An Environmental Impact Statement is being prepared to address CEMEX and Service Rock Products’ proposals to construct, operate and maintain mineral material mines in Sloan Hills. Upon completion of the EIS, a competitive sale would dispose of mineral materials; there is no guarantee that CEMEX and Service Rock Products would be winning bidders.  

 

The Proposed Action consists of two proposed competitive mineral material sales that would result in two open pit dolomite/limestone quarries that would merge in the future into one open pit. The proposed project may include facilities for mining limestone and dolomite from a series of rugged hills at Sloan, Nevada. This material would be used for construction aggregate in the Southern Nevada area.
