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 305,204 tons (231,035 limestone and 74,169
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.

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 107,834 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 2021. A seasonal
shutdown occurred between December 16th. 2020 and January 13th, 2021.
• 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 2021.
• Martin Marietta and Kingswood HOA representatives met via Zoom to discuss the
issues and concerns of the Kinqswood neighbors on March 2nd, 2021. 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 12 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 will be submitted as reviews are completed
during the 2022 calendar year.
