Ridgewood Estates is located along Highway H 5,two miles North of the <br /> proposed Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry operation. <br /> Based on our investigations and research,the owners and residents within the Ridgewood Estates are <br /> unanimously opposed to bringing an additional large-scale aggregate mining operation to our <br /> community,as t ere a e already three quarries in service along this five mile stretch of Highway <br /> 115. <br /> Our research has unveiled significant constraints to additional quarry development in the proposed <br /> location including: limited water supplies, a fragile groundwater system, rich wildlife and <br /> vegetation resources, public health and safety, air and noise contamination,compromised <br /> transportation within the community,traffic hazards along Highway 115, existing quarries that <br /> satisfy the demand,violation of current development plans for the area,proximity to local residents, <br /> and limited or no alternatives for residents. <br /> 1 <br />
