RE: Annual Report Letter
Dear Mr. Hollibaugh:
The following items are included with the submission of our annual report:
A copy of our updated SPCC Plans for Mueller North Mueller South properties (1)
An updated aerial photograph to serve as a mining progress report map.
Mueller Property South 04040024SU, 05090003SU, 08030032SU, 05090003SU
The mining activity on the Mueller South consisted of processing raw material into a back-
fill type product used primarily in the Keystone upgrade and the 1465 project. The amount
produced on -site was 344,000 tons.
The Blue Woods Creek relocation is working as designed and is being monitored by State
and local agencies.
The North Indianapolis site continues to employ a contractor to provide street sweeping
twice daily, in and around the entrance area of the 96 Street site. The plant purchased a
rotary broom sweeper to maintain in -plant roadways.
The caution signals that were installed along 106 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.
A, meeting between Martin Marietta and Kingswood homeowners to exchange information
and improve neighbor relations occurred in 2010.

Water quality and water elevation monitoring have been ongoing on the Mueller properties
since 2003 based on the monitoring plan prepared by AquaFusion. Quarterly reports
summarizing water elevations and annual reports summarizing 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 are being submitted to the agencies designated
in the Commitments with the submission of this annual report.
A gate and landscaping was installed on the Mueller South property during April 2010.
The gate was installed on the 106 St entrance to prevent motorist 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
The Carmel Sand Plant primarily operated six 10 hour production shifts Monday
through Saturday during 2010. Seasonal shutdown occurred 12/03/10.
Customer service hours were 7am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday and 8am to 12pm
on Saturday during the loading season. The only exception was to supply the 1465

Mine progression on Mueller Property North was not as significant as in past years.
The foucs of the mining occurred on Martin Marietta property where the "old" plant was
located.
