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 652,852 tons (641,566 limestone and 11,286
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 - 05010021 SU
• Mining activity on Mueller North consisted of 0 tons in 2022.
• The Carmel Sand Plant primarily operated five, 10 hour production shifts Monday through
Friday and 6 hour production shifts on Saturday during 2022. A seasonal shutdown
occurred between January 23rd, 2022 and February 6th, 2022.
• Customer service hours were 7am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday and 8am to 12pm on
Saturday during the loading season.
• The berm located near the Northern part of the property was relocated and seeded in 2013.
No additional seeding was needed from 2015 through 2022.
• Martin Marietta and Kingswood HOA representatives met to discuss the issues and
concerns of the Kingswood neighbors on December 2nd, 2022. 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 2023 calendar year.
If you require additional information feel free to contact me at 317-428-5206.
