STATEMENT OF REQUEST 
 
For the past six years, Phoenix Cement has been conducting sand and gravel 
operations in the City of Glendale (“City”), on land near the confluence of the Agua Fria 
and New Rivers.  Phoenix Cement has gone about its business in accordance with a 
Special Use District (“SUD”) Overlay approved and later expanded by the City.  In addition 
to the oversight of the City, Phoenix Cement has done its work with the approval and 
oversight of the Federal Aviation Administration, the Arizona State Department of Mines, 
the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), and Maricopa County.  During 
this time, despite the industrial and outdoor nature of its business, Phoenix Cement has 
operated peacefully and without incident, gathering no attention whatsoever from its 
neighbors or any Glendale citizens.   
Phoenix Cement’s work has been a beneficial success for both itself and the 
community.  In the short term, Phoenix Cement has been a useful provider of resources 
in the local marketplace because of its advantageous infill location.  This geographically 
central worksite reduces hauling costs for customers throughout the City and West Valley.  
In the long term, Phoenix Cement’s work at this site where two Rivers meet is 
transforming silty soils with no immediate urban utility into more viable development sites 
for the future.   
Because of its success as a neighbor and a business, Phoenix Cement recently 
bought 215 acres (the “Site”) from its prior landlord, covering both its current 160 acre 
operation site and an additional 55 acres.  The additional 55 acres is located immediately 
to the north of the existing SUD footprint, stretching all the way to Glendale Avenue.  With 
this proposal, Phoenix Cement is now requesting a second expansion of the existing SUD 
to encompass the additional 55 acres, pursuant to Section 6.504.C of the City Zoning 
Ordinance.  See Exhibit A.  As with the prior expansion approval, this request also seeks 
an additional five (5) year extension of the timeframe for mining activity.       
The City approved the original SUD Overlay on December 10, 2013, in Case No. 
ZON 13-05, on 99.3 acres of land zoned M-1.  That original SUD permitted the mining 
and extraction of sand and gravel for a period of fifteen (15) years, to 2028.  The City 
approved an Amendment to the SUD on November 22, 2016, in Case No. ZON 16-05, 
on an additional 60.6 acres of land zoned Planned Area Development, PAD, for a total 
SUD Overlay covering 159.9 acres.  That Amended SUD permits the mining and 
extraction of sand and gravel for a period of seventeen (17) years from the Amended 
approval, to 2033.  The SUD also allows the Site to function as an inert materials landfill, 
the category the City suggested to cover the important reclamation activity on the Site.  
The additional 55 acres proposed to be added by this Amendment also has underlying 
PAD zoning, and seeks a time period that would allow mining activity for a period of 
eighteen (18) years from the Amended approval, to 2038.   
In making this application, Phoenix Cement plans to seamlessly continue its 
unobtrusive business activities on the Site in a manner generally consistent with its 
performance since 2014.  That includes operations that are not visible or audible from

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020

adjacent public streets, the placement of processing activities in locations that are below 
grade, the use of off-street transportation routes where possible, continued compliance 
with ADEQ stormwater plans and permits and Maricopa County Air Quality permits, and 
the continued implementation of reclamation activities in accordance with the required 
Reclamation Plan on file with the State Department of Mines.  Phoenix Cement expects 
to complete its first area of reclamation on the Site in 2020.       
STATEMENT OF FINDINGS 
Consistency with the General Plan 
 
The General Plan designates the Site for Business Park (see Exhibit B).  The 
underlying PAD and M-1 zoning categories are consistent with the General Plan 
designation.  While the current mining operation is more of a Heavy Industry use, its 
operation is temporary and expressly limited by the terms of the SUD.  Further, the mining 
operation is essential to the physical development of the Site.  The Site currently is 
covered with a deep layer of silty soil that will not allow vertical construction – not 
surprising, given its proximity to the confluence of the riverbeds.  A 2008 study by Speedie 
and Associates, already on file with the City as part of the current SUD, indicated that the 
soil on the Site would need extensive, costly compacting treatment in order to be reliably 
buildable.  By reclaiming the land as it is mined, the mining activity is transforming the 
Site so that vertical construction will become viable.  The current underlying PAD and M-
1 zoning can then yield good, long-term employment opportunities for the City consistent 
with the General Plan designation of the Site.   
The General Plan encourages uses that support the nearby Luke Air Force and 
Airport operations, and uses which do not require extension of municipal services into the 
western portions of the City Planning Area.  The mining operation is a use which has a 
low employee density.  Low employee density uses make a good fit near airports for 
safety and noise reasons.  The operation has required no extension of municipal services.  
Temporary electrical power needs are available by nearby power lines.  Water is available 
via a nearby well and portable storage.  Wastewater needs are minimal due to the low 
employment density at the Site, especially compared to other types of non-residential 
uses.   
Compatibility to Existing/Planned Uses 
 
The 215 acre Site is compatible to nearby existing and planned uses.  The location 
of the Site is in a highly industrialized and relatively undeveloped area of the City (see 
Exhibit C).   
The Airport adjoins the Site to the east and southeast.  The City owns 
approximately 407 acres of Industrial (M-1) land where the airport sits.  Phoenix Cement 
has secured the relevant FAA approvals for its uses to date, and has operated without 
any impact on the Airport and its operations.  In addition, as detailed previously, the 
current mining activity is the physical foundation for the transformation of now vacant

