Title

Area Q Quarry

Description

San Bernardino County has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) that identifies and evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed Surface Mining and Reclamation Plan (SMRP}, Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and General Plan Amendment (GPA) for Vulcan Materials Company - Western Division's (Vulcan) proposed Area Q Quarry Project. The proposed quarry is located adjacent to Vulcan's existing Cajon Creek Quarry, west of Cajon Boulevard and north of the community of Muscoy. Once mining is completed at Vulcan's existing Cajon Creek Quarry, Vulcan is proposing to relocate the existing mining operation into an adjacent area, referred to as the Area Q Quarry. The total area of new disturbance associated with the Project would be 187.6 acres. The mining operations at the Project site would be typical of surface aggregate mining operations and would be conducted in the same manner as is currently occurring at Vulcan's existing Cajon Creek Quarry site. Once mining operations are complete, the Project site would be reclaimed to open space. Please see Section 2.0 of the Draft EIR for a detailed Project Description.
