Exhibit "D" was then presented which was a map from <br />the Morgan County Plan Co~m~ission showing severe industrial limitations in the <br />area which was the subject of this special exception. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Nicholson then proceeded to advise that the mining operation would <br />be a slow one over 10 to 20 years and that this was a significant time to be <br />mining and many changes could take place from the proposed wet operation. She <br />also advised that the wet crusher had an effect on the area in making silt which <br />would fill up the area and after settling would make the recreational lake not <br />functional.
