In addition to the current projects, listed below, the company operates two Rock Pits. These pit <br />operations, located on Redland Road, in Homestead, include all aspects and methods for open mine <br />excavation of limerock materials in the Dade County area. This pit operation was begun back in 1957 <br />by Redland Rock and has since passed on to the company. In the excavation of the limerock <br />materials, use of explosives have been used to break the underground rock materials; draglines, <br />owned by the company, are used to accomplish the excavation of the materials to a stockpile. Some <br />of this material is "crushed" for Baserock use in roadway construction, and some has been used for <br />raising elevation of several sites in the Homestead, Dade County area. In operating this pit, the <br />company has set -up and maintained a computerized Scale House for purposes of maintaining control <br />and determining billable materials moved. This is an on -going operation, expected to last for the next <br />two to three years. <br />The Company also maintains a pit operation at The Florida Power and Light Turkey Point Nuclear <br />Power Plant site. The materials excavated for the cooling canals at the plant site were placed in <br />stockpiles along the excavated canal. The Company has crushing, loading, hauling and scale house <br />operation set -up at this site. This is also an on -going operation which is expected to continue until <br />such time as all stockpiled materials are removed. <br />:7 <br />
