I assume this is about the facility at the end of Nadeau Road. Apparently it will be upgraded and developed over the next few years. This facility is supposed to become operational in early 2021. It sounds like there will be lots of big trucks with heavy loads climbing Slate Range Crossing. That doesn't sound like a good thing at all, even if up to thirty-four jobs are created.
The PVL plant will convert high quality limestone rock, quarried from the company's established limestone quarry in the Panamint Valley, into 400 tons per day of high value Quick Lime and Hydrated Lime products used in cement, soil conditioning, water treatment and industrial processes. The PVL lime plant will be the only producer of lime in the state of California, where currently all lime used is imported from out of state. The PVL Lime plant will be located on a site northwest of the existing Searles Valley Minerals and ACE Cogeneration industrial facilities “on a highly disturbed brownfield site,” company officials said.
