FROM: RICHARD MACHOTT
ACTING PLANNING MANAGER
DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2012
SUBJECT: WYROC MINING OPERATION REVIEW
APPLICANT: CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
OWNER/ JEFF HALLORAN, WYROC
PROJECT REQUEST
This item is a continuation from the November 20, 2012 Planning Commission Meeting
regarding the operation and condition of Mine ID # 91 -33 -0015; WYROC Materials
Incorporated. This subject is to be reviewed for compliance with the project Conditions of
Approval, Reclamation Plan 90 -3, and SMARA as discussed with the mine operator, Jeff
Halloran.
PROJECT LOCATION
APN 390 - 130 -018, Mine ID# 91 -33 -0015, referred to as WYROC, is located south of the I-
15 freeway, East of Lake Street, adjacent to the southbound freeway on ramp.
ANALYSIS
WYROC is permitted as a gravel mine with an approved reclamation plan, RP 90 -3, which
identifies open space as its end use. The mine is currently operating under an Interim
Management Plan or IMP. Under the State Mining and Reclamation Act ( SMARA), when
a mine reaches production levels less than 10% of its maximum production, the operation
can apply for an Interim Management Plan (IMP). Under this IMP various activities are
allowed. WYROC was first granted IMP status in 2005 and applied for a renewal in 2010.
The current IMP expires on January 5, 2015 and a copy of the document is attached to this
report.

As reported at the Planning Commission meeting on November 20, 2012, WYROC's status
is operating under an Interim Management Plan, it remains an active mine site with the
right to mine is still intact. In this condition, WYROC remains under the guidelines of the
State's Surface Mining and Reclamation Act ( SMARA). SMARA requires an annual
inspection of the site, review of the conditions of approval and review of the financial
mechanism that secures the reclamation plan. WYROC has undergone inspection for
2012 compliance and has been found to meet their SMARA requirements.
Also at the November 20, 2012 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission inquired
about the status of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirements imposed on the project.
After a significant research effort, Chairman Morsch found and provided staff with the CUP
number, 92 -7. With this information, staff discovered that CUP 92 -7 covers an area of
approximately 445 acres located on the north side of 1 -15. This area also encompassed
Reclamation Plan number 92 -1 which has now expired. Although the CUP itself was not
found, staff has included Planning Commission minutes from April 7, 1993 (Public Hearing
Item No. 2) describing the terms and location of the surface mine 90 -1 and CUP 92 -7. In
addition, Staff found a zone change, CUP and mining application dated July 15, 1992. It
appears from these documents that CUP 92 -7 and mining RP 92 -1 are located on the
north side of 1 -15 and do not apply to WYROC's site RP 90 -3 located south of 1 -15.

Date of Interim Management Plan Application: January 2005
Date mining is expected to resume: Mining activities are expected to resume when
product demand costs warrant. A recycle operation will continue on the site. This
hiterim Management Plan CRVIP ") will expire on January 5, 200 , a'which time the
operator intends to resume mining, reclaim pursuant to the app oved reclamation plan, or
renew this IMP for an additional 5 years. At any time that the operator mines over 1,000
cubic yards in a calendar year, the mine resumes ti active status and this IMP o no
longer in effect.
Reason for change in operation: This mine has been idle due to costs associated with
mining native material and increased demand for recycled product. Mining activities are
expected to resume when demand/costs warrant.
Equipment or facilities remaining on -site: All equipment and facilities used in mining
remain on -site.
Mining operations while idle:
While the mine is "idle" as defined by Cal. Public Resources Code § 2727.1, there
remains intermittent mining activity (less than I0% of the operation's previous maximum
annual production). Such activity includes the intermittent crushing and processing of
stockpiled materials for both recycled and mined materials onsite.
Total annual quantity of native material imported or exported shall not exceed 1,000
cubic yards while idle. Any exceedance of this amount will result in the mine changing
to an active status.
Page 1 of 3
PC December 18, 2012 Item No. 6
Page 9 of 82
Approximate limits of the mining operation:
a.) Disturbed mining/parking/road areas: 10 acres
Undisturbed area: 9 acres
b.) Areas reclaimed: None
c.) Stockpiles may be intermittently utilized as described above while the mine
operation is idle.
d.) A permanent operating plan remains at the site.
DRAINAGE PLAN
Area hydrology:
The site is located in the City of Lake Elsinore at 31000 Lake Street which is adjacent to
and south of Interstate 15. The site consists of 19 acres with approximately 10 acres of
disturbance.
Storm water flows through a drainage course running east to west.
Currently, there are no signs of significant erosion resulting from the current mining
operation. The topography of the mine area includes hills, consisting primarily of
imported fill material, Iimited subsurface excavation and level topography to the west.
Native vegetation is minimal. It is not expected that the site will experience substantial
erosion.
Any direct precipitation follows the drainage course westerly through the site.
Non - active areas are naturally re- vegetating. Since there is no sign of erosion hazard, no
special erosion control measures will be implemented at this time.
Site Monitoring:
To ensure site preservation and stability, and in order to comply with those practices
outlined in California Code of Regulations § 3503, Wyroc shall regularly inspect and
maintain the site. Regular inspections shall occur at least weekly in order to identify any
significant erosion (water or wind) to existing slopes, stockpiles, and berms. Wyroc shall
identify any corrective measures needed as well as identify the time needed to address
any corrective or deficient measures.
In the interim period, Wyroc will also monitor potential erosion in this area after each
major storm event. The inspector will visually inspect this area to observe any drainage
that may be affective the site and potential erosion occurring. If erosion or the potential
for substantial erosion is evident, the operator shall implement appropriate erosion
control measures as listed below for the particular situation. -
Page 2 of 3
PC December 18, 2012 Item No�6/
Page 10 of 82
Contingent Conteol Measures-
If significant erosion is identified, Wyroc shall implement one or more of the following
erosion control measures at the direction of the Lead Agency as reasonable.
- Hydroseeding for embankment slopes and excavation slopes
- Mulching
- Soil stabilizers
- Geotextiles, mats/Plastic Covers and Erosion Control
- Drainage Swales and Lined Ditches
- Silt Fences
- Sandbag Barriers
- Sediment Traps
- Fiber Rolls
Diversion ditches, straw bales, or rock will be used to reinforce ditches and drains where
erosion of the roadway or of the property is occurring. If needed, drains may be
constructed with one of the following: rock reinforced with energy dissipaters; a
corrugated metal pipe (CMP); or a flexible conduit of heavy -duty fabric.
If during a storm event, runoff creates rills /gullies greater in cross section than 6 inches
and exceeding 5 feet in length, erosion control measures will be undertaken by placement
of crushed rock interceptors or straw bales to slow runoff. After the storm event which
created the erosion, the rills /gullies will be filled, compacted and re- graded.
REVEGETATYON PLAN
The site will be reclaimed according to reclamation plan # SMP -90 -3, when mining is
concluded. Should any significant erosion occur, Wyroc will implement appropriate
"Contingent Control Measures" as detailed above.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
There are no significant safety hazards on -site. The site is fenced and in a remote, open
space area away from residential/industrial areas.
Wyroc safety inspections are conducted on a regular basis in conjunction with the recycle
operation.

