The Council uses volcanic ash to increase the durability of unsealed limestone rubble roads. The quarry was closed because of instability of the quarry faces. Auger drilling of 14 holes (67.8 metres) proved that the only sources of ash available lie beneath the road adjacent to the quarry and beneath a pine plantation on the site of former quarry. Topographic survey to determine reserves in the road reserve is recommended.
