WEST OF ACADEMY BOULEVARD: <br />Processing - The processing area remained essentially <br />unchanged from the previous year. Most of the area west of <br />Academy is used for processing the sand. The land area for <br />processing includes activities such as washing, stockpiling, <br />and distribution of the sand products. Settling ponds in <br />the processing are a mixed use which spans the vague gap <br />between processing and reclamation. <br />Dry Settling Ponds - Please refer to last year's <br />annual report map for the location of these. No changes <br />occurred. <br />Settling Pond - The settling pond shown on last year's <br />map was completed and is being allowed to drain before <br />covering with overburden materials. The new settling pond <br />is located immediately east of the pond shown on last year's <br />map. It's use began just prior to the end of the permit <br />year, therefore, for most of the year, the pond shown on <br />last year's map was used as a settling pond. <br />Mixed Uses - No changes occurred in this category as <br />compared to last year. <br />Graded - This area, shown on last year's map, is in a <br />temporary reclamation status and did not change from last <br />year in extent or condition. It will enter a permanent <br />reclamation status when the sand dike is removed and the <br />entire area graded for the final reclamation configuration. <br />Mining - The mining areas on this side of Academy <br />Boulevard are minor in extent. The only area where <br />appreciable extraction occurred is in the middle of the sand <br />dike bordering the north edge of the operation and shown on <br />last year's map. The extent of this excavation expanded <br />slightly during the last permit year, but the first cut <br />through the dike is nearly completed and should occur in <br />1989, even with a slow market demand. No other mining <br />occurred on the west side of Academy Boulevard. <br />Reseeded - This small area near the entrance to the <br />operation and shown on last year's map was reseeded three <br />years ago. No changes occurred in this area. <br />EAST OF ACADEMY BOULEVARD Areas refer to last year's <br />ma <br />Area A - No notable changes occurred in this area <br />during the last year and it remains much as it was at the <br />time of the last annual report. <br />FILE 73-7 ANNUAL REPORT - 1988/1989 PAGE 2 OF 5 <br />
