Well Site Work
Summer of 2012
New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc.
continues to develop relationships with
many members of the gas industry. In late
June and early July, NES&L Co., Inc. was
working on seven different sites for four
different gas companies.
In Lycoming County, Range Resources has
provided opportunity for NES&L Co., Inc.
on two sites: Shipman and Cornwall. These
are both well pad sites with access roads
which affords NES&L Co., Inc. employees
to work on grading, drainage, erosion &
sedimentation, and stone base operations.
These projects are hard bid projects with
multiple bidders, and the lowest qualified
bidder is awarded the work.
in the Lycoming County area. The Elbow
Access Road site is a real challenge in that it
snakes its way up a hollow with a high
quality stream on one side and the hillside
on the other. With a 10 percent grade, the
drainage and erosion & sedimentation
installation is critical. NES&L Co., Inc.
Crews have worked closely with Anadarko
to address concerns as the work has
progressed.
Continued on page 7
PVR Midstream is involved with the
gathering of gas via pipelines from the
various well sites in the Lycoming County
region and then pumping it to markets
on the east coast. Our work with PVR
has been with compressor station sites.
We were involved with the construction
of the Red Bend Site and the upgrade of
the Ogontz West site. We are involved
with grading, drainage, erosion &
sedimentation, and stone base operations
for PVR.
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation has
issued contracts to NES&L Co., Inc. for the
Elbow Access Road site and the Ann C.
Good well pad site. Both of these sites are

NES&L Co., Inc. Honored
With Role In Flight 93 Memorial
Getting ready for the Flight 93 Memorial
Dedication was both an honor and
privilege for New Enterprise Stone &
Lime Co., Inc. The road work was done
with pride and respect for the heroes of
Flight 93.
Our Crews were challenged to stay on
schedule and meet the needs of the
National Park Service. The National
Park Service was pleased with NES&L
Co., Inc.’s work and continued to add
extra work to the project. The job was
inspected with a fine-toothed comb in
preparation for the event, and many last
minute changes were made to the
landscape and roadway.
With sincere adoration for
the heroes of Flight 93,
Brian Ormsby, Loy
Kreider, Tim Mason, Mike
Brown, Carol Will, and
everyone who was
involved with the project
made it a huge success.
An estimated 21,000 people
crossed through the new gate and
traveled the roadway off of Route 30 to
pay their respects. The Memorial
Dedication for the new monument was
held on September 10, 2011, and the
Memorial Service for the heroes of
Flight 93 was held on September 11,
2011. All of those present during the two
days displayed a high level of
patriotism.
Key speakers
included George W.
Bush, Bill Clinton,
and Vice President
Joe Biden. Former
President Bush
spoke of the way he
felt the day of the
2
attacks and how he felt
about that day 10
years later. He spoke
of the passengers and
crew as true American
heroes. He also
touched on the way
that day has affected
each and every one of
us in a different way.
Mr. Bush commented
on how pleased he
was with the memorial
and how he felt a true
sense of pride when
entering.
Flight 93 Memorial Stone: At the request of the families of those aboard Flight 93, NES&L
Co., Inc., in cooperation with the National Park Service, placed this stone at the impact site.
Pictured, front: Deborah Borza and Calvin Wilson. Pictured, back: Patrick White; Rich Keller,
Alpha Corp.; Tim Mason; Greg Maugen; Mike Brown; Brian Ormsby; and Warren Shatzer.
Like the other former president,
Bill Clinton told his own story of
that day and compared the Flight
93 passengers and crew to those
who fought the Alamo. He also
stated that he and Speaker of the
House John Boehner would join
together to raise the additional 10
million dollars needed to complete
the memorial.
Vice President Joe Biden
addressed the families
in speech much of the
time, expressing his
gratitude and also his
understanding of their
losses as he referred to
the death of his own
son. He also said that the memorial
made him feel proud and he hoped that
it gave the families a sense of closure.
All three speakers outined the great
effect that day 10 years ago had on the
economy and how our armed forces
have given so much in the past 10 years.
They stated that as Americans, we
should all be proud.
As part of the memorial services, the
wall of names was unveiled and a bell
was rung for each name. Singer, song
writer Sarah McLaughlin sang two of
her hits, “I Will Remember” and “In the
Arms of an Angel”.
After the dedication, family members
filled the walkway at the wall of names
and slowly all walked down the “flight
path” and through the gate to the sacred
ground where they all gathered
at the rock that was placed by
New Enterprise Stone & Lime
Co., Inc. and the National Park
Service as a permanent marker
for their loved ones.

