Donna forwarded a report that Buffalo County, MN has turned down a conditional use permit for an industrial sand mine near Wabasha. The Board of Adjustment held a public hearing on Jan. 12 that included a visit to the site of the proposed mining operation.
Donna's correspondent notes that a view of the three valleys that would be destroyed by mining may have swayed some votes. Apparently, two Golden Eagles also showed up to skydance their opposition.
Donna notes, "A CUP for the Lindstrom mine would have meant 200 trucks a day going through Wabasha, 100 filled with sand and another 100 on the return trip. Victory can happen."
The vote was 3 to 0.
