The Existing Quarry is located to the immediate east oft the    proposed NROD and State Route 650 (Quarry Road). Surface mining operations within the proposed NROD would be incorporated by amendment to the current Virginia Department of Energy Skippers Quarry Permit 05589AC and associated Mineral Mining Plan (MMP). In their NROD application, Vulcan is asking for two exceptions to the requirements ofthe  (Application is included as Attachment "A").  NROD'si regulations: 1.  Vulcan is seeking relief from Section 11-11 (Dust Control) regarding the Main Access Road design at SR 650 (Quarry Road). Section 11-11 of the NROD district requires that "each main access road shall be. surface-treated with concrete or asphaltj for a distance ofhvo hundred (200), feet) from the point ofi its connection with aj public road. Elsewhere within the NROD ared, all roads, whether they be secondary access roads or interior surface roads, shall be surface-treatedi in a manner which will eliminate, or reduce to a diminimous level, dust generated thereon. The. surface treatment utilized, for secondary access. roads and interior service roads may be the watering thereof or may be any other laful and effective means oftreatmen!". Vulcan is currently working with the Virginia Department of  Transportation with an alternative pavement design.  2.  Vulcan also seeks relief from Section 11-12 (Transportation of  Excayated/Extracted Material) for exception tol NROS Main Access Road wheel wash and tarping. Section 11-12 requires that "all excavated, or extracted material which is being transported away from the NROD. shall be loaded and covered in a manner which ensures that. same cannot unintentionally be discharged, from the vehicle. Aj facility suitable for washing vehicles. shall be located no further than lwo hundred (200).feet from the point ofintersection ofa Main Access Road and a public road. All vehicles used to transport excavated, or extracted, materials shall be cleaned ofall material not properly. secured in the load-bed, prior to. such vehicle entering upon any, public road." Vulcan is currently working with VDOT seeking  approval of an alternative to this condition.  Greensville County will work closely with Vulcan and the Virginia Department of Transportation as it related to Vulcan's Traffic Impact Analysis and also the two proposed Approval oft the NROD will allow Vulcan to continue its investment to responsibly create and support. jobs and economic development within the county, while utilizing a strategic natural resource located in the county. As is consistent with its current permit requirements and operational practices, Vulcan will continue to mine, extract and process construction aggregates as demonstrated in more than 100 years ofa an operation that is compatible with adjacent land  exceptions noted above.  uses.  ZONING ORDINANCE  The Greensville County Zoning Ordinance enables property owners, lessees or optionees to apply for designation of certain property as al Natural Resource Overlay District (NROD). In    order to have al NROD designation, the applicant must comply with all terms and conditions of the NROD as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance (See Attachment "B"). Iti is intended that the overlay district permit activities such as mining, regulate the conduct ofs such activity, and accomplish both in ai manner promoting the general health, safety, and welfare of Greensville County citizens, in a manner consistent with the Greensville County Comprehensive Plan. The surface removal (i.e., not underground mining) of soil, sand, gravel, stone or other minerals by excavating, stripping, dredging, quarrying or other similar mining operation are permitted in the NROD District without a Special Use Permit. Accessory uses reasonably and necessarily required as an accessory to the permitted uses, including, but not exclusively, washing, grading, sorting, blasting, grinding and stockpiling operations do not require a Special Use Permit. All such accessory operations which can be located at the site oft the primary operation shall be: sO located. Those accessory operations which cannot be SO located (e.g.: water delivery lines) shall be located sO as to avoid adverse impact upon the health, safety and welfare of the public. The properties that are the subject ofthis request currently consist of 8 parcels of property that total 304.6 acres of land. All properties that are included in the applicant's application as well as surrounding properties are located within an A-1, Agricultural Zoning District. The properties across SR 650 (Quarry Road) are owned by the applicant Vulcan and are zoned M-1: Industrial. The Agricultural District covers the largest portion oft the County which is presently occupied by farms, forests, conservation areas and other types ofrural uses. The. Agricultural Zoning District is designed to protect these existing conditions and to encourage only that future development which promotes the preservation of the rural qualities oft the County. In addition, selected businesses and industrial uses may be permitted ini the district but only when the governing body finds that such development not only enables the rural characteristics oft the County to be maintained but is in harmony with the economic development objectives of the County. Article 12 ofThe Greensville County Zoning Ordinance requires Vulcan to submit a Site Plan for the proposed expansion project. The Site Plan will be reviewed by the Planning Department as well as the Virginia Department ofTransportation. This review process will ensure that VDOT'srequirements that result from the Traffic Impact Analysis are implemented as intended. The review process will also ensure that the NROD requirements such as setbacks, screening,  roadside landscaping, fencing, etc. are met.  COMPREHENSIVE PLAN  The subject properties are located in a Rural Area on the Comprehensive Plans Future Land Use Plan (See Attachment "C")Iti is the intent of the Land Use Plan and the general policy of the County for the Rural Development Area to maintain its agricultural and rural development qualities. This general policy is intended to be implemented through specific policies for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural conservation and environmental issues. The Land Use Chapter (Chapter 9) of the Comprehensive Plan speaks specifically about Mining and Extraction Establishment and provides land use determinants, primary land use types, and  design principles to ensure proper siting ofmining type facilities.    