Calcium carbonate, found in Georgia’s northern subsurface mines, plays a key role in a wide range of products, from antacids and chalk to organic produce preservatives and swimming pool chemicals.

Every single acre of land that is mined in Georgia is required to be reclaimed under Georgia's Surface Mining Act. Thousands of acres in Georgia have been reclaimed and repurposed for agriculture, forestry, recreation, and more!
