The San Rafael Rock Quarry Dutra Group Materials Division mineral rights have been purchased by CRH, a 90 year old Ireland-based materials company and was reported on the front page of the Marin IJ today (January 14, 2025). The Dutra Group will remain the owner of the San Rafael Rock Quarry property, while CRH will be a partner with the Dutra Group via owning the Bay Area materials mining operations in San Rafael, Richmond and Petaluma.
As we informed you in our 2024 Year-end Committee Reports, the San Rafael Rock Quarry’s management team continues to run the operations following the sale to CRH. Aimi Dutra, who is now Director of Community Relation for CRH California – Northwest Region, has assured us that the change in ownership will not affect our community and that our concerns will continue to be addressed. The Dutra Group has expressed their commitment to our community by remaining deeply involved in the operations of the San Rafael Rock Quarry.
