GARDEN RIDGE, TX – Texans for Responsible Aggregate Mining (TRAM) commends the City of Garden Ridge for its recent unanimous vote to hire mining consultant Jill Shackelford to assist in forming a Citizen Advisory Council (CAC) to address aggregate production operations (APOs). 
 

The community initiative to address local concerns related to quarrying and aggregate mining is a collaboration between local stakeholders including APO operators, residents, local governments, and others. This action was prompted by recent and forecasted growth in quarrying activities in and around Garden Ridge, including the planned expansion of Heidelberg Materials, a German-owned international mining company.
