Document Description
The proposed project is the implementation of a reclamation plan for Diamond Quarry. The project site has been fully disturbed by ongoing limestone mining operations since the 1850s. No changes to the existing mining operations or site boundaries are proposed. Mining operations are expected to cease in 2067. Following completion of mining, reclamation would involve the removal of mining equipment and facilities exclusively related to mining, implementation of erosion and sedimentation control best management practices, regarding and revegetation, and ensuring final slope stability to support post-reclamation end land use. A post-reclamation quarry lake will be created to capture surface runoff from the site. Allowed post-reclamation land use includes "Rural Region" industrial uses as specified in the El Dorado County General Plan. As currently planned, a graded pad suitable for low-intensity use would be developed adjacent to the quarry lake.
