Cantonment Company Seeks Temporary Concrete Crushing Permit
February 14, 2023
A local construction company has applied for a 14-day temporary concrete crushing permit at their business.
Chavers Construction has applied for the permit for 14 consecutive working days on their property at 801 Virecent Road in Cantonment.
Concrete material that has accumulated on the property over the last couple of years will be crushed on-site. The material will then be re-used as base material for Chavers’ own parking lot and road projects and not be sold or open to the public for sale.
The concrete will be crushed by Sunbelt Crushing between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday in a central location on the 18-acre property well behind the Chavers Construction office to minimize any outside impacts. The pile will be sprinkled with water during the operation to minimize any dust, and silt fencing will be used on all downhill slopes. The crushing location will not be visible from any road.
The Escambia County Commission will consider the temporary permit at their meeting on February 16.

Don’t forget there are many that work shift work out here in Cottage Hill. Work 12 hours all night and try to sleep during the ‘crushing’ hours mentioned.
@love comp:
No way in he!! Is that not going to cast dust into the neighboring houses and schools. Will EPA test for asbestos before hand and during the process.
NO TO PERMIT,, MAIN CONCERN IS THE SCHOOL
Can anyone come and get any before you disperse it? A few bags ?
@Mike Adams
Did you even read the article before commenting?
It literally says “The pile will be sprinkled with water to minimize any dust and silt fencing will be used on all downhill slopes”. Takes care of dust and any potential silted water runoff.
Please, please No. Air quality is very poor as it is now. Elementary school across the street, horse stables,farm land etc.
I hope they stick to those hours since they operate in a residential neighborhood.
