In addition to all of the very valid concerns about the environmental and lifestyle concerns, our roads are not designed to handle the loaded truck traffic. See how quickly 1753 fell apart after it was redone. 274 has been redone several times in the 8 years we have lived in Ravenna. 898 was extensively redone and it is falling apart again. There are obvious safety concerns.
Dan supported: Stop Sand and Gravel Mining in Mulberry, Texas and Fannin CountyI began over 2 years ago recording changes to Lake Bonham second crossing the deluge of sand that has been increasingly deposited. The larger issue though is how both the city and the county will protect the environment, the resources, and the needs of the area for residents now and into the future. This is one of many examples for our leaders to lead now and into the future.
Steve supported: Stop Sand and Gravel Mining in Mulberry, Texas and Fannin CountyOur home and property are located less than three miles away from where sand plant is going in. I’m concerned that the truck traffic will be a nuisance.
My wife and I retired here four years ago for the quite peaceful country living and now we are about to be disrupted by many many trucks per day running in front of our home.
We are located at 3779 FM 274 Ravenna, TX.
Walter supported: Stop Sand and Gravel Mining in Mulberry, Texas and Fannin CountyI have lived in this area all my life and have watched several sand and gravelly plants come in to the area to provide materials for the metropolis and surrounding areas. I would much rather see them use the resources in their area than to come and destroy the rural rodes and communities that live here. We have a contact barage of semi trucks traveling hwy 78 that have literally destroyed the roads. I have had to replace tires and windshields multiple times over the years just to turn around and have them damaged again, not to mention the digging into and destroying the water table.
Chad supported: Stop Sand and Gravel Mining in Mulberry, Texas and Fannin CountyMy family has already dealt with the sand pit north west of Ravenna. We were forced to move because of the pit right next door. Who wants to raise a family with diesel smell, loud semi’s 24/7, bright lights aimed at your home at night,and the dust from the semi’s driving in and out loaded with sand. It also destroys water wells and not to mention the roads that are being destroyed at tax payers expense. Now that same pit is being built at Mulberry. Mulberry is an Awesome place for families to live. The pit has now become an ugly eye sore. It wont take long before the new farm to market road that is being built will begin to be destroyed by the overloaded semi’s. It is time that semi’s are weighed and held accountable for destroying the roads that they destroy.
Sherry supported: Stop Sand and Gravel Mining in Mulberry, Texas and Fannin CountyWe have enough gas stations, oil companies, and mechanic shops in Michigan as it is. There is no reason to put a gas station next to a river. With all the fumes from factories in the air, most of the people living in Michigan can't breathe and end up with respiratory problems. As someone who grew up dealing with asthma, I see this as unfair to citizens of Michigan. Especially now that it is 2025, there should be change to help improve the environment and the publics health. Not change to destroy it.
