AB 1425: San Joaquin River Parkway: pit dewatering.
What AB 1425 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to prohibit pit dewatering in areas with subsurface river flow or groundwater levels shallower than 50 feet below ground within a specific parkway. This is done to protect the environment and ensure the long-term sustainability of the area. The bill also makes legislative findings and declarations regarding the necessity of a special statute for the parkway. The proposed law is designed to align with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975, which requires permits and reclamation plans for surface mining operations.
