Skyline Aggregates Quarry Project

Description

A 50-year surface mine, processing and reclamation project on about 460 acres of a 640-acre parcel, capped at 450,000 tons per year with 24-hour operations only when contractually required. Approved with 38 mitigation measures, 70-plus conditions, and a statement of overriding considerations for unavoidable aesthetic and biological impacts.

Impact summary

Roughly 75 local jobs today with a goal of 125 in a decade, a local aggregate supply, widened lanes and turn pockets on Skyline Road, and a 300-acre conservation buffer — weighed against dust, blasting several times a year, and visual change visible from public roads.
