Responsible Mining and Land Use: A Geologist’s Perspective
This week, host Brock Yordy explores ideas about how mines can be good neighbors with Mike Wilczynski of Pangea Environmental LLC. The Certified Professional Geologist, who has decades of experience in the field, helps us weigh the need for aggregate mining with complex zoning, safety and citizen-rights issues.
“I’d like to see legislators talk to residents. All of this legislation is being proposed by the industry, with some involvement maybe from a legislator sponsoring it,” Wilczynski says. “But I don’t see them coming out and going to mines and talking to people who live next to them and experience what they have to go through every day.”
