PROJECT: Atoka Aggregate Facility - Atoka, TN, Tipton Co.
STATUS: Permitting Completed (Moffatt Property to be added in Shelby County)
PROJECT SUMMARY
Memphis Stone & Gravel Company (MS&G) owns 179.73 acres, known locally as the Van Cleave Farm, in the southern part of the recently annexed Atoka town limits. The property is located east of Bethel Road (aka Miller Road), south of Tracy Road (approximately 1/2 mile) and west of Rosemark Road (approximately 1 mile).The property is bordered on the south by the Tipton / Shelby County Border. Memphis Stone & Gravel Company has negotiated leases with two other properties (Crum Property and Smith Property) for potential sand and gravel mining. On March 22, 2006, Memphis Stone and Gravel Company (MS&G) filed an application with the Town of Atoka Board of Zoning Appeals for a permitted use to mine and process sand and gravel on the properties owned and leased by MS&G. Sand and gravel mining operations will be conducted on three different parcels, but processing operations will be done at the MS&G owned property. On June 29, 2006 Memphis Stone & Gravel Company was granted the appeal by the Town of Atoka.
An application to obtain an indvidual NPDES permit from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) was submitted in August 2006. A revised application was submitted in March 2007 to incorperate changes made by the TDEC. On June 5, 2007 and again on August 6, 2007, Memphis Stone and Gravel responded to questions posed by TDEC. Below are files that contain the current application and comments. A public hearing was conducted on February 7, 2008. On July 17, 2008, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation issued the NPDES Permit for the project. This concludes the permitting for this phase of the project. Please note that additional reserves have been leased in Shelby County and will become part of this project. These reserves are referred to as the "Moffatt Property" and permitting will take place in 2010.
