Mr. William E. Corson

William E. Corson, President of Allan B. Myers who owns and operates both Devault Crushed Stone and Great Valley Materials, expressed his interest in working on solutions together with residents.He stated that Mr. Ressitor toured the quarry and Vibratech will make recommendations and provide a cost estimate on January 26th.After this information has been received, they will work with the Board on solutions.He noted that they've made progress on the lessening the effect of back up alarms as much as possible while remaining within MOSHA and OSHA guidelines.Strobe lights are used whenever possible, and the sound alarms have been changed to a less irritating volume and pitch.He invited any interested residents to tour the facility.A resident complained that the trucks coming in and out of the quarry speed and often don't cover their loads.He noted that this is the case with the independent trucks and not the quarry's trucks.Mr. Corson stated that they have no control over these trucks.
...
Mr. Corson stated that their agreement with the township outlines the work permitted during night hours, and that they remain within its parameters and decibel levels proscribed.Mrs. Ewald suggested reviewing procedures at the quarry to see if louder activities can be scheduled in the evening hours, for example, between 6:00 and 8:00 P.M., and Mr. Corson agreed to look into it.
...
Mr. Corson further noted that the Great Valley Materials operation has no restriction on hours of operation, and people may be hearing this noise at night and thinking it comes from the quarry.
...
Dr. Stewart also asked about a dampening system to control dust after blasting, and Mr. Corson responded that they're still looking into this but haven't found a solution as yet.
...
Mr. Corson recapped his intentions to work with Vibratech to develop a Vibra-map report; set specific times for blasts, and work toward reducing the number of blasts in a given period of time to possibly as few as twice a month instead of one to two times per week as is the current practice.