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020

lands into business uses that will complement and enhance the long-term health of the 
Airport.   
The City West Area Water Reclamation Facility exists to the south.  It is on 80 
acres, with the actual plant occupying approximately 15 acres.  The Water Reclamation 
Facility and the Site are actually neighbors for the same geographical reason, the 
confluence of the New and Agua Fria Rivers.  Both facilities attempt to take advantage of 
unique opportunities created by the confluence.   
The property immediately to the west is an existing sand and gravel facility on 160 
acres located within unincorporated Maricopa County and operated by Gravel Resources.  
This facility is a heavy industrial use, and it is responsibly operated and maintained.  For 
example, the traffic generated by this existing facility has had no disproportionate or 
inappropriate impact on Glendale Avenue. That facility has generally operated in 
compliance with relevant air quality requirements; we are unaware of any Maricopa 
County air quality citations at that facility since we commenced our own operations.  
Nevertheless, that facility does not have berming, nor is it obligated to locate its batch 
processing below grade.  In other words, the Phoenix Cement operations are visually 
superior to its neighbor to the west.  This provides a direct illustration of the benefits 
Glendale realizes by having municipal authority over the Site.   
The City operates a landfill on approximately 388 acres north of the site across 
Glendale Avenue.  The landfill is another absolutely essential component of urban 
infrastructure.  Just as we need rock products to build our schools, shops, roads and 
communities, we need landfills to dispose of our waste in a centralized, properly managed 
location.  The City’s landfill provides precisely that service to its residents.  The City landfill 
is easily the dominant visual feature of the area, taller and more massive than any other 
object in the area, and visible for miles around.  In addition, while this Site will be 
reclaimed and eventually available for use as an airport business park, the landfill has an 
estimated life span to 2046 or beyond, and is much more restricted in how it can be 
reclaimed.  The landfill also produces methane and must be lined to protect the water 
table below.  Quite simply, the Site has an insignificant impact on the area in comparison 
to the equally necessary landfill.   
Luke Air Force Base, at over 1200 acres, is approximately three miles to the west 
of the Site.  The City Spring Training Facility for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago 
White Sox is approximately one-half of a mile to the southeast of the Site.  The large 
distance to these developments will adequately buffer these developments from the Site.  
No single family homes, homeowner associations, or neighborhood groups are 
near the Site.  The large expanse of adjacent industrial uses and the confluence of the 
intermittent Agua Fria and New River further south of the SUD buffer Phoenix Cement’s 
operations from residential uses.  In addition, all of the residential uses listed below are 
not in the City of Glendale.   
 The nearest existing residential development of Country Meadows Units 9 
and 10, in unincorporated Maricopa County, is more than half a mile away

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
4
to the northeast from the closest portion of the expanded Site, and is 
obviously much more significantly impacted by the Landfill.   
 Wigwam Creek North and Marabella Ranch, also both in unincorporated 
Maricopa County, are each one mile away to the west from the boundary of 
the existing Site, and are more significantly impacted by the less regulated 
Gravel Resources facility that lies on the immediate east bank of the Agua 
Fria Riverbed, as well as other sand and gravel operations along the west 
bank of the Agua Fria riverbed.   
 Thoroughbred Farms, in the City of Phoenix, is more than three-quarters of 
a mile to the southeast from the boundary of the Site, and is separated from 
the Site by the Airport and the New Riverbed.   
 The recently approved but unbuilt Camelback Ranch subdivision, also in 
the City of Phoenix, is also more than one-half of a mile to the southeast 
from the closest portion of the Site.   
 The existing Camelback Ranch Unit 1, in the City of Phoenix, is more than 
a mile away to the south from the existing Site, and is separated from the 
Site by the southern end of the Airport, the West Area Reclamation Facility, 
the New Riverbed, and ultimately Camelback Road.   
This isolation from residential uses is another key geographic advantage of this Phoenix 
Cement business location.     
As with the existing uses, the Site is compatible with the continued industrial 
character of the area.  These include the continued construction of light industrial 
businesses at the Glendale Airpark located on the north side of Glendale Avenue east of 
the landfill, and the future development planned by the City of similar industrial and 
aviation-related uses at the Airport.  The Site can also provide necessary construction 
material for these uses.  As discussed later, the operation of the mine will include buffers 
and create no substantial nuisance to disrupt the character of these adjacent properties. 
SPECIAL USE DISTRICT REQUIRED FINDINGS 
Section 6.505 of the Glendale Zoning Ordinance requires that a Special Use 
cannot be granted unless the following conditions exist: 
A. 
The use shall be compatible with existing and planned land uses and shall 
not be detrimental due to: 
1. 
Increased automobile traffic or impact on the circulation system of 
the adjacent neighborhood; 
2. 
Excessive noise or light generated from within the site; 
3. 
Excessive scale or height in relationship to surrounding properties; 
4. 
Hours of operation 
5. 
Inadequate parcel size to provide appropriate buffers or mitigation 
measures to surrounding properties; 
6. 
Disruption of the development character of the adjacent properties. 
B. 
The use is consistent with the General Plan.

