 
predominantly rural in character. Nothing in the use that is proposed for the Ordway property 
would permit any change of the use from rural to urban. Goal 14 was amended in 2005 to 
require additional consideration about accommodating an urban population and urban 
environment, and ensuring efficient use of the land and providing for livable communities. 
Mineral and aggregate materials are fundamental building blocks for streets, roads, residential, 
commercial and industrial properties that are essential to accommodate urban population even 
though the resource materials may be sourced on rural lands. Available supplies of mineral and 
aggregate materials on rural resource areas allow the county to accommodate urban population 
and continue to have urban employment inside the urban growth boundary. The "efficient use" 
requirement of Goal 14 is primarily directed toward maintaining proper inventoried balances for 
urban uses, urbanizable lands and urban growth boundaries. However, to the extent applicable, 
- 68 -
the PAPA request for the Ordway property is an extremely efficient use of land because it is 
immediately adjacent to a state highway which allows the mineral and aggregate resource to be 
extracted and moved efficiently to the nearby markets. While the emphasis in Goal 14 is 
directed towards urban planning and intelligent development of urbanizable areas creating 
livable communities, the proposed development of the Ordway property is intelligent and 
efficient development that will allow reorienting quarrying activities to reduce impacts. 
Accordingly, Goal 14 supports approval of the PAPA application for the requested expansion. 
Goal 15 Related to the Willamette River Greenwav, Goal 16 Related to Estuarine 
Resources, Goal 17 Related to Coastal Shorelines, Goal 18 Related to Beaches and Dunes, 
and Goal 19 Related to Ocean Resources. These goals do not apply as the property under 
consideration is not near the Willamette River or in areas that are subject to the County's policies 
for estuarine, shoreline, ocean or beaches and dunes resources.

Staff Report 
MEMORANDUM 
March 4th, 2008 
Before the Planning Commission: 
As instructed Staff held a collaborative forum between the interested parties involved in 
the Big River Zone Change request. Staff is pleased to present the Compromise reached 
by the applicants and the members of the community. The Compromise is described in 
the meeting notes on the following pages and reflected in the Resolution and Order and 
Proposed Conditions. 
On the Following pages the Commission will find Notes from the Forum held on 
February 28th, 2008, a revised Resolution and Order, Staff's proposed conditions, & the 
Applicants requested conditions. 
If the Commission decides to adopt the proposed Resolution and Order Staff will append 
the executive summary and supporting documentation as presented at the last Planning 
Commission hearing on February 12th, 2008. 
The only difference between Staff's Conditions and the Requested Conditions submitted 
by the applicant is the Batch Plant. At the meeting it was agreed upon to make future 
applicants for a batch plant go through the PAPA procedures. In fairness to those present 
at the meeting Staff felt that to change the conditions to reflect an alternate version might 
not be acceptable to all parties involved. Therefore Staff's Conditions reflect the 
requested conditions with the Batch Plant Condition differing from the Applicant's 
version. Everything else represents the same conditions requested by the Applicant. 
The Commission also requested Staff to investigate the previous Conditional Use and any 
violations presently existing. Staff has a letter from the Oregon Department of State 
Lands and Oregon Department of Transportation addressing these matters. Since the 
Planning Commission has decided not to admit new evidence both of these letters will be 
presented at the next level to the Board of Commissioners at the first adoption hearing. 
The Commission should be aware that neither of these letters is injurious to the 
application nor should they hinder this decision. In order to address the Commission's 
inquiry Staff has investigated the previous violations, and while there is no evidence that 
these violations have been rectified in the record, the letters to be presented to the Board 
should clear up the violation questions.

Supplemental Information, Testimony and Decision Documents 
February 5th, 2008 
Before the Planning Commission: 
As directed by the Commission at its January 8th, 2008 public hearing, the public record remained open for 
additional testimony and evidence until January 25th, 2008, and a rebuttal period of one week was allotted to 
the applicants until February 1st, 2008. The testimony received and compiled is contained within the pages 
immediately following this cover letter. 
Please be advised that a request was submitted to extend the public comment period. Staff feels that to 
extend the public comment period would place an undue burden upon the applicant. Staff would remind 
those parties interested in extending the public comment period that a secondary hearing before the Board 
of Commissioners is forthcoming, and a chance to submit additional public testimony will be allotted at that 
level as well. 
In addition appended to the supplemental testimony and evidence previously mentioned the Commission 
will find a secondary packet arranged for adoption. Within this packet the commission will find a Resolution 
and Order, Conditions, Maps, Supporting Documentation including a summary and findings, and the 
Economic, Social, Environmental, & Energy analysis provided by the applicant. This packet contains the 
information that will be continued forward to the Board of Commissioners for adoption. 
Please note that the original Staff report is contained within the Record and is appended to the back of the 
"Executive Summary". At this time Staff s recommendation has not changed from its previous 
recommendation to approve the request and recommend adoption to the Board of Commissioners. Despite 
the opposition on this matter the quarry has been in operation for many years. The proposed expansion will 
reduce the impacts of the mining operations on those residents surrounding the quarry. Furthermore, the 
previous owners (Osburn & Olson Bros.) created most of the concerns raised by the opponents. Since 
acquiring the Property in 2006, Big River LLC has worked diligently to rectify the violations created by the 
previous owners. In addition Big River has offered to work with the local water shed authority to reestablish 
the riparian corridors and reduce and control turbidity and the discharge of stormwater into the surrounding 
creeks. They have also proposed to redirect the drainage to prevent the stormwater runoff from affecting 
neighboring parcels. 
The other main concern voiced by the opposition to this amendment was the possible creation of a 
Concrete or Asphalt Batch Plant. As mentioned by the applicant, they are not interested in pursuing a Batch 
plant at this quarry. Therefore staff would recommend the Planning Commission Modify the 
proposed Condition 1 to prohibit a batch plant on the property. Staff feels that prohibiting a batch 
plant and requiring future owners of the quarry to go through the PAPA process to be granted approval for 
a Batch plant will protect the interests of the citizens in that community. With the afore mentioned 
change in mind, Staff respectfully submits the following Documents for Review and Approval. (See 
Attached Documents)

SUMMARY 
On October 16lh, 2007 Staff conducted a pre-application conference with Paul Hribemick of Black 
Helterline LLP, and executives of Big River Holdings Inc. On October 25th, 2007 the applicant submitted 
their Post Acknowledgement Procedures Application for the following matters: Is' A comprehensive plan 
text amendment, essentially adding the location to Gats op County's List of Significant mineral and 
aggregate resources sites; 2nd applicants request the location be rezoned from Agriculture Forest to Quarry 
Mining and a Quarry Mining Overlay be placed over the impact area and areas within 500 feet of any RA-2 
Zones. The Comprehensive Plan amendment in this matter would result in a change from Conservation 
Forest & Rural Lands to Conservation Other Resources. 3*1 the applicants request approval of the 
submitted Erosion Control Plan, Geologic Hazard Permit, Development Permit, & Site Plan Approval 
PROPERTY CONDITIONS 
The subject property consists of forested lands, open fields, wetlands, creeks, intermittent drainage and the 
subject hill where the mining operations are to occur. 
AREA ZONING MAP 
January 1st, 2008 Big River Holdings PAPA & Zone Change Page 2 of 7 
N E I G H B O R H O O D CONDITIONS 
2005 Aerial !is 
The area is outside of urban growth boundaries; however residential zones are adjacent to the Rock 
Quarry. A subdivision of 30+ homes is located directly across the Highway from the subject property. The 
site is surrounded on three sides by residences. 
BACKGROUND 
The site has historically been used for the purposes of extracting rock and timber resources. George & 
Donna Ordway acquired the property in 1973. The property is currently identified as a primary site 
requiring conditional use approval. The site is identified under the Goal 5 Quarry and Mining Element of 
the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan. The site was one of the original sites identified for Quarry & 
Mining. The property remained in Mr. George Ordwa/s possession until Pacific Continental acquired it in 
2001. Osbum Brothers Rock then purchased the Property in 2002; they in turn sold the property to Big 
River Holding in 2006. The property has had violations in the past in the form of encroachment on 
neighboring parcels, excess sediment deposits into nearby streams, and uncontrolled storm water 
discharge; the current owners of the Ordway site have rectified past violations and taken measures to 
ensure that future violations do not occur. Currently the subject property continues to produce large 
quantities of Basalt, used as embankment material, crushed rock and other non-specified uses. 
APPLICABLE CRITERIA 
The applicable criteria for this land use application is contained in LWDUO Section 5.412 which reads: 
Section 5.412. Zone Change Criteria. 
The governing body shall approve a non-legislative zone designation change if it finds compliance 
with Section 1.040, and all of the following criteria: 
January 1st, 2008 Big River Holdings PAPA & Zone Change Page 3 of 7 
(1) The proposed change is consistent with the policies of the Clatsop County Comprehensive 
Plan. 
(2) The proposed change is consistent with the statewide planning goals (ORS 197). 
(3) The property in the affected area will be provided with adequate public facilities and services 
including, but not limited to: 
(A) Parks, schools and recreational facilities 
(B) Police and fire protection and emergency medical service 
(C) Solid waste collection 
(D) Water and wastewater facilities 
(4) The proposed change will insure that an adequate and safe transportation network exists to 
support the proposed zoning and will not cause undue traffic congestion or hazards. 
(5) The proposed change will not result in over-intensive use of the land, will give reasonable 
consideration to the character of the area, and will be compatible with the overall zoning 
pattern. 
(6) The proposed change gives reasonable consideration to peculiar suitability of the property for 
particular uses. 
(7) The proposed change will encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout Clatsop 
County. 
(8) The proposed change will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of 
Clatsop County. 
ASSESSMENT OF APPLICATION VERSUS APPLICABLE CRITERIA 
The following section examines the application versus the eight applicable criteria of LWDUO § 5.412. 
(1) Consistency with Comprehensive Plan 
Analysis: 
As part of its land use application (attached, Exhibit 1), the applicant evaluates the application against the 
applicable elements of the Clatsop County Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's assessment provides 
satisfactory evidence that the zone change on the subject parcel is consistent with the applicable policies of 
the Comprehensive Plan. 
All requirements pertaining to the public notices (LWDUO § 2.105 - § 2.125) for the land use matter have 
been met. 
Finding of Fact: 
Based on the analysis above, the application satisfies Zone Change Criterion No. 1. LWDUO § 5.412(1). 
(2) Consistency with Statewide Planning Goals 
Analysis: 
Clatsop County's acknowledged comprehensive plan implements the 19 Statewide Planning Goals. The 
determination in the preceding section that confirms the application's consistency with the Comprehensive 
Plan provides satisfactory evidence that the application is in conformance with the applicable Statewide 
Planning Goals. 
Finding of Fact: 
Based on the analysis above, the application satisfies Zone Change Criterion No. 2. LWDUO § 5.412(2). 
January 1st, 2008 Big River Holdings PAPA & Zone Change Page 4 of 7 
(3) Adequacy of Public Facilities and Services 
Analysis: 
In its application (Exhibit 1; Goal 11 assessment on page 66), the applicant explains that the nature of the 
activity at the site does not require a significant level of public services. Furthermore the services necessary 
for the proposed activity are currently available. Therefore the current level of public services at the site is 
adequate for the proposed use now and into the future without the need to extend any type of services. 
Finding of Fact: 
Based on the analysis above, the application satisfies Zone Change Criterion No. 3. LWDUO § 5.412(3), 
(4) Adequacy of Transportation Facilities 
Analysis: 
In its application (Exhibit 1; Goal 12 assessment on page 67), the applicant explains that the level of truck 
traffic will not create any substantial impacts with this designation and that the trip levels and proposed 
transportation plan will mitigate the trip levels proposed. A site visit conducted on December 27lh, 2007 
would indicate that the plan proposed by ODOT to mitigate the effects of trucks entering & exiting the 
Highway should be sufficient to address concerns with the current level of operations. 
As a function of the PAPA application Staff would recommend a condition to mitigate the potential traffic 
impacts of the site. The proposed plan submitted by the applicant and discussed on pages 10-13 of the 
application would satisfy this condition. Essentially the applicant will be responsible for demonstrating that 
suitable access roads exist to serve the proposed development site and must gain consent from ODOT for 
expanded use of Hwy 26, as appropriate. 
Finding of Fact: 
Based on the analysis above, the application satisfies Zone Change Criterion No. 4. LWDUO § 5.412(4). 
(5) Compatibility with Area 
Analysis: 
Issues of compatibility were raised in the applicant's application particularly in regards to neighboring 
residences. A letter submitted by the Edgewater Terrace Home Owners association indicates their adamant 
objections and concerns regarding the construction or use of a concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt batch plant. 
The applicant has indicated that they do not intend to construct or operate a batch plant on the site. Staff 
feels that as a condition of the Zone Change and PAPA procedure a condition is attached to the site to 
restrict the construction and operation of any Batch Plant on the Property. In so doing, the majority of the 
concerns from surrounding neighbors would be addressed and a higher level of compatibility can be 
attained. 
Finding of Fact: 
Based on the analysis above, the application satisfies Zone Change Criterion No. 5. LWDUO § 5,412(5). 
(6) Peculiar Suitability of Site for Particular Uses 
January 1st, 2008 Big River Holdings PAPA & Zone Change Page 5 of 7 
Analysis: 
In their application the applicants indicate that a recent review of the quality of the mineral resources on 
the site indicates that there is over 5 million tons of quality mineral and aggregate materials at the Ordway 
site. The Clatsop County Comprehensive plan identifies that mineral and aggregate resources are rare in 
Clatsop County. The Comp. Plan requires that a site must have over 250,000 cubic yards of quality mineral 
or aggregate resources to be considered a "significant" site. If the submitted geology reports arc accurate, 
the Ordway site far exceeds the requirements necessary to be a considered a significant site. Furthermore 
this particular site has been in operation as a Rock Quarry for nearly 30 years. 
Finding of Fact: 
Based on the analysis above, the application satisfies Zone Change Criterion No. 6. LWDUO § 5.412(6). 
(7) Zone Change Promotes Appropriate Use of Land in County 
Analysis: 
Analyses provided by the applicant in their application adequately address the criteria. Currently there are 
four areas in the county designated as significant resources and protected with a Quarry Mining Overlay. 
Adding the Ordway site to the list of significant mineral and aggregate sites in Clatsop County is an 
appropriate text amendment and zone change that would promote the efficient use of the land. 
Finding of Fact: 
Based on the analysis above, the application satisfies Zone Change Criterion No. 7. LWDUO § 5.412(7). 
(8) Health, Safety, and General Welfare 
Analysis: 
The application promotes the health, safety, and general welfare for Clatsop County residents and visitors 
by providing economic enhancement, resources for dikes, roads, embankment projects, and county 
citizens. 
Finding of Fact: 
Based on the analysis above, the application satisfies Zone Change Criterion No. 8. LWDUO § 5.412 (8). 
Conclusion 
Due to the amount of subject matter and the potential controversy surrounding this case Staff would 
advise the Planning Commission to review the subject matter and hear public testimony but refrain from 
rendering a decision until its next meeting. Staff, after review of comments from the public and input from 
the planning commission will revise the staff report and compile the appropriate conditions with a 
Resolution & Order for adoption at the next hearing. 
After review of the applicants application staff feels the findings submitted by the applicant appropriately 
address the criteria, goals, policies, and application procedures. With the addition of a few minor 
January ls l, 2008 Big River Holdings PAPA & Zone Change Page 6 of 7 
conditions to address any potentially negative compatibility issues and to ensure compliance with Clatsop 
County's Comprehensive Plan & Land Use Ordinance 80-14, Staff would recommend the Planning 
Commission Motion to Recommend to the Board of Commissioners the adoption of the applicant's 
findings and the approval of their request to: 
1) Rezone the Quarry site to QM {Quarry Mining}. 
2) Identify the Impact area. 
3) Place a QMO over the remainder of the Property. 
4) Add the Site to the County's List of Significant Mineral and Aggregate Resources. 
5) Allow the applicant to expand their operations through the winter months as requested on Page 4 
of the application. 
6) Approve the Development Permit and Grant the Geologic Hazard Permit. 
7) Allow blasting on the site provided it is in compliance with D E Q requirements and is strictly 
limited to methods using sequential charges as described in the application. 
8) Authorize the site for additional daily deliveries provided the applicant adhere to the access & 
circulation improvements stipulated by ODOT. 
STAFF RECOMMENDS: 
The Planning Commission adopt the applicant's findings, 
and; 
Instruct Staff to present the Planning Commission with a Resolution and Order & Recommended 
Conditions. 
• R & O to Recommend Approval of the application to Clatsop County's Board of 
Commissioners.

Exhibit II. 
Economic, Social, Environmental, & Energy 
Report (ESEE) 
ESEE ANALYSIS: 
Con flic ting Uses: 
Only one use (residential use) has been identified which could give rise to 
conflicts if allowed to locate within the impact area at the Big River Ordway site. 
Because a conflict is possible, the Goal 5 Economic, Social, Environmental and Energy 
consequences analysis (ESEE) is required for approval of the application (Step 7 of 
DLCD guidance paper). The PAPA rule provides that where a conflicting use has been 
identified, the Goal 5 resource site may impact, and be impacted by, that use. Both the 
impacts on the resource site and on the conflicting use must be considered in analyzing 
ESEE consequences. 
The Big River site is located on the southeast side of Highway 26 between 
mileposts 2.5 and 3.0. The property is surrounded by property zoned AF, F-80 and RA-2. 
No current agricultural activities occur near the site. A residential subdivision is located 
across Highway 26 to the northeast. 
2. Economic Consequences Analysis. 
a. Impacts on the resource of allowing conflicting uses. 
The Big River site will provide at least 8 million tons of high quality aggregate. 
The material taken from the site will be utilized for critical infrastructure uses including 
road construction, structural foundation backfill, culverts, landscaping, and others. The 
site's proximity to Highway 26, Seaside, and Cannon Beach make it ideal for offering 
competitive prices on rock products and it will have a significant economic impact. 
If a residential use was allowed in close enough proximity to Big River's Goal 5 
mineral and aggregate resource to prevent or reduce use of the pit, it would have a 
significant adverse economic effect on the resource. For example, if a new dwelling was 
allowed to locate within the impact area, Big River might not be able to meet DEQ's 
noise regulations without extensive changes to its operations. Those regulations could 
require new sound walls or berms, changes in hours of operation, significant costs to alter 
operations, shrinking of the size of the mineral resource that could be extracted and, in a 
worst case scenario, the shut down of the mineral and aggregate operation because of an 
inability to comply with DEQ's noise regulations. And, if a residential use was allowed 
within the impact area, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to design an 
extraction plan that would yield the fullest utilization of the mineral and aggregate 
resource or even to potentially obtain a small portion of the resource on the Goal 5 
resource site. A residential use, if allowed, could result in the loss of jobs provided by 
Big River's site and the loss of the material provided by the quarry into the economy of 
the county. 
Clatsop County benefits from long-term, reliable sources of high quality mineral 
and aggregate material. If conflicting uses were allowed in such location as to prevent or 
limit operation of the Big River Ordway site, the owner would suffer a significant 
Exhibit 14 
economic setback and the community would be denied access to much needed and highly 
valuable mineral and aggregate materials that help economic growth. These are 
significant and unacceptable negative economic effects. 
b. Impacts on the conflicting uses of allowing the resource use. 
No conflicting use currently exists inside the impact area of the Big River Ordway 
mineral and aggregate resource site. As such, any conflicting use that could occur would 
move to the area with full knowledge of the existence of the mineral and aggregate site 
and the potential noise effects. The question is whether it would be necessary for an 
individual to build a residence within those small portions of the neighboring properties 
that are within the identified impact area. Currently there are portions of each property 
affected by an impact area designation that are outside the identified impact area 
perimeter from the mineral and aggregate resource site. As such, if an individual wishes 
to build a residence he or she would have several options to choose from on any existing 
parcel. The ability to move the conflicting use to another location on the same parcel 
greatly reduces the economic impact on the conflicting use if the mineral and aggregate 
expansion is approved, located and operated. In addition, the property owners could 
enter into a waiver of remonstrance, noise easement or other agreement to allow the 
construction of a residence within the impact area and avoid adverse cffects on the 
quarry. In sum, the economic consequences can be avoided, the economic costs can be 
lessened, and the owners can continue to make economic use of the properties. Outside 
the identified impact area, noise impacts can be controlled and DEQ standards can be met 
and there would be little or no economic impact on any approved use. Another major 
noise source in the area is created by Highway 26, The residents in the area constantly 
receive noise from the highway and the overall noise environment in the area is not 
pristine. As such, the incremental economic cost of noise from the quarry is not large if 
it, in fact, exists. 
When balancing between the economic costs to the resource (potentially 
the inability to use the resource or operated in an economically sound manner) with the 
economic impacts from noise radiating from the site onto other properties, economic 
analysis supports the protection and operation of the mineral and aggregate resource site. 
Jf the mineral and aggregate resource site were unable to operate or able to operate 
without extraordinary noise controls that made the rock costs ineffective, the operator 
would suffer an economic loss, but more importantly, the county would suffer an 
economic loss because the mineral and aggregate resource would not be available in the 
county for infrastructure improvements. Contrasted with a potentially small and difficult 
to qualify loss in economic value of future uses that would be constructed within the 
identified impact area where the sound level could increase, it is our conclusion that the 
activities on the Big River site outweigh the small and difficult to define economic cost to 
landowners in the area who might wish to place a noise sensitive residential use within 
the impact area. As such, we believe that our consideration of the economic prong of the 
ESHE analysis tips clearly in favor of preserving the resource and allowing its operation 
because it provides for the greater economic good of the entire community.

2. Social Consequences Analysis, 
a. Impacts on the resource of allowing conflicting use. 
It is difficult to make a rational analysis of the social impacts in this matter 
because the impacts on mineral and aggregate resources are primarily economic in 
nature, However, there could be social impacts created that would negatively affect the 
resource if a conflicting residential use was allowed in close proximity to the site. It 
appears the most significant social cost to the landowner and the mineral and aggregate 
operator would be related to attempts to mitigate noise to the satisfaction of neighbors 
through modifications to the operation that potentially increase the cost of aggregate 
extraction. 
The most probable social impact in allowing a conflicting residential use near the 
resource site would be to limit or prevent the site's use because of social dissatisfaction 
from the neighbors. If a conflicting residential use was allowed next to the resource sites, 
it is possible that the existing regulations controlling the operation of the site, particularly 
noise standards, might be difficult or impossible to meet at the site and that these 
regulations would be aired and enforced through social pressure. This social disruption 
could result in an increase in the price of aggregate materials with a loss of at least a 
portion of high quality aggregate resource at the site and make that site unavailable for a 
wide variety of uses in the county, including road and infrastructure construction. 
Aggregate materials have high social utility in the county and are a critical part of 
infrastructure, as well as commercial, industrial and residential construction. The 
increase in price or a decrease in the supply of high quality aggregate, such as that at the 
proposed site, would have a negative social impact in the greater county area potentially 
through increased prices of infrastructure, homes, highways and other products which 
depend on aggregate materials. This could implicate social costs by limiting the county's 
citizens' ability to afford these products and services and potentially reduce their standard 
of living. 
b Impacts on conflicting use of allowing the resource use, 
if the impacts (largely noise) associated with the proposed operation are not 
properly controlled, there could be social impacts on new residential uses near the 
mineral and aggregate resource, such as neighbor dissatisfaction and unrest. However, 
the nature of the resource site, its location, the surrounding uses, the topographic features 
and the control mechanisms required by conditions, as well as the noise studies that have 
been provided, all serve to make any significant adverse social effects unlikely. The 
record demonstrates that the DEQ noise standards, which are designed to protect 
residences and human health, can and will be met by the operation at all residences in the 
area. Further, there is already ambient highway noise and it is hard to assign social value 
to any increase to ambient noise levels that may occur within the DEQ standards. Rock 
has a significant social utility and must be obtained at locations where high quality rock 
is located and where it is close to the market to reduce costs. In the end, the balance 
between the greater social utility of the mineral and aggregate resource and the personal 
social costs of individuals whose environment undergo a change as a result of the 
protection of the mineral and aggregate resource tips in favor of the resource site. The 
- 3 -
greater social good of having a confirmed source of high quality mineral and aggregate 
outweighs the potential social impacts that have been identified by the neighbors 
immediately in the area. 
3. Environmental Consequences Analysis. 
a. Impacts on the resource of allowing conflicting uses. 
A conflicting residential use would generally not have an environmental impact 
on the aggregate resource unless it was allowed in the impact area. If the residential use 
was allowed in the impact area, the environmental impacts on the resource could be 
severe and the resource potentially could not be used or its use would be severely 
restricted due to increased difficulties with environmental compliance (primarily noise 
compliance). 
b. Impacts on the conflicting uses of allowing the resource use. 
The proposed aggregate operations could potentially have an environmental 
impact (in the form of noise) upon a conflicting use if located within the impact area. 
Other potential impacts including dust and transportation will not have adverse 
environmental consequences because they will be controlled and mitigated. Applicant's 
noise expert indicates that outside of a mapped distance from the proposed extraction 
areas, mineral and aggregate operations can meet DEQ's standards. DEQ standards are 
designed to protect human health and human habitation areas and meeting DEQ standards 
helps mitigate and eliminate environmental conflicts. The mining and operations plan 
submitted by Big River provides a number of methods that will minimize environmental 
impacts (e.g., reorienting mining direction, reducing onsite truck speeds, etc,). It is 
possible that there would be an adverse environmental effect due to an increase in the 
ambient noise level even though DEQ standards are met. However, in establishing the 
noise levels, DEQ has provided a mechanism that adequately protects environmental 
values. Big River has demonstrated that DEQ's standards can be met within the mapped 
impact area. Further, Big River has used land forms, has incorporated berms, and has 
proposed a mining plan to mitigate these environmental issues. Big River's proactive 
approach in this area is an important consideration to the environmental analysis. 
Regardless of where a mineral and aggregate site would be located in Clatsop 
County, a neighbor would be able to express concern about the adverse effects of the 
environment, If a mineral and aggregate site was required to have no effect on any 
person, that resource would be located well beyond the market area and significant 
additional amounts of fuel would be necessary to move the product to market. That 
would cause a separate type of environmental consequence that is avoided by locating the 
sites closer to the market area. Rock resources move by trucks and the more distance that 
is added (to escape environmental, social and economic consequences to adjoining 
properties) creates an equal and opposite environmental, social and economic 
consequence: the use of significantly more fossil fuel that powers the trucks that deliver 
the mineral and aggregate material. Further, transportation costs greatly increase the cost 
of aggregate and it is not in the best interests of citizens in Clatsop County to locate 
mineral and aggregate resources a significant distance outside the market area. . 
- 4 -
With regard to the environmental prong of the ESEE analysis, the 
minimized environmental impacts on neighboring properties must be balanced against the 
greater environmental impacts caused by moving mineral and aggregate operations to 
locations that are farther and farther away. While there are potential environmental 
consequences in terms of noise, these consequences are greatly mitigated or even 
eliminated by the operator's proposal and they are outweighed by negative environmental 
consequences if the quarry were required to move farther and farther away from the 
market area. 
4. Energy Consequences Analysis. 
a. Impacts on the resource of allowing conflicting uses. 
The only adverse energy consequences to a mineral and aggregate resource by 
allowing a conflicting use would be due to operational changes in the aggregate 
extraction operations that could make them less efficient and more energy consumptive. 
And as argued above (in the environmental analysis which we incorporate herein), it is 
also possible that locating a conflicting use near the resource sites could potentially cause 
greater energy impacts through fuel consumption by haul trucks that might be required to 
travel greater distances to bring the aggregate material to market from more distant 
locations. 
b- Impacts on conflicting uses of allowing the resource use. 
It is difficult to conceptualize how there would be adverse energy consequences to 
any conflicting use if the Big River application site is approved. Conceivably, existing 
neighbors (or new construction) would wish to replace single pane windows with double 
paned windows to counteract noise effects. This would potentially consume more energy 
by manufacturing new windows, but also could save energy in terais of increased 
efficiency of double paned windows. Similarly, it is possible that neighbors could 
attempt to berm or landscape their properties in a way to reduce the view of the mineral 
and aggregate sites or some of the potential operating effects. This, conceivably, could 
increase energy consumption directly related to the energy necessary to construct the 
bcrms. 
Because transportation of mineral and aggregate materials is very energy 
dependent, we believe that our consideration of the energy consequences of the ESEE 
analysis tips slightly in favor of allowing the proposed use.

