Virginia Sand and Gravel Operation Faces opposition

摘要

More than 800 opponents signed a petition to voice their concerns about a proposed South Shore Sand and Gravel mine near Pikes Lake in Iron River, Wis. The town board voted 5-0 to deny President Ralph Frostman's permit for the operation, but the fight isn't over. The matter is to be taken up by the Bayfield County, Wis., planning and zoning committee, according to the Ashland Daily Press.
