On April 28^th, 2015, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors voted to approve the Blue Lead Gold Mine, and simultaneously denied an appeal of the project filed by neighbors and environmental groups. The Nevada County Supervisors, before a room full of project opponents, voted 4-0 to deny the appeal and approve the project, certify the environmental document and approve a zone change to add a mining extraction overlay.  The Blue Lead Gold Mine will recover gold from a 75-acre site located 7 miles east of Nevada City and 8 miles east of Grass Valley.  The Project will process approximately 4.5 million cubic yards of material and will operate for the next 20 years.
