.~. <br /> <br />TRUCK MOVEMENTS/MATERIAL MOVEMENT <br />Historically, the significant trucking activity commences late <br />spring, around May and escalates and intensifies through the summer <br />and fall; tailing off and diminishing by the end of November. This <br />repetitive pattern is influenced by the economy and its <br />relationship to work load and, of course, the weather. This past <br />year saw improvement in our quarry workload. This escalated <br />activity had a direct bearing on our trucking, relating to the <br />quantity of material delivered. <br />Keeping in mind the above with regard to truck movements, little is <br />done to alter the normal truck traffic flow when the total truck <br />traffic impact is acceptable. However, when trucks "bunch' leaving <br />the quarry during peak traffic periods between 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 <br />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 <br />during school days involving school bus loading and unloading. <br />As a matter of policy, trucks are split north and south on Highway <br />93 during peak trucking periods as noted above, in an effort to <br />mitigate total impact to traffic in the area. It should be noted, <br />however, that as a result of the upgrades and improvements to <br />Highway 93 previously addressed, our truck traffic 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 758 of <br />the trucks going south from the quarry and 258 going north. This <br />is consistent with the parameters set forth by the Board of <br />Adjustment in our Resolution. <br />As material requirements change, so does trucking. There have been <br />heavy trucking days as well as light trucking days. Assuming a <br />mean hauling day of about 1300 tons, there have been days <br />reflecting 750 tons of material moved and there have been days <br />reflecting 4000 tons of material moved. It should be noted that <br />Asphalt Paving Co. did not receive a single complaint regarding <br />truck intensity, regardless of whether we moved a little material <br />or a lot, this past year. <br /> <br /> <br />
