<br />RECEIVED <br />ANNUAL REPORT M-1984-044, SAN ISABEL PIT JUN 1 0 2002 <br />Division of Minerals and Geolagy <br />The only activity during this period continues to be removal of materials from stockpiles <br />in the pit. No new mining will be conducted in this pit. Removal of the existing <br />stockpiles is expected to take several years. Approximately 3,000 tons of material from <br />the stockpiles was removed this year. <br />During the coming year it is expected that final slopes can be placed on the excavated <br />slopes and and at least a portion of the stockpiled topsoil can be placed on the slopes and <br />they can be seeded. This will not be done if the extreme drought conditions continue in <br />the area. The little bit of existing vegetation on the slopes_and the topsoil stockpiles aze <br />better than can be achieved by disturbing and seeding in drought conditions. <br />The pit has been monitored for noxious weeds and none exist within the pit limits at this <br />time. Control measures will be taken should the need azise. <br />RECEIVED <br />JUN 01 2002 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />
