Mr. Caldwell stated that he proposed to move one of his ready mix batch plants to the property located on Strang Road at 146 and 225. • There will be a small building (app. 10'x20') which will be a control room and another small building (app. 10'x20') which will contain cement additives and a restroom. • There will also be a silo for cement and another one for flash (a cementitious material that is a by product from power plants). • A front end loader will be used to transfer wash sand .and gravel from stockpiles. The sand and gravel will come from the Victoria area to Sims Bayou by barge and will be trucked the rest of the way. • The Air Control Board has given their approval, however, the stockpiles must be wet down occasionally for the products to remain damp in an effort to minimize dust. • The cement will be transferred into the silos by pneumatic trucks so the cement is not exposed to the air. • On the top of the silos there will be large dust collectors to reduce emissions. • Their water supply will come from an existing well from Mr. Angel's property which is located directly across the road. • Aseptic system will be installed. • This is not expected to be a permanent location.
