What process will be involved in obtaining requested approval?
The mine operator has submitted a proposal for renewal and expansion of the Permanente Quarry reclamation plan. After an initial review of the project plans the County began the environmental impact review process consistent with requirements under CEQA. Completing the CEQA process is the most time consuming stage and requires preparing a complete environmental analysis. Essential to this review is geologic analysis for slope stability. This particular analysis may affect the design of the interior benches within the existing and the proposed new quarry pit.