I he Department- of Ecology developed this publication to help owners 
and operators of areas with fugitive dust sources comply with laws pertaining to 
dust emissions and the use of dust suppressants. It provides guidance for road 
maintenance departments, road construction and general contractors, real estate devel-
opers, as well as government agency technical assistance providers, dust abatement 
product and service vendors, and the general public, 
Common dust sources include: 
• agricultural fields •> paved and unpaved roads 
construction and demolition sites *> parking lots 
•> feed lots *** waste cleanup sites 
hauled materials *!• industrial facilities 
• storage piles. 
This publication describes methods, techniques, and products designed to prevent or 
suppress dust emissions. Environmental considerations relating to the use of chemical 
dust suppressants in Washington State are also discussed. The methods outlined here 
help you apply effective, economical, and environmentally safe dust control techniques.

Exhibit 13 
• Reduces unpaved road maintenance costs, by: 
• reducing frequency of blading by 25 to 75 percent, 
• decreasing loss of fine-grained road surface material, and 
• lowering regraveling costs. 
• Reduces cleaning costs for homes and vehicles. 
• Reduces liability for damage caused to property or people 
• Improves property values and quality of life. 
• Reduces complaints from the public. 
Dust emissions can be prevented or reduced in four basic ways: 
• Limiting the creation or presence of dust-sized particles. 
• Reducing wind speed at ground level. 
• Binding dust particles together. 
•Capturing and removing dust from its sources. 
All of the following techniques rely on one or more of these strategies. 
Techniques Applicable to Many Sources: 
• Vegetate or mulch areas that won't receive vehicle traffic. 
• In areas where planting, mulching or paving is impractical, apply gravel 
or landscaping rock. 
• Clear vegetation only from those areas where you will work right away. 
• Construct natural or artificial wind breaks or wind screens. These may 
be designed as enclosures for small dust sources. 
Dust Emission 
Prevention and 
70 
Techniques for Dust Prevention and Suppression 
• Apply water to reduce emissions from temporary sources. Limited use 
of water-absorbing (hygroscopic) salts with water will reduce how often 
you must water trafficked areas. 
• Surface-apply chemical suppressants to untrafficked areas to form a less 
erodible soil surface. 
Techniques for Unpaved, Trafficked Areas: 
• Lower speed limits. High vehicle speed increases the amount of dust 
stirred up front unpaved roads and lots. Lowering the speed of a 
vehicle from 45 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour can reduce 
emissions by up to 22 percent. 
•> Upgrade the road by: 
• Increasing surface strength by improving particle size, shape, and 
mineral types that make up the surface and base materials. 
• Adding surface gravel to reduce the source of dust emission. Limit 
the amount of fine particles (those smaller than .075 mm) to 10 to 20 
percent. 
• Improving drainage and crown. 
• Use geotextile fabrics to increase the strength of new roads or roads un-
dergoing reconstruction. 
• Encourage use of alternate, paved routes, if available. Dust emissions 
from paved surfaces are up to 90 percent less than from unpaved 
surfaces. 
• Restrict use by tracked vehicles and heavy trucks to prevent damage to 
road surface and base. 
• Apply chemical dust suppressants using the admix method, blending 
the product with the top few inches of surface material. Suppressants 
may also be applied as surface treatments. Chemical treatment can 
reduce emissions by 30 to 80 percent. 
• Pave unpaved permanent roads and other trafficked areas. 
• Pave or treat permanent unpaved haul roads, construction sites, and 
parking or staging areas at commercial, municipal, or industrial facili-
ties. 
Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program 25 
Techniques for Paved,Trafficked Areas: 
4> Improve material specifications for and reduce usage of skid control 
sand or salt. Use coarse material that isn't easily crushed into powder 
during snow and ice season. 
<* Vacuum or wet sweep fine dirt and skid control materials from paved 
roads soon after winter weather ends and at other times, when needed. 
• Minimize vehicle "track-out" material by: 
$ Filling in muddy areas with gravel or other surface material. 
• Installing "grizzlies." These rough-surfaced areas, such as lengths 
of gravel or cattle guards, scrub soil and mud from vehicle tires. 
^ Building vehicle tire/underbody wash stations near unpaved road 
junctions at project sites. 
• Pave or stabilize shoulders of paved roads with gravel and vegetation. 
•> Provide for stormwater drainage and construct curbing to prevent wa-
ter erosion onto paved roads. 
Techniques for Other Specific Sources: 
• For agricultural fields: use strip cropping, increase soil surface roughness, 
plant wind breaks, rotate crops, reduce tillage, plant cover crops, limit 
burning, and apply mulch, 
• Apply load control measures like load covering, freeboard, bedliners, 
and watering. Require prompt clean up of spills. 
•> Cover piles with wind-impervious fabric. 
• Limit use of off-road recreational vehicles on open land. Confine opera-
tions to specific areas, require permits, or prohibit use. 
70 Techniques for Dust Prevention and Suppression 
control practices comply with federal, state, and local laws. Contact your 
local Air Pollution Control Authority and county Health Department to 
find out about requirements in your area. In Washington State, the fol-
lowing laws apply: 
Chapter 70.94 RCW Washington Clean Air Act and Chapter 
173-400 WAC 
These statutes require owners and operators of fugitive dust sources to 
prevent fugitive dust from becoming airborne and to maintain and operate 
sources to minimize emissions. 
Chapter 70.95! RCW Used Oil Recycling 
This law prohibits the use of used oil as a dust suppressant. Used oil 
includes any oil that has been refined from crude oil, used, and as a result 
of such use, is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities. If you 
plan to use a chemical suppressant, verify that it does not contain any used 
oil as an ingredient. Also be certain that if the product contains fuel oil in-
gredients, that the fuel oil does not contain used oil. Note that federal regu-
lation 40 CFR Part 279, Standards for the Management of Used Oil, Subpart 
I prohibits the use of used oil as a dust suppressant in all 50 states. 
Chapter 90.48 RCW, Water Pollution Control 
Section .080 prohibits the discharge of any material into surface or ground 
waters that could cause pollution as defined in WAC 173-200-020(22). If 
your site is near surface or ground water, use dust control measures that 
have zero or minimal aquatic impact If you decide to use a chemical dust 
suppressant, select a product with no aquatic toxicity. 
Note that Ecology's General Permit for Sand and Gravel Operations 
prohibits the use of lignin sulfonate products for dust suppression in exca-
vated areas due to the risk of groundwater pollution. 
Chapter 70.105 RCW, Hazardous Waste Management 
This statute prohibits the disposal to the ground of any dangerous (haz-
ardous) waste. If you are planning to use a chemical dust suppressant, 
make sure it does not contain any dangerous waste ingredients. 
Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program 
25 
Chapter 70.105D RCW Hazardous Waste Cleanup - Model 
Toxics Control Act (MTCA) 
This law requires the identification and cleanup of hazardous sites. The 
Department of Ecology can investigate reports of releases or the presence 
of hazardous substances. If a hazardous product is used as a dust sup-
pressant and Ecology later receives a complaint of contamination, a site 
assessment may be conducted. A cleanup may be required if it is deter-
mined that there is a potential threat to human health or the environment. 
This determination depends on the hazardous substance(s) present, their 
concentration(s), the environmental characteristics of the site including 
proximity to surface and groundwater, as well as the current or proposed 
future use of the property. 
Anyone considering the use of products containing hazardous substances 
for dust abatement should carefully weigh the risk of possible future clean-
up costs or loss in property value which could occur, particularly if land 
use is likely to change toward more unrestricted uses such as residential 
housing. 
Chapter 90.03 RCW Surface Water Code and Chapter 90.44 
RCW Regulation of Public Ground Waters (wells) 
This regulation requires a water right permit for all surface water with-
drawal and for any water from a well that will exceed 5,000 gallons per 
day. If you plan to use water for dust suppression at your site, be sure that 
you have a legal right to that water. If in doubt, check with the Department 
of Ecology's Water Resources Program. Temporary permits are usually 
obtainable in a short time period. In some instances, water may need to 
be obtained from a different area and hauled in, or from an existing water 
right holder. 
Chemical Dust 
Suppressants 
Chemical dust suppressants are commercially available for use on most 
types of emission sources. Keep in mind that most of the products 
designed for trafficked areas are primarily intended for moderately 
traveled, low cost roads, typically surfaced with gravel. Dust suppression 
and periodic unpaved road maintenance are normally combined. 
6 
The performance of any dust suppressant is directly related to many 
factors. These include: 
* application method and rate, 
*> road surface moisture content during application, 
* hydrological conditions, like site precipitation and drainage, 
*> mechanical stability of the road surface aggregate, 
•> percent of fines in the aggregate mix, and 
* the properties of the road base and subgrade. 
Don't expect a chemical suppressant to compensate for deficiencies in road 
design, material composition, local site, or climatic factors. 
For unpaved road applications, products applied using the admix method 
usually work better than if simply surface applied. Table 1 on page 16 lists 
the common dust suppressant product types and their attributes. Vendors 
can provide detailed product-specific information. 
Product Performance 
The literature on road dust suppression includes a number of comparative 
studies of dust control products; consult these references for detailed prod-
uct comparisons. A number of them, marked "C", appear in the References 
section on page 14. Several of the references also contain 
detailed information on application methods, performance-related mea-
surement techniques, comparative costs, and related road engineering top-
ics. These references are recommended for further reading, and are marked 
with a 
Results of comparative studies indicate that for unpaved road sites the 
most consistently effective suppressant products are the lignin sulfonate 
and calcium and magnesium chloride types. In Washington State, sixty 
road managers working in various governmental and private jurisdictions 
reported using: 
• lignin sulfonate products (41 percent), 
• water (33 percent), 
•> magnesium chloride products (8 percent), 
• emulsified asphalt products (8 percent), 
• petroleum oil products (4 percent), 
*t* calcium chloride products (4 percent), and 
•> other products (2 percent). 
Hazardou? \'\!title find Toxica Reduction Program 
Human Health and Environmental Impacts 
Only a few studies have evaluated the human heal th and environmental 
impacts of chemical dust suppressants. Any suppressant product or its 
ingredients may migrate from a treated site due to carelessness in appli-
cation, runoff, leaching, volatility, dusting, or adhesion to vehicles. 
The risk to human health and the environment from chemical dust-
suppression depends on many factors, including the hazardous characteri-
stics of product ingredients, application practices, and the environmental 
characteristics of the site. In areas where surface water or groundwater 
is nearby and where streamflows are very low, adverse environmental im-
pacts are possible. 
During preparation or application, chemical dust suppressants may 
exhibit hazardous characteristics such as corrosivity or ignitability. Some 
products may produce excessive heat when mixed with water, Others may 
contain toxic or carcinogenic ingredients. Be sure to carefully review the 
product literature, Material Safety Data Sheet, and manufacturer's instruc-
tions before purchase and prior to use. Observe all safety precautions and 
follow manufacturer's directions when handling, mixing, and applying 
chemical suppressants. 
A number of studies have looked at the effects of road deicing salts. Cal-
cium chloride, magnesium chloride, and sodium chloride are commonly 
used for both deicing and dust suppression. When applied to roads and 
streets these salts can potentially contribute substantial amounts of the 
chloride ion to groundwater, surface water, and nearby soils. Deicing salt 
impacts to roadside and nearby vegetation, ground water (including wells) 
and, to a much lesser degree, surface waters, have been reported. 
The results of deicing studies are not directly appli-
cable to dust suppression. Salts applied to unpaved 
roads remain mostly in the road surface 
or underlying layers in the short term. Deicing com-
pounds, however, applied to paved roads, quickly 
wash away as snow and ice melts. 
Water quality analysis for the above-referenced dust 
suppression study conducted at Colorado State 
University found significant dust suppressant con-
centrations (from chloride and lignon products) in 
runoff samples from treated test sections. This study 
concluded that the total product mass going into the 
environment was small and would have negligible 
impact.

Techniques for Dust Prevention and Suppression 
Total Cost Accounting for Dust 
Suppression Projects 
Developing an effective and cost-efficient dust control 
program means accurately identifying and accounting for 
the true costs and savings of any new alternative, compared to 
your current practices. For unpaved roads, the costs can 
be grouped into the categories listed below: 
Road Improvement Costs 
Drainage improvements, geometric improvements, repairing of failed 
areas, excavation and removal of substandard material, and addition of sur-
face material. (Note: These costs are not part of dust suppression 
program costs if they would be required anyway, without dust 
suppression.) 
Surface Preparation Costs 
Addition of select material (fines or coarse material), breaking up and loos-
ening the road surface (scarifying), watering, shaping, and compacting. 
Product Supply and Application Costs 
Material cost, transportation cost, application cost, and contract supervisor 
cost (if a project supervisor is provided by the contractor). 
Miscellaneous Costs 
Traffic control, detour, inspection, crew supervision, material storage (if 
inventory is maintained) and liability costs. 
Dust program savings or benefits can be grouped as follows: 
Road Improvement Costs Avoided 
Listed above, these costs are avoided or reduced over time due to greater 
road stability and durability resulting from chemical treatment. 
Road Maintenance and Repair Savings 
These savings are due to less frequent regrading and less frequent need to 
add supplementary road materials. They accumulate due to reduced loss 
of gravel and fines, along with greater durability of the road surface. 
Savings from Non-road and Off-site Benefits 
These are the savings that accrue from the many dust control program ben-
efits not specifically related to the road itself, i.e., human health, 
vehicle-related, and environmental. 
Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program 25 
Recommendations 
Approach your dust control problem systematically, looking first at 
prevention options. The decision-making flowchart printed on page 18 
provides a general framework. 
Prepare a dust control plan 
Refer to the general and source-specific guidelines and control measures de-
scribed in the documents Control of Open Fugitive Dust Sources (HPA-450/3-88-
008) or Fugitive Dust Background Document: and Technical Information Document 
for Best Available Control Measures (EPA-450/2-92-004). Also, be sure to consult 
with your local Air Pollution Control agency (see page 11). At a minimum 
your plan should include: 
• Identification of all fugitive dust sources. 
• A description of the dust control method(s) to be used for each source. 
••• A schedule, rate of application, calculation or some other means of identi-
fying how often, how much or when the control method is to be used. 
• Provisions for monitoring and record-keeping. 
• A backup plan in case the first control plan does not work or is insufficient. 
• The name and phone number of the person responsible for making sure the 
plan is implemented and who can be contacted in the event of a dust com-
plaint. 
Selecting Chemical Suppressants 
Comparative studies of dust suppression products have been conducted. 
Some of these are listed in the References section, Evaluate the available prod-
ucts against your own specific emission source, site, performance, and cost 
criteria. 
The burden of proof for product safety lies with the chemical manufacturers, 
distributors and users. Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets and review them 
carefully. Ask the vendor whether their product has characteristics or meets 
criteria that would cause it to designate as a Washington State dangerous waste 
as it is applied to the ground, after drying or curing, or as a result of biochemi-
cal decay. 
70 Techniques for Dust Prevention and Suppression 
While hazardous characteristics or criteria or the presence of hazardous 
ingredients do not prevent the use of a product, they are factors in evalu-
ating worker safety and potential environmental hazards. Beware of the 
possible presence of contaminants in any product. Ask the product man-
ufacturer to provide you with toxicity test results including mammal and 
fish bioassay tests. For Washington State, the test methods are referenced 
in WAC 173-303-110, and are available through any Ecology office. Result: 
of standard tests that measure biological oxygen demand (BOD) and leach 
ability after application (i.e., water solubility) should also be available. 
The Department of Ecology does not approve, recommend, or endorse 
specific products or service providers. However, we can help you in evalu 
ating the environmental safety of specific products. Contact your regional

Performance Advantages Performance Limitations Environmental considerations 
Usually readily available, iow material 
cost, easy to apply. 
Frequent light applications may be nec-
essary during hot, dry, weather; there-
fore, potentially labor intensive. Over-
application may result in loss of traction, 
erosion, or points of road failure. 
Minimal environmental hazard, if applied 
excessively, may result in erosion and 
sediment runoff. Supply may be limited 
in some areas. 
Low material cost. Performs some-
what better than fresh water. Need for 
re-application is less than with fresh 
water. 
Only available in coastal areas. Over 
application may result in loss of traction, 
erosion, or points of road failure. Salt 
(MgCI2, NaCI) is corrosive to metals. 
Repeated applications and long-term 
use may harm adjacent and nearby 
vegetation. 
Reduces evaporation rate of surface 
moisture 3.4 times; lowers freezing 
point of water to -60 degrees F (30% 
solution) minimizing frost heave and 
reducing freeze-thaw cycles; increases 
compacted density of road material; ef-
fectiveness retained after reblading. 
Effectiveness in arid and semi-arid 
regions may be limited due to low 
relative humidity; very corrosive to 
aluminum alloys; slightly corrosive to 
steel. Solubility results in leaching dur-
ing heavy precipitation. Releases heat 
when mixed in water. 
Repeated applications and long-term 
use may harm adjacent and nearby 
vegetations. 
Reduces evaporation rate of surface 
moisture 3.1 times; lowers freezing 
point of water to -27 degrees F (22% 
solution) minimizing frost heave and 
reducing freeze-thaw cycles; increases 
compacted density of road material, 
more so than CaCI2; effectiveness 
retained after reblading. 
Effectiveness in arid and semi-arid 
regions may be limited due to low rela-
tive humidity; very corrosive to steel, 
though inhibitors can be added. Solu-
bility results in leaching during heavy 
precipitation. 
Repeated applications and long-term 
use may harm adjacent and nearby 
vegetations. 
Greatly increases dry strength of 
soil; not humidity-dependent: imparts 
some plasticity to road surfaces; 
lowers freezing point of road surface 
and base; effectiveness retained after 
reblading. 
High solubility results in leaching 
during heavy precipitation; corrosive 
to aluminum alloys due to acidity 
(CaC03 added ingredient, can neutral-
ize acidity). Proper aggregate mix (4 
- 8% fines) important to performance. 
Becomes slippery when wet, brittle 
when dry. 
Lignin products have a high BOD 
(biological oxygen demand) in aquatic 
systems. Spills or runoff into surface or 
groundwaters may create low dissolved 
oxygen conditions resulting in fish kills or 
increases in groundwater concentrations 
of iron, sulfur compounds, and other pol-
lutants. 
Low solubility after curing minimizes 
leaching and provides degree of 
surface waterproofing. Imparts some 
plasticity to road surfaces. High bond-
ing strength; non-corrosive. 
Require proper weather and time to 
cure. No residual effectiveness after 
reblading. Equipment requires prompt 
cleanup to avoid curing of resin in 
hoses and pipes. 
Applicable to a range of emission 
sources; function well in sandy soil 
conditions. Some types allow seeded 
vegetation to grow through the poly-
mer matrix. 
Require proper weather conditions 
and time to cure: may be subject to 
UV (sunlight) degradation; application 
equipment requires timely cleaning; no 
residual effectiveness after reblading. 
Water insoluble when dry; provide 
a degree of surface waterproofing. 
Good residual effectiveness. 
Surface crusting, fracturing and pothol-
ing may develop; long-term applica-
tion may cause road to become too 
hard for reblading; won't lower freez-
ing point; petroleum oil products lack 
adhesive characteristics. 
Use of used oils is prohibited. See 
MTCA discussion on page 6. Some 
petroleum-based products may contain 
carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydro-
carbons (PAHs). 
Flexible, durable, water permeable, 
and resists soil chemicals; reduces 
amount of aggregate required during 
initial construction; lower maintenance 
High material cost; material degrades 
in sunlight, if exposed.

RE: Big River Ordway Quarry 
In regards to your question about concerns expressed by some individuals in the 
proximity of the Ordway Quarry, specifically the Edgewater Terrace Subdivision, it is my 
experience as a geologist the periodicity and energy of routine mine methods employed 
at the Ordway Quarry will not result in vibration perceptible to humans. The distance of 
over 1500 feet, high energy/short period waveform of blast energy and transition from 
high density basalt to alluvial sediment will negate perceptible vibration. 
High speed, heavy traffic on nearby Highway 26 is a more likely source of vibration due 
to proximity and energy/waveform type. 
If you have any questions please call (541) 683-4997.

Reference: PAPA Application 
Big River Holdings, Inc. (Ordway Quarry) 
Dear Mike: 
We appreciate the time that you and Patrick Wingard put into the pre-application 
conference last week. Consistent with our discussions at the pre-app, we are filing the PAPA 
application for the Ordway quarry at this time. We have included a check for $239 for the 
pre-application conference as you were gracious enough to allow us to provide the check for the 
pre-app at the time of the application. We have enclosed the following documents: 
1. Comprehensive Plan Ordinance Text Amendment Application 
(application fee: $3,309) 
2. Comprehensive Plan Zone Map Amendment Application 
(application fee: $2,175) 
3. Development Permit Application 
(application fee: $79) 
We understand there is no specific application for a Detailed Geological 
Hazard/Flood Application. Because there is DOGAMI slide topography mapped on the site, we 
agreed at the pre-application conference that the Detailed Geological Hazard Permit would need 
to be addressed. We have enclosed the appropriate check for this review as part of the PAPA 
process ($1,059).

In addition to the County's application forms, we have enclosed three complete 
copies, each containing the following documentation: 
1. PAPA application narrative dated October 16, 2007. 
2. Noise analysis prepared by Daly Standlee & Associates dated October 9, 2007. 
3. Traffic impact analysis prepared by Associated Transportation Engineering & 
Planning, Inc. dated October 2007, 
4. Geology analysis prepared by Environmental Science Associates dated 
October 2007. 
5. Various site plan maps. 
6. Detailed topographic map of the Ordway quarry area (two-foot contours). 
7. Aerial photograph of the site. 
8. Soil map of the area and soil classification documents showing detailed access 
points in the area. 
9. Copies of access permits. 
10. Area zoning maps and 1,500-foot notice area around the requested QM zone. 
11. Parking plan and parking plan narrative. 
12. Geologic hazard overlay, DOGAMI slide area overlay, Erosion Control Area 
and Site Maps and Erosion Control Plan narrative. 
13. Preliminary Reclamation Plan narrative. 
14. Current Big River DOGAMI permit. 
We trust that this documentation will be sufficient to allow the application to be 
deemed complete and begin processing. We request the earliest possible Planning Commission 
meeting and would greatly appreciate it if you would send the 45-day DLCD comprehensive 
b 
Mr. Michael J. Weston II, MP A 
October 23, 2007 - Page 3 
plan change notice immediately to allow us to be on the December Planning Commission 
agenda. 
As we discussed in the pre-application (and supplemental citations to statutes and 
regulations) the appropriate mechanism for proceeding on this PAPA is OAR Division 23 
(660-023-180). As indicated in my e-mail correspondence to you, the Division 16 rules have 
been superseded. We will need to make findings to that effect and we will potentially need to 
make alternative findings related to the Division 16 process because of the references in the 
County's Zoning ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. 
With regard to the notice, it would be prudent for the County to extend notice to 
properties within the County's normal notice radius from the exterior boundary of the potential 
1,500-foot impact area (please see zoning maps and 1,500-foot notice area maps). As we 
discussed in the pre-application conference, we do not believe there is any possibility that the 
impact area would extend to the full 1,500 feet. Nonetheless, a 1,500-foot notice area is 
technically possible and 1,500 feet is the "assumed" impact area under the Division 23 PAPA 
rule. Accordingly, it would be prudent to have notification extend the County's normal distance 
for this type of application beyond the potential impact area indicated on the impact area maps. 
Thank you for your ongoing courtesies in this matter. We look forward to 
working with all parties as the application progresses through the PAPA process. Please call if 
you have any questions. 
Very truly yours, 
Paul/d. Hribemick

Steep yarding paths, skid trails, and firebreaks are 
subject to rilling and gullying. A plant cover or 
water bars are needed. 
The waste material from roadbuilding can damage 
vegetation. It is also a potential source of 
sedimentation. 
Reforestation occurs naturally in cutover areas if a 
seed source is present. 
Plant competition delays natural regeneration but 
does not prevent the eventual development of a 
fully stocked, normal stand of trees. 
Carefully managed reforestation reduces competition 
from undesirable understory plants. 
Reforestation can be accomplished by planting 
western hemlock, Sitka spruce, or Douglas-fir 
seedlings. 
Suitable management practices: 
Use conventional equipment in harvesting, but limit 
its use when the soil is wet. 
Reduce the risk of erosion by seeding roads; 
cutbanks, and landings and installing water bars 
and culverts. 
Prepare the site carefully to control competing 
vegetation. 
Hand plant nursery stock to establish or improve a 
stand. 
Improve stands by thinning before trees reach 
commercial size and by selective cutting of 
mature trees.

Disturbing the soii excessively in harvesting timber 
and building roads increases the loss of soil, which 
in turn Leaves a greater number of rock fragments 
on the surface of the Necanicum soil.

Precipitation - 70 to 100 inches 
Soil temperature - 49 to 53 degrees F (varies less 
than 9 degrees from summer to winter) 
Frost-free period. - 210 to 245 days 
Cropland 
General management considerations: 
Most climatically adapted crops can be grown if 
adequate drainage is provided. 
Suitable crops for planting are grasses and legumes. 
Grasses and legumes grow well if they are 
adequately fertilized. 
Most crops respond to nitrogen, phosphorus, 
potassium, and lime. 
Legumes respond to phosphorus and lime. Additions of 
potassium may also be needed. 
Grazing when the soil is wet results in compaction of 
the upper layer, poor tilth, and excessive runoff. 
Suitable management practices: 
Use tile drains to reduce wetness if a suitable outlet is 
available. 
Maintain or improve fertility by using a cropping 
system that includes grasses, legumes, or grass-
legume mixtures. 
Reduce the risk of erosion by using minimum tillage, 
seeding disturbed areas to native or fame pasture 
plants, and planting early in spring to provide 
adequate cover in winter, 
irrigate during the dry period in summer. 
Irrigate carefully to prevent the development of a 
perched water table. 
Regulate the application of irrigation water to control 
runoff and erosion. 
Apply enough water to wet the root zone but not so 
much that it leaches plant nutrients. 
Maintain the quality and quantity of forage by rotating 
grazing, limiting grazing to drier periods, mowing 
and clipping, controlling weeds, and applying 
fertilizer annually. 
Building Site Development 
General management considerations: 
The quality of roadbeds and road surfaces can be 
adversely affected by limited soil strength. 
Septic tank absorption fields may function poorly 
because of limited permeability and seasonal 
wetness. 
If the density of housing is moderate to high, a 
community sewage system may be needed. 
Suitable management practices: 
Reduce wetness by installing drain tile around 
footings. 
Offset the risk of corrosion to uncoated steel and 
concrete by using corrosion-resistant material for 
foundations,, basements, and underground utilities. 
Provide a stable base and an adequate wearing 
surface to improve trafficability of roads, 
Install culverts to carry seasonal runoff where roads 
cross natural drainageways.

General management considerations: 
Wheeled and tracked equipment can be used in the 
more gently sloping areas, but cable yarding 
generally is safer and disturbs the soil less. 
Using wheeled and tracked equipment when the soil is 
wet produces ruts, compacts the soil, and damages 
the roots of trees. 
Logging roads require suitable surfacing for year-
round use. 
Cutbanks occasionally slump when saturated. 
Adequately designed road drainage reduces the risk 
of erosion. 
Steep yarding paths, skid trails, and firebreaks are 
subject to rilling and gullying. A plant cover or 
water bars are needed.

