..NEW HEARING DATE..

..The Baker Rock Mining Application Hearing has been postponed again..The new date is November 10th at 1:00PM at the McMinnville Community Center..This gives us more time to prepare and more time to make more people aware of our fight..Keep the cards and letters flowing in to the Yamhill County Planning Board..Hope to see ALL of you there..Thanks..

..Recent e-mail to The Yamhill County Planning Dept..

....It's seems our planning dept has no answers for us about this question..What kind of "pumps" are not listed anywhere in Baker Rock's application, nor were they even considered or added to their DEQ Noise Study that was submitted with their application for a zone change..Kerrie G. Standlee of Daly-Standlee & Associates ( they did the noise study for this application ) wrote..:In responce to your question about a dewatering pump, yes a dewatering pump could influence the ambient noise level in your area and the amount of sound generated by such a pump could depend on whether it was electric or diesel powered."

I have forwarded your question on to the applicant. It would also be a good question to ask at the hearing. Ken Friday

..Mr. Friday..Since I am sure that your office has read and studied the app, maybe you can answer my question or direct me to the part of the app that covers this..What does Baker Rock intend to use for pumping out the water from the mine cells..Are they using an electric motor or Diesel motor for their pumps..And will these pumps be running 24 hours a day..How many gallons per minute will they be pumping out?..Please place this e-mail into the formal record for the Commissioners Hearing for this application..Thank you..Margaret Scoggan

....Questions for the County.??.

..This is the Yamhill County Tax Lot Map. You can see how large lot 5326-600 is. I live on tax lot #5326-700, so you can see why I oppose this zone change from Goal 3 farm use to Goal 5 mineral use. Also note the boundary lines for the tax lots. Do you see the lot next to #5326-600, the one without any lot #.? Do you also notice that this land is being farmed.? Being rented out by Baker Rock to a farmer, with no tax-lot, does this mean that Baker Rock is paying taxes on 174 acres but renting out more.? I don't know, maybe you should ask the County.? I got these photo's from Yamhill County's Planning Dept.'s web site.
