In addition to the business license and building (or grading) permits required elsewhere in city ordinances, any surface mining operation shall be required to have a current zoning compliance permit. No zoning compliance permit for a surface mining operation shall have a period of validity past December 31, of each calendar year, but the permit shall be automatically renewed if the mine is found to be in compliance with the standards of this chapter. The city shall determine if such compliance exists. Additionally, compliance shall be required of all surface mining operations within the city with all provisions of the federal office of surface mining, and the federal mine, safety, and health administration requirements, as well as the state and federal air quality requirements administered by the state division of air quality. (1984 Code § 15.46.050; amd. 2015 Code)
