Please review the quarry in solonggon La Libertad Negros Oriental if they are legal to extract the resources in the river (sand, gravel,stone) to sell.

But my concern is the (Noise Pollution) noisy stockpiling beside residential area. A week ago one of our neighbor brought our brgy. captain to talk to sb member the owner of the quarry about the stockpile that is pressing the bamboo fence inwards the house, the bamboo fence is only 1 meter from the house.
Another neighbor born a child a few days ago. I'm just concerned because the truck that unloads stones behind the house produces loud noise.