2010 Financial Assurance Calculations
NOTES
www.wyroc.com
Aggregates
Recycling
On -Site Crushing
The last financial assurance for the Lake Street Quarry was prepared in June of 2008 and
approved by the City of Lake Elsinore and the State.
Adjustment to the financial assurance amount necessary to reclaim the site would be lower based
on costs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and additional completed reclamation work.
Regarding the former, producer prices and hourly wages have been stable or have dropped since
the last estimate. Regarding the later, another 7 percent of the fill work has been completed in
2008 and 2009. This is in addition to the fill,placed in 2006(10 percent) and 2007( 8 percent).
hi their review of the last Financial Assurance submittal the State requested that the "salvage
value" of onsite processing equipment and plant structures to offset costs associated with
equipment removal be based on a signed quote from a company employed in that business on
their letterhead. I have attached this quote at the end of the cost estimate and adjusted the value
accordingly.
Other than the salvage value, no substantial changes were made in the current estimate and the
amount needed to assure reclamation was kept the same at $92,382.

• Haul Road, applicant to develop a plan for
clean -up of the 500 foot entryway, or areas
appropriate to this facility, on a regular
basis and this keyed to volume, and also tied
in with a water truck.
Commissioner Neff referred to condition number 22, requiring
the applicant to post a bond for the repair and rehabilitation
of Walker Canyon Road, perhaps this relates to that - -we could
expand it.
Commissioner Wilsey responded it doesn't relate to that unless
we expand it.
Chairwoman Brinley suggested that this be added as condition
22.a.
Discussion ensued on the frequency of clean -up, and this being
subject to the Community Development Director or designee.
Mr. Snodgrass responded that they have no problem with this.
He then detailed their clean up procedures for the related
operation, across the street.
• Applicant to develop a program in conjunction
with the City to offer to our community the
acceptance and storage of broken asphalt and
concrete.
Commissioner Bullard commented on the City's contract with the
trash collection agency and whether it calls out acceptance of
this type of fill, re -use and resale.
Commissioner Wilsey asked that staff check into this.
Engineering Manager O'Donnell stated that he does not believe
the contract with CR & R covers the pick -up and disposal of
concrete and asphalt.
Commissioner Bullard stated he believes they would have to
provide a collection place, and would like staff to check into
this.

