A small part of <br />the pit area, approximately 1 acre, is used for gravel product storage. Gravel is processed off site and <br />transported to the site for storage. This area is part of Stage 1 that is shown on the Mining Plan Map. That <br />part of Stage 1 that is the Nort(t Fork of the Gunnison's channel, is flooded each yeaz as mountain snow <br />melts. A berm has been constructed and the ground elevation has been rased at the Stockpile Area that is <br />shown on the attached map. This prevents flooding of this area most years. <br />At the northwest part of the permit, the North Fork of the Gunnison River passes through the permit area. A <br />triangular shaped piece of land at the Northwest comer of the permit has not been disturbed by mining. <br />This area was called Stage 2 on the approved Mining Plan Map.
