Ward Lake Pit Amendment

Ward Lake Pit Amendment

Proposal to amend mining operations at the Ward Lake Pit (CA mine ID #91-18-0008). If approved, the amendment would allow for 24-hour mining operations six days per week (currently 6:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Saturday), extend the life of the mine from 2020 to 2030, increase annual maximum site production from 100,000 tons to 200,000 tons, and increase the estimated number of truck trips from 10 per day and 55 per week to 150 per day and 900 per week. The surface mining operation currently occupies 160 acres on a 442-acre parcel, owned by TLT Enterprises LLC.
