Cottage Grove recently issued the following announcement on March 7.
Aggregate Industries is proposing to move its mine area, which supports the existing Nelson Sand & Gravel Mine Facility, onto an approximately 395-acre parcel of privately owned land that the company leases in the backwaters of the Mississippi River on Lower Grey Cloud Island. The Cottage Grove City Council approved a resolution on March 2 to distribute the Scoping Environmental Assessment Worksheet (SEAW) and Draft Scoping Decision Document (SDD) for a required 30-day comment period. The comment period will begin March 15 and end April 14. A public hearing will be held to receive comments on March 28 at a regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting.
