The Financial Warranty <br />for this operation is $71,755.00, the permitted area is in Logan <br />County, covers 105.55 ac. ± and the pit is not phased. The bond <br />was reevaluated when the permit amendment was approved in 2003. <br />As required in Rule 1.6 the MINE PERMIT SIGN is at the entrance to <br />the pit and the boundary has been outlined with posts to delin- <br />eate the Permit Boundary. <br />The annual report requirements in the MLRB Rules and Regula- <br />tions, and the annual review letter are addressed in the follow- <br />ing report, Please refer to the 2002-2003 ANNUAL REPORT MAP submit- <br />ted last year for areas discussed in this report. <br />(1) We continued to remove material stockpiled last year. There <br />is approximately 4.18 acres stripped and partially mined on <br />the site (brown). The working face is left as a highwall as <br />allowed in the permit. This face will continue to be worked <br />to the south this year if additional materials are needed. <br />The working floor area where material is stockpiled and <br />processes covers approximately 15.53 acres (/// hatch pat- <br />tern) and remains unchanged from last year. <br />(2) Reclamation was completed on 14.93 acres ± in the northern <br />part of the site in 2003. All sloping, recoiling, shaping <br />and seeding was completed in that area (green). Grass has <br />germinated on the seeded area. There is a heavy cover of <br />weeds that shade the grasses and hold moisture on the <br />ground. This is common in the area and we expect to see <br />fewer weeds next growing season as the grasses spread. The <br />seeding has been successful so we are only monitoring the <br />success at this time. <br />
