I will address <br />them as they aze mentioned in your report. <br />Item 1. 1997-98 annual Report should be supplemented with additional information: date of <br />cessation, condition of pit at cessation, plans for resumption of activity, etc. <br />I have reviewed the Annual Reports and visited with company personnel regazding this period. At <br />no time was there any intention on the company's part to cease operation or activity even though that <br />could be inferred from the Annual Reports. I have been able to ascertain the following information: <br />1996 Annual Report stated an "unknown acreage to be disturbed." Work did take place in the <br />previously disturbed azea on the north side during 1996. <br />previously disturbed area. <br />1997 Annual Report stated "0 to 1.0 acres to he affected." The map suhmitted showed the 1996 area <br />of disturbance or re-disturbance. An asphalt hot plant was moved in for production, but local <br />authorities intervened and the plant never operated. An asphalt pad and loading ramp were installed <br />in 1977 as a part of this proposed operation. A small amount of material was removed from the <br />1998 Annual Report stated no changes in 1997 map. The events of 1997 with the asphalt plant <br />problem did not require any map changes. In 1998 some stockpiled material was hauled out. Mining <br />commenced in the 1998 report yeaz and will continue into the 1999 reporting year. <br />It is the operator's opinion that these activities, although not properly reported, do constitute <br />continuing activity with no intent to ceast operation. <br /> <br />"Your Brand of People" <br />
