A total of 1.2 billion short tons of crushed stone was produced in the United States in 1989, a 2.8% decrease compared with the estimated 1988 total. This tonnage represents the third consecutive year of production over 1.2 billion tons, indicating a continuation of the strong demand for construction aggregates. About three-quarters of the crushed stone production continued to be limestone and dolomite, followed by granite, traprock, sandstone and quartzite, miscellaneous stone, marble, shell, calcareous marl, volcanic cinder and scoria, and slate, in order of volume. Foreign trade of crushed stone remained relatively minor. The new regulatory requirements being proposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) constitute major areas of concern for the crushed stone industry.
