Save Rural Andover Borough A tiny hamlet just north of Byram on Route 206, Andover Borough is a community of 260 homes and 660 residents that is about to be overwhelmed by a 590 unit development, easily adding another 1350 residents to the town! Save Hopatcong Hopatcong residents from all walks of life, fighting a 640 home age-restricted development in a pristine and environmentally sensitive area on the Byram Township border. Concerned Citizens Against Quarry Grinnell Enterprises, a local sand and gravel company, is proposing to expand quarry operations into the scenic residential Lake Grinnell neighborhood area. “Concerned Citizens Against Quarry” is a community based group formed to stop the expansion and opposes any activities that threaten the lake community and environment. “Concerned Citizens Against Quarry” consists of Sparta residents, taxpayers, homeowners and environmentalists who are concerned that the long-term mining operation will have significant repercussions on the neighborhood community, lake habitat, wildlife, and undeveloped shoreline. The environmental impacts include dust, increased traffic, noise, aesthetic degradation, surface and groundwater contamination, as well as wetlands encroachment.
