Toxicological information Information on toxicological effects Acute toxicity: Not expected to be acutely toxic. Irritation/Corrosion: Skin: Dust: May cause irritation through mechanical abrasion. This product is not expected to be a skin hazard. Eyes: Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation through mechanical abrasion. Inhalation: Repeated inhalation of respirable crystalline silica (quartz) may cause silicosis, a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. Silicosis is irreversible and may be fatal. Silicosis increases the risk of contracting pulmonary tuberculosis. Some studies suggest that repeated inhalation of respirable crystalline silica may cause other adverse health effects including lung and kidney cancer. Repeated inhalation of actinolite, asbestiform fibers may lead to a characteristic pneumoconiosis termed asbestos, a diffuse interstitial lung fibrosis. Individuals with fully developed asbestosis will experience dyspnea, which is often accompanied by rales or cough and deficits in pulmonary function variables ad cardiovascular effects may occur. Besides asbestosis, chronic asbestos exposure may cause lung cancer, mesothelioma (primarily of the pleura, but also of the peritoneum), pleural disease, and pleural plaques. Tobacco smokers exposed to respirable crystalline silica (quartz) and asbestos fibers are at greater risk for lung cancer than nonsmokers. Ingestion: Not likely due to product form. However accidental ingestion may cause discomfort. Sensitization: Respiratory sensitization: No respiratory sensitizing effects known. Skin sensitization: Not known to be a dermal irritant or sensitizer. Mutagenicity: No data available to indicate product or any components present at greater than 0.1% are mutagenic or genotoxic. Aspiration Hazard: Not expected to be an aspiration hazard. Reproductive toxicity: Not expected to be a reproductive hazard. Symptoms related to physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics: Dust: discomfort in the chest. Shortness of breath. Coughing. Carcinogenicity: Respirable crystalline silica and actinolite, asbestiform have been classified by IARC and NTP as known human carcinogens. ACGIH classifies respirable crystalline silica as a suspected human carcinogen and actinolite, asbestiform as a known human carcinogen.

Hanson plans to conduct limited activities at the Rock Hill Quarry. The limited activities outlined below reflect Hanson’s annual removal of 500 tons of stone at the Quarry. This document proposes the sequence of operations performed, the emission controls employed, and the air monitoring to be conducted. Please note, this activity does not include crushing, processing, drilling, or blasting activities. These activities and other future activities would require approval from the DEP before construction. Applicable emission controls and monitoring, if necessary and different than those proposed herein, will be proposed at that time. Limited Activity Events The following limited activity events are proposed: 1. Equipment delivery (i.e., rubber-tire loader and water truck). Water truck will arrive first to wet roads. The rubber-tire loader will be delivered on a flat-bed trailer and unloaded. Other passenger vehicle traffic will occur on the site that day, obeying the maximum speed limit of 15 miles per hour (mph). Water used from the existing site ponds for dust prevention will be filtered before use in the water truck or sprays. The water truck will remain on-site throughout the 500-ton event and will continue to be used as needed. 2. Material transfer from pile to tri-axle trucks via rubber-tire loader for removal from the site. Approximately 23 tri-axle truck will accomplish the 500-ton minimum removal. Equipment demobilization will be included in this event. 3. Site Maintenance Activities – Clearing of brush and road maintenance, as needed. Hanson has included this optional limited activity event since it is likely that refurbishment of site roads or clearing of brush at the site will be needed at some point in the near future. Emission Controls for Sources: Before the activity, Hanson or its representatives will inspect the site for road dust and relative conditions. The inspection will dictate the necessary actions to control emissions before any activity. Also, as part of Hanson’s required pre-task tailgate meetings, discussion points of dust control, visible emissions, asbestos, and procedure for internal notifications and corrective actions in the event that emission controls are not adequate will be discussed with all workers. As stated in Hanson’s Asbestos Monitoring and Mitigation Plan (AMMP) dated July 6, 2021, submitted to DEP, the control measures to be employed are as follows: 1. Hanson will use a state-of-the-art street sweeper to clean paved roads before other equipment arrives at the Quarry during and after each limited activity, if deemed necessary. 