Mr. Snodgrass responded they would be more than happy to take
the City's broken asphalt and concrete. He then explained
that AB 939, requires local governments to reduce their land-
fill trash hauling by fifty percent.
Commissioner Wilsey stated that he is asking for the develop-
ment of a program that would work for both parties, applicant
and City. He then stated he would like the storage site
available to the community on Saturday.
Chairwoman Brinley commented on making this a tentative
condition, at this point.
Commissioner Bullard stated he would like to see them offer
the same situation, excellent idea. Also, it is a different
collection point.
Commissioner Neff asked Commissioner Wilsey whether he was
contemplating that the Saturday drop off be a manned facility.
Commissioner Wilsey responded they would have to set their
hours, assumes they are open on Saturday.
Mr. Snodgrass responded that they are not open on Saturday,
but would be amenable to - -if it is just a matter of someone
coming in an dumping - -it probably wouldn't take that much
manpower to facilitate and we could have someone in the scale
house. We have no problem with the Saturday dumps.
Commissioner Neff commented that people may be dumping all
kinds of trash, if unmanned.
Commissioner Wilsey responded this is why he suggested that
the program we worked up in conjunction with the City. They
know their working parameters and we do not want to create a
burden on them, but we want it available to our community. He
then suggested that this be added as condition 15.a.
Mr. Snodgrass stated what they do now is, if this recycle
demolition waste is the City's from tearing up roads and such,
we generally take that in free. But we have a fee for private
individuals, and this covers our cost for the Saturday.
Commissioner Wilsey informed Mr. Snodgrass that this should be
built into their program.
Quarry products are normally quarried in this
area and billed through your general office;
for sales tax purposes, would like to suggest,
if necessary, a program be implemented where
the invoice has a Lake Elsinore address,
recommended this be added as condition 15.b.
Mr. Snodgrass stated, it is his understanding, that sales tax
is generated from the point of sale, and the point of sale
would be on the property.
Condition number 20, would like to amend to require an
entry statement where the haul road is. Would like to
see landscaping of that entry statement and adequate
landscaping to take care of the visibility problems at
the entry way, and subject to the approval of the
Community Development Director.

Mr. Snodgrass stated they had that entryway landscaped, at one
point, and believes the drawings to be their possession.
Chairwoman Brinley inquired about including the standard
condition for landscape bonding for one year.
Commissioner Wilsey responded normal bonding.
Commissioner Neff commented on condition number 24 requirement
for bond in the amount equal to the cost of completing the
remaining reclamation, and whether an amount has been
established.
Assistant Planner Villa responded in the negative, stating
that we have to work with the State Department of Mines and
Geology.
Community Development Manager Shear stated this is State
regulated; giving a certain amount based off of what operation
they do to reclaim that portion.
Commissioner Bullard stated that Commissioner Wilsey addressed
his concerns on the entryway and haul road. He then commented
on condition number 19, pertaining to hydroseeding of graded
slopes prior to the rainy season.
Chairwoman Brinley commented on the secondary batch plant,
stating she would like to see those areas designated now.
Mr. Snodgrass stated he believes those are designated on the
plans.
Commissioner Wilsey stated they are shown as alternates,
correct? Mr. Snodgrass responded in the affirmative.
Chairwoman Brinley inquired whether they would be varying from
that. Mr. Snodgrass responded in the negative.
There being no further discussion, Chairwoman Brinley called

(NORTH ALBERHILL RANCH AREA)
CITY OF LAZE ELSINORE
MARCH 1993
Effective January 1, 1989, the California Environmental Quality Act
was amended to add Section 21081.6, implementing Assembly Bill (AB)
3180. As part of CEQA environmental review procedures, AB 3180
requires a public agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting
program for assessing and ensuring efficiency of any required
mitigation measures applied to proposed developments. As stated in
Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code:
"...the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring
program for the changes to the project which it has adopted,
or made a condition or project approval, in order to mitigate
or avoid significant affects on the environment."
AB 3180 provides general guidelines for implementing monitoring and
reporting programs. Specific reporting and /or monitoring
requirements, to be enforced during project implementation, shall
be defined prior to final approval of the project proposal by the
responsible decision maker(s). In response to established CEQA
requirements and those of AB 3180 (Public Resources Code Section
21000 et seq.) , the proposed mitigation monitoring program shall be
submitted for consideration prior to completion of the
environmental review process to enable the decision maker's
appropriate response to proposals. The mitigation monitoring
program must be provided as part of the Final Mitigated Negative

second.
C. Holes shall not be drilled close to an open bench
face, and sequential timing techniques shall be
used to provide direction and confinement of rock
movement.
D. Explosives shall not be loaded to the top of blast
holes and rock chips or similar material shall be

rock ".
E. Low energy explosives shall be used.
F. Use down- the -hole initiation of explosive episodes,
and avoid the use of high strength detonation cord.
G. Pay particular attention to weak zones within the
rock formation which could cause excessive energy
release and place nonexplosive decks through the
zones.

