Frac Sand moratorium adopted in Yucatan Township

The Yucatan Township has imposed a one-year moratorium on frac sand mining within its borders. The move, which was passed 2-1 by the Yucatan Board of Supervisors on Sept. 11, curtails development of frac sand mine on the Tracie Erickson property at 23148 State Highway 16. . . .
(The township) also defines the difference between "construction minerals" excavated from existing rock quarries and sand pits, and "industrial minerals," which include silica sand, quartz, and natural stone.