General management considerations: 
Slope limits the kinds of equipment that can be used in 
forest management. 
Highlead logging is more efficient than most other 
methods and is less damaging to the soil surface, 
When wet, unsurfaced roads and skid trails are 
slippery. They may be impassable during rainy 
periods. 
Logging roads require suitable surfacing for year-
round use. 
Susceptibility of cut and fill areas to erosion is high. 
Adequately designed road drainage reduces the risk of 
erosion. 
Spoil from excavations is subject to ril! and gully 
erosion and to sloughing. 
The soil is subject to sliding and slumping because it is 
very plastic and is underlain by highly fractured 
bedrock. 
The waste material from roadbuilding can damage 
vegetation. It is also a potential source of 
sedimentation. 
Because roots are restricted by bedrock, trees on 
the Braun soil commonly are subject to 
windthrow. 
Trees on the Braun soil are subject to windthrow 
because of the limited rooting depth. 
Unless the site is adequately prepared, competition 
from undesirable plants can prevent or prolong 
natural or artificial reestablishment of trees, 
Reforestation can be accomplished by planting 
Douglas-fir or western hemlock seedlings. 
Suitable management practices:

Figure 7.-Area of Skipanon gravelly silt loam, 30 to 60 percent slopes, in foreground. 
General management considerations: 
Slope iimits the kinds of equipment that can be used in 
forest management. 
Highlead logging is more efficient than most other 
methods and is less damaging to the soil surface. 
Disturbing the soil excessively in harvesting timber 
and building roads increases the loss of soil, 
which in turn leaves a greater number of rock 
fragments on the surface. 
Constructing roads at midslope results, in large cuts 
and fills, which increases the risk of erosion. 
Logging roads require suitable surfacing for year-
round use. 
Susceptibility of cut and fill areas to erosion is high. 
Spoil from excavations is subject to rill and gully 
erosion and to sloughing. 
The soil is subject to sliding and slumping because it is 
very plastic and is underlain by highly fractured 
bedrock. 
Adequately designed road drainage reduces the risk of 
erosion. 
The waste material from roadbuilding can damage, 
downslope vegetation. It is also a potential source 
of sedimentation. 
Reforestation occurs naturally in cutover areas if a 
seed source is present. 
Plant competition delays natural regeneration but 
does not prevent the eventual development of a 
fully stocked, normal stand of trees. 
Carefully managed reforestation reduces plant 
competition from undesirable understory plants, 
Reforestation can be accomplished by planting 
western hemlock, Sitka spruce, or Douglas-fir 
seedlings. 
Suitable management practices: 
Use highlead or other logging that fuliy or partially 
suspends logs because it is less damaging to the 
soil. 
Reduce the risk of erosion by seeding roads, 
cutbanks, and landings and installing water bars 
and culverts. 
Avoid excessive damage to the soil and to the 
vegetation downslope from roadbuilding sites by 
removing waste material. 
Prepare the site carefully to control competing 
vegetation. 
Hand plant nursery stock to establish or improve a 
stand. 
Improve stands by thinning before trees reach 
commercial size and by selective cutting of

Parking Plan 
PARKING PLAN NARRATIVE 
The County's Standards Document requires that off-street parking and loading 
shall be provided for all development requiring a development permit. Quarry operations are 
different from commercial operations or standard industrial uses where parking and loading 
requirements can be computed on a square-foot basis or from residential uses where parking and 
loading requirements can be developed based oil the number of dwelling units. The closest 
standard in the Standards Document for providing parking spaces is an industrial development 
requiring one parking space per employee on the largest shift. It is anticipated that when 
crushing is in full operation, there will be no more than seven employees on the site at peak 
times. Accordingly, parking areas have been designated near the aecess road (near the existing 
scale) and in the southeast comer of the existing quarry floor. Sufficient spaee exists on each of 
these two sites for substantially more than seven parking spaces of the appropriate size and 
dimension required by the Standards Document. All such parking is off-street. Parking will be 
arranged in single file order with adequate spaee to preserve traffic flow for visitors to the site, 
truck traffic generated by the site, and emergency vehicles. Both designated parking areas will 
have sufficient turnaround space for maneuvering the vehicles and will be graveled, consistent 
with their location as Big River's operations. Graveled areas will allow for percolation of rain 
water and eliminate sheet flow of storm water onto sidewalks, public right-of-ways or abutting 
private property. Big River will provide signs that el early mark parking spaces. Big River's 
operational orientation will change over time. For this reason, Big River requests that it not be 
required to permanently mark the parking spots. Wheel stops and bumpers are not necessary as 
parking spaces do not abut the property line or building. No screening is necessary because the 
parking areas are on the internal portion of quarry areas. Artificial lighting will not be provided 
because the operational hours for the quarry are day-time operation hours (e.g., 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.). 
Bicycle parking spaces are not required under the Standards Document and are inappropriate for 
a graveled industrial site. 
Loading areas are critical to the quarry use, but the quarry will not have buildings 
with gross floor area by which to judge the necessary square footage of loading facilities. In 
addition, as the operation changes, the necessary loading areas will change as well. As indicated 
on the parking and loading site plan map, Big River has currently designated a portion of the 
quarry floor as a loading area continuing operations and will move as necessary as the quarry 
floor is reoriented. The area is significantly larger than 750 square feet. The loading area 
provides the ability for trucks to make circular movement to facilitate ease of use. This area is 
behind existing berms and is screened. As the loading area moves in relationship to quarry 
reorientation, it will continue to be screened. We have also indicated an unloading area on the 
southern portion of the property which is where haul back material may be deposited. This area 
has more than 750 square feet and also provides for circular truck traffic as appropriate. 
The Ordway quarry is currently served by a sign that does not extend into any 
required side yard or street right-of-way. It is not lighted or moveable. The sign will remain and 
no additional signage is requested for the quarry site.

Flood Hazard Overlay & Erosion Control Plan 
FIGURE Q 
EROSION CONTROL PLAN NARRATIVE 
October 1, 2007 
This narrative accompanies the Erosion Plan Map and explains how Big River 
currently meets erosion control issues at the Ordway quarry and how it will direct its future 
operations to meet all of the design and operation standards and requirements related to erosion 
and sedimentation control in the LWDUO. 
The location and physical nature of the site contribute greatly to Big River's 
ability to control erosion and sedimentation issues. The site itself is a basalt outcropping that is 
valuable as a crushed rock resource. Because of the hardness of the subsurface, erosion is not a 
significant problem notwithstanding the steep slopes on some portions of the property. 
The site, except for the operational quarry area, is heavily vegetated, contributing 
to slope stability and limiting erosion and sedimentation. This vegetation will be maintained as 
much as possible and removed only when an area is cleared for immediate quarry operations. 
There are large buffer zones that are vegetated and provide ample areas for 
sedimentation ponds and sedimentation collection areas to eliminate any offsite impacts. 
Waterways in the area are buffered from the site by existing roads and highways. The 
Necanicum River to the east is separated from the site by Highway 26. Vollmer Creek to the 
west is separated from the site by Vollmer Creek Road. Big River will continue to use the 
favorable site location and favorable site characteristics to control erosion and sedimentation. 
Big River's operational plan calls for enlarging the quarry floor. This will 
provide ample opportunity to direct storm water flows internally and have them percolate through 
fractures in the quarry floor, or be handled by sedimentation ponds on the west side of the quarry 
operations area or in the southeasterly portion of the site. 
Roads necessary for access and internal circulation are already in place on the 
site. No vegetation removal for road construction eliminates erosion opportunities from this 
source. In the event that the exit point option preferred by ODOT would be milepost 2.50, 
adequate erosion control measures will be put in place to protect the haul road that would be 
constructed on the east side of the existing quarry. All roads are adequately buffered from any 
waterways by large areas of vegetation which will remain in place and large flat areas which 
serve to disperse and absorb any runoff water. 
The operations at the site will be phased in a logical sequence. This will allow 
Big River to delay clearing vegetation and stripping overburden until a particular area needs to 
be opened up for mining activities. Unlike large and flat alluvial deposits of sand and gravel 
(where stripping is generally done at a time over large areas). Big River will remove vegetation 
on small portions of the Ordway property as those portions are needed for mining activities. 
This means that substantial vegetation will remain in place over a majority of the site on a 
declining basis as operations expand. 
Big River's mining plan calls for the retention of a rock lip and vegetation on the 
eastern side of the expansion area. This will prevent erosion and sedimentation on the eastern 
side of operations from running toward the Necanicum River. In addition, it will allow Big 
River to install benches on the interior which may be used to control erosion and stormwater. 
New phases will be opened up in conjunction with a DOGAMI permit. As additional areas are 
opened up, additional bond money is paid to DOGAMI to ensure proper reclamation on the 
entire quarry area. It is impossible to predict an exact timeline over which phasing will occur, 
but Big River commits to stripping and clearing only those portions of the property necessary for 
actual ongoing mining operations. 
Parking areas and areas for stockpiles are located on several portions of the site 
area. These areas have flat characteristics to ensure that sedimentation and runoff can be 
controlled. Parking and stockpile areas will not be paved to ensure there is a porous surface to 
facilitate percolation and reduce runoff. 
There are minor water areas on the east side of the Big River property near 
Highway 26. These will not be disturbed and the riparian vegetation will be left in place. All 
existing riparian areas will be fully functioning. 
Big River currently inspects its operations periodically for erosion and 
sedimentation issues and will continue to do so in future operations. In the past, the company 
has been able to use, on a short-term basis, hay bales and sedimentation fences to control 
temporary erosion and sedimentation issues that may develop. Big River commits to preserving 
overburden on the site for reclamation purposes and will mulch as needed to ensure erosion 
control and stability. Consistent with standard construction operations, Big River may also use 
filter barriers, filter fences and equivalent control devices as needed. 
All the roads on the site, with the exception of small portions of pavement, are 
graveled and will continue to be graveled. This provides a permeable surface to allow 
infiltration of water that greatly reduces erosion and runoff. 
The person responsible for replacement inspection and maintenance of temporary 
and permanent erosion control measures is: Mike Sarin, President, Big River Excavating, 
1050 Olney Avenue, Astoria, OR 97103; telephone (503) 338-3878; fax (503) 325-3119. 
Big River certifies that land clearing, construction or development, or other 
quarry operations involving the movement of the earth shall conform to the erosion control plan 
as approved by Clatsop County.

Preliminary Reclamation Plan 
PRELIMINARY RECLAMATION PLAN 
Reclamation for the Ordway quarry is currently permitted under the Department 
of Geology and Mineral Industries (Permit #04-0056). The expansion at the Ordway site will 
require a change in the DOGAM1 permit. A fonnal reclamation plan will be provided to 
DOGAM1 when the change in permit is requested. Under state law and the Clackamas County 
Land Use Code, a DOGAMI application must occur after the County's final land use approval. 
Accordingly, a DOGAMI permit will not be applied for until land use matters are completed at 
the local level. As such, we are providing a preliminary reclamation plan for the County's 
general review as part of the land use application process, knowing that the final reclamation 
plan will be approved and regulated by DOGAMI. 
Reclamation at the Ordway quarry will be guided by the following principles: 
• Big River plans to reorient the quarry floor to establish a larger quarry area to 
allow it to strategically approach the rock resource from a westerly/southwesterly direction. This 
will allow Big River to maintain defined contours on the east side of the quarry in the form of a 
"lip" of rock. This will also allow Big River to retain defined vegetation oil the easterly side of 
the quarry which will help screen operations. Big River will maintain the quarry floor lower 
than the lip rock to the east to protect the residential uses to the east. The lip of rock will be 
lowered as the quarry floor is lowered and vegetation will be removed only as necessary for 
ongoing mining operations. 
• Internal benches will be maintained in compliance with DOGAMI and MSHA 
regulations. The benches will provide level areas within the quarry area proper for future 
reclamation. 
• New mining areas within the quarry will be opened up only as needed. This 
means that overburden will not be removed until mining is ready to proceed and that vegetation 
will stay in place until mining is ready to proceed. This will help with overall reclamation. 
• Big River will stockpile overburden for purposes of reclamation. This will 
allow us to broadcast overburden on the site once it is completely mined to facilitate return to 
forest and habitat uses. 
• Overburden stockpiles will be properly treated (i.e., seeding, mulching, etc.) to 
prevent erosion issues, 
• To the extent possible, Big River will attempt to reclaim on an ongoing basis. 
That is, if operational requirements allow, once a resource from one portion of the quarry is 
depleted, that area will be reclaimed as a part of ongoing operations. Given the small size of the 
area and the need for internal benching, this will be difficult to achieve, but Big River commits 
to explore the possibility of ongoing reclamation. 
• As part of the quarry design and reclamation, stonn water will be directed on site 
into the quarry floor or handled in supplementary sedimentation ponds as necessary.

1. INTRODUCTION 
Big River Excavating retained Environmental Science Associates, Inc. (ESA) to conduct 
a geologic investigation of basalt resources on their property located at 34334 Hwy 26 
and adjacent Weyerhaeuser land in Clatsop County, Oregon. The investigation was 
conducted in response to statewide planning Goals established by Oregon Land 
Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC). Goal number 5 requires an 
inventory of mineral and aggregate resource location, quality and quantity, The purpose 
of the investigation was to determine whether the basalt at the Ordway Quarry and 
Weyerhaeuser property is significant based on quality and quantity criteria established in 
OAR 660-23-180(3). 
2. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION 
The property is located at 34334 Hwy 26, Clatsop County Oregon in Section 14, T5N 
R10W and includes tax lots 51014 00900, 51014 01001, 51014 01203 and 510 00101. 
Portions of tax lot 510 00100 and tax lot 51014 00800 are included in the proposed mine 
expansion. The Clatsop County Tax records provide the following information: 
® 00900 - 8.03 acres 
® 01203 - 32.4 acres 
® 00101 ~ 6.0 acres 
® 01001 - 0.1 acres

3, SITE CHARACTERISTICS 
Local geology consists of a homogeneous basalt dike overlain by a veneer of basalt 
colluvium and soils derived from weathered basalt. Elevations on the site range from 
approximately 450 to 100 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). Lowest elevations exist 
adjacent to Highway 26. 
Two soil types are present in the general area of the mine expansion according to the 
Clatsop County Soil Report provided by the National Resource Conservation Service 
(NRCS). 
The ridge north of the existing Ordway Quarry, where mine expansion is proposed, is 
mantled by Klootchie-Necanicum complex. The Klootchie soil is 40 to 60 inches deep to 
bedrock, it is loamy, high in organic matter, well drained and occurs on mountains. The 
Necanicum soil is 40 to 60 inches deep to bedrock, it is loamy, high in rock fragments, 
high in organic matter, well drained and occurs on mountains. 
Lower elevation areas outside the proposed mine expansion are typified by Mues silt 
loam. The Mues soil is over 60 inches deep to bedrock. It is silty and loamy, the surface 
is high in organic matter and the subsoil is high in rock fragments, it is moderately well 
drained and occurs on terraces. 
4. PROCEDURE 
The resource evaluation included completion of six drill holes to depths ranging from 100 
to 270 feet below ground surface (bgs). AM Janssen Company drilled three holes with

an air rotary drill rig employing a drill/drive technique using a Holte Hammer to advance 
casing. Six inch steel casing was advanced behind the drill bit as drilling progressed, 
Steve LaFranchi, Oregon Registered Geologist supervised the drilling and logged drill 
information. Drill cuttings were logged at 5-10 foot intervals, 
GeoTech Exploration drilled two HQ core holes using a Central Mine Equipment (CME) 
75 rig. The core was placed in core boxes, logged and representative samples collected 
by Steve LaFranchi, Oregon Registered Geologist for quality testing by Carlson Testing, 
inc. 
Two Cubex drill rig holes were completed by BJ Equipment Company. The borings were 
6.75 inches in diameter with a 4 inch inner pipe diameter and 2.75 inch annular cutting 
return. 
Information recorded included thickness of the overburden ortopsoi l layer, thickness and 
characteristics of basalt, and lota! depth of hole. After completion, each geotechnical 
hole was abandoned by the drillers with bentonite/concrete slurry and bentonite chips. 
5. QUANTITY 
On November 1,2,3,7 & 8th, 2005, December 11, 12, 15, 16 & 19th, 2006 and January 
3,4,5,8,9 & 10lh, 2007, the author provided oversight for drilling conducted on the 
property and collected rock chip and cores samples for logging and quality analysis 
(Table 1). A total of seven subsurface holes were placed in the mine and expansion area 
to evaluate the resource (Figure 4). Two core borings were completed to provide quality 
test material, two Cubex borings were driven to further evaluate depth/quality of basalt 
and three air rotary holes were completed in the active quarry to confirm depth and 
quality of basalt. Eight air track holes were placed (A1-A8) to assist in evaluating 
overburden thickness.

Table 1: Drilling Summary 
Overburden consisted of a dark brown, clay loam with weathered fragments of basalt 
ranging from small grains to several inches depending on proximity to bedrock surface. 
The overburden thickness ranged from 0 to more than 15 feet below ground surface. 
Basalt outcrop is located in the road cut along Highway 26 at the north end of the ridge 
where the Ordway Quarry and proposed expansion are located. Drilling and outcrop 
exposure of basalt indicate the basalt continues to depths greater than 90 feet above 
sea level (amsl).

Goal 5 Report 
October 2007 
Quantity estimates are based on knowledge of local geology, drilling results and 
calculations which include overburden thickness. Totai area proposed for mining is 
approximately 8 acres (Figure 4) with approximately 6 acres already permitted for mining 
on tax lot 100. 
The estimated in-place volume of basalt in the proposed expansion area is 2,600,000 
yards. Using an expansion factor of 1.9 (in-place cubic yards x 1.9 = loose cubic yards) 
the mineable volume is approximately 4,930,000 yards. A general conversion for loose 
yards to tons Is a multiplier of 1.28 tons/loose yards. The estimated tonnage within the 
expansion area is 6,300,000 tons. 
The Ordway quarry contains an estimated tonnage of 2,200,000 tons of basalt based on 
work performed by Big River when acquiring the Osburn Quarry. 
Combined the existing permitted site and proposed expansion area would contain 
approximately 8,500,000 tons of high quality basalt. 
6. GOAL 5 MATERIAL TEST METHODS 
Material used for quality testing was collected January 10th, 2007 from core borings B1 
and B2. Steven LaFranchi, Oregon Registered Geologist observed the core drilling and 
collected the samples. The samples were delivered to Carlson Testing, Inc. for quality 
analysis. 
The test standards suggested by the Land Conservation and Development Commission 
for characterizing the quality of aggregate materials are Los Angeles rattler test, sodium 
sulfate test, and the Oregon degradation test. The laboratory report is included in 
Appendix B. 
6.1 Abrasion - AASHTO T96/ Test Method 211 
This test measures resistance to abrasion of small size coarse aggregate using the Los 
Angeles rattler machine. The test indicates how material will withstand the grinding 
action of heavy traffic. The material to be tested is weighed, subjected to tumbling for a 
set time, screened, and reweighed. The statistic listed is the percentage lost during the 
testing. Depending on the grading classification of material tested, Los Angeles rattler 
values cannot exceed percentage values between 35 and 45 percent. 
Carlson Testing report T0704246.CTI shows the basalt tested from boring B1 had an 
average percent loss of 15.4% after 500 revs using Grading A for loss determination. 
Analysis of boring B2 had an average percent loss of 18.1%. The Oregon State Highway 
Department (OSHD) HMAC 745.10 specification allows a maximum of 30% loss. 
6.2 Soundness - OSHD Test Method 206/AASHTO T104 
The soundness test is used to determine how weather will affect rock material, The test 
uses saturated solutions of sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate to determine resistance 
to disintegration. Testing consists of soaking the sample in a strong brine solution at an 
elevated temperature for 16 to 18 hours and then drying it at an elevated temperature for 
2 hours. This is repeated several times. The materia! is weighed, tested, and 
reweighed. The statistic reported is the percentage of loss. Analytical results of the 
sodium sulfate test are also dependent on the size classification and cannot exceed 10 
io 18 percent depending on the size fraction.

Goal 5 Report 
October 2007 
Coarse aggregate loss was an average of 1.3% after 5 cycles for boring B1 and 1.7% for 
boring B2. The ODOT HMAC 745.10 specification allows a 12.0% maximum for coarse 
aggregate. 
6.3 Aggregate Degradation - OSHD Test Method 208 
The Oregon degradation test is designed to measure the quantity and quality of the 
material produced by attrition similar to that caused in a roadway by repeated traffic 
loading and unloading. The quantity is measured by a modified sand equivalent test. 
The fine material is made by using air jets to rub one particle against another in water. 
Degradation of the test of materia! should not exceed 30 to 35 percent and the height 
gain (measurement of fine sediment collected in the bottom of test apparatus) cannot 
exceed 3 to 8 inches. 
For the basalt from boring B1 the percent passing the 850 pm sieve (#20) was 12.1% 
with a sediment height of 7.6 mm. The ODOT HMAC 745.10 specification for percent 
passing a 850 pm sieve is 30.0% maximum with a sediment height of 75 mm. 
Analysis of boring B2 was 15.1% percent passing the 850 p,m sieve (#20) with a 
sediment height of 13 mm. 
7. QUALITY STATEMENT 
Six test borings were completed within the active and proposed mine area on the Big 
River and Weyerhaeuser properties to determine the quantity and quality of the basalt 
resource. Representative samples were collected from two core holes extended to 
approximate depths of 200 feet. Core was collected from the entire boring for analysis. 
Carlson Testing, Inc. completed the testing of the basalt for quality. Tests results 
demonstrate the basalt resource is of excellent quality exceeding standards set by 
Oregon Department Highway Department (OSHD) test specifications. 
8. SITE VALUE 
The Big River mine and proposed expansion are advantageously located close to rapidly 
growing areas of residential and commercial development. Markets for this resource 
would Seaside, Astoria, Canon Beach and smaller communities in Clatsop County. The 
basalt resource identified on the site will play a significant role supplying construction 
materials for future growth in the region. 
9. EROSION CONTROL AND GEOLOGIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT 
Clatsop County's zoning and planning maps indicate the Big River site area has a 
Geologic Hazard Overlay and certain areas of the site are delineated as a DOGAMI 
Slide Area. Because of these map designations, specific attention was given to geologic 
hazards and slide potential when investigating the geology of the site. In the course of 
drilling and excavating on the site to determine the location, quality and quantity of 
mineral and aggregate resources, the site was traversed by a Registered Geologist. 
Approximately 100 man hours were spent on the site and additional time was spent 
reviewing details relevant and important to geologic interpretations. The site's 
operational history were reviewed. Factors relevant to soil formation, site vegetation and 
the overall nature and activity of the land form were examined. In addition, ground and 
aerial photos of the general area were reviewed, including review of ground features and

areas of the site proposed for the mineral and aggregate development. Topographic 
maps were examined which identify relevant site features including existing mining area, 
slopes, water courses wet areas and other natural features. 
The site is generally covered with replanted commercial timber (primarily Douglas Fir). 
Commercial thinning is ongoing. No springs or areas of erosion were noted in the 
general area, including the area within the proposed extraction limit, The area is isolated 
from the Necanicum River (to the East/Northeast) by Highway 26 and fiom Volmer 
Creek (to the West/Northwest) by Voimer Creek Road, a significant Weyerhaeuser truck 
haul road. There are no iocations in the general extraction area subject to stream 
erosion or that exhibit significant surface erosion due to improper drainage and/or runoff 
concentration. The currently exposed quarry faces are of sufficiently hard material to 
resist erosion. Substantial areas on the project site are available for sediment control 
features, including ponds. Access points to Highway 26 are on ievel ground and present 
no geologic issues. 
The proposed extraction area is underlain by weathered and unweathered basalt, the 
resource that provides value to the site under Goal 5. The portions of site that will be 
mined are essentially bedrock. This subsurface structure does not exhibit excessive 
horizons of subsurface clay, silt, buried vegetation or other geologic conditions that 
would give rise to high slide or other geographic hazard potential. No springs in the 
proposed extraction area were noted. This is consistent with the relatively small size of 
the basalt outcropping that will be mined and its stand-alone relationship to the general 
topography in the area. The geologic evidence leads to the conclusion that the site is 
appropriately suited for mining operations and standard DOGAMI-approved mining 
methods will secure slope stability for all aspects of the proposed mining operation. 
The proposed quarry expansion will move overburden and maintain appropriate 
benching in the bedrock to maintain stability, in compliance with DOGAMI requirements. 
DOGAMI has permitted the current quarry operations and we are aware of no DOGAMI 
concerns related to slope stability or geologic hazard. The site, as it develops, will not 
be open to the public, and with the exception of minima! paving areas on access roads, 
there will be no impermeable surfaces on site. Consistent with DOGAMI requirements, 
portions of the site will remain vegetated until ready for mining. Only as new mine 
extraction area is needed, will vegetation and overburden be removed. 
Overburden will be stored at suitable locations on site, stabilized as necessary (e.g. with 
vegetation) and saved for reclamation purposes. As the mine extraction area increases 
in size, appropriately-sized benches will be developed to insure ongoing internal slope 
integrity. Vegetation and a rock lip will remain in place on the eastern side of the site to 
reduce noise effects on residences in the area and to further ensure slope stability on 
the Highway 26-side of the site. Phased removal of vegetation from the mining area 
and preservation of vegetation on the east side to the extraction area, as indicated in the 
mining plan, will serve to protect scenic views, habitat and site stability as well as reduce 
or eliminate erosion potential. Reclamation to DOGAMI standards will include 
broadcasting overburden and replanting with appropriate commercial timber species. 
No onsite sewage disposal is planned; porta-potties will be used. An exempt 
commercial well may be constructed for onsite water needs (i.e. dust suppression), but 
such a well is limited to 5,000 gallons per day and is expected to have no effect on 
groundwater supply in the general area.