GENERAL GEOLOGY
The site is located on the northern portion of the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province. This
province is a well defined Physiographic and Geologic Province that occupies the southwestern
comer of California, both onshore and offshore, and extends southeastward to include the Baja
California Peninsula. It is characterized by elongate ranges and valleys whose general northwest-
southeast trend is abruptly terminated by the east -west grain of the Transverse Ranges Province.
These longitudinal ranges and valleys are in large part fault controlled.
The site is situated on what is often called the Perris Structural Block. This is a northwest-
southeast trending structural block located on the northern end of the Peninsular Ranges Province.
This structural block is bounded on the northeast by the San Jacinto Fault Zone and on the
southwest by the Elsinore Fault Zone. The northern portion of this structural block extends under
the San Bernardino Valley and is terminated by the Transverse Ranges Province. The southern
terminus is less well defined than the other three sides, but is usually considered to be in about
the Temecula/Hemet areas.
Lithologically the Peninsular Ranges Province consists chiefly of pre -late Cretaceous
metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks that have been altered by the intrusion of late
Cretaceous age plutonic igneous rocks. The metasedimentary rocks are mainly phyllites, schists,
slates, quartzites and marbles, but locally consist of amphibolites and talc -silica homfels. The
metavolcanics are chiefly meta- basalts, meta- andesites and meta- rhyolites. The intruded plutonic
igneous rocks are mainly granitics, such as tonalities, monzogtanites and granodiorites, but do
locally consist of some gabbroic rocks. Both the metamorphic rocks and the plutonic igneous
rocks are locally intruded by quartz and/or feldspar dikes, veins and veinlets.
SUE GEOLOGY
The subject site contains rocks assignable to the Bedford Canyon Formation, Santiago Peak
Volcanics, Temescal Wash Quartz Latite Porphyry and Recent Alluvium/Colluvium. The most
usable rock for crushed aggregate will be found in the metavolcanics of the Santiago Peak
Volcanics and the quartz latite porphyry. Within the study area, the metavolcanics appear to
have been intruded by and/or faulted against the quartz latite porphyry. The metasedimentary
rocks of the Bedford Canyon Formation appear to have only a sparse occurrence within the area
mapped, and for the most part these rocks may not be a good source of material for crushed
aggregate. The metavolcanic material of the Santiago Peak Volcanics is presently being used as
a source of crushed construction aggregate at the Wymc. Inc. plant on Lake Street and the
lithologic equivalent of the quartz latite porphyry has been used at other plants to the north as
a source of crushed construction aggregate, rip -rap and roofing granules. Material sourced from
the Bedford Canyon Formation, Santiago Peak Volcanics and Temescal Wash Quartz Latite
Porphyry is being used for construction aggregate from the alluvial fan deposits in the Glen Ivy
area.
The metasedimentary rocks of the Bedford Canyon Formation consist of black to grayish slates.
phyllites and quartzites. These rocks may locally contain pyrite and whets the pyrite is present.

ATTACH. 1
these rocks tend to weather a rusty brown color. Rocks from this formation are present in the
southeast corner and possibly in the central portion of the site. The slates and quartzites might
be useable as crushed construction aggregate, but possibly not as concrete aggregate.
The metavolcanic tucks of the Santiago Peak Volcanics consist of fine grained altered andesites,
commonly showing bteaaa texture on the weathered surface. These volcanic nicks have been
locally altered to gteenstones and some zones contain common pyrite and/or pytrhotite
disseminated throughout These zones with high pyrite/pyrrhothe tend to weather a rusty brown
color. These sulfide minerals may make the rock from these zones unfit for concrete aggregate,
but they may still be usable for base and asphalt material
The igneous rocks of the Temescal Wash quartz latite porphyry at present in the southeast,
northwest and northeast portions of the site. These rocks are a dark gray to bluish -gray
porphyritic quartz latite that tends to weather a tan color and consist of feldspar (plagioclase) and
quartz phenocrysts in an aphanitic groundmass. This rock can contain some alteration minerals.
such as pyrite, biotite, chlorite, epidote, and clays. Some samples with visible disseminated
pyrite were found in the darker quartz latite porphyry in the northwest part of the site. The
quartz latite porphyry, for the most part, should make for good crushed construction aggregate,
and especially the best concrete aggregate.
The alluvial/colluvial material is for the most part unusable for a construction aggregate. It is
present in the canyon bottoms and on the weathered slopes. The alluvial material in the bottom
of the canyons are small but may make good crushed aggregate. Then: is one deposit of alluvial
material in the lower portion of Canyon A that appears to be usable for construction aggregate.
The deposit is still not very large, but it is accessible to easy removal and processing.
In an effort to better define the site potential, the site has been divided into five different
geologic provinces. The first of these is the southeast province. This is a triangular shaped area
bounded on the south by a paved freeway access road, on the east by the section line and on the
northwest by a canyon, referred to as Canyon A. The province consists of a large deposit of
quartz latite porphyry that has been intruded as a sill. The sill is overlain by rocks of the
Santiago Peak Volcanics and underlain by rocks of the Santiago Peak Volcanics/Bedford Canyon
Metasedimentary Undifferentiated. There is an epidote rich mineralized zone associated with the
upper and lower contacts of the sill. The Bedford Canyon Metasedimentary rocks do not appear
to be usable for crushed construction material and are present in the extreme southeast comer.
The second province, or central area, is an elongate northeast-southwest trending ridge bounded _
on the southeast by Canyon A, to the northeast by a mineralized (Fault?) zone, on the northwest {
by another canyon (Canyon B) and to the southwest by the property line. The material present
here in mainly rock of Santiago Peak Volcanics, much of which has been altered by weathering
and/or faulting. There is one area of quartz latite porphyry in the western part. The surface
outcrops exhibit weathering, as do the exposures along the road cuts. However, some of the
material exposed in the road bed and along the base of the road cuts appears to be hard usable
rock. This province may contain a substantial quantity of construction quality aggregate at depth.
The southwest portion of this province contains some altered rock that may have originally been
Bedford Canyon Formation.
PC December 18, 2012 Item No. 6
Page 47 of 82
ATTACH. 1
province number three is a triangular shaped area in the northwest comer of the site. This area
is bounded on the southeast by Canyon B, to the north by the section line and on the west by the
section line. Like the fast area, this area contains a large deposit of the quartz latite with lesser
amounts of Santiago Peak Metavolcanics. There two kinds of gram Wite porphyry in this
province. One is a like that found in province one and the other is a darker gray on fresh
surfaces, contains areas with visible disseminated pyrite and weathers a rusty brown color. Some
of this material appears to be altered adjacent to the fault zones.
The fourth province is a north - northwest- south - southeast trending altered and mineralised zone
that extends from the cast section line to the north property line. The southeast boundary abuts
the second province and the northeast boundary abuts the fifth province. This area does not
appear to contain much usable rock for crushed construction aggregate. There are, however,
some pockets of potentially usable rock in this province but these appear to be scattered. The
province situated in an ideal place for a processing plant, as an aggregate plant located hen in
the upper part of Canyon A would be out of sight and well situated to handle material from
provinces one, two and five. It could even handle material from province three if trucking of un-
crushed quarry material were employed.
Province four has been prospected by a 140 foot long dozer cut that trends about North 72
degrees East, a 40 foot long trench that trends approximately North 33 degrees East and a 6 +/-
foot deep shaft or pit. The shaft is near the top of the hill and is dug into a vein that trends
about North 54 degrees West in the area where the shaft is located .There is an old adit in the
next section to the north, under one of the Edison towers, about 1700 feet north- northwest of the
shaft that may have been dug to intersect the same trending vein system. The mineralized zone
appears to contain Iron/Manganese enrichment, but is not described by Engel, et al (1959) or
Miller, et al (1991). There is the remains of an old prospectors camp near the spring in the
bottom of the canyon, just northeast of these workings.
Province number five is a triangular shaped area in the northeast comer of the site. It is bounded
on the east by the section line, to the north by the property line and on the southeast by the
mineralized province, province number four. This province contains good quartz latite porphyry
and some areas weathered quartz latite porphyry.
CONCLUSIONS
The subject site contains a substantial deposit of rock material usable for crushed construction
aggregate. The usable rock material consists of intruded igneous quartz lathe porphyry sills and
metavolcanics, mainly meta- andesites. Both rock materials have been quarried and used for
making crushed construction aggregate in other portions of the Temescal Valley Region. The
quartz latite porphyry will probably make the best crushed concrete aggregate, and the
metavolcanic rock used to make construction base and/or asphalt material. A blend of the two
would probable also make a good concrete aggregate as well.
In addition to the usable rock material, there is a large quantity of questionable rock material.
Much of the surfaced exposed metavolcanic rock material is weathered, but may turn out to be

