COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Community Development Department has just started the permitting process for the Pioneer
Aggregates (CalPortland) mine expansion. The proposal under review is to begin mining the South
Parcel that was designated as part of the Mineral Resource Overlay in 2006, which consists of 188-
acres. We anticipate this project will generate a lot of concern and questions. To help with this, we
have launched a new webpage devoted to the project at this link:
