In December 2024, the County of Fresno Department of Public Works and Planning released the draft environmental impact report (DEIR) on Cemex’s proposed plan to modify its existing Rockfield aggregate operation on Friant Road (Modification Plan) and received public comments through March 10, 2025. … Inaccurate information about the modification plan has been broadly communicated by a few project opponents and unfortunately perpetuated by some local digital channels. Importantly, Cemex does not propose to mine in the San Joaquin River. This has been clear throughout the application process and any suggestions otherwise are disingenuous at best and appear designed to mislead the public.
