NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) FOR THE

GRANITEROCK CAPITOL SITE MODERNIZATION PLAN PROJECT AND PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

Project Description: The project consists of a General Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning, and Planned Development Permit to facilitate proposed changes in operations at an existing Graniterock recycling, manufacturing, and distribution facility for aggregate, asphalt, concrete, and other construction materials. The project proposes an expansion of the current concrete plant, aggregate and other construction materials distribution facility, and recycle yard operations. The project also includes the addition of an asphalt plant and cementitious distribution facility. The existing equipment storage and maintenance yard would be removed from the site. In addition, the existing rail spur would be extended from a 25-railcar spur to accommodate 55 railcars with an increase in unloading capacity to 2,000 tons per hour. The expanded facility would operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Development of the project would also result in the removal of 47 on-site trees, 43 of which are ordinance-size trees.
