<br />TRUCK MOVEMENTS/MATERIAL MOVEMENT <br />Historically, the significant trucking activity commences late spring, <br />around May and escalates and intensifies through the summer and fall; <br />tailing off and diminishing by the end of November. This repetitive <br />pattern is influenced by the economy and its relationship to work load and, <br />of course, the weather. This past year, as previously addressed, saw a <br />downturn in activity. This downturn had a direct bearing on our trucking, <br />relating to the quantity of material delivered. <br />Keeping in mind the above with regard to truck movements, little is done to <br />alter the normal truck traffic flow when the total truck traffic impact is <br />minimal. However, when trucks "BUNCH" leaving the quarry during peak <br />traffic periods between 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., <br />they are specifically routed (split north and south) to minimize traffic <br />impact, especially during school days involving school bus loading and <br />unloading. <br />As a matter of policy, trucks are split north and south on Highway 93 <br />during peak trucking periods as noted above, in an effort to mitigate total <br />impact to traffic in the area. It should be noted, however, that as a <br />result of the upgrades and improvements to Highway 93 previously addressed, <br />our truck traffic has had little impact on the present traffic flow using <br />the highway. <br />As a matter of course, the normal split on trucking reflects 757. of the <br />trucks going south from the quarry and 257. going north. This is consistent <br />with the parameters set forth by the Board of Adjustment in our Resolution. <br />As material requirements change, so goes trucking. There have been heavy <br />trucking days as well as light trucking days. Assuming a mean hauling day <br />of about 1300 tons, there have been days reflecting 750 tons of material <br />moved and there have been days reflecting 3000 tons of material moved. It <br />should be noted that Asphalt Paving Co. did not receive a single complaint <br />regarding truck intensity, regardless of whether we moved a littler <br />material or a lot, this past year. <br />• <br />
