impacts and to take remedy measures. It is difficult to take a sustainable mitigation measure without detail investigation of the impacts. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the impacts of stone quarrying on the physical as well as social environment at the study area. 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1. Description of the Study Area
In 1987, United Nations’ Brundtland Commission produced a report and defined sustainability as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. With that concept in mind, quarrying operations can offer positive economic impacts for a community by the
The issues of concern haven't changed over time visual intrusion, damage to landscapes, traffic, smoke, noise, dust, damage to caves, loss of land, and a deterioration in water quality. Mining and quarrying have taken place on Mendip for well over 2000 years. Quarrying is very much part of the local heritage but most people in the area are
Torr quarry is based in Somerset and becoming more sustainable, bringing 15 million pounds into the local community each year and 5 million tonnes of rock, this quarry has become more sustainable in the following ways. Using rail transport to reduce the impact on roads. The quarry is being restored for wildlife and habitats are being restored.

environmental damage and quarrying of carbonate rock has been well doc umented for over fi fty years (Foose, 1953), there are only a few reports that include major discussions of the environmental impacts of quarrying in karst. These reports include Develop ment of Sinkholes Resulting fr om Man’ s Activities in the Eastern United States
2003). As a result of mapping and spatially characterizing quarrying activities and CDW dumpsites, special considerations are given to assess their potential impacts on the natural environment (e.g., visual impact and eect on surface runo). On one side, a considerable attention must be given to the visual impact of quarries and
impact on the surrounding natural and social environment. In particular, the removal of soil and changes in topography of the area are likely to affect local ecosystems and watersheds. Minimizing environmental impact is therefore a fundamental requirement for the sustainable operation in the cement sector. Impacts can be successfully
In this study; change detection and environmental impacts due to stone and sand quarrying activities in the watershed area have been determined and evaluated using multi temporal Landsat 5 TM
The quarrying industry provides essential materials for the economic growth and wellbeing of society, and it does so sustainably. If we are to have a long term and prosperous future, I suggest our industry must be unashamed of its role and be much more forthright in getting this message of a sustainable and valuable industry into the
In 1987, United Nations’ Brundtland Commission produced a report and defined sustainability as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. With that concept in mind, quarrying operations can offer positive economic impacts for a community by the
Mining and quarrying for minor minerals impart significant economic, environmental and social impacts in and around the affected areas. The problem is severe in the small river catchments as the effective area available for assimilating negative impacts of the activity is minimal, compared to large river basins. To address these issues, an
To further ensure that mining and quarrying are sustainable, Probe recommends making mining companies bear all their environmental risks and costs. The local fishermen’s association warns of the quarry’s potential impacts on the 72 fishing licence holders and four lobster fishermen in the area. The quarry may also threaten the
The Impacts of Quarrying. The scale and technical proficiency of the modern quarrying means that it can have a major, potentially destructive, impact on archaeological remains and can result in significant harm to the significance of nearby heritage assets. But quarrying also offers rare potential to deliver new knowledge about our historic
The impacts of stone quarrying processes on the people’s healthiness are significant since vibrations have produced crevices in some housing imperiling the lives of the residents. Additional possible impacts of quarrying that are greatly considered by environmentalists comprise biodiversity loss, land degradation and decreased plant growth

Using rail transport to reduce the impact on roads. The quarry is being restored for wildlife and habitats are being restored.
