Richard,

It is interesting that you indicate that the cement plant in Superior has been 
gone for several years. If you look at the current Google satellite view of 
Superior, what appears to be a cement loading plant is quite prominent with a 
number of covered hoppers spotted for loading and a lot of white material all 
over the ground in the vicinity.
