Action to Enjoin Rock Quarry Ordinance

In Rogers Group, Inc. v. Fayetteville, No. 09-3915, an action seeking to prevent the enforcement of a city’s ordinance regulating rock quarries in or near the city’s corporate limits, the court affirmed a preliminary injunction in favor of plaintiffs where 1) the city’s statutory authority extended one mile beyond its corporate limits but only to abate a nuisance, and the quarry was not a nuisance per se under Arkansas law; and 2) plaintiffs established a likelihood of irreparable harm because any customers the quarry lost, if and when the ordinance went into effect, would be unlikely to return once the ordinance’s restrictions are lifted.
