Lee began by explaining where the Eagle Cliff Quarry is located. She informed the BoCC of the previous vs. current permitting process
regarding mines. The mine owners conducted an H&H study, which was preliminarily reviewed by FEMA. In addition, DNR has issued an Order to Rectify Deficiencies. FEMA, Ecology, DNR and the County have been coordinating efforts for reviews. There are concerns over mining in the
floodway. Commissioner Stamper visited the site “a couple months ago.”
He said neighbors are complaining due to the mines hours of operation.
Commissioner Stamper asked if the mine owner could potentially “fix” the floodway issues. A joint enforcement action plan is being explored between the Department of Ecology and Lewis County. Lee will request assistance from Ecology to review the H&H study. 2. Planning Division a. Planning Commission Lee informed the BoCC the Planning Commission is still one member short. Eric E. may know someone that is interested. He
