The Owl Canyon Quarry is an active site with mining activities progressing from south to north in the western portion of <br />the quarry. There are approximately 100 disturbed acres and 15 acres under reclamation. There are also 7.73 fully <br />reclaimed acres that were released from reclamation responsibility on May 15, 2002. The operator is doing a <br />commendable job of contemporaneous reclamation. Reclamation activities including backfill and grading with overburden <br />materials, placement of beet dirt and soil materials, and revegetation with a dry land grass mix is in progress along <br />various portions of the western rim of the quarry. All non-roadable mining equipment has been removed from the quarry <br />area and is now stored in the equipment boneyard near the shop and quarry office. There are a total of 161.5 permitted <br />acres with a maximum allowable disturbance of 106.48 acres. The operator has posted a financial warranty of $522,000 <br />to complete reclamation of the 106.48 disturbed acres. The quarry is being reclaimed to wildlife habitat.
