The volume of material being <br />mined, processed and sold at the Elk River facility is expected be consistent with <br />recent past years. The only change being requested is in the operating hours for <br />mining and processing activities. <br /> <br />Tiller Corporation and its operating division Barton Sand & Gravel Co. operate <br />facilities in the city of Elk River and Livonia Township. Currently, the Elk River site <br />produces mainly washed concrete aggregates while the Livonia site produces mostly <br />bituminous aggregates. Each facility has similar crushing and processing equipment <br />and each site operates 45 to 50 hours per week (one shift) during the entire minin,g <br />season. <br /> <br />We are proposing operational changes at these facilities to increase efficiency and <br />equipment use. Instead of mining and processing with one shift at both locations for <br />the entire season, we intend mine and process for first half of the season at one <br />facility utilizing two shifts and then move the equipment an.d crews to the other <br />facility for the second half of the season. Anticipated scheduling has us starting in <br />Elk River around mid March (weather permitting) and completing the year's <br />production around mid July. We would then move to Livonia and operate until the <br />end of the season in mid to late November. Operating hours would be <br />approximately 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (two shifts) Monday through Friday. These <br /> <br />This Company is an Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
