The <br />new road was nearly completed in early May, 1983, with only <br />minor work needed on sediment control systems. The abandoned <br />road was regraded and seeded. Test plots were established <br />and the ecological succession study was initiated on the <br />south end of Tract AB. A technical revision to initiate <br />mining in Tract AC was also approved. <br />Rule 2.41(1): Mining occurred over an area of <br />about 4 to 5 acres throughout the year. Generally, this was <br />the same area mined the previous year, except for mining of <br />the limestone fin on the Tract AA/WDT boundary. <br />Stockpile, plant and shop areas remained unchanged. <br />During the winter, work began on the new access road with <br />use beginning in early May. As a result of a last minute <br />design change in the connecting road, a change required by <br />the City of Colorado Springs, cut slopes were unfortunately <br />built taller than expected and fill quantities were greatly <br />reduced from the originally planned 50/50 balance between <br />cut and fill. As a result, very little waste was taken from <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
