Tuolumne County Business Council Supports Blue Mountain Minerals
Sonora, CA — The Environmental Impact Report for the planned Blue Mountain Minerals project is going through the county review process.
The company is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to add 27-acres to its Agricultural Fill area. The EIR is available on the county’s website, and the comment period runs through February 13.

Tuolumne County had approved a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, which essentially allowed the project to proceed, but a lawsuit was filed by the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center. Rather than fight the litigation, the company chose to conduct a full EIR.
