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 was submitted for public review/comment.  Comments were accepted through January 5, 2009.
