This item concerns a proposed new and expanded mine that would impact wetlands and surface waters. The project requires approval as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) application by the Board of County Commissioners. The process is currently at the Special Master Hearing stage, indicating it is under review. If approved, the project would involve significant site clearing and grading, potentially including earthmoving and excavation. It may also require extensive stormwater management systems and utility work. The scope could extend to road construction or improvements for access and material transport. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage before final plans and permits are issued. Early involvement allows businesses to understand project needs and prepare for potential bids.
