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.

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.

Here’s 2 links to county proceedings in Feb/Mar 2019. I’m not seeing a 3/17/19 meeting.

The last date was 3/7 - not 3/17. Thanks

I note that staff recommended the determination of vested mining rights be denied and recommended a Conditional Use Permit.  The 3/7/19 memo laid out the determinations for approval, denial, or referral to the Supervisors.  The minutes of the meeting would summarize the action taken.
