Residents near the Mission Gorge rock quarry in San Carlos are dealing with dust, shaking, and noise from the nearly 100-year-old operation, now owned by Vulcan Materials. - David Long and his wife wipe black soot from counters daily and smell tar when asphalt is mixed.
- Residents report homes shaking, artwork falling, and windows compromised from blasting. - Vulcan Materials plans to move blasting 300 feet closer to homes, raising safety concerns.
- A civil case against former owner Superior Ready Mix is pending. The community fears for safety and quality of life as the quarry continues operations without mitigation.
