• <br />Unused - The area outlined and/or colored green on the map includes <br />areas that were not specifically utilized in the operation. On <br />occasion an access road runs through this area, but generally, the <br />operation did not involve these areas or if it did it was to a very <br />minor extent. The area in this category totals approximately 27 acres. <br />EAST OF ACADEMY BOULEVARD: <br />Area A - This area occupied approximately 18 acres. Activities <br />primarily associated here was the excavation of the new ditch route, <br />soil stockpiling, temporary sand stockpiling, and access roadways. <br />Area B - This area occupied about 11.5 acres. Activities found <br />here included initiation of an excavation for future mining of Phase <br />IIe, soil stockpiling, temporary sand stockpiling, and access roadways. <br />Area C - This area occupied about 2.5 acres. Activities found <br />here included initiation of a second cut in Phase IIe, soil stockpiling, <br />and access roadways from Phase Ie. <br />Area D - This area occupied about 19 acres. Activities found here <br />included excavation of sand deposits and access roadways. Minor soil <br />stockpiling has occurred here as well. <br />Unused - The unused area on the east side of Academy totaled <br />approximately 178. This area is outlined in green on the map. <br />RULE 2.41(2): LOCATIONS AND NUMBER OF ACRES RECLAIMED FOR THAT YEAR. <br />No land was reclaimed during the past year. This was due to the <br />fact that on the west side of Academy Boulevard the lands being affected <br />are still expanding. On the east side of the operation the lands that <br />have been mined are still not quite to a state where reclamation could <br />be effectively implemented without adjacent operations having adverse <br />effects on the reclamation work. <br />RULE 2.41(3): THE LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ACRES IN THE VARIOUS STAGES OF <br />RECLAMATION (BACKFILLED, GRADED, TOPSOIL REPLACED, REVEGETATED). <br />Two areas can be clearly identified as being in some kind of <br />reclamation status. <br />OLD SETTLING PONDS - The area labelled "DRY PONDS" on the annual report <br />map have been generally abandoned. However, little further reclamation <br />work will be done in this area for some time. When the ridge of sand to <br />the north of the ponds is removed, this area will be merged with the <br />backfilling of the Castle Concrete Company's Sand Pit operation to the <br />north. At that time, full reclamation will be applied to this area. <br />Therefore, this 13 acre area would be classified as being in the <br />backfilled status. <br />FILE 73-7 JAN. 10, 1986 PAGE 2 OF 4 ANNUAL REPORT <br />
