Document Description
The proposed project is the amendment of an existing Plan of Operations (mining permit) and a (County) Reclamation Plan. The mining permit (BLM Plan of Operations) has been environmentally assessed per National Environmental Protection Agency regulations (NEPA) (CA-670-2010-02). Per CEQA, as lead Agency for State Mine and Reclamation Act (SMARA), we must analyze the entire project, which includes the mining operation as well as the reclamation of the site even though we do not issue the mining permit on federally-owned land. Based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU dated October 1992) between Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the State of CA, the "Plan of Operations" can be utilized as the mining permit as required by SMARA. The "Operator" Val Rock, Inc. (Vulcan) has completed the required federal approvals, which includes a "Plan of Operations" and the "Decision Record".
