Mining company ordered to stop work next to school south of Everett



EVERETT — After Mountain Loop Mine operated for almost 10 months without permits, Snohomish County ordered all operations at the company’s Everett site to stop Wednesday, adding tension to an already fraught relationship with the neighboring elementary school.

Since last spring, Fairmount Elementary School staff and children have reported headaches from constant scraping and banging, as a revolving door of dump trucks load and unload mounds of gravel, rock and sand at the yard about 50 feet from some classrooms.

Many teachers said students have also experienced bloody noses and coughing fits they attributed to dust from the Everett Aggregate Yard.

In the emergency order, Snohomish County Planning and Development Services said the aggregate yard at 2615 Center Road violates standards from county code relating to noise.

Once again proves that mining corps don't give a fuck about anyone or anything that doesn't bring them all the revenue there is of a thing.
