lunchbucket; you just made one of those "never" statements. The locals in my area are fighting a new quarry proposal. One of the potential problems is limestone dust. It has the potential to dessicate plants in dry areas. It may upset the ecosystem in the acid swamp next to the quarry. If you use ag lime at recommended rates and apply it properly there should be no problem. But even with ag lime you could have a chemical spill in an area that can't handle it.

Be careful; you can't make things fool proof. Fools are too resouceful.