Qrdway Quarry Expansion 
Goal 5 Report 
October 2007 
Portions of the proposed site area are currently used as a quarry in a compatible manner 
with existing geologic conditions and without difficulty from slides or geologic hazards. 
The geologic evidence at the site indicates quarry expansion activities wiil not present 
slide or geologic hazard dangers because of the nature of the basalt resource underlying 
the site. As such the proposed expansion activities are compatible with the existing 
geologic conditions on the site. Compliance with standard DOGAMI operations 
procedures and permit conditions will assure operational compatibility. 
10. CONCLUSIONS 
Six air rotary and core drii! holes were completed on the Ordway mine and proposed 
Weyerhaeuser expansion to evaluate quality and quantity of basalt deposits present. 
Drilling results indicate a ten foot average overburden layer of topsoil and broken basalt 
overlies the basalt. Basalt is present from the active mine, north along the ridge to road 
cuts visible in Highway 26, Based on drill results and field geology, the basalt extends 
from the top of the ridge (proposed expansion area) to depths equal to or greater than 
basalt outcropping at the intersection of Highway 26 and the ridge (approximately 90 feet 
amsl). 
The basalt is of high quality and meets ODOT specifications for highway construction. 
Based 
Based on average an average overburden thickness of ten feet in the expansion area, 
and mine depths of 140 feet amsl, the estimated quantity of basalt in the proposed 
expansion area is approximately 6.3 million tons, 
Earlier work performed on the Ordway Quarry estimated 2.2 million tons of basalt in the 
permitted mine. The combined tonnage of the existing Ordway Quarry and proposed 
expansion is approximately 8.5 million tons. 
It is the professional opinion of ESA, based on the site investigation, quantity estimates, 
and quality testing completed by Carlson Testing, Inc. the Ordway Quarry and proposed 
expansion on the adjacent Weyerhaeuser property contains a significant resource of at 
least 8.5 million tons of high quality basalt. The site represents a significant Goal 5 
Mineral and Aggregate Resource and meets the quality, quantity and location criteria to 
be a protected resource under the Mineral and Aggregate Inventory of Clatsop County. 
Environmental Science Associates, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to assist Big River 
Excavating, inc. with the proposed Ordway Quarry expansion Goal 5 review. If further 
assistance is required, we would be pleased to offer our services,

Big River Holding, Inc. (Big River) intends to develop an additional extraction area at its 
Ordway quarry site. The site currently provides rock for construction, roadways and other 
general uses. The additional quarry area will serve as future reserves and provide a long-term 
supply for the southern Clatsop County area. Big River confirms that truck trips will not increase 
over the currently allowed level in Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Permit 
#51361, which approves the existing access for Big River's quarry at mile point 2.66 on 
Highway 26. 
Application Summary - The intent of this analysis is to provide information to decision-makers 
about traffic impacts of the requested quarry and related processing operations 011 the 
transportation system. The proposed Ordway site will expand the old Osburn Brothers Rock 
facility onto adjoining Weyerhaeuser land, generally to the north and west. The current site 
primarily occupies tax lot 101 and a portion of 1203 of T5N-R10W-SEC14. The site expansion 
will cover parts of tax lots 800, 900, 1000, 1001, 1203 and 100 (as well as the current quarry 
location at tax lot 101). The application will provide long-term supply of mineral and aggregate 
materials which are rare in Clatsop County. Operations will continue to occur as they have in the 
past. Truck levels will not increase from the 40 trips per day authorized by ODOT at the 
approved access point at mile point 2.66. 
Background - Approximately 17 tons of crushed aggregate is used each year for every 
Oregonian (Planning for Aggregate, Oregon DLCD, 2001). The necessary challenge is to 
identify and develop additional sources of quality crushed rock to build new streets and new 
buildings while minimizing adverse impacts on transportation systems. The Ordway quarry, for 
years, has served as a mineral and aggregate resource for the south Clatsop County area, 
Additional quantities of high-quality aggregate have been located on the site and Big River has 
worked with Weyerhaeuser, the adjoining landowner, to expand the quarry area, reorient the 
mining operations, and extend the life of the quarry operation. Big River will limit its site traffic 
to the number of trips currently permitted under its existing access permit and existing entrance at 
mile point 2.66 on Highway 26. That access point has previously been improved with a

right-hand turn refuge lane. The access width, turning radius and surface are appropriate for tire 
quarry use. As noted in this report, mineral and aggregate extraction is motor vehicle "truck" 
dependent and alternative modes of transportation cannot accommodate the use. At this 
particular site location, rail, water and other alternatives are not available and cannot be used to 
reduce impacts or improve performance. Similarly, bicycle and pedestrian transportation is not 
available for mineral and aggregate extraction activities; however, continued use of the existing 
site will not preclude pedestrian or bicycle modalities on the transportation facilities in the area. 
Crash History - The ODOT Crash Analysis and Reporting Unit has provided information about 
all reported accidents on Highway 26 between mile post 1.5 and 3.5 for the five years from 2000 
to 2005. In the two-mile section of highway from mile point 1.50 to 3.50, there have been 
30 reported crashes in the five-year period from 2000 to 2005. There were no fatal accidents in 
this section. There have been five crashes in the five years between mile point 2.41 and 2.99. 
The applicant's existing access is at mile post 2,66, There was one ice accident on the highway 
between mile post 2.6 and 2,9 in the five year period. This section of roadway is a 
category 3 section in the ODOT SIP (Safety Improvement Program). SIP categories run from 
1 (low priority) to 5 (high priority). The nearest SPIS (Safety Priority Index Site) is about 5 miles 
east on Highway 26 towards Portland or the west, nearer to Seaside. Highway 26, also known as 
the Sunset Highway, is a State Highway, one level below the Interstate Highway designation in 
the State of Oregon. 
Traffic Volumes - There are several ways to determine the opposing and advancing traffic 
volumes on Highway 26 in the vicinity of the existing Big River ODOT-permitted access at mile 
point 2.66. The best method is to count the number of vehicles during the highest traffic volume 
months (July and August) on the roadway. 
A second method is to estimate the traffic volumes using ODOT data. ODOT estimates 
the 2005 AADT (Average Annual Daily Traffic) on Highway 26 at milepost 0.50 was 6600 and 
at milepost 4.40, the 2005 AADT was 5000 vehicles. Using this ODOT data, AADT at mile 
point 2.6 for 2005 was 5800 vehicles. 
A third method is to count the traffic volumes at the site and adjust the counted volumes 
up to estimate the AADT and the 30lh HV (30th highest volume hour traffic). In July 2007, the 
PM Peak hour turning movements were counted at the existing Big River entrance. In that count, 
the Highway 26 PM Peak Hour counted bi-directional volume was 755 vehicles. ODOT, 
correctly in our opinion, estimates that the PM Peak Hour volume is 10% of the daily traffic.

ODOT also has found that at the automatic traffic recorder (ATR) on this highway at milepost 
37.73, the July average weekday traffic is 127% of the average daily traffic (ADT). By 
multiplying the PM Peak Hour volume by 10 and dividing by 1,27 the estimated AADT from the 
counted volume is 5945 vehicles. The 30lh highest hourly volume in a year is estimated by 
ODOT to be 20.5% of this volume or 1,219 vehicles. This is a major route from Portland to the 
coast and we believe this volume occurs primarily during Sunday evening traffic home from the 
beach when the rock pit will be closed. However, to ensure this analysis is conservative, the 
1,219 vehicle peak hour volume will be used. 
Table 1 summarizes the estimated total opposing plus advancing vehicles on the roadway 
at the existing approved ODOT access.

Left turn warrants - ODOT has developed criteria (warrants) to determine the need for a left 
turn refuge lane. Assuming the 30th HV (highest hour volume) is 1,219 vehicles, if left turn 
volumes are greater than 9 vehicles per 
hour, lane warrants would be met at 
milepost 2.66 of Highway 26 at the 
existing access. Figure 1 is the nomogram 
for the left turn warrants at the proposed 
access. Because most of the rock from the 
quarry will be taken to the coast (i.e., 
westward on Highway 26), very few 
vehicles (estimated to be less than two to 
three per day) will turn left into the 
quarry. This is because the primary 
market delivery area is to the west 
(e.g., Seaside, Cannon Beach) and there are virtually no returning empty trucks coming from the

east and turning left into the existing access. The total of all trucks making this left turn "in" 
movement is certainly less than nine vehicles per hour, given the nature of Big River's operation. 
Accordingly, the left turn lane warrants are not met at the existing access point, or any of the 
alternatives discussed in this report, 
Right turn warrants - The Oregon 
Department of Transportation has 
developed criteria to determine the need 
for a right turn acceleration and 
deceleration lane. Figure 2 is the 
nomogram for the right turn warrants at 
the proposed access. During the 30th HV, 
the calculated advancing (following) 
traffic volume is 770 vehicles (450 veh * 
10 * (1/120%) * 20.5%) per hour. If there 
are more than 19 right turns at the site per hour, then right turn warrants are met. Again, given 
the nature of Big River's operation, there is no possibility of 19 right turns from the site per hour. 
Using the ODOT nomogram, right turn acceleration turn lane warrants are not met in this section 
of highway for the existing access or any of the alternatives discussed in this report. We note that 
Big River's existing ODOT-approved access already has a constructed and operational right-turn 
deceleration lane. 
Production - Rock quarries extract and process rock for many construction and development 
related uses throughout Clatsop County. Production volumes are dependent on market demand, 
alternative sources, costs of production, transportation facilities, regulations and numerous other 
factors. Unlike factory production with specific and forecastable production schedules, quarry 
extraction and processing tend to be intermittent in nature. For this reason, the most accurate way 
to calculate average daily trips for gravel production is to focus on annual production and divide 
by the hauling capacity of the trucks that are used to move the material. Historically, Big River 
and its predecessor, Osburn Rock Products, have produced an average of around 20 deliveries 
(40 trips; 20 trips "out" and 20 trips "in") of processed rock per day. This proposed application is 
expected to maintain the average daily delivery of crushed rock at between 18 and 20 truck 
deliveries per day (36 to 40 trips per day). The turning movement counts indicate that 98% of the

rock will travel west toward Seaside and Camion Beach. These numbers and estimates are 
confirmed by the applicant. 
Jurisdiction - Highway 26 is a State Highway and ODOT has sole jurisdiction over access to the 
highway. The Clatsop County Transportation System Plan confirms that ODOT maintains 
jurisdiction over Highway 26 (see Clatsop County Transportation System Plan, Section 2, 
page 1-10). 
Existing Access - Big River's predecessor sought and obtained approval for the existing access 
point at milepost 2.66. As part of the approval process, a right-turn deceleration lane (eastbound) 
was constructed to assist traffic movements associated with haul trucks decelerating and making a 
right turn into Big River's quarry operations. The permit is ODOT Pemi.it #51361, application 
identification number 2933. Consistent with ODOT regulations, the access permit is valid 
indefinitely. Consultation with ODOT access personnel in Astoria confirms that the ODOT 
access permit allows 40 trips per day through the access point. 
The existing ODOT access permit is significant on a well-traveled state highway such as 
Highway 26 because it allows ongoing operations of the same type to continue as long as such 
operations are consistent with ODOT's change of use regulations (OAR 734-051-0110). As 
demonstrated in the application, Big River will not change the nature and type of operations and 
will maintain all truck traffic within the existing limits granted in the approved ODOT access 
permit. Because these conditions will be met, there is no additional transportation analysis 
required. Access is directly onto a state highway and that access is currently in existence and 
approved. Generally, an operation using an existing approved access will have the least negative 
impact on transportation facilities in the area. Using the existing ODOT-approved access, 
including the existing right-turn deceleration lane, is an effective mechanism to avoid traffic 
impacts, allows for efficient use of the highway system, allows for efficient use of the adjoining 
land served by the access, and contributes to the overall convenience of access to the site through 
the use of an appropriate and ODOT-regulated access point. Because no changes in the existing 
traffic pattern arc involved, continuing use of the existing ODOT-approved access is the least 
disruptive and has the least negative impact on public transportation facilities. The 
ODOT-approved access has in the past, and will continue in the future, connected efficient and 
convenient internal truck routes on site with direct, convenient and efficient routes to off-site 
market destinations for mineral and aggregate material while providing a practicable level of 
safety.

There is no significant pedestrian, bicycle or other non-vehicular use of Highway 26, but 
use of the ODOT-approved access will continue to provide an adequate environment on 
Highway 26 for the development of non-motor vehicular modes of transportation. We have 
reviewed the traffic-related standards of the County's land use ordinance and standards 
document, and it is our opinion that the transportation access and routing proposals of the 
application, including use of the existing ODOT-approved process, comply with all applicable 
county requirements, given the County's limited jurisdictional role and the lack of change in the 
proposed ongoing operations. 
Transportation System Plan Analysis - The PAPA application is a Comprehensive Plan 
amendment and, therefore, it must be analyzed under the Goal 12 transportation planning goal 
which is implemented by LCDC's Division 12 transportation planning rule (OAR 660-12-0000). 
For a Comprehensive Plan change, the operative provision is OAR 660-12-0060. This provision 
provides that when there is an amendment to an acknowledged Comprehensive Plan that would 
"significantly affect" an existing or planned transportation facility, the local government shall put 
in place measures to ensure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, 
capacity and performance standards on the transportation facility, in this case Highway 26, The 
rule also defines the term "significantly affects." A Comprehensive Plan "significantly affects" a 
transportation facility if it would: 
"(a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation 
facility (exclusive of correction of map errors in the adopted plan); 
(b) Change the standards implementing a functional classification system; or 
(c) As measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted 
transportation system plan (2023 for Clatsop County): 
(A) Allow land uses or levels of development that would result in types 
or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or 
planned transportation facility; 
(B) Reduce the performance of an existing or planned transportation 
facility below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in the TSP or 
Comprehensive Plan; or 
(C) Worsen the performance of an existing or planned transportation 
facility that is otherwise projected to perform below the minimum acceptable performance 
standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan." 
The purpose of the "significantly affects" definition is to ensure that proposed land uses 
are consistent with the identified function, capacity and performance standards of the 
transportation facility at the end of the planning period and the TSP. In this particular situation, 
as no new truck trips are requested above the currently approved level in the ODOT-access 
permit, the total amount and type of traffic to and from the site will not change from the level

previously approved in the conditional use application by Clatsop County and approved by 
ODOT in its access permit. Accordingly, there will be no change in the functional classification 
at any existing or planned transportation facility in the area. There also will be 110 change in the 
standards that implement the functional classification system within the general area. Also, as 
measured at the end of the planning period, the requested resource expansion at the Ordway 
quarry cannot, and will not, allow land uses or levels of development that are inconsistent with 
any existing planned transportation facility in the area that would reduce performance of such 
planned transportation facility below the minimum accepted standard identified in the Clatsop 
County Transportation System Plan or Comprehensive Plan, or would worsen the performance of 
an existing or planned transportation facility. Simply stated, given the number of trips currently 
approved for access at the site for the quarry use, there can be 110 measurable effect from this 
application hat would adversely affect any transportation facility or reduce the performance of 
any existing transportation facility in the area. Because 110 additional trips will be generated by 
the proposed Comprehensive Plan change and further because the traffic generated by the quarry 
has already been reviewed and approved by ODOT in 2003 when it issued the access permit, 
there cannot, and will not, be measurable effect from the proposed request 011 any existing or 
planned transportation facility nor can there be, nor will there be, any measurable worsening or 
performance on any existing or planned transportation facility for the quarry operations, as 
measured at the end of the transportation system planning for Clatsop County (2023) or as 
measured at 20 years in the future of this application (2027). hi addition, Clatsop County's 
Transportation System Plan assumes an annual growth rate of 1,7% of traffic 011 Highway 26 (see 
TSP, Future Travel Demand. Section 3, page 1-2). The figure assumes that traffic from all 
sources 011 Highway 26 will grow at an annual growth rate of 1.7%. Applicant's truck trips are 
limited by the terms of its existing access permit and the Ordway quarry cannot contribute their 
proportional share of the 1.7% annual growth rate that is attributed to the highway. As such, Big 
River's continued use and compliance with the existing access permit acts as a cle facto 
transportation demand management/transportation system management mechanism that 
eliminates any adverse effect from the quarry. Therefore, any traffic associated with this land use 
request, measured at the end of the planning period set out in the Clatsop County TSP, cannot 
allow land uses or levels of development that would be inconsistent with the functional 
classification of transportation facilities in the area, cannot reduce the performance at any existing 
or planned transportation facility in the area below the minimum acceptable performance standard 
in the TSP, and cannot worsen the performance of any existing or planned transportation facility 
in the area that is otherwise projected to perform below the minimum standards set out in the

TSP. ODOT and the Clatsop County Transportation System Plan both predict that 
Highway 26 will operate at an unacceptable Volume to Capacity ratio by the end of the 
transportation planning period in 2023 (i.e. both ODOT and the County predict that 
Highway 26 will "fail"). However, Big River's confirmed and continued use of the 
exist ing access for quarry operations (at MP 2.66) has no effect on this systemic "failure" 
which is attributable solely to additional traffic from other sources 
Potential Alternatives and Traffic Analysis - Notwithstanding its intention to use the existing 
access at mile point 2.66, Big River has had preliminary discussions with ODOT about options 
that might provide acceptable alternatives to the continued use of the existing access. As 
indicated in the application, if an alternative access program were to be developed, Big River 
would need approval for additional truck deliveries per day and would need assurance from 
ODOT that any required improvements to Highway 26 as a condition of changing the access 
would not result in unreasonable improvement requirements that are beyond the capability of Big 
River and are not reasonably related to the smaller size of the company's aggregate operation at 
the Ordway quarry. 
To facilitate discussion of the alternatives during the planning process, we have assessed 
two potential scenarios. The following scenarios were considered; 
Alternative 1; The configuration of the existing access at mile point 2.66 would be 
changed to "in-only." Trucks would be routed on a circular pattern through the quarry and 
through existing forest roads on the Weyerhaeuser property to the existing approved access point 
near Vollmcr Creek at mile point 2.26. The exit at mile post 2.26 would be designated "out-only" 
for Big River aggregate haul trucks only (Weyerhaeuser traffic would continue to use the 
property for "in" and "out" traffic). This alternative requires no change of use for the existing 
access at mile point 2.26 which is continually used by Weyerhaeuser forestry trucks. 
Alternative 2: As with Alternative 1, the existing access point at mile point 2.66 would 
be converted to "in-only" and traffic would be routed through the quarry and out through an 
existing driveway to Highway 26 at mile post 2.50. The access point at mile post 2.50 would be 
"exit-only" for haul trucks. 
Stopping Sight Distance - Stopping sight distance (SSD) is the length of roadway a driver needs 
to see an object in the roadway, recognize that an emergency stop is required, apply the brakes 
and bring the vehicle to a stop. The driver's eye is considered to be 3.5' above the roadway and

Ea.\ 503-364-1260 
3 ' from the centerline of the roadway. The object height is 2.0'. SSD is an important design 
parameter when designing crest vertical curves (hills) and sag vertical curves (dips) in a roadway. 
It also comes into play on curves as drivers round a bend. It is one reason high speed roadways 
have large radius (gentle) horizontal curves. 
In this instance the concern will be whether a driver on the highway can see a stopped 
truck slowing to turn into the proposed access to the Big River Rock Products site in time to 
safely stop. The required SSD on an ODOT roadway like this one is 730 ft. This assumes that a 
55 mph posted speed has a 70 mph design speed and that AASHTO standards are used. The 
Alternative 2 access has adequate stopping sight distance in both directions. Westbound vehicles 
have 1140' of SSD, east of the access. Eastbound vehicles have over 1250' of stopping sight 
distance, west of the access. 
Intersection Sight Distance - Intersection Sight Distance (ISD) is the length of roadway a driver 
on the minor approach at an intersection needs to see an oncoming vehicle so he or she can safely 
pull out into traffic. Generally the left turn from a minor road onto a major road is the controlling 
ISD. For instance when a driver with a load of rock is stopped waiting to exit at the existing site 
and turn left toward Seaside, the driver needs to see cars approaching from the right, then look 
left and see any cars approaching from the left and still have enough time to glance right and then 
accelerate into the westbound lane without forcing a westbound car to brake unreasonably hard to 
avoid a collision. The ODOT ISD in this instance is 775' for standard vehicles. Loaded trucks 
with trailers (rock product trucks) turning onto a highway from a stop on the minor approach take 
4 seconds longer to get up to speed than other vehicles, At 70 mph an approaching vehicle will 
travel 410' in the 4 seconds. So the ISD needs to be 1 1 8 5 4 1 0 ' longer than normal. 
The Alternative 2 access, the ISD for drivers stopped at the end of the driveway is 2000' 
to the left (west) and 1800' to the right (east), hi this instance more than adequate intersection 
site distance exists to meet the current ODOT and AASHTO standards.

(LOS / delay/v/c) 
Relative Analysis to Potential Alternatives 1 and 2 - Tables 2 and 3 show the relative analysis 
of levels of service (LOS), delay and volume to capacity (v/c) for Alternatives 1 and 2. The 
tables demonstrate that both alternatives will currently operate at acceptable levels of service. 
The analysis of the potential alternatives assumes that the 30th highest hour volume in the summer 
is 1,219 vehicles in the hour. There is an ATR (automatic traffic recorder) at mile post 7.73 on 
Highway 26. The July traffic counts were adjusted to estimate the 30th highest hour. We again 
note that the 3011' highest hour occurs Sunday afternoon when the Ordway quarry is closed. 
Considering all of the analysis, if an alternative was adopted, the better choice would be 
Alternative 1. This option would allow Big River to use the existing deceleration lane at the 
existing access point for "in-only" movements to allow gravel truck traffic to integrate with 
Weyerhaeusercontinuous and ongoing forestry uses when exiting at the ODOT-approved exit 
at mile point 2.26. Again, both O D O T and the County Transportation System Plan project 
that Highway 26 will "fail" by end of the planning period (the preferred Volume to 
Capacity ratio will be exceeded). Again, this has nothing to do with Big River's 
operations and projected "failure" of H ighway 26 would occur even if N O traffic were 
generated by the Ordway quarry. Accordingly, there may be valid reasons for O D O T to 
consider alternative access options, and Big River has indicated its willingness to explore 
alternative access options if additional average daily trips would be allowed and the costs 
of improvements would not be prohibitive. Continuing use of the existing access or 
consideration of alternative access would be consistent with the N H S Truck Route 
designation of Highway 26 (See O D O T Corridor Plan, Page 8 and County TSP, Section 
5, page 1-9) and with the O D O T Corridor Plan Objectives which encourage private

t imber landowners to utilize existing access points to Highway 26 ( O D O T Corridor Plan, 
page 111.22) 
Conc lu s ion - Big River 's ODOT access permit at the existing entry (mile point 2.66) 
provides valid, adequate and proven access to the site. Continued use of the site at the 
levels proposed does not implicate the Transportation Planning Rule because no 
transportation facility (in this case Highway 26) is "substantially a f fec ted" by continued 
operations , Safety considerations were previously determined to be acceptable before 
the issuance of the existing access permit. Given the nature of the part icular land use and 
transportation facilities in the area, continued operations at the existing s i te as proposed 
by Big River will have the least negative impact on the transportation system. However, 
there may be valid reasons for O D O T to consider and adopt Alternatives 1 or 2 and the 
County's decision should allow flexibility for these options to be considered.

Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
Executive Summary 
Big River Ho ld ing (Big River) currently has a condi t ional use permit to 
mine and process aggrega te material f rom Ordway Quarry , a hard rock 
quarry on approx ima te ly 16 acres of Clatsop County T a x Lot 101, located 
approximate 2.5 mi les east of the Highway 101/Highway 26 intersection 
in Clatsop County (see F igure 1). Big River is apply ing to expand the 
boundary of the min ing extraction area at the site to approx imate ly 46 
acres in size and have that area designated as a s ign i f icant Goal 5 resource 
site using the Oregon S ta tewide Planning Goal 5 process . T o help 
facilitate the use of the Goa l 5 process, Big River is reques t ing that 
Clatsop County des igna te an area larger than the min ing extract ion area as 
a Quarry and M i n i n g ( Q M ) Overlay Zone within the County . 
To help in the p repara t ion of materials for their appl ica t ion , Big River 
asked Da iy -S tand lec & Associates , Inc. (DSA) to conduc t a noise s tudy 
and assist in deve lop ing a mining plan that would ensure the noise 
radiating f r o m m i n i n g act ivi t ies at the expanded O r d w a y Quarry would 
meet the noise cri teria specif ied in Oregon ' s S ta tewide P lann ing Goal 5. 
The results o f the no i se s tudy show that noise generated by all operat ions 
proposed on the site inc luding blasting activities, excava t ion related 
activities, c rush ing and screening activities at the O r d w a y Quarry be tween 
7 a.m. and 6 p .m. can be minimized to demonst ra te compl i ance with the 
D E Q noise regula t ions at all noise sensitive receptors a round the quarry if 
specif ic noise mi t iga t ion measures are included in the min ing plan.

Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
1. Introduction 
Big River currently has a condit ional use permit to mine and process aggregate 
material f rom Ordway Quarry , a hard rock quarry on approximately 16 acres of 
Cla tsop County T a x Lot 101. Big River is applying to expand the boundary of the 
min ing extraction area at the site to approximate ly 46 acres in size and have that 
area designated as a s ignif icant Goal 5 resource site using the Oregon Sta tewide 
P lanning Goal 5 process. T o help in the preparat ion of materials for their 
applicat ion, Big River asked Da iy -S tand lee & Associates, Inc. (DSA) to conduc t a 
noise study and assist in deve lop ing a min ing plan that would ensure the noise 
radiat ing from mining activit ies at the expanded Ordway Quarry would mee t the 
noise criteria specif ied in O r e g o n ' s S ta tewide Planning Goal 5. 
This report presents the results of the noise study conducted by D S A between 
June and September of 2007 and the conclus ions drawn f r o m those results. 
2. Overview of Proposed Mining and Processing Operations 
2.1. Site Description 
Ordway Quarry is located approx imate 2.5 miles east of the Highway 
l O l / H i g h w a y 26 intersection in Cla tsop County (see Figure I). T h e proposed 
extraction operat ions area at the quarry (def ined as the area within which ei ther 
act ive mining operat ions or support opera t ions such as overburden s torage or 
ext rac t ion-dependent activit ies can occur) will general ly fall within the area 
fo rmed by the 180 foot contour line a round the hill located on T a x Lot 100, 800 
and 900, just west of H i g h w a y 26 (see Figures l and 2). Howeve r , the p roposed 
act ive mining area within the proposed extraction operat ions area will genera l ly 
be bounded by the 180 foot contour line along the east side of the area and t he 
250 foot contour line on the west s ide of the area. The min ing area will genera l ly 
fo l low a transition line f rom the 250 foo t contour line to the 180 foot contour line 
on the north and south ends. The proposed extraction opera t ions area will over lay 
port ions of Clatsop County T a x Lots 5-10-14-800, 900, 1001 and 1203 and T a x 
Lots 5-10-100 and 101 (See Figure 2).

2.2. Proposed Mining and Processing Pian 
Mining operat ions current ly occur on Clatsop County Tax Lot 5-10-101 at the 
approximately 300 foot elevation of the south end of the nor th-south oriented hill. 
To extend the min ing area at the quarry, Big River p roposes to cont inue their 
exist ing mining opera t ions in a westerly direction and take t he west wall of the 
exist ing mining area d o w n to the elevation of the exist ing f loor at the mine (the 
300 foot elevat ion) . O n c e the west wall has been excavated d o w n to the 300 foot 
elevation, the c o m p a n y proposes to move excavation e q u i p m e n t to the top of the 
hill and begin fo rming west fac ing benches on the west s ide of the hill away from 
view of residences to the east, southeast and northeast . T h e benches will 
generally be 30 to 40 foot high and vary in width f rom 20 to 40 feet across. The 
benches will genera l ly t raverse the length of the west s ide o f the hill. 
Once the benches are fo rmed on the west side of the hill, m i n i n g will generally 
progress easterly wi th the goal of a lways leaving a rock wall a long the east 
boundary of min ing area to block the line of sight be tween r e s idences to the east 
and min ing activit ies on the west. 
Dur ing the beginning o f mining on the west side of the qua r ry , resource material 
will be pushed f r o m the wes t s ide of the top of the hill over the north face of the 
exist ing mining area (which is basically the south end of t h e n e w mining area). 
The material will fall to the 300 foot elevation f loor of the ex is t ing mining area 
and it will be crushed and screened in basically the same genera l area where 
crushing and sc reen ing current ly occurs at the quarry . O n c e enough resource 
material has been r emoved from the southwest corner of t he hill, the crushing and 
screening plant may be moved around to the west s ide of t he hill to further 
provide mit igation o f noise radiating from that e q u i p m e n t to res idences to the east 
and southeast . 
Eventual ly, all m in ing and process ing operat ions will occur on the wes t side of 
the hill so that noise radiat ing f rom the site is min imized by the natural barrier 
provided by the hill itself. 
Big River will genera l ly excavate at the "center" of the hill. T o accompl ish this, 
the c o m p a n y will be fo rming a " b o w l " in the hill with the final top edge of the 
bowl at an e levat ion of 180 feet above sea level a long the east s ide of the hill and 
250 feet above sea level on the west side of the hill. T h e s o u t h w e s t portion of the 
215061-R1 5 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
bowl edge may end up between 250 and 300 feet above sea level depending on 
how much rock is actually found below the topsoil in that area and the north end 
of the bowl may be as high as 270 feet above sea level. At this time, the plan is to 
mine the rock f rom the hill in such a manner that there is a lways a natural barrier 
located between the east side of the mine and the excavat ion equipment to the 
west. T h e top of the wall on the west side of the hill will end up higher than that 
on the east side. However , the plan will be to cont inue using the benching 
approach to mine be low the final elevation on the west s ide of the mine and 
ensure the west s ide of the mine is taken down before the east side. In other 
words, min ing activit ies on the west s ide of the mine will never be at an elevation 
above the top o f the wall on the east side. The elevat ion of the east side of the 
mine will a lways be higher than any mining activity on the west side of the mine. 
In creating a bench, a dozer is first used to r emove overburden from the side of 
the r idge where the bench will be developed. If the rock is weathered, it can 
possibly be ripped apart with the dozer and pushed over the edge to the floor of 
the quarry. If the rock it too hard to rip, a rock drill will be brought in to drill 
holes for explos ive charges that will be used to break the rock in a controlled 
manner . T h e blast ing will cause the rock to crack and much of it will fall to the 
quarry floor but some of it will remain on the bench. To r emove the remaining 
portion of the rock that did not all to the floor, the doze r will move back into that 
area and push the material down to the quarry f loor . T h e material that falls to the 
quarry f loor will be scooped up by a front-end loader and transported to a portable 
crushing and screening plant located on the quarry f loor . 
The por table c rush ing and screening plant will be located on the quarry f loor 
during the life o f the quarry. The equipment will be posi t ioned near the working 
face of the quarry . O n c e the crushing and screening plant is more than 
approximate ly 500 feet from the point where the resource material is pushed from 
the benches to the quarry floor, the equipment will be relocated closer to the 
working area. 
2.3. Hours of Operation 
Mining, p rocess ing and hauling operat ions are p roposed to occur at Ordway 
Quarry between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday th rough Friday and 8 a.m. and 5 
p.m. on Saturdays . There will be no operat ions on Sundays or normal holidays.