6639.6.1612599.11

A:  The use shall be compatible with existing and planned land uses.  As 
detailed above and as evidenced by several years of existing operations, the Site will be 
compatible with the existing and planned industrial character of the area.   
The surrounding area includes several other uses which are compatible with the 
Site.  To the south is the 80 acre West Area Water Reclamation Facility.  The City also 
operates a landfill on approximately 80 acres north of the site across Glendale Avenue.  
The property immediately to the west is an existing sand and gravel facility on 160 acres 
located within unincorporated Maricopa County operated by Gravel Resources,  which 
the City of Glendale has strip annexed around.  The existing sand and gravel operations 
on the Site are having no impact on any of these existing industrial users, and the 
proposed expansion to 215 acres will continue to have no impact on any of these existing 
industrial users.   
This Site is adequately buffered from residential areas by the confluence of the 
Agua Fria River and New River south of the existing SUD.  As detailed above, no 
residential uses are located adjacent to or closer than one-half mile from the Site, at least 
five times the City Code distance of 500 feet, and none of those subdivisions are within 
the City of Glendale.      
A.1:  The use shall not be detrimental due to increased automobile traffic or 
impact on the circulation system of the adjacent neighborhood.  The additional 5 
year period means that mining of the additional acreage will not add significantly to the 
level of activity at the Site.  Thus, we do not project substantial additional annual traffic 
volume beyond what was previously projected or what has been experienced in the first 
six years of operation.  The existing sand and gravel operation is in a heavily industrial 
area, and is having no adverse impact on any residential traffic at all.  The “adjacent 
neighborhood” is Gravel Resources and their existing sand and gravel pit.  These are the 
only two businesses that utilize 115th Avenue south of Glendale Avenue.  As for Glendale 
Avenue itself, the intersection of 115th Avenue and Glendale serves the City landfill.  In 
other words, this intersection, isolated from any residential use, serves existing industrial 
uses.  There are currently no adverse impacts from the existing SUD, and the proposed 
physical expansion and added five years should not change the absence of impacts.    
A.2:  The use shall not be detrimental due to excessive noise or light 
generated from within the site.  The isolation of the processing activities 50 feet below 
grade in an existing industrial area has had its intended result: there have been no 
adverse noise or light impacts.  The proposed expansion does not change that.  All 
processing activities will remain in a sub-grade location.  Indeed, as detailed below, the 
revisions here will actually improve the ability of Phoenix Cement to conceal its activites 
below grade.  Thus, this proposal will not change that aspect of the sand and gravel 
operation.   
The facility does not require new access driveways onto Glendale Avenue or Glen 
Harbor Boulevard.  The signalized intersection of 115th Avenue and Glendale Avenue has 
operated efficiently during the existing operations at the Site, and should continue to do 
so.  Glendale Avenue is currently designed with two travel lanes in each direction and a

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
6
center turning lane.  The center turning lane provides ample stacking capacity for vehicles 
entering the sand and gravel operations from the east and vehicles entering the landfill 
from the west. The dual lanes in each direction on Glendale Avenue provide a safe 
passing lane from traffic entering the landfill from the east and entering the sand and 
gravel operations from the west.  Again, this proposed expanded footprint and additional 
five years will not change that aspect of the sand and gravel operation.   
Noise from the Site has posed no nuisance due to the large setback from nearby 
uses, the noise attenuation of the perimeter berm, the existing ambient noise in the area, 
and the acceptable levels of noise in the City Code.  While a sand and gravel operation 
does create noise, any noise generated has been less than that already generated by 
Gravel Resources, with the major difference of work at-grade versus the work below- 
grade.  Again, neither the proposed additional acreage nor the proposed additional five 
years will change this absence of impact.   
Surrounding uses generate their own noise as well.  The City landfill would be the 
largest noise generator in the area on a regular basis, but the two airports, Glendale 
Airport and Luke Air Force Base, generate the most noticeable noise for the general area.   
The isolation of the site also mitigates any noise impacts.  In addition to the below 
grade work area and the berm, the nearest residential users are more than one half-mile 
away in other jurisdictions. 
The same is true of lighting.  While sand and gravel operations do sometimes 
operate into night time or early morning hours, work here is below grade and behind 
berms, versus work at the adjacent Gravel Resources site, where work is performed by 
necessity at grade (due to the proximity to the flood plain).  The existing SUD requires 
any and all nighttime lighting to be directed downward and shielded.  Again, the closest 
residences are over a half mile away.  There has been no impact, and the proposed 
added acreage and time will not alter that.   
There will be no detrimental impacts from noise or light.   
A.3:  The use shall not be detrimental due to excessive scale or height in 
relationship to surrounding properties.   The largest feature in this area is the City’s 
landfill, which towers 130 feet into the sky.  This mountain is almost matched by the 120 
foot tall power lines that run down the east side of the subject property, separating it from 
the Airport.  By contrast, the existing SUD has one building at grade, a scale building, 
with a maximum height of 30 feet.  Every other piece of processing equipment with any 
vertical mass is entirely below grade, at the bottom of fifty foot pits.  This proposal will 
keep all processing equipment below grade at the bottom of mining areas, and it will also 
reduce the amount of mobile equipment that is visible from the site by bringing the post-
processing stockpiles below grade as well.  There is no detriment due to excessive scale 
or height, nor will there be.  
A.4:  The use shall not be detrimental due to hours of operation.  As detailed 
above, the extreme isolation of this Site, both horizontally and vertically, means that the

