Del Norte County has no ordinance specific to cryptocurrency mining. A commercial mining operation is treated as a data center or industrial use, sited in the M — Manufacturing and Industrial District with a Use Permit and CEQA review, and bound by the same Title 7 noise limits.
Unincorporated Del Norte County does not single out cryptocurrency or bitcoin mining in its code. Because a mining operation is a room of servers and cooling equipment, it is regulated like any data center: sited as an industrial use in the M — Manufacturing and Industrial District, requiring a Use Permit and CEQA review, plus a Coastal Development Permit anywhere in the Coastal Zone. Its cooling and any on-site generators must meet the Title 7, Chapter 7 noise limits — 55 dB(A) by day and 50 dB(A) at night on residential property. Small-scale hobby mining on personal equipment inside a home falls under ordinary residential and home-occupation rules, not industrial zoning.
No crypto-specific penalty exists. A commercial mining facility built outside the M district, without required permits, or exceeding the Title 7 noise limits faces county zoning and noise enforcement and denial of permits until it conforms.
