GV Wire’s Edward Smith talks with KMPH Fox 26 “Great Day” anchor Christina Rodriguez about the possibility of CEMEX digging a 600-foot hole on the San Joaquin River and mining aggregate with explosive blasting.

CEMEX says the river mine is needed to make concrete for construction projects.

However, there is pushback from local politicians and environmental groups that want to preserve the river.
