ASSUMPTION
Officials with the Department of Transportation, Department of Economic Development, Department of Revenue, Office of Attorney General and Department of Conservation assume no fiscal impact to their agency.
Officials with the Department of Natural Resources assume this proposal would exempt any sand or gravel operator that mines less than 5,000 tons of gravel per year from regulation and licensing.
Currently, there are approximately 130 operators who remove less than 5,000 tons of sand and gravel from streams annually. Each permit costs $300 (130 x $300 = $39,000). The cost for administering, permitting, and enforcing these permits averages $500 each (130 x $500 = $65,000). Therefore, the department assumes there would be a net cost avoidance of $26,000 as a result of this proposal.
