Our informational mailer went out to 1,976 local residents, hopefully you received it and that's how you know about the quarry and the website. Mailer also linked below in case you want to forward to friends or neighbors
We've ordered yard signs and will be placing them on our properties. We don't have a lot of them, but if you'd like one please contact us - first come, first served

This is not a place for a Rock Quarry. Water pollution to the Columbia River, Washougal River, McCloskey Creek, other Tributaries and well water contamination for area residents. J.L. Stordahl has been sued for water pollution and breaking rules of operation. They keep paying the fines and operating with continued disregard. The best solution is not be given this operating permit, period. The state of Washington should buy this land from Weyerhaeuser and keep it in forest preservation and preserved conservation And not destroy the Columbia Gorge.
A better solution would be for the county to grant an easement through forest acreage that the Quarry company could construct their own private road down to Hwy 14 and not use Mabee Mines!