Building A Strong Future ... Together
Transportation Funding
Progress
On the federal transportation front we
have a two-year transportation bill in
place. The good news is that in the short
term our industry can see that funding
levels are being maintained at levels
similar to what has been in place for the
last eight years. The bad news is that
with annual inflation, these transportation
funds purchase less and less highway
work. Our industry has moved its
primary focus from the expansion of
highways to maintenance of highways.
This change in focus is helping the
government to stretch the limited
funding available for highways.
There is a continued unwillingness
by our elected officials to address the
shortfall in actual funding needed.
This unwillingness continues to
contribute to the highway maintenance
gap. Less money spent on highway
upkeep while the wear and tear of those
highways continues to increase. This
gap is developing into a potential
transportation crisis/opportunity for
future generations to resolve. How long
can we hang on? Hopefully long
enough to see some positive change.
On the state level there is one bright note:
Our legislature has finally passed P3
legislation. P3 is short for Public Private
Partnership. This legislation, sponsored
by Representative Rick Geist, allows for
August - September 2012
private investors to get involved with
funding highway upgrades or
expansions while being able to recoup
their investments with the use of tolling
or fees on those improved facilities.
One possible example would be an
upgrade of the I-95 corridor in southeast
Pennsylvania. This road could be the
benefactor of a large private investor
funding an upgrade to the corridor
while utilizing current tolling
technology to recover the initial
investment plus interest.
P3’s alone are not the answer to
our highway maintenance
issues in Pennsylvania, but there
is a role that P3’s can and will
play in helping to close some of the
“gap” that currently exists.
The sad fact is that highway funds on
both the state and national levels are
shrinking. The tried and true funding
formula of the last 50 years no longer
provides predictable funding levels with
reasonable growth. We have to face the
fact that better fuel mileage and increased
use of alternate fuels are having a major
impact on highway revenues.
Unless something is done to define and
then capture a “fair share” from users of
our highways, the funding gap will
continue to grow.
ASTI provided the portable Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) on the 405
Freeway closure in Los Angeles,
California, that occured July 2011. ITS
components included portable video
trailers, portable message board trailers,
portable queue detection trailers, GPRS
digital cellular communication to all
devices in the field, and a project webpage.
The project webpage was designed with
two versions. One was available in a
view only format for the public so they
could trip plan, and the other format
provided complete control of all devices
to the Department of Transportation
personnel and prime contractor on the
project. The prime contractor was Kiewit,
who was also the contractor for ASTI.
This project was the first ever to integrate
an outside vendor into the Caltrans
Advanced Traffic Management System.
ASTI provided custom software
applications that allowed the prime
contractor to control the message
boards. In addition, Caltrans personnel
had the ability to plug these devices into
their own permanent ITS software at the
Traffic Management Center.
Historically, Caltrans has never opened
themselves up to allow others in. ASTI
also had a contract in place with AT&T
providing the cellular coverage for the
GPRS modems that allowed them to place
these devices on Caltrans’ custom Access
Point Name, meaning all of these devices
resided on their own private network.
The end result of all of this was that
Caltrans and the prime contractor had
complete control of all field devices that
plugged into their backend systems for a

