LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Florida Geological Survey August 1989 Governor Bob Martinez, Chairman Florida Department of Natural Resources Tallahassee, Florida 32301 Dear Governor Martinez: The Florida Geological Survey, Division of Resource Management, Department of Natural Resources, is publishing as Part I of its Information Circular No. 105, The Industrial Minerals Industry Directory of Florida. This directory lists the companies' names, their commodity and location, for those companies involved in mineral and earth resource extraction in Florida. The directory will be useful to industry, state and local governmental agencies, geologists, and the citizens of the State. The Survey's intention is to help the reader realize the economic impact mining has in Florida, and its importance to our way of life. Part II of this circular, entitled Geology, Mining and Reclamation at the Radar Hill Quarry, Citrus Country, Florida, is the result of interagency cooperation between the Florida Geological Survey, the U.S. Forest Service, and Florida Rock Industries, Inc. This section reviews the geology and mine development of an economic limestone deposit in the Withlacoochee State Forest. Respectfully yours, Walter Schmidt, Ph.D. State Geologist and Chief Florida Geological Survey iii

INFORMATION CIRCULAR No. 105 THE INDUSTRIAL MINERALS INDUSTRY DIRECTORY OF FLORIDA Compiled By Steven M. Spencer, P. G. #319 INTRODUCTION The primary intent of this publication is to list all those companies (other than oil and gas operators) involvel with the extraction and/or processing of industrial minerals in Florida. Information relating to oil and ga$ production in Florida can be found in the Florida Geological Survey Information Circulars No. 104 and 106. The directory lists the name, address and location of each industry under the commodity that is mined. When possible the complete location is given as Township, Range and Section. However, the term multiple, which occurs in the column marked section, denotes that a particular mine encompasses more than two sections. The remark "not available" is also used when a location was not found. Table 1 lists all the abbreviations used in this text. Table 2 is a listing of all commodities by county. These commodities may be mined or processed in the designated county. Shell material (lithified or unlithified) and coquina have been incorporated into a single designation, limestone. The Florida Geological Survey has used numerous sources in compiling the directory. This office will appreciate notification of any corrections, additions or deletions for future editions. You may contact the Florida Geological Survey at 903 W. Tennessee Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32304-7795, (904) 488-9380. 1

These observations are applicable to the Radar Hill area where the Suwannee Limestone is also thickest beneath the hills (Figure 5b). through tunnels to meet job specifications, followed by processing through a final wash, and final storage in loadout bins in preparation for transportation to the consumer. RECLAMATION An important part of the plan of operation for the Radar Hill Quarry is the rehabilitation of the mined land, either during the time of mining or soon after an area is mined. Florida Rock Industries, Inc., re- ports that there are approximately 384 mineable acres of land at Radar Hill and another 91 acres which will be used for stockpiling overburden (Fig- ure 9). The plans for mining and reclamation are tied closely together. Each block to be mined is subjected to a sequence of four steps. Step one consists of clearing and burning of vegetation. In step two, the block is stripped of overburden and the overburden is stockpiled. Step three consists of mining the limestone and step four involves re- clamation. Backfilling the mined out areas is chal- lenging because of the vertical walls created by moving the limestone deposit. As a tract is mined and reclamation begins, overburden is taken from stockpiled areas and placed against the vertical walls formed by mining. The overburden is graded to create gentle slopes which will minimize erosion and accomplish revegetation. Revegetating the graded area is complicated be- cause of the various sizes of rock fragments as- sociated with the sand, sandy clay and clay overburden. However, when the Radar Hill Quarry is completely reclaimed, the final appearance and usefulness of the site for recreation and wildlife habitat is expected to fulfill the objective of the min- ing plan. MINING AND PROCESSING The Suwannee Limestone located at the Radar Hill Quarry in the Withlacoochee State Forest is mined by conventional dry, open-pit mining methods. Removal of the overburden materials, including organic sands, sandy clay and clays, is conducted by use of large pans and bulldozers. Material not needed for immediate reclamation work is stored in spoil piles adjacent to an active mining area for future reclamation activities, Use of a large bulldozer with a material ripper attachment is employed next in order to reduce the height of the vertical faces to 45 feet or less prior to drilling and blasting. This height reduction is a safety procedure used to protect the employees and equipment working near an active vertical face in the event of a slope failure. Conventional air rotary drill rigs using down hole air hammers are used to drill a blasting pattern, which is loaded with explosives for initial disruption and size reduction of the raw material in place. The quarried raw material is then loaded on large off-highway haul trucks by use of track mounted shovels and rubber-tired loaders (Figure 10). Next, loaded raw material is transported to the primary roll crusher for further size reduction and beneficiation of the plant feed. Beneficiation is performed in three steps: scrubbing the material free of sand, clays, and other unwanted material; secondary crushing; and separation into size fractions by conveyor before stockpiling. The sized material is then blended from the stockpiles 46
