Description: Tell us in a few words what the item is

This is a story about a gravel company that wanted to operate a location in a neighborhood, but without engaging the community. After the community learned about the health risks, they started to push back against the gravel pit. Because of the residents' involvement, the city county council denied the gravel company the permit it needed to operate.
