To date, our petition has been signed by 1,285 folks.  All opposed to the proposed gravel mine on Ormond Road.  We still have quite a long road ahead of us, please continue to stay informed by visiting our Facebook Page, Mining Paradise-Springfield Twp.  The page has a "files" tab, loaded with documents and important information.  In addition, our group has a volunteer creating a website.  We hope to have the website live by end of the week.  

Volunteers will be handing out flyers tonight throughout our local area, a copy can we found below.  If your schedule permits, please attend the upcoming Township Board meeting (June 12) and Planning Commission meeting (June 24) at 7:00pm

NO GRAVEL PIT IN DAVISBURG 

The Levy Mining Company has proposed a 496-acre gravel pit here in our hometown (Ormond Rd; N of Big Lake Rd & S of French Rd). Lasting 25+ years.

Why you should care:

·       80+ gravel trains a day; Mon-Sat, 6am-8pm.  Current suggested route: Ormond Rd, Davisburg Rd & S on Milford Rd

·       Health Risks – dust and silica (proven to be cancer causing) in the air; noted to travel 5+miles

·       Water table risks (risk of drying up wells and local lakes)

·       Road safety

·       Long term environmental impacts

·       Property value depreciation

What can YOU do about this???

Let our Township Board (your elected officials) know that you have concerns about the Serious Consequences if approved.  Please considering attending:

·       June 12th @ 7pm Springfield Township Board meeting

·       June 24th @ 7pm Planning Commission meeting

You are needed at BOTH meetings, held at the Civic Center (12000 Davisburg Rd). Please aid us and our community in stopping this proposal.