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
7
hours of operation have not been detrimental to anyone.  The Site is capable of operations 
24 hours a day, as customer and project requirements demand.  Actual operation times 
vary with the season, sales orders, and other factors.   Since the concrete used in 
construction is the primary use of the sand and gravel mined at the Site, it is essential 
that pours be able to take place at night, during the coolest part of the 24 hour day.  
Because the Site is so isolated, with work taking place below grade, these hours of 
operation have been of no bother to anyone.  As previously indicated, neither the physical 
expansion nor the additional five years will alter the use of any below-grade portions of 
the Site for any and all processing activities, and thus will have no detriment.   
A.5:  The use shall not be detrimental due to inadequate parcel size to 
provide appropriate buffers or mitigation measures to surrounding properties.  No 
variances will be required as a result of this proposal.  The ten (10) foot high berms along 
the north, east and southeast sides already provide ample visual buffers from the 
industrial park and the airport to the east, and their presence will continue to be required.  
No berm is required on the west side of the property, adjacent to the pre-existing sand 
and gravel operation in the County, but the SUD does provide for a forty-eight (48) foot 
setback here.   
With the proposed expansion of the Site north toward Glendale Avenue, Phoenix 
Cement is committing to maintain a 90 foot operational setback from the north property 
line of the Site.  As is currently the case, Phoenix Cement will continue to maintain a ten 
(10) foot berm on the north side of its operations, at a location between its north property 
line and its actual mining excavations and operations.  In addition, because Phoenix 
Cement is now proposing to move closer to Glendale Avenue, Phoenix Cement will also 
install and maintain desert (low-water use) landscaping between its northern property line 
and the berm.   
The City of Glendale is currently developing plans for the reconstruction of 
Glendale Avenue adjacent to the Site.  As part of this effort, the City has approached 
Phoenix Cement about locating a retention basin to serve the drainage needs of the 
landfill property on the south side of Glendale Avenue, which is to say, on the Site.  
Because the City is still developing the precise design of its proposed retention basin, 
Phoenix Cement has delayed development of a landscaping plan for its Glendale Avenue 
buffer area.  Once the City has completed its design and the parties have finalized an 
easement or other appropriate agreement, Phoenix Cement will then develop its 
landscape plan.  Phoenix Cement will install this landscaping within six months of the 
approval of this proposed expansion.  The future landscaping plan will be included here 
as Exhibit I.   
There is no operational change proposed along the east perimeter of the Site.  The 
Site will continue to use the power line easement as the eastern perimeter of its mining 
excavations and operations.  The power line easement is 460 feet wide, and Phoenix 
Cement is the owner of the underlying land.  This operational setback from Glen Harbor 
Boulevard is huge at the south end of the Site, and larger at the north end of the property, 
where Glen Harbor Boulevard continues on a northeast route away from the Site.

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
8
Phoenix Cement will continue to maintain a ten (10) foot berm along this eastern 
perimeter, between its eastern and southeastern property line and its actual mining 
excavations and operations.   
Phoenix Cement currently maintains a bermed setback at its Olive Avenue mining 
location about two miles to the north, where the buffer is adjacent to single family homes 
and separated by about 140 feet of public street.  Here, where the proposed setbacks are 
90 feet from an arterial street and a landfill, and 460 feet from a local street and an  airport, 
the commitment to berming is the same.   In sum, there are substantial protections 
proposed which will provide additional visual mitigation to the surrounding industrial 
users.   
A.6:  The use shall not be detrimental due to disruption of the development 
character of the adjacent properties.  To reiterate, the Site has operated for several 
years now with no impacts on its neighbors: the Airport, the Water Reclamation Facility, 
another sand and gravel operation, and the landfill.  Given its operational commitments 
to continued berming and processing at pit bottoms, the Site will continue to be a good 
neighbor.     
B:  The use is consistent with the General Plan.  Phoenix Cement has already 
detailed its consistency with the General Plan above.  To reiterate, the General Plan 
designates the Site for Business Park.  Although the Sand & Gravel Site is more of a 
Heavy Industry, its operation is temporary.  Through reclamation, this operation will make 
possible future construction of light industrial and office uses on the overall property west 
of the Airport within the designated Western Growth Area. 
 
The General Plan encourages uses that support the nearby Luke Air Force and 
Airport operations, and uses which do not require extension of municipal services into the 
western portions of the City Planning Area.  The Site is a use which has a low employee 
density.  Low employee density uses make a good fit near airports for safety reasons.  
The operation requires no extension of municipal services.  Temporary electrical power 
needs are available by nearby power lines.  Water is available via a nearby well and 
portable storage.  Wastewater needs are minimal due to the low employment density at 
the site compared to other types of non-residential uses.   
STATEMENT OF EXPLANATION 
Overview of Facility Location and Phasing 
The Site will comprise approximately 215 acres.  The Site will be the limits of the 
proposed SUD (see Exhibit D).   
The north and east perimeters of the Site will include berms to a minimum height 
of ten (10) feet from existing grade, as detailed above.  Mining areas will have a maximum 
pit depth of 50 feet, with the approximate top ten feet of soil and topsoil (collectively the 
“overburden”) stripped and stored on site as part of the minimum ten (10) foot high berms 
used to screen the mining area.

6639.6.1612599.11

Only mining areas in active use will be excavated, while those already mined will 
be restored for later reuse consistent with the underlying PAD and M-1 zoning.  Active 
use includes land disturbance associated with the start of a new mining area and the 
closing of a prior mining area.  Reclamation of sand and gravel pits is a normal part of 
doing business for the sand and gravel industry, and is performed in accordance with a 
Reclamation Plan filed with the State Department of Mines.  Phoenix Cement expects to 
complete its first reclamation area sometime in 2020.    
Buffering 
Several aspects of the Site will continue to buffer the proposed mining and 
processing from neighboring uses.  This includes providing large setbacks, creating an 
earthen perimeter berm, and locating structures, with the exception of a one story scale 
house, in the bottom of excavated areas of the Site. The Site will also continue to limit its 
access to area public streets.   
As detailed above, Phoenix Cement will continue to provide generous setbacks 
along the perimeters of the Site.  The Site will provide a 90 foot setback from Glendale 
Avenue.  The Site will use the power line easement to provide a 460 foot setback along 
its eastern and southeastern perimeter.  The Site already maintains a forty-eight (48) foot 
setback on its west perimeter.  A setback exhibit is included here as Exhibit J.   
The Site will also continue to provide a ten (10) foot berm as part of its northern 
and eastern (including southeastern) perimeters, as detailed above.  In addition, because 
Phoenix Cement is now proposing to move closer to Glendale Avenue, Phoenix Cement 
will also install and maintain desert (low-water use) landscaping between its northern 
property line and the berm.  Phoenix Cement will install this landscaping within six months 
of the approval of this proposed expansion.  As detailed above, Phoenix Cement has 
delyed developing its landsacape plan while the City develops its own proposal to locate 
a retention basin for the landfill property on this Site.  Once Phoenix Cemenet does 
develop its landscape plan, that plan will be included here as Exhibit I.  This is the only 
portion of the site that is actually visible to the general public.  It sits across the street from 
the 130 foot tall landfill.   
In addition to the berms, the Operator will only perform batch and washing 
operations 50 feet below grade within the Site.  When combined with the ten (10) foot 
berms, this means activities will actually be 60 feet below the visible top of the berms.  
This will eliminate the impact of tall structures and equipment at the Site. These eliminated 
tall structures will be replaced by “low profile” equipment that will generally be lower than 
berm height. 
The expansion of the Site also allows a greater floor area for concealed operations.  
Production at the Site currently yields high quality sand – the primary useful material 
produced at the Site -- at a successful rate, but this success has also produced a 
generous stockpile of rock by-product, which is less marketable.  With the current small, 
below grade footprint at the Site, it has become necessary to temporarily store some of 
that stockpile material at grade, and to have the minimal conveying and earth moving

