SMARA Mine Inspections, Lassen County

SMARA Mine Inspections
Lassen County, California
 
VESTRA was retained by Lassen County to conduct annual SMARA mine inspections.  Lassen County had struggled with insufficient staff to support the 55 surface mines in the County.  Because of the County’s lack of staff, OMR had threatened to remove most of the mines from the AB 3098 list, which would prevent Lassen County from selling aggregate to any state or federal entities, including County road departments and Caltrans.  VESTRA completed 3 years of inspections, resulting in County compliance.
