Modification No. 1 of Conditional Use Permit Case No. 2, Map 95

Modification No. 1 of Conditional Use Permit Case No. 2, Map 95, issued by Kern County, California, seeks to extend the operational life of an existing mine located approximately two miles north of State Route 58 and ten miles northwest of McKittrick in Western Kern County, while revising reclamation requirements under Section 19.100 of the county’s land use regulations within an A (Exclusive Agriculture) District. The modification aims to adjust revegetation standards to align with ongoing mining activities and ensure compliance with local land use policies, with environmental review waived under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) due to a determination that the action will not have a significant environmental effect. The project is administered by the Kern County Planning and Natural Resources Department, with Randall P. Cates, Planner III, serving as the primary point of contact and Mark Switzer identified as the project operator. The permit modification was noticed on May 12, 2025, with a public hearing deadline of April 10, 2025, and the notice was posted publicly on January 28, 2026. No federal contract clauses under FAR, procurement value, pricing details, payment terms, invoicing protocols, or federal acquisition requirements are applicable or present, as this is a local land-use decision under state and county jurisdiction. Submission of materials must be made physically to the Kern County office at 2700 M Street, Bakersfield, CA 93301, with no electronic submission options or formal proposal formatting requirements specified. The permit does not include federal certifications, socioeconomic designations, key personnel requirements, or contract options, and no financial estimates, delivery schedules, or inspection protocols beyond reclamation standards under Section 19.100 are outlined.