ATTACH. 1
usable material at depth. -Some of the metavolcanics contain scattered inclusions of sulfide
minerals, such as pyrite and/or pyrrhotite, which may make some of this material unfit for
concrete aggregate. Some disseminated pyrite is also present in the darker colored quartz latite
porphyry, especially in the northwest portion of the site. However, the sulfide minerals may not
prevent this material from being used as construction base and/or asphalt material. There are also
some calcite veins present on the site, however. these ate very localized and should not be a
major problem.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Since the site has limited outcrops and much of the rock material present can be altered due to
weathering, the following recommendations are suggested:
a) That a dozer and/or trackhoe be brought in to pot hole areas on the site as a check of
the rock quality. This is especially true for the central area, Province Number two, where
much of the surface exposed material appears to be marginal for the making of crushed
construction aggregate and/or,
b) That a dozer be brought in to cut some roads into presently inaccessible areas. These
roads can be used to move in a core drill so that the rock quality can be tested at depths
not attainable by pot holes. These road cuts will also offer additional exposures mapping
of both rock quality, but also for the structural patterns and;
c) That samples of the various rock material be collected from the pot holes or cores and
that this material be laboratory tested for its aggregate quality and/or,
d) That a complete series of production testing be performed on processed material to
determine the suitability of the aggregate and its ability to conform to applicable standards
when processed.
For economic reasons. it is further recommended that the initial exploration for production
material be concentrated in what have been called provinces one, three and/or five. Substantial
quantities of what appears to be good quality rock for crushed construction grade aggregate can
be seen to crop out in these provinces. By concentrating on the three provinces with apparent
mapped usable material, the equipment will be in place to then explore the remaining two
provinces. This should increase the speed for proving up usable material and reduce the costs
for exploring the entire site.
SUMMARY
Based on the results of this preliminary investigation. the subject site contains a substantial
deposit of rock material that appears to be suitable for crushed aggregate production. The most
suitable material is contained within the JKgl unit, as mapped. In addition, there may be
substantially more usable material within the JKgla. Jan and Qal units. mamd. ca c 2012 item No. s

been emplaced as igneous sills within the metavolcanics, near the contact with the metasediments.
Reported to be Jurassic or Cretaceous in age.
JKgla - Quartz latite porphyry, dark gray, contains quartz and feldspar phenocrysts, weathers a
rusty -brown color and with visible dissern nBSCA! pyrite. This unit was only found in the
northwest part of the site, where it is adjacent to a potential major shear zone that has been, at
least in part, hydrothermally altered and locally mineralized. Reported to be Jurassic or
Cretaceous in age.
Jan - Metavolcanic rocks, medium to dark gray, fine grained, principally altered andesite and
andesite porphyry and/or breccia, weather a medium gray to medium gray brown. Locally, some
areas are altered to greenstones and other areas contain common disseminated pyrite and/or

