Persistence Mine Reclamation Plan

The Persistence Mine Reclamation Plan involves the restoration of two non-contiguous mining pits—the 85-acre Eastern Pit and the 41-acre Western Pit—totaling 126 acres located approximately 6.3 miles south of Johannesburg on SR 395 in San Bernardino County, California, with a ZIP code of 93555. The project is led by Gold Discovery Group LLC as the applicant and overseen by San Bernardino County as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), with regulatory approval of the Plan of Operation pending from the Bureau of Land Management. The primary deliverable is a comprehensive Reclamation Plan that includes completion of an Environmental Impact Report, a Notice of Determination, and implementation of mitigation measures to address environmental impacts; no technical or construction specifications beyond CEQA compliance are outlined. The county’s Planning Commission approved the project on September 18, 2025, and all official records are maintained at 385 N. Arrowhead Ave., San Bernardino, CA 92415. There is no formal federal contract structure present in the documentation; the effort is governed entirely by state environmental regulations and county-level administrative processes rather than federal acquisition regulations. No contract value, payment terms, delivery schedule, invoicing method, or contracting officer details are provided, and no FAR clauses, evaluation factors, or procurement-specific requirements such as small business certifications, unique entity identifiers, or performance incentives are included. The primary contact for the project is Derek Newland, Planner II at San Bernardino County, and there is no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative, technical representative, or official contract type. All documentation is centered on environmental compliance, with no mention of packaging, marking, inspection criteria beyond CEQA findings, security clearances, key personnel, or option periods. The solicitation is classified as a forecast with no solicitation number and no formal offeror instructions, submission deadlines, or proposal requirements beyond those mandated by CEQA.
