Chaney Enterprises, headquartered at 2410 Evergreen Road, Suite 201, Gambrills, MD wishes to surface mine three parcels in the area of Jones Road, Friendship School Road and Maypole Road in Saint Mary's County, Maryland. This totals approximately 342 acres.

Why does this interest you?

Effects of this proposed development would include:

• Decrease in property values of nearby homes

• Potential difficulty in selling property due to nearby mining operations

• Noise

• Dust

• Increased traffic

• Loss of wildlife habitat

• Loss of our beautiful rural atmosphere

We, the undersigned, are petitioning that Chaney Enterprises NOT be granted a zoning variance to surface mine these properties, parcels 69, 102 and 105, currently zoned as Rural Preservation Lands.
