Mark Hill, Cemex
Kirk McDonald, CalPortland
Katha Redmon, Graniterock
Panel Discussion - This panel of members from CalCIMA’s Technical
Committee will explore how to improve concrete specifications.
A work group of the committee has recently begun a series of
meetings with engineering firms to assess how they are specifying
concrete properties to assure intended performance. They are
learning what the issues and challenges engineers perceive
regarding concrete specifications, in-place performance and
acceptance. The work group is also ascertaining what ready mix
producers experience as the greatest problems in specifications.
The goal of the work group is to see how the ready mix industry
can help engineers and producers better achieve their goals. This
panel will explore what has been learned to date, where there is
promise, and what the ready mixed concrete industry can offer.
PORTLAND-LIMESTONE CEMENT COMING TO CALIFORNIAKirk McDonald, CalPortland
With ever increasing demands in green design and construction,
ready mixed concrete producers may soon have available a
new—and greener—cement option for their mixes. Type IL
Cement promises all the quality benefits of standard cements,
has international and national acceptance, and may soon be
coming to California.
ROLLER COMPACTED CONCRETE – CONCRETE PAVEMENT PLACED LIKE ASPHALT Debbie Haldeman, Cemex
Victor Cervantes, Cemex
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a no slump concrete
pavement that is placed by an asphalt type paver and
compacted with vibratory rollers similar to asphalt pavement
construction. RCC has a long history of good performance as a
pavement for ports, container yards, manufacturing plants, and
more recently, on local streets and roads. This presentation will
provide the history of RCC paving, review past RCC case study
projects, and discuss key aspects of construction techniques,
mix design and QA/QC test methods. This session will also
discuss the increased interest of this type of pavement in both
the public and private sectors and why.
NATURAL POZZOLANSJay Lukkarila, 3M
Natural Pozzolans have been used for thousands of years.
California was the first state to use a natural pozzolan within
concrete on a major project when the Los Angeles Aqueduct
was built (1910 – 1912). The City of LA produced cement at
their Monolith Cement plant, where they then interground the
Portland Cement with three different natural pozzolans at a
fifty-fifty blend which they then called “Tufa Cement.” There
were three separate natural pozzolan mines and grinding
plants along the Aqueduct. The concrete cured slower than
today’s concretes, but the concrete was more impervious than
concrete made with straight cement which has now lasted
over a hundred years. On October 5th, a Natural Pozzolan
Concrete Demonstration is scheduled at the 3M Mine/Plant
in Corona, California. Natural Pozzolans from around the
world will be used along with what might be California’s first
commercially available Natural Pozzolan to come onto the
market in over fifty years. This presentation will be a recap of
that demonstration.

With many changes and pressures on state transportation
policy, including budgetary, environmental, and aging
infrastructure, policies for state bridges are in transition.
How is the state addressing aging bridges? Is the state
looking at changes in concrete materials for bridges? How
are reducing funds affecting state bridges? What will be
the future emphasis on construction and maintenance?

Annual Meeting of MembersBoard of Directors ElectionBarry Coley, Escondido Materials
Breakfast SpeakerSTATE TRANSPORTATION FUNDINGSusan Bransen, CA Transportation Commission
Eric Thronson, CA Transportation Commission
The major issue continuing to dominate the transportation
community is obtaining adequate, reliable funding to keep
up with the state’s growing transportation needs. The future
of California’s economy and our quality of life depend on a
transportation system that provides safe, reliable, and efficient
travel for people and goods. Over the past decade, the
Commission has persistently urged the Administration and
Legislature to address the need for reliable and sustainable
funding to preserve and expand the state’s transportation
system. Proposals from both the Administration and the
Legislature were offered this past legislative session to
address both revenue and reforms to address California’s
transportation needs. None of these proposals have become
law, so the Commission and its partners are placed in the
difficult position of planning for the foreseeable future
to address increasing demands with fewer resources. This
growing crisis must be resolved.

