“There is absolutely no expansion of the quarry with the approval of this project”

Despite company claims that there is absolutely no expansion of the quarry with the approval of this project, it would require a willing suspension of disbelief for any reasonable person to accept this as fact.

In a recent article we suggested that Mayor Tom Taylor and his “boys,” Aldermen Solomon, Taylor and Skowronski, were  conducting “business as usual “ by quietly permitting the quarry; more specifically, Payne & Dolan, Inc. to prepare for an expansion of the east side of its quarry on 51^st Street.  Since our firts report, the "berm enhancement" appears to be progressively edging closer to 51st Street.

Here  is the so-called “Neighbor Letter” and an aerial view of the quarry, highlighting the project’s location we received from Cliff Weninger, Area Manager, Payne & Dolan, Inc.  Read it carefully with a syndical eye.  There must be a mammoth number of noise complaints from neighbors in the immediate area of the quarry for Payne Dolan to go through this, what appears to be great expense to buffer its operations noise from its neighbors.  Neighbor Letter From Payne Dolan, Inc.
