Riverside Sand and Gravel wants to extend mining of 3 acres for a total of 12 acres.  These operations will begin 1/1/2021 to 08/13/2030. This nine year project will destroy the beautiful southern area of Joplin Mo.  The damage Mr. Vogel has already done is unrepairable. Mr. Vogel has used heavy equipment into the water to retrieve sand and gravel to sell for his profit. Now he wants to extend it to my  and my neighbors yards. We have 4 children that ride the school bus on our road. Our road is narrow and has no shoulder. More heavy equipment going in and out of our neighborhood is crucial to what is left of one of Joplin’s most beautiful park and Frisbee Golf Park. 
  Another nine more years of this destructive pattern will only increase the flooding that we have endured from his desire for profit vs beauty will affect the entire community.  The Parks and waterways in Joplin is what everyone enjoys on the weekends and this continual destruction of the historic Shoal Creek should upset everyone in this community. Please sign this petition and share it as much as possible. We only 15 days to hire a lawyer, correspond with neighbors to stop him. PLEASE SHARE AND PLEASE Sign this.