10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.HUNTON & WILLIAMS GENERAL SESSION
UNDERSTANDING OUR WATER FOOTPRINT: SUSTAINABILITY IN THE PLANT AND THE COMMUNITYRoberta Reed, 3M
Nicole Krenner, 3M
3M’s sustainability goals include water conservation efforts
and engagement in the community regarding the topic of
water for sites that operate in areas that are classified as
water scarce. 3M Corona was the pilot plant for this process,
which includes understanding water sources, developing a
water balance, and engaging the local community with the
joint purposes of identifying water reduction projects at the
plant and finding ways to partner with the community in
water conservation efforts and/or education.
POWER BALLOT: HOW VOTERS CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOUR PROJECTBradley Johnson, Harrison Temblador Hungerford & Johnson
This presentation will focus on the interplay between CEQA,
project approvals, and the ballot initiative and referendum.
This talk will outline techniques to use the ballot to secure
project approvals, how to defend against adversarial ballot
measures, and the accompanying project process and
timing implications.
BEST PRACTICES IN YOUR COMPANY FOR CYBERSECURITYBill Capps, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell
Scott Brink, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell
Best practices in use by building materials companies
enforcing cybersecurity and protecting against data breaches.
Special problems relating to the industry will be explained as
well as solutions noted.
GRAVEL MINING FOR ECOSYSTEM RESTORATIONBrian Cluer, Ph.D., NOAA Fisheries
Gravel pits near rivers in floodplain deposits set up problems
that may last for geologic time periods, and are increasingly
difficult to permit. Along incised rivers, which are common
in developed valleys, it is possible to mine gravel while
creating ecologically functional and increasingly valuable
floodplain. A project along the Russian River in Sonoma
County is an example of a reclamation of pits to create
floodplain, however that floodplain could have been created
as the end product of the mining plan rather than requiring
restoration. This talk will present a mining concept that
could lead to increased success in permitting new mines
and valuable ecosystem restoration.
PROP. 65 WARNING REGULATIONS: MORE LITIGATION COMING?Malcolm Weiss, Hunton & Williams
Since 2013, Cal-EPA (OEHHA) has worked to amend the
method and content of so-called “safe harbor warnings.” If
such warnings are appropriately implemented, businesses
are shielded from Proposition 65 claims. The process started
after Governor Brown stated the law is “being abused by
unscrupulous lawyers,” and called for Cal-EPA to “work closely
with the Legislature and stakeholders to revamp Proposition
65 by ending frivolous ‘shake-down’ lawsuits, improving
how the public is warned about dangerous chemicals
and strengthening the scientific basis for warning levels.”
OEHHA issued multiple proposals to modify the warning
requirements. Each proposal was met with substantial
uproar from essentially every business sector in California.
Regardless, OEHHA’s regulations will likely become law. This
presentation discusses practical steps you may need to take
to comply with the new requirements, and explains how and
why the proposed regulations, at best do nothing to curb
frivolous law suits, and most likely will increase them.

CONFERENCE PROGRAM
presentation focuses on methods and procedures that
should be used to provide a defendable characterization
of recharge potential that can be used by the local
groundwater sustainability agency (GSA) to formulate
an optimum plan for the use of these detention basins
as effective recharge facilities; provide management
options for the proposed basin; and assist the GSA’s
management and protection of the groundwater asset
and meet the requirements of SGMA. Tools discussed
include: initial literature searches and development of
site conceptual models to identify data gaps to guide the
overall characterization; appropriate geophysical tools;
permeability testing both at surface and subsurface; key
parameters needed from aquifer testing; and methods to
account for volume of water added to the aquifers.
PREPARING FOR SUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT: RECHARGING GROUNDWATER FROM A WATER RIGHTS PERSPECTIVEDavid Cameron, Downey Brand, LLP
A review of the importance of groundwater recharge under
the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014,
methods by which groundwater recharge may occur, the
legal structures by which recharge may be accomplished,
and a discussion of fees and costs associated with
temporary versus long-term permits.
PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE - DON’T GET CAUGHT IN THE STORMPearce Swerdfeger, Sespe Consulting, Inc.
John Hecht, Sespe Consulting, Inc.
Under the new Industrial Storm Water General Permit,
operators that exceed the Numeric Action Levels (NALs)
will be required to take additional Exceedance Response
Actions (ERAs). Level 2 ERA Technical Reports may be a
few years away, however the time to start planning is
now. Technical Reports may include: detailed assessments
of both on and off-site potential pollutants, natural
background levels of pollutants, historical sample
data, geological and soil information, and evaluations
of advanced Best Management Practices (BMPs) cost
feasibility. The speakers will present analytical sampling
data trends from construction and industrial material
facilities throughout the State to help identify common
issues across these industries, including likely pollutant
sources and effectiveness of BMPs.

