Document Description
The project would approve aggregate mining operations on, and reclamation plans for, three new quarry pits in the Livermore-Amador Valley, on approximately 212 acres, and would provide a continuous additional source of high-grade aggregate resource to the construction trade of the east San Francisco Bay Area for several years. The beneficiaries of the operation would be the land owner, Rhodes & Jamieson Company, and the selected operator of the quarries, at this time presumed to be Vulcan Materials Corporation. Reclamation of the site woud involve the creation of three new water storage lakes, augmenting the storage capacity of the Livermore-Amador Valley Chain of Lakes, for the purposes of floor control or recycled water storage. Beneficiary of this aspect of the project would be the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7, and the citizens of eastern Alameda County.
