The exploitation requires the removal and disposal of about 50 million cubic metres (Mm 3) of overburden material during the 20-year quarry lifespan. Limestone deposit is covered by a 50–70 m thick layer of soil–clayey sand and clay–which has to be removed by means of excavators/shovels and chain bucket excavator.

Nonmetallic mining is the extraction of stone, sand, rock or similar materials from natural deposits. The most common examples of nonmetallic mines are quarries and pits. Nonmetallic mining is a widespread activity in Wisconsin. The variety of geologic environments support a diverse industry. An estimated 2,500 mines provide:

EPA promulgated the Mineral Mining and Processing Effluent Guidelines and Standards ( 40 CFR Part 436) in 1975, and amended the regulation in 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979. The regulation covers wastewater discharges from mine drainage, mineral processing operations and stormwater runoff.

large-opening limestone mining operations use a primary single mine air split to ventilate the active mining faces. This single split concept eliminates the need for other control measures such as overcasts, regulators, and air doors. Ventilation techniques in underground limestone mines have evolved from using auxiliary fans alone to auxiliary

Current NIOSH Mining Program research related to this intermediate goal focuses on underground stone mines. Historically, the large majority of limestone mining has been accomplished through surface mining operations. NIOSH reported that 3,044 crushed stone mines were operating in 2019 [NIOSH 2019a]. Of that total, 90 were …
