Quarry's Plan For Future Gets First Look
The Millington Quarry's plan for how 180 acres or so on Bernards' eastern border would be rehabilitated for future use after quarrying stops received a first look before the Planning Board on Tuesday night, prompting questions about proposed truck traffic and the origin of soil that would be brought in to lay the groundwork for a potential residential neighborhood.
"We want to distinguish this from a development plan," said Michael T. Lavigne, an attorney representing Millington Quarry Inc. "That would come later," he told the board and public.
The goals of the rehabilitative plan, required by law, would be to protect natural resources, such as water quality, to prevent erosion and to prepare the land for reuse after the life of the quarry is ended, according to Lavigne's testimony.
The quarrying operation off Stonehouse Road has slowed since Tilcon New York ceased its large-scale mining early in 2010. Tilcon reportedly leased the quarry from MQI starting in 1999 and until last year. Millington Quarry acquired the quarry in 1978, according to testimony last night.
