Anne:
I seem to recall that StoneCo (Ottowa Lake and/or Maybee MI facilities) was frequently on the Quarterly Non-Compliance lists. You can check them out here:

Seems like the compliance history of the company would be one more arrow in your quiver.
Best of luck,
--TR

Stoneco of Michigan has applied to Ross Township (Kalamazoo Area, Richland and Gull Lake) for a special exception use permit to allow the establishment of a gravel mining and extraction operation. Citizens are mobilizing, and we have quite a bit of research generated already, but I thought I would send out a note through E-M to get any insight into other’s experiences either fighting these gravel pits or living in their vicinity. Thank you for any thoughts, advice, or experience you’d like to share.
