Environmental Organizations Standing With Us
The proposed quarry site sits within the Little River Valley — a floodplain with sensitive wetlands, native habitat, and a watershed that feeds private wells throughout the region. Environmental organizations have raised concerns about irreversible hydrological changes, loss of wildlife habitat, and long-term threats to water quality and ecosystem health.

Stating Opposition To The Proposed Quarry On Homestead Road
We (the Southwest Conservation Club) stand with the Little River Wetlands Project and those local residents who are in opposition to the proposed quarry project along Homestead Road. Changes to the hydrology of the Little River Valley, the risk of health problems to the residents of Waynedale and other southwest neighbors, and endangerment to the native organisms we strive to protect are the chief reasons for our opposition.
The Southwest Conservation Club is located on Bluffton Road in the Waynedale area. It is a 37 acre wildlife reserve consisting of a prairie, campground, an archery course, woodlots, four ponds, a trap and skeet field, hiking trails, and a clubhouse. It was chartered in 1938 and has been in continual existence since that time.
The purpose and pledge of Southwest Conservation Club is to promote true sportsmanship and principles of broad conservation, to promote legislation designed to conserve and restore wildlife in our coverts and waters, and to promote and co-operate in the beautification and purification of our rivers.
Approved by the Southwest Conservation Club Board of Directors and the members of the Club on 4/13/2026.
