The material mined <br /> consisted of taking down material on existing disturbed areas as shown on enclosed map and cutting <br /> down the slope on the south east side of the pit. No new areas of disturbance occurred during this time <br /> period. <br /> Reclamation for the year 2016 consisted of stockpiling existing top soil from the pit area to the east side of <br /> the pit. Also in 2016,we have continued our program of stockpiling top soil from outside sources, such as <br /> new road construction around the County in anticipation of future reclamation work. <br /> During the year 2016, since there were not any new areas of disturbance Lake County continued to <br /> accumulate top soil from outside sources. It is expected that there will not be any new disturbances 2016. <br /> All mining activities will be within previously disturbed areas of the existing pit. Production for the calendar <br /> year January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 will be between 20,000 and 25,000 tons of road base <br /> material. <br /> Lake County Contracts with Chaffee County for weed control.The mine site was treated with a mixture of <br /> 1.5 oz.Telar and 7.0 oz. Milestone per acre.Weed control is usually applied in late June and on a as <br /> needed basis after the first application. <br /> As in the past, Lake County also uses this mine site and crushing equipment to recycle asphalt that has <br /> been removed from County and City roads.This practice while not a mining activity has been in effect for <br /> 10 plus years.The crushed asphalt is then re-incorporated into new construction projects as well as on <br /> existing roadways throughout the County. <br /> Please contact Brad Palmer, Public Works Director at 719-486-0259 should you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Brad Palmer, Director <br /> Lake County Public Works <br />