III. SITE ANALYSIS
A. Natural Environment
1. Topography
The topographic conditions on the property are
depicted in the USGS Quad Map Exhibit, Figure 4.
Specific Plan Area "A" is mountainous in nature,
with a substantial percentage of the site at a
slope of 25% or greater, as displayed in the slope
analysis in Figure 5 Elevations in Specific
Plan Area "A" are broad in range, from 1,320 to
approximately 1,800 feet. Specific Plan Area "B"
contrasts to Specific Plan Area "A" in being far
more moderate in steepness, consisting primarily of
moderately rolling terrain.
2. Geology
The project site is located in the Perris Peneplain
of the Peninsular Range Geomorphic Province.
Tertiary and Quaternary age marine and non- marine
sediments overlay the basement complex of Igneous
and Metamorphic rocks. Activity along the Elsinore
fault zone has resulted in a pattern of northeast
trending faults in the Southern Temescal Valley. A
geotechnical investigation including both the
Alberhill Ranch and Alberhill Ranch North Specific
Plan sites was completed by G. A. Nicoll and
Associates, Inc. in March, 1988. The conclusion of
this report was that development of the site was
geotechnically feasible.
3. Soils
The predominant soil type in Section 15 is Santiago
Peak Volcanics; other soil types in this portion of
the site include alluvium and older alluvium. The
variety of soils is somewhat more diverse in
Specific Plan Area "B ", with no individual or group
of soils being especially predominant. Soil types
found in Specific Plan Area "B" include the
Santiago Peak Volcanics, Bedford Canyon Formation,
undifferentiated fill, alluvium and older alluvium.
Characteristics of these soils are outlined in the
following table. (Table 1.)
PC December 18, 2012 Item No. 6
Page 55 of 82
L As briefly discussed- in the previous section of
- this report (geology), a geotechnical analysis of
the project site has previously been prepared. As
a result of this study, it has been determined that
certain mitigation measures must be incorporated in
response to the soil conditions on the site. These
measures will include but not necessarily be
restricted to blasting, recompaction and the
removal of unstable and expansive soils.
4. Seismicity
Although the project site contains no active faults
and is not located within an Alquist - Priolo Special
Studies Zone, the Glen Ivy branch of the Whittier-
Elsinore fault zone is approximately two miles to
the southwest of the project site, as displayed on
Figure 8. The Elsinore fault zone lies along the
rift -like Elsinore Trough; which has been
seismically active since recordkeeping was
initiated. Earthquakes in the magniture of 6.0,
similar in estimated magnitude to a 1910 earthquake
in the Elsinore Fault Zone are anticipated in the
future.
5. Hydrology
a. Surface Drainage
PC December 18, 2012 Item No. 6
Page 56 of 82
Drainage from the project site flows into
nearby Temescal Creek (walker Canyon Creek), a
tributary of the Santa Ana River. Temescal
M
Creek flows into the Santa Ana River in the
Corona area, shortly before the Prado Dam. As
part of the Upper Santa Ana Valley watershed,
drainage ultimately flows into the Pacific
Ocean from the mouth of the Santa Ana River
along the Huntington Beach- Newport Beach
border. A delineation of drainage areas is
depicted in Figure 9.
Flood plain and flood insurance data do not
exist for the project site since this area has
not yet been mapped by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA). This area also is
not within the boundaries of an area drainage
plan of the Riverside County Flood Control
District.

Groundwater
Groundwater information for the project site
is not available on a site specific basis; due
to the lack of on -site wells. Premised on
information available from the nearby mining
pits and shafts, it can be speculated that
some groundwater is likely on the project
site. However, with the limited scope of the
current information no precise statements
regarding the location, depth or volume of
groundwater can be made.
Biology
A biological survey of the project site was
completed in September, 1990 by Pacific Southwest
Biological Services, Inc. Survey findings
indicated the presence of three plant communities
and three` wildlife habitats on the project site.
The identified plant communities include the
Riversidian Sage Scrub, Mixed Chaparral and
Riparian Woodland. Wildlife habitats include the
Coastal Scrub, Chamise Chaparral and Valley
Foothill Riparian. The extent of these plant
communities and wildlife habitats is displayed in
Discussions of the
flora and fauna in more detail are presented in the
paragraphs below.
By far the most prominent plant community in both
Specific Plan Areas (encompassing approximately 500
acres) is the Riversidian Sage Scrub. Plants
within this community are characterized by semi -
woody shrubs, and perennials with an understory of
native annual herbs and introduced annual grasses.
On a comparative basis, the vegetation in Specific
Plan Area "A" exhibits a such poorer quality than
in Specific Plan Area "B" due to greater
disturbance from fire, grazing and other
activities.
The second most common plant community on the
project site is the mixed chaparral; which is found
on approximately 43 acres (including both Specific
Plan Areas "A" and "B "). The mixed chaparral plant
community is characterized by taller and denser
plants than the Riversidian Sage Scrub. Typical
components of the plant community are evergreen
shrubs with an understory of introduced grasses and
herbaceous annuals.

