Public hearing on rock crusher permit draws wary residents
About 40 residents attended the Monday night hearing in Los Cordovas as opponents urged denial of a Southwest Custom Crusher permit. State official Bruce Nicholson said the agency must issue the permit if air quality tests are passed, citing models showing safe dust levels. Residents pressed concerns on noise dust and long-term site use, while company reps claimed a 20 to 120 day maximum operation window depending on weather, with local access promised to be limited and temporary.
