The preliminary injunction was filed after AG Mayes held a listening session, where she heard from hundreds of residents."In response to these concerns, on Friday I took legal action, asking the court to recognize the severe implications of the mine's operation as a public nuisance and to halt its development. As Attorney General, it is my responsibility to protect the well-being of our communities.
We first reported on the development in late September. The mining operation is proposed by a company called Rock Supply LLC. The company filed the proposal with the Mine Inspector’s Office earlier in 2023. The proposed plan includes removing more than 616,000 cubic yards of aggregate over a 20-year operation, and it will sit on a 25.2 acre parcel that the company owns.
"That was the only notice that we ever saw," said Danny Brumett. "We never got any public notice from the Mine Inspector Office, from the owner of the property, or any of the other agencies involved in this."
