Why is the Quarry not being held responsible for non-compliance?
The Permanente Quarry was found to be out of compliance with the State Surface Mine and Reclamation Act, due to areas of disturbance occurring outside the boundary of the approved reclamation plan. These areas include land covered by access roads and other disturbances from mining. The County issued a combined Notice of Violation and Order to Comply (NOV/OTC) to Hanson (now Lehigh), and the mine operator is responsible for complying with the NOV/OTC. The proposed reclamation plan amendment is expected to address the violations noted in the NOV/OTC.
