Permittee Name: Lak~od Brick and Tile Co. ~ Page 2 <br />Permit No: M-79-045 <br />Operation Name: Church Pit <br />Anniversary Date: 02 / 28 / 98 <br />north into the area mined by the gravel operation again this <br />year. Waste material created by the clay operation was <br />stockpiled along the west side. This material will be used <br />later to create the slopes into the bottom of the mine <br />(brown). <br />Gravel - Coal Creek Sand and Gravel mined the gravel under a <br />lease with the mineral right owners this year. A total of <br />11.94 acres has been stripped in Stage A to prepare it for <br />mining (orange). The material stripped was placed in the <br />northeast part of Stage A (brown). Mining continued Stage A on <br />the area west of the road. A large portion of the old overburden <br />pile was removed and processed this year (dark blue). This <br />material was blended with some material removed from the stripped <br />area (orange) to created the product Coal Creek needed. The <br />current gravel operation has disturbed 21.80 acres ± in the mine. <br />(2) No reclamation was required this year. Filling did continue <br />on the north side of the old clay mining area. Coal Creek <br />continued to remove part of prelaw overburden pile on the <br />southwest side of the facility this year. In addition, they <br />began to fill the north slope of the old clay pit to estab- <br />lish the slope into the excavation area and the bench along <br />that part of the excavation was expanded to cover 0.57 ac <br />(green). All areas partially reclaimed are colored green. <br />We continued to install the sight berm along the west side <br />of the facility as required in the county plan this year <br />(brown). No additional reclamation is required until <br />mining for both materials is completed in any given stage. <br />(3) Clay - Mining will continue in Stage I or Stage II, no new <br />area will be disturbed this year because we are mining in <br />the area stripped by the sand and gravel operator. We will <br />mine deeper into the clay veins exposed in the past and <br />advance the face to the north as approved in the reclamation <br />plan. Processing will continue in the Clay Plant Site Area <br />in Stage 0 (pink). <br />Gravel - Coal Creek will continue to remove the prelaw <br />overburden piles as needed and mine in the stripped part of <br />Stage A in the southeast part of the mine. To date we have <br />screened the material and hauled it to another site for <br />processing. This may change this year if a crushing plan is <br />installed on Stage A. <br />(4) No reclamation is called for during the next year. However, <br />Coal Creek will continue to backfill the slope along the <br />south side of the old clay pit. The Waste material from <br />processing will be used to widen the flat area on the south <br />side of Stage 0. The amount of waste being generated from <br />
