Red Dirt Mining

  • Dirt is staple of long road trips on the side of vehicles, the grime collecting on shoes and is used under projects such as driveways and buildings in Northwest Arkansas. Residents voicing environmental and safety due to some quarries is a reccuring conversation in public meetings. This material is common in the region and dump trucks carry tons of dirt daily to meet the area's demand.
