Utah’s Millard County Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit for Crystal Peak Minerals’ Sevier Playa Potash Project earlier this month, according to the Millard County Chronicle Progress. The matter now moves on to the local County Commission, which will make a final decision on the permit at an upcoming meeting.
In August, Crystal Peak Minerals received a positive Record of Decision from the U.S. Bureau of Mines (GM Aug. 30, p. 1). Upon receipt of funding and completion of detailed engineering, the company said it will be in a position to begin construction in 2020.
