June 2, 2014 <br />Annual Report <br />LAKE COUNTY <br />Public Works <br />P.O. Box 952 <br />429 East 12th Street <br />Leadville, CO 80461 <br />Phone: 719-486-0259 <br />Fax: 719-486-8479 <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Re: Permit No. M-1977-071 <br />Half Moon Pit <br />Anniversary Date: May 25, 2015 <br />Gentlemen; <br />Enclosed, please find the payment of $791.00 for the annual fee for the above referenced <br />permit. <br />The activity in the calendar year 2014 consisted of general mine site cleanup, stock pile usage <br />and mining of pit run material. <br />The only new disturbances for the year 2015 will be localized on the South side of the pit for pit <br />run material. It is expected that production for the year May 26, 2015 through May 25, 2016 will <br />be a minimum of pit run or already crushed material usage. Lake County is also clearing trees <br />for the next expansion of the mine. <br />As this pit is a county gravel pit for the production of asphalt aggregate, operation and mining <br />activities are generally at a minimum. <br />The pit consists of 80 acres, Lake County contracts with Chaffee County for weed control. All of <br />the 80 acres were treated with a mixture of 1.5 oz. Telar and 7.0 oz. Milestone per acre. Weed <br />control is usually applied in late June and on a as needed basis after the first application. <br />Please note: At this time ground water has not been disturbed and it is unlikely that any will be <br />in the future. At the present mining elevation, the pit should not encounter any groundwater. If in <br />the future we do encounter groundwater, we will follow all guidelines as required by law. <br />Please contact Michael Irwin; at 719-486-0259 should you have any questions. <br />Sincere) <br />Mi ael Irwin <br />A sistant Director <br />La e County Public Works <br />
