The Gernatt Family of Companies, also known simply as Gernatt's, is a group of 11 businesses located in Western New York State that market sand, gravel, soil, crushed stone, rocks, asphalt, aggregate, and cement.[1] The corporate businesses include Dan Gernatt Gravel Products, Inc.; Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc.; and Country Side Sand and Gravel, Inc., with headquarters at Taylor Hollow Road in Collins, New York. Other businesses are in Gowanda, Freedom, Irving, Great Valley, Springville, Chaffee, West Seneca, Delevan, South Dayton, and Westfield, all in the New York State counties of Erie, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua.[2] The companies have been doing business in New York State for nearly 60 years.[1][3]
Background[edit]
The Gernatt Family of Companies haul sand, gravel, stone, asphalt, and cement throughout Western New York State and Northwestern Pennsylvania.[4] Marketed by the companies are various aggregates and materials, including hot mix asphalt, asphalt millings, crushed stone, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates (sand), subbases, landscape rocks, and cold patch material.
The companies employ more than 200 people, and use dozens of cement and semi-trucks to haul materials.[5][6] Trucks used by the companies for hauling include a stone slinger, tri-axles, single-axles, tractor-trailers, and live bottom trailers. The companies also have a rail loading facility in Great Valley.[7]
Also included in the companies are additional mining and excavation sites, including the Vail Road gravel pit in Gowanda, New York; the Richardson Road and Sara Lane pits in Collins, New York; and others, operated separately, from the actual business locations. The companies also own and operate the public Gowanda Airport.[8]
History[edit]
The companies were cofounded in 1946 by late Chairman of the Board Daniel R. Gernatt, Sr.[9] and his late wife, Flavia C. (Schmitz) Gernatt;[10] and are family-owned and operated.[6] Gernatt, a successful, former dairy farmer and horse breeder,[11] and cofounder of Dan Gernatt Farms with his wife, began marketing gravel from his property in 1946, establishing Dan Gernatt Gravel Products, Inc. in 1955. In 1961 and 1964, Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc.[12][13][14] and Country Side Sand and Gravel were established, respectively.[12][15]
Leadership[edit]
Today, the companies are headed by Chief Executive Officer Daniel R. Gernatt, Jr.[16] In 1996, Gernatt, Jr. was recognized by the New York State Assembly with a unanimous proclamation for his receipt of the Spirit of Gowanda Business Award as head of the companies.[17]
In an article included in the February 12, 1996 edition of the Gowanda Penny Saver News, former New York Attorney General Dennis Vacco is quoted, stating about Gernatt's receipt of Gowanda's Business Award:
- The state sometimes forgets about the small business leaders and the things they do for their communities.[18]
Donald Gernatt is executive vice president of the companies,while Randall Best, Bill Rebmann, Bill Schmitz, Mark Smith,and Ken Ziccarelli are vice presidents.[19]
Expansions[edit]
In 1979, Gernatt, Jr. purchased the former John L. Benz plant in Springville, furthering business expansions of the companies.[5]
In 1995, the companies were one of several to apply with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for expansions.[20]
In 1998, then-legal consultant Dianna Gernatt Saraf stated in The Buffalo News that an expansion of the company's Great Valley operations would increase production by ten times to reach an increase in demand for asphalt, blocks, and aggregate needed for fulfillment of construction and roadwork contracts that the company had in the Southern Tier.[21] In 1999, a revision to the expansion proposal added another $170,000 for consideration of approval. [22] The expansion was required to be approved in Great Valley since the town does not maintain any zoning ordinances. [23]
Size, acreage, and sales[edit]
Mining operations of the businesses are performed on 100s of acres of company land throughout Western New York State.
Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. was the sixth-largest sand and gravel mine operator in New York State in 2008 with 450 permitted acres.[24] In 2008, Country Side Sand and Gravel, Inc. was the second-largest sand and gravel mine in New York State with 236 permitted acres.[25] Country Side Sand and Gravel, Inc., in Dayton, New York, occupies 625 acres.[24] Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. modified its mining permit in 2008, affecting 175 acres.[24] The companies were New York State's largest aggregate supplier of sand and gravel approved by the state in 2009.