3. Noise Descriptors 
Sound is the term given to var ia t ions in air pressure that are capable of being 
detected by the human ear. Small f luctuat ions in a tmospher ic pressure (sound 
pressure) const i tute the physical proper ty measured with a sound pressure level 
meter, Because the human ear can detect variations in a tmospher ic pressure over 
such a large range of magni tudes , sound pressure is expressed on a logar i thmic 
scale in units called decibels (dB). 
The human audi tory response to sound is a function of the m a g n i t u d e of the 
sound, the f r equency spectrum o f the sound (the specif ic pitch c o m p o n e n t s of the 
sound) , the duration of the sound , and the exis tence of other sounds. It is diff icul t 
to descr ibe a sound with a s ingle number because of the many pa ramete r s that 
inf luence the human auditory response . However , over the last 20 to 25 years, 
there have been a s ignif icant n u m b e r of acoust ic studies which have helped 
provide noise descr iptors that correla te well with the human response . 
Studies have shown conclus ive ly that at equal sound pressure levels, people are 
genera l ly more sensi t ive to certain higher f requency sounds (such as m a d e by 
speech, horns, and whistles) than lower f requency sounds (such as m a d e by 
motors and engines) 1 . To address this preferential response to f r e q u e n c y , the A-
weighted scale was developed. The A-weighted scale ad jus t s the sound level in 
each f r equency band in much the same manner that the human audi tory system 
does. T h u s the A-weighted sound level (read as "dBA") b e c o m e s a s ingle number 
that def ines the level o f a sound and has s o m e correlat ion with the sensi t ivi ty of 
the human ear to that sound. 
The A-weigh ted sound level a lone, however , is not suff ic ient to descr ibe the noise 
env i ronment at any given locat ion, due to the fact that env i ronmenta l sound levels 
tend to change f requent ly with t ime. Therefore , an env i ronmenta l no i se 
descr iptor needs to address the length of t ime sound is present as wel l as the level 
of the sound. One envi ronmenta l noise descriptor used widely t h roughou t the 
United States is the "Statistical Sound Level ." T h e statistical sound level is given 
as "LXXs" which cor responds to the level exceeded " x x " percent of the speci f ied 
D. W. Robinson and R.S. Dadson, "A Re-Determination of the Equal-Loudness Relations for Pure 
Tones," British Journal of Applied Physics, vol. 7, pp. 166 ~ 181, 1956. (Adopted by the 
International Standards Organization as Recommendation R-226. 
215061-R1 7 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
measurement time. For example , the L50 would be that level exceeded 5 0 % of the 
t ime dur ing a specified t ime period. Typically, in noise regulat ions and standards, 
the specif ied t ime period is one hour. 
In this study, statistical noise levels are used to quant i fy the min ing generated 
noise because the D E Q noise regulat ions are written in terms of statistical noise 
levels, 
4. Noise Criteria 
Big River is apply ing for operat ing permits under Oregon ' s S ta tewide Planning 
Goal 5 rule (Oregon Adminis t ra t ive Rule 660-23-180) . The Goal 5 rule requires 
that noise confl ic ts be identified and minimized within 1500 feet of a min ing site 
(unless there is compel l ing reasons to extend the distance out fur ther than 1500 
feet). N o i s e conf l ic ts are considered minimized under the rule (OAR 660-23-
180(! ) ( f ) ) when the Oregon Depar tment of Environmental Qual i ty ( D E Q ) noise 
regulat ions (OAR 340-035-0035) are met . Therefore , noise generated by the 
proposed mining opera t ions was assessed using the criteria set forth in the Oregon 
Depar tmen t of Environmenta l Quali ty Noi se Control Regulat ions , O A R Chapter 
340 Division 35, Sect ion 340-035-0035, "Noise Control Regula t ions for Industry 
and Commerce" . 
T h e Oregon D E Q noise regulat ions are written for exist ing noise sources and new 
noise sources . An exist ing noise source is def ined in OAR 340-35-015(17) , as 
any noise source which was in operat ion prior to January 1, 1975, and a new noise 
source is considered under the regulat ions to be any noise source c o m m e n c i n g 
operation af ter January 1, 1975. Mining operat ions are believed to have begun at 
Ordway Quarry some t ime prior to 1980. In the 1990 's and early 2 0 0 0 ' s , Osburn 
Brothers Rock, L L C operated the quarry and in 2006 , Big River purchased the 
rights to the quarry f rom that business. Because Big River purchased the rights to 
the quarry site in 2 0 0 6 it is possible to conc lude that the opera t ions at the quarry 
under Big River Excavat ing ownersh ip could be considered a n e w noise source at 
the quarry as def ined by the D E Q noise regulat ions . If that conc lus ion is reached, 
then the operat ions at the quarry would be required to meet the noise control 
regulat ions for n e w noise sources. 
215061-R1 8 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
The DEQ noise regulat ions for n e w noise sources are broken into two parts: 
regulations for new sources located on previously unused sites (commerc ia l or 
industrial sites) and regula t ions fo r n e w sources located on prev ious ly used sites. 
A previously unused site is de f ined in OAR 340-35-015(47) as any property on 
which industrial or commerc ia l act ivi t ies have not occurred dur ing the 20 years 
prior to commencemen t of the act ivi ty in question. As stated earlier, it is believed 
that mining operat ions began at the Ordway Quarry somet ime prior to 1980. It is 
known that, within the past 20 years , operations were conducted at the quarry by 
the Osburn Brothers, L L C and their predecessors. Thus, under the D E Q noise 
regulations, the quarry site wou ld be considered a previously used site. 
With regard to the status of the expans ion area relative to the "p rev ious ly 
used/previously unused s i te" def in i t ion , the Oregon D E Q in the past took the 
position that when an opera t ion expanded onto cont iguous p roper ty , the noise 
generated by the operat ion on the expansion area would be regulated by the rules 
for previously used sites, ra ther than be subjected to the m o r e restr ict ive ambient 
degradation standard for p rev ious ly unused sites. Given this his tor ic pract ice by 
the organization that enforced the noise regulations, the noise generated by 
equipment in the expans ion a rea at the Ordway Quarry will be limited by the 
section of the regulation that relates to new sources located on "p rev ious ly used 
sites". 
O A R Chapter 340-35-035 ( l ) ( b ) ( A ) o f the noise regulat ions states that a new 
noise source located on a p rev ious ly used industrial or commerc ia l site shall not 
radiate noise that exceeds the m a x i m u m al lowable hourly stat ist ical Loi, Lio, and 
Lso sound levels at any appropr i a t e noise sensitive receiver locat ion. A n 
appropriate noise sensi t ive rece iver location is defined in subsec t ion (3)(b) as any 
point 25 feet from a res idence , motel , church, school or hospital or the property 
line of the noise sensi t ive p roper ty , whichever is farther f r o m the noise source. 
T h e max imum al lowable hour ly statistical noise levels are s h o w n in T a b l e 1.

Note 1: The L 0 | , L |0 , and L 5 0 noise levels are those levels equaled or exceeded )%,

OAR Chapter 340-35-035(1 )(d) of the noise regulat ions also states that an 
industrial or commerc i a l noise source shall not generate impuls ive sounds that 
exceed max imum a l lowab le sound pressure levels at an appropr ia te noise 
sensitive receiver location def ined above. An impulsive sound is def ined by OAR 
340-35-015 as ei ther a s ingle pressure peak or a single burst (mul t ip le pressure 
peaks) for a durat ion of less than one second. For blasting, the sound pressure 
level at an appropr ia te noise sensitive receiver location shall not exceed 98 dBC, 
as measured using the s low response mode of a sound level meter . For all other 
impulsive sounds, the sound pressure level at an appropria te noise sensi t ive 
receiver location shall not exceed 100 dB, as measured using the peak response 
mode of a sound level mete r . 
According to O A R 340-35-035(1 )(f), median octave and one- th i rd oc tave band 
level s tandards are app l i cab le when the Director has reasonable cause to believe 
that the requi rements of subsect ions ( l ) (a ) , (b), or (c) of this rule do not 
adequately protect the health, safety, or welfare of the public as provided for in 
ORS Chapter 467. T h e m a x i m u m al lowable day t ime median oc tave band levels, 
shown in Table 10 of O A R 340-35-035, are by defini t ion, equiva len t to spectral 
L50 levels and sum to an overall total of 55 clBA. This is identical to the 
max imum a l lowable d a y t i m e L50 in ' f ab le 1 above. However , because there are a 
large possible n u m b e r of combina t ions of spectral (octave band) levels which sum 
to 55 dBA or less, which do not meet the maximum a l lowable oc tave band levels 
in Table 10, and which do not have strong tonal character is t ics , the m a x i m u m 
al lowable median oc tave band levels are clearly intended to establ ish a higher 
215061-R1 10 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
standard for special cases, as de te rmined by the DEQ Director. T h e median 
octave band ievel s tandards in subsec t ion are intended to ensure that noise sources 
with strong tonal characterist ics, such as can be generated by con t inuous ly 
operating whistles, turbines, and fans , for example, are held to a h igher standard 
than required by subsect ions ( l ) ( a ) , (b), or (c). 
According to the Oregon Depar tmen t of Environmental Quality ( D E Q ) , the DEQ 
has never applied the octave band or one-third octave band criteria to a quarry 
operation because there are no s t rong tonal noise sources that are present long 
enough to pass the hourly " m e d i a n " level test for applying the s tandard . Because 
none of the noise sources at O r d w a y Quar ry are expected to genera te s t rong tonal 
characterist ics which would qua l i fy fo r special consideration under O A R 340-35-
035(1 )(f), the max imum a l lowable med ian octave band levels in T a b l e 10 will not 
apply. 
Under O A R Chapter 340-35-035(5) (c ) , the sounds created by the t ires or moto r 
used to propel any road vehicle are e x e m p t from the limits set out in O A R 340-
35-035 but are required to c o m p l y with the limits set out in O A R 3 4 0 - 3 5 - 0 3 0 , 
Noise Control Regulat ions for In -Use Moto r Vehicles. O A R 340-35 -030 
establishes noise limits for road veh ic les and trucks engaged in inters ta te 
commerce . S ince the off -s i te road vehic les used to haul gravel out o f O r d w a y 
Quarry site are expected to c o m p l y with the DEQ standards for road vehic les , 
they do not need to be included in the noise analysis. 
The DEQ regulat ions address sound created by back up beepers. O A R 340-35-
035(5)(a) states that "warn ing dev ices not operat ing cont inuous ly fo r m o r e than 5 
minu tes" are exempted f rom the rules in Section (1). N o n e of the back up beeper 
warning devices used at O r d w a y Quar ry is known to have been opera ted or is 
expected to operate cont inuous ly for m o r e than 5 minutes in an hour . Wi th 
respect to the D E Q regulat ions for road vehicles, O A R Chapter 3 4 0 - 3 5 - 0 3 0 ( 3 ) ( b ) 
s imply states, Motor vehicle warn ing devices are exempt f rom these regula t ions . 
Therefore , the sounds created by the expected use of back up beeper w a r n i n g 
devices are not regulated by the Oregon DEQ and are not included in the noise 
analysis. 
A copy of the D E Q regulat ions is presented in Append ix A of this repor t .

Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
5. Overview of the Noise Analysis 
In conduct ing the noise analysis , the fol lowing steps were taken: 
1. The loudest hourly statistical noise levels that could ever be generated during 
the daytime hours (7 a .m. to 6 p.m.) at the site were predicted at res idences in 
the vicinity of the site. T h e residences chosen were considered to be 
representative of the res idences in the area with the greatest potential of 
receiving noise that would exceed the appropriate criteria. 
2. The loudest hour noise levels predicted at the residences were compared to the 
limits specified in the "Noise Control Regulat ions for Industry and 
Commerce" ( O A R Chapter 340, Division 35 - Oregon Depar tmen t of 
Environmental Qual i ty (DEQ)) . 
3. In addition to the predict ions made at individual noise sens i t ive receivers, 
predict ions were made to de termine the " D E Q Noise C o m p l i a n c e B o u n d a r y " 
for the site. The "DEiQ N o i s e Compl iance Boundary" de f ines the area within 
which noise from the min ing operat ions would exceed the D E Q noise 
regulation limits. Outs ide the boundary the noise would be less than or equal 
to the regulation limits. Goal 5 [OAR 660-23-180 (4)(a)] states that the 
impact area, "shall be limited to 1,500 feet from the boundar ies of the mining 
area, except where factual information indicates s igni f icant potential confl ic ts 
beyond this d is tance ." In this study, the area where the no ise levels would 
exceed the DEQ regulation without mitigation is considered the impact area. 
6. Existing Environment around Ordway Quarry 
6.1. Surrounding Land Use 
T h e land surrounding O r d w a y Quarry is general ly zoned for agr icul ture or 
forestry use (AF and F-80) with some areas zoned for res ident ia l /agr icul tural use 
(RA-I and RA-2). The F-80 zone , Forest-80, overlays a ma jo r i t y of the proposed 
min ing area and all of the property immedia te ly west of the proposed min ing area 
and the area immediately south of the mine site. The AF zone , Agr icu l ture-
Forestry, overlays the exis t ing mining area and all the proper ty immedia te ly 
southeast of the mine site as well as a parcel of land north o f the proposed mining 
area. The RA zone over lays the property immediately east o f the proposed 
min ing area and the zone general ly fo l lows a long both the east and wes t s ides of 
H i g h w a y 26 in the direction south of the mine site. 
U.S. Highway 26 t raverses along the eastern side of the qua r ry and separa tes the 
quar ry property from res idences to the east, T h e Edgewate r hous ing deve lopmen t 
215061-R1 12 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
is located immediately eas t /southeast of the quarry and it includes as many as 20 
homes between Highway 26 and the Necan icum River. There are approximately 
4 homes constructed east of the quarry on large parcels of land between Highway 
26 and the Necanicum River. Nor th o f the quarry, there are approx imate ly 3 
homes between the h ighway and the r iver and two homes immediate ly north of 
the quarry located jus t west of H i g h w a y 26. Southeast of the quarry, there are 
several homes located on both the east and west side of Highway 26 
approximate ly % mile away. 
The nearest residence south of the quarry is located on the wes t s ide of Highway 
26 approximately 1200 feet f rom the exis t ing crushing and screening plant located 
at the quarry. Due to the fact that a berm has been constructed along the south 
edge of the crushing and screening plant at the quarry, there is no direct line 
between the plant and the res idence . 
Other residences to the southeast and east of H ighway 26 are located between 
1225 feet and 2400 feet f rom the exis t ing crushing and screening plant and in 
each instance, the earthen berm located along the southern edge of the aggrega te 
processing site blocks the line of s ight between the equipment and the residence. 
The nearest residence to the east is located approximately 750 feet the eastern 
boundary of the proposed expans ion area at the quarry. 
The nearest residence to the north is located approximate ly 750 feet f rom the 
north end of the proposed expans ion area 
There are no residences southwest , wes t or nor thwest of the quarry si te and the 
property is totally devoted to t imber product ion for the Weyerhaeuse r T imber 
C o m p a n y . 
6.2. Topography and Vegetation 
O r d w a y Quarry is current ly genera l ly located on the south end of a nor th-south 
oriented hill. The proposed fu ture quar ry boundary includes the s u r f a c e of the hill 
bounded generally by the 180 e levat ion line going around the hill. T h e terrain at 
the site is generally sloped d o w n w a r d in all direct ions from the top of the hill to 
its base. 
The site is currently covered with a mix ture of hardwood and coni fe r t rees that 
will be removed within spec i f ic areas prior to excavat ion within that area . Trees 
215061-R1 13 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
will be left on the undisturbed portions of the site where mining activities are not 
proposed unless Weyerhaeuser Company, the owner of the property elects to 
harvest the timber for their needs. 
7. Predicted Future Noise Levels 
Future mining-generated noise levels were predicted at 9 noise sensitive receivers 
(residences) located near Ordway Quarry (see Figure 3). The selected receivers 
represented the receivers in each direction of the quarry with the greatest potential 
of receiving quarry generated noise levels that could exceed the maximum 
allowable noise limits specified in the DEQ noise regulation. 
In addition to the noise levels predicted at specific residences, calculations were 
made to predict the location in different directions from the quarry where the 
noise radiating from the quarry would exceed the DEQ maximum allowable noise 
limits. The results of these calculations were used to determine the " D E Q Noise 
Compliance Boundary" around the site. The "DEQ Noise Compliance Boundary" 
defines the area within which noise from the mining operations would exceed the 
DEQ noise regulation limits. Outside the boundary the noise would be less than 
or equal to the regulation limits. 
7.1. Noise Prediction Methodology 
Established acoustical formulas for outdoor sound propagation were used to 
predict the noise levels that will radiate from the excavation, processing and 
loading operations (Handbook of Acoustical Measurements and Noise Control, 
Third Edition, Cyril M. Harris, McGraw-Hill Inc., 1991). The formulas calculate 
the sound pressure level at a receiver due to any number of sources and account 
for sound attenuation due to distance, atmospheric conditions, barriers and 
vegetation. 
7.2. Source Data Used In Analysis 
Mining Equipment Reference Noise Data 
According to the applicant, equipment used on site could possibly include a: 
• CAT D8 dozer - possibly used to remove overburden and push aggregate 
material down to the floor of the mine 
• CAT 966 front end loader - used to load trucks

Blas t ing Noise 
Blast ing m a y occur at Ordway Quarry if the resource material is too hard to be 
r ipped with a dozer or excavator . If b las t ing occurs, it is expected occur no more 
than once every few weeks for those a reas where blasting is required. 
Blas t ing at aggregate quarries is conduc ted in a manner that breaks up the rock 
but does not cause it to fly out f rom the su r face . The intent of the blas t ing is to

experts will drill holes at specif ic locations and specific depths into the rock 
depending on the type of rock and hardness of the rock. The holes will then be 
loaded with charges and de tona tors and they will be set to explode in a prescribed 
grouping by including delays between detonations. A blast is a sequential series 
of smaller blasts set to occur over a finite period of time. Thus , with this 
approach, there is less noise and less fly rock generated by the blast. 
Noise generated by quarry blast ing depends on all the factors described above. It 
has been the exper ience of DSA that professional blasters can size their blasts to 
ensure the noise will meet the D E Q noise criteria for blasting (see discussion 
about blasting criteria in the Noi se Criteria section of this report). We have 
witnessed blasting at quarr ies on past projects where the noise levels at h o m e s 
within 350 feet of the blast were well within the limits specified in the D E Q noise 
regulations. However , to demons t ra te that blasting at the Ordway Quar ry can be 
in compl iance with the D E Q noise regulation limits at all res idences around 
Ordway Quarry, a prediction was made using reference data measured at a quarry 
in Canyonvil le , Oregon last year . T h e data was measured in line of s ight of the 
blast at that quarry so the level measured was only influenced by the d is tance 
between the measu remen t location and the blasting location. Tab le 3 presents the 
reference data used in the Ordway Quarry blasting noise analysis . It is important 
to note that the mining plan for the Ordway Quarry does not p ropose blast ing that 
will be in the line o f sight of exis t ing residences.

7.3. Assumptions Used in Predicting Loudest Hour Noise Levels 
Radiating From Ordway Quarry Operations 
T h e noise predicted to radiate from the equipment in the Ordway Quar ry site 
dur ing the loudest hour does not represent the noise that will be produced dur ing 
typical operat ions at the site. Instead, DSA modeled the loudest noise that could 
possibly radiate to su r round ing residences dur ing the life of the project . It 
therefore represents the loudest possible case. It should be pointed out that the 
noise levels predicted at each res idence would not occur at the s a m e t ime. 
215061-R1 17 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
instead, the loudest noise at each residence would occur on ly when the equipment 
is nearest that residence. 
It should also be pointed out that the loudest hour operat ing condi t ions assumed 
will mos t likely never occur , but to ensure the loudest potential hour levels are 
predicted, the model included the fol lowing assumpt ions : 
• The crushing and screening plant ( including a genera tor and front end 
loader at the plant) will be operating cont inuously at the quarry floor. 
» A rock drill or the dozer will be operat ing cont inuous ly throughout an 
entire hour at the su r f ace of the exist ing ground in the excavat ion area at 
the point nearest each receiver. 
• There will be a f ront -end loader operat ing cont inual ly dur ing the hour to 
scoop up and t ransport resource material f rom the quar ry work ing face to 
the crushing and screening plant. 
» There will be a f ront-end loader operat ing con t inuous ly dur ing the entire 
loudest hour to load off-s i te trucks. 
® T h e e f fec t s of a tmospher ic absorption, vegetat ion, and topography are 
included in the noise model where appropria te . 7 0 % humidi ty and 50 
degrees Fahrenhei t were assumed in predict ing the no i se level, T h e noise 
level at the receivers will be slightly lower, if the humid i ty is lower or if 
the temperature is higher (e.g., during the s u m m e r mon ths ) . 
7.4. Analysis Results 
Table 4 presents the loudest hourly Loi, Lio and Lso noise levels predicted to 
radiate to Receivers 1 through 9 during the life o f the quarry a s suming no man 
made noise mitigation measu res are used at the quarry . A g a i n , it should be noted 
that the predicted levels are a very conservat ive representa t ion of the loudest hour 
noise levels that could ever possibly occur. It should also be noted that the noise 
level shown for a res idence in Table 4 will not necessari ly o c c u r s imul taneous ly 
as that predicted at the o ther residences. For instance, the m a x i m u m noise levels 
at the res idences to the sou th will occur when the opera t ions are closer to those 
res idences . M a x i m u m noise levels to the east will occur w h e n the proposed 
opera t ions are closest to those residences. And, m a x i m u m noise levels at 
res idences on the north will occur when the opera t ions are near the north end of

Again , it should be ment ioned that the levels in Table 4 do not represent the 
typical condi t ions expected to be found at the residences and they should not be 
considered representat ive of the noise levels that will be found at the res idences 
dur ing normal operat ing condi t ions at the quarry. 
8. Discussion of Mining Generated Noise Levels 
The noise levels shown at each receiver in Table 4 were found to be control led by 
the noise radiating from a dozer or rock drill operat ing near the edge of the 
min ing area nearest the receiver in direct line of sight of the receiver . A 
compar ison of the noise levels in Tab le 4 with the m a x i m u m a l lowab le statistical 
noise levels shown in Tab le 1 indicates the noise radiating f rom a rock drill or 
dozer toward those receivers could exceed the D E Q noise regula t ion l imits at 
several of the residential receivers at s o m e t ime during the years of min ing at the 
quarry ]f noise mit igation measures are not incorporated into the min ing plan. 
The noise radiat ing f rom the rock drill and dozer were found to have a s ignif icant 
inf luence on the results presented in T a b l e 4. During the course of conduc t ing the 
215061-R1 19 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
noise analysis , it was realized that presenting the results in Tab le 4 without some 
explanation of what it represents does not present full an accura te picture of the 
noise that will typically radiate from the mine site. It should be remembered that 
the rock drill or dozer will not operate near the eastern boundary of the mine site 
until many years in the fu ture . A s discussed earlier in the ove rv iew of the 
proposed mining operat ions, the min ing plan calls for excavat ion operat ions to 
m o v e to the west side of the hill once the southwest corner of the hill has been 
excavated down to the 3 0 0 foot elevation. By forming and mining a long benches 
on the west s ide of the hill, a rock drill or dozer will not be in direct line of sight 
of receivers to the east, southeas t and northeast for many years af ter mining 
begins in the expansion area. It is only when the mining opera t ions m o v e east of 
the north-south center! ine of the hill, and only when the equ ipmen t operates at the 
upper bench in that area will there be a potential of having the dozer or rock drill 
in direct line of sight of res idences . 
It should be fur ther ment ioned that, in those instances when a rock drill and dozer 
could potent ial ly operate on an upper bench east of the nor th-south center line of 
the hill in direct line of s ight o f receivers, the equ ipment wil l likely operate for a 
week at mos t before it m o v e s out of the line of sight of res idences because it 
would be work ing on the bench in line of sight only long enough to bring the top 
of the bench down below the line of sight. And once the bench was dropped in 
elevat ion, the equipment wou ld be moved to a lower bench to cont inue mov ing 
the min ing operat ions down toward the quarry f loor. 
Without the inclusion of the noise from a rock drill or doze r in direct line of sight 
of receivers on the east s ide of the hill, the hourly statistical noise levels reaching 
the receivers were found to be m o r e than 10 dB below the m a x i m u m al lowed by 
the D E Q noise regulations. In o ther words, the noise from excava t ion operat ions , 
c rushing and screening opera t ions and truck loading and hau l ing opera t ions on the 
west s ide of the hill out of s ight of receivers was found to be well be low the DEQ 
limits. There fore , it is only those t imes when a rock drill o r doze r operates on the 
east s ide o f the north-south center line of the hill in direct line of s ight of a 
receiver when the noise at a receiver could potentially exceed the D E O limits. 
215061-R1 20 October 10, 2007 
Goal 5 Application Noise Study 
9. DEQ Noise Compliance Boundary 
In addition to predict ing noise levels at specif ic residences, calculat ions were 
made to determine the area around the quarry where the DEQ noise regula t ions 
would be met wi thout the use of man made noise mitigation measures . Figure 4 
shows the DEQ noise compl iance boundary for activities at the quarry with the 
equipment operat ing as described in Section 7.3 of this report assuming that there 
would be no mitigation measures included in the mining plan. T h e f igure should 
be interpreted in the fo l lowing manner : 
The loudest possible hour o f quarry generated noise will be equal to or less 
than the D E Q noise regulat ion criteria in all areas outside the " D E Q N o i s e 
Compl iance Boundary" . T h e loudest possible hour of quarry generated 
noise will exceed the D E Q noise regulation criteria at all points inside the 
" D E Q Noise Compl i ance Boundary" . 
Again it should be ment ioned that the placement of the boundary to the east is 
controlled by the assumpt ion that at some t ime during the life of mining at the 
site, the rock drill or dozer could be in direct line of sight to the proper ty east of 
the hill. The p lacement of the boundary to the west is controlled by the noise that 
will radiate from all activit ies at the mine including the crushing and screening , 
the excavation and the loading and hauling by trucks at the site. T h e bounda ry 
extends further to the wes t than it does to the east due to the assumpt ion that all 
sources would be opera t ing s imul taneously and due to the fact that there will be 
an increase in the a m o u n t of sound radiating to the west caused by sound 
reflecting off the west fac ing bench walls.