Safety Department:
Venomous Snakes In Pennsylvania
Whether you love or hate snakes, they are
something that most of us will encounter
at some point in our lives. Many of us
may see an occasional non-venomous
snake in our yard like a milk snake,
garter snake, water snake or black
snake. Fewer of us still may encounter
a venomous snake in our travels.
Of the over twenty species of snakes
considered to be native here in
Pennsylvania, only three are
venomous. These venomous
snakes include the Timber
Rattlesnake, the Northern
Copperhead and the Eastern
Massasauga Rattlesnake. Venomous
snakes, commonly referred to as
poisonous snakes, have some unique
characteristics which identify them as
such. These characteristics include a heat
sensing pit located between the eye and
nostril, vertical, elliptical eye pupils, a
more triangular shaped head, a single
row of scales on the underside of the
tail, and most often a set of rattles for
the rattlesnakes mentioned above.
The Timber Rattlesnake and Northern
Copperhead are the two venomous
species most commonly found in our
area of central Pennsylvania, while the
endangered Eastern Massasauga
Rattlesnake is found in several of the
western-most counties. These and all other
snakes in Pennsylvania are considered
protected under the Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission regulations. The
Timber Rattlesnake is further protected
under additional regulations. Much of
the contracted work that New Enterprise
Stone & Lime Co., Inc. is granted has
additional regulations or clarifications
relating to how we are to deal with
snakes that we encounter during the
duration of our work. This or any article
may not make much of an impact on
how you would deal with a snake
4
encounter, but being educated, informed
and responsible goes a long way.
Venomous snakes, like others, are
generally not interested in making any
encounters with humans. Most often
when encountered, they will try to
remain camouflaged, slither away or
warn you. When they are threatened,
startled or provoked, however, they will
likely strike as a last resort.
A snake can generally strike at a
distance of one third of its body
length or longer and not necessarily
from a coiled position. As a
venomous snake strikes, it can deliver
a dose of poisonous venom through
hollow fangs into its victim.
One who has received a bite from any
snake --venomous or not --should seek
medical attention as soon as possible.
Non-venomous snakes can deliver a
laceration bite that can soon lead to an
infection of the bite area. Treatments of
old, like sucking out the venom by
mouth, cutting the bite area and
allowing it to drain or applying a
tourniquet should not be performed.
One of the most difficult things to do at
this time --yet one of the most important
--is to remain calm. Try to elevate the
bite above the heart if possible. If you
are navigating alone, at least have a way
to communicate with someone that can
offer or summon help.
As a matter of comparison, of about 8,000
reported venomous snake bites each
year across the United States, generally
less than a dozen result in death. The
Rattlesnake is responsible for the most
fatal snake bites and reportedly has the
most deadly venom. About one-half of
the reported bites occurred in children.
The best form of treatment remains…
Prevention. If you are going into an area
that is known for snake habitat, such as
a wooded, bushy or rocky area that is
generally not often shared with human
habitat, snakes are more likely to be
found in these locations. Here is where
it is best to use caution.
Wear appropriate clothing like long,
loose fitting pants and leather boots. If
possible, wear snake gaiters or chaps. As
most bites occur to the ankles, feet and
hands, be especially cautious when
running, jumping or climbing as this
doesn’t give much warning to snakes

MARCELLUS FAST FACTS
The Marcellus Shale formation is thought to be the second largest natural gas
field in the world.
The Marcellus production focuses on five states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, New York, and Maryland.
To protect groundwater resources, Marcellus wells must be encased with
multiple layers of steel and concrete.
The Marcellus is about a mile below the surface.
Marcellus producers have paid more than one billion dollars in taxes since 2006,
according to Pennsylvania’s Department of Revenue.

support from Forepersons Dave Pearce,
Jim Leabhart, Steve Heath, Shawn

On our site in Bradford County, Bill

Northern Division has provided some
helpful supervison by making Dale
Kingsbury available to work with
Foreperson Jamie Brooks at our Postell
site. This has allowed Kevin to stay
closer to the center of the activity in
Lycoming County.
Our work has been fairly steady during
the spring and early summer, but these
projects only last a few weeks and we
are always looking for the next
opportunity. Hopefully they will
continue to come to keep New

Statement Now Includes
Discloser Of Fees
The July 401(k) statement New
Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc.
employees received from Wells Fargo
had new notable information. Much of
the new information was related to the
disclosure of fees which is mandated by
the IRS. In the past, NES&L Co., Inc. has
always included fees as part of the
services. The IRS now requires
participant fees to be disclosed. The
following Q&A should hopefully
answer questions you have from this
statement. You can always call Wells
Fargo or CBIZ at the numbers on the
last page of your 401(k) statement.
Question: On the first page of my
statement in the Account Summary
section are four lines of fees listed
under Reductions.
1. What is a Loan Fee?
A loan fee is charged when you take a
loan. The fee is $8.25 charged every
calendar quarter for the length of each
loan.
2. What is an Asset Fee?
The Asset Fee is charged by the stable
value fund. This is billed on your
monthly balance but appears quarterly
on your statement.
3. What is the Third Party Service Fee?
This fee is charged by the investment
advisors to the plan by LAMCO and
CBIZ. LAMCO assists the plan trustees
with funds selections for the plan and
CBIZ assists the employee with the fund
selection for their own individual
accounts. This fee is also charged to
participants in the M&T Balanced Fund
and Pier Small Cap Growth Fund.
Question: Why do the stable fund,
M&T and Pier charge a fee to my
account and the other funds do not?
All the funds charge fees to your
account. These three funds are not
mutual funds and, therefore, cannot
extract fees in the automated daily
process that mutual funds do. They
have a manual fee process and,
therefore, appear on your statement
as a dollar amount.
Question: What is a Trustee/Custodian
Fee?
This fee is charged by Wells Fargo to
run the 401(k) plan record keeping
services.
Question: Why do I see the Florida
Stamp Tax on the “Additional Fee
Information”?
Any plan that allows loans will have
the Florida stamp tax fee listed. If a
participant takes a loan and has a
Florida address, this tax will need to
be paid. Before we actually charge

