Quaker Brook, wetlands and several vernal pools are located on the Berkley side of the Cape Cod Aggregates quarry property. Quaker Brook feeds into the Assonet River and environmental impact on Quaker Brook may negatively impact the Assonet River. Quaker Brook could be at risk of becoming contaminated with silt, rock dust and chemical contaminates from blasting. CCA would be pumping the aquifer out of the quarry in order ti mine. There has been no hydrology study to determine the relationship between the aquifer and the wetlands. Pumping the aquifer may dry up the wetlands. Several vernal pools would be permanently obliterated in creating the quarry pit. Creating the quarry would result in a loss of habitat for local wildlife.
Quarry dust from rock crushing creates air pollution.
Trucks, blasting and heavy equipment create noise pollution.
