The scarring   that Hanson creates by depositing waste rock on the most visible section  of their property continues to worsen. Hanson tells us that they are considering CGF's suggestion to speed  up the process of eliminating the visible scar through revegetation. We  will continue to push for the end of the scarring, and completion of revegetation,  as soon as possible.  Meanwhile, we are concerned that Hanson may be planning  to add more waste rock, doubling the height of visible scars above the  quarry. In addition, we have received complaints from nearby residents  about increased night-time noise and lighting from after-hours operation.  We will be investigating these problems as well. If you are a neighbor of the Hanson Quarry or  are concerned about their operations, please contact CGF's Legislative  Advocate Brian Schmidt with observations or questions: (650) 968-7243  or Brian@GreenFoothills.org.