10
equipment associated with that effort operating visibly.  The proposed increase in size of 
the Site will create more below-grade area where that stockpile can be stored completely 
out of site.  Thus, the proposed increase in size will actually improve the appearance of 
the Site by pulling all the stockpile material below grade.   
The batch plant itself on the site, along with the rest of the mining equipment, is 
kept below grade on the floor of the Site.  That will continue.  The larger floor area may 
allow the installation of additional batch plant equipment, but again, Phoenix Cement 
remains committed to keeping all batch plant and mining equipment below grade.  The 
Site will include the necessary equipment to excavate and mine. This will require a variety 
of equipment to dig, drill, rip, blade, and move the soil. It will be possible to locate much 
of this equipment within the mining area. Other equipment like pick-up trucks and watering 
trucks will remain at grade located behind the earth berm. Also at grade, the Site will 
include a construction trailer and area to weigh vehicles. Heights will not exceed 30 feet.  
This is well under the allowable 60-foot height of the Western Area General Plan (see 
Exhibit E).  Also, it poses no obstruction to impair flight safety or decrease the operational 
capability of the Airport since approximately 120-foot tall high-voltage electric 
transmission lines currently exist between the Site and the Airport. The low height will 
mitigate visual impact of the Site in addition to the generous buffering and berming.    
This proposed expansion of the SUD footprint does not seek any additional access 
points to either Glendale Avenue or Glen Harbor Boulevard.  The existing signalized 
intersection at 115th Avenue and Glendale Avenue has proven to be perfectly capable of 
handling the truck ingress and egress from the multiple sand and gravel businesses on 
the south side of Glendale and the landfill on the north side of Glendale.  The Site does 
not require more access.   
Facility Operations 
 
The typical equipment and activity at a sand and gravel operation requires 
excavating/drilling equipment to get the material out of the ground, loading equipment to 
transfer the material short distances, hauling devices to move the material longer 
distances, processing equipment to prepare the material in a form suitable for its use as 
aggregate, and storage of rock by-product in stockpiles. Processing generally involves 
preparing the material to a particular particle size or shape through crushing and grinding. 
A common processing operation associated with sand and gravel operations are batch 
plants for the production of concrete. As previously indicated, there has been a batch 
plant in operation below grade at the Site.  The proposed expansion will allow an increase 
in floor area that could facilitate additional batch plant equipment, which would continue 
to occur at the bottom of the excavated areas, fifty feet below grade and out of the public 
eye.  Stockpiling of rock by-product also occurs throughout the mining process.  Again, 
as stated above, the proposed expansion will create greater space below grade to allow 
all stockpiling of rock to occur below-grade, thus allowing for better functioning of the Site 
during the mining and reclamation effort.  The sand and gravel operation will also continue 
to follow mandatory safety and operation requirements as other construction sites, with 
the added rules and regulations of the State Department of Mines and Mineral Resources 
and the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.

Phasing  
 
At 215 acres, mining activity will continue to be focused on a particular parts of the 
Site, rather than covering the entire Site throughout the term of the SUD (see Exhibit F).  
Since operations placed the most significant processing activities at the remote southwest 
tip of the Site, Phoenix Cement now anticipates proceeding in a logical manner, moving 
steadily north across the site, opening adjacent areas one after the other.  Again, 
throughout its efforts, Phoenix Cement intends to maintain all of the operational 
restrictions, such as berming and operating below grade, that have allowed it to be a good 
neighbor.   
Reclamation will continue to occur alongside mining activities.  The start of mining 
of a new phase will occur concurrently with placement of inert backfill of the prior phase.  
As stated previously, Phoenix Cement anticipates the completion of its first reclamation 
area in 2020.  Reclamation activities will be performed in accordance with the State-
approved Reclamation Plan.   
Hours of Operation 
Phoenix Cement requires the ability to operate the facility at least six days a week 
and 24 hours a day as customer and project requirements demand.  Actual operation 
times will vary with the season, sales orders, and other factors.    
Continuous operations are important for two reasons.  First, concrete used in 
construction will be the primary use for the sand and gravel mined at the Site. In the 
Valley’s extreme weather, concrete pours in the summer must take place at night, during 
the coolest part of the 24 hour day.  There will be times that Phoenix Cement will need to 
be operating in response to this physical reality of our climate.    
Second, 24 hour operations are most efficient both for Phoenix Cement and for the 
community.  In a mining operation, no matter how well managed and planned, the goal is 
to complete the mining activity as quickly as possible and begin the reclamation process.  
Being able to operate 24 hours a day allows the mining to be completed more quickly, 
and that in turn allows the land to achieve viability for future vertical development more 
quickly.   
Reclamation 
 
