Quarrying's environmental effect has long been a source of concern.

  • Quarrying is the method of separating rock, sand, gravel, as well as other minerals from the earth in preparation to have used them to make building materials or other goods. As a consequence, a quarry would be any excavation here on the earth's surface wherein minerals are being harvested.
  • Visual intrusion, landscape damage, traffic, smoke, noise, dust, cave damage, land loss, and deterioration in water quality are all concerns that haven't altered throughout time.
  • Mendip has been the site of mining and quarrying for almost 2000 years. Quarrying is a part of the local tradition, however, most residents are fully aware of the possible harmful consequences of quarrying.
  • However, the business has experienced significant adjustments, particularly in the last three decades, and has attempted to limit the worst effects on the local community while still meeting the demand for stone goods in the United Kingdom.
