Paragraphs 5, 7 and 8 hereof.

          Except as provided in Paragraphs 5, 7 and 8 hereof, the Option may not

at all times from date of grant of the Option, an employee of the Company or of

employment at any time in the Company's sole discretion, with or without cause.

          In the event that the Optionee shall cease to be employed for any

    6.  Investment Representation.  The Optionee shall make the following
representations and warranties upon the exercise of the Option; provided that
such representations and warranties shall not be required if, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, the issuance of such shares of Stock (the "Shares") is
pursuant to an applicable effective registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act"):

          a.   The Shares are being acquired by the undersigned for his personal
               account for investment purposes only, not for the benefit of any
               other person and not with a view to, or in connection with, any
               proposed offering, distribution, resale or disposition of the
               Shares, or any part thereof.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          b.   He has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of
               all or any part of the Shares, that his economic circumstances
               are such that he can assume all risks of the investment in the
               Shares and that he does not now anticipate any need to sell the
               Shares in order to utilize the proceeds therefrom.

          c.   He is a sophisticated investor having full access to all
               information and records pertaining to the Company, is
               knowledgeable with respect to and has experience in financial
               matters, has made such independent investigations into the
               Company as he deems necessary, is thoroughly familiar with the
               financial condition and business of the Company and is not
               relying on any representations or warranties of the Company or
               its representatives in connection with the acquisition of the
               Shares.

          d.   Before any disposition is made of the Shares, or any part
               thereof, by sale, gift, pledge or otherwise, the undersigned will
               deliver to the Company written notice describing briefly the
               manner of such proposed disposition.  No such disposition shall
               be made unless and until (i) the undersigned shall have furnished
               to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance
               satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that
               such proposed disposition does not require registration pursuant
               to the Act, and the Company shall have advised the undersigned in
               writing that such opinion of counsel is satisfactory to the
               Company and its counsel, or (ii) an appropriate registration
               statement with respect to the Shares shall have been declared
               effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
               "Commission").

          e.   He has been informed that the Shares are not registered under the
               Act and that the Shares must be held by the undersigned
               indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the
               Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

          f.   He understands that, if Rule 144 under the Act ("Rule 144") is
               available with regard to the Shares at any time, any sales
               pursuant to Rule 144 can only be made in full compliance with all
               of the provisions of Rule 144.

          g.   He agrees that the certificate(s) representing the Shares shall
               bear a restrictive legend on the face or reverse side thereof,
               which shall read substantially as follows:

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

               The Shares evidenced by this certificate have not been registered
               under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and
               must be held indefinitely unless they are transferred or sold or
               offered for sale pursuant to an effective registration statement
               under the Act, or after receipt of an opinion of counsel
               satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not
               required.

          h.   He understands that the transfer agent for the common stock of
               the Company has been, or will be, directed to place a stop-
               transfer order against the transfer of the Shares on the records
               of the Company, and the undersigned agrees that no removal of the
               stop-transfer order referred to herein, and no offer, sale or
               other disposition of the Shares covered hereby shall be made
               unless and until the undersigned shall have complied in full with
               the requirements of this instrument.

    7.  Death of Optionee.  If the Optionee shall die while in the employ of the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company, his estate, personal representative, or
beneficiary shall have the right, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3
hereof, to exercise the Option (to the extent that the Optionee would have been
entitled to do so at the date of his death) at any time within one (1) year from
the date of his death.

    8.  Termination of Option.  In the event of the institution of any legal
proceedings directed to the validity of the plan pursuant to which the Option is
granted, or to any option granted under it, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, and without incurring any liability therefor to any Optionee,
terminate the Option.

    9.  Stock Splits, Mergers, etc.  In case of any stock split, stock dividend
or similar transactions which increases or decreases the number of outstanding
shares of the Stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be final, to the number of shares which may
be purchased under the plan and the number and option exercise price per share
of Stock which may be purchased under any outstanding options.  In the

                                      -5-

case of a merger, sale of assets or similar transaction which results in a
replacement of the Company's Stock with stock of another corporation, the
Company will make a reasonable effort, but shall not be required, to replace any
outstanding Options with comparable options to purchase the stock of such other
corporation, or will provide for immediate maturity of all outstanding options,
with all options not being exercised within the time period specified by the
Board of Directors being terminated.

