Walstrum Mine <br /> Permit# M-1983-033 2014 Annual Report <br /> Notes: Please refer to the 2013-14 annual report map for the location of areas discussed <br /> below <br /> 7. The total disturbance at the mine is now 131.27 acres ±. Mining has continued on the <br /> working face that stretches from north to south on the eastern part of the quarry. <br /> Mining continues on areas previously disturbed by lowering the mine floor. The following <br /> list outlines the various areas of disturbance at the mine. <br /> DESCRIPTION ACRES <br /> Topsoil piles 12.83 (yellow) <br /> Mining area 43.19 (brown) <br /> Floor area 25.11 (orange) <br /> Reclaimed 15.21 (green) <br /> Partially reclaimed 24.44 (light green) <br /> Other uses 9.94 (stages X, Y & Z) <br /> Undisturbed 159.65 <br /> 8. Stripping began on a small area north of the plant site to ready that area for mining. <br /> This increased the disturbed area by 0.65 acres. <br /> 9/10. As approved in the mining plan only the mine benches need recoiling and <br /> revegetation. The upper 6 benches on the northern part of the face have been re-soiled <br /> and seeded. This area covering 7.38 acres and is beginning its sixth growing season <br /> (green). The southern 7.83 acres reclaimed prior to 2000 are being monitored. All <br /> revegetation is doing well on the benches. Ten new benches on the north & south portions <br /> of the face covering 24.44 acres are partially reclaimed (light green). Stage Z is <br /> permitted in the county for commercial uses. Clear Creek County approved removal of <br /> this stage from the Official Development Plan and we will request its release from the <br /> permit. <br /> 12. We will continue to replace growth medium on benches created this year and seed <br /> them as needed. No other reclamation is required at this time. <br /> 18. Current Bond Amount $741,500.00. Mine was inspected on 11/28/11 and the bond <br /> was not increased. <br />
