They filed the paperwork.
They still can't sell you gravel.

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.

The question
The question that stops work
"The aggregate is coming from a pit up the valley, procurement wants a sign-off before the trucks roll. Can this mine legally sell to a public agency today — and can I prove I checked?"

Every incumbent answers a different question

Mines Online, Landfolio, GeoResGlobe, TENGRAPH, GEOCATMIN — all answer "what is this tenement?" You arrive knowing what to look up.

Nobody answers this one

Which operations are barred, how much supply that removes, and which agency owns the failure. That view does not exist.

Because it is subtractive

Every product in this category is additive: start from nothing, add what you searched for. None starts from the register and eliminates.

The rule
01 — The rule

A statute decides this,
and it is unusually crisp.

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.

The rule
One list, six conditions

Off the AB 3098 List ⇒ you cannot sell to a public agency.

The bar

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.

Who publishes it

The Division of Mine Reclamation, at least quarterly, in the California Regulatory Notice Register — covering operations reporting as newly permitted, active or idle.

PRC §2717(b) — all six must hold

(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.

The design
02 — The design

The question is a subtraction.
So the navigation is a subtraction.

Four rungs. Each one a definitionExpression citing the rule that performs the removal. No sibling in any sector navigates by elimination.

Reading the statute
The clause most summaries drop

"Newly permitted, active, or idle" —
three statuses, not one.

Read it as "active" alone

1,975 → 748 → 116 → 95

A smaller, tidier number. And wrong: the statute names three reporting statuses in its own preamble.

Read it as written

1,975 → 874 → 160 → 130

The difference is exactly 19 idle + 16 newly permitted operations — the ones that can resume and sell.

The horizon
03 — The horizon

The app ends in an admission,
not a score.

Six conditions decide the list. The public record makes exactly one of them checkable. We name the other five rather than guess them.

Control test 1 — it is not a report check

44 operations sit on the list with a stale annual report. If the list were a report-currency check, that set would be empty.

Control test 2 — it is not a plan check

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.

What it is
Honest scope

We can show the arithmetic and the gap,
because nothing proprietary is hidden in either.

What it is

A bar-to-trade instrument for public-agency procurement and the 140 SMARA lead agencies. Live state register, statutory cascade, printable procurement record.

What it is not

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.
