Sioux Rock Quarry EAW review postponed as Planning Commission seeks more time
Summary
Planning staff reported the March 13 Planning Commission postponed action on whether an EIS is required for the Sioux Rock Quarry because members needed more time to review the Response to Comments; the next review is scheduled for April 3.
Alex Schultz, Planning & Zoning Technician, updated commissioners on the Sioux Rock Quarry Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). Schultz said the Planning Commission met on March 13 to discuss the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) but postponed further action until April 3 because commissioners lacked time to review the Response to Comments. No vote or county decision on the EIS requirement was recorded at the March 18 meeting.
The delay preserves time for regulators and reviewers to examine the Response to Comments; the county’s subsequent steps will depend on the Planning Commission’s April 3 meeting and any determinations about an EIS. The minutes note only the postponement and do not include technical details of the EAW or the comments themselves.
