.. <br />• application to the Jefferson County Board of Adjustments concerning <br />its mining operations over the life of the mine. <br />Asphalt Paving Co. continues to make improvements and to upgrade <br />the operation. We are committed to providing a quality operation <br />and a safe work place. <br />Reclamation continues to be accomplished as per the recommendations <br />of THK Associates and will continue per the stages included and <br />submitted with that plan. The crested wheat grasses, along with <br />blue gamma and rye grasses, are rolled and compacted into the soil <br />after seeding to insure limited wind loss. On-site reclamation is <br />being expanded in an ever-widening semicircle as mining is <br />completed. Reclamation signs have been installed to alert all <br />incoming visitors that reclamation is an important part of our <br />activity. Additionally, more signs (litter, speed and trespass) <br />have been installed. <br />During this past year, additional reclamation was accomplished. A <br />little more than three acres along the east facing berm was <br />reseeded. Inasmuch as the quarry operation has not ceased, the <br />remaining flat benches have not yet been addressed. Our mining <br />continues northward. We continue to expose new rock, bench by <br />bench. <br />A reclamation bond continues to be provided to the Colorado Mined <br />• Land Reclamation Board as well as Jefferson County in the monetary <br />amount defined by the Land Reclamation Board and is consistent with <br />their normal and accepted schedule of fees. <br />A public liability and property damage umbrella insurance policy in <br />the amount of $2 million has been kept in full force. Asphalt <br />Paving Co. agrees to actively pursue a policy that continually <br />operates within all applicable rules, regulations and statutes of <br />the county, state or federal agency having jurisdiction over any <br />aspect of the operation. <br />Water spray bars continue to be in operation and are installed at <br />dust producing points in the crushing operation. During this past <br />year, even more water hoses and spray bars were installed. Water <br />trucks continue to spray the stockpiles, the stockpile areas and <br />the quarry floor as well as those areas which have been <br />revegetated. Most access roads have been paved eliminating the <br />need for continuous watering on the quarry access roads. Asphalt <br />Paving Co. continues to try to be advised of the latest technology <br />for new methods of dust control. In recognizing our obligations to <br />the Board, when new technology is available, we will continue to <br />avail ourselves of it. In the event of extreme wind conditions, <br />Asphalt Paving Co. continues to shut down its entire crushing <br />operation. <br />• <,~,n~~v.,~~ 6 <br />
