Additional Page <br />2001-2002 Annual Report <br />Snyder (quarry <br />M-77-210 <br />Castle Concrete Company <br />Anniversary Date: May 27 <br />Overview of Permit Year: During the 2001-2002 operating year activity increased. