Document Description
The proposed project involves the continuation of processing operations and excavation of a replacement pit for an existing aggregate mine, the GPS Ventucopa Rock Plant (GPS Mine), located about three miles north of the community of Ventucopa adjacent to Highway 33 in northeastern Santa Barbara County. The GPS Mine occupies 80 acres located about 1,000 ft north of the recently approved but not yet existing Diamond Rock Mine in the Cuyama River. The mine operator, GPS RiverRock Products, has filed an application to shift the location for the in-channel mine pit to a 20 acre area located west of the existing pit. The additional area will extend the life of the mine and provide area to mine year round when there is little to no flow in the Cuyama River.
