Canyon Rock Asphalt Facility (Project File Number PLP22-0027)

PROJECT UPDATE - January 2025

Currently technical documents are being prepared to support the Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR). At this time, we expect that a DSEIR will be available for public review and comment in approximately Fall 2026. After circulation of the DSEIR, a public hearing will be held on the project with the Planning Commission. A final decision on the project will be made by the Board of Supervisors at a public hearing.

Project Description

The County of Sonoma Permit and Resource Management Department (Permit Sonoma) is preparing a Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) for the proposed installation and operation of an asphalt batch plant at the existing Canyon Rock Company Quarry site in Forestville, a rezone of portions of Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 083-210-017 and 083-210-018 to the Mineral Resource (MR) Combining District to allow for the asphalt facility as an ancillary use to the existing quarry operation, and approve an amendment to the existing Reclamation Plan to encompass the asphalt facility and provide for the reclamation of the area in accordance with California's Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA). Collectively, these actions comprise the "proposed project" or the "Canyon Rock Asphalt Facility Project."
