Garden Ridge records show a request for a permit covering one year of blasting at Heidelberg Materials’ Servtex Quarry, but the available document does not establish whether the city approved it.
Buckley Powder Co. requested a partial-exemption permit for blasting from Oct. 1, 2026, through Sept. 30, 2027. The request also called for the Garden Ridge City Council to set an annual permit fee.
The preserved record is the agenda for the council’s Aug. 5 meeting. It proves the request was scheduled for possible action, not that a permit was issued. No minutes, vote record or approved permit accompanies the item in the evidence used for this report.
What the Permit Request Leaves Unanswered
The agenda names Buckley Powder Co. as the requester and Heidelberg Materials Servtex Quarry as the site. It does not state the proposed fee, expected number or timing of blasts, operating conditions, monitoring requirements or geographic limits of the requested exemption.
For residents near quarry operations, the most useful next record is the city’s vote and any permit conditions governing the coming Oct. 1-to-Sept. 30 term. Those documents would establish whether blasting was authorized and what restrictions, reporting duties or fees apply.
Until that record is available, the only verified development is that the yearlong partial-exemption request and annual permit fee were placed before the council. The agenda supplies no basis for describing future blasting as approved or scheduled.
