The vested mining rights were approved by the SB County Planning Commission in a hearing on 3/17/2019.  This part of the project is for the required "reclamation" aspect of the mining impact on the surrounding area. As I read it (do correct), the Mitigated Negative Declaration does one address the issues raised by the mining part of this project - it only deals with the reclamation aspects of it. Therefore, the impacts as described are diminimus compared to those of the mining operation and not addressed in the Negative Dec.
You'd have to go back to the Planning Commission docs from 2019 to see the scale of the operation proposed and what mitigations were required by the County.

Yes, I read through it last night and saw that they have a vested interest in the mine. However, if it's been a while since there was active mining, it could be considered abandoned. Then they would need entirely new permits. Does anyone know when that mine was last worked? Someone suggested checking with the Wrightwood Historical Society. Anyone have a contact for them? I'll be out of town all day today or I would swing by the museum.

Is there a public comment period? I have some major concerns including truck traffic and air quality. I grew up near the cement plant in Riverside and the silica dust from the mining operations caused major health issues.

As I read the documents, the mining claim is permanent, and the County can't stop it directly.

This is about the mitigation/remediation plan.  If that can be stopped, then there is a chance they can't mine.

The remediation plan runs through the year 2175.
