The "Save the Rain" Program is a comprehensive stormwater management plan intended to reduce pollution to Onondaga Lake and its tributaries. Kinsella Quarries materials are used to help create permeable surfaces, which allows rain to move through asphalt and into a rock layer placed below the pavement. Permeable surfaces protect Onondaga Lake and its tributaries from pollution and stormwater runoff.
Land Reclamation - As a steward of the earth's resources, Kinsella Quarries recognizes that our responsibility to the environment continues throughout the life of a quarry and beyond. The work of a quarry is never truly finished until it has been returned to a natural state of balance with its surroundings.
