ACfION ~ 1 OF 8 SEP 7 1993 ITEM 9 AGENDA REPOR"" CITY OF POW A Y TO: Honorable Mayor and Member~ City Council FROM: James L. Bowersox, City Ma INITIATED BY: Reba Wright-Quastler, Director of Planning Services. PROJECT PLANNER: Stephen A. Streeter, Assistant Director of Planning DATE: September 7, 1993 SUBJECT: Annua 1 Review of CalMat-Poway, Conditional Use Permit/Reclamation Plan 89-05 BACKGROUND The City approved the revised resolution for the reclamation plan on July 23, 1991. The revised resolution for the conditional use permit was approved on August 20, 1991. The City Council received and filed the first annual report on Conditional Use Permit and Reclamation Plan 89-05 for CalMat-Poway on August 25, 1992. FINDINGS Jul v 30. 1992 The CalMat-Poway property was inspected by staff members from the Engineering, Pl anni ng and Safety Servi ces Departments, Severo Chavez, Ca 1 Mat Ass i stant Manager for Planning and Land Management and Joe Klein, CalMat project manager. The chain link fence with gate was installed at the Kirkham Way entrance on May 13, 1992. Barbed wi re fenci ng has been placed around the peri phery of the property on the upper slopes. The uphill road slopes were stable with no signs of extensive erosion. The downhill road slopes may need hydroseed if sloughing off occurs and the siltation basins receive much soil. A chain link fence was installed to protect the 0.2 acre area of riparian scrub habitat within the Beeler Creek floodplain. ACTION: I j 2 OF 8 SEP '1 1993 ITEM 9 - .- Agenda Report September 7, 1993 Page 2 There had been one operational day since November 1991 to deliver 10 loads of concrete to a residence along Beeler Canyon Road. , The water storage tank, fire hydrant and water lines were inspected. A separate test i ng of the system wi 11 be arranged with the Safety Services Department. CalMat plans a static high pressure test of the water lines, chlorination and a bacterial test. Calmat had been operating the Poway plant at marginal capacity over the prior year due to the slowdown in construction activities county-wide. They reported that there had not been efforts to modernize or upgrade the capacity of the plant and that will probably not occur until the economic situation improves. The conditions of approval for the reclamation plan and the CUP were reviewed with the CalMat staff. The letter submitted by CalMat addressed the status of compliance with a number of the conditions. CalMat was commended for their efforts over the prior year to address the issues raised by the City Council, City staff and the public. They had made reasonable progress in fulfilling the conditions of approval and had fulfilled all of the physical improvements, as required, by May 1992. AUQust 26. 1992 During the August 25, 1992 City Council meeting, Betty Rexford, a resident along Creek Road, expressed concern about keeping the access gate from Beeler Canyon Road locked at all times. On August 26, 1992, a fire department "Knox" lock was installed on the gate by Safety Services staff to assure control of the gate usage for emergency purposes. Use of the Beeler Canyon Road access for short periods of time (due to planned or unforeseen blockage of the Kirkham Way access route) may be allowed for 1 i mi ted peri ods in the future. Clearance from the Planning Services, Engineering Services and Safety Services Departments must be obtained to justify the temporary opening of the gate on a non-emergency basis. June 18. 1993 A temporary use permit was processed and filming was conducted for scenes from "The Renegade", by Stu Segall Productions, during late afternoon and evening hours on a portion of the CalMat property beyond the paved section of Beeler Canyon Road. Julv 1. 1993 CalMat was sent a letter to clarify the status of the conditional use permit (CUP)/reclamation plan for the CalMat-Poway operation. The physical improvement conditions were completed, as required, by May 1992. Though there had been little ope rat i ona 1 activity since the permit was approved in July/August 1991, the CUP/reclamation plan was confirmed as being vested based on the phys i ca 1 improvements that were completed and future compl iance with the operational 3 OF 8 SEP '1 1993 ITEM 9 Agenda Report September 7, 1993 Page 3 requirements. The conditions pertaining to excavating and process i ng the aggregate apply during production over the balance of the 40 years remaining from the date of permit approval. AUQust 9. 1993 The CalMat-Poway property was inspected by staff members from the Planning and Safety Services Departments, Severo Chavez, Ca lmat Assi stant Manager for Pl anni ng and Land Management, Robert Imler, District Manager for North San Diego County District and Joe Klein, Calmat project manager. The Engineering Services staff member was unable to attend on that day. An Engineering and Planning Services staff visit to the site was held on August 23, 1993 with Joe Klein of CalMat in attendance. Overhead loadout bunkers are stored on the site for future use. The bunkers were salvaged from a former CalMat operation called Tidelands in National City. Security has been an issue for the plant site. Since there have been few days of operation over the past year, break-ins at the office building and vandalism to the outbuildings have occurred. The heavy rains in January and February 1993 caused erosion and siltation which had been largely cleaned up. One remaining task is the removal of about two feet of dirt around the fire hydrant. Landscape maintenance is done about twice a month with some maintenance outside the fence along the Beeler Canyon Road frontage and the rest done by accessing the site from Kirkham Way for landscaping and irrigation within the plant site. When the plant is activated for concrete batch production, a lead time of about twohweeks is needed. A similar period is needed for the aggregate production pla t. Aggregate base is the only product that has left the plant over the past year. As stated in Attachment A, the plant operated for a total of five days between November 1991 and June 1993. There were 62 truck trips generated during that time from the CalMat-Poway plant. CalMat will continue to use the balance of the 330,000 cubic yards of stockpiled material obtained several years ago from Cadillac Fairview before conducting new excavation. This ope rat i ona 1 procedure conforms with the conditions and mitigation measures in the resolutions for the reclamation plan and conditional use permit. The Engineering Services staff will review the $50,000 reclamation bond to determine whether an annual adjustment is necessary. This condition is to ensure the reclamation of the existing excavated area at any given time during the life of the aggregate operation.

A radar unit of the Sheriff's Department is parked along Creek Road/Beeler Canyon Road on a random basis each month. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The annual review is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . A subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified for this project by City Council Resolution No. 90-163 of August 7, 1990. FISCAL IMPACT Mitigation monitoring costs of staff time will be paid by applicant. ADDITIONAL PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND CORRESPONDENCE Agenda reports were sent to the Creek Road Residents Association and to CalMat. The letter from CalMat addressing the status of the operation between November 1991 and June 1993 has been received and is attached.

Box 789 Poway, California 92074-0789 Re: Conditional Use Permit/Reclamation Plan 89-05 CalMat-Poway facility, annual report. Dear Mr. Streeter: As you are aware, the CalMat-Poway facility has had a limited operation last year. For the time period between November 30, 1991 to June 30, 1993 the plant has been operated a total of five (5) days. During that time period a total of 62 trucks trips left the poway plant. This limited production is a result of a very slow economy and CalMat's management decision to reduce all of its operations in the County in response to the economy. Thank you for your assistance with this Conditional Use Permit and Reclamation plan. - On a related matter, you should have received a copy of the mining operation annual report for the 1992 reporting period sent to you and the Department of Conservation, office of mine reporting and reclamation compliance. If you have not received this report call me and I will make arrangements to provide you eith another copy. Very truly yours, CaH'lat Co. S~Ch~ Project Manager sd..9-05 ATTACHMENT A St?