10. Mitigation 
As stated earlier in the "Discuss ion of Mining Generated Noise Levels" section, 
mit igation of the noise radiating f rom the Ordway Quarry to acceptable levels can 
be achieved by reducing the noise radiat ing f rom the rock drill or the dozer when 
that equ ipmen t has the potential o f being in line of sight of homes on the east s ide 
of the hill. It was found through the analysis that when a rock drill or dozer was 
in direct line of sight of a residence located within 1400 feet of the equipment , the 
noise reaching the residence f rom the equ ipment should be reduced. The specif ic 
point on the ground where that condit ion occurs was found to depend on the 
d is tance between the dozer or rock drill and the edge of the hill and the elevation 
on the hill. Table 5 provides the dis tance between rock drill (or dozer) and the 
edge o f the hill where the equipment first c o m e s into line of sight of residences in 
three direct ions; southeast , east and northeast . The distances are given for 
d i f fe ren t e levat ions on the hill. When the dozer or rock drill are within these 
d is tances of the edge , some addit ional form of mitigation would be required to 
ensure the noise radiat ing f rom the equ ipment would remain in compl iance with 
the D E Q noise regulation at all receivers.

10.1. Potential Noise Mitigation Measures 
The noise radiating f rom the rock drill or dozer can be reduced to within an 
acceptable ievel in those areas where required by placing a physical barrier 
between equ ipment and a receiver. Based on the results of mitigation 
calculat ions, an 8 foot high noise barrier of either an earth benn or solid barrier 
a long the edge of the hill will be suff icient to reduce the noise at receivers to 
within the D E Q limits. If the source is a rock drill and a solid barrier is used, the 
barrier can be moved close to the drill to reduce the length required to provide the 
mit igat ion. Th i s is a c o m m o n technique used to control and mitigate rock drill 
noise. If a dozer is the source, a number of mitigation methods are avai lable to 
min imize and control noise including construction of a berm or wall a long the 
edge of the bench, use of residential muff lers , intermittent operat ion or using an 
excavator instead of the dozer. Use of one or more of these me thods will provide 
noise compl iance .

11. Conclusions 
The results of the noise study conducted by Daiy-Standlee & Associa tes , inc. 
show that noise generated by typical operat ions at the O r d w a y Quarry will be in 
compl iance with the DEQ noise regulat ions the need of any m a n m a d e mitigation 
measures. At those t imes when a rock drill or dozer operate east of the nor th-
south center line in direct line of sight of a residence, the noise reaching the 
residence could exceed the D E Q noise limits if the source opera tes for more than 
30 minutes per hour, DSA found that, with mitigation of the rock drill or dozer 
noise at those t imes when the equ ipmen t operates in line of s ight of a residence, 
noise radiating from the equ ipment will be in compliance with D E Q noise 
regulations. Noise mitigation can be achieved through the u s e of noise barriers.

In the event an applicant in the future would request a Batch Plant for these properties, such 
request shall be subject to the County's Type IV procedure and the post acknowledgement

current permit from the Oregon Department of Transportation. No increase in the number of 
Average Daily Vehicle Trips is requested or allowed. No queuing (Lining Up) of truck Traffic on 
Highway 26 shall be permitted. 
4. Should Big River wish to expand operations and increase truck trips, they would be required to 
pursue the circular alternative access as described in the application (i.e.: "In-Only" at the Existing 
access point - Mile Post 2.66 and "Out - Only at either mile post 2.50 or Vollmer Creek Road -
Mile Post 2.26), such alternative access is allowed by this approval provided that ODOT 
requirements are met and/or an ODOT permit is granted to the operation for the alternative access. 
Big River shall initiate the process with ODOT within 30 days of the expiration of all appeal 
periods for the Land Use Approval. 
5. Operator shall obtain, and maintain, a valid Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral

potential alternative access points shall be changed to the QM Zone. Access Roads are allowed 
within the 200-foot Buffer Strip. 
16. A 200 Foot wide Zoning Buffer Strip along portions of the Southerly Boundary of Tax Lot 1203

PAPA Application 
Big River Holdings, Inc. 
Ordway Quarry, Highway 26 
Dear Planning Commission Members: 
Pursuant to the schedule established at the Planning Commission hearing on 
January 8, 2008, both the applicant and opponents have submitted additional information by the 
January 22, 2008 deadline for closure of the record established by the Commission. This letter 
will serve as the applicant's rebuttal. No new evidence is being submitted with the rebuttal 
letter. 
Attached to this letter is the eight-step guideline summary prepared by the Oregon 
Department of Land Conservation and Development and the Department of Transportation 
DLCD's Guidelines provide a step-by-step process for the Planning Commission to follow in 
making a decision on this application. The DLCD Guidelines were previously submitted into the 
record as part of Exhibit 7. 
STEP 1 
Step 1 of the PAPA process is to determine whether or not the mineral and 
aggregate resource is significant. Significant is defined in the PAPA rule as rock which:

Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 2 
- meets the Oregon Department of Transportat ion's specifications for base rock; 
- has an estimated amount of material more than 500,000 tons outside the 
Willamette Valley; 
- meets any local government standard establishing a lower threshold for 
significance (250,000 tons in Clatsop County); or 
- is on the County's aggregate inventory as a significant resource. 
The Ordway Quarry is on the Clatsop County inventory but not as a significant 
resource site. Part of Big River's request is to move the application to the significant inventory 
to support this request. A Registered Professional Geologist has unrebutted evidence that the 
Ordway Quarry and expansion area contains approximately 8 million tons of aggregate material. 
This is significantly in excess of the 500,000 tons required outside the Willamette Valley (under 
the PAPA rule) or 250,000 tons required under the Clatsop County ordinance. In addition, the 
Registered Professional Geologist and testing laboratory confirm that a representative set of 
samples of aggregate material from the Ordway Quarry meets the specifications for base rock for 
three important tests: air degradation, abrasion and soundness. 
There is no contrary information in the record and the PAPA rule guides the 
Planning Commission to determine that the site is significant. 
STEP 2 
Step 2 under the PAPA rule requires the Planning Commission to consider an 
impact area around the Ordway site where mining, if allowed, might conflict with existing or 
approved land uses. As explained in the applicant's presentation before the Planning 
Commission, local jurisdictions generally try to limit the impact area as much as possible to 
avoid placing potential restrictions on surrounding property but still protect the mineral and 
aggregate resource. Evidence submitted by the applicant, and unrebutted by any opponent, 
suggests to the Planning Commission that the appropriate component for determining the impact 
area is noise. Noise radiates from activities on the mining site and can cause conflicts (or 
impacts) away from the quarry. The Goal 5 PAPA rule presumes that an impact of 1,500 feet is 
appropriate. As explained at the hearing, the 1,500 foot presumptive impact area was selected 
because this distance coincides with the common distance necessary to dissipate unmitigated 
noise impacts from a mining operation. Applicant presented substantial and unrebutted 
testimony that its mining plan will greatly reduce the presumptive 1,500 foot impact area on the 
Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 3 
northerly and easterly sides of the quarry. By reorienting mining operations and maintaining a 
"lip" of rock between operations and residences to the northeast, applicant's sound engineers 
were able to determine the precise noise compliance line which should serve as the impact area 
(this is the light blue line that appears on Figure 5 of the Daly Standlee & Associates Engineer's 
Noise Study and is produced on page 7 of applicant's Exhibit 7). The impact area is designed to 
protect the mineral and aggregate resources from conflicts that cannot be minimized under the 
Goal 5 rule. Inside the "blue line" impact area, the Ordway Quarry may have trouble meeting 
noise compliance standards. However, outside the line, the noise standards will be met at all 
times with mitigation conditions that are attached to applicant's application and recommended by 
the sound engineers. Because applicant can mitigate noise at the blue mitigation line and there is 
no evidence of any conflicts extending beyond the noise mitigation line, we believe the 
appropriate impact area to be defined in Step 2 is the blue line impact area (Figure 5 of the Daly 
Standlee & Associates Engineer's Noise Study.) Figure 5 was previously submitted into the 
record and a copy is attached for your convenience, 
STEP 3 
Step 3 requires the County to identify conflicts with existing and approved land 
uses within the impact area. "Conflicts" are defined in the Goal 5 PAPA rule as a use or activity 
subject to land use regulations that would interfere with, or be adversely affected by, mining or 
processing activities at a significant mineral and aggregate resource site. The Goal 5 PAPA rule 
limits consideration of conflicting uses to five categories: 
(a) conflicts due to noise, dust or other discharges; 
(b) potential conflicts with local roads used for access and egress to the mining 
site; 
(c) safety conflicts with existing public airports; 
(d) conflicts with other identified Goal 5 resource sites within the impact area; and 
(e) conflicts with agricultural practices. 
Conflicts that were identified during the hearing that meet the PAPA criteria include noise, dust 
and other discharges (e.g., stormwater discharges). There are no other identified Goal 5 
resources within the impact area and the record clearly shows there will be no impact on the 
Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 4 
Necanicum River, a nearby identified Goal 5 resource for fish habitat. Applicant's materials 
demonstrate that it will continue to handle all stormwater discharges on site. The ODF&W letter 
does not identify any basis for a stormwater conflict with the Necanicum River. Testimony 
about stormwater issues clearly related back to the Osbum operation and no stormwater 
problems have been associated with the Big River operation. 
There was also testimony about traffic conflicts. However, it is important for the 
Planning Commission to remember that potential traffic conflicts to be considered under the 
Goal 5 rule are limited to LOCAL roads that are used for access and egress. The Ordway 
Quarry has permitted access directly onto Highway 26, a state arterial and designated truck 
transportation route. No local roads are used for access or egress to the mining site. 
Accordingly, there are no potential conflicts with local roads. See, Morse Bros. v. Columbia 
County, 37 Or LUBA 85 (1999), aff'd 165 Or App 512. 
There are no significant agricultural activities or practices in the area and no 
agricultural conflicts were identified. As indicated in the testimony, there is no safety conflict 
with the public airport in Seaside which is more than five miles away by line of sight. 
Accordingly, the only conflicts for the Planning Commission to identify in the process are noise, 
dust and stormwater discharges. 
STEP 4 
Once conflicts are identified, the Planning Commission must determine 
reasonable and practical measures that would eliminate conflicts. Language of the PAPA rule is 
mandatory ("shall") and requires a good faith effort by the Planning Commission to determine 
reasonable and practical measures that, in fact, can minimize noise, dust and stormwater 
discharges. 
In determining whether or not these three conflicts can be minimized, the 
Planning Commission must keep in mind the rule's definition of what it means to minimize a 
conflict. Under the rule, a conflict is minimized when an identified conflict is reduced to a level 
that is no longer significant. For those types of conflicts addressed by state, local or federal 
standards (such as the DEQ noise standard), to minimize a conflict means to ensure compliance 
with the applicable standard. 
With regard to noise, Daly Standlee acoustical engineers performed a detailed 
analysis and study of the site and concluded that reasonable and practical measures exist to 
minimize noise outside of the "blue line" impact area. These include reorienting the applicant's 
Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 5 
planning operations, maintaining a lip of rock between quarry activities and residential uses to 
the north and northeast, and altering the operation of equipment on the site by using mufflers and 
portable screens for certain types of equipment when that equipment is less than 1,400 feet from 
any residence in the area in a direct line of sight. We note the noise engineers assumed the 
extreme worst case analysis and even using a worst case analysis, noise conflicts can be 
minimized at all residences in the area. Big River has requested conditions that will ensure noise 
compliance measures are met, The record supports the conclusion that noise impacts can be 
minimized through reasonable and practical methods, 
With regard to dust, the applicant has provided numerous, reasonable and 
practical dust suppression methods. Of particular interest, the Washington State Department of 
Ecology (DOE) publication submitted into the record outlines a number of practical methods that 
can be used to minimize dust. These include minimizing truck speed, The applicant has 
requested a condition that requires trucks to travel no more than 15 miles per hour on the 
operational portions of the site. The Washington DOE guidelines also suggest the use of a water 
truck to moisten truck paths. Applicant has a water truck and has requested a condition requiring 
its regular use. The Washington DOE guidelines also suggest paving roads where possible to 
minimize dust. Applicant has agreed to pave the main road from the entry to the scale station, a 
distance of approximately 250 feet. The Washington DOE guidelines provide that placing gravel 
on internal truck routes significantly reduces the dust associated with truck traffic on roads. Big 
River has graveled all of the internal roads on the site. All these methods are reasonable and 
practical methods for minimizing dust. 
The crusher used on the site holds, and will continue to hold, an air contaminant 
discharge permit. A copy of the permit is contained in the record. Compliance with the DEQ air 
contaminant discharge permit for the crusher is also a reasonable and practical method for 
minimizing dust. 
With regard to stormwater, Big River has handled stormwater without incident 
since taking over the quarry from the Osburn Bros, operation. The proposed reorientation of the 
quany requested with this PAPA will allow Big River to provide a larger area in which to handle 
stormwater and direct stoimwater internally on site to make sure there are no adverse stormwater 
effects offsite, including sedimentation and streams. Handling stormwater in this manner is a 
reasonable and practical measure that will minimize any offsite stormwater conflicts. 
Because the conflicts that have been raised (noise, dust and stormwater) are 
minimized by Big River in its current operations, and will continue to be minimized with the 
conditions that are requested with the approval, the Planning Commission must conclude that 
Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 6 
conflicts are minimized. Because conflicts can be minimized through reasonable and practical 
methods, conflicts ESEE (Step 5 of the PAPA process) is not required at this time. 
STEP 6 
Based on the PAPA process and considering the minimization of conflicts, the 
Planning Commission must next determine whether or not to allow mining. Because the 
resource is significant, because a reasonable and appropriate impact area can be defined, and 
because all identified conflicts are minimized through reasonable and practical measures, the 
Goal 5 rule directs the Planning Commission to allow mining. Mining has been taking place on 
the site for more than 25 years and a determination to continue to allow mining through 
expansion onto the Weyerhaeuser property will greatly aid in reducing any conflicts that have 
occurred in the past. 
STEP 7 
Once the determination has been made to allow mining to continue at the Ordway 
Quarry, the PAPA rule requires an "ESEE analysis.1' The ESEE analysis requires the Planning 
Commission to review the economic, social, environmental and energy consequences related to 
the allowing conflicting uses (such as residences) in the impact area. Step 7 is the reason why 
most local jurisdictions attempt to make the impact area as small as possible. When an applicant 
minimizes its conflicts (such as noise radiating from operations), the area and number of uses 
that must be evaluated through the ESEE analysis is reduced by the size of a smaller impact area. 
The smaller the impact area, the smaller the number of uses that must be evaluated under the 
ESEE analysis. It makes sense for local governments to follow the PAPA rule's mandate to 
identify reasonable and practical measures to minimize conflicts so the impact area will be the 
smallest possible and the ESEE analysis will affect the smallest area. 
In this particular application, applicant's mining plan and the reasonable and 
practical measures applicant has proposed to reduce conflicts have allowed for a small impact 
area on the north/northeasterly side of the operation where residences are located. The impact 
area does not include any existing uses and all residences are outside the impact area because the 
Ordway Quarry has demonstrated that it can minimize conflicts at all residences in the area. 
Accordingly, the ESEE analysis only needs to address the small portions of property within the 
"blue line" impact area and potential future uses that could be located on the property. Given the 
zoning in the area, it is unlikely that any landowner would be able to locate a second residence 
on his or her property. Zoning in the impact area is predominantly RA-2 and AF which are not 
favorably disposed to allowing multiple residences. However, the ESEE analysis provided by 
Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 7 
the applicant assumes that additional conflicting uses (residences) could be located in the impact 
area. The ESEE analysis balances economic consequences in a way we believe is appropriate. If 
additional conflicting uses (residences) were allowed in the impact area, it could have a large 
economic effect on permitted quarry operations because noise standards might not be properly 
complied with inside the "blue line" impact area. The economic consequences to landowners are 
not as significant because they still have the principal use of the property and areas within the 
impact area are unlikely to be approved for a new conflicting use (i.e., residence). We believe 
the economic prong of the ESEE analysis tips in favor of the Ordway Quarry. 
The social consequence analysis provided by the applicant balances the social 
benefit to the greater county community having a rare rock resource protected for the benefit of 
all community members versus the social dissatisfaction from neighbors in the area. We believe 
the ESEE analysis correctly concludes that because conflicts can be minimized, the social 
consequences of failing to protect the rock resource outweigh the social consequences of not 
allowing conflicting uses in the impact area. 
The environmental consequences analysis balances the environmental problems 
created for the quany by allowing a conflicting use (i.e., residence) within the impact area versus 
the environmental effects on a residence allowed within the impact area, We believe the ESEE 
analysis correctly reaches the proper balance. The ESEE analysis provides that the impact on the 
resource would be significant (potentially shutting the resource down if it could not control 
noise) versus using mechanisms to control noise within the impact area and thereby lessening 
impacts on the conflicting use. In addition, if the rock resource is not protected, additional 
environmental consequences would be created in hauling mineral and aggregate material from a 
larger distance using more fuel. We believe on balance, the ESEE analysis reaches the right 
conclusion with regard to environmental consequences analysis. 
With regard to the energy consequences, the ESEE analysis weighs the 
operational changes on aggregate extraction operations that could be caused by a residence in the 
impact area versus the energy consequences of installing double-paned windows or other 
methods to reduce noise impacts for residences within the impact area. Again, we believe the 
ESEE analysis is the proper balance between the resource and potential future conflicting uses in 
the impact area. 
We have attached a copy of the ESEE analysis previously submitted into the 
record on January 22, 2008. It is important for the Planning Commission to remember that the 
Big River has demonstrated that it can minimize impacts beyond the impact area and that the 
ESEE analysis is only applicable to areas within the impact area. In addition, it is important for 
Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 8 
the Planning Commission to remember that if an individual truly needs to build a residence 
within the small impact area identified, that person can work with the County and Big River to 
use mechanisms (such as waiver of remonstrance, noise easement or other type of written 
agreement) to waive noise compliance issues and allow the conflicting use to be constructed. 
Big River is not requesting that any construction be prohibited in the impact area. Rather, Big 
River provides the ESBB analysis to show that there could be problems with new residences in 
the impact area. If the County were to allow these uses, noise easements, waivers of 
remonstrance or other mechanisms, need to be used to prevent or eliminate economic, social, 
environmental or energy consequences to the resource. 
There are two additional issues that were raised at the hearing and need to be 
addressed in rebuttal. First, neighbors expressed concern about vibration and testified that 
vibration was coming from the quany. Prior to the close of the record, we submitted a letter 
from a Registered Professional Geologist that states the vibration from quany activities would 
not be perceptible at properties within Edgewater Terrace. The Registered Professional 
Geologist stated that the nature of the basalt resource and alluvial soils between the operation 
and Edgewater Terrace would not allow transmission of perceptible vibrations. The Registered 
Professional Geologist suggested that the probable source for any vibration concerns is the 
fast-moving traffic (i.e., logging trucks) passing by the development on Highway 26. We do not 
believe that vibration is a legitimate conflict. 
Second, the Planning Commission expressed concern about whether the mineral 
and aggregate resource at the Ordway Quany was "needed" given that there might be other rock 
resources in the area. As a preliminary matter, the current market demand for the rock resource 
from the Ordway Quany is significant and belies the question of whether or not it is "needed." 
Clearly, there is a need in the market or Big River would not be able to sell mineral and 
aggregate materials from the site and those sales would accrue to another location. In addition, 
the concept of "need" must include market competition, Without competing sources of rock, 
prices will rise. Because approximately 60 percent of rock materials produced in Oregon are 
purchased by public entities (counties, state, ODOT, etc.), the concept of "need" must also 
include the concept of competition to ensure a fair price is paid for mineral and aggregate 
resources. 
More importantly than the logical rebuttal arguments above, "need" is not an 
approval criterion that may be properly considered in the Goal 5 PAPA process. The concept of 
"need" is not a requirement of this process under any provision of the Clatsop County Zoning 
Code, Standards Document or Comprehensive Plan. The County's zone change criteria under 
Section 5.400 do not have a "need" component and specifically refer to the PAPA process for 
Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 9 
Goal 5 mineral and aggregate resources (contrast the County's variance proceeding under 
Section 5.130 under the Code where the requested variance must be "necessary"). Big River is 
not requesting a variance and there is no other plan provision, zoning code provision or standards 
document provision which establishes "need" as a consideration for a mineral and aggregate 
application. The County's Quarry and Mining Zone standards under Section 3.460 use the word 
"need" but not in a context that refers to the economic or market need for the mineral and 
aggregate resources. Rather, the QM zone provision (Section 3,470) refers to "need" in 
conjunction with the proper lot size for a quarry. The Standard states; 
"(1) Lot size shall be based upon: 
(A) The site need of the proposed use . . . ." 
This provision does not require consideration of whether the mineral and aggregate resource at 
the Ordway Quarry is "needed" in the marketplace. Rather, it instructs the Planning Commission 
to make sure the lot size is big enough based on the particular site where the resource is located. 
Even if a portion of the Clatsop County Code, Standards Document or 
Comprehensive Plan could be construed to add a "need" standard onto a mineral and aggregate 
application, consideration of "need" is not permitted under the PAPA rule. Under the old 
Division 16 rules, LUBA consistently ruled that "need" was not a proper determination in a 
Goal 5 proceeding under the Administrative Rule. In McCoy v. Linn County, 16 Or LUBA 295, 
LUBA stated: 
"Neither the goal nor its implementing administrative rule 
provide that need for the aggregate resource is a criterion for 
adding an aggregate site to a planned inventory, The county is not 
required by Goal 5 to adopt findings demonstrating a need for the 
aggregate in order to amend its plan to add the subject site to its 
plan inventory." 
Under both the Division 16 and Division 23 PAPA rules, LUBA and the courts 
have consistently ruled that even when a local government has a "public need" standard, such 
standard is preempted by the Goal 5 process. In Hegele v. Crook County, 44 Or LUBA 357, 
aff'd 190 Or App 376, the opponents argued that public need in the county's ordinance required 
a demonstration of "need" in the PAPA process. LUBA ruled that the application of the county 
"need" policy . . to petitioner's request to add this subject site to the county's inventory of 
significant aggregate resources is preempted by OAR 660-023-0180(7)." Similarly, in Eugene 
9 
Clatsop County Planning Commission 
January 29, 2008 - Page 10 
Sand & Gravel, Inc. v. Lane County, 44 Or LUBA 50, aff'd 189 Or App 21, LUBA stated that 
the local government cannot add local review standards, including such standards as "public 
need" on to the Goal 5 process. LUBA stated: 
"The Goal 5 rule for aggregate establishes a comprehensive 
regulatory scheme that is intended to supersede local review 
standards for aggregate." 
We believe that market sales from the Ordway Quany clearly demonstrate a 
"need" for the material. However, it is clear that "need" is not an approval criteria which can be 
applied by the Clatsop County Planning Commission in this matter. 
Big River has provided a well-supported and intelligently developed plan for 
activities at the Ordway Quarry. We believe the record demonstrates that conflicts can be 
minimized, that the impact area will affect only a small portion of other properties and that 
operations can be managed to reduce impacts on adjoining properties. We know our neighbors 
are concerned, but we also listened to the negative comments at the public hearing that were 
directed to our predecessor. We know that we will need to continue to work with our neighbors 
to comply with our requested conditions and maintain mutual respect and trust. 
The record demonstrates that the resource is clearly significant, The County's 
Comprehensive Plan describes significant mineral and aggregate resources as rare in the county 
and directs that they be protected. We respectfully request the Planning Commission adopt the 
Staff Report and recommend approval of the Big River application to the Board of 
Commissioners.

The 8 Main Steps In Reviewing a Proposed 
Plan Amendment for an. Aggregate Mining 
Site Under the New Goal 5 Rule 
1. Determine significance. 
Determine whether the aggregate resource site is 
significant enough to merit inclusion in the 
plan's inventory of aggregate resources, 
2. Define impact area. 
If the site is found to be significant, define the 
"impact area" where mining, if allowed, might 
conflict with "existing or approved" land uses , 
3. Identify conflicts. 
Within the impact area, identify conflicts 
{situations where noise, dust , traffic, etc., from 
the mining would adversely affect nearby land 
uses). 
4. identify ways to minimize conflicts. 
Identify "reasonable and practicable measures" 
that could be used to minimize such conflicts. 
5. Evaluate ESEE consequences of mining. 
If conflicts exist and cannot be minimized, 
analyze economic, social, environmental and 
energy (ESEE) consequences of allowing, 
limiting, or not allowing the mining. 
6. Decide whether to allow mining. 
Based on the ESEE analysis, decide whether to 
allow the mining. 
7. Evaluate ESEE consequences of new uses. 
If mining is allowed, evaluate the ESEE conse-
quences of allowing, limiting, or not allowing new 
conflicting uses in the impact area. 
8. Amend the plan. 
If mining is allowed, amend the local plan and 
land use regulations to reflect that decision and 
to protect the site for mining.

