At the Fresno County Board of Supervisors special meeting on November 12, 2026, the board considered CEMEX’s appeal of the Planning Commission’s technical denial of modifications to the Rockfield operation, including continued ready-mix concrete production and a proposed hard-rock quarry and asphalt plant. The board certified the project’s final EIR, including findings and a statement of overriding considerations, by a 3–2 vote. It then approved the project under staff’s Alternative 4, limiting quarry depth to 300 feet and the project term to 63 years; the transcript indicates the permit motion passed but does not preserve a clear roll-call tally. The applicant cited a planned $50 million investment during the first five years and offered a per-ton payment to the county for road-related purposes: 5 cents per ton for the first five years, increasing to 7 cents and then 10 cents, with quarterly payments. The board included that offer as a permit condition and required project reviews before the board at years 10 and 30.

Discussion focused on traffic and road costs, groundwater and nearby wells, blasting, river access, habitat, tribal consultation, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s concerns about an unresolved encroachment on state property and water-diversion compliance. The approved conditions included monitoring and mitigation measures, and the applicant agreed to water-intake screening and raptor-nest monitoring. The county’s action was a land-use permit approval, not a public procurement or contract award.
