Five acres of land at the Hamm Eudora Quarry No. 68 will be reclaimed for storage, rather than be quarried, Douglas County commissioners unanimously agreed Wednesday at their weekly meeting.

In April 2014, the commission approved a plan that stated that once the current phase of quarrying was finished in the area, 1232 East 2300 Road, the plot would be reclaimed and seeded with grass. Now the 5-acre plot will be used as a storage area and not reclaimed until all quarrying on the property is finished.

Lawrence-Douglas County Planner Marry Miller said there have been comments on dusty road conditions, but the change approved Wednesday shouldn’t make the issue worse.

To help relieve dust problems, Miller said, the county will post signs prohibiting trucks weighing more than 5 tons along that stretch of East 2300 Road. A study will be conducted on the speeds of vehicles driving on North 1200 Road, reducing the speeds if necessary, Miller said. And portions of the road will be treated with a dust palliative to combat the issue.

Douglas County commissioners meet at 4 p.m. each Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The meetings are open to the public
