Vulcan Materials Company is committed to Kendall County and our neighbors as we work to help meet local market need while helping keep local construction and infrastructure costs as low as possible.
We are actively working to build and sustain long-term relationships to benefit the quality of life of our neighbors and future generations.
As we work to improve Lisbon Quarry, you'll have the opportunity to get to know us as a neighbor and local employer and see how we carry out this commitment.
The proposed Kendall County Quarry will help meet the local economy's demand for additional cost-effective and reliable aggregate production from within the county.
From 2000 to 2006, the County population grew 61.7% - the 2nd fastest growth rate nationally. The most recent Prairie Parkway study shows 240% growth between 2000 and 2030.
As the County economy grows, demand for high-quality aggregate to build houses, businesses and community infrastructure will grow.
Quarries serving Kendall County have already shown signs of struggling to have production capacity keep pace with construction demands of the local economy.
The Kendall County Quarry will utilize modern blasting products, technologies and practices to ensure everyone's safety and minimize any potential impact on our neighbors.
Our ground vibration monitoring program and standard blasting practices are more stringent than state regulations.
We will offer free structural inspections of homes within 1.5 miles before we begin mining. [Note: We developed and implemented the first such program for neighbors of our Lisbon quarry.]
Development and production shots last 1-1.5 seconds each. In years 1-5 development shots will generally occur 1-2x per day, up to 5 days/week (typically on weekdays).
In years 6+ production shots are expected to decrease to 1-2x per week.
The Kendall County Quarry will deploy the latest technology and best practices to monitor area groundwater.
We will maintain a comprehensive groundwater monitoring program to track any changes in the water table.
We will offer free domestic well inspections to homes within 1.5 miles before we begin mining.
The existing ground water table is 30-70 feet below surface across the site.
Groundwater cone of depression (impact) when completely mined in 60+ years is expected to be 10 feet at a distance of 1+ miles.
Mining is a temporary land use.
Mixed uses of recreation (play spaces, pond), office and retail/ commercial are proposed.