    10.  Method of Exercising Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the

     SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ --U.S. Aggregates, Inc. (NYSE:AGA),
a  leading producer of aggregates, today announced that following a strong first
half,  U.S.  Aggregates,  Inc. is experiencing some slow down in demand and cost
increases (especially energy and fuel prices), which will have a negative impact
on  the  Company's  results  for  the  second  half  and  full fiscal year 2000.

     While the Company expects that volumes for processed aggregates, as well as
its flow through products, asphalt and ready mix, will experience increases over
1999  levels, the amount of increases will be lower than originally anticipated.
For the full fiscal year 2000, total processed aggregate volumes are expected to
increase  11%.  This  includes  the new Pride Quarry, which came on line in late
1999. Asphalt volumes are projected to increase 4% over 1999. Ready mix concrete
volumes  are  also  projected  to  increase  4%, after adjusting for the sale of
Birmingham  Ready  Mix,  which  occurred  in  April  2000.

Revised  Management  Expectations  for  2000
--------------------------------------------

     While  year  over  year  volumes  are up versus 1999, the Company's current
volume forecast represents a decline from management's original expectations for
the  year.  Total  processed  aggregates  are  expected  to  be  3%  lower  than
management's original expectation, but volumes for the year should approach 18.5
million  tons.  Management  expects asphalt volumes to be 7% lower than original
expectations  and  ready mix concrete 3% lower (after adjustment for the sale of
Birmingham  Ready  Mix). Current projections are that total shipments of asphalt
will  be  2.3  million tons and total shipments of ready mix will be 1.7 million
cu.  yds.  These  volume  revisions in ready mix concrete and asphalt versus our
original  objective  for  the  year  are  primarily  due to the effect of higher
interest  rates,  which  affect  new  construction  and rising oil prices, which
impact  the  demand  for  asphalt. Liquid asphalt costs are forecasted to be 55%
higher  in  the  last  half  of  2000  than  in the last half of the prior year.

     The  Company is also experiencing substantial increases in energy costs and
fuel  prices,  which it has been unable to fully pass on to its customers due to
increasing competitive pressures. The Company estimates that its combined energy
and  fuel  costs  incurred in the production and delivery of aggregates, asphalt
and  concrete in full fiscal year of 2000 will increase approximately $4 million
over  1999.  Management expects to partially compensate for these cost increases
through  improved  efficiencies,  particularly  in  the  aggregate  operations.

     Somewhat offsetting the downward revision of estimated volumes and variable
cost  increases,  are lower sales and administrative expenses, which the Company
estimates  will  decline  $2.5  million  from  management's  original  forecast.

     As  a  result  of  both  lower than anticipated volume increases as well as
significantly  higher  energy  costs,  management  currently estimates full year
fully  diluted  earnings  per  share  will  be  approximately  $1.14.

     The  Company also announced that it hired Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown earlier
this  year to assist the Company in a review of strategic alternatives including
the  possible  sale  of  part  or  all  of  the  business.

     "Consolidation continues to be an important theme impacting our industry",
said  James  A.  Harris,  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Just as we have
developed  our  business  to date through a series of complementary acquisitions
and asset purchases, we are likewise considering a partner to allow our business
to develop to the next level."  The Company has had preliminary discussions with
several  potential  parties, although no agreement has been reached and there is
no  assurance  that  a  transaction  will  be  accomplished.

     Founded  in  1994, U.S. Aggregates, Inc. ("USAI") is a leading producer of
aggregates.  Aggregates consist of crushed stone, sand and gravel. The Company's
products  are  used  primarily  for construction and maintenance of highways and
other  infrastructure  projects  as  well  as  for  commercial  and  residential
construction.  USAI  serves  local  markets  in  nine states in two fast growing
regions of the U.S., the Mountain states and the Southeast. For more information
on U.S. Aggregates please visit the Company's Web site at www.usaggregates.com.

     Certain  matters  discussed  in  this  release  contain  forward-looking
statements  and  information based on management's belief as well as assumptions
made  by  and information currently available to management. Such statements are
subject  to risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, among other matters,
future  growth  in  the construction industry; the ability of U.S. Aggregates to
complete  acquisitions  and  effective  integration  of  acquired  companies
operations;  successful  implementation  of strategic business alternatives; and
general  risks  related to the markets in which U.S. Aggregates operates. Should
one  or  more of these risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those projected. Additional
information regarding these risk factors and other uncertainties may be found in
the  Company's  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.
