Has anyone noticed the huge dirt piles growing near the Lorton quarry? Where is it coming from? Is it from a secret tunnel leading out of DC?

That's why they often hide underground facilities near quarries - some place to put the massive amounts of spoil.

A quarry needs to remove the topsoil to expose the rock they intend to turn into crushed rock.
At certain times it becomes required to open a new area for production.

Fill dirt is a lucrative business. One dirt dump has 400+ truck of fill delivered daily at 60 dollars a load to dump. 1 guy counts the trucks and another in a bulldozer spreading the fill. What the fuck do you think they do with the massive amounts of dirt construction sites have to get rid of dumb ass? Think they reuse it on site? This is the shit a mouth breather does not think about. Probably going to fill the quarry with dirt to make millions idiot.

Imagine that. Drilling rocks from a quarry.
Even if you go down thier stupid tunnel theory, it really falls apart when the fact that it will be a water reservoir in the coming decades is exposed.
https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/news2/future-northern-virginia-reservoir-to-hold-17-billion-gallons-of-water/
Future Northern Virginia Reservoir to Hold 17 Billion Gallons of Water
Over the next 70 years, a rock quarry in Lorton will be transformed into a water storage reservoir. Talk about long-term planning.
Fairfax Water and Vulcan Materials Company recently signed an agreement that’s been in the works since 2000. It involves a phased conversion of Vulcan’s quarry to a Fairfax Water reservoir ultimately capable of holding up to 17 billion gallons of water, which is needed as our population will continue to grow.
“Between 2010 and 2040 the population served by Fairfax Water, including both retail and wholesale areas, will increase by over 650,000 residents and nearly 550,000 employees working in the area,” said Philip Allin, chairman of Fairfax Water.
Reservoir Plans
The reservoir will be developed in two stages:
By 2035: the northern part of the quarry will be transferred to Fairfax Water after quarry operations stop in that portion of the property;
By 2085: the remainder of the quarry will be transferred to Fairfax Water after quarry operations cease entirely.

If Fairfax City didn’t give away their reservoir to Loudoun for a few pennies to purchase meth for the mayor, they would have been a good position to make some money off the county's increasing water needs. It’s discouraging to live amongst people who enable such misconduct.

And if you weren't a dickhead that gets off on bullshit, you'd tell the truth.
I won't 'enable such misconduct'
Fact:
A mayor can't just make such a decision. It also takes the Fairfax City Council.
Actual truth from a credible source:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-state-of-nova/post/fairfax-city-ready-to-join-fairfax-countys-water-utility-county-water-wars-may-be-near-an-end/2013/02/25/c5cda150-7fa3-11e2-8074-b26a871b165a_blog.html?utm_term=.01fbb5fda725
Fairfax City was in a tough spot. Its 50-year-old treatment plant in Ashburn and 23-mile transmission pipe to Fairfax City need a $45 million upgrade, which would require a bond referendum, at additional cost to its customers. In 20 years, the plant would need to be replaced, at a further cost of an estimated $84 million.
At present, Fairfax City is charging its residential customers $4.61 per 1,000 gallons, compared to Fairfax Water’s rate of $2.51. At an estimated use of 100,000 gallons per year, that’s $461 for city residents and $251 for county residents. With annual cost increases of seven percent plus the bond issue, the city’s annual cost was estimated to rise to $894 per residential customer, versus about $340 for Fairfax Water.
In addition, Fairfax Water has already upgraded its treatment facilities, and any further costs would be spread over a much larger customer base than Fairfax City’s 11,500, of which about 1,300 are commercial users. "This is putting money back in people’s pockets," city Councilman Dan Drummond said, "with cheaper, higher quality water and with more certainty in the future." He said it was equivalent to a 10-cent reduction in the real estate tax.

So at this point all of Fairfax City's water comes from the Rock Creek in D.C.?

Can't tell if you're joking or not?
It comes from Fairfax Water - Potomac River Corbalis Intake that goes through Trump Golf Course.
