(k) The Operations Plan and the Rehabilitation Plan shall be coordinated so that the amount of disturbed land is kept to the absolute minimum consonant with good practices and so that rehabilitation proceeds in concert with extraction. (l) No land disturbance shall take place within 250 feet of the zoning lot line or the property line where the zoning line and the property line are one and the same. Within the 250 foot setback area, existing vegetation shall be retained for the purpose of providing a visual screen and noise buffer. No disturbance or removal of vegetation shall be permitted except for access roads leading from the excavation area to public roads. Where vegetation within the 250 foot setback does not exist, the applicant shall be required to provide a dense, evergreen buffer consistent with the purpose cited above. The buffer shall be in place prior to the initiation of any excavation activities.

(o) In cases of abandonment or termination of operations for a period of 12 consecutive months, application for a new Special Use Permit is required.

Such performance guarantee shall be in a form approved by the County Attorney. The amount of such guarantee shall cover the cost of rehabilitation on a per acre basis, if the cost does not exceed the amount posted with the State. If the rehabilitation cost exceeds the amounts required by the State then the difference shall be made up in a bond to Orange County.
