Which is best, more money for the special interest of big business or a healthy and good quality of life for the families in this area of Tooele County? We already can see the hardships from big gravel pits. The dust is always blowing even when they are shut down. The wind blows a lot of dust off of these big gravel pits and gravel piles just north of Stockton. We are always cleaning dust from our homes inside and out, and we know when we breathe in we are getting a lung full of dust and this will shorten our lives. We will have to stop more new gravel excavation in this area. The Harper Company purchased property on the Stockton Bar knowing it was zoned for no excavation. Now they are trying to rezone for a new gravel pit. Harper has been negotiating with some Stockton residents to gain their support and there is a big group of people working to save the Stockton Bar. With so many people working together, it can be saved.