Several circumstances exist to assure reclamation will occur over the area 
occupied by the Site.  The City has approved and amended the SUD.  The State has 
approved and will monitor and enforce a Reclamation Plan.     
Backfill is being used to reclaim the mining pits.  Backfill will be comprised of inert 
material and overburden excavated on and off site.  Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S. 49-
701.15.a) define an inert material as a material which is not flammable, will not 
decompose, and will not leach substances in concentrations above prescribed standards.  
Inert material used at the site will meet or exceed these minimum guidelines.  For outside

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
12
suppliers of backfill material, Phoenix Cement requires the supplier to complete a 
materials survey, to provide geotechnical and analytical test results of the material, to 
allow Phoenix Cement’s trained personnel to review the survey and test results, and to 
require a visual inspection of the material prior to accepting it for backfill.  Phoenix Cement 
will continue to maintain associated records.  Appropriate protocols will occur to ensure 
the backfill and final reclamation for each mined area is safe for future 
commercial/industrial development.  Below are some of these protocols that will assure 
no subsidence in the reclaimed area.   
 Backfill material will occur in moisture-conditioned and compact lifts or 
layers.   
 The larger sized particles between 12 to 24 inches in height will not occur 
in consecutive layers.   
 Sand-sized soil will be placed over the layers with larger particles to fill any 
potential voids.   
 Layers will have a relative minimum compaction of 95 percent.   
 
Roadways within the Site used to excavate and process the mined material will be 
ripped and scarified to match surface drainage patterns of surrounding reclaimed land.  
This reclamation of compacted road surfaces will eliminate the concentrated and erosive 
flow patterns associated with typical road runoff.  The uneven and loosened surfaces 
created by re-contouring, scarifying, and ripping will facilitate infiltration and generate 
relatively non-erosive sheet flow under heavy precipitation events.   
Noise 
The standard unit of measurement of the loudness of sound is the decibel (dBA). 
The decibel measurement is logarithmic; meaning each increase of 10 decibels is a 
tenfold increase in the sound energy.  Typically, the quietest environmental conditions 
(extreme rural areas with extensive shielding) yield sound levels of approximately 20 
dBA. Normal speech has a sound level of approximately 60 dBA. Sound levels above 120 
dBA roughly correspond to the threshold of pain and would be associated with sources 
such as jet engine noise.  The minimum change in sound level that the human ear can 
detect is approximately 3 dBA.  A change in sound level of 10 dBA is usually perceived by 
the average person as a doubling (or halving) of the sound’s loudness.  The standard 
reference distance for sound levels at the source is 50 feet.  The standard reduction for 
noise over distance is approximately 6 dBA per doubling of distance from the source, 
which could be further reduced by factors such as topography and weather, among 
others. 
A sand and gravel operation creates noise during extraction, hauling, and 
processing activities. These noise levels are similar to many activities found at the nearby 
Airport, Luke Air Force Base, City landfill, and other industrial and construction sites within 
the City.  At a distance of 50 feet, the following activities have the respective decibel levels.  
Large 18 wheel trucks and vehicle movements backing up and slamming doors generate 
a maximum noise level of 86 dBA. Trash pickup and compacting have noise levels

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
13
ranging from 80 to 85 dBA associated with raising, lowering and compacting operations. 
Earth moving and impact equipment like front end loaders, jack hammers, and rock drills 
have a noise level between 70 to 100 dBA.  Any distance further from the site will receive 
less noise, as sound energy degrades as distance increases.  
Noise from the Site has posed, and will continue to pose, no nuisance due to the 
large setback from nearby uses, the noise attenuation of the proposed berms, the 
existing ambient noise in the area, and the acceptable levels of noise in the City Code. 
With the 460 foot wide setback separating the Site from the Airport and the setback of 
90 feet to Glendale Avenue, this distance alone will reduce noise levels.  Much like the 
sound attenuation walls along the freeway, the ten (10) foot high berms will further 
mitigate the level of noise someone may hear off the property by absorbing sound. The 
Federal Highway Administration estimates earth berms can provide noise attenuation up 
to 15 dBA.  The existing ambient level of noise in the area is already at high levels due to 
the operation of the adjoining sand and gravel operator, the above-grade City landfill 
across Glendale Avenue, and the known yearly average decibel contour from the Airport 
over the Site of at least 55 dBA. The City Code includes limitations limiting activities 500 
feet or closer to residential uses. As noted previously, the Site is more than half a mile from 
the nearest residential home, at least five times the City Code distance of 500 feet. 
Scale/Height 
Phoenix Cement remains committed to keeping mining acitivity at this Site below-
grade. The height of equipment is predominately less than ten feet.  As previously noted, 
heights of any structures or equipment that are at grade will not exceed 30 feet. The 
limited pieces of equipment above ten feet will not exceed a typical two-story building.  
These heights are comparable to heights found at the adjoining Airport and other nearby 
heavy industrial uses.  The height of the equipment at the Site will not interfere with 
visibility of the air traffic control tower.  The equipment will fall below the elevation of the 
floor of the tower which measures 45 feet in height from grade.  Also, the Site naturally 
sits at an elevation up to ten feet lower than the tower.  Another circumstance which 
supports the proposed heights at the Site is the operating procedure by the Airport of a 
traffic pattern to avoid the approximately 120-foot tall high-voltage power lines located 
along Glen Harbor Boulevard and to prevent civilian aircraft from overflying Luke Air Force 
Base.  This operating procedure results in moving air traffic to the east, away from the 
Site.  The City Western Area Plan supports a maximum height of 60 feet on the Site.  The 
scale of the mining operation is at a size far less than the adjoining sand and gravel 
operator to the west and the landfill to the north. According to the Arizona Department of 
Environmental Quality Master Facility Plan for the City landfill, it can reach an eventual 
elevation of 1185.77 feet. This is approximately 130 feet above Glendale Avenue. The 
large setback from neighboring uses and the buffering of the Site mentioned above will 
further the compatibility related to its scale and height.   
Light Emission 
The use of flood light and other lighting devices is necessary during non-daylight 
hours.  All lighting and material used at the facility does not currently, nor will it in the

