SUMMARY NARRATIVE: No changes since the 2012 Annual Report. The 2012 Narrative is as follows: The permit was revised by Amendment in 2003 and by Technical Revision in 2005. This Annual Report updates the original 2003 Amendment map that typifies the remaining fill, site prep,reclamation,and related areas of affected lands at play over the permitted area. Minor changes to the map may occur as adjustments are made to areas of extraction and related support features. For example; if the scalehouse is removed near the completion of extraction,the topography of the extracted scalehouse area will be updated at the time of the release request. Also,the fuel depot shown at the center near the south boundary remains and the area under it have yet to be extracted, even though the map shows the topography as if the fuel depot has already been removed and the area beneath it extracted. Finally,permanent access roads may change with time and are therefore approximated, as their final position will be shown at the time of final reclamation. Oil and gas activities affect and potentially reaffect 4.29f acres, and may fluctuate with time depending upon their activities. These disturbances will be updated at the time of final reclamation. All areas shown outside of the planned/existing permanent access roads as shown were at grade with native soil at the time of the permit revision. Previously unaffected land is shown respective of these areas,and any disturbances in these areas will be revegetated at the time of final reclamation, but are not included in the measurements, as internal disturbances comprise the focus of this report,as follows: Tract A has been extracted and slopes reclaimed(graded, soiled and revegetated)as indicated in prior annual reports. Extraction still occurs within the pit bottom and will continue until salvageable materials are exhausted. Tract C is an area of active extraction,principally within the pit bottom and will continue until salvageable materials are exhausted. Approximately 10.07f acres are used for processing and stockpiling of extracted materials,and may shift slightly to accommodate continued extraction within Tract C.
