76-513. Mining and extraction.


Sand and gravel mining or extraction, similar removal operations, quarry excavating and land stripping may be permitted as a special land use only in the A-1 district. When passing upon the application for the location of a mining and/or extractive operation, the planning commission must be satisfied that sufficient material to be mined or extracted exists on the site in question to justify such operation and that such use would not be detrimental to other permitted land uses in the A-1 and adjoining zoning district as provided by the standards set forth in this article. This section concerns only the location of mining and extractive industry operations, licensing and operational regulations being controlled by Ordinance No. 17 of the township.
