Memo to PCPC <br />Re SUP' No. 1999.-002 <br />September 13, 1999 <br />Page 17 <br />100 fe-t easterly of the tracks). Proposed rail access will be from a .rail spur to connect <br />with the main-lines'/ mile south of the Lime Road crossing. <br />Traffic impacts are identified as including employee traffic, `traffic from delivery of raw <br />materials. and other equipment by truck and rail, and traffic from shipping cement' <br />product by truck and rail: <br />Employee Traffic <br />During a typical work week of Monday through Friday, a work force of around 90 <br />full time employees will be distributed among three shifts per day. Approximately <br />60 employees will be Day Shift, 20 will work Swing Shift, and 10 will work the <br />Graveyard Shift. It is estimated that peak traffic. times. will occur from 6:30 to <br />8:00 a.m. as Graveyard and Day Shift employees enter and leave (70 vehicle - <br />impact equivalent) and between 3:30 to 5;00 p.m. as Day Shift and Swing Shift' <br />employees enter and leave, (80 vehicle impact equivalent). Weekend traffic will <br />be significantly reduced from weekday levels. <br />Rail and Truck Traffic from Raw Materials Delivery <br />Raw materials willbe delivered by truck and rail at a consistent` rate throughout <br />the production year.. At maximum production, projected material deliveries <br />include 134,000 tons of material per year by truck.and 170,000 tons per year by <br />rail.. The impacts are equivalent to 4,800 haul trucks (at 28 tons per truck) and <br />1,700 rail cars (at 100 tons per railcar). Truck deliveries will occur during-the <br />normal business week and day (Monday through Friday and 7AM to 5PM), which <br />results.in an average of two trucks per hour delivering raw materials. Rail <br />deliveries will average 142 railcars per month and may arrive at any time during <br />a hventy-four hour period. <br />Rail and Truck Traffic from Cement Product Shipping <br />The Analysis reports that approximately 28% of annual production will. be <br />shipped from the facility by truck and 72% by rail. Based on annual production <br />of 1,000,000 tons.of cement,this equates to 2.78,000 tons shipped by truck and <br />722,000 tons shipped by rail. 'It is .expected that a seasonal variation will impact <br />the pattern of shipments. The least amounts of product will.be shipped in <br />January and February: Shipments increase in March and peak during April, <br />May, and June.. Shipments back off in July and. remain consistent till October.
