Kings County Braces for Monster El Niño After Tule River Broke Through Its Banks in at Least 50 Places in 2023

Kings County supervisors declared a preemptive state of emergency on Oct. 13, preparing for potential flooding as forecasters warn of an extraordinarily strong El Niño bearing down on the southern San Joaquin Valley this winter. The move comes more than three years after the Tule River broke through its banks in at least 50 places, and officials say the memory of 2023 — when floodwaters damaged homes, dairies, businesses, roads and infrastructure — is shaping how the county and its web of water agencies are gearing up this time around.

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. The planning commission recommended an alternative version to be half as deep for 63 years — an option the company’s representatives said they would accept at the October commission meeting. The commission voted 3-3, which meant the request from CEMEX failed to get support for an approval. The company quickly appealed that decision, sending it the supervisors. Critics have argued continuing to mine in the