In 2009, the Harris New York Services Directory identified Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. with making $10 million to $25 million in sales.[26] In 2006, the D & B Million Dollar Directory reflected Countryside Sand and Gravel as having made $1.1 million in sales.[27] Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. was also recognized with having made $10 million in sales in the 1994 edition of the D & B Million Dollar Directory.[28]
Innovations and developments[edit]
In 2009, the companies were successful in integrating cost-reducing and energy-saving green environmental technology in asphalt production and paving with low emission asphalt (LEA); the companies were the first to do so in Western New York State and were recognized for it with an award from the New York Construction Materials Association.[29]
Also in 2009, Executive Vice President Donald Gernatt expressed that the Companies have improved safety for their equipment operators.[19] He stated that there is more climate control available in today's excavators and wheel loaders, contributing to operators having more energy, and also being healthier and happier, following their work. He stated that it is the Companies' responsibility to use current technology to ensure greater safety for equipment operators. Gernatt, who owns his own trucking company,[30] also stated that the Companies are using current technology to improve communications, as well as maps in their yards for enhanced directional awareness, for drivers and customers entering their businesses to get loadouts.[19]
The companies are also involved in oil and natural gas exploration, maintain a real estate division, and are copartners in an electric cogeneration plant.[5]
Memberships and honors[edit]
The companies maintain a membership with the Construction Exchange of Buffalo and Western New York, a commercial construction industry group.[31] In 2001, the companies were awarded an honorable mention for the design of the company website in the annual Pit & Quarry awards competition that selects top producers in the industry and recognizes companies for other accomplishments.[32]

Projects and public involvement[edit]
Roadway and construction projects[edit]
The companies have been involved in major projects in Western New York State, including the New York State Thruway, Southern Tier Expressway, First Niagara Center (formerly HSBC Arena), Ralph Wilson Stadium, and Coca-Cola Field (formerly Dunn Tire Park).[12] The companies have also donated materials for community projects, including hauling and providing soil for a recreational facility in Gowanda, New York, for redevelopment of a former Peter Cooper Corporation glue factory.[33] Materials and labor were donated for Aldrich Street School, a public primary school; and for the former Tri-County Memorial Hospital helipad, both in Gowanda, New York.[5][34]
Restoration and conservation projects[edit]
In 2005, the DEC completed its second tagging session of geese on the companies' property in South Dayton at what is now known as Lake Flavia.[35] In that outing, 285 geese were logged, with 70 having reflected tags from prior DEC captures.[35] In 2010, the companies, along with an unrelated company in Akron, New York donated 150 tons of stone to the Gooseneck Hill Waterfowl sanctuary in northeastern Cattaraugus County, after flooding had damaged the sanctuary.[36] In 2014, the companies, in conjunction with the DEC, worked with McMahon & Mann Consulting Engineers, P.C. in developing and implementing a stream bank regrading and restoration plan.[37] The plan was carried out on the companies' Chaffee location, along the Cattaraugus Creek[38] in Sardinia, New York to help protect from erosion.[37]
Sponsorships and monetary donations[edit]
The Gernatt companies have been active in donating to the community's historical buildings, local sports teams, youth groups and for disaster relief. Additionally, Gernatt companies have donated to Catholic endeavors, including Catholic charities, schools, colleges and churches.[39]
Political contributions[edit]
The companies, and executives and employees of the companies, have regularly made financial contributions to political campaigns and political action committees (PACs) since 1987. Campaign contributions have primarily been to Republican candidates and organizations, to date, totaling approximately $200,000.[40]
Legal and safety issues[edit]
Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. v. Town of Sardinia[edit]
There have been legal and safety issues regarding the companies. In 1991, opposition to mining proposed by Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. became obvious in the Town of Sardinia, New York when a mining overlay was passed to the town's zoning laws, showing areas acceptable for mining.[41][42] The mining overlay was voided by court action,[42] but later upheld.[43] The owner of the privately held Water Works there informed residents that should mining occur, the water company would go out of business; about 70 residents would be affected.[41]
In 1993, the Town Board passed an amendment to its zoning ordinance, providing it with regulatory control of new mining. The amendment was ruled by the State Court of Appeals to be a proper exercise of authority by the Town Board.[44]
Sardinia Town Attorney Anthony DiFillippo, III, stated in a June 14, 1996 article by Bob Buyer in The Buffalo News regarding the Town Board's belief that mining was occurring on the former Gabel-Thomas property purchased by Gernatt's:
- We will bring to the attention of the court that mining is being conducted in violation of state law.[44]
That same year in 1993, Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. filed with the DEC for a 100-year mining permit for a 400-acre Gabel-Thomas tract of land it purchased near Chaffee, New York in the Town of Sardinia.[42][45] The Erie County Farm Bureau and the Erie County Legislature also took issue with the proposed mining due to the DEC's 4-inch thick report that the environment would be significantly affected.[46][47] The Erie County Legislature offered the services of the county attorney to the Town of Sardinia in the matter.[43] The DEC's Environmental Impact Statement reported that a 276-acre lake would be created throughout the 100-year period due to mining operations.[42][46] By 1994, the companies had spent more than $1,000,000 to obtain the mining permit.[48]
In 1996, Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. v. Town of Sardinia, Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. challenged the Town of Sardinia when the Town Board rezoned, in part, excluding that piece of land. Residents were concerned that the town's ground water supply would be affected by the expansion of the corporation's mining operations when the DEC informed the town of the company's desire to use the land for mining.[49] The New York State Court of Appeals decided that local zoning laws were not included in the New York State's Mined Land Reclamation Law, and that the Town of Sardinia did not violate Open Meetings Law.[50][51] Therefore, municipalities in New York State maintain the right to exercise reasonable police powers to completely prevent mining.[52]
Despite the lawsuit, the Town Zoning Board granted Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. a variance for mining after winning the case the involved more than 10 years of legal battles; the Town Zoning Board was sued by the Town Board.[53] Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. offered $200,000 to the Water Works there if the Town Board would drop its lawsuit against the Town Zoning Board.[53] An offer was presented to the Town Board in 1997 by New York State Assistant Attorney General Paul McCarthy, who also represents the New York State DEC, for Dennis Vacco, an attorney and former New York State Attorney General, to mediate the dispute, which the Town Board unanimously rejected.[54]
Interests of the companies in the dispute are to mine the land that was purchased, and the Town of Sardinia seeks to retain its rights regarding mining control within the town, as upheld by the New York State Court of Appeals, and to maintain the best interests of the citizen majority.[51][54]
Dan Gernatt Gravel Products v. Town of Collins[edit]
In 1984, Dan Gernatt Gravel Products sued the Town of Collins for denying it a permit to expand its operations.[55] Reasons for the denial included increased traffic, an unnecessarily enlarged pit area, and others. An argument by the company in favor of the permit's issuance was that community pressure was not a proper reason for its denial.[56]
Additional concerns[edit]
Environmental issues[edit]
Ozone pollutant emissions from Gernatt Asphalt Products, Inc. in 1999 in the production of asphalt paving mixtures and blocks were measured at 30%-40% after one hour, and at 50%-60% after eight hours. The measurement of ozone pollutant emissions by the plant after one hour is considered clean, while the eight hour measurement is ranked as a medium level of harm.[57]
Mining by the companies has also presented concerns for residents of Gowanda, New York near the Gernatt-operated Vail Road pit. The companies' proposed mining operations are to be expanded to an underground level that reaches within 10 feet of the water table,[58][59] reflecting Gernatt's request for a change to their original 1974 mining permit at that location. Residents such as Elizabeth Reid, and Charles and Ed Grudzien, are concerned that an expansion of mining will affect the environment and water table, particularly the cleanliness of water in an underground spring. They stated that they were promised no expansion of pit mining operations while they were living. Residents, including Tom Robinson and Reid, respectively, have further concerns regarding semi-truck noise that disrupts the natural environment; and that the pit has long been an area for partying by some local teenagers. Several residents recognized the company for generosity in giving to the community, but also stated that it is important to be considerate toward neighbors.[58]
Industrial accident[edit]
An industrial accident occurred at one of the companies in August 2013. There was an explosion on a conveyor belt at the asphalt plant in Yorkshire, New York. Thomas Treadway, a company employee, experienced third degree burns and was transported to the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, New York, by helicopter; the plant was also damaged by fire.[60][61]
