Permittee Name: Siloam Stone, Inc. <br /> Permit No: M-1987-086 <br /> Operation Name: Bedrock Mine <br /> Anniversary Date: 03/16/2017 <br /> Additional information (as of 3/0 9/17) <br /> 7 . Of the 49 . 13 acres ± disturbed at this mine, 13 .55 acres ± is in <br /> the Stone Yard, that is a permanent facility that will remain when <br /> mining ends . <br /> 8 . New area was disturbed this year covering 1 .40 acres ± on the north <br /> side of the mine (cross hatched //) . We continued to mine in <br /> previously disturbed areas (brown) . The stone yard and temporary <br /> stone storage area remain unchanged from last year. We continue to <br /> use the grizzlies' setup in 2002 for processing stone in the Stone <br /> Yard. The following table shows the status of the mine area, in <br /> acres, disturbed at the mine: <br /> DISTURBANCE (NEEDING RECLAMATION) STAGE 1 ALLOWED BY <br /> ac. t BOND ac. t <br /> Slab stone mining (brown) 16.52 25.00 <br /> Reclaimed, seeded (green) 5.75 NA <br /> Topsoil stockpiles (tan) 3.64 NA <br /> Temporary Stone Storage Area (///) 25.69 35.00 <br /> Stone Yard 13.55* 13.55* <br /> Total disturbance 51.60 60.00 <br /> *-historic Industrial use area-no reclamation required <br /> 9. No reclamation was required but as in the past we continue to cleanup <br /> the pre-law disturbed area by filling, graded, and shaped the areas <br /> around the perimeter of the area. An additional 2 .98 acres was <br /> partially backfilled in the northeast mining area. The size of the <br /> Temporary Stone Storage Area (TSSA) changes during the year and the <br /> grass on those areas previously disturbed are recovering. This is an <br /> example of the ever changing size of the TSS area accounted for in the <br /> bond calculation. <br /> 10 . We will continue to remove stone from the slab stone mining areas and <br /> stockpiled stone in the stone yard. We expect to expand along the <br /> stone mining area north line (brown) . The stone yard area is <br /> industrial area and would need no reclamation if mining ended <br /> prematurely. We continue to add and remove stone from the TSSA's as <br /> market demands dictate. No mining will take place within the buffer <br /> zone along the Peck Creek Tributary to the north. <br /> 11 . We will begin reclaiming a portion of the west side of the area <br /> previously mined. <br /> 12 . At this time there are 5.75 acres ± (green) that have been shaped, <br /> graded, resoiled and seeded. The 6th growing season starts this year <br /> on the western section of the area and the grasses are growing as <br /> expected. <br />
