Permit No. M-77-526 <br />P.O. BOX 700 <br />HENDERSON, CO 80640 <br />(303)289-1837 <br />(303) 289-2865 FAX <br /> <br />Our files indicate that the anniversary date for this permit is <br />March 28, 2007. The effective date of all information in this report <br />is March 15, 2007. Please refer to the attached Annual Report Map <br />for the location of areas discussed in this report. This pit HAS NOT <br />been granted a Temporary Cessation and it HAS operated more than 180 <br />days this year. This permit was amended in 2006 to add construction <br />of a slurry wall to the permit and the current bond is $.00. <br />We will deal specifically with each of the Annual Report <br />requirements as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations. <br />(1) Mining began in the southern area this year, approximately 18.81 <br />acres was partially mined south of the Plant Site. We continued <br />to remove material stockpiled in previous years and mine <br />material from the bottom of the northern lake areas. The <br />northeast lake has been dewatered and mining will begin in the <br />spring of 2007 on gravel that remains in the bottom of the <br />excavated areas. <br />(2) No reclamation was required this year. Sloping is complete <br />along the southern and western sections of the residential <br />areas. Backfilling has begun on the west side of the new mining <br />area with the intent to eventually backfill the entire 18.81 <br />acres once all gravel is removed. Since most of the mining area <br />is dewatered the lake now covers 32.84 acres t of the disturbed <br />area. The tailings area is still being used, but when mining <br />ends it will be silted in and reclaimed. <br />(3) We will continue to mine south of the disturbed area shown as <br />"PLaxT SITE AREA", 18.46 acre t (brown) and will resume this year <br />in the northeast lake area. LaFarge may begin to mine the very <br />south end where the slurry wall was installed. <br />(4) We will continue to reclaim areas where mining has ended. <br />Backfilling will continue in the south lake area. As mining <br />
