Mining in just the manner being discussed for Island Mountain has been going on for fifty years
along the San Gabriel River in Los Angeles county. You don't think that gets scrutiny??? The
"pollution" from these quarries is absolutely minimal, the conveyors and the dredge are electric
as is the sorting and resizing facilities. Further, the nice big holes which have been dug are one
of the principle means of replenishing the San Gabriel Aquafier. I'm at a loss to understand what
you people think would transpire at the quarry site.
