I'm assuming they will have to file an environmental impact statement before expanding their operations? Hopefully the DNR will make sure the wetlands are protected

The owners of the aggregate quarry on the hill above the 180th street marsh have purchased the two properties to the north and are seeking a permit to expand the rock quarry. At this point I have heard nothing to indicate that the Vermillion town supervisors think that a mining operation is in any way not compatible with a sensitive wetland habitat even if it is a waystation for rare migrants or endangered and threatened breeding birds and turtles.
Good birds: I have a report of a Ross's Goose flying over Cedar Avenue near Farmington High School. I don't know if the observer was able to report this bird on eBird.
