ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED
These are some of the issues the County, SFWM, FDEP, and other
government agency involve need to address for discussion.
Florida
has a lot of mining activities going on (map
of existing mines).
In Carlton and Glades Cutoff Road alone, we already have Florida
Rock, which
can
supply
most of the needed materials for St. Lucie County. St. Lucie County
alone has approximately 12 mining location (old stat). Dickerson
Florida already has a lot of mining pit in different sections of
Florida which are not fully utliized.
Mining
activities - as everybody knows - bring in a lot of money, but
we should consider its adverse impact manifested all over the
world. If we do not put a stop and minimize this nature - raping
activity now, we and the future children will wake up one day and
realize what we have been taking for granted is gone forever!
