There's a meeting on Thursday night to discuss a proposed blast mine on the San Joaquin River. The town hall opens at 5 p.m. at the River Center, near Riverpark, with food trucks and beverages.

Joaquin Arambula, one of Fresno's state assemblymen, is trying to stop a blast mine on the San Joaquin River. Federal officials say there is a "notable risk" that the mine will spill chemicals such as lead, arsenic, and other toxic chemicals into the river.

Fresno has a 200% gravel surplus. So why does CEMEX want to dig a pit deeper than Millerton Lake along one of America’s most over-extracted rivers?

Fresno city leaders hope to bring CEMEX to the negotiating table voluntarily.
