Ohio Aggregates & Industrial Minerals Association

http://www.oaima.org

With over 200 member companies, OAIMA producers account for nearly 150 million tons of limestone, sand and gravel aggregates, salt, clay and other minerals mined in Ohio each year. Aggregates and industrial minerals mined in Ohio include: limestone and sand and gravel for roads, bridges, asphalt and concrete; clay and shale for brick and block; gypsum for wallboards; industrial sand for drinking water and wastewater treatment; and salt for melting ice in the winter and softening our water at home. Agricultural lime, also from mining, allows farmers to enhance their soils, increase production, and decrease the dependence on fertilizers and pesticides, leading to a cleaner environment. Each Ohio resident requires over 11 tons (about a dump truck load) per year of minerals mined locally in Ohio. Nearly one-half of all aggregates are paid for with tax dollars. “If it can’t be grown, it has to be mined!”
