Lane commissioners delay decision on controversial quarry in

The Lane County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday voted to delay a decision on approving a controversial quarry near Oakridge so new testimony can be examined.
Commissioners pushed back to August the decision to approve zoning changes and operations for the Old Hazeldell Quarry, a mine planned for TV Butte just outside Oakridge. The public record will remain open for several weeks to accept new testimony.
Since it was first proposed in 2015, Oakridge area residents have firmly opposed the quarry, citing concerns that wildlife, cultural sites and those living around TV Butte all will be disturbed and harmed by operations there. The Board of Commissioners approved the quarry twice, both times after opponents appealed their decisions to the state.