1 ATTACHMENT B LIMITED ACTIVITY EVENTS SAMPLING PLAN 2. All internal site roadways to be used during the limited activity will be adequately wetted using a water truck before any vehicle traffic, including delivery of the equipment (i.e., rubber-tire loader). 3. The storage pile(s) will be adequately wetted in the area where the material will be removed during the loading activity. 4. The material will be loaded into the truck and the minimum drop height possible. 5. Via the water truck or equivalent methods, additional water application will be completed as necessary if the newly exposed aggregate shows signs of dryness. 6. Tri-axle truck wheels will be washed off using the water truck spray or other equivalent method before exiting the site. 7. Tri-axle truck loads will be properly tarped before exiting the site. 8. Water will be applied to control dust by increasing the moisture content of the material. Increasing the moisture content will prevent dust from becoming airborne instead of suppression, which involves knocking down dust already airborne. Sequence of Air Monitoring During Limited Activity Events Hanson or its representatives will follow the air monitoring plan outlined in the AMMP. Before any activity starts, monitors will be set up at the same eight (8) locations identified in Hanson’s AMMP, which were used previously in the five (5) background sampling events conducted in 2021. Air sampling will be initiated before any activity starts in order to obtain the necessary air volume to obtain the required accuracy. Air monitoring will occur during the three (3) proposed limited activity events: during (1) site-staging, (2) the 500-ton removal event, and (3) maintenance activities. Wind Direction and Speed will be periodically recorded during all air monitoring events using a handheld instrument onsite and from the nearby Pennridge Airport. 1. Site Staging Air monitoring will be conducted when equipment is delivered to the Quarry and for the remainder of the day to obtain the necessary sample volume. No other activities will be conducted at the site until the results of the first monitoring event are received and submitted to DEP. After the results are reviewed and verified not to exceed the proposed corrective action thresholds, air monitors will be placed and started before removing the 500 tons of crushed aggregate from the site. 2. 500-ton Removal Event Following site staging monitoring and assessment, Hanson will remove 500-tons from existing stockpiles at the Quarry, which is expected to take one (1) day. Hanson anticipates that activities and sampling during this stage will occur 10-14 days following site-staging activities and related lab analysis. Site activities during this limited activity operations event will include the following: • Street Sweeper • Driving equipment at Quarry (rubber-tired loader, tri-axle trucks, water truck) • Use of equipment (i.e., material transfer from rubber-wheeled loader to tri-axle trucks) • Use of water truck to wet aggregate piles, site roads and wash off tri-axle tires 2 ATTACHMENT B LIMITED ACTIVITY EVENTS SAMPLING PLAN • Loading the rubber-tire loader onto the flat-bed trailer and demobilizing from the site. The rubber-tire loader will be washed off prior to loading and all truck tires will be washed off prior to leaving the site As noted above, unless required and approved in advance by DEP, Hanson’s activities will not include the crushing or processing of any aggregate materials, any blasting activities, or the use of drilling machinery. During removal of the 500 tons of material, an observer trained in the visible emissions method will monitor site work to determine if any visible emissions are generated during any of the activities. If visible emissions are noted, the operations will be temporarily halted, and additional control measures will be implemented as appropriate. Once the control measures are considered adequate, the operations will resume. 3. Site Maintenance An additional limited activity event that may need to occur consists of site maintenance work on quarry roadways or vegetation clearing. A full round of air monitoring would be completed during this limited activity event. Hanson will apply water to site roads and materials (i.e. crushed aggregate) as needed to prevent potential dust from becoming airborne in areas where maintenance activities are occurring. Hanson anticipates utilizing small skid-steer equipment to accomplish site maintenance. Note: If the results of air monitoring during any of the three (3) above-referenced limited activity events indicate an exceedance of the corrective action thresholds, the cause(s) will be investigated and corrective measures taken before subsequent activity commences at the Quarry. 3
