Kiewit <br />Western Co. (KWC) has made some of the developmental improvements to the site as <br />specified in the original permit applications and the approved Technical Revisions <br />numbers one and two. Improvements completed include construction of two sediment <br />basins at the southern end of the pit. Buried line power and telephone have been brought <br />into the pit. The line power runs along the west side of the access road and the telephone <br />line runs along the eastside of the road. A crusher and wash plant spread have been set <br />up on the Phase II portion of the pit. <br />The disturbed areas around the access road have been reclaimed. <br />KWC mined Phase I in 2002. 149,000 tons of material was extracted from Phase I. <br />Phase I material source is exhausted, and is presently in the reclamation process. <br />Phase II is encompassed with the crusher, wash plant and stockpiles. Phase II had a <br />small amount of material to be mined. It was mined and reclaimed in conjunction with <br />Phase I. Phase III will be the area mined in 2003. <br />If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly at (719) <br />393-0026 or (719)491-3654. <br />Thank You, <br />Mike McDonald <br />Project Superintendent <br />Kiewit Western Co. <br />
