FLAG SAND AND GRAVEL CD. PACE 2 NOVEMBER 27 2001 , be necessary when the lake fills with water. We are still using the Plant Site and it contains gravel stockpiles, the concrete casting beds, and the office facilities. (2) Reclamation was complete on the above water and below water slope on the north, west and south sides of the west lake area this year. This fall Steve Shuey inspected the site and released the under water slopes, fish habitat and wetland areas so dewatering could end. We estimate there will be 40.4 acres ± of water surface when the lake stabi- lizes. The green area around the west lake covers 15.60 acres t and is the area released this fall. Seeding will begin once the lake level stabilizes and the ground water level is static. Limited reclamation is needed in the east lake area as the slopes are shaped as mining progresses. (3) Mining will continue east of the Plant Site in the southwest corner on the area colored purple. The western area dewatering will end this year and the water level will be allowed to return to normal levels in the existing mined area. We will continue to monitor the constructed wetland area and do remedial work around the lake if it is neces- sary. (4) No reclamation is required next year, but if dewatering ends on the western parcel we may seed the above water slopes once the lake has stabilized. (5) The bond was evaluated in 1999 and reduced to $55,400. Review of the evaluation and this annual report show that less area is disturbed at this time that existed in 1999. Reclamation except seeding is complete on the western 59.81 acres ± of the site so the total disturbance at this time is 28.13 acres ±, which is less then allowed under the current bond. We feel it is adequate to cover all reclamation requirements for this year. The effective date of all information contained in this report is November 15, 2001. if you have any questions please call me. cc file Environment, Inc.
