Additional Page <br />2003 Annual Report <br />Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry <br />M-1989-065 <br />Centennial Materials, Inc. <br />Anniversary Date: April 26 <br />Overview of Permit Year: During the 2002/2003 operating year [here was a great deal of activity at this site. <br />Most of the operation remains much as it was last year. The small northward expansion of the Main Quarry that <br />occurred last year was not completed and will be the primary location of mining during 2003. There was limited <br />activity at the Cut Stone Quarry partion and that disturbance remains rather small and essentially identical to <br />last year. One additional small shot was done on the west, but the increase in area is so small it is not actually <br />definable on the map. <br />Annual Report Maps: Enclosed axe four color maps showing the primary areas of disturbance and the type <br />of disturbance occurring in each area. Map 1 shows the entire site and is primarily a guide map. Map 2 includes <br />the Cutstone portion and Maps 3a and 36 show the information for the Main Quarry area. <br />Affected Lands: The amount of affected land remains at 88.5 acres, as it was last year. However, 5.1 acres <br />were successfully seeded. <br />A significant portion of the total affected land is contained in the access road. The Cut Stone portion <br />amounts to about 5 acres, including the access road to that site. The remainder is involved in the main quarry <br />operation, stockpiles, and office area. The plant remains located down in the quarry hole. The stockpIles are still <br />kept out of the quarry hole, but some stockpiling is done near the plant, as is usually the case. <br />Revegetation: In the main quarry area, 5.1 acres were seeded. Considering the severity of the drought in 2002, <br />it is amazing that the seeding was as successful as it was. Although some bare patches are present, most of the <br />area shows good germination and establishment. This was the first actual quarry reclamation implemented. <br />Additional land is being prepared fox reclamation. <br />Expected Activity (2003/2004): The Cut Stone quarry area will undergo considerable change. The cut stone <br />stockpile location has been moved to the main quarry area where the cut stone can be distributed more <br />efficiently. The former area of the stockpile is being cleaned and will be revegetated in the next year. That will <br />reduce the amount of unxeclaimed disturbance in this area. Other portions of this part of the operation will <br />remain as they currently axe. A secondary cut stone stockpile on the southwest side of the main quarry may also <br />be eliminated and reclaimed. <br />A large soIl stockpile has been completed on the southeast side of the main quarry and will be seeded in <br />the next year. Some additional backfilling will occur in the main quarry in preparation for additional <br />reclamation. <br />In the event the mining on the north end of the main quarry is completed in the next year (not likely), <br />then development will begin on the south end of the quarry in preparation fox moving south. This was expected <br />to occur last year, but as it turned out there was more than enough material left on the north end of the main <br />quarry area to supply the needs and the remainder will likely supply the needs fox the next year. <br />Bonding: This operation is covered by a self bond. A copy of the latest financial statement is enclosed (only <br />provided to DMG). <br />M-1989-065 Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry <br />Schmidt Construction Company 2003 Annual Report Page 1 of 1 <br />
