Receipts include, but are not limited to, bills of sale, bills of lading, and notices of transfer.(18) "Registered geologist" means an individual that is currently licensed as a geologist with the State of California, Department of Consumer Affairs, Board of Geology and Geophysicists.(19) "Remote location" means any location that is at least one (1.0) mile from the location of a receptor. "Receptor" includes, but is not limited to, any hospital, school, day care center, work site, business, residence, and permanent campground. The distance to the nearest receptor is to be measured from the outermost limit of the area to be disturbed or road surface, whichever is closer.(20) "Restricted material" means any of the following:(A) Aggregate material extracted from property where any portion of the property is located in a geographic ultramafic rock unit (as defined in subsection (i)(9)); and(B) Aggregate material extracted from property that is NOT located in a geographic ultramafic rock unit (as defined in subsection (i)(9)) if the material has been: 1. Evaluated at the request of the Air Pollution Control Officer (APCO) and determined to be ultramafic rock or serpentine;2. Tested at the request of the APCO and determined to have an asbestos content of 0.25 percent or greater; or3. Determined by the owner/operator of a facility to be ultramafic rock, serpentine, or aggregate material that has an asbestos content of 0.25 percent or greater.(C) Any mixture of aggregate material that contains ten percent (10%) or more of any of the materials listed above in subsections (i)(20)(A) or (i)(20)(B), or any combination thereof, shall also be considered "restricted material."(21) "Riprap" means material used to construct a loose assemblage of stones along a water course or shoreline to prevent erosion or provide stability.(22) "Road surface" means the traveled way of a road and any shoulder which extends up to ten (10) feet from the edge of the traveled way.(23) "Sand and gravel operation" means any aggregate-producing facility operating in alluvial deposits.(24) "Serpentine" means any form of the following hydrous magnesium silicate minerals: antigorite, lizardite, and chrysotile.(25) "Serpentinite" means a rock consisting almost entirely of serpentine, although small amounts of other minerals such as magnetite, chromite, talc, brucite, and tremolite-actinolite may also be present. "Serpentinite" is a metamorphic derivative of the ultramafic rocks, peridotite, pyroxenite, or dunite.(26) "Surfacing" means the act of providing or creating a temporary or permanent covering for a surface used for pedestrians, motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, decoration, landscaping, soil stabilization, or erosion control. Examples of surfaces include, but are not limited to, roads, road shoulders, streets, access roads, alleys, lanes, driveways, parking lots, playgrounds, trails, squares, plazas, and fairgrounds. For the purposes of this section, "surfacing" does not include creating a covering composed of asphalt concrete or portland cement concrete.(27) "Ultrabasic rock" means ultramafic rock.(28) "Ultramafic rock" means an igneous rock composed of 90 percent or greater of one or a combination of the following iron/magnesium-rich, dark-colored silicate minerals: olivine, pyroxene, or more rarely amphibole. For the purposes of this section, "ultramafic rock" includes the following rock types: dunite, pyroxenite, and peridotite; and their metamorphic derivatives.Appendix A
