This significant sector of the aggregates supply is little understood and quantified in Nottinghamshire. Every effort should be made to improve quantification, as has been done in Dorset. With the decline of coal powered electrical generation there willl be a further decline in available secondary minerals. It would surely make sense for a full survey to identify and quantify fly ash etc that has been used as land fill etc in the past and which could be made available in the future. Available material in slag heaps also needs to be quantified and assessed.
