RECEI` fern <br /> 1981 ANNUAL REPORT <br /> TO <br /> MINED LAND RECLAMATION BOARD rtuu 1 } 1901 <br /> NOTTINGHAM SAND & GRAVEL CO . WiNiED LAijD PEOLP <br /> EAGLE PIT <br /> PERMIT NO. 78-352 Cole. Dzpl. ci <br /> Since the beginning of excavation at this pit , Nottingham <br /> Sand & Gravel Co . has crushed out approximately one and one-half <br /> acres in Phase I , as shown on the map attached hereto . The <br /> area has been mined to a depth of approximately 18 feet , which <br /> is about the level of the Stremme & Gates Ditch at that <br /> location. The northern cliff wall above the Ditch has been <br /> cut completely through, and a new cliff wall to the south of <br /> the crushed-out area is exposed for approximately 150 linear <br /> feet . Because of the limited area exposed and because <br /> Nottingham may wish to stockpile some gravel in the crushed-out area <br /> in 1981-82 , no reclamation of this area has begun. <br /> Including the washed gravel stockpile area, perhaps as <br /> much as four acres will be involved with stockpile usage <br /> over the next year. Nottingham anticipates disturbing <br /> perhaps one additional acre in the next year in its crushing <br /> operation (see attached map) . The crusher and wash plant <br /> are expected to continue to be in the locations marked on <br /> the map . <br /> At this time it appears unlikely that any reclamation <br /> efforts will be feasible in Phase I in the upcoming year . <br /> However, Nottingham is aware of the importance of that <br /> obligation and will report to the Board when its operations <br /> have progressed to a point where reclamation can be begun <br /> without interferring with current excavation activity. <br />
