SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Tarmac
America L.L.C. (Tarmac) proposes to
construct a limestone mine in Levy
County, Florida to produce FDOT- and
commercial-grade limestone aggregate
for markets within west-central Florida.
As proposed, direct impacts of up to
2,069 acres of wetlands and 1,818 acres
of uplands would occur directly from
limestone extraction, material
stockpiling, roads, and other
infrastructure over a period of
approximately 100 years. At present, the
majority of the property is an actively
managed timber operation, with most of
the site in varying developmental stages
of pine plantation and mixed
hardwood/pine forest. Much of the
surrounding land is in silviculture use,
with scattered residential parcels. The
information compiled in this EIS will be
used by the USACE to determine
whether the proposed activities should
be authorized and permitted by the
USACE. Tarmac would need to obtain a
Department of the Army permit
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. This Final EIS evaluates the
potential environmental impacts
associated with a no action alternative,
and seven onsite action alternatives,
including Tarmac’s preferred alternative
above. Under the seven other
alternatives analyzed in the Final EIS,

lengths of time upon issuance of a
Record of Decision.
