A Limestone County judge has ordered the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to extend the public comment period about a proposed rock quarry in Belle Mina.

The comment period was to have ended Friday as ADEM considers granting air pollution and water quality permits for the quarry. But Limestone County Circuit Judge Matthew Huggins granted a stay Friday with Mitchell Frazier Farms’ request for relief in the case.
