SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) – Scotts Bluff County has asked a court to stop a company from mining sand and gravel near the North Platte River on the west side of Scottsbluff. The complaint was filed against Western Engineering, of Scottsbluff, and seeks a court order to halt the mining. The complaint says a county road has been damage.  The county says the mining is a permit violation because a conditional use permit for the mining expired in 1993. The county also says mining is not authorized on the property where it is occurring. A phone listed for Western Engineering was not in service Friday morning.
