Canal Quarry, located in Richmond, California, presented numerous challenges to the reclamation process.
Mined since 1959, operators used hillside and open pit mining techniques to harvest Franciscan Sandstone. The site is characterized by an excavated 150-foot high slope abutting public parklands and a flat quarry floor. The general reclamation effort involved re-grading 16 acres of the 25-acre site, followed by native revegetation planting. Several site conditions had to be addressed, including slope instability, active slides, rock topple, erosion, inadequate revegetation, and poor drainage. The Canal Quarry Reclamation Plan prepared by LSA Associates, Inc. was approved in 2006. The site is in the process of being reclaimed.