Email Etiquette
Email is professional business
communication delivered electronically.
Although the delivery method may
seem informal, that doesn’t mean the
content should be. The usual rules of
good writing apply to email. Before you
“send,” take a moment to consider:
Is this the most efficient / effective
way to communicate? If your subject
is complicated and will require a
long explanation, why not pick up
the phone or deliver the message in
person. Email is best for quick bursts
of information.
Liability: Are you sending something
that could get you / your organization
in legal trouble? Some recent court
decisions have included email as
evidence. If you have something
highly confidential to send, use the
U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, UPS, etc.
Use a descriptive subject line: Don’t
make people guess why you’re
writing. Tell them up front. If your
subject isn’t clear or your subject line
is blank, your email might get caught
in a SPAM filter.
Write to the point: Start by writing
what you want to say without
worrying about grammar. When
you’re done, read what you’ve
written. Does it make your point? If
you’ve included unnecessary detail,
delete it.
Use proper spelling, grammar and
punctuation: Although email is
somewhat informal, you should
still proofread and use the spell
checker. Incorrect grammar and
poorly-written sentences can distract
your recipient(s) from understanding
your message.
Use the Mom Test: How would you
feel if your Mom read your message?
If she’d be embarrassed by what you
wrote, rewrite or delete the content
that would offend her.
Answer all questions: If you’re
responding to questions, include the
original email in your reply. You can
cut and paste text, answering
questions in a different color or
typeface to highlight your responses.
Use templates and graphics
sparingly: Some people may not be
able to view your templates or
graphics. If your graphic doesn’t
“translate,” your recipient(s) will see
a big red X.
Don’t write when angry: If you
write an angry email, don’t send it.
Be considerate and assume that
others have good intentions.
Employee Assistance Program
The purpose of the Employee Assistance Program, EAP, is to make assistance available in
overcoming personal problems and improving performance. Areas of assistance can include:
. Marital And Family . Financial And Legal . Stress And Change . Personal Performance
Improvement . Anxiety Or Depression . Alcohol Or Drug Abuse . Personal Problems Or
Conflicts . Grief Or Loss . Weight Control Or Eating Disorders .Smoking Cessation

Don’t joke: Unless you know your
recipient(s), avoid using humor. Use
emoticons like smiley (☺) or
frowning () faces sparingly.
Don’t use ALL CAPITALS: This is
the electronic equivalent of shouting
at someone. If you wouldn’t do that
in “real life,” don’t do it via email.
TEXT IN ALL CAPS IS DIFFICULT
TO READ.
Don’t forward: Does everyone
REALLY want or need to read that
cute / touching story? When most
people forward emails, they include
the email addresses of dozens of
people. This opens up everyone on
that list to email hacking, SPAM or
viruses that could destroy their
computers.
Don’t CC or Reply to All: YOU may
think that everyone MUST read this
message. Would all of your recipients
agree? If you’re thanking one person
for doing something, do 12 other
people really need to read that?
Don’t open or reply to SPAM or
junk mail: It only encourages more
SPAM / junk mail.
Don’t send e-mail if it’s longer than
one page: Pick up the phone instead.
Don’t assume that you have
privacy: Laws differ from state to
state and litigation is ongoing. All
email communications sent from an
employer’s server are considered the
property of your employer.

