Additional Sheets <br />Pikeview Quarry 1996-1997 Annual Report <br />Anniversary Date: May 27, 1997 <br />Included with this report aze two maps. Map 1 shows the status of the operation with respect <br />to the land in vazious categories involving older reclamation and mining. Map 2 shows the locations of <br />Base and Enhanced Reclamation work. The distinction between Base and Enhanced Reclamation is <br />described in detail in the permit. Basically, Enhanced Reclamation is a publicly funded reclamation <br />program that addresses visual impact mitigation. The Base Reclamation is that reclamation performed <br />by Castle Concrete to comply with the permitted plans. <br />Map 1 <br />This map shows the various features within the quarry itself. Permitted lands east of the <br />eastern edge of the map are not shown on the map this year because there were no changes in that area <br />of sufficient significance to show on a map. Therefore, for the eastern portions of the permit please <br />refer to maps in previous reports. <br />Various categories and classes of land aze shown on this map. Please note that although the <br />shading for Affected Land is different from other shades and patterns, all land that is shaded or <br />indicated with a fill pattern is, in fatt, affected land. The affected land at this operation has very neazly <br />reached its maximum extent. Future expansion of this operation will probably amount to no more <br />than about 1 or 2 acres and all of that will be around the southern edge of the affected land and mostly <br />in locations that will have minimal visual impact. <br />Following is an inventory of the acreage of the various parcels of land shown on this map. <br />Map Category Acreage <br />Total Affected Land (this map only) 119.62 <br />Previous Reclamation 11.0 <br />Mining 8.4 <br />New Explosive Storage area 0.84 <br />Topsoil Stockpiles 3.4 <br />Topsoil Stockpiling: Topsoils aze continuing to be contributed to this operation from vazious <br />projetts throughout the northern pan of Colorado Springs. This soil is being gathered through the <br />combined efforts of the CMRF and Castle Concrete. Much of the reclamation done during the last <br />yeaz utilized some of this soil and although it is still too early to determine the compatibility of the <br />soil with the site, initial assessments indicate a reasonably high compatibility. Weed introduction from <br />these soils will be watched closely as that has been a serious problem at Queens Canyon Quarry. <br />Chemical controls may be necessary. This has become a serious problem with using the introduced <br />soils, but the advantages of these soils appears to greatly outweighed the disadvantages. <br />Annual Report Pikeview Quarry 96/97 M-77-211 Page 1 <br />
