It’s been nearly four years since neighbors of a proposed limestone quarry north of Yellow Springs banded together to fight the mining effort.
They formed a group, Citizens Against Mining, or CAM, based in Mad River Township, to challenge the company, Enon Sand and Gravel, in a multi-pronged battle.
Along the way, there have been both setbacks and victories, but so far mining has yet to get underway on the 420-acre property.
And in December 2020, the citizens group celebrated another win a private lawsuit settled in favor of five neighbors of the mine who successfully argued that mining could damage their property values and private wells.
