Fresno Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula will host a town hall Thursday evening to rally opposition against CEMEX’s proposed blast mine along the San Joaquin River, a project critics warn could contaminate groundwater and damage critical habitat. The April 24 event at the River Center will feature presentations on the environmental impacts of the mining giant’s expansion plans and highlight Arambula’s legislation aimed at blocking the project. … “The CEMEX Rockfield Expansion poses a serious threat to wildlife, water quality, air quality, and the long-term vision for the San Joaquin River Parkway. This is a critical moment for our community to get informed, get involved, and make your voices heard,” the flyer for the event reads.
