SACRAMENTO – Senate Bill 520, which would give the public the opportunity to weigh in before the CEMEX mega-mine can proceed, has passed out of its first policy committee, according to California Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, who co-authored the bill with Assemblywoman Suzette Valladares, R-Santa Clarita.
Wilk, representing the 21st Senate District, announced that SB 520 would provide the public a second opportunity to weigh in on large projects approved more than 30 years ago before those projects could move forward. The CEMEX mega-mine in the Santa Clarita Valley is an example of a project that would benefit from this measure.
“I am happy to report that SB 520 passed out of the Senate Natural Resources & Water Committee with unanimous support,” Wilk said in a statement Wednesday. “The Committee agreed that 30 years is more than enough time to reevaluate the impact of CEMEX’s mega-mine on the Soledad Canyon community.”

The next status conference in the Santa Barbara Channelkeeper case is set for Monday, March 15 at 1:30 p.m.
A status conference is a meeting of a judge and attorneys in a legal matter to keep track of progress in a case.
At the last status conference in the case Feb. 9, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge William F. Highberger agreed on March 15 for the proposed physical solution to be lodged with the court for the first time.
But he did not set a schedule for an evidentiary hearing on the physical solution, and essentially said the city of Ventura is moving too quickly toward a hearing, while two state agencies are taking too long to release critical studies on the watershed.
