The noise from the trucks could be a problem. The extended
haul hours will mean the average number of trucks leaving the pit
per hour can be reduced. The late night hauling will increase the
efficiency and reduce the actual number of truck units needed
because there will be less traffic on the roads. It will also
reduce the number of trucks on the road during peak traffic hours
in the morning and afternoon. The extended hauling hours would
run concurrent with the extended production hours and all late
night hauling would end no later than September 1, 1992.
we have discussed the problems associated with this short
time use above. We feel the economic benefits to Adams County
should also be taken into account as well. Not only will the
Airport benefit from the material but Adams County stands to gain
the taxes on the removed material, benefits from the increased
payroll for county citizens who drive the trucks and process the
gravel, a share of the 3.88 state tax collected on $5,000,000
worth of gravel and the road tax collected on the trucks using the
' roads. In addition Adams county stands to collect tax dollars
from services and products needed at the pit while this increased
production is going on, that may not have been needed if produc-
t tion were less. Adams County has all ready collected the sale tax
money on $2,000,000 worth of heavy equipment Aggregates, Inc.
purchased from county firms this year.

5. ITS EFFECT ON THE FOTORS DEVELOPMENT OF THS AREA.
Eventually the area west of Brighton Road will be developed
for various forms of open space and recreation. There is a finite
supply of gravel in this pit and the faster it is removed the
shorter the time before the final land use will be realized. The
increased production will actually reduce the life expectancy of
this pit. During a normal year 600,000 tons of material is mined
and sold at the pit. By mining 1.356 million tons by September
1st we will have removed a 2.26 years supply during this year
alone, which will result in almost a 208 reduction in the life of
the pit.

The present character of Brighton Road indicates the frontage
along the east will eventually develop as commercial and in-
dustrial with buffers of multi-family residential leading to
single-family dwellings. Again, this is far enough in the future
that this very limited use will not exist at that time.
ITS AFFECT ON THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE INHABITANTS OF
THE AREA AND THE CODNTY.
we are acutely aware of our neighbors in the area and operate
this facility in strict compliance with all County, State and
Federal laws regarding air and water pollution as well as other
health and safety standards, we want to be good neighbors. we