Many Changes This Year For
Construction Supply Centers
NES&L Co., Inc.’s Construction
Supply Centers (CSC) in Roaring
Spring and Everett on Mile Level,
are undergoing many changes
this year. These stores were brought
back under NES&L Co., Inc.
management beginning in March 2011.
Since then, our group has been
diligently working to increase sales,
decrease costs, improve customer
service, and increase profits. While these
would seem to be big tasks alone, we’re
also working to improve our supplier
base, purchase smarter, and to debug
the new, comprehensive computer
system known as ERP.
I’m excited about the
prospects for the
remainder of this year
and for the future as we
continue to make gains in these areas.
I’d like to thank the CSC team members
for their hard work and patience
through the transition. I’d especially like
to thank the operating divisions for
allowing us to quote to supply materials
for their projects. If I can be of any
assistance to our internal customers,
please call me at extension 4227.
Snakes ... continued
Disclosure ... continued
that you are about to occupy their space.
If traveling in a group, have children
positioned in the middle of the pack, not
leading or trailing.
Also, snakes tend to be the most active
as darkness falls. Ironically, this is when
humans are less likely to spot snakes in
their path. Snakes may also warm
themselves on a heat soaked surface after
dark, so beware of these spots as you have
an evening stroll. A simple walking stick
can alert your presence and ward off
most snakes as you make your way.
Being informed of the dangers of
venomous snakes, where they most
frequently can be found and how to
avoid them can make for a better
experience next time you choose to visit
your favorite Pennsylvania wilds or
backyard wood pile. Remember, unless
you go out in search of snakes, they
don’t want to encounter you any more
than you want to encounter them.

Manager of Construction Supply Centers
against a participant’s account or
they see the deduction, we need to
disclose this information in advance.
Although this isn’t a fee Wells Fargo
collects, it is something that could be
deducted from the account if a loan
is taken. The general idea is to
disclose to the participant what a
loan will cost which could include
the Florida stamp tax for Florida
residents.
Question: In the investment
performance section starting on Page 6,
what’s the difference between “Gross”
and “Net” expenses in the right hand
column?
Gross expenses are what the mutual
funds are allowed by prospectus to
charge the fund. Net expenses is what
is actually charged. Sometimes there
are discounts provided by the funds.

NES&L Co., Inc. Participates In “Touch A Truck”
On Saturday, June 23, New Enterprise
Stone & Lime Co., Inc. participated in
the first annual “Touch a Truck”, an
event held in the parking lot of Peoples’
Natural Gas field, home of the Altoona
Curve. Kids were able to climb aboard
and explore trucks and equipment such
as fire trucks, garbage trucks, an Amtran
bus, tow truck and much more.
Proceeds from this event went to The
Nehemiah Project, which is a faith-based
community development organization
committed to assisting underprivileged
and blighted neighborhoods with
services designed to enhance residents’
lives, their community environments,
and their families.
Thanks to Daryl Phipps and Luke Baker
for helping out during the event.

Relay For Life Team Wraps Up Successful Year
The New Enterprise Stone &
Lime Co., Inc. Relay for Life
Team has wrapped up
another successful year. By
holding various fundraisers,
such as jean days, raffles, pie
and gob sales, the NES&L
Co., Inc. Team was able to
give over $8500 to the American Cancer
Society at the Cove Relay for Life.
This year’s event was held June 22-23,
2012, at the Roaring Spring Athletic
Field. The theme was “Board Games” and
the team from New Enterprise Stone &
Lime Co., Inc. chose to decorate their
campsite with “Scrabble” letters. NES&L
Co., Inc. had several survivors recognized
during the Survivor Lap at the Evening
Ceremonies and the Torch Walk.
Hope Lodge, I Can Cope, and Look
Good … Feel Better.
American Cancer Society also helps in
other ways. The funds raised also go
toward other programs, such as the
We welcome new members to our team
from any division within the Company
and their spouses or other family
members. The team would like new
fundraising ideas or someone to head a
fundraiser. If you are interested in
helping the NES&L Relay for Life Team,
please contact Chelsy Hart at 766-2211
extension 3422.
The NES&L Relay for Life Team is not
just about one weekend every year that
we gather to walk for 24 hours. It is
about working together as a team
throughout the year to prepare for that
one weekend in which we can present a
gift to those who have fought cancer.
It is about helping others throughout the
year, giving care baskets to patients
receiving treatments; holding events in
memory of those we lost and in honor
of those who won. It is important for us
to join together and celebrate what we
can achieve as a team. Our team needs
to join people with a variety of talents to
meet the common goal we all share …
helping find a cure. But just finding a
cure is not the only thing the NES&L
Team is helping provide. The local

From the NES&L Co., Inc. November-December 1959 / January 1960 Enterpriser archives:
The problem of hauling prestressed concrete beams is vividly portrayed in the [left] photo as a company tractor-trailer, driven
by Thomas Zimmerman, is eased around a corner --with no space to spare --in Clearfield. The 75-foot long beam is one of 50
delivered to a job on Route 17038 across the Susquehanna River near Clearfield.
Erection is swift as trailers deliver beams across spans already in place. The ten beams making up a span are removed from the
