MINERAL RESOURCE LANDS NOTICE

Parcel Number: _________________

Address: _______________________

Legal Description: _______________

Notice: This parcel lies within or near an area of land designated Mineral Resource Lands by the City of Gig Harbor. A variety of commercial mineral extraction activities occur in the area that may be inconvenient or cause discomfort to area residents. This may arise from the use of heavy equipment, chemicals, and spraying which may generate dust, smoke, and noise associated with the extraction of mineral resources. The City of Gig Harbor has established mineral resource extraction as a priority use on existing productive mineral resource lands, and residents of adjacent property should be prepared to accept such inconvenience or discomfort from normal, necessary mineral resource extraction operations.
