RJ Noble asphalt plant GPA

A Temescal Valley resident living across from the quarry argued the heavy-industrial request was filed outside Ordinance 348's 60-day window and is therefore void, and said RJ Noble's 2019 permit revision doubling production to 1.2 million tons a year went through without required environmental review — and demanded a traffic study.

A Temescal Valley resident said the plant already doubled production, that RJ Noble walked out of the 2019 TMAC process when it faced community opposition, and proposed a citizens oversight committee for the whole mining area.

A Temescal Valley resident presented slides arguing the heavy-industrial designation conflicts with the area plan's light-industrial mapping, that surrounding uses are residential, and that the plant mirrors RJ Noble's Orange County facility, which has documented air quality problems and PM10 dust concerns.
