More and more Floridians are demanding their counties to pass ordinance to mining and blasting activities due to its native destructiveness and adverse effects to both inhabitants, aquifers, health and infrastructure.

Ordinance still does not show how far mining should be near residential areas! No government agencies can answer this question!Blasting is controlled by the State's Fire Marshall, but they do not have any rules on how far blasting should be near residents. They only talk about the employees, the days and hours they can blast and who are authorized to blast!

DO YOU THINK IT 'S TIME FOR ST. LUCIE COUNTY TO PASS ITS OWN ORDINANCE PROTECTING THE PEOPLE, NATURAL RESOURCES AND INFRASTRUCTURE?

If you do, then contact your commissioners and lets write a petition demanding for it. It was once promised, why can't it be done today! Or are we still living in the past?
