The site is located on a flat about 750 feet west of South Alaska Road and about 1500 feet south of East Valley Center Road. South Alaska Road dead ends in the landowners yard. The plan calls for final reclamation of the pit to be achieved by the year 2003. The Plan of Operations calls for crushing to be conducted from 6 AM to 10 PM 7 days a week for approximately 1 month. Noise from the operation would have some impact on nearby landowners.
Backup alarms are particularly annoying but are required by safety regulations.
One residence near the pit is 500 feet northwest of the site perimeter, behind the cottonwood trees associated with both the Spain Ferris and Mammoth Fork Ditches. The trees would afford good relief from the noise. The plan calls for the soil berms and product stockpiles to be placed in the north and west portions of the site to block noise. The crusher and asphalt plant both would be over 1,000 feet away. Truck traffic along S. Alaska Road and East Cameron Bridge Road would also be noisy.
