Document Description
NOTE: Extended per lead 11-23-09.
Granite proposes to develop and reclaim a new rock quarry that would ultimately have a footprint or ~155 acres and an access road of ~10 acres. Associated with the quarry will be an aggregate processing facility, 2 hot-mix asphalt plants, a ready mix concrete plant, a concrete/asphalt recycling facility, natural gas fueled engines for electric power generation, and ancillary buildings and facilities for administration, employees, maintenance, and fuel and water storage. Within the 414 acre site, ~250 acres will remain undisturbed and placed into conservation easements to act as buffers to the adjacent properties and to maintain the existing ridges to block views of the project. The Project will also include construction of off-site water and natural gas pipelines, an on-site paved entrance road, and an additional lane to the existing southbound off-ramp for the Rainbow Valley overpass.
