But if no quarry equipment I think the best idea is to sell it to pws for his 200 yards of bog road.

RE: blasted rock Fill
The items to watch for are: blast the material to a well graded consistency; load, haul, dump and spread the material causing as little segregation as possible; compact the material in lifts of about 24-inches or less (this means that the maximum particle size should be 18-inches); and wait until the settlement of the fill and underlying materials have slowed to an acceptable rate prior to constructing improvements on the fill.
Now from a practical standpoint for a lot of residential developers, all of the above means that a blasted rock fill is cannot be used. That is an issue for you to discuss with them.
Good luck.
