The hearing is being held pursuant to: Crook County Code (“CCC”) 18.172 (Administration Provisions).
 
The application is subject to: Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) Chapter 660, Division 16, Crook County Comprehensive Plan Ordinance No. 55, Comprehensive Plan Mineral and Aggregate Policies, and Ordinance No. 43, Crook County Goal 5 Resources (Mineral and Aggregate Elements) (to the extent consistent with Ord. 51 and Ord. 55).
