Summary

Existing law defines a nuisance, in part, as anything that is injurious to health, or is indecent or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property. Existing law authorizes various remedies for nuisances, including remedies to effect abatement and damages. Existing law provides, among other things, that no agricultural activity, operation, facility, or appurtenances thereof, as defined, in operation for more than 3 years, and conducted or maintained for commercial purposes in a manner consistent with proper and accepted customs and standards, shall become a nuisance due to any changed condition in the locality if it was not a nuisance at the time it began, except as specified. This bill would provide that no mining activity, operation or facility, or appurtenances thereof, as defined, conducted or maintained for commercial purposes by means of a quarry or pit for more than 3 years pursuant to an active, valid land use authorization and reclamation plan shall become a nuisance due to any changed condition in the locality if it was not a nuisance at the time it began, except as specified.
