STRIP MINE PROJECT MOVING FORWARD
The owner of the property, Don Sakaida and his small company, Sakaida & Sons, is moving forward trying to get the mining project on Kagel Mountain in Sylmar approved. This small company hopes to win approval to mine our mountain and profit from selling the aggregate. Sakaida & Sons have hired a PR person and a consulting company to try and win approval.

About CASM - Because of the huge impact a strip mine will have on all of us, concerned SFV residents have come together with the intention of saving the San Fernando Valley’s mountains from being mined. We have formed a group called “CASM-SFV” which is Citizens Against Strip Mining in the San Fernando Valley. If you are interested in joining with your neighbors to help stop this project please contact us by email DanF@CASM-SFV.org Share this with your family, friends and neighbors. This strip mine project affects all of us.
