Memo to PCPC <br /> Re: SUP No. 1999-002 <br /> June 9, 1999 <br /> Page 17 <br /> Rail and Truck Traffic from Raw Materials Delivery <br /> Raw materials will be delivered by truck and rail at a consistent rate throughout <br /> the production year. At maximum production, projected material deliveries <br /> include 134,000 tons of material per year by truck and 170,000 tons per year by <br /> rail. The impacts are equivalent to 4,800 haul trucks (at 28 tons per truck) and <br /> 1,700 rail cars (at 100 tons per railcar). Truck deliveries will occur during the <br /> normal business week and day (Monday through Friday and 7AM to 5PM), which <br /> results in an average of two trucks per hour delivering raw materials. Rail <br /> deliveries will average 142 railcars per month and may arrive at any time during <br /> a twenty-four hour period. <br /> Rail and Truck Traffic from Cement Product Shipping <br /> The Analysis reports that approximately 28% of annual production will be <br /> shipped from the facility by truck and 72% by rail. Based on annual production <br /> of 1,000,000 tons of cement, this equates to 278,000 tons shipped by truck and <br /> 722,000 tons shipped by rail. It is expected that a seasonal variation will impact <br /> the pattern of shipments. The least amounts of product will be shipped in <br /> January and February. Shipments increase in March and peak during April, <br /> May, and June. Shipments back off in July and remain consistent till October. <br /> Shipments in November and December tail off to a seasonal low again in <br /> January-February. <br /> The month of May is projected as having the largest volume of shipments with a <br /> volume of 28,000 tons of cement being shipped by truck and 73,000 tons being <br /> shipped by rail. Haul trucks will account for over 1,000 trips for the month at <br /> approximately 50 trucks per day. Rail traffic will amount to 639 railcars for the <br /> month averaging 21 railcars per day. <br /> Daily Average and Peak Vehicle Counts <br /> During peak shipping months, traffic counts along Lime Road will increase <br /> approximately 180 vehicles per day due to employees and 140 vehicles per day <br /> to truck shipments. Rail traffic will increase to 52 railcars per day. <br /> Summary <br /> There will be an increase in surface and rail traffic along Lime Road and its <br /> associated rail crossing. Daily surface counts of vehicular traffic on Lime Road <br />