See excerpt below from Chapter 9: Mining and Mining Extraction Establishment: Mining and Extraction Establishment Mining operations have been located in the countyfor many. years. Over time, these operations have reduced their capacity, and in some cases, ceased operation. For example, the lluka Resources Brink Mine for titanium is now completing the decommissioning, phase and is no longer categorized as a mining establishment in the future land use map. The. Land Use Plan allowsf for small growth of the existing mines in Greensville County. New and expanded mines have additional oversight because they typicallyrequire general permits from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.  Land Use Determinants: opportunity to the county.  Natural Resouree-Avallabilly Locations with unique and rare resources that offer economic Transportation Access - Locations with proximity to rail and major roads. Served. by an Existing Land Use Pattern - Awayfrom existing residential and commercial developments.  adequate public. street system to. support fruck traffic.  Primary Land Use Types:  Mining and Extraction Establishments - These facilities locate according to the availability of natural resources. This includes active mining operations, which includes. surface and open-pit mining. Uses may include processing and: sorting equipment that may be associated with a mining operation. Forestry as aj form of resource extraction is classified in the Rural Areas classification and is not included in the mining and extraction establishment classification.  Design Principles: 1. 2. 3.  Noise, dust, o7 odors should be mitigated to avoid impacts on nearbyresidentidl  and commercial uses.  Perimeter" buffers should. screen the use from off-site views. Pollution prevention and water" conservation are a high priority.  CHAPTER 3, The Natural Environment Chapter ofThe Comprehensive Plan, specifically  addresses the mining of minerals. See excerpt below:  Mining & Mineral. Resources:  Greensville County'ss geologic cformations and mineral resources support a modest mining, quarry, and extraction industry. During the Pliocene Epoch about 3 to 4 million years ago, the Atlantic Ocean shoreline extended. into what is now Greensville County where the Coastal Plains meet the Piedmont Plateau at the Atlantic Fall. Line. As a result, the eastern portions of the county are dominated byformations that are mostlysand, gravel, silt, and clay. In the western    portions of the county, volcanici rock and metamorphic minerals form the bedrock along with smaller amounts of sand and. silt. In the middle of the county along the ancient Atlantic Ocean shoreline is ai mix ofsand and granite that contains various. rare heavy minerals as ai result of deposits that collected over millions ofyears as large rivers drained into the ared. Consequently, mining has more recently become a component ofthe local economy as the local geology has been) fiurther studied. Early mining operations in the county primarily. focused on clay. Today, the Skippers Quary is the only operational. mine in the county. The quarry, which has been in operation for over 30 years, is operated by Vulcan Materials and mines crushed stone from granite deposits. for roads and the construction industry. The other major mining operation in the county in Brink ceased ini late 2015. Operated by Iluka Resources, the Brink Mine was a. strip mine for heavy mineral. sands and. specifically titanium and: zirconium that was originally commissioned in 2009. Iluka Resources began the land reclamation and rehabilitation process ofthe site in 2017 and plans to complete the process by 2024. This includes the reconstruction ofsoil profiles, soil quality testing, land: surveying, earthworks, andi re-vegetation. Iluka Resources continues to hold mining leases in the ared, but no longer has any active operations in Virginid. While Greensville County has the potential for future mining projects due to the presence of heavy mineral sands, any new mining sites should be carefiully considered. and When we look at the subject properties on the Department of] Forestry's Forest Conservation Model (see Attachment "D"), we find that the properties only have an average to moderate Forest Conservation Value, thus the imposition oft the NROD Overlay District upon this property will not impact properties identified by the Department of Forestry that have very high or When we visit the Department ofConservation and Recreations VaNLA Ecological Core Areas, iti is determined that the subject properties do not rank high as far as wildlife habitat is When we visit the United States Department of Agriculture's Soil Survey Database, we. find that the proposed properties are not made up of prime farmland or farmland of statewide  reviewed. along with other components of this plan.  outstanding forest conservation value.  concerned.

(See Atfachment "F")  DIRECTORS COMMENTS  Staff has reviewed the applicant's application and has concluded that the applicant will bei in conformance with the Regulations of the Natural Resource Overlay District and the Comprehensive Plan once they have successfully obtained the required Virginia Department Energy (VDOE) permit and VDOT approval oft their traffic study. Staff recommends conditional approval contingent upon submission ofVulcans VDOE permit for the Skippers Quarry site and proofofability to post a reclamation bond. Proof of ability toj post a reclamation bond can be in the form ofa letter from VDOE stating that the applicant is a member of the VDOE Minerals Reclamation Fund and in the event that the applicant is unable to fulfill their reclamation liability, interest generated from the Mineral Reclamation Fund will be utilized to pay for  reclamation at the Skipper Quarry Site.    Staff's recommendation for conditional approval are based on the following facts:  When we analyze the Land Use Determinants set forth in the Comprehensive Plan, we find that the proposed location of the property has a unique and rare resource that offers The location is in an area that has access tol HWY 301 and Interstate 95, The existing roadway is built to meet VDOT's Industrial Roadway Standards. The project conforms to the existing land use pattern being that it is located adjacent to the existing quarry and away from major residential or commercial development, The project' application conforms to the NROD regulations (i.e., buffers, setbacks, etc.) set forth in the Zoning Ordinance and is designed to mitigate any potential nuisances to Thej proposed project will not occupy lands with a high or very high conservation value based on the Virginia Department of Forestry's Conservation Model, The proposed project is located on property that does not rank high for wildlife habitat based on DCR's Ecological Core Area mapping, and The proposed project is located on land that is not recognized as prime farmland or farmland of statewide significance based on the United States Department of  an economic opportunity for the County,  surrounding properties,  Agriculture's Soil Survey Database.
