(A) It is recognized that mining and its associated excavation, dewatering, trucking of soils from the site, and other land disturbance activities are incompatible with surrounding residential properties found in the East Lake tax district. The noise, dust, and other environmental impacts that result from mining activities and their accompanying borrow pits pose threats to the public health, safety and welfare of residents and property owners in the East Lake tax district.
(B) Therefore, the Board of Commissioners finds it to be in the best interest of public health, safety and welfare to enact appropriate regulations and safeguards to apply to all properties located in the East Lake tax district as established in this chapter.
