Receive and file presentation from Transit Mixed Concrete representatives on the proposed
aggregate mining operation in Soledad Canyon.
Transit Mixed Concrete has requested an opportunity to present to the City Council their
proposal for an aggregate mining operation in Soledad Canyon. It is important to reiterate
that the City of Santa Clarita has no jurisdiction over the approval of this project. The
close proximity to the City limits and the direct affect on the quality of life for residents of
the entire Valley, however, prompted the City Council to become involved in the
environmental approval process for this project.
Over the course of the federal and local environmental review processes, the City has raised
concerns on a variety of issues, including: air quality, environmental impacts to the Santa
Clara River, the tremendous amount of precious water that will be necessary to serve the
project, viewshed impacts, transportation impacts and the effect of a large number of gravel
trucks on the safety of drivers and local school buses.
This presentation will be an opportunity for the City Council to hear the project proponents
describe the entire project and the mitigation measures that they believe address the City's
concerns. After the formal presentation, the City Council will have an opportunity to ask
questions to Transit Mixed Concrete representatives. After the City Council concludes this
portion of the meeting, as required by law, there will be a public comment period.
FISCAL IMPACT
No direct additional fiscal impact.