CONTENTS OF MINING PLAN:
a. The size of the parcel to be mined is approximately
445 acres. The legal description of the property is
as follows:
The attached grading /reclamation map, Exhibit "A"
shows the boundaries and topographic details of the
project, together with ground water basins, roads,
streams and any other significant characteristics.
b. The general geology and the depth to groundwater is
shown in the geologic report attached as
Exhibit "B ".
c. There are two phases proposed for the mining
operation. The initial phase would commence within
twelve months of the issuance of the mining permits
and any other regulatory requirements. This phase
would run for approximately five to seven years
depeding on market factors.
The second and final phase would run for
approximately twenty -five years.
Exhibit "C" shows the location of each phase. The
initial phase will involve Parcel 2 which contains
approximately 22 acres. This property is zoned
commercial and mining will produce developable
pads which can be marketed upon completion of Phase
one operations. Phase two will involve the balance of
the property, approximately 423 acres. During this
phase a new haul road will be constructed in order to
avoid truck traffic near the commercial parcel.
During the course of the Phase two operation
residential pads will be created and marketed.
During Phase one the plant will be located in a remote
area which will allow mining activities and
residential development to co- exist.
d. The type of operation planned involves blasting and
ripping of rock, processsing of rock through crushers
and transport to stockpiles via conveyor. The
mining will be much like a grading operation and is
not considered complex. The mining operation will
transform the steep topography,characteristic of the
site, into useable flat pads.
e. The mining and reclamation plan for this project are
simultaneous. The reclamation plan in this case
involves excavation of the hills on the property. The
first phase will reclaim approximately 23 acres over
the five to seven year period. Reclamation of the
remaining property, 422 acres, will be compleftdecember 18, 2012 Item No. 6
approximately 25 years after the first phase. Page 66 of 82
f. The maximum depth from the highest point on the
property would be approximately 500 feet. Mining will
not go below the elevation of Interstate 15 near the
site, which is approxiamtely 1300 feet.
g. Please see exhibit d.
h. No significant discharge of liquid waste is
anticipated. Waste oil and other liquids associated
with machinery will be contained in concrete basins
and barrel "s and removed from the property by a
certified waste hauler. All employees are trained in
containment and clean up of any accidental spills
that might occur.
i. The excavation and reclamation are considered the
same for this project.
j. Approxiamtely 100 million tons of construction grade
aggregate will be removed from the site. Rock
material which is not suitable to market will be used
as fill at various location on the property. There
will be three truck routes for all traffic leaving
the site. These are: I -15 northbound; I -15
southbound; Lake Street southbound.
k. The hours of operation will typically be 6:30 a.m to
3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. On occassion these
hours may be extended due to requirements of specific
jobs. A typical year will contain 260 work days, not
including holidays. Anticipated noise levels should
not surpass 90 decibles and will not be audible
off -site. Low intensity lighting will be used around
shop and office areas for security purpose.
Dust control will consist of water spray at all
intake and outlets on crushers; water spray of haul
roads and stockpiles; use of dust retarding
chemicals; baghouses will also be used when
appropriate.
The natural features of the property are ideally
suited for noise -- suppression. Berms will also be used
when necessary.
m. Please see exhibit "E" for location and design of
structures.
CONTENTS OF RECLAMATION PLAN:
a. The proposed operation will be situated in a location
that has been previously disturbed to an extent by
past mining and other activities. The reclamation
will not effect future uses in surrounding lands.
b. Mining and grading will be the primary methjR&Pecembe, 18, 2012 Item No. 6
employed in reclamation. The schedule of reclamation Page 67 of 82
will be identical to the mining phases.
c. Any derelict machinery or scrap will be removed by
truck. No mining waste will be generated by this
operation. Potential contaminants, such as oil or
fuel are controlled under Hazardous Waste Management.
d. No streambed channels or streambanks will be
adversely affected by the proposed mining activities.
e. No waste piles will be generated by the operation.
Any exposed slopes not involved in mining will be
hydroseeded prior to the rainy season. Hydroseeding
will continue as often as necessary until native
grasses have been re- established.
f. The anticipated physical condition of the site will
be rough graded pads. All miming and reclamation
grading will be conducted accordance with standard
grading practices and under the supervision of a
Soils Engineer and the provisions of the UBC.
g. Please see Exhibit "F ".
h. The proposed mining activity is expected to exhaust
mineable material.
i. Seeding and revegetation will proceedoonce a
portion of land has been completely mined.
j. The mining operation will be closely monitored and
regulated for safety and health and no negative
exposure to the public is anticipated. Agencies
responsible for regulation are: Mining Safety and
Health Administration; Cal -Osha; Riverside County
Department of Health.
k. Name and Address of Operator:
William J. Halloran and Associates
P.O. Box 1239
Vista, CA 92085
Agent for service of process:

