To do so would have been a waste of va! <br />resources and time. <br />and Geology. <br />reflected on the <br />our curtently <br />gy. As of the <br />under this <br />Division of <br />on-going basis and <br />ile reclamation <br />Many of the areas in the Loveland quarries have, over the years, spontaneously rec aimed themselves <br />without arty active reclamation on our part. As Mother Nature takes its course and trees d native vegetation <br />re-seeds itself into disturbed areas, the trees, plants and grasses are encouraged to grow we try not to disturb <br />anything we don't have to. <br />Reclamation Planned During the Coming Year: At this time, very limited recl lion is anticipated <br />to occur for these quarries in the coming year. As stated above, these quarries are mined n a continual basis. <br />Any reclamation that is undertaken in the next year will most likely be for ground stabiliza on within and <br />azound the quames rather than final reclamation. <br />!n accordance with our permit, reclamation will occur in stages as the quarries aze epleted. It is <br />difficult, however, to detemtine a timetable for the actual depletion of an area or part of an area in our quarries. <br />Operations Status: We operate the Loveland quarries on a full-time basis. Operatio in these quarries are <br />continuous during fair weather, when the area can be typically found without frost, ice, m h precipitation, <br />extremely low temperatures or high winds. Therefore, we Have no concrete beginning or ssation dates to <br />report. <br />Sufficiency of Financial Warranty: Our reclamation bond is guaranteed by an in vocable letter of <br />credit from the Berthoud National Bank, Berthoud, Colorado, and on file with the Divisio of Minerals and <br />Geology, acknowledging the liability at $50,000.00 We believe at this time that this is a s cient value. <br />
