This <br />area is still to be used as a process area for gravel crushing and asphalt production, as <br />well as a storage area for crushed and graded gravels. The sales office and truck scale is <br />also situated in the southwest section of Phase I. <br />* 1. The sloped bank along the western boundary of Phase I have been finish graded and <br />seeded. This work was completed during 1998. <br />*2. A water storage pond was constructed in the northwest comer of Phase I. This pond <br />is a 4-celled structure intended to store water in the upper chamber and to settle and <br />recirculate wash water being used to wash aggregates. The original plan was to situate <br />the storage pond along the southem boundary of Phase 1, but it became necessary to <br />construct the structure it the present location in order to properly utilize the water rights <br />that were acquired for the purpose. <br />*3. During the report year a storage pile of topsoil was places along the southem <br />boundary of Phase II. This soil was removed from the westem section of Phase II in <br />preparation for the coming season's crushing program. <br />*4. Approximately 4 acres of the westem section of Phase R was stripped of topsoil and <br />overburden. This area will supply pit run gravel for crushing for the next 2 to 3 years. <br />This estimate is based on current demands for gravel in the area. <br />
