Wrightwood residents oppose unseen quarry
Residents of Wrightwood are opposing a proposed open-pit quarry in Lone Pine Canyon, where calcium carbonate would be mined by blasting across open pits. The county granted vested rights to the project in 2019 without a full environmental review, leading to community protests and a petition for reconsideration. Concerns include potential environmental impacts on wildlife, water pollution, and wildfire safety, with opposition supported by local officials and thousands of signatures. A legal challenge has been filed, arguing the county's decision was incorrect due to inadequate notice and legal grounds for vested rights.
