12. Total land designated and zoned for sand and gravel extraction in the metropolitan area <br />and immediately adjacent sub=areas appears adequate for demand through the planning <br />period, <br />13. Sand and gravel deposits are an important natural resource necessary for construction in <br />the metropolitan area. Nevertheless, the extraction of sand and gravel can conflict with <br />other open space and recreation values associated with water resources, vegetation, <br />wildlife habitat, and scenic quality. Proper rehabilitation and reuse of abandoned sand <br />and gravel sites results in the return of valuable land for urban uses, including open space. <br />'Lane County addressed the Goal 5 requirements in effect at the time of Metro P1071 <br />desi( tion, zotdiig or ermittin for mineral and a e ate o erations outside the UCI3 <br />including potential conflicts with inventoried wetlands; riparian corridors, and wildlife <br />habitat.
