Planning commission approves conditional use permit for rock‑crushing operation with dust, noise and DEQ conditions
Summary
The Planning Commission approved Integrated Water Management’s conditional use permit for a 60‑acre surface/subsurface excavation and on‑site rock crusher, with conditions including a Tri‑County Health dust‑control plan, DEQ air and stormwater permits, haul‑route dust mitigation and operation‑hour limits.
The Duchesne County Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for Integrated Water Management to operate a rock‑crushing operation and extract critical infrastructure materials on a 60‑acre site east of Highway 35 and Highway 87.
Staff presented findings and recommended approval subject to standard conditions to protect nearby residents and the environment. Conditions include a dust‑control plan approved by Tri‑County Health, dust control along the haul route (3400 South), a DEQ air‑quality permit for the crusher, review for any needed industrial stormwater permit, maintaining buffer setbacks and complying with county noise‑hour limits (no noise before 7 a.m. weekdays, no earlier than 8 a.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. Sundays/holidays).
Staff noted the crusher site will be at least a quarter‑mile from the nearest residence and mining setbacks (no mining within 660 feet of an existing home) are met. The commission closed the hearing, moved to approve the permit with the recommended conditions and recorded a voice vote in favor.
Next steps for the applicant include obtaining DEQ permits, finalizing a Tri‑County Health–approved dust plan, coordinating with UDOT on access if required, and securing any building permits or bonding tied to reclamation requirements if those become necessary.
