Notice of Intent To Adopt an Initial Study (IS) / Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) Waddell Reclamation Plan Amendment and Use Permit Amendment Project (RP-01-00-1M and UP-19-74-1M)

The Project site is located in an unincorporated part of Siskiyou County approximately 8 miles north of the community of Happy Camp along Indian Creek Road. The APNs associated with this project are 009-340-350, 009-330-230 & 009-330-240. The project is proposing to amend the existing Use Permit and Reclamation Plan to expand the quarry excavation area and allow continued mining activities at the site for an additional 30 years. The proposed project would allow for the continued removal, crushing and stockpiling of aggregate onsite. Mining operations would continue Monday through Friday with no night, weekend, or holiday operations. Hours of operation will be 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Blasting will continue to occur every two to three years, in the late winter or early spring between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. The operations at this site will vary based on the need of the aggregate product produced at the site. It is estimated that approximately 250 truckloads of material will be transported from the site with an average of five loads per week.
