Diamond Construction has agreed to pay the RM 45-cents per tonne of gravel collected for road maintenance which over a 10-year period will come to $150,000. Hamm said operating hours will be between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday with exceptions on Saturday if needed. Dust suppression equipment will be used, as well trees and berms to suppress noise. There will be environmental remediation after the mine closes.
It’s estimated the project will take about 10 years to mine the area of coarse gravel.
