130 California mining operations filed a current annual report and remain barred from selling to any public agency in the state. The public record cannot tell you why.
Mines Online, Landfolio, GeoResGlobe, TENGRAPH, GEOCATMIN — all answer "what is this tenement?" You arrive knowing what to look up.
Which operations are barred, how much supply that removes, and which agency owns the failure. That view does not exist.
Every product in this category is additive: start from nothing, add what you searched for. None starts from the register and eliminates.
Two Public Contract Code sections create the bar. One Public Resources Code subdivision defines the list — with six conditions that must all hold at once.
PCC §10295.5 — a state agency shall not acquire minerals from an operation
not on the list.
PCC §20676 — contractors and operators may not sell sand,
gravel, aggregate or other mined materials to a local agency in the same case.
The Division of Mine Reclamation, at least quarterly, in the California Regulatory Notice Register — covering operations reporting as newly permitted, active or idle.
| (1) | reclamation plan approved |
| (2) | financial assurance approved, ≥ current estimate |
| (3) | cost estimate filed, per the lead agency's inspection |
| (4) | annual report submitted |
| (5) | all fees, penalties and interest paid |
| (6) | not out of compliance with an order to comply |
And §2717(c): an appeal pending under 180 days keeps an operator on the list despite failing (1) and (2) — so the list is not even a pure conjunction of its own conditions.
Four rungs. Each one a definitionExpression citing the rule that performs the removal. No sibling in any sector navigates by elimination.
1,975 → 748 → 116 → 95
A smaller, tidier number. And wrong: the statute names three reporting statuses in its own preamble.
1,975 → 874 → 160 → 130
The difference is exactly 19 idle + 16 newly permitted operations — the ones that can resume and sell.
Six conditions decide the list. The public record makes exactly one of them checkable. We name the other five rather than guess them.
| (1) | reclamation plan | not evidenced |
| (2) | financial assurance | amount only |
| (3) | inspection | 499 Token Required |
| (4) | annual report | READABLE |
| (5) | fees paid | 499 Token Required |
| (6) | order to comply | 499 Token Required |
The Division of Mine Reclamation's own service folder is token-gated. Inspections, fee ledgers and orders to comply are not public.
44 operations sit on the list with a stale annual report. If the list were a report-currency check, that set would be empty.
The reclamation-plan field is populated on 21.8% of listed operations and 17.2% of barred ones. A 4.6-point gap cannot carry a legal claim — it measures extract completeness.
So the flag is not reducible to any public field — which is exactly why the app renders the published flag instead of recomputing it.
A bar-to-trade instrument for public-agency procurement and the 140 SMARA lead agencies. Live state register, statutory cascade, printable procurement record.
Not the AB 3098 List — the quarterly publication governs. Not a compliance determination. Not a tenure system: the register publishes points, so no permit boundary is ever drawn.
