Additional Page <br />2002 Annual Report <br />Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry <br />M-1989-065 <br />Centennial Materials, Inc. <br />Anniversary Date: April 26 <br />Overview of Permit Year: During the 2001/2002 operating year there was a great deal of activity at this <br />site. Most of the operation remains much as it was last year with another small northward expansion of <br />the Main Quarry (see Map 3b). There was limited activity at the Cut Stone Quarry portion and that <br />disturbance remains rather small and essentially identical to last year. <br />Annual Report Maps: Enclosed are four color maps showing the primary areas of disturbance and the <br />type of disturbance occurring in each area. Map 1 shows the entire site and is primarily a guide map. <br />Map 2 includes the Cutstone portion and Maps 3a and 3b show the information for the Main Quarry <br />area. <br />Affected Lands: The amount of affected land has increased to 88.5 acres as a result of the small <br />northward expansion of the main quarry. However, because 5.1 acres was backfilled, topsoiled and will <br />be seeded the amount of actual unreclaimed disturbance has decreased by about 2.5 acres from last year. <br />A significant portion of the total affected land is contained in the access road. The Cut Stone <br />portion amounts to about 5 acres, including the access road to that site. The remainder is involved in the <br />main quarry operation, stockpiles, and office area. The plant was relocated from outside quarried land to <br />the inside of the quarried land and down in the quarry hole. The stockpiles are still kept out of the <br />quarry hole, but some stockpiling is done near the plant, as is usually the case. <br />Revegetation: No additional revegetation was done in the last year as no land was available. However, <br />in the main quarry area, 5.1 acres has been backfilled and topsoiled and will be seeded about the time <br />this annual report is due. That will be the first actual quarry reclamation implemented. <br />Expected Activity (2002/2003): There will be some additional expansion of the Main Quarry <br />westward during the next year, and possibly southward into Phase 2. The sediment basin will be <br />eliminated by the westward mining, but the actual quarry area will replace the basin. Although the basin <br />collected some water, very little sediment ever accumulated in the basin. This indicates soil loss from the <br />adjacent stockpile is now minimal and the need for a specific sediment basin has been eliminated. The <br />Cut Stone quarry area may expand slightly. <br />Bonding: This operation is covered by a self bond. A copy of the latest financial statement is enclosed. <br />M-7989-065 Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry <br />Schmidt Construction Company 2002 Annual Report Page 1 of 1 <br />
