plan.

Vulcan Materials Company has taken steps to expand their open face mining pit from its current location in Fish Canyon, westward to the top of Van Tassel Ridge, the nearby mountain that faces south and is visible from much of the San Gabriel Valley.
Not content with destroying the beautiful entrance to the canyon where
Fish Canyon Falls are located, the mining company now is moving to obliterate another 80
acres—and expand mining onto a mountain which forms part of the of the San Gabriel front
range. The mining operation produces dangerous silica dust,
which poses serious
health and
safety concerns. Since the early 1990s they have closed off
public access to Fish Canyon, and the beautiful waterfalls that lie two
miles up the valley. More on the Falls/Trail.
To date, Vulcan's half-hearted attempts at
reclamation of completed mining areas do not inspire confidence in their
ability or desire to do a proper job.
