Y which money from this fund may be appropriated by Orange County are not limited to 69 purposes within 3,000 feet of the perimeter of the quarry. OWASA will deposit $15,000 annually to this fund until the year ending December 31, 2030 or until the year in which extraction operations on the property terminate whichever first occurs. If there are any funds remaining in this fund three years after the termination of extraction operations or December 31, 2033, whichever first occurs, this fund will be terminated by Orange County and the money remaining in the fund will be transferred into the County's general fund. 15. Within two years of the issuance of this permit any property owner within a 3,000 foot radius of the property encumbered by this permit may request American Stone Company to conduct a pre -blast survey of structures on his or her property. An outside consultant selected and paid for by American Stone with expertise in this field will perform the survey for the purpose of documenting with photographs and other means the condition of the structure at the time of the survey. The expert will provide a copy of the survey to the homeowner. American Stone Company will, acting in good faith, accept responsibility for any damage alleged to have occurred after the pre -blast survey where the pre -blast survey and blasting data as determined by an expert indicate a probability but not a certainty that the damage was caused by the activities of American Stone Company. 16. American Stone Company will maintain a notification directory of all neighbors living within a 3,000 foot radius of the perimeter of the permitted property who request notification prior to blasts.

American Stone Company shall construct a 20' high berm, landscaped with grass and trees as recommended in the National Stone Association's Community Noise Manual, between the pit and relocated SRI 104 as shown on the submitted Plans for the purpose of reducing noise in the buffer area surrounding the edge of the quarry. In- all instances, the berm adjacent to the mine shall be expanded ahead of the mine expansion. 20.
