Land degradation: Quarry mining often leaves behind large open pits or
holes in the ground. These abandoned sites can become eyesores and can
be difficult to rehabilitate. The removal of vegetation and topsoil during
mining operations can lead to soil degradation and erosion, making it
challenging for the land to recover its original state.
Noise and vibration impacts: Quarry mining operations can generate high
levels of noise and vibrations due to the use of blasting techniques and
heavy machinery. This can have negative effects on the surrounding
communities, including disturbance of residents, interference with wildlife
habitats, and potential damage to nearby structures.
