Today, SCELP issued comments to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control on Luck Stone Corporation’s proposal to mine gneiss and granite on a 416.8-acre site in Fairfield County for 100 years.

The residents who live in close proximity to the proposed quarry are concerned about the impacts it will have on water, wildlife and Fairfield County’s tranquil pace of life.
