RE: Annual Report Letter
Dear Mr. Hollibaugh:
The following items are included with the submission of our annual report:
• An updated aerial photograph to serve as a mining progress report map.
Mueller Property South - 04040024SU, 05090003SU, 08030032SU, 05090003SU
• Mining activity on Mueller South consisted of 227,077 tons (122,933 limestone and
104,144 sand), which was used as raw material feed.
• The Blue Woods Creek relocation is working as designed and is being monitored by State and
local agencies. The Corps of Engineers released the project from additional mitigation monitoring
in October 2015.
• The North Indianapolis site continues to employ a contractor to provide street sweeping at least
twice daily in and around the entrance area of the 96th Street site. When sales volumes increase
during the busy construction season Martin Marietta increases sweeping to four times per day,
and more as conditions warrant. The plant purchased a rotary broom sweeper to maintain in-plant
roadways. Additional sweeping was added along Gray Rd. on an as needed basis. A wheel wash
was constructed during November 2018 and began operation in spring of 2019.
• The caution signals installed along 106th Street to provide additional safety during times of
transporting material from the Mueller South property are functioning and inspected once a month.
• The blasting program at North Indianapolis has been continuously refined through a cooperative
effort with Vibra-Tech, Austin Powder, and Martin Marietta. Changes in blast sequencing,
increased burden on the front row holes, and smaller shot sizes are all part of the effort to
minimize blasting noise and neighbor disturbance. Underground blasting has moved to the South
on Martin Marietta property. The surface mine is progressing North on Martin Marietta property
and Mueller South Limestone.
• A gate and landscaping was installed on the Mueller South property during April 2010. The gate
was installed on the 106th Street entrance to prevent motorists from accessing Blue Woods Creek.
Trees and boulders were installed to improve the aesthetics of the entrance and to prevent the
public from driving around the newly installed gate.

Mueller Property North - 05010021SU
• Mining activity on Mueller North consisted of 422,853 tons, which was used as raw
material feed.
• The Carmel Sand Plant primarily operated five 10 hour production shifts Monday through Friday
and 6 hour production shifts on Saturday during 2019. A seasonal shutdown occurred between
January 1 and February 15, 2019.
• Customer service hours were 7am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday and 8am to 12pm on
Saturday during the loading season.
• Mine progression on Mueller Property North has resumed adjacent to the Kingswood
neighborhood.
• The berm located near the Northern part of the property was relocated and seeded in 2013. No
additional seeding was needed from 2015 through 2019.
• Martin Marietta and Kingswood HOA representatives met to discuss the issues and concerns of
the Kingswood neighbors on February 27th, 2019. The discussions were productive, and
strengthened the communication channels and understanding between all parties. The
relationship between Kingswood and Martin Marietta remains open and positive.
Mueller Property South & Mueller Property North
• Groundwater and surface water monitoring have been ongoing on the Mueller properties since
2003 based on the monitoring plan prepared by Aqua Fusion. Quarterly reports summarizing
water elevations and annual reports summarizing both water elevations and water quality
sampling results are submitted to the Mr. John Duffy. Currently 13 wells, four groundwater
sources (three lakes and Blue Woods Creek) are monitored.
• Updates to the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plans for the North Indianapolis
and Carmel Sand operations were submitted to the agencies designated in the Commitments
on February 28, 2020