RE: Big River Ordway Quarry 
Dear Paul: 
In regards to your question about concerns expressed by some individuals in the 
proximity of the Ordway Quarry, specifically the Edgewater Terrace Subdivision, it is my 
experience as a geologist the periodicity and energy of routine mine methods employed 
at the Ordway Quarry will not result in vibration perceptible to humans. The distance of 
over 1500 feet, high energy/short period waveform of blast energy and transition from 
high density basalt to alluvial sediment will negate perceptible vibration. 
High speed, heavy traffic on nearby Highway 26 is a more likely source of vibration due 
to proximity and energy/waveform type. 
If you have any questions please call (541) 683-4997, 
Respectfully,

RE: Big River Request for a Zone Map amendment on Tax Lot 20, 5,10, 14, 
Ordway Quarry. 
My husband and I bought our house in 1997. It was built in 1976. Our house is 
located less than 34 mile east of the entrance to the quarry. 
We have seen the changes and problems with the quarry for about 10 years. 
When we first moved to our house the amount of work done in the quarry was 
almost non existent. In fact, we never did see a truck come out of the area until 
the previous owners, (Osburn Brothers), took over the operations. We have had 
to endure increase of truck traffic, noise of the operation, rocks and mud on the 
highway which has been a traffic hazard, as well as the addition of operations on 
the weekends. 
We are also concerned about the amount of time we have been given to review 
the 333 page Papa request. 
It is our understanding that the current request by the applicant could allow uses 
not currently allowed on the property. Our main concerns are: 
1. Concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt plant operations. 
a. Concern of noise increase, smell of the asphalt operations and dust 
increase. We are outside a lot in the spring, summer and fall 
seasons. 
2. Hours of operations. 
a. It is our understanding that the hours of operations is from 7:00am 
to 6:00pm. We do not want these hours to be expanded nor to 
include operations on the weekends. 
b. With ODOT's need of working at night from time to time, it is our 
concern that work will be allowed in the evening/night out of this 
quarry, especially if a ready-mix or asphalt plant is approved in the 
future. 
3. If the PAPA is approved we are concerned that the permits and 
amendments to obtain the use of a concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt plant 
will be allowed in the future. 
In the Papa request, it states that the Big River does not want to obtain an asphalt 
plant, ready-mix or concrete plant, but if they were approved in the future, the 
impact on our daily lives, (concerns of smell, dust and noise), could cause our use 
of our property to be adversely affected, not to mention our property value to be 
negatively affected as well. We want to go on record that we adamantly oppose 
the request of such plants. 
If the Planning Commission can approve Big Rivers request and permanently 
eliminate the possibility of any owners from using the property for concrete, 
ready-mix, or asphalt plants and not expand the hours of operations to more than 
7:00am to 6:00pm during the weekdays, then we would not be opposed to the 
Big River request. 
Sincerely, 
Anita & Bill Dotson

CC: <comdev@co. ciatsop. or. us> 
To whom it may concern, 
This ietter is written to inform you of our concerns regarding the changes to the existing land use of Big 
River Quarry. 
My husband Dennis and I live at tax lot 603 (milepost 2.4) which is directly across Hwy.26 from the quarry. 
On page 13 of one of the sections of the proposal regarding water run off, it is stated "activities have not 
had any effect on fish and wildlife..." 
This statement is very questionable because of the large amount of silting that has occurred to a salmon 
bearing stream/creek on our property. In the past I have taken photos and forwarded them to the D.E.Q. 
of evidence of the change in water color as it enters our property from the culvert which drains from the 
quarry into our creek. Someone from the Salem office came and investigated my concerns and had 
contact with the Osburns at that time, however, nothing changed. I have also kept Doug Ray aware of the 
changes to our creek. This unnamed creek runs into Vollmer Creek and hence the Necamcum. In years 
past, the water would be very low in the driest part of the summer but since the increased amount of silt, 
there are small standing pools of stagnant water. Because of the past history of non-compliance with the 
handling of the run off from the quarry, I am dubious about the the plan of water containment as written in 
the proposal unless there is close supervision. 
Another concern I have is the stability of the rock face directly across from our driveway/Hwy.26 access. 
Should the vibrations from the blasting destabilize that rock face there is the potential for Hwy.26 closure 
due to rock slides. 
The proposal does address noise pollution and states that neighboring home owners were contacted in 
the past. I would have thought that we would be part of those contacted because of our proximity to the 
source of the noise, however we were never contacted, and I would like to have recourse regarding the 
extended hours of the noise pollution occurring at our location. 
I would like to see a statement added that at NO time in the future would a cement plant be allowed at this 
location. 
Thank you for listening to my concerns of the changes to our once peaceful environment. 
Sincerely, 
Lesley Jackson

Re: Ordway Rock Quarry Expansion 
Mr. Weston: 
The Oi 'egon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has reviewed the request for a 
Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Map Amendment, Comprehensive Plan Text amendment, and 
Geologic Hazard Permit Application for the reconfiguration and expansion of the Ordway rock 
quarry on the property defined as T5N, R10W, Sec. 14, Tax lots 800, 900, 1000, 1001, 1203 and 
T5N, R10W Tax lots 100 and 101. 
It has recently come to our attention that some of the properties identified may have pending 
wetland fill violations. On January 31, 2006 Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) 
conducted a site visit and documented approximate 1000 yd3 of fill in wetlands. To our 
knowledge this matter has yet to be resolved. 
The following recommendations are provided for your review and consideration to address 
potential adverse impacts as a result of implementing this request. 
Riparian Areas 
ODFW recommends that no development occur within County-designated riparian setbacks 
(Clatsop County Standard 4.500). Any development within these areas which could result in a 
loss o f f i sh and wildlife habitat would require that the impact be mitigated consistent with current 
habitat mitigation standards (OAR 635, Division 415). Additionally, any areas within these 
setbacks impacted by prior activities should be restored, or mitigated for elsewhere as a condition 
of approving this request. 
Stream Crossings 
All stream-road crossings (including utilities) are to comply with fish passage requirements. 
Laws regarding fish passage may be found in ORS 509.580 through 910, and in OAR 635, 
Division 412. ODFW shall approve in advance any stream crossing, or replacement or 
modification of any existing instream structure or crossing. 
Wetlands 
All activities within wetlands shall comply with DSL Removal-Fill laws (ORS 196.795-990). 
ODFW recommends approval of this request be contingent upon the completion and compliance 
of all facets associated with any past or current wetland Removal-Fill infractions as determined 
by DSL. 
Thank you for the opportunity to review and provide comment. If you have any questions 
regarding this matter, or request any further information free to contact me anytime,

RE: Big River Request for a. Plan/Zone map amendment, Plan Text amendment at 
Ordway Quarry 
We are adjacent landowners to Big River Holdings, at the Ordway Quarry. The unnamed 
fish bearing stream that is to the south of the quarry bisects our Boundaries. When we 
bought our property in 1989, there was very little activity until 2002. Since then the 
activity greatly increased to the point that the Ordway Quarry no longer fit into our 
neighborhood. We understand again the current owners of the quarry; Big River 
Holdings are requesting a new change in the zoning and use of the property. In 
reviewing the extensive application that Big River has submitted, we asked our selves, do 
we need and attorney to properly interpret it? Then we ask how is this extensive 
application going to be enforced. The more we read the applicable approval criteria in 
the application and compare them to the findings the more concerns we have. The 
current restrictions were placed on this site because of its close proximity to residences, 
highways and waterways. With that in mind we ask that the following item, be 
considered to be added to the list of conditions: 
1) Permanently restricting any concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt batch plant from this 
sight. 
2) Not to allow Blasting on this sight, due to closeness to residences. 
3) Any previous violations on tax lot 1203 with ODSL are required to be resolved and 
work with ail concerned agencies to restore damaged wetlands. 
4) Not authorize the site for additional daily deliveries and still require the applicant 
adhere to the one-way traffic plan that ODOT stipulated. 
5) Not allow the 15005 impact area to be calculated from the internal boundary of the 
quarry but the external, to protect future conflicts from the currently 30 plus homes. 
The current operation levels have been tolerable but that has been only because of the 
current conditions that restrict the Ordway Quarry. Please consider that this quarry needs 
restrictions in order for it to be compatible in our neighborhood, The real test will be 
trying to implement these restrictions.

Dear Mr, Osburn: Rartdall Edwards 
State Treasurer 
Thank you for meeting with me on July'16, 2002 to inspect your property identified as 
T5N, R10W, S14 WM, TL 1203, The area filled and restored was partially within 
wetlands although as alf fill material has been removed no enforcement action wil! result, 
You mentioned an interest in constructing a berm along the North side of the entrance 
road in order to buffer the project from an adjacent residential area, Wetlands do exist 
North of the haul road within the property, However, a berm constructed parallel to the 
road and to the North side of the road within 1501 of the North edge of the road and no 
closer than 50' from the tributary to the Necanicum will not impact the wetlands so ; long 
as it does not extend West beyond the existing barn, 
if future earthmoving is anticipated outside the pit area outside other areas already 
identified as upland, a wetland delineation wil! be necessary. If such impacts are 
planned, please contact Kirk Jarvie, DSL permit coordinator for Clatsop County. He can 
be reached at (503) 378-3805 ext. 320, If you have questions regarding this letter 
please contact me at ext. 252,

Sub jec t : Ordway Quarry Expansion 
Hi Troy, 
Here:s a follow-up to our conversation this afternoon. As we discussed my reason for calling was regarding 
ODFW comments to Clatsop County on the proposed quarry expansion. I was recently informed of a past 
wetland fill complaint with Oregon Dept. of State Lands (DSL). Upon further investigation i found that this was 
true, and that this case is still open. A complaint noticed had been sent to the prior owner (Osburn Bros.) and that 
a site visit had been conducted with DSL. I understand that there was an agreement with the prior owner to 
conduct some stream restoration work with the local watershed council. This restoration work was voluntary and 
not part of any enforcement action though it was mentioned in DSL notes that corrective actions were to remove 
the fill after completion of the restoration project though the property has since changed ownership to Big River 
Const. As I stated to you ODFW will recommend to the County approval of the expansion should be conditional 
upon resolution of the wetlands fill with DSL. You've stated that Big River has not heard back from DSL regarding 
enforcement actions nor from the Watershed Council about the originally proposed stream restoration project. 
From what you and others have told me it sounds like some "open doors" were never closed. You also stated 
that Big River Const, is still open to the restoration project, i'm available to assist in resolving this unfinished 
business if you would like. I've copied Doug Ray who was involved on the restoration work and Joy Vaughan with 
State Lands to bring them in the loop. Again, we will be recommending approval conditional upon resolution with 
DSL and the wetlands fill, and I can provide you assists with that. Please feel free to fill in anything I might have 
left off. 
Thanks, Ron

Troy, 
It seems like you had a good conversation with Ron. Thank you for the consideration. I did take the co-blame 
responsibility with Ron (both Troy Laws and i should have saw this through with you) for not following up and to 
be honest with you feel badly we did not move forward with your initial good will and interest to implement what 
could be one of the very best Coho salmon habitat restoration projects ever done on the north coast with in the 
flatlands of the quarry. 
So with a big piece of crow with Tabasco sauce on it, please let me know how I can help work with you to restore 
very critical salmon habitat and help you to be successful with your quarry expansion. 
I have been getting calls from some of the land owners that are concerned who live nearby. 
As I said in the first conversations when you bought the land J am not keen to be involved in folks shouting at 
each, other but only in helping to make work solutions that work for the economy and ecology of the north coast 
which almost always can be done if people are willing to consider each other. 
1 was very grateful for the wonderful consideration to transport some of the large spruce from Lums which helped 
to make the project work so much better ( i t was the biggest wood used in the project) and even got a nice op ed 
from Steve Forrester not easy to dolThat all began with a site visit with Jim Rankin when we looked at the ER 
control plan. 
I would offer that if there is even only a conceptual plan for a large scale stream/alcove/wetland habitat restoration 
effort it would help alleviate some of the local neighbors concerns, and perhaps help to make the expansion better 
for every one. 
We have a 23k NOAA fisheries grant in right now that was just submitted in Wash. DC last week for a large 
alcove creation restoration on the Leslie and Dennis Jackson property just across the Hwy from the quarry( she 
had called me very concerned about the environmental impacts )and the large sediment releases prior to Big 
River owning the site.The opportunity to do so much more on a larger scale exists on your land. 
I am not dear on the details of all the concerns of neighbors, type of operations, hours etc but I do know that a pro 
active proposal can only help every one understand that with the need for hard rock to support the growth of the 
north coast economy, there can also be very important salmon habitat restoration and you can make the case 
that with out the economics of your company the restoration work would be much harder to accomplish! 
There are also grants available Troy for some of the work though you are in a very UNIQUE position to have all 
the tools needed to construct and restore the habitat!! 
Please accept my apologies for not following up in the past to help make this work but let me know if you would 
like to talk further to outline what could be a incredible salmon habitat restoration project on your lands that in 
1 /3/2008 
some ways are surplus to your needs to operate the quarry in it's expanded role, 
best fishes,

RE: Big River Request for a Zone Map amendment on Tax Lots 800,900,1000,1001,1203, 5 10 14, and 
5 10 100(portion of) and 101, Ordway Quarry 
This letter is from the Edgewater Terrace Home Owners association. Currently there are QJ) members -
home owners in our subdivision. The Subdivision was platted in 1978 and we have owned homes in this 
area for approximately 30 years. Our entrance to the subdivision is adjacent and across Highway 26 from 
the entrance to the Ordway quarry currently being used to haul gravel and rock. 
Our home owners have seen many changes to the quarry over the last 20 to 30 years. The quarry did not 
exist when our subdivision was platted and many of our homes were built. It is now our understanding 
that the current owners of the quarry. Big River Rock are requesting a new change in the zoning and use 
of the property. While the recent increase in truck traffic has impacted our main entrance by dodging 
rock trucks as well as having rock fall off the trucks and litter our road entrance, we have been patient 
and tolerated the current use. 
It is our understanding that the current request by the applicant, Big River could allow uses not currently 
allowed on the property. Specifically Section 3.466 Development and Use Permitted states the following 
uses: 
1) Surface or subsurface mining 
2) Concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt batching plant accessory to and on the same site as an existing or 
approved surface or subsurface mining operation and subject to t he standards in the Light Industrial (LI) 
zone Section 3.448(3). 
3) Offices, warehouses and maintenance buildings appropriate to uses permitted in the district. 
4) Forestry 
5) Farm use 
6) Low-intensity recreation 
7) Rock crushing subject to standards in Section 3.470 
8) Property line adjustment 
The during recent meetings with the applicant we have been told that the company does not intend to 
construct or use Concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt batching plants. The Big River representative has 
indicated to several of the home owners that they have specifically requested the concrete, ready-mix, or 
asphalt batching plants uses have been eliminated from their requested use. We find their specific 
response is stated as follows: 
Findings: The applicant is requesting approval to mine, crush, and stockpile rock on the site, and to use 
the site for uses accessory to that. Applicant does NOT request concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt batching 
plants at the site. The requested uses fall within the uses permitted by this Section. This Criterion is met. 
Based on this response by the applicant it does appear that they do not want the concrete, ready-mix, or 
asphalt batching plants uses, however if the zone change is approved it appears it will be allowed in the 
future. If this is the case we want to go on record that adamantly apposed to this request. 
If approval of this request includes the Asphalt and concrete plant uses there is inadequate information 
submitted to prove the impact on the surrounding area and homes will be acceptable. The impact on our 
iscn

r i i m 
homes would not be acceptable. 
If the Planning Commission can approve their request and permanently eliminate the possibility of the 
current owners or future owners form using the property for concrete, ready-mix, or asphalt batching 
plants then the Edgewaters Home owners association would not be opposed to the Big River Request.

Please note for the record our opposition for the current proposal as presented by the 
applicant and his attorney. It is too aggressive and does not address the concerns of the 
current residential community near the pit. 
It has no buffer to the R2 areas near it and is not consistent with State land use planning 
guidelines. Drainage issues and salmon habitat are not addressed. Access and egress is 
not clearly defined to date. The applicants' attorney response to residents concerns was 
vague and inadequate and left too little time to respond. 
Ryan Osburne made the same kinds of pitches a few years ago and failed to abide by his 
word to the commission and residents and constant problems have resulted. Does the 
Commission wish to police this project after the current applicant is set up and then sells 
to another company? I bet not. Neither do I or my wife or the other residents in the area. 
We have been down this primrose path once before. 
Please keep the record open on this matter until at least after the February 12th 
Commission meeting that is scheduled.

Dear Planning Commissioners: 
At a meeting of the Edgewater Terrace Home Owners Association, an email 
from Paul R Hribernick was discussed. It was agreed by all present that the 
proposal from Mr. Hribernick was inadequate in al! areas and did nothing to 
address the concerns of the Home Owners. 
We would like to propose that the public hearing be kept open until after the 
February 12,2008 Planning Commission meeting so we might have time to work on

Dear Planning Commission and Planning Staff: 
The Edgewater Terrace Homeowners Association are proposing that the record be kept 
open until after the February 12, 2008 Planning Commission hearing. The homeowners 
association doesn't have enough time or information to agree to any of the proposed changes 
such as: 
1. The proposed buffer of 100 ft. is too aggressive and certainly not enough 
2. We don't see an adequate plan for blasting or plan on who is governing this? 
3. The entrance currently used is a traffic hazard. Is there ODOT approval for an 
entrance change? 
4. Conflicts with residential uses 
Until these items can be addressed and agreed upon we are going to be opposed to the 
proposed zone change. 
Attached is a letter signed by homeowners that we have heard from and all are opposed to 
the zone change. 
Sincerely,

DOGAMl ID: 04-0056 - Amendment Application for Volmer Creek in Clatsop County 
Location: Section 14 Township 5N Range 10W Tax Lot(s): 101 
Prepared By: Bob Brinkmann - Hydrogeologist and Vaughn Balzex - Natural Resource Specialist 
An application to amend the DOGAMl operating permit has been submitted by Big River Excavating of Astoria. The 
amendment proposes to expand the permit boundary at the Volmer Creek Quarry (referred to by the current permittee as 
the Ordway Quarry) from seven acres to a total of approximately 42 acres. Please review the attached amendment 
documents and provide comments to DOGAMl within the 21-day review period. 
Contact Vaughn Balzer at 541-967-2082 orvaughn.g.balzer@mlrr.oregongeology.com with any questions. 
Enclosed with this Note are the Operating Permit Amendment Application, Operating and Reclamation Plan, Tax Lot 
Map (with the DOGAMl Permit Boundary), recent Aerial Image, Mine/Boring Locations map witlv site topography, 
rapidly moving landslide map and Exhibit 3 showing the mine plan. 
SITE LOCATION 
This upland quarry is located three miles east of the junction of Highway 101 and Highway 26. Access is east on 
Highway 26 to the access road at milepost 2.67, on the west side of Highway 26, 
SITE HISTORY 
An operating permit was issued to George Ordway for the Vollmer Creek quariy in 1982 for tax lot 101 (approximately 
6.22 acres). In 2001, the permit was transferred to Osburxi Brothers Rock from the estate of George Ordway. The permit 
was transferred to Big River Excavating (BRE) in 2006. 
This amendment will add approximately 19,2 acres of property in tax lot 800 owned by Weyerhaeuser Company and 16.5 
acres in tax lots 1203 and 900 owned by Big River Excavating to the permit boundary for this Operating Permit. The 
proposed permit boundary is delineated on the attached "Tax Lot Map". 
CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS and PERMIT AREA 
The following description of the current site conditions is based on a May 16, 2007 site inspection and is followed by 
general information about the site. 
I was accompanied on this inspection be Troy Lindgren of Big River Excavating. This inspection was scheduled to review 
general site conditions and reclamation work associated with Big River Excavating Exploration Permit DOGAMl ID # 
04-0084. Weather at the time of this inspection was sunny and dry. 
During the time of this inspection material was being excavated from the main quarry floor with the use of a large 
excavator. The main highwall at this site is located along the western and northern property margin of tax lot 101, and 
ranges in height from 20 to over 200 feet with an overall slope of 0.25 H: 1 V. This highwall was excavated into the 
setback and left in its current over steepened condition by the previous operator. An agreement documented in a 
September 11, 2003 letter, DOGAMl agreed to allow the operator to reduce the setbacks to 50 feet. The amended 
operating and reclamation plan submitted with this amendment requests a 0-foot setback between the excavation and 
property lines. Leaving a 0-foot excavation setback is not acceptable. A 50-foot setback from the edge of the excavation 
and the approved DOGAMl permit boundary must be maintained. Written authorization must be received from 
DOGAMl to reduce this setback. The area proposed to be amended into tins permit will allow the highwall to be 
excavated across the property line into tax Lot 800. DOGAMl has conditioned this permit so that once the final approval 
is granted the permittee mnst reduce the slope of the highwall and submit a revised mine plan map. 
During the inspection the portion of tax lot 800 proposed to be incorporated into the permit was inspected. The western 
portion of tax lot 800 was recently logged while the northern portion of the amendment area remains forested, primarily 
with Douglas Fir and other forest vegetation. Several exploration holes were chilled in the proposed amendment area

under DOG AMI exploration permit ID # 04-0084. These drill holes encountered 0-15 feet of overburden consisting of 
clay and rock fragments above the rock resource, These holes were reclaimed and plugged and the drill pads had been 
recently seeded. 
The current permit boundary, tax lot 101 (6,22 acres), is located on the eastern side of a small bulte from elevations 268 
feet to 473 feet above M.S.L. Mining related activity has affected areas beyond the current permit boundary on tax lot 
1203. Mining related activity outside of the current permit boundary includes minor excavation of rock aud the 
sidecasting of overburden material along the access road as well as the operation of a scale facility. A significant portion 
of the sidecast overburden along the access road has been reclaimed and is currently vegetated with young alder trees. 
Imported fill material placed to the south of the scale facility is not considered to be mining related activity and is not 
regulated by DOGAMI. 
This quarry site has been developed as a hilltop removal operation having begun as a side-hill cut. The Necanicum River 
is located % mile to the northeast, and Vollmer Creek is located VA mile to the north. An unnamed drainage is located at 
the eastern base of the butte and in the past received treated storm water run off from the site (see below). Another 
unnamed drainage is located on the northwest side of the butte in the amendment area (this drainage can be seen in the 
Mine/Boring Locations map with site topography). 
Undisturbed soils on top of the bulte vary in thickness from 12-60 inches in depth. Soils on the butte are oxidized and 
contain lots of rock fragments. Historically, the butte lias been logged for timber and replanted. Blackberries and alders 
continue to invade the Jess active parts of the quarry floor and access road. 
Currently, there arc no seeps present along the face of the highwall. In an August 2, 2007 e-mail to DOGAML Big River 
Excavating requested to increase the mine depth listed on the reclamation plan from 200 feet to 320 feet front the top of 
the butte. This increased mine depth would allow mining of the butte down to near the elevation of the valley floor. In 
the reclamation plan the permittee estimated the ground water depth to be approximately equivalent to the elevation of the 
creek near Route 26. Based on the Water Resources Department on-line well log database the distance to the closest well 
outside of tlie permit boundary is in section 10 approximately % miles northwest. This well is completed to 20 feet below 
ground surface with a static water level of 6 feet. 
It is not anticipated that the operation of this mine site will affect the aquifer supplying nearby wells, however, no 
dewatering of the excavation is intended or allowed under this application. 
WETLAND FEATURES 
A wetland delineation was not submitted with the application. No wetland features where identified on the butte. 
Wetlands may exist near the drainages at the base of the butte and on the west side of the butte; however this permit has 
been conditioned with mining operations setback from these drainages. Unless the setbacks are violated the drainages and 
their surrounding vegetation will not be directly impacted by mining activity. Any expansion of mining related activity 
onto the flatter ground at the base of the butte will require a permit amendment and a wetland delineation will be required 
at that point prior to allowing any mining related activity on the relatively flat ground. 
STORM WATER 
The quarry floor is sloped in such a way that much of the storm water interacting with the quarry floor and processing 
area will either infiltrate the quarry floor or evaporate. As the quarry is developed, the floor of the quarry should be 
sloped to maintain internal drainage. Storm water from the access road is diverted along a roadside ditch through a series 
of check dams, interconnected settling ponds and through a culvert over an unnamed creek at the eastern base of the butte 
prior to discharging into the adjacent field within tax lot 1203 (owned by the permittee), where it infiltrates the ground. 
All vegetation located between the access road and the creek at the base of the butte must be maintained. The site is 
covered under a DEQ NPDES 1200A storm water discharge permit and the site is operating in compliance with their 
stonn water control plan. The storm water control system was inspected during two significant winter storms. No storm 
water discharges from the quarry operation were documented entering the adjacent creek during these inspections. 
Maintaining the DEQ 1200A discharge permit will be required. 
As the quarry expands into the amendment area the storm water control plan will need to be modified to address the 
potential of storm water discharges to an unnamed drainage located on the northwestern side of the butte (see the drainage 
along the western margin of the "Proposed Mine Expansion Area" noted on the attached Mine/Boring Location map). An 
undisturbed setback of 25 feel must be maintained along this drainage. DOGAMI believes that the vegetation in the 25 
foot setback will be sufficient to filter minor amounts of runoff and protect water quality as long as internal drainage of 
the quarry floor is maintained during the northward expansion of the quarry.

MINE AND RECLAMATION PLAN 
Under the proposed plan the current quarry highwall will be expanded to the north. DOGAMI has placed conditions on 
the permit requiring the highwall slope to be flattened to 1.5 H:1 V within one year of the final approval of this 
amendment. A property line setback of 50 feet from the eastern boundary of tax lot 800 will be enforced until a revised 
mine plan encompassing the whole 42 acre permit boundary is submitted" and approved by DOGAMI. 
A portable crusher will be used on the main quarry floor to crush pit-run into several marketable products. DEQ requires 
an air quality permit for the operation of portable crushers. Processed rock remains stockpiled on the upper quarry floor. 
Topsoil/overburden, fines and rejected material remain stockpiled on the quarry floor. All barren, unvegetated stockpiles 
of topsoil, overburden, fines, and rejected material must be seeded to prevent erosion prior to October 1 of each year. 
The post mining land use will be forestry. All cut slopes must be excavated at slopes of 1.5H to IV or flatter. All fill 
slopes must be maintained at 2PI to IV or flatter. All remaining stockpiles must be removed or used in the final 
reclamation process. All oversized rock will be sold, buried, or removed from the site during final reclamation. The 
permittee proposed a minimum soil replacement depth on the disturbed area of 12 inches; however, DOGAMI will require 
a minimum of three feet of suitable growth medium for ail areas that will be replanted with trees, t r e e planting densities 
on tax lot 800 must meet Weyerhaeuser Company planting requirements. Please submit Weyerhaeuser Company 
planting requirements prior to January 1, 2008. 
Q u a n y floor and stockpile yard areas will be ripped to a depth of 18 inches to decompact the ground. During final 
reclamation, the permittee proposes to plant conifer seedling trees at a rate of 400 per acre and seed with 100 pounds per 
acre of big game seed mix. Please submit a list of plant species to be used in the big game seed mix prior to January 1, 
2008. 
LAND USE AND RECLAMATION SECURITY 
Clatsop County will require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to expand the quarry beyond tax lot 101. Currently, this site 
has a $30,000 reclamation security. Based on the feet that there is already additional mining related disturbance in tax lot 
1203, the fact that the site has had slope stability issues in the past and currently has an oversteepened highwall DOGAMI 
estimates an adequate reclamation security to be $40,000. Prior to the final approval of this amended permit Big River 
Excavating will need to increase the reclamation security to $40,000, 
The following conditions are proposed for this amended operating permit. These conditions may be modified based on 
responses from other natural resource agencies, 
The Permittee must: 
1. clearly mark in the field the permit boundary and all property line and drainage setbacks prior to working within 
100 feet of those setbacks. 
2. stabilize all barren overburden stockpiles and the noise berms by seeding with ryegrass or other noninvasive 
hybrid cereal grain by October I of each year until vegetation is established. 
3. retain adequate cover soil material to cover all areas to be reclaimed with twelve inches of topsoil material. The 
quarry floor and all other areas where trees will be planted will require a minimum soil replacement depth of 
three feet, 
4. maintain a vegetated undisturbed 25-foot setback between all mining activity and the unnamed drainage on the 
northwestern side of the bntte. 
5. maintain the existing vegetation and conduct no additional mining activity along the unnamed creek at the 
eastern base of the butte. 
6. maintain a 50 foot setback f rom tlie edge of the excavation and (he permit boundary and permanently mark 
setbacks in the field. 
7. 
8. 
maintain compliance with the 1200-A permit. 
not conduct pit dewatering without first amending the DOGAMI Operating Permit. 
Note to Reviewing Agencies

9. not mine below the elevation of the valley floor at the base of quarry without first amending the DOGAMI 
Operating Permit. 
10. submit for DOGAMI approval a revised mine plan map showing ALL mining related activity within the revised 
42 acre permit boundary prior to conducting any new mining related activity on or within 50 feet of tax lots 900 
or 1203. The new mine plan must be consistent all other permits and with the conditions as listed on this permit. 
11. reduce the existing highwall slope to 1.5 H: 1V within one year of the final approval of this amendment or submit 
a geotechnieal report completed by a certified professional containing a factor of safety analysis stating that the 
highwall slope will remain stable in an over steepened configuration. 
12. maintain excavated slopes of 1.5 H: IV and fill slopes of 2H: 1V or flatter. 
13. minimize vegetation removal and conduct no sidecasting in order to ensure that the surrounding slopes will 
remain stable during mining operations. 
14. maintain internal drainage of the main quarry floor and update the storm water control plan as the quany 
expands. 
15. submit a post mining drainage plan for DOGAMI approval prior to 1 year before mine closure. 
16. agree that if mining operations disturb any area outside of the permit area or area designated for active mining in 
the reclamation plan, including but not limited to disturbances caused by landslide, erosion or fly rock, the 
operator must restore the disturbed area to a condition that is comparable to what it was prior to the disturbance. 
Further, if areas outside of the permit boundary or outside of the area proposed for active mining in the 
reclamation plan are disturbed, DOGAMI may increase the amount of the required financial security to cover the 
cost of such restoration.

