Nevada City, CA – Today, after six hours of public comment over two days, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to deny Rise Grass Valley’s Idaho Maryland Mine Project and Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
The final motion read: deny the certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and deny the Rise Gold project.
“This has been a fair and consistent process,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Hardy Bullock. “Supervisors have been engaged and heard from the community and from the applicant. Our job is to reflect the values and vision of our community.”
The Supervisors’ decision is consistent with the Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation in May 2023 that Supervisors deny the proposed Idaho Maryland Mine – Rise Grass Valley Project and the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
