Yolo County extends controversial gravel mining permit along Cache Creek

Supervisor Lucas Frerichs, who raised the issue of revisiting the CCAP in 2026, noted the importance of both the product and environmental restrictions. “This is one of the more stringent restrictions on mining in the entire state of California,” he said. As a result, if gravel mine operators were to move elsewhere, they would likely be subject to fewer regulations.