The 8 Main Steps in Reviewing a Proposed 
Plan Amendment for an Aggregate Mining 
Site Under the New Goal 5 Rule 
1. Determine significance. 
Determine whether the aggregate resource site is 
significant enough to merit inclusion in the 
plan 's inventory of aggregate resources. 
2. Define impact area. 
If the site is found to be significant, define the 
"impact area" where mining, if allowed, might 
conflict with "existing or approved" land uses . 
3. Identify conflicts. 
Within the impact area, identify conflicts 
(situations where noise, dust , traffic, etc., from 
the mining would adversely affect nearby land 
uses). 
4. identify ways to minimize conflicts. 
Identify "reasonable and practicable measures" 
t h a t could be used to minimize such conflicts. 
5. Evaluate ESEE consequences of mining. 
If conflicts exist and cannot be minimized, 
analyze economic, social, environmental and 
energy (ESEE) consequences of allowing, 
limiting, or not allowing the mining. 
6. Decide whetheh to allow mining. 
Based on the ESEE analysis, decide whether to 
allow the mining. 
7. Evaluate ESEE consequences of new uses. 
If mining is allowed, evaluate the ESEE conse-
quences of allowing, limiting, or not allowing new 
conflicting uses in the impact area. 
8. Amend the plan. 
If mining is allowed, amend the local plan and 
land u s e regulations to reflect that decision and 
to protect the site for mining. 
Planning for Aggregate 21 
STEP 1. DETERMINE SIGNIFICANCE 
Significance is determined by quality, 
quantity and location of the aggregate 
resource. 
• Quality: Big River's resource meets 
relevant quality testing values for: 
1) the Los Angeles rattler test 
2) the Sodium Sulfate test; and 
3) the Oregon Degradation test. 
• Quantity: Big River's resource exceeds 
the necessary abundance. 
o Environmental Science Associates 
estimate that the Big River site has over 
8,000,000 tons of aggregate and mineral. 
The County requirement is only 250,000 
tons 
o Big River will not mine on any Class 
I or Class II soils. 
• Location: Big River has provided a map 
and description that details its location. 
o The location is immediately adjacent 
to a state highway and close to the growing 
south country market. 
CONCLUSION: 
The site is SIGNIFICANT and must be 
protected on the County's Goal 5 inventory.

STEP 3. IDENTIFY CONFLICTS 
Within the impact area, the Goal 5 Rule requires the 
County to identify and address: 
1. Noise, dust and other discharges 
2. Local roads 
3. Airports 
4. Other Goal 5 resource sites, and 
5. Agricultural practices 
FIRST CONFLICT CATEGORY 
NOISE, DUST AND OTHER 
DISCHARGES 
Noise 
Big River engaged Daly-Standlee & 
Associates to assess noise impacts from the 
expansion and has recommended mitigation 
measures to ensure noise limits can be met and that 
conflicts can be minimized as required by Goal 
Noise Analysis 
Daytime standards: 
7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (will operate only until 6 p.m.) 
L-50 55 DBA (Level that cannot be 
exceeded 50 percent of 
the time or 30 minutes 
in an hour) 
L-10 60 DBA (Level that cannot be 
exceeded 10 percent of 
the time or 6 minutes in 
an hour) 
L-01 75 DBA (Level that cannot be 
exceeded 1 percent of 
the time or 36 seconds 
in an hour) 
• Worst case scenario - all equipment operating 
(crusher, screen, rock drill or dozer, 2 front-end 
loaders and cool wet weather — noise dissipates 
faster in the summer) 
• Comply at all times with minimal mitigation for 
rock drill or dozer. Mitigation only required as 
extraction approaches houses to the north and then 
only if there is a direct line of sight to rock drill or 
dozer (highly unlikely) (See Condition # 13) 
• Blasting is well below DEQ standards 
- Sequential charges will reduce impacts further 
(See Condition # 7) 
CONCLUSION: 
Noise impacts will be MINIMIZED. 
Dust 
• Crusher has a DEQ Air Contaminant 
Discharge Permit (See Condition # 7) 
• Big River will pave the entrance road to 
the scale station (See Condition # 8) 
• Will use regular housekeeping measures 
such as sweeping to eliminate and minimize dust 
buildup (See Condition # 8) 
• Uses a water truck to moisten non-paved 
areas (See Condition # 8) 
• Truck speed will be strictly limited to 
15 mph onsite (See Condition # 8) 
No Concrete or Asphalt Batch Plant 
(See Condition # 1) 
CONCLUSION: 
Dust impacts will be MINIMIZED. 
Other Discharges 
• Big River will operate the gravel pit so 
that stormwater is directed internally to the pit floor 
or to retention ponds. 
• There is a buffer area around the site 
consisting of densely wooded areas and flat grass 
areas that will allow for absorption of water 
• Environmental Science Associates 
indicates no potential for effects on groundwater in 
the area. 
Stormwater Permit will be obtained as part 
of DOGAMI permit process (See Condition #5) 
Big River will work with local watershed 
council on water flow issues (See Condition # 2) 
Big River will maintain vegetation along 
Highway 26 (See Condition # 14) and will maintain 
a wider buffer strip and make improvements on Tax 
Lot 1203 (See Condition # 16) 
No Concrete or Asphalt Batch Plant 
(See Condition # 1) 
CONCLUSION: 
"Other Discharges" will be MINIMIZED. 
SECOND CONFLICT CATEGORY 
LOCAL ROADS 
Big River will continue to use the existing 
approved ODOT access directly onto Highway 26 at 
milepost 2.66. 
Associated Transportation, Engineering 
and Planning analyzed transportation issues 
associated with the application. It concludes no 
local roads are impacted by the application and that 
the ongoing use of the existing access will not 
significantly affect any existing or planned 
transportation facility. 
Traffic Analysis 
Goal 12 
Q: Do we "significantly affect" transportation 
facility? 
A: No 
Analysis: "Significantly affect" = 
1. Change functional classification 
2. Change standards about functional 
classification 
3. Allow land use that would generate 
levels of travel inconsistent with functional 
classification (truck route arterial) 
4. Worsen performance of facility projected 
to perform below minimum standards 
• Currently have: 
ODOT approved access 
• Our traffic is already calculated into traffic 
matrix 
• Stay within ODOT approved trip numbers 
• Cannot have any measurable effect on facility 
performance (its already measured and included) 
o Big River has developed a circular 
alternative to the current access in the event that 
ODOT would be willing to consider access 
alternatives and increased truck trips after County 
approval. 
CONCLUSION: 
Local Road conflicts are MINIMIZED 
THIRD CONFLICT CATEGORY 
PUBLIC AIRPORTS 
• The Department of Transportation 
discourages water impoundments associated with 
gravel pits located 10,000 feet or closer to an airport 
• The closest airport to the Big River site is 
the Seaside airport, located 5 miles away. 
• Big River's basalt quarry will not create a 
permanent water impoundment 
FOURTH CONFLICT CATEGORY 
OTHER GOAL 5 RESOURCE SITES 
Big River has reviewed the County's 
background documents and inventory for other 
acknowledged Goal 5 resources in the area. 
• The Necanicum River is an 
inventoried Goal 5 resource, but it is buffered from 
the site by Highway 26 and intervening property 
• Big River will continue to control 
stormwater on site 
• ODF&W review finds no conflicts with 
fish resource in the Necanicum River 
FIFTH CONFLICT CATEGORY 
AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES 
There is no significant agricultural activity 
occurs in the area and, therefore, no conflicts 
STEP 4. MIMIMIZE CONFLICTS 
Noise is MINIMIZED through reorienting mining 
activities away from neighboring residents and 
compliance with Conditions # 6, 13 & 17 
Dust is MINIMIZED through good housekeeping, 
paving access road, use of water truck and compliance 
with air discharge permits. (See Conditions # 7 & 8) 
"Other Discharges55 are MINIMIZED through 
improvements in mining plan/operations and compliance 
with stormwater requirements 
(See Conditions # 2, 5, 14, 15 & 16) 
Local Road issues are MINIMIZED by maintaining 
operation at its existing size, using currently approved 
ODOT access and pursuing circular access improvements 
with ODOT (See Conditions 3 & 4) 
Conflicts with other identified Goal 5 resources 
(Necanicum River) are MINIMIZED by maintenance of 
stormwater permit, set backs, work with local watershed 
council, vegetative plantings and modifications of water 
flows 
(See Conditions # 2, 5, 14, 15 &16) 
There are no identified conflicts with public airports or 
agricultural activities. 
Adopted Conditions of Approval 
Ordinance # 08-04 
1. Concrete and Asphalt Batch Plants are N O T approved under this land use approval. Within 30 
Days of the expiration of all appeal periods of the approval, Big River shall record a deed 
restriction Prohibiting the Establishment of a Concrete/Asphalt Batch Plant on Tax Lots 1203 & 
101. 
The Zone Change granted in this land use proceeding changes the zoning on portions of the 
affected properties from the County 's RA-2, AF & F-80 Zones to the County's QM Zone. 
Ordinarily the QM Zone would allow Batch Plants as a Type 1 use. This Approval and Condition 
specifically override the provisions of the County ' s QM zone section 3.466§(2). 
In the event an applicant in the future would request a Batch Plant for these properties, such 
request shall be subject to the County 's Type IV procedure and the post acknowledgement 
Processes of OAR 660-23-0180. However, the applicant would not be required to prove 
significance (i.e. Quantity, Quality, & Location) for the purposes of supporting the Batch Plant 
request. 
2. Consistent with the Comments of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the 
applicant/operator shall complete any required wetlands corrections resulting from activities and 
infractions of prior operators. Big River also agrees to voluntarily work with the local watershed 
council on a previously planned project on its bottomland property. For this purpose, Big River 
will provide limited access to portions of its property not used for extraction activities (Along 
Highway 26). Big River 's Stormwater plan, required in Condition 6 Below, will include changes 
in Drainage on Tax Lot 1203 (Near the Existing "Spoils" site) to redirect a portion of water flow 
onto Big River Property (Tax Lot 1203) 
3. Operations will continue to use the existing access point at milepost 2.66, consistent with the 
current permit from the Oregon Department of Transportation. No increase in the number of 
Average Daily Vehicle Trips is requested or allowed. No queuing (Lining Up) of truck Traffic on 
Highway 26 shall be permitted. 
4. Should Big River wish to expand operations and increase truck trips, they would be required to 
pursue the circular alternative access as described in the application (i.e.: "In-Only" at the Existing 
access point - Mile Post 2.66 and "Out - Only at either mile post 2.50 or Voilmer Creek Road -
Mile Post 2.26), such alternative access is allowed by this approval provided that O D O T 
requirements are met and/or an O D O T permit is granted to the operation for the alternative access. 
Big River shall initiate the process with O D O T within 30 days of the expiration of all appeal 
periods for the Land Use Approval. 
5. Operator shall obtain, and maintain, a valid Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral 
Industries permit and shall post and maintain the bond required by DOGAMI. As part of the 
DOGAMI process the operator shall obtain a Stormwater Discharge permit, and shall comply with 
all provisions of such permit. 
6. Operations shall be permitted year round. Hours of Operations shall be 7 am to 6 pm Monday 
through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm on Saturday with no operations on Sunday or Normal legal 
Holidays. Controlled Blasting shall be permitted as part of operations. Blasting Hours shall be 8 
am to 5 pm Monday through Friday with no blasting on Weekends or Normal Legal Holidays. 
Blasting shall use sequential charges to minimize impacts. Owners in the general vicinity (1500 
ORDINANCE 08-04 Page III 
Feet, but including the Edgewater Terrace Subdivision) shall be notified 24 hours in advance of 
any Blast. Operators shall obtain a list from Clatsop County of the residents that must be notified. 
No More than 10 Blasting/Drilling sessions are permitted in any calendar year 
7. Operator shall obtain and maintain a Department of Environmental Air Containment Discharge 
Permit for any crusher used on site. Operator shall comply with all applicable DEQ Standards. 
8. Operator shall minimize dust through the following methods: Sweep the pavement intersection 
with Highway 26 on a regular Basis; Gravel all internal truck paths; Limit the speed of all vehicles 
on internal truck paths to 15 MPH or Less; Make a water truck available and moisten internal 
truck paths as necessary. Within 180 days of the expiration of all appeal periods for the land use 
approval, Big River shall pave the entrance road from Highway 26 ( M P 2.66) to the existing Scale 
House, a distance of Approximately 250 Feet. 
9. No Division or Parcelization of the Land is approved. 
10. Operator shall follow the provisions of the erosion control and parking plans submitted with the 
application. Operator shall fol low all DOGAMI Rules related to Erosion and Stability. 
11. Operator shall obtain and Maintain Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $500,000 and 
shall annually provide proof of insurance to the County. 
12. Access to the Quarry shall be gated when not in use. 
13. Operator shall implement noise Mitigation measures as described in the Daly Standlee Noise 
Report when a Dozer or Rock Drill is in a Direct Line of Sight and within 1400 feet of an existing 
residence (Excluding Residences on the Site itself). Specifically, a solid barrier (either a Berm or 
movable barrier) shall be used for a Rock Drill; a Berm Barrier, Residential Muffler or intermittent 
operation shall be used for a dozer. In addition, Operator shall, on an ongoing and declining basis, 
maintain a lip of rock to serve as a natural barrier to the East/Northeast to screen operations and 
minimize noise impacts. 
14. Operator shall maintain existing vegetation for a distance of 50 feet a long Highway 26 to promote 
screening. 50 Foot setbacks shall be maintained from any riparian area. Excavation shall be 
maintained from any riparian area. All quarry activities shall be setback 200 feet from any existing 
residence and Public Road right-of-way, including Excavation and Stockpiles. Sediment ponds 
shall be setback 25 feet from the perimeter of the site or any public road right-of-way. 
15. A 200 Foot Wide Zoning Buffe r strip along Highway 26 (See Attached M a p A) shall be retained 
in the existing zoning (F-B0 and RA-2) and within this Buffer strip, only the existing access and 
potential alternative access points shall be changed to the QM Zone. Access Roads are allowed 
within the 200-foot Buffer Strip. 
16. A 200 Foot wide Zoning Buffer Strip along portions of the Southerly Boundary of Tax Lot 1203 
(In the "Spoils" area) shall be retained in the AF Zone (See attached Map A). Access Roads are 
allowed within the 200 foot buffer strip. Within this buffer strip on tax lot 1203, Big River shall 
construct a 10-15 foot high Berm and slope the Stored material so that Run off is directed 
predominantly toward the Big River Property. Big River will also Plant Conifer vegetation in the 
200 foot Buffer area on Tax Lot 1203 to mitigate run off onto adjacent parcels. Big River will also 
plant native vegetation on the South Hillside of the Existing Quarry. 
17. Big River will make a good faith effort within a three (3) year time f r ame from the expiration of 
all appeal periods of the approval to reorient its extraction operations to the backside (westerly 
side) of the Hill. Big River will move the Crusher to the westerly side of the hill as soon as 
possible. 
O R D I N A N C E 08-04 Page IV 
STEP 5. EVALUATE ESEE 
CONSEQUENCES OF MINING 
Only if conflicts exist and cannot be 
MINIMIZED, the Goal 5 Rule requires the local 
government to analyze economic, social, and 
environmental and energy (ESEE) consequences of 
allowing, limiting or not allowing the mining to 
determine whether the mining should be approved 
notwithstanding the conflicts. 
o All conflicts at the Big River site are 
MINIMIZED and, therefore, this step does not 
apply. No initial ESEE is required. 
STEP 6. DECIDE WHETHER TO 
ALLOW MINING 
Big River has demonstrated: 
o The site is SIGNIFICANT 
o Conflicts can be MINIMIZED 
Therefore, the PAPA application should be 
approved.

RESOLUTION AND ORDER Page 2 
STEP 7. EVALUATE ESEE 
CONSEQUENCES OF NEW USES 
If mining is allowed, the consequences of 
allowing, limiting or not allowing new conflicting 
uses in the impact area must be analyzed using the 
ESEE process. 
Findings and staff review provide the basis 
for ESEE analysis. 
Only issue is the relationship between the 
quarry and future noise sensitive uses in small areas 
of impact area that are not owned by Big River or 
Weyerhaeuser. 
ESEE analysis recommended by Staff was 
approved by the Planning Commission. 
(See attached) 
E S E E ANALYSIS: 
Conflicting Uses: 
Only one use (residential use) has been identified which could give rise to 
conflicts if allowed to locate within the impact area at the Big River Ordway site. 
Because a conflict is possible, the Goal 5 Economic, Social, Environmental and Energy 
consequences analysis (ESEE) is required for approval of the application (Step 7 of 
DLCD guidance paper). The PAPA rule provides that where a conflicting use has been 
identified, the Goal 5 resource site may impact, and be impacted by, that use. Both the 
impacts on the resource site and on the conflicting use must be considered in analyzing 
ESEE consequences. 
The Big River site is located on the southeast side of Highway 26 between 
mileposts 2.5 and 3.0. The property is surrounded by property zoned AF, F-80 and RA-2. 
No current agricultural activities occur near the site. A residential subdivision is located 
across Highway 26 to the northeast. 
1. Economic Consequences Analysis. 
a. Impacts on the resource of allowing conflicting uses. 
The Big River site will provide at least 8 million tons of high quality aggregate. 
The material taken from the site will be utilized for critical infrastructure uses including 
road construction, structural foundation backfill, culverts, landscaping, and others. The 
si te 's proximity to Highway 26, Seaside, and Cannon Beach make it ideal for offering 
competitive prices on rock products and it will have a significant economic impact. 
If a residential use was allowed in close enough proximity to Big River 's Goal 5 
mineral and aggregate resource to prevent or reduce use of the pit, it would have a 
significant adverse economic effect on the resource. For example, if a new dwelling was 
allowed to locate within the impact area, Big River might not be able to meet DEQ's 
noise regulations without extensive changes to its operations. Those regulations could 
require new sound walls or berms, changes in hours of operation, significant costs to alter 
operations, shrinking of the size of the mineral resource that could be extracted and, in a 
worst case scenario, the shut down of the mineral and aggregate operation because of an 
inability to comply with DEQ's noise regulations. And, if a residential use was allowed 
within the impact area, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to design an 
extraction plan that would yield the fullest utilization of the mineral and aggregate 
resource or even to potentially obtain a small portion of the resource on the Goal 5 
resource site. A residential use, if allowed, could result in the loss of jobs provided by 
Big River 's site and the loss of the material provided by the quarry into the economy of 
the county. 
Clatsop County benefits from long-term, reliable sources of high quality mineral 
and aggregate material. If conflicting uses were allowed in such location as to prevent or 
limit operation of the Big River Ordway site, the owner would suffer a significant 
E x h i b i t 1 4 p OcuCo^S U> S ^ J u U k c ) 
economic setback and the community would be denied access to much needed and highly 
valuable mineral and aggregate materials that help economic growth. These are 
significant and unacceptable negative economic effects. 
b. Impacts on the conflicting uses of allowing the resource use. 
No conflicting use currently exists inside the impact area of the Big River Ordway 
mineral and aggregate resource site. As such, any conflicting use that could occur would 
move to the area with full knowledge of the existence of the mineral and aggregate site 
and the potential noise effects. The question is whether it would be necessary for an 
individual to build a residence within those small portions of the neighboring properties 
that are within the identified impact area. Currently there are portions of each property 
affected by an impact area designation that are outside the identified impact area 
perimeter from the mineral and aggregate resource site. As such, if an individual wishes 
to build a residence he or she would have several options to choose from on any existing 
parcel. The ability to move the conflicting use to another location on the same parcel 
greatly reduces the economic impact on the conflicting use if the mineral and aggregate 
expansion is approved, located and operated. In addition, the property owners could 
enter into a waiver of remonstrance, noise easement or other agreement to allow the 
construction of a residence within the impact area and avoid adverse effects on the 
quarry. In sum, the economic consequences can be avoided, the economic costs can be 
lessened, and the owners can continue to make economic use of the properties. Outside 
the identified impact area, noise impacts can be controlled and DEQ standards can be met 
and there would be little or no economic impact on any approved use. Another major 
noise source in the area is created by Highway 26. The residents in the area constantly 
receive noise from the highway and the overall noise environment in the area is not 
pristine. As such, the incremental economic cost of noise from the quarry is not large if 
it, in fact, exists. 
When balancing between the economic costs to the resource (potentially 
the inability to use the resource or operated in an economically sound manner) with the 
economic impacts from noise radiating fi'om the site onto other properties, economic 
analysis supports the protection and operation of the mineral and aggregate resource site. 
If the mineral and aggregate resource site were unable to operate or able to operate 
without extraordinary noise controls that made the rock costs ineffective, the operator 
would suffer an economic loss, but more importantly, the county would suffer an 
economic loss because the mineral and aggregate resource would not be available in the 
county for infrastructure improvements. Contrasted with a potentially small and difficult 
to qualify loss in economic value of future uses that would be constructed within the 
identified impact area where the sound level could increase, it is our conclusion that the 
activities on the Big River site outweigh the small and difficult to define economic cost to 
landowners in the area who might wish to place a noise sensitive residential use within 
the impact area. As such, we believe that our consideration of the economic prong of the 
ESEE analysis tips clearly in favor of preserving the resource and allowing its operation 
because it provides for the greater economic good of the entire community. 
- 2 -
2. Social Consequences Analysis, 
a. Impacts on the resource of allowing conflicting use. 
It is difficult to make a rational analysis of the social impacts in this matter 
because the impacts on mineral and aggregate resources are primarily economic in 
nature. However, there could be social impacts created that would negatively affect the 
resource if a conflicting residential use was allowed in close proximity to the site. It 
appears the most significant social cost to the landowner and the mineral and aggregate 
operator would be related to attempts to mitigate noise to the satisfaction of neighbors 
through modifications to the operation that potentially increase the cost of aggregate 
extraction. 
The most probable social impact in allowing a conflicting residential use near the 
resource site would be to limit or prevent the site's use because of social dissatisfaction 
from the neighbors. If a conflicting residential use was allowed next to the resource sites, 
it is possible that the existing regulations controlling the operation of the site, particularly 
noise standards, might be difficult or impossible to meet at the site and that these 
regulations would be aired and enforced through social pressure. This social disruption 
could result in an increase in the price of aggregate materials with a loss of at least a 
poition of high quality aggregate resource at the site and make that site unavailable for a 
wide variety of uses in the county, including road and infrastructure construction. 
Aggregate materials have high social utility in the county and are a critical part of 
infrastructure, as well as commercial, industrial and residential construction. The 
increase in price or a decrease in the supply of high quality aggregate, such as that at the 
proposed site, would have a negative social impact in the greater county area potentially 
through increased prices of infrastructure, homes, highways and other products which 
depend on aggregate materials. This could implicate social costs by limiting the county's 
citizens' ability to afford these products and services and potentially reduce their standard 
of living. 
b. Impacts on conflicting use of allowing the resource use. 
If the impacts (largely noise) associated with the proposed operation are not 
properly controlled, there could be social impacts on new residential uses near the 
mineral and aggregate resource, such as neighbor dissatisfaction and unrest. However, 
the nature of the resource site, its location, the surrounding uses, the topographic features 
and the control mechanisms required by conditions, as well as the noise studies that have 
been provided, all serve to make any significant adverse social effects unlikely. The 
record demonstrates that the DEQ noise standards, which are designed to protect 
residences and human health, can and will be met by the operation at all residences in the 
area. Further, there is already ambient highway noise and it is hard to assign social value 
to any increase to ambient noise levels that may occur within the DEQ standards. Rock 
has a significant social utility and must be obtained at locations where high quality rock 
is located and where it is close to the market to reduce costs. In the end, the balance 
between the greater social utility of the mineral and aggregate resource and the personal 
social costs of individuals whose environment undergo a change as a result of the 
protection of the mineral and aggregate resource tips in favor of the resource site. The 
- 3 -
greater social good of having a confiinied source of high quality mineral and aggregate 
outweighs the potential social impacts that have been identified by the neighbors 
immediately in the area. 
3. Environmental Consequences Analysis. 
a. Impacts on the resource of allowing conflicting uses. 
A conflicting residential use would generally not have an environmental impact 
on the aggregate resource unless it was allowed in the impact area. If the residential use 
was allowed in the impact area, the environmental impacts on the resource could be 
severe and the resource potentially could not be used or its use would be severely 
restricted due to increased difficulties with environmental compliance (primarily noise 
compliance). 
b- Impacts on the conflicting uses of allowing the resource use. 
The proposed aggregate operations could potentially have an environmental 
impact (in the form of noise) upon a conflicting use if located within the impact area. 
Other potential impacts including dust and transportation will not have adverse 
environmental consequences because they will be controlled and mitigated. Applicant's 
noise expert indicates that outside of a mapped distance from the proposed extraction 
areas, mineral and aggregate operations can meet DEQ's standards. DEQ standards are 
designed to protect human health and human habitation areas and meeting DEQ standards 
helps mitigate and eliminate environmental conflicts. The mining and operations plan 
submitted by Big River provides a number of methods that will minimize environmental 
impacts (e.g., reorienting mining direction, reducing onsite truck speeds, etc.). It is 
possible that there would be an adverse environmental effect due to an increase in the 
ambient noise level even though DEQ standards are met. However, in establishing the 
noise levels, DEQ has provided a mechanism that adequately protects environmental 
values. Big River has demonstrated that DEQ's standards can be met within the mapped 
impact area. Further, Big River has used land forms, has incorporated berms, and has 
proposed a mining plan to mitigate these environmental issues. Big River's proactive 
approach in this area is an important consideration to the environmental analysis. 
Regardless of where a mineral and aggregate site would be located in Clatsop 
County, a neighbor would be able to express concern about the adverse effects of the 
environment. If a mineral and aggregate site was required to have no effect on any 
person, that resource would be located well beyond the market area and significant 
additional amounts of fuel would be necessary to move the product to market, That 
would cause a separate type of environmental consequence that is avoided by locating the 
sites closer to the market area. Rock resources move by trucks and the more distance that 
is added (to escape environmental, social and economic consequences to adjoining 
properties) creates an equal and opposite environmental, social and economic 
consequence: the use of significantly more fossil fuel that powers the trucks that deliver 
the mineral and aggregate material. Further, transportation costs greatly increase the cost 
of aggregate and it is not in the best interests of citizens in Clatsop County to locate 
mineral and aggregate resources a significant distance outside the market area. . 
- 4 -
With regard to the environmental prong of the ESEE analysis, the 
minimized environmental impacts on neighboring properties must be balanced against the 
greater environmental impacts caused by moving mineral and aggregate operations to 
locations that are farther and farther away. While there are potential environmental 
consequences in terms of noise, these consequences are greatly mitigated or even 
eliminated by the operator's proposal and they are outweighed by negative environmental 
consequences if the quarry were required to move farther and farther away from the 
market area. 
4. Energy Consequences Analysis, 
a, Impacts on the resource of allowing conflicting uses. 
The only adverse energy consequences to a mineral and aggregate resource by 
allowing a conflicting use would be due to operational changes in the aggregate 
extraction operations that could make them less efficient and more energy consumptive. 
And as argued above (in the environmental analysis which we incorporate herein), it is 
also possible that locating a conflicting use near the resource sites could potentially cause 
greater energy impacts through fuel consumption by haul trucks that might be required to 
travel greater distances to bring the aggregate material to market from more distant 
locations. 
b. Impacts on conflicting uses of allowing the resource use. 
It is difficult to conceptualize how there would be adverse energy consequences to 
any conflicting use if the Big River application site is approved. Conceivably, existing 
neighbors (or new construction) would wish to replace single pane windows with double 
paned windows to counteract noise effects. This would potentially consume more energy 
by manufacturing new windows, but also could save energy in terms of increased 
efficiency of double paned windows. Similarly, it is possible that neighbors could 
attempt to beim or landscape their properties in a way to reduce the view of the mineral 
and aggregate sites or some of the potential operating effects. This, conceivably, could 
increase energy consumption directly related to the energy necessary to construct the 
berms. 
Because transportation of mineral and aggregate materials is very energy 
dependent, we believe that our consideration of the energy consequences of the ESEE 
analysis tips slightly in favor of allowing the proposed use.

STEP 8. AMEND THE PLAN 
Since the site is SIGNIFICANT and all 
impacts can be MINIMIZED, mining should be 
allowed, and the local plan and land use regulations 
should be amended to reflect that decision and to 
protect the site for mining. 
Staff and Planning Commission recommend 
protection for the site for mining and allowing 
mining with conditions.
