Yes, I know. That is the only (serious) place where it is shown and
described more or less extensively. I have read/used part of the info
there to model the texture; but the image shown is crap indeed.
I had not looked at the contact info in a serious way until now. Maybe
they have something better: the quarry seems not to have been in
exploitation very long. According to the report, between 1991 and (at
least) 1997, when it is said to be 'closed'.
Fun: I tried to locate the quarry using Google Earth. I came close
indeed, following the description in the report, but got stuck. I found
Maybe street/road names changed in the meantime (although I doubt it).
And no trace of a quarry in that wooded region, although they are
described to be situated on the top of the hills.
