Additional Page <br /> 2000-2001 Annual Report <br /> Snyder Quarry <br /> M-77-210 <br /> Castle Concrete Company <br /> Anniversary Date: May 27 <br /> Overview of Permit Year: During the 1999-2000 operating year there was low, but increasing activity <br /> at this site. The operation is slowly being increased back to a level of significant production. Some <br /> production did occur in the last year. <br /> Annual Report Maps: The attached map shows the primary areas of disturbance and the type of <br /> disturbance occurring in each area. This is virtually identical to last year. <br /> Affected Lands: The amount of affected land has not increased primarily due to the activity being <br /> confined to previously disturbed land. The large waste pile has been further reduced and placed in the <br /> excavation at the back of the quarry. A small amount of excavation has occurred just north of the scale <br /> and plant. This removed a small amount of exposed limestone that needed to be removed to make room <br /> for further access. The West Ridge was examined and consideration is being given as to how it will be <br /> mined. As noted in the plan, the problem here are the underground workings that are difficult if mining <br /> above those workings and, eventually, into them. Consideration is also being given to initiating work in <br /> the northwestern corner with, first, the establishment of the drainage basin at the bottom of the <br /> drainage. Backfilling of the excavation is continuing. <br /> Revegetation: The site is stable and is not subject to erosion. No additional revegetation was done. <br /> What was done in the past is in excellent condition. <br /> Road Corridor: The road corridor has been improved and graded. Tree plantings along the lower <br /> portion of the road have done moderately well and have sufficient survival, if it continues, to introduce <br /> significant visual improvement. <br /> Expected Activity (2001 - 2002): It is possible that somewhat more production will occur in the next <br /> year. It is still undetermined. <br /> Bonding: This operation is covered by a corporate bond. <br /> Castle Concrete 2001 Annual Report M-77-210 Snyder Quarry Page 1 of 1 <br />
