Black Mountain Quarry
The issue is the Black Mountain Quarry, which was set up in the late
fifties by Peter Lagan from County Derry.
The parties who are involved in the issue surrounding the Black
Mountain Quarries are Black Mountain Action Group and local residents,
the Department of the Environment (D.O.E) who will decide the outcome
and Peter Lagan the present owner of the company White Mountain
Quarries
It is an issue because some local residents and the Black Mountain
Action Group want it closed for environmental reasons and the work
force needs it to maintain their livelihood.
The main concerns of the action group and the residents are the dust,
noise levels and the damage to the landscape. Viewing the mountain
from the distance it appears to have what looks like a large bite out
of it.
The Black Mountain stretches from Hannahstown hill in the west of the
city and disappears from view in the north of the city around
Cavehill. It has many features such as the Hatchet field and Bottle
field named because of their unusual shape which can be seen from most
areas of the city.
The map on the next page highlights some details to the height and
various sections of the mountain.
Task 2 Find out the different groups involved in this issue.
White Mountain Quarries are in favour of the quarry, as they own it.
Peter Lagan from Derry bought the quarry in the late fifties. To start
he only had one lorry and some second hand equipment. Within five
years Mr. Lagan had forty lorries and millions of pounds worth of
equipment. They also own a Cement Company and Tarmac firm. At the
minute they are making the runways for the Hong Kong Airport. The
Lagans are the largest family business in Northern Ireland.
Some of the local residents want the quarry to stay open as they work

Throughout this mining process, a byproduct is created called chat. The chat is leftover rock and waste from mining that did not contain the desired materials. The chat was left on the site because the Bureau of Indian Affairs thought it could be of value to the Quapaw tribe (1). This product contains high levels of toxic lead and other harmful chemicals. It is estimated that there are 75 million tons (150 billion pounds) of chat piles remaining exposed to the environment as well as numerous flotation ponds that haven’t been taken into account (4).

A mountain man is a male trapper and explorer who lives in the mountains. Mountain men were most common around the North American Rocky Mountains from around 1810 through the 1800s. Almost 3,000 mountain men were in the mountains at around 1820 and 1840, the peak beaver harvest period. While there were many free trappers, most mountain men were employed by major fur companies. The life of company men was nearly militarized. The men who had the company also had mess groups that hunted and trapped in brigades and they all reported to the head of the party. Mountain men rose up in geographic and economic expansion driven by huge earnings in the North American fur trade (wickipedia).

Prehistoric humans first left their mark there nearly 27,000 years ago, but it was not until 1985 that modern humans discovered these treasures. This ancient landmark is now known as Cosquer Cave. It is a unique cave not only for the images found there, but also because of its unusual entrance.
Every year the sand mining corporation injects seventy million dollars into the local community, in fact, the social and economic structure of the island depends on the sand mining industry. In the absence of the income from the sand mining industry, the construction will decelerate or cease to exist altogether. Additionally, the sand mining industry is culpable for numerous jobs on the island, in fact, one in five of the 200 permanent residents, which would leave a fifth of the population without an income. The largest sand mining company in the Redlands of North Stradbroke Island, Unimin provides 145 permanent residents of the island job
In Joseph Boydens short story “Abitibi Canyon”, the narrator is the mother of Remi, a child with a mental disability. They live in a reserve where the people argue about the construction of a dam in their river.

Granite is often has a “black and white” appearance. The lighter-colored minerals in granite are quartz, potassium feldspar, and plagioclase feldspar, whereas the darker-colored minerals are biotite and hornblende. here are also minor amounts of other minerals, like titanite and zircon. granite has coarse grain size, angular grain shape and poorly sorted.