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
12. The project site consists of 445 acres and
is located north of the intersection of Lake Street and
Walker Canyon Road. The topographic conditions on the
property are depicted in the attached Figure 3.
The land is mountainous in nature, with a substantial
percentage of the site at a slope of 25% or greater, as
displayed in the slope analysis in figure 4.
Elevations range from 1320 to 1800 feet.
There are no soil stability concerns associated with
the subject property. The predominant soil type is
Santiago Peak Volcanics; other soil types include
alluvium and older alluvium.
The plants found on the site are commonly found in
undeveloped areas of southern California. These
include semi -woody shrubs, and perennials with an
understory of native annual herbs and introduced
grasses. The property has been disturbed by fire,
grazing and other activities which have left poor
quality plant communities.
Wildlife species identified on site or expected to
frequent the property range from bobcats, coyotes,
foxes, etc. down to smaller animals such a rabbits,
squirrels, lizards and snakes.
Although no cultural resources have been identified
the site exists within an area of some historical
significance due to past mining activities. Over the
years, coal, clay and other materials have been
extracted from the site and surrounding area. The
area is still known for mining and was classified as
a "Mineral Resource Zone ".
13. There are no existing structures on the subject
site.
14. Surrounding properties consist of the same or similar
topography, soils, plants and animals. Many of these
properties also evidenced mining activities.
15. Land surrounding the site is predominately vacant. Uses
include a Block Plant west of the site; The Wyroc
Quarry and Pacific Clay to the south; and a rural
residence to the east.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON ITEMS CHECKED YES:
A. Hills will be lowered enabling future development.
Please see attached conceptual grading plan,
Figure 5.
D. The proposed project will generate some additional
emissions, however the operations would be closely
regulated by the South Coast Air Quality Management
District. As a result, equipment and processes
would use the best available control technology
for controlling air pollution. This would result
in negligible impacts on existing air quality.
Odors offsite are not anticipated.
E. Noise levels will increase on the property
but will not impact the surrounding area. Noise
generated by traffic on Interstate 15 would be
substantially louder than that produced by on -site
equipment.
G. Please see figure 4 for slope information.
H. Some materials used in the operation could be
considered to be potentially hazardous,these
include: Oil, Gasoline, Diesel Fuel and materials
for mechanical repairs, construction and welding.
Materials used in blasting will not be stored on
the property. Blasting will be infrequent and will
be performed by a professional drilling and
blasting firm.
Hazardous materials will be regulated by the
following:
Hazardous Materials Management Plan
Cal Osha Regulations
Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulations
No on -site disposal of hazardous materials will
occur.

phase a new haul road will be constructed in order to
decrease truck traffic near the commercial parcel.
During the course of the Phase two operation
residential pads will be created and marketed.
During Phase one the plant will be located in a remote
area which will allow mining activities and
residential development to co- exist.
d. The type of operation planned involves blasting and
ripping of rock, processsing of rock through crushers
and transport to stockpiles via conveyor. The
mining will be much like a grading operation and is
not considered complex. The mining operation will
transform the steep topography,characteristic of the
site, into useable flat pads. PC December 18, 2012 Item No. 6

e. The mining and reclamation plan for this project are
simultaneous. The reclamation plan in this case
involves excavation of the hills on the property. The
first phase will reclaim approximately 23 acres over
the five to seven year period. Reclamation of the
remaining property, 422 acres, will be completed
approximately 25 years after the first phase.
similar pace.
f. The maximum depth from the highest point on the
property would be approximately 500 feet. Mining will
not go below the elevation of Interstate 15 near the
site, which is approxiamtely 1300 feet.
g. Please see exhibit A.
h. No significant discharge of liquid waste is
anticipated. Waste Oil and other liquids associated
with machinery will be contained in concrete basins
and barrels and removed from the property by a
certified waste hauler. All employees are trained in
containment and clean up of any accidental spills
that might occur.
i. The excavation and reclamation are considered the
same for this project.
j. Approximately 100 million tons of construction grade
aggregate will be removed from the site. Rock
material which is not suitable to market will be used
as fill at various location on the property. There
will be three truck routes for all traffic leaving
the site. These are: I -15 northbound; I -15
southbound; Lake Street southbound.
k. The hours of operation will typically be 6:30 a.m to
3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. On occassion these
hours may be extended due to requirements of specific
jobs. A typical year will contain 260 work days, not
including holidays. Anticipated noise levels should
not surpass 90 decibles and will not be audible
off -site. Low intensity lighting will be used around
shop and office areas for security purpose.
1. Dust control will consist of water spray at all
intake and outlets on crushers; water spray of haul
roads and stockpiles; use of dust retarding
chemicals; baghouses will also be used when
appropriate.
The natural features of the property are ideally
suited for noise suppression. Berms will also be used
when necessary.
m. Please see exhibit "A" for location and design of
structures.

CONTENTS OF RECLAMATION PLAN:
a. The proposed operation will be situated in a location
that has been previously disturbed to an extent by
past mining and other activities. The reclamation
will not impact future uses in surrounding lands.
b. Mining and grading will be the primary methods
employed in reclamation. The schedule of reclamation
will be identical to the mining phases.
c. Any derelict machinery or scrap will be removed by
truck. No mining waste will be generated by this
operation. Potential contaminants, such as oil or
fuel are controlled under Hazardous Waste Management.
d. No streambed channels or streambanks will be
adversely affected by the proposed mining activities.
e. No waste piles will be generated by the operation.
Any exposed slopes not involved in mining will be
hydroseeded prior to the rainy season. Hydroseeding
will continue as often as necessary until native
grasses have been re- established.
f. The anticipated physical condition of the site will
be rough graded pads. All mining-and reclamation
grading will be conducted accordance with standard
grading practices and under the supervision of a
Soils Engineer and the provisions of the UBC.
g. Please see Exhibit "A ".
h. The proposed mining activity is expected to exhaust
mineable material.
i. Seeding and revegetation will proceed once a
portion of land has been completely mined.
j. The mining operation will be closely monitored and
regulated for safety and health and no negative
exposure to the public is anticipated. Agencies
responsible for regulation are: Mining Safety and
Health Administration; Cal -Osha; Riverside County
Department of Health.
