Will Fresno County allow 600-foot blast pit near San Joaquin River? Supervisors to decide

A mining company has asked the Fresno County Board of Supervisors to approve its appeal to allow blast mining to continue for about 60 more years near the San Joaquin River after the project failed to get support last month from the region’s planning commission. The Mexico-based multinational company CEMEX appealed their proposed project to modify the Rockfield Aggregate Facility on North Friant Road to the supervisors. The new request also includes a more modest mine as an alternative to the original. The company and its detractors are expected to present their arguments to the board at a special meeting at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, at the Fresno County Hall of Records, 2281 Tulare St. CEMEX’s proposed project would allow them to dig and blast through hard rock as deep as 600 feet for 100 years.

Critics have argued continuing to mine in the
