® construction, both of which are partially counterbalanced <br /> by a reasonably high level of redevelopment and remodeling <br /> activity. But, if yearly fluctuations are smoothed and a <br /> reasonably stable economic climate continues to prevail, <br /> gravel demand is likely to range between 1 . 8 and 2. 5 million <br /> tons per year even without significant growth, and half or <br /> more of that total might be used each year to maintain <br /> and upgrade present facilities . <br /> The sand and gravel from the Deepe Farm site will be used <br /> over a period of approximately 17 to 25 years and will <br /> represent a significant percent of the county 's annual <br /> consumption. The timing of the mining operation is dependent <br /> • upon four principal factors : <br /> 1. The amount of gravel to be mined from the site; <br /> 2. The total size of the market available to all <br /> processors in the area; <br /> 3. The portion of the total market served by the <br /> processor conducting the mining operation; <br /> 4 . The desired impact of the operation. <br /> If the site is to be mined, the maximum amount of gravel <br /> should be extracted. This is most efficient in terms of <br /> • production and planning and eliminates the need for future <br /> disturbances. This proposal covers mining of the entire <br /> site. The rate of mining at this site could be accelerated <br /> B-2 <br />
