by Kerry Clines | Contributing Editor PLANT PROFILE 14 AGGREGATES MANAGER / July 2016 Keep on Rockin' It, Baby S ome of you may have at- tended AGG1 in Nashville a few months ago, and you may have made it out to Rogers Group Inc.'s Rutherford Quarry for the NSSGA-sponsored tour of that operation. If you didn't go on the tour, you really missed out. This quarry is large, extremely busy, and quite strikingly beautiful from the front entrance to the bottom of the pit. "We try to keep things nice," says Travis McGaffee, area production man- ager for Rutherford Quarry and several other quarries in southeast Tennessee. "We keep things in good repair. When you drive into our operation, it looks clean and nice. I think we've got one of the nicest looking pits. I'm proud to show people this quarry." The limestone quarry was opened near Murfreesboro, Tenn., in 1985 by Stoneman, after which it passed through Lehigh Hanson's hands and was eventually acquired by Rogers Group in 2000. Since then, it has become one of the top aggregate producers in the area, mainly because of all the growth going on in that part of the state. Busy doesn't even begin to describe a typical day at Rutherford Quarry in southeastern Tennessee.
