The Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER) is currently reviewing operations at the Raging River Quarry, to ensure they meet current environmental and operating standards.

Public comments on the site operations and its ability to meet the conditions of its permit are welcome during the review process, through Thursday, Sept. 22. To share your comments, send e-mail to Fred White, DPER Project Manager, at fred.white@kingcounty.gov or mail them to 35030 S.E. Douglas St., Suite 210, Snoqualmie, WA 98065-9266.

The quarry opened last fall and has applied for a permit to expand operations into the full 50 acres of the site. Currently, only half that area is being quarried.

Neighbors opposed to the quarry’s operations have complained about the noise of operations and the truck traffic from the business since May. The Raging River Conservation Group has also formed to opposed the expansion of the quarry.
