5. No Snow Camp Mine! Spread The Word
This episode I talk with Jane Lea Hicks who is a founding member of the No Snow Camp Mine Chapter. Snow Camp is a small community in Alamance County and the concern is that the County approved an intent-to-construct permit that was submitted for a crushed stone quarry on over 344 acres in the middle of Snow Camp. Crushed stone is produced by mining a suitable rock deposit- which in this case is the quarry and breaking the removed rock down to the desired size using crushers. The land for the quarry had been purchased by Snow Camp Property Investments, LLC. After the residents found out about the permit, the No Snow Camp Mine Chapter formed and is a group of concerned residents are working to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their small North Carolina community. We discuss the issues of this proposed quarry, who is investing in the project, the environmental and health effects to the community, and other major concerns with this proposed project. We talk about what the No Snow Camp Mine has done to fight against this and what you all can do to get involved.
