Abstract:This study identified and inventoried ODOT-owned and leased aggregate sites throughout the state, assessing the
quality and estimated quantity of material. In addition, an aggregate needs forecast was prepared, projecting that
60,801,320 Mg of aggregate will be required for paving projects, bridge rehabilitation and reconstruction, OTIA
modernization projects, and maintenance needs over the next 15 years.
A comparison was made between the 15-year forecast and the estimated reserve from potentially significant
and/or key sites for each District. In seven of the Districts, the estimated reserve exceeds the forecast need.
However, in the other eight districts the need exceeds the reserve. In Districts 2B, 3, 5, 11 and 13 the estimated
reserve is significantly less than the forecast demand.
Estimated reserves were based on field calculations. This study considered only sources of high quality rock
suitable as base rock, paving and reinforced concrete structures, and did not address ODOT needs for sand and
lower quality fill materials. In addition, the study did not determine whether or not a site is actually usable. A
closer look at the distribution of sites and reserves in the study shows that some areas of the state are resource
poor, and locations of large reserves do not necessarily match with the areas of highest projected need.
For state owned or leased aggregate sites considered potentially significant or otherwise strategically important,
ODOT should develop a program to protect those sites from future incompatible adjacent land uses. This would
include submitting a Post-Acknowledgment Plan Amendment (PAPA) application to the local governments
having jurisdiction over the sites.
