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. Lake County is projecting 2017 to place this mine back into <br /> operation to extract and crush asphalt aggregate material for asphalting operations in 2017 and <br /> beyond. <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 /> Sincerel/ <br /> Mi' ael Irwin <br /> A sistant Director <br /> Lake County Public Works <br />
