The proposed mining site is just hundreds of feet away from a community that fears it would threaten their quality of life.
CHINO VALLEY, Ariz. — The state attorney general is trying to stop an Arizona company from building a mine in the middle of a Chino Valley neighborhood in Yavapai County.
"We are what we call ground zero," said Susi Brumett who retired with her husband to Cedar Heights, a Chino Valley neighborhood, in search of peace and quiet.“Are we going to have to move? We can’t sell our house. Nobody is going to want to move next to a mine," Brumett said.Arizona companies, Rock Supply, LLC and Fortune Rock, LLC plan on building an aggregate mine on five acres of land surrounded by the residentially zoned property.
