Permit ~-Y' <br />No. M-1983_:033, Annual Report ~}~~{er) <br />Our files indicate that the anniversary date for this permit is <br />June 23. This pit aAS xox been granted a Temporary Cessation and it s).s <br />operated more than 160 days this year. The Financial Warranty for <br />this operation was reviewed in 2005 and at $741,500 was determined to <br />be adequate. The permitted area is 292.07 ac. t and the pit is <br />divided into 6 Reclamation Phases. A sign that conforms with rule <br />3.1.12 3xc;xs nxn MARR8R5 is at the entrance to the quarry on the scale <br />house. Please refer to the 2005-06 Annual Report Map for the location <br />of areas discussed in this report. This is a quarry operation, as a <br />result we remove large amounts of material without disturbing large <br />areas of land. <br />We will deal specifically with each of the Annual Report require- <br />ments as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations, and the <br />annual notice letter. <br />(1) Total disturbance to date in Stage I remains at 86.87 acres t. <br />We mined deeper along the face this year lowering benches and <br />have begun to-mine in part of the area'atripped last year. The <br />upper 5 benches in the eastern part of the mined area have been <br />completed and 6.54 acres of that area was seeded last summer <br />(green). As the face moved east more floor area was created. <br />The current face area covers approximately 50.66 acres t (brown). <br />Mining continued on the area previously stripped in Phase I, this <br />includes the floor area (orange}, and the working face (brown). <br />We have continued to retain fill in the secondary access corridor <br />as approved in the plan and a second topsoil storage pile was <br />established north of the mined area that covers 11,92 acres t <br />(yellow). <br />(2) The upper 5 benches covering 6.54 acres that will remain undis- <br />turbed from this time forward. They were seeded last summer and <br />are beginning their second growing season (green). <br />
