The Stafford County Planning Commission has deferred until July a decision to approve the expansion in the Vulcan Quarry in North Stafford.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing Wednesday about Vulcan Stafford Quarry's intentions to not only expand operations at its North Stafford facility, off Route 610, in an area between the east and west pits of the quarry but to also build a new concrete manufacturing plant.
The overall project includes a request to rezone 23 acres land of, moving it from agricultural use to heavy industrial use while amending proffers on 558 acres that are already zoned as heavy industrial.
Vulcan is also asking for a special use permit for its proposed concrete plant. The new concrete plant would replace an existing plant about seven miles away on Wyche Road, near a newly constructed interchange at Interstate 95 and Courthouse Road.
Neighbors who live in the Eastern View neighborhood, next to the mining operation, which began in 1976, expressed opposition to the expansion citing air quality and dust issues, increased noise, and increased truck traffic.
