This is not a phased operation but the area needing reclamation at any one time is limited to 50.00 acres ±. Construction of a slurry wall around the pit was completed by Denver Water Board and South Adams County Water and Sanitation District in February 2004. Suburban Sand and Gravel Co., has ecntinued to mine the site according to the approved plan. The permitted area is 168.41 acres ±, the pit HAS NOT been granted a Temporary Cessation and it HAS operated more than 180 days this year. A check for $688.00 is attached to cover the annual fee. Please refer to the map attached for the areas discussed in this report. (1) This entire disturbed area has been stripped of topsoil and the topsoil was stockpiled around the site for use in recla- mation. At the current time we have 126.32 acres ± disturbed in the pit. Of the total area disturbed at this time 118.60 acres t, is lake area (blue), 2.27 acres is left to be mined (brown); 1.79 acres is graded, shaped(+++++); 14.22 ± is partially sloped. Mining continued on areas previously disturbed around the lake and we mined 3.95 acres on the east side of the mine (\\\). Much of this area will be below the water line when the lake refills. The magenta area on the map shows the area disturbed when the slurry wall was in- stalled, 11.57 ac. ±. This area was graded, shaped, resoiled and seeded last spring. In addition, the Highway Department has disturbed 18.55 acres of land along the northern side as they construct 120th Ave (purple). This area will be re- claimed by them as part of the construction project. The temporary settling pond on the east side was removed this year.
