This page is for providing the public with information regarding the planned Old Hickory Lake Quarry that will be next to our beautiful lake, our wildlife - including protected species such as the American Bald Eagle, and next to your Dam, Nashville! There are several closed local community groups you can join to help support the cause - the most informative one is https://m.facebook.com/groups/294723364031278?_rdr. This is not meant in any way to take the place of our wonderful community groups and there are more gifted and knowledgeable spokespersons for these groups.
Below is a quote from WSMV.com with some pertinent details. We will share more details on what you can do - as soon as possible. Time is running out for our lake!
"Metro Councilman Larry Hagar said Industrial Land Developers, LLC, has only applied for the quarry’s permit, but it has not been issued by the state. “The wildlife will be affected by this type of operation, which is blasting and things of that nature,” Hagar said. Hagar has filed an ordinance now pending in Planning and Zoning. “This particular ordinance introduces a 2,000-foot buffer zone between a quarry and a park, and also increases the buffer zone to a residential area at 1,000 feet,” Hagar said. Pragnell said she knows many will be coming together on Tuesday night to talk about protecting the area. “There’s a concern economically, ecologically, environmentally, so it’s multi-level,” Pragnell said. “They’re concerned about having another quarry in an area that should not have one.” Hagar said he hopes his ordinance will go in front of a Metro Council meeting next month . Right now, he is waiting on a legal opinion. "
Looking for an attorney that deals with "special needs" Trusts. Need to start getting things in order, just in case. I have "special needs" daughter and need to find out what I need to do. Thanks in advance.
