The Imperial County Planning Commission meets Wednesday to discuss and potentially move forward plans submitted by Western Mesquite Mines Inc. for a gold mining operation.
Environmental advocates are saying the environmental impact report is outdated and that the current proposed project does not fit within its parameters.
They also say the project would disturb sacred cultural landscape of the Quechan tribe, degrade local air quality and threaten sensitive species.
Listen in on the discussion starting at 9 a.m.
