Question:
The nominated quarry "Mortons" is a blast quarry and has material suitable for road bases and angular rock suitable for car stop bollards etc. The quarry does not produce Basalt or Granite boulders suitable for constructing the stone retaining walls as detailed nor the river rock for the rock lined swales. Please confirm if the angular rock is acceptable for the GR-2 Barriers to match the existing. (shortfall of at least 120 that will require import) and the rock walls for retaining purposes, this will move away from the nominated intent however
