SUNOL, CA-An advocacy group fighting construction of a 242-acre mining quarry in Sunol, Calif. are pinning their hopes on a recently passed local open-space measure.

The issue will be discussed Wednesday at a public hearing of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Mission Valley sources say they are unworried by Measure D, since it affects only future quarry permits.
