7 AGGREGATES MANAGER August 2015 Wisconsin In mid-June, an 18-year-old woman from Apple- ton drowned in the Redgranite quarry. Wbay.com reports that police received a 911 call about a person swimming in the quarry who hadn't sur- faced. Divers found the body of Alaya HuaChee Lo approximately an hour later. The former quarry is now home to a 6-acre lake that's up to 163 feet deep, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Washington In June, golfers played the U.S. Open tournament at Chambers Bay Golf Course, the site of the former Steilacoom Plant. The former sand and gravel site was last owned by CalPortland and ceased operations in 2002. According to The Washington Post, a former county execu- tive pushed through the idea of reclaiming the 1,000-acre site as a golf course, specifi cally with the goal of attracting the golf tourna- ment. The course cost $20 million to construct and opened in 2007. A year later, it was awarded this year's U.S. Open tournament. Wisconsin Less than a month after denying a con- ditional-use permit for Yahara Materials to operate a quarry in Windsor, the town board voted 4-1 to reconsider the pro- posal. According to the DeForest Times- Tribune, town attorney Connie Anderson recommended the motion appear on the town board agenda. In her memo rec- ommending the motion, she wrote that "any vote on the (application's) merits occur after such time as the updated Comprehensive Plan has been approved by Dane County." According to the re- port, the permit request is expected to be heard in late August or September. New York The city of Lockport has retained an engineering fi rm to test its municipal water supply line to confi rm that the 110-year-old pipe- line can withstand blasting from a local quarry. The Buffalo News reports that its fi ndings will weigh heavily in the Common Council's decision on a permit request from Lafarge North America to expand its quarry by nearly 10 acres. A representative from the engineer- ing fi rm told city offi cials that it generally agrees with the scientifi c analysis performed by a fi rm retained by Lafarge. The fi rm plans to dig a couple of test pits to examine the exterior condition of the pipeline and to insert a remote-controlled television camera inside the line to check interior conditions. The city intends to make the operator pay for any repair costs on the line, as well as the 75 cents-per-1,000 gallons fee the city would have to pay the local water district for backup water.
