Work is done at this site infrequently. PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Holliday Construction owns an aggregate processing pit near Bluff. Raw aggregate material mined from the walls of the quarry is fed into the crusher/screening circuit where it is separated according to size class. Material that is too large to pass through the screen is crushed in a crusher and re-routed through the screens. Separated aggregate is conveyed to various storage piles by stacking conveyors. A water truck is used to control dust in the yard and operational areas, and water sprays are used to control dust in the crusher/screening circuit. The aggregate operation is powered by a 400 kW diesel generator with an Oxy Catalyst. A wash plant is also present onsite. The wash plant and water pump were powered by a 180 kW diesel generator, which is no longer operational.

We have contacted Alliance to reschedule stack test, and the soonest availability is November L3,2023.|f anything opens up before that date they will let us know as soon as possible. I will call Shamit and let him know to give the 30 day protocol. The crusher broke down and we could not get anyone down to see what the matter was to get it fixed, all mechanics were booked out finally got one to come they had to get parts for it and could not get the parts and finally were able to find the part. So it looks like the crusher is running and will be able to get that test down. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do.
