Project Description

The White Pine County Road Department intends to establish a new 5-acre community gravel pit in North Spring Valley, White Pine County, Nevada. The pit will provide a local, proximate source of gravel and aggregate for maintenance and repair of nearby county roads, including County Road 37 and connecting routes that currently lack a nearby material source. This will improve road conditions, reduce maintenance costs and travel distances, and enhance public safety. The entire 5-acre pit will be located north of Third Butte along County Road 37 near its intersection with County Road 1050. Operations will use standard equipment with material hauled on existing routes. No new permanent infrastructure is proposed. The pit will be developed incrementally with concurrent reclamation as areas are depleted. Extraction will be limited to a total of 50,000 cubic yards until additional environmental analysis is conducted.
