GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY 

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 

MEMORANDUM 

DATE: February 26,2003 

TO: Gila River Sand and Gravel Board 

FROM: Daniel Blair, Air Quality Specialist 

GRIC Department of Environmental Quality 

RE: Request to meet with the Gila River Sand and Gravel Board for the purpose of 

discussing Draft Air Quality Documents 

Please find attached, for your review, a copy of the Draft ordinance for Nonmetallic Mineral 

Mining, the Draft ordinance for Material Handling and Storage Piles and a Draft Technical 

Support Document (TSD) for Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Processing. These documents 

are in the very initial stages of development and we would like to meet with you to discuss any 

questions or concerns you may have. The Air Program is committed to working with the board 

through all phases of the ordinance development process. Your input is extremely valuable in 

developing an ordinance that is reasonable and affective. 

The majority of the requirements in the draft nonmetallic mineral mining ordinance were pulled 

from the Technical Support Document and originated from Maricopa Countyrules and 

regulations. Most of the requirements in the draft ordinance were implemented by United Metro 

as part of their everyday operations in the past. 

We request that you include the DEQ on your agenda so we can discuss the draft documents. 

Please contact me or Janet Travis at (520) 562-2234 to set a date when we can meet to discuss 

the draft documents. Thank you. 
3/17/03 Pat M's notes from meeting with board 

Comments from Gila River Sand and Gravel Board on Non-metallic mineral mining and 

processing: 

Can we provide a list of consultants for due diligence when they begin to take over other sites 

(United Metro) - possible - will check 

send: Compliance and Enforcement Policy and Med Waste (administrative procedures) 

may have additional tenants in the future 

***How will we handle permitting with two different operators but one landowner~lease? 

Portable hot plants??? We need to add language to ordinance 

training for opacity reading etc. Can we get a reduced rate? A training here? 

10 years for records is too long - go with 5 (same as permit)
