<br /> <br />TRUCK MOVEMENTS/MATERIAL MOVGMBNT <br />Historically, the significant trucking activity commences late spring, around May <br />and escalates and intensifies through the summer and fall; tailing off and diminishing <br />by the end of November. This repetitive pattern is influenced by the economy and <br />its relationship to work load and, of course, the weather. This past year, as <br />previously addressed, saw a downturn in activity. This downturn lead a direct bearing <br />on our trucking, relating to the quantity of material delivered. <br />Keeping in mind the above with regard to truck movements, little is done to alter <br />the normal truck traffic flow when the total truck traffic impact is minimal. <br />However, when trucks "BUNCH" leaving the quarry during peak traffic periods between <br />7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., they are specifically routed <br />(split north and south) to minimize traffic impact, especially during school days <br />involving school bus loading and unloading. <br />As a matter of policy, trucks are split north and south on Highway 93 during peak <br />trucking periods as noted above, in an effort to mitigate total impact to traffic <br />in the area. IC should be noted, however, that as a result of the upgrades and <br />improvements to Highway 93 previously addressed, our truck Craffic has had little <br />impact on the present traffic flow using the highway. <br />As a matter of course, the normal split on trucking reflects 75:~ of the trucks <br />going south from the quarry and 257 going north. This is consistent with the <br />parameters set forth by the Board of Adjustment in our Resolution. <br />As material requirements change, so goes trucking. There have been Heavy trucking <br />days as well as light trucking days. Assuming a mean hauling day of about 1300 <br />tons, there have been days reflecting 750 tons of material moved and there have <br />been days reflecting 3000 tons of material moved. It should be noted that AsphalC <br />Paving Co. did not receive a single complaint regarding truck in[entiity, regardless <br />of whether we moved a little material or a lot, this past year. <br />• <br />
