April 28, 2021 Volunteer Sand and Gravel constructed an illegal rock quarry on the banks of the Duck River. (© Byron Jorjorian) On behalf of a number of conservation groups, SELC sent a letter asking the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to revoke a Clean Water Act permit for an illegal rock quarry on the banks of the Duck River. Volunteer Sand and Gravel constructed a quarry on the banks of the Duck River despite lacking a required permit from the Tennessee Valley Authority. During a series of storms in March, the Lower Duck flooded, predictably breaching the berms of the mine site and causing  a release of sediment that TDEC said resulted in “an observable and potentially objectionable color contrast in . . . the Duck River.”
