During one of the longest meetings in recent memory for the Stafford County Planning Commission, the body voted to recommend denying a proposed expansion of a rock quarry.
The quarry, which has operated a mining operation just off Route 610 in North Stafford since 1976, applied to rezone 23 acres of land adjacent to the quarry from agricultural to industrial to expand one of two mining pits on the property. The expansion would give the quarry -- wedged between single-family homes on quarter-acre lots off Route 610 in North Stafford and Quantico Marine Corps Base -- 600 acres of land on which to operate.
Vulcan Materials, the Alabama-based company that operates the mining operation, is also applying for a conditional use permit to construct a new 50-foot-tall concrete plant on the site. The firm wants to relate its current Stafford County concrete plant just off Courthouse Road, near the recently improved highway interchange at Interstate 95 at milepost 140, and an expanded commuter lot.
