Where – The Project Site includes 724 acres in Metamora Township, Lapeer County, MI; 154 acres of this site are owned by American Aggregates of Michigan (AAOM) and the remaining 570 acres are owned by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), and are under a lease agreement with AAOM.

How – Typical aggregate mining equipment will be utilized during the mining activity, including bucket loaders, transport trucks and conveyors. An aggregate processing plant will be constructed on the east side of the site. Mining activity is not expected to go below the water table on the site. The preparation of the land for mining will be done on an as-needed basis, leaving existing land cover in place until removal is required for mining activities. Similarly, reclamation will be completed on an on-going basis such that the area disturbed by mining at any one time will be limited to what is required for efficient, safe, and responsible operations. Mining and reclamation plans include mitigation measures to limit the impact of the mining activity on the community and natural environment.

At the completion of mining operations, site reclamation will result in range of land form types and habitats, and a land shape conducive to recreational and agricultural uses desired by the BSA.

When – The estimated extraction activity will take place in five distinct phases, which will be completed in approximately 30 years, subject to market conditions.
