L.R. Chapman is located in Lewisport, Hancock County, Kentucky. From our significant reserves, we provide all of the clay for local brick and tile manufacturing plants with a 50-plus year relationship.  Today, while this remains a significant aspect of our operations, additional research and consulting has shown the clay to be an excellent source for making a lightweight aggregate product. Because of a low permeability characteristic, it is excellent as structural fill or as an environmental landfill liner or cover.

In March of 2004, Bluegrass Industrial Minerals, LLC was formed as an affiliate to L.R. Chapman, Inc.. It too operates in Lewisport, Hancock County, Kentucky.  The focus of Bluegrass Industrial Minerals is to capitalize on a large reserve of proven high grade silica sand.  The Company is constructing a state-of-the-art processing facility designed to produce high-grade silica sand to be used in such applications as container glass, flat glass, foundry molds, certain fiberglass manufacturing, golf bunkers and topdressing, and landscaping.
