On May 20, the Richland County Board passed the revised zoning ordinance regarding industrial sand mining. This represents eight months of work by the Zoning and Land Information Committee, the Frac Sand Advisory Committee, and citizens like you. The ordinance builds on best practices from counties and towns experiencing industrial  sand mining in Wisconsin.

This is a first big step.  We must remain vigilant and make sure the ordinance is applied effectively and enforced. As we move forward, we will continue to monitor the industrial sand mine industry in our state.

Thank you to everyone who worked on this effort or provided encouragement and support.
