It also would list frac-sand <br />mining as a conditional use in areas zoned for agriculture with the <br />intention to "give local officials an opportunity to negotiate conditions <br />for operation of a mine." <br />Source: River Falls Journal; www.riverfallsiournal.com <br />12 © 2013 Thomson Reuters <br />
