The 2020 meeting with representatives from the quarry was interesting. I attended to get an opportunity to voice my concerns over the damage that I was seeing done to Duncan Branch. It became very clear that the only reason Vulcan attended was to push their agenda for westward expansion.

When anyone voiced a complaint about the truck traffic, dust, noise, blasting, or environmental destruction, it was like a broken record:

"We were here first."
"We meet all state regulations."

And my favorite, which in my opinion was a thinly-veiled threat:

"We are only blasting at 0.10 the limit allowed by law."

So, go home and shut up or your walls are *really* gonna rattle. Some good neighbor.

In my previous post I forgot to mention another of my favorite responses. If you complain to a quarry rep about the trucks, the response is "Those are not our trucks."

They don't accept responsibility for any of the detrimental effects they have on our community.
