Permit <br />No. M-198333, Annual Report / <br />Our files indicate that the anniversary date for this permit is <br />June 23. This pit xas xox been granted a Temporary Cessation and it xAs <br />operated more than 180 days this year. The Financial Warranty for <br />this operation was reviewed in 2004 and at $741,500 was determined to <br />be adequate. The permitted area is 292.07 ac. ± and the pit is <br />divided into 6 Reclamation Phases. R sign that conforms with rule <br />3.1.12 Sxcxs AND MAttxsns is at the entrance to the quarry on the scale <br />house. Please refer to the 2004-05 Annual Report Map for the location <br />of areas discussed in this report. This is a quarry operation, as a <br />result we remove large amounts of material without disturbing large <br />areas of land. The oil & fuel spill containment units have been <br />completed and installed on the oil and fuel tanks for this mine. <br />We will deal specifically with each of the Annual Report require- <br />ments as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations, and the <br />annual notice letter. <br />(1) Total disturbance to date in Stage I remains at 69.44 acres ±. <br />We mined deeper along the face this year lowering benches and <br />have begun to mine in part of the area stripped last year. The <br />upper 5 benches in the eastern part of the mined area have been <br />completed (green). As the face moved east more floor area was <br />created. The current face area covers approximately 28.62 acres <br />± (brown). Mining continued on the area previously stripped in <br />Phase I, this includes the floor area (orange), and the working <br />face (brown). We have continued to retain fill in the secondary <br />access corridor as approved in the plan and a second topsoil <br />storage pile was established north of the mined area that covers <br />7.27 acres t (yellow). The stripped area on the southern part of <br />the mine remains unchanged from last year (purple). <br />(2) The upper 5 benches covering 2.91 acres that will remain undis- <br />turbed from this time forward are partially reclaimed (green). <br />
