<br />Snyder Quarry <br />2003 Annual Report <br />Castle Concrete Company <br />M-77-210 -May 27 <br />RECEIVED <br />JUN 0 ~ 2003 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Overview of Permit Year: During the 2002-2003 operating year activity was virtually <br />dormant. <br />Annual Report Maps: Two maps are enclosed. The first map is a general map <br />showing the primary areas of disturbance. This is virtually identical to last year. The <br />second map (Weed Map) shows the locations and types of weeds on the site. <br />Affected Lands: The amount of affected land has not increased. <br />Revegetation: Overall, the revegetation on this site looks good. The majority of the <br />base reclamation looks good and the grasses on the benches on the west side look great! <br />Nonetheless, vegetation is still needed in certain spots (along haul road). Broadcast <br />seeding of these areas in the fall is planned. The enhanced reclamation also looks good. <br />The saplings that were planted along the haul road have survived the drought and are <br />taking off with this spring's rain. More enhanced reclamation is planned for later this <br />summer. See page four of the attached text document for details. <br />Weeds: A weed inspection was conducted on May 2, 2003. Please see the attached <br />"Weeds and Reclamation Work" (prepared by Mark Heffner) for a summary. <br />Road Corridor: Over the past year very little activity occurred. As a result small <br />erosion channels formed. Castle plans on grading and smoothing out the haul road the <br />next time they resume activity. <br />Past Activity (2002 - 2003): Production was extremely minute. "Shot-rock" was sent <br />through the plant. <br />Bonding: This operation is covered by a corporate bond. <br />Castle Concrete 2003 Annual Report M-77-210 Snyder Quarry Page 1 of 1 <br />
