California--Mining

摘要

In Nelson v. County of Kern, 118 Cal. Rptr. 3d 736 (Cal. Ct. App. 2010), the California Fifth District Court of Appeals ruled that a lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQ A) must analyze the environmental impacts of an entire mining operation located on federal land rather than simply analyze the impacts of reclamation. In this case, Carlton Global Resources (Carlton) proposed a calcite-marble mining operation (mine) on federal land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
