<br />CASTLE OOIdCRETE COMPANY'S <br />1982 ANNUAL RFPOFQ' <br />SNYDER QUARRY <br />~~-uo <br /> <br />P^..Y 2 7 1982 <br />~ P°°" <br />tinr~~n ~ai~n R~c~ar~ario~u <br />Co!o Cept. ct Aiatural Reso!~rces <br />INl%)1XICTION: In a generalized view, the changes at this quarry in <br />the last year have not been of a large nature. The underground mine has <br />been essentially shut down until demand for the high calcium limestone <br />increases. The open pit has continued to operate and several new benches <br />created, especially at the back of the quarry. The visual berm was <br />graded in a large part and seeded to provide growth that can help mitigate <br />the visual impact of the quarry. <br />RULE 2.41(1): The acreage of mined land increased about 1 acre <br />over that of the previous year. This leaves about 1 acre within the <br />permit boundary that needs to have mining initiated. Most of the mining <br />in the last year occurred on the west, northwest, and north side of the <br />quarry. By year's end, the time was approaching when the processing <br />plant would need to be iroved so the center of the pit crould be mined. <br />therefore, by year's end, the operation was nearing the end of the <br />Initial Step in developing the open pit mine. <br />Waste rock has now beoane a problem because the berm has been <br />finished and there is no longer any place to put the waste and because <br />the market for the waste product has softened. At present, a plan is <br />being developed to dispose of this waste. Nearby projects may place a <br />great demand for this waste, but that need may not develop for score <br />time. In the meantime, some place must be found to put the waste, <br />
