RESOLUTION N0. ~a
WHEREAS, extensive sand and gravel excavation occurs in
unincorporated areas of the State which is largely unregulated; and
WHEREAS, these operations frequently create conditions which destroy
wildlife habitats, promote unpermitted dumping of solid waste, create drainage
problems, endanger water quality, create unattractive nuisance, encroach on
public rights-of way, and contribute significantly to the deterioration of
State and County roads; and
WHEREAS, these sites are commonly closed with no efforts made toward
reclamation, since no requirements for site closure exist: NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS,
I. that the City of Fort Worth, Texas, support the development of
legislation that would enable municipalities to regulate sand and
gravel excavation and land reclamation located in their
extra-territorial jurisdiction and counties to regulate the same in
the remaining unincorporated areas; and
2. that the City of Fort Worth, Texas, support legislation which
provides for municipalities and counties to collect permitting fees
Co offset any costs incurred for application review and other
administrative requirements.
