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 478,337 tons (350,696 limestone and 141,302
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 new office and employee building was opened in April of 2020 along with a new
entrance along Gray Rd.
• 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 456,862 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 2020. A seasonal shutdown occurred
between February 11th and February 25th, 2020.
• 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 2020.
• Martin Marietta and Kingswood HOA representatives met to discuss the issues and
concerns of the Kinqswood neighbors on March 11th, 2020. 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 26, 2021
