There are enough agg producers around Calgary to cover it if need be. Off the top of my head there are 10 either in Calgary or within 30 minutes, who all produce around 1 000 000 ton of various products per year. If they pull from one stockpile they can realistically replace it fairly quickly if need be. No one has been running 24/7 but I have a feeling that's going to change.