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
14
future, impair visibility or otherwise interfere with operating aircraft by direct or indirect 
light emissions.  All lighting is directed downward and shielded.   
Air Quality 
Air quality is an ongoing concern within the Valley.  For sand and gravel operators, 
air emissions are from drilling, crushing, conveying, screening, and stockpiling materials. 
Control of dust from this source is through wet dust suppression, dry dust collection 
techniques or a combination of the two.  Fugitive dust is generated from haul roads, and 
is typically caused by natural occurrences like wind in addition to mining activities like 
truck hauling. For sand and gravel mining operations, fugitive dust typically is the largest 
contributor to overall dust at a site.  Phoenix Cement currently controls fugitive dust by a 
variety of means, and will continue to use those means in the future.  These include any 
combination of spraying the ground by water trucks, windbreaks from the berms, 
enforcement of on-site speed limits, strategic placement of stockpiles, and the use of 
protective vegetative cover in open areas.  Phoenix Cement has a Maricopa County 
and/or Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Air Quality Permit, and, if 
this expansion is approved, Phoenix Cement will secure an expansion of that permit and 
provide a copy to the City.   
Stormwater 
The Site operates with an ADEQ Notice of Intent (NOI) for Stormwater Discharge 
and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).  A copy of the NOI permit is 
attached as Exhibit G.  The SWPPP is too voluminous to include.   
Traffic 
115th Avenue is, and will continue to be, the sole point of public ingress and egress 
to the Site.  115th Avenue already provided access to the active sand and gravel 
operations south of Glendale Avenue.  South of Glendale Avenue, 115th Avenue is a 
County road.  The applicant expects 115th Avenue to remain a County road prior to the 
vertical development of the Site.  Thus, there are no plans to annex the County portion of 
115th Avenue into the City as part of this SUD proposal.  
At Glendale Avenue, 115th Avenue is already signalized.  The signal primarily 
serves the City landfill north of Glendale Avenue and the public employee training facility.  
The expansion of the facility will require no additional access driveways onto Glendale 
Avenue or Glen Harbor Boulevard.  The signalized intersection of 115th Avenue and 
Glendale Avenue will continue to operate efficiently with the expansion of the Site. 
Glendale Avenue is currently designed with two travel lanes in each direction and a center 
turning lane.  The center turning lane provides ample stacking capacity for vehicles 
entering the sand and gravel operations from the east and vehicles entering the landfill 
from the west. The dual lanes in each direction on Glendale Avenue provide a safe 
passing lane from traffic entering the landfill from the east and entering the sand and 
gravel operations from the west.

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
15
In addition to 115th Avenue, a significant amount of traffic leaving the Site never 
makes it to public roads.  With the cooperation of its neighbors and the City of Glendale, 
the multiple sand and gravel operators in the area have been able to create a non-public 
truck crossing of the Agua Fria Riverbed to the west of the Site.  These trucks instead 
deliver payloads to other sand and gravel processors, without ever driving onto Glendale 
Avenue.    
As with other possible impacts from this land use, there have been no issues 
associated with the employee or truck traffic generated by the existing business.  On a 
typical day, there are roughly seventy (70) workers on site.  For a site that is already over 
100 acres, that is obviously a low concentration of workers.  Estimated truck traffic 
associated with the sand and gravel operation is an average of 74 trips per day.  This 
amount of employee and truck traffic is low compared to trip generations for the light 
industrial and commercial uses that will eventually occupy this Site.  Because the 
proposed expansion will not result in any significant change in daily traffic patterns, there 
is no basis for any additional traffic improvements at this time. 
FAA Regulations 
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CRF) Part 77 requires that the FAA 
promote air safety and provide an efficient use of navigable airspace.  To accomplish 
these objectives, all proposed construction which could potentially affect airspace must 
file a Notice of Proposed Construction (FAA Form 7460-1) with the FAA.   
The FAA has issued Letters of Determination approving the current uses within the 
existing SUD.  These are attached here as Exhibit H.  Phoenix Cement will continue to 
update its FAA compliance as the footprint of activity expands into additional parts of the 
Site.    
Glendale Airport operates with an unusual flight pattern, designed to protect the 
viability of Luke AFB to the west.  All air traffic into and out of the Glendale Airport is to 
turn east.  Thus, there is no flight activity over the Site.  In addition, because of the 
presence of 120 foot tall electrical lines, it would be dangerous for Glendale Airport flights 
to turn west toward the subject.   
The Site will continue to have heights lower than adjacent users and will not impact 
the navigable airspace.  The proposed 30 feet at grade scale house will be the tallest 
structure on property, with the remaining buildings and equipment all located below grade.   
The Site does not currently, and will not when expanded, attract wildlife.  The 
Gravel Resources operation on the west side of 115th Avenue has open ponds with 
standing water in them.  Despite the open water, these ponds do not attract birds or other 
wildlife, and have had no impact on Airport operations.  By contrast, the Operator’s 
activities do not, and will not, have standing water ponds.  Water will be used or recycled, 
not held in the open.  Thus, regardless of the experience next door, there is no risk of 
wildlife gathering at the Site.

6639.6.1612599.11

Water 
Phoenix Cement does not require potable water or effluent for its operations.  (The 
nearest potable line is in Glen Harbor Boulevard.) Phoenix Cement meets its processing 
and dust control needs using well water from a well already on site.  Phoenix Cement 
imports bottled potable water for the small on-site staff.  The proposed expansion and 
extension of time will not change these resources.   
Based on well data from the Arizona Department of Water Resources, the 
approximate depth of groundwater over the Site is at least 100 feet below ground.  
Groundwater has not been, nor will it be, a constraint to the operation in that the 
excavations have been, and will continue to be, to a depth of approximately 50 feet.   
Phoenix Cement will take all appropriate measures as required by law to safely 
handle fueling and operational-related repairs of vehicles and equipment at the site.  
These standard measures will be no different than the measures taken at other numerous 
industrial and commercial sites within the Phoenix metropolitan area.  The extent of the 
fuel and related equipment repairs will be far less intensive than the adjoining Airport 
aircraft operations, and similar to the sand and gravel operator to the west and the landfill 
to the north.  The limited exposure of such potential pollutants poses no more a risk to 
water quality than the Airport, which is closer to the confluence of the intermittent water 
course of the Agua Fria and New River.   
Water usage at a sand and gravel operation is nominal when compared to most 
industrial uses. Water will be used to perform critical operations such as drilling and dust 
control. Issues related to runoff are negligible.  Phoenix Cement has secured an 
applicable Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).  Because our facility 
currently is below applicability thresholds for both oil volume and reasonable expectations 
to discharge to a navigable waterway, we are not required to have a separate Spill 
Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC).  However, many of the same 
elements that an SPCC Plan would have are already implemented in the SWPPP.     
STATEMENT OF BENEFITS 
The primary benefit of the Site to the City and West Valley will continue to be the 
local availability of source material the mine produces, and specifically the financial 
savings the mine will afford ADOT, local governments, and developers on existing and 
future construction projects because of its central location.    Not only does the unique 
infill location of the mine reduce transport costs, it also reduces vehicle miles traveled, 
thereby contributing to regional air quality and traffic safety.   
Material from the mine has multiple uses in all types of construction and 
manufacturing.  These uses may include heavy construction, street and highway 
construction like Loop 303, Northern Parkway, airport expansion, commercial 
construction like the University of Phoenix stadium area, and residential construction.  
Manufacturing uses may include industrial cast mold, glass and ceramic, among many 
other uses the West Glendale Planning Area and the General Plan designate as targets.

6639.6.1612599.11 
 
04/17/2020 
17
The industrial and commercial nature of the West Glendale Planning Area makes 
the proximity of required commodities like sand and gravel operations a positive economic 
driver.  Because of its heavy weight and high transportation costs, sand and gravel 
operations are typically near their point of use.  The Site is at an ideal location to supply 
product to business and construction customers at reasonable haul costs.  It is halfway 
between Perryville Road and 43rd Avenue, the respective west and east boundary of the 
City.    
The long term benefit of the SUD is that the mining and accompanying reclamation 
of the Site will result in the transformation of the Site from unbuildable silt to appropriately 
compacted land available for vertical construction.  That compaction will eventually allow 
the Site to be developed consistent with the underlying PAD and M-1 zoning, consistent 
with the City’s General Plan.     
CONCLUSION 
 
Since commencing operations following the original City Council approval in 2013, 
sand and gravel mining has occurred at the Site with absolutely no impacts on the 
surrounding lands.  Specifically, there have been no noise impacts, no lighting impacts, 
no dust impacts, no water table impacts, and no traffic impacts.  Likewise, the sand and 
gravel operations have had no impacts on the City’s three adjacent facilities, the Airport, 
the water reclamation facility, and the Landfill.  In other words, the operation has occurred 
in exactly the manner directed by the original 2013 approval and the 2016 amendment. 
This physical expansion to 215 acres and the proposed time extension to 2038 will not 
change any operational aspects of the sand and gravel mining, and thus, will continue to 
have no detrimental impacts of any kind on the City or any of its residents or property 
owners.   
The Site is a good fit to the existing and planned uses in the area.  The facility is 
near similar large scale heavy industrial uses like the Airport, City landfill, and an adjoining 
sand and gravel operation.  The mining area is more than a half mile away from the 
nearest existing residential uses, posing no nuisance risk.  The characteristics of the 
facility include large setbacks, screening berms, low equipment heights, dust control 
measures, and relatively low vehicle trips, among the other factors discussed in this 
narrative which make this facility beneficial to the area. The life expectancy of the mining 
is defined by the SUD.  The reclamation of the mined area back to a restored state for 
future commercial and industrial development offers future economic benefits to the City, 
benefits that were not available at this Site before Phoenix Cement started its operations.   
For these reasons, we respectfully request your approval of the expansion of the  
Special Use District Overlay.

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:
Quarry Berm - NW1
Location:
Glendale, AZ
Latitude:
33-32-10.34N NAD 83
Longitude:
112-18-24.52W
Heights:
1052 feet site elevation (SE)
10 feet above ground level (AGL)
1062 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure does not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s), if any, is(are) met:
It is required that FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be e-filed any time the

__X__ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part 2)
Based on this evaluation, marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation safety. However, if marking/
lighting are accomplished on a voluntary basis, we recommend it be installed in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 L Change 2.
This determination expires on 05/27/2021 unless:
(a)
the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b)
extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c)
the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.

NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, effective 21 Nov 2007, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including
increase to heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA.This
determination includes all previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:
Quarry Berm - NW2
Location:
Glendale, AZ
Latitude:
33-32-10.78N NAD 83
Longitude:
112-18-23.87W
Heights:
1053 feet site elevation (SE)
10 feet above ground level (AGL)
1063 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure does not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s), if any, is(are) met:
It is required that FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be e-filed any time the
project is abandoned or:
_____ At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part 1)
__X__ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part 2)
Based on this evaluation, marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation safety. However, if marking/
lighting are accomplished on a voluntary basis, we recommend it be installed in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 L Change 2.
This determination expires on 05/27/2021 unless:
(a)
the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b)
extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c)
the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.

NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, effective 21 Nov 2007, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including
increase to heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA.This
determination includes all previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or
regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
