• <br />CASTLE CONCRE'~E COMPANY'S <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ / ~ D <br />1987-88 ANNUAL REPORT FOR: SAND PIT ~/ <br />PERMIT NUMBER: M-77-213 MAY 2 6 1988 <br />MINED LAND <br />DATE OF INSPECTION FOR DATA IN REPORT: MAY 1988. RECLAMATION JI'JISiL,N <br />SUMMARY: <br />Because of the severely depressed aggregate market there <br />was little activity which occurred at this operation. A <br />small amount of sand was extracted from about 3.5 acres <br />within the pit. More activity occurred in reclamation. <br />About .5 acre was seeded within the permit and about 3 <br />acres on adjacent land outside the permit. A support berm <br />was initiated, more backfilling done, and plans initiated <br />to correct the drainage problems from adjacent land into <br />the pit area. <br />RULE 2.41 1 LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ACRES AFFECTED DURING THAT YEAR. <br />Because of the severely depressed aggregate market currently <br />affecting the Colorado Springs area, very little additional land was <br />affected this year as compared to last year. Material was extracted <br />from about 3.5 acres of land, but the actual volume of material removed <br />was greatly reduced when compared to the annual production for the last <br />couple of years. In fact, during the last year, there was more action <br />taken in [he reclamation category than occurred in the mining category. <br />A small amount of sand was removed from the southwest and west sides <br />of the operation. These areas are shown on the attached map. Most of this <br />extraction occurred from the dike area separating this operation from the <br />Daniels Sand Pit #2 to the south. Bp mutual agreement with Daniels Sand, <br />some material was removed from the south side and top of the dike by <br />Daniels Sand to supplement their production. The reason for this joint <br />mining of the dike area is an attempt to remove the dike area as quickly as <br />possible so the land contained in this permit and in the Daniels Sand <br />permit can be merged and made available for development as soon as <br />possible. Unfortunately, the depressed market has severely hampered this <br />effort to remove the dike. <br />RULE 2.41 2 LOCATIONS AND NUMBER OF ACRES RECLAIMED FOR THAT YEAR. <br />In the last year about 1.5 acres was actually placed in a reclamation <br />status. Much of this land was already in this category, but the efforts <br />during this year acted to elevate the status of the land somewhat. <br />Page 1 of 3 1988 SAND PIT ANNUAL REPORT <br />
