To the Concerned Citizens of Ogden Valley:
Many rumors have been circulating the Valley about the PROPOSED rock crusher/cement plant. We would like correct the rumors and state the facts.
The rock crusher would be used to
recycle clean, non-contaminated dirt and rocks. This will NOT BE A GRAVEL PIT – NO MINING WILL BE DONE.
The crusher is not like the crusher that is seen at Rocky Point. Our crusher is small and portable. Our crusher can be loaded on a trailer and hauled off. Material would be hauled in and stockpiled. The crusher would be hauled in approximately every three months to process what has been stockpiled then it would be hauled off. Based on the size of the stockpiles it would take 2 to 4 weeks to process the material. The crusher would be used during the hours of 8 – 5, Monday through Friday.
We would recycle clean, non-reinforced cement, from driveways, curbs and gutters. This recycled material would be sold to the public by the yard. We would also take non-contaminated excess dirt and rocks that is scattered through out the valley and recycle it. This material could be used for clean, screened top soil. The rocks, based on size, would be used for landscaping. This material would also be sold to the public by the yard.
The cement plant is a very small U-Cart plant. This operation would be similar to Sandee’s Soil on 1900 West and Save-More products on Wall Avenue. There would be a couple of small towers, approximately 20 – 25 feet high. This would be a service to all citizens of Ogden Valley who need one to two yards of cement. This will NOT be a cement plant operation the size of Parsons or Granite Rock Products.
Also, a sound barrier, trees and a water system would be installed to help prevent noise and dust.
By recycling we are providing solutions for many concerned citizens. This will be a service to all Ogden Valley residents. This will help eliminate some, not all, trucks in Ogden Canyon. Provide quality product, i.e. crushed rock, landscape rocks, colorful rock, lava rock, top soil and a pour-a-yard which would be sold by the yard for a reasonable cost.
We are concerned citizens of the Valley as well. We are one of Ogden Valley’s largest employers with most of our employees living in the Valley. Doesn’t it make sense to have a local company provide this service and not a large company from outside the Valley? We are trying to help maintain the Valley’s beauty by providing this service.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at wedigourvalley@relia.net.
