Columnist Garri Raagmaa writes about concerns surrounding quarry development in the Vihula municipality of Estonia. Ten years prior, Raagmaa and students collaborated on development plans for the villages, noting existing anxieties regarding two proposed mines. Residents express apprehension about the term “mine,” often associating it with imagery of mining operations involving lamps, soot, and muddy footwear. The core issue in Vihula centers on the construction of a small quarry and a larger gravel quarry operated by Kivikandur OÜ. The smaller quarry previously caused friction within the community. The ongoing concern relates to Kivikandur OÜ’s acquisition of mining licenses, anticipated to conclude within the next few years.
