THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON,
ORDAINS as follows:
Section 1. The surface mining goals and policies of Ordinance
No. PL -20, the Deschutes County Year 2000 Comprehensive Plan, as
amended, is further amended by a new plan policy 15(A) to read as
follows:
"15(A). As part of periodic review, the County will
evaluate the economic, social, environmental and energy
consequences of conflicting resources identified as
significant Goal 5 resources in the ESEE analysis for
surface mining sites and will develop program(s) to
achieve the Goal (OAR 660, Division 16). The ESEE
analysis and program(s) for protecting each 'significant'
Goal 5 resource will be consistent with the ESEE analysis
and OAR 660, Division 16. If upon further examination,
the County determines that a resource, described as a
conflicting resource in an ESEE analysis for a 3(b) or
3(c) surface mining site is not a 'significant' Goal 5
resource or that the level of protection is not
consistent with the level of protection for the
conflicting resource adopted under a surface mining ESEE
analysis, the County will re-evaluate its ESEE analysis
to be consistent with the new determination for the
conflicting Goal 5 resource. Consistent with OAR 660,
Division 16, the County will reconsider its decisions
pursuant to any revised ESEE analysis for surface mining
sites.
"Where impacts upon a Goal 5 resource are identified as
a social consequence of conflicting residential uses
(e.g., scenic and wildlife amenities of rural lifestyles)
and the amenities are not identified as significant Goal
5 resources conflicting with the mining site, the
evaluation process described above is not required to be
undertaken. The county will document the reason for not
conducting the evaluation described above."
Section 2. Policy 8 of the surface mining goals and policies
of Ordinance No. PL -20, the Deschutes County Year 2000
Comprehensive Plan, as amended, is amended to read as follows:

"Sufficient SM (Surface Mining) zoning shall be main-
tained by the County to satisfy, at a minimum, the demand
for mineral and aggregate resources of the County as
reflected by the data contained in the comprehensive
plan. The County shall not deny SM zoning for any
mineral and aggregate resource site for the sole reason
that the demand of the County for that resource has been
satisfied by the SM zoning of other sites."
Section 3. This Ordinance being necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency
is declared to exist, and this Ordinance takes effect on its
passage. ,
