<br />Aggregate Industries - Elk River Plant <br />21700 Highway 169 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />(763) 441-3227 <br /> <br />Aggregate Industries operates its Elk River Plant to process raw material into commercial <br />aggregates. These aggregates are then incorporated into various products in the Twin Cities <br />metropolitan area and utilized for ready mix concrete, asphalt and the construction of highways <br />and buildings. Once extracted, the aggregate is transported to the plant via conveyor, where it is <br />crushed, washed sorted by size, stockpiled and transported off site via Highway 169. No <br />explosives are used at this location. The Elk River Plant operates from 6:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m., <br />with equipment maintenance being conducted from 2:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m., Monday through <br />Saturday. The traffic generated by the mining operation will continue at roughly the same <br />volume as the past several years and includes aggregate trucks hauling on Highway 169. <br /> <br />This Conditional Use Permit Amendment would expand the boundaries of our present mining <br />permit, enabling the Company to stockpile material on the parcel of property identified as 75-116- <br />4200. From time to time in 2007 or possibly in late 2006, a contract crushing operation would also <br />be brought onto this parcel of property. The expansion is within the area of the Environmental <br />Impact Statement of 1994. There are no changes in the processes or practices outlined in the <br />1994 EIS. <br />
