The applicant for the project is C. A. Rasmussen, Inc. The multi- purpose facility is proposed to 1,,- onsist of a large Class III landfill (municipal refuse only), a sand and gravel quarry, and a sportsman's center (tennis courts, golf driving range, recreation center, trap and skeet ranges, etc.) - The County General Plan land use designation and the zoning for the site are both Open Space. The zoning requires approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the requested uses. A presubmittal meeting for a CUP has been scheduled by the County for August 29, 1991, at 2:00 p.m. Discussion Attached are fact sheets on the proposed Dry Canyon project that were prepared by the applicant. They provide general information on the proposed project components as well as the location. Staff contacted Bob Laughlin, the supervisor of the Commercial and Industrial Land Use Section of the County Planning Division to determine whether any additional information had been provided to the County on the proposed project,, Mr. Laughlin identified that the fact sheets are the only information the Planning Division has received to date. He confirmed that, Moorpark staff are invited to the presubmittal meeting and will have the opportunity to ask questions of the applicant and make suggestions regarding application completeness. The same presubmittal process was followed by the County for the Weldon Canyon Landfill as well as the Alamos Canyon Landfill. Apparently, there have already been two presubmittal meetings held for the Alamos Canyon Landfill, and a formal application is expect=ed t, ')Er f l-: d this year.

Either the current Waste Commission or its successor commission /task force will review and provide a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on any landfill. CUP. Staff does intend to attend the scheduled CUP presubmittal meeting on August 29th. We do not intend to develop a list of recommended application requirements prior to the first presubmittal meeting on August 29th, due to the limited project description information that has been provided. Staff will request that the County continue to keep the City informed and involved, since the proposed Dry Canyon project will directly affect the City of Moorpark, particularly in regard to traffic, impacts Recommendation Direct staff as deemed appropriate.

FRY CANYON QUARRY QUARRY HISTORY Quarry activity at Dry Canyon begar. almost 50 years ago. The striking beauty of the volcanic rock deposits proved a valuable commodity to the first quarry operators at Dry Canyon This decorative rock was quarried and sold to consumers first in the earl 1940s. In 1945 the first sand production facility was constructed at Dry Canyon. This facility, which partially still stands on the site, proved an excellent source of sand into the late 1970s. after a change of ownership, sand production operations ceased and the facility was left in disrepair. In 1988 C. A. Rasmussen Company having recognized the value of the large sand and gravel deposit, purchased the property and began efforts to re- establish quarry operations in Dr -y Canyon. GBOLOGIC SBYTIAG The proposed commodity to be mined for on -site consists primarily of sand and gravels with variable concentrations of pebbles and cobbles. Testing done in November of 1990 by BTC Laboratories confirm that the materials on -site are well suited for use in a wide range of rock products. The northern portion of the property is underlain by marine bedrock units of the Miocene age Hodelo Formation and the Pliocene age Pico Formation. South of these marine units and underlying the majority of the property are units of the non- marine Saugus Formation of Plio - Pleistocene age. Bedrock is overlain By Holocene! surficial deposits of canyon bottom alluvium and slopewash. Sediments of the Saugus Formation . which underlie the site are a source for sand and gravel. Sand and gravel comprise basic ingredients for a large variety of rock products including Portland cement concrete aggregate, plaster sand, road base and bituminous concrete aggregate. EARTH MATERIALS 510PiHas Natural slopes on the property are mantled with slopewash, which consists of brown silty sand to sandy oil which varies in thickness. &lluviun Recent alluvium is found in most of the natural canyons and swales on the parcel. This loose, generally porous material is derived from the surrounding soils and bedrock. Bedrocks Saugus Formation The Plio- Pleistocene Saugus Formation found in this area of Ventura County consists of deltaic deposits of sandstone, pebbly sandstone, and conglomerate --- which grade downward into fine to medium - grained, clayey sandstone and siltstone of esturine origin. The Saugus Formation has been an economic source of sand and gravel to the Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks market areas. Sediments of this formation will be the source for the proposed sand and gravel mining operation, and represents the main source rock on ^_his parcel for such an operation. Modelo Formation Modelo Formation sediments outcrop along the northern property boundary and consist of clay shale and diatomaceous shale. These marine sediments of Miocene age are brilliant red in color and will be mined as decorative rock. 0 printed on recycled paper n - ��`. 1�,�� -� �, •rte ,- � :'./,''-. ..yam. .�•- ?`- __ -.�.5 •L •r.r- -r, '_.jam �; �S �� .�-• .�_ ,s• _ �,. .} Mrs: }' •r• .� �. `ts..'L.�•�� ! i q� '."r� . r+ ••,i _ � _ it �'' `i.� �- ` `t ` `1%� � � � • � ;��;� ��x�• ''i• 't `'` _ - .w.. �!• •,ate•. - - - ` -;,rte - •� .,. `� 1 ;�?. - ^�; •!� - d - •}�= /y. pL��^! •`;� r ��. �� .�i t�s ! +ems- ��.'•, TA l Je tot I � •.r I -r �� .
