_, CASTLE CONCRETE COMPANY'S MINED LAND RECLAMATION 1985 ANNUAL REPORT FOR: ' SNYDER QUARRY PERMIT NUMBER: 77-210 i ~, i, , INSPECTION FOR DATA IN REPORT: MAY 9, 1985 ,. ,. ,,., _, ~. SUMMARY: During the previous year the mining did not change much from the previous year. Reclamation was minimal and involved maintenance of the revegetation on the visual berm. However, major changes were made in the plans for the quarry through an extensive amendment that both expanded the quarry and improved the reclamation potential. RULE 2.41(1): LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ACRES AFFECTED DURING THAT YEAR. The amount of land affected during the previous year was essentially the same as it was the previos year. Mining primarily occurred in the western portions of the originally permitted area. Depth was increased further to make room for the deposition of waste materials. One small expansion into the amendment area occurred late in the year, but this did not involve mining directly. Instead, it involved the establishment of the new shop area. The area was stripped of vegetation, but at the time of the inspection for the production of the information in this report, no actual soil stripping or construction had begun. RULE 2.41(2): LOCATIONS AND NUMBER OF ACRES RECLAIMED FOR THAT YEAR. No additional areas were reclaimed this year. Some maintenance work was done on the erosion damages that developed as a result of major thunderstorms last year. These damages were filled with rip rap with the intent of producing permanent drainage channels on the berm. RULE 2.41(3): THE LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ACRES IN THE VARIOUS STAGES OF RECLAMATION (BACKFILLED, GRADED, TOPSOIL REPLACED, REVEGETATED). The three acres on the visual berm remains as the only area where final reclamation is being instituted on the permit area. Because of the amendment, none of the existing benches are final as they were previously. 1