(ENVIRONMENTAL)
ARE YOU NEXT? HOW MINOR HAZARDOUS WASTE MISSTEPS CAN LEAD TO BIG ENFORCEMENT ACTIONSMichael Mills, Stoel Rives, LLP
California’s hazardous materials and waste regulations
contain myriad complex characterization and reporting
requirements. In addition, there are multiple levels of
enforcement authority at the federal, state and local levels.
This presentation will address the importance of adequate
waste management and disposal practices in members’
operations, and what a company should do if it is confronted
with an enforcement action by state or county officials.
STATE WATER BOARD PROPOSES SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR WETLANDS AND OTHER WATERSSamuel Brown, Hunton & Williams LLP
Tom Boer, Hunton & Williams LLP
An analysis on the State Water Resources Control Board’s
(Board) recently announced intention to implement a
Wetlands Area Protection and Dredge and Fill Permitting
Policy, which will revise California’s wetland regulatory
framework. The presentation will include an update on the
Board’s rulemaking effort; an examination of substantive
matters being addressed by the Board (e.g., an alternative
definition of “wetland” from federal law, differing
applicable standards for issuing permits authorizing work
in wetlands, and the Board’s preference for “on-site and in-
kind” mitigation versus off-site compensatory mitigation);
how the Board’s actions align with the stayed federal
WOTUS regulation; and, as appropriate, recommendations
for how to navigate any adopted Board regulations.

RECENT CEQA CHALLENGES RELATED TO AIR QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR PERMITTING MINESBruce Steubing, Benchmark Resources
Anne McQueen, Yorke Engineering, LLC
When completing air quality analysis under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), mine operators are
facing increasing variations in the way data, modeling, and
technical evaluations are presented to lead agencies and air
districts. Recent legal and regulatory developments in GHG
analysis, dispersion modeling, and health risk assessments
have complicated the process. The procedures for technical
evaluations are extremely complex and revisions based on
lead agency requests can be costly. This presentation will
include review of key CEQA air quality developments and the
challenges that operators are encountering. Presenters will
provide recommendations and strategies for preparing and
defending the air quality technical evaluations and use case
studies to present approaches for addressing these issues.

A NEW BUILDINGS MARKET COALITION IN CALIFORNIA IS STRIVING TO PROTECT AND GAIN MARKET SHARE Tom Tietz, California Nevada Cement Association
The buildings market in California is facing an array of
challenges and opportunities. There are threats from
competing materials, projected growth for decades and
growing demand for resiliency. A new coalition of cement and
concrete stakeholders has formed to assure that our industry
is addressing these challenges. This presentation will describe
the state and national entities that are now working together
as a coalition to specifically focus on California. The core areas
of collaboration, current activities and goals for the future will
also be presented for discussion.
HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE FOR MODERN BUILDINGSMark Bury, BASF Construction Chemicals
To keep up with the timber construction industry, the
concrete construction industry must adapt to ever-faster
construction schedules, tighter worksites and intense
competition for a shrinking construction labor supply.
Modern low-rise and medium-rise buildings in urban, in-fill
settings require concrete that is “greener,” easier to pump,
place and finish, increases labor productivity and lowers
safety risks for contractors. Concrete made with binary
and ternary blends is sustainable, durable, and promotes
resilient structures. Modern concrete mixes can develop
strength in as little as a few hours, allowing rapid construction
progress. Innovative concrete mixes can reduce the total
manpower required on a given project, especially if there are
architectural requirements and/or dense steel reinforcement
in the structural elements.
More concrete promotion talks to be announced. Go to www.calcima.org for conference updates.

‘THE PITFALLS AND THE PROFITS’ IN LOAD OUT REDUCE TIME AND INCREASE YOUR PROFITABILITY Jacob Daniel, Sitech West
Mike Mayer, Trimble Loadrite
Every time we touch quarry products with plant and
equipment, it increases costs in wages, tire wear, fuel usage,
and machine hours. Therefore, we need to minimize our
interaction with quarry products by automating processes
where possible, and when manual processes are required
understanding them fully to maximize production output
and quarry reliability. This presentation will explore the key
issues for stockpile management and load out and discuss
the benefits that may be realized in utilizing available
technologies. Some of the key issues include: Measuring
and improving load out cycle times within a quarry site; the
real costs of delays in loading and weigh bridge holdups;
unnecessary fuel costs from inefficiencies in the load out
process; how automating and streamlining load out can
benefit your business; and how to get real efficiencies in
your mobile plant and equipment.
IMPLEMENTATION OF RADIO TELEMETRY BASED INTEGRATED MONITORING NETWORKS Angela Brush, Brown and Caldwell
Long term groundwater and surface water monitoring is on
the rise especially with the recent Sustainable Groundwater
Management Act. Radio telemetry monitoring networks
allows for reduction of field labor costs and improves
collection efficiency. This talk offers expertise in developing
customized networks for continuous monitoring from
various sondes. The speaker will give a short presentation on
the installation, programming, data display, and benefits of
these networks.
MOBILE AND FIXED EQUIPMENT – REMOTE CONDITION MONITORING AND ASSET MANAGEMENT IN AGGREGATE AND MINING INDUSTRY Gustavo Guerrero, SKF, USA, Inc.
Greg Ziegler, SKF, USA, Inc.
Over the years, the mining & aggregate industry has
incorporated a variety of maintenance programs, techniques
and new technologies to better service machines. However
maintaining mobile equipment has always been complex,
generating a need for new technologies, knowledge and
special techniques to reduce maintenance cost. Maintaining
mobile equipment based on fixed interval component
replacements and overhauls - is rapidly dying as this is
resulting in high cost maintenance. At the same time
Condition Monitoring techniques utilized to monitor
remotely mobile assets have developed significantly as
improved technology and data processors and storage
have become available. Early adaptors in the aggregate
industry have incorporated these technologies and
techniques, resulting not only on higher reliability, but also
have generated an extended amount of knowledge and
practices. This talk focuses on the technologies, techniques
and knowledge applied by early-adaptors to monitor critical
mobile equipment such as draglines, front loaders and haul
trucks successfully. The talk will explain the technical aspect
of each technology and show two real-time cases of fleets
being monitored remotely.
MANAGING STORMWATER ON INDUSTRIAL SITES: BMP SELECTION, EVALUATION, AND IMPLEMENTATIONRyan Janoch, Mapistry
The construction and building materials industry has
been dealing with a new industrial stormwater permit in
California. As part of the permit, companies need to be
constantly evaluating their Best Management Practices
(BMPs) based on site inspections and water quality data.
This presentation will focus on identifying, evaluating and
selecting BMPs for industrial sites. Technical considerations
will be discussed, including identifying and implementing
the appropriate non-structural and structural BMPs, such
as filtration media and active treatment systems. The use of
technology to identify problem areas in your stormwater
program will be discussed to highlight how portfolios of
sites can be managed. The presentation will also dive into
the technical aspects of BMP selection and installation
depending on potential pollutant type and site conditions.
In addition, the iterative process of BMP selection and
modification based on inspection, maintenance and
sampling results also will be covered.
SOLAR GENERATION AND QUARRIES: A CASE STUDY Dana Riggs, WRA, Inc.
Roy Phillips, REP Energy, Inc.
Advances in solar technology, design, and installation
provide the opportunity for a mutualistic partnership
between quarry operators and solar developers. Solar
generation facilities are now more economically viable

than ever before, and quarries provide large areas of
underutilized land that may be ideally suited for such
facilities. Partnerships with solar developers can help
diversify and maximize economic returns from quarry sites,
while both quarries and solar developers can benefit from a
unique environmental regulatory setting that can be more
favorable to solar development compared to other existing
land uses. Speakers will present a case study of a new
solar generation facility on a reclaimed quarry in northern
California. The project was carefully designed to address
and overcome any challenges to ensure that all reclamation
plan success criteria were met.

(SMARA MODERNIZATION)
2016 SURFACE MINING AND RECLAMATION ACT REFORMPat Perez, Office of Mine Reclamation
On April 18, 2016, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed into
law two major mining bills. The newly-signed bills - SB 209
by Senator Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills) and AB 1142 by
Assemblymember Adam Gray (D-Merced) were the result of
a long stakeholder process. The new mining law will ensure
that mine operators restore lands to a natural or usable
condition after mining production ends. An overview of
the key elements as well as the amendments and changes
to the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) will be
covered with a timetable for developing the implementing
regulations to achieve the goals outlined in the 2016
SMARA reform.
SMARA MODERNIZATION: WHAT OPERATORS
SHOULD KNOWKerry Shapiro, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP
Matthew Sanders, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP
This presentation will focus on the most significant
upcoming changes to SMARA for operators under AB
1142 and SB 209. While the structure of SMARA remains
largely unchanged, there are major changes to how
financial assurances and reclamation plans are reviewed
and approved, what must be included in reclamation
plans, what may be appealed and by whom, fees, and other
aspects of California surface mining law. The presentation
will help operators understand these changes, avoid
potential pitfalls, and anticipate further regulatory updates.

GRAVEL TO GREEN: AN INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIP. CACHE CREEK AREA PLAN Michael Smith, Teichert, Inc.
Nancy Ullrey, Cache Creek Conservancy
Elisa Sabatini, Yolo County
In the late 1990’s, a battle was brewing in Yolo County
between the aggregate industry operating within Cache
Creek and environmentalists. When put to the ballot, Measure
D passed which forced mining out of the creek but allowed
it to continue on adjacent lands where reserves remained.
In addition, a collaborative program between Yolo County,
the private sector aggregate industry and the non-profit
Cache Creek Conservancy was put into place to conserve
creek resources and facilitate the extraction of valuable and
necessary aggregate building materials. 2016 marks the
20 year anniversary of the Cache Creek Area Plan and this
innovative partnership. During the past 20 years, a great deal
of data has been gathered and lessons learned along the way,
all of which will be explained in detail by representatives of
each of the three partnerships involved in its implementation.

BREAKOUT #2 (AB219 COMPLIANCE)
COMPLYING WITH AB 219—CHALLENGES AND PITFALLSJon Welner, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP
An Nguyen Ruda, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP
AB 219 took effect on July 1. As a result, deliveries of ready-
mix concrete to “public works” are now subject to the
California Prevailing Wage Law. This interactive session will
focus on the numerous compliance issues being experienced
by ready-mix producers. We will review the basics of
complying with AB 219; address specific issues that have
come up in the last few months; and discuss possible future
developments. The session will also address how prevailing
wage rates are set by the State, and how ready-mix producers
can influence the process. These presenters are experts in
legal and human resources aspects of prevailing wage.

to allow participants and panelists to ask questions and share ideas.
