Neighbors push limits on sand dredge sound in Douglas County
In rural Leavenworth County roads near the Kansas River, residents led by Steve Layman urge Douglas County to set sound restrictions on Penny's Aggregates Inc. sand dredge. The dredge, which recently resumed after a December idle period, operates near Layman’s pasture, causing cattle to flee and residents to struggle with sleep, and the firm seeks a conditional use permit from the county.
