8.1 Continuation of hearing for the Draft Environmental Impact Report on the Idaho-Maryland Mine Project. Discussion and public comment on the adequacy of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Idaho Maryland Mine Project. The City has received an application from the Idaho-Maryland Mining Corporation proposing to re-open the Idaho-Maryland Mine in a three-phased approach. The Idaho-Maryland Mining Corporation (IMMC) proposes to reopen the historic Idaho-Maryland Mine and develop precious and industrial mineral deposits into gold and high quality stone ceramic products. Specific applications include: 1) General Plan Amendment, 2) Prezoning, 3) Annexation, 4) Development Review, and 5) Mineral Extraction. The Idaho-Maryland Mine project comprises three properties that encompass a total of 139 acres of land located with the City of Grass Valley and unincorporated Nevada County. These properties include the: (1) Idaho-Maryland site (101 acres); (2) New Brunswick site (37 acres); and (3) Round Hole site (a 1-acre easement within an 8 acre parcel). The annexation of the Idaho-Maryland site includes an additional 26.7 acres of land for a total of approximately 128 acres. The project sites are located east of State Routes 20/49; the Idaho Maryland and Round Hole sites are located south of Idaho Maryland Road, west of Brunswick Road, and north of East Bennett Road, and the New Brunswick site is located southwest of the intersection of Brunswick Road and East Bennett Road. The public review period for the DEIR for the Idaho-Maryland Mine extends from October 30 to January 20, 2009.
