Lots of people have lived around that mine area for decades, long before Fenney was even thought of, and there is little record of it complaints because of it. These mines are all over the state and do this blasting all the time.

Most of the noise generated about this issue can be traced back to and has been political by one of the candidates for CDD12, string the pot and to raise the ire of residents, and bring attention to themselves. Sadly, many residents have fallen for the rhetoric and think that a district supervisor can do something about it. They can't, the blasting issue is not even close to being in the jurisdiction of the CDD supervisor, neither is bringing in Costco, new restaurants, hospitals, control the rate of building homes, or any other commercial enterprises.

District supervisors can make sure the landscaping is taken care of, the retention ponds are repaired when needed, and can set policy for architectural review (once Fenney is eligible in about 4 years), not much more. Most can be a useful source of information and are accurate in with their information, most are, some are uninformed and appear to get their information from the rec center pool rumor mill and on-line sources.

The blasting and the mine are one of our neighbors, like having a train track or an airport nearby. Will it damage homes, highly unlikely, will it continue, beyond most of our remaining lifetimes most likely. Something to worry and lose sleep over, I wouldn't, the homes most affected have been built and sold and will become accustom to the weekly rumble in due time. Farther away the less likely you'll be to even notice.

What's next, being upset because the prison is located nearby?

Pour another class of wine and step into the pool, enjoy your retirement.
