We present below the most representative limestone extraction areas in Portugal where some of the most important limestones are extracted Moca Creme Moleanos Rosal and others Located in the border of Serra D´Aire e Candeeiros and next door to the Moleanos quarries the Ataija area has few quarries that extract the Ataija Creme and
Limestone is a fundamental raw material in various industrial sectors It is formed due to biochemical precipitation of calcium carbonate and further compaction over long periods of time Sinkholes created by quarrying can intercept surface water flow Conversely groundwater being pumped from quarries changes streams from gaining streams
Not only is it situated within a major load center EQPS utilizes an abandoned limestone quarry with both surface and underground mine works that can be used as pumped storage reservoirs with low environmental impact and cost as compared to other pumped storage alternatives in the region The site is also located adjacent to a transmission line

Existence of groundwater in mine sites potentially causes slope stability problems [12] In Japan for example there have been several rock slope failures in the limestone quarries partly attributed to groundwater [13] In recent years the flow and potentiometric level of groundwater are two of the most important factors affecting the stability of rock slopes [14] [15]
Our local quarries Goldholme operate 2 of the biggest limestone quarries in the UK The first of these is in Ancaster Lincolnshire and provides our Lincolnshire limestones such as oolitic limestone and Ancaster hard white Our Hooby Lane quarry a local quarry near Stretton Rutland taps into the Clipsham limestone outcrop This quarry provides quarry stone
