Flyrock Slide Show

A blast from a quarry sent a rock crashing into this home in Buffalo Township. Why would we want to take the chance of exposing families in Berkley and Assonet to this type of safety hazard and property damage by allowing the Cape Cod Aggregates quarry site in an area surrounded by homes?

More Assonet Residents Feeling Blasts

More and more residents of Assonet are reporting feeling their homes shake from the quarry blasting. The blasts are starting to affect more homes that are further away from the blast site.

Resident Almost Hit Due to Quarry Trucks

An Assonet resident was walking on Bryant St, looking for her cat. One large truck was exiting the quarry and another large truck was entering the quarry. There wasn't enough room on Bryant St. for two large trucks traveling in opposite directions at the same time. Bryant St. is a narrow road with no curb, shoulder or sidewalk. The trucks were holding up several cars that were trying to get by. Once a car got around the trucks, the person walking had to jump off the road and take a nose dive into the woods to avoid being hit. This is creating a public safety hazard.
