No Quarry on Homestead

05/01/2026

DO NOT let the narrative fool you.

Protections for quarries, asphalt plants, and concrete plants in Allen County are LIMITED and FRAGMENTED.

They primarily come from local zoning/land-use approvals and state environmental permitting through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) which as we know does NOT rank high for protecting our environment.

There are NO 👎 strong, automatic buffers or comprehensive community protections built into the rules that guarantee minimal impacts on nearby homes, schools, or hospitals.

🟥 Will berms really stay green? No.🟥

Although often shown as “green space” on quarry site maps, berms are typically designated as “overburden storage” or “vegetated berm/overburden areas”—meaning they are planned locations for placing stripped soil and rock removed from the quarry pit.
-

These berms are constructed from compacted soil and rock, shaped into steep, engineered slopes, and repeatedly reworked as quarrying progresses. As a result, they function as industrial infrastructure, not preserved open space, parkland, or natural habitat.
