1 WAS VERY PLEASED TO RIiCE1VE YOUR LETTER INDICATING THAT THE TOWN WAS WILLING
TO RECEND THEIR OBJECTION'f0 OUR 112 PERMIT IF WE WERE ABLE TO CLARIFY THE QUESTION
OF ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC THAT MAY BE CAUSED BY OUR PRESENCE IN THE QUARRY. WHEN WE
ARE WORKING IN THE QUARRI( MOST OF OUR HELP COMES IN ONE STATION WAGON AND / OR
PICK-UP, WHICH IS SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANY. WE USUALLY WILL HAVE ONE SEMI-TRUCK,
AND/OR ONE TEN-WHEELER FLAT- BED PER DAY.
WE DO NOT SELL STONE DIRECTLY TO THE CONSUMER FROM THESE QUARRIES ,WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF RIP-RAP WHICF;I WE OCCASIONALY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL FOR
THE USE OF LAKE DIKES OR DITCH FILL. THIS IS THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP
OF A RECLAMATION PROGRAP~t AND ALSO IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE STABLIZING OF
LAKE AND DITCH BANKS FOR'fHE PREVENTION OF FLOODING AND WASHING OF THESE
AREAS. THE SALE OF RIP-RAP FOR DITCH FILL WOULD RESULT IN FIVE TO TEN DUMP TRUCK
TRIPS PER DAY FOR A FEW DAYS OR A WEEK. WE USUALLY HAVE SUCH AN OCCASION ONCE
OR TWICE PER YEAR. THE HIGHLAND DITCH COMPANY IS ONE OF THE MAJOR USERS.
SOMETIMES WE WILL HAVI: A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL WHO WANTS RIP-RAP AND WE WILL
LOAD AND DELIVER IT ON OUFt OWN DUMP TRUCK WHICH CAN MAKE FROM THREE TO FIVE
LOADS PER DAY. MANY PEOPLE SAY WE HAVE MADE NO EFFORT FOR RECLAMATION, BUT
THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT TFIE REMOVAL OF THIS STONE IS THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT
STEP OF THAT PROCESS. WE ALSO USE THIS MATERIAL TO HELP REPAIR THE ROADS ON OUR
