• iii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii • <br />999 <br />• TRUCK MOVEMENTS/MATERIAL MOVEMENT <br />Historically, the significant trucking activity commences late <br />spring, around May and escalates and intensifies through the <br />summer and fall; tailing off and diminishing by the end of <br />November. This repetitive pattern is influenced by the economy <br />and its relationship to work load and, of course, the weather. <br />This past year, as previously addressed, saw a continued sluggish <br />economy. This lack of activity had a direct bearing on our <br />trucking, relating to the quantity of material delivered. <br />Keeping in mind the above with regard to truck movements, little <br />is done to alter the normal truck traffic flow when the total <br />truck traffic impact is so minimal, However, when trucks "bunch" <br />leaving the quarry during peak traffic periods between 7:30 a.m. <br />to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., they are specifically <br />routed (split north and south) to minimize traffic impact, <br />especially during school days involving school bus loading and <br />unloading. <br />As a matter of policy, trucks are split north and south on <br />Highway 93 during peak trucking periods as noted above, in an <br />effort to mitigate total impact to traffic in the area. It <br />should be noted, however, that as a result of the upgrades and <br />improvements to Highway 93 previously addressed, our truck <br />• 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 75% <br />of the trucks going south from the quarry and 25°s going north. <br />This 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 <br />been heavy trucking days as well as light trucking days. <br />Assuming a mean hauling day of about 1300 tons, there have been <br />days reflecting 750 tons of material moved and there have been <br />days reflecting 4000 tons of material moved. It should be noted <br />that Asphalt Paving Co. did not receive a single complaint <br />regarding truck intensity, regardless of whether we moved a <br />little material or a lot, this past year. <br />• $ <br />
