Neighbors fight against proposed rock mine near Sequim

Four years after moving to Sequim, Linda Brenner discovered a rock mine is being proposed at a vacant pit less than 600 feet from her front door.
According to paperwork filed with Clallam County, the mine would operate from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday with rock being blasted, drilled, crushed and trucked.
Neighbors say dozens of homes, 74 wells, and at least seven school bus stops would be impacted by the mine.

Omg ! really would ruin that beautiful peaceful place .

[@johnnyappleseed.4420]

Their not ruining it.. They probably actually have a better understanding of how the geology works. Most of the people crying don't even know what type of rock their trying to protect or why. People have been brained washed into thinking all mining is bad but this is actually cleaner then building a home next to a wildlife pond.... just saying.

@@lilaccilla how is all mining bad? You know you literally wouldn't be able to post that with out mining.... Lol

[@johnnyappleseed.4420]

@@lilaccilla Only the Siths deal in absolutes. Also saying all mining is bad is pretty ignorant.

[@Julesong]

Lots of water and toxic runoff associated with mining. 😡

[@johnnyappleseed.4420]

That's not really true anymore.... their not gold mining with mercury. This type of mining is actually cleaner then most industrial processes.

I’m local, looks really familiar from years ago! May or may not rode my dirt bike there. But 10+ years ago

Welp, time to colonize elsewhere.

[@johnnyappleseed.4420]

Also some simple research on Gaia or onX would have told you there was a historical mine there....

[@johnnyappleseed.4420]

Same people crying are the same people who build their home next to wildlife ponds then rent them out on air bnb.. People mine, fish and hunt in the forest if you don't like that don't move to the forest. Same people will move next to a farm and complain about the smell.
