CEMEX Mining and Reclamation Plan Permit Amendment (ZF #2018-0015)

CEMEX seeks to amend its existing mining permit and reclamation plan for its off-channel operations in Yolo County, California, to extend the permit term by 20 years through 2047 and expand operational capacity. The amendment increases the total allowable tonnage, expands the area of simultaneous disturbance and processing activities, and adjusts phase boundaries while removing Phase 7 entirely. Reclamation timing is deferred for certain phases, and the plan shifts the balance of reclaimed land uses by reducing agricultural recovery and increasing the area designated for lake formation, while also expanding habitat restoration. The proposal includes corrections to inconsistencies between approved plans and actual on-the-ground conditions, ensuring alignment with current operations. The permitting process is governed by Yolo County’s Mining Ordinance and the California Environmental Quality Act, with oversight from the County’s Department of Community Services. The site, located at 30288 State Route 16 in Woodland, has been in operation since the 1970s, and the amendment requires compliance with strict reclamation standards including soil horizon restoration, groundwater protection, dust control, and long-term monitoring to meet SMARA requirements. No federal procurement elements are present—the process is a local land-use regulatory approval, not a contracted procurement—so there are no contract clauses, pricing details, delivery terms, or federal acquisition regulations applied. Performance obligations center on environmental mitigation, cultural resource protection, and adherence to approved reclamation benchmarks, with formal acceptance granted by Yolo County Planning Division upon verification of compliance. Technical attachments support the amendment with revised figures on reclaimed uses, evaporation estimates, habitat maps, and correspondence, all tied to CEQA-mandated environmental review rather than federal contracting procedures.
