UNION COUNTY â The Union County Planning Commission held off Monday night, March 8, on saying yea or nay to the proposal to create a rock quarry at the bottom of Robbs Hill Road near Perry. Instead, the commission voted to delay the decision until its next regular meeting, March 22.
The move came after about two and a half hours of testimony during a phone-in only hearing to consider approving the plan for the 250-plus acre quarry on the property of James Smejkal of Banks.
Curtis Shuck of Shelby, Montana, attorney for the quarry applicants, represented the project along with Smejkalâs son, Bob Smejkal of Eugene. Shuck said putting together the 400-page application âhas been a journey of discoveryâ that has made the project stronger.
UNION COUNTY â Locals are lining up against a proposal for a massive rock quarry near Perry and La Grande.
David Moyal of La Grande is leading the charge to block the 250-plus-acre Ponderosa Quarry Project that would operate on more than 4,700 acres where Robbs Hill Road meets Interstate 84 near the community of Perry. Locals know Robbs Hill Road as a place to pick huckleberries, Moyal said, ride bikes or just go for a beautiful drive. The quarry would end that, he said, and the effect on Perry would be drastic.
âWith the dust, and noise and the pollution â itâs unenviable,â he said.
