The mine is on active status with regazd to clay mining, hauling and stockpiling activities at three sepazate azeas within the permit area, however, only two of these azeas aze active with regazd to current and future mining. No new mining campaigns were started and finished during this Annual Report period, however, a mining campaign was initiated in July 1999 in the North most mine azea in the vicinity of past A91 and A92 clay mining azeas. The mine has a phased reclamation. Operations (Current Year) As previously mentioned, the only new mining operations to occur during the period did not begin until mid- July 1999 and was not complete at the time this report was prepazed. A copy of the two "Mine Production Plan Summazies" for the A91 and A92 clays to be extracted is attached showing the extent and plans for this campaign. The campaign to mine these clays and perform required stormwater control measures will be completed in late August 1999. Permitted acreage remains the same at 1364 acres. However, a Permit Amendment was submitted on March 22, 1999 requesting an additional 327 acres to the West and this permit had yet to be approved or disapproved by the Division at the end of the period. Disturbance is currently 55.9 acres (32.7 acres major and 23.2 acres moderate/minor). A letter was sent to the Division on June 25, 1999 explaining an unfavorable vaziance above the permitted maximum allowable disturbance of 50 acres. On July 12, 1999, another letter was sent to the Division on this subject and the Division granted a variance for the 55.9 acres. Please see attached updated map.
