Additional Page <br />2002 Annual Report <br />Menzer Quarry <br />M-1976-009-HR <br />Schmidt Construction Company <br />Anniversary Date: December 31 <br />Overview of Permit Year: During the 2002 operating year there was a great deal of activity at this site, but <br />expansion of the mining area was minimal This was because of the large quantity of material that was available <br />within areas that had previously been prepared for mining. The land on the north side of the affected land <br />which was opened in 1999 was mined to a large extent. Mining on the south side of the operation where <br />mining has been done the last few years has essentially been completed, but mining on the floor of the quarry <br />below that south side is continuing. The completed mining areas on the south have been placed in final <br />reclamarion. <br />Annual Report Maps: The enclosed color map shows the primary areas of disturbance and the type of <br />disturbance occurring in each area. This map is only slightly changed from last year <br />Affected Lands: The amount of affected land increased considerably from last year. Land in the next stage <br />was stripped of forest, but the surface was left in tact to reduce erosion. <br />Revegetation: The site is stable. Erosion and sediment discharge is controlled. <br />Expected Activity (2003): The mining zone (red-orange on the map) will continue to expand northward <br />into the brown area. Expansion into the newly stripped areas in Stage 2 will probably start on the north side <br />and swing southward from there. This helps maintain good access and minimal interference with other work. <br />Bonding: This operation is covered by a self bond <br />Schmidt Construction Company 2002 Annual Report M-76-009-HR Menzer Quarry Page 1 of 1 <br />
