Pyramid Construction Environmental Assessment

The purpose of this project is to allow production of mineral materials in eastern Imperial County.  BLM conducted a competitive bid sale in August 2007 in which Pyramid Construction was awarded 1,000,000 tons of waste rock from the former Padre Madre gold mine site.  The proposed project would mine existing overburden stockpiles remaining at the site and process these materials for sale as construction aggregate in the local Imperial County market.  The project would reduce, reuse, and reclaim or recycle what are considered wastes, thus removing waste stockpiles and restoring the area to near-original surface contours.

This Environmental Assessment is being submitted for public review/comment.  Comments may be submitted by 1) mail - Bureau of Land Management, El Centro Field Office, 1661 South 4th Street, El Centro, CA 92243  Attn: Daniel Steward, 2) email - Daniel_Steward@ca.blm.gov, or 3) fax - 760-337-4490 Attn: Daniel Steward.  Comments must be postmarked by January 5 2009.
