AGGREGATES MANAGER / August 2017 7 PENNSYLVANIA SOUTH CAROLINA Two representatives of a Lancaster paving com- pany were charged with theft by deception and criminal conspiracy after writing $39,013.66 in bad checks to New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co.'s Burkholder Paving Quarry. According to PennLive. com, Dorothy Miller and George Stanley were do- ing business as Traditional Paving and purchased asphalt at the quarry. At press time, Miller had been released from the Lancaster County prison after posting $50,000 bail, while Stanley remained in prison in lieu of bail. Residents opposed to Vulcan Materials Co.'s quarry in Lexington County continue to argue that its approval by state environmental officials should be overturned. The State reports that they have fought the 553-acre quarry for three years. Currently, they are pressing concerns regarding wells and potential contamination. Previous- ly, they have listed concerns about wetlands and dust. County officials there have required wider buffer zones and alternate truck routes, moves that Vulcan supported. "By listening to our neighbors and working through the permitting process with Lexington County, we have been able to take a good quarry site and make it better," Jim- my Fleming, a Vulcan vice president, told the newspaper. OHIO A former limestone quarry will be the site of the newest Columbus and Franklin County Metro Park, WOSU reports. Metro Parks will develop the park in collaboration with a private company. The quarry was developed in the 1800s, with rock being used in such projects as the Statehouse and Ohio Stadium. Quarrying ended in the early 1940s. A private company, Wagenbrenner, is acquiring 607 acres from the current owner and will de- velop much of it as mixed commercial and residential property. Metro Parks expects to buy 260 acres of the parcel to create the park. "In central Ohio, this is going to be something unprecedented where we've got a large resi- dential development right in the heart of a Metro Park," Tim Maloney, Metro Parks executive director told the campus news organization, noting that it is part of a national trend toward public-private partnerships.
