Each is mined by a different operator under this single permit. This pit HAS NOT been granted a Temporary Cessa- tion and it HAS operated more than 180 days this year. The approved bond amount is $84,200 covering 75.74 acres t, and the facility has seven mining and reclamation phases. Please refer to the attached 2006-2007 Annual Report Map for the areas discussed in this text. We will deal specifically with the Annual Report requirements as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations and those noted in the annual letter. {1) Clay - No new area was disturbed by the clay mining operation this year. We continued to mine deeper on approximately 2.01 acres (///) on the land previously disturbed (blue) north of the ditches in Stage II. Approximately 23.21 acres is disturbed by the clay operation in Stages O, I and II. This included the old clay mined area south of the ditches, the Clay Plant Site (pur- ple) and the storage area (tan). Gravel - A total o£ 12.75 acres is being used as plant site area in Stage A (orange). Mining continues along the east side of Stage A marked with the following hatching symbol (///), it cover 4.53 ac. ±. The gravel operation has disturbed 28.42 acres ± in the mine (\\\). Mining was limited this year as most of the gravel mined came from the Rocky Flats Pit. They continued to mine deeper into the deposit and blend the floor of the mines along the eastern permit boundary. Some waste rock was removed for use by the mineral owners from the southwest prelaw stockpile area. (2) No reclamation was required this year. Filling continued on the old clay mining area in the green areas shown in Stage O. No additional reclamation is required until mining for both materi- als is completed in any given stage.
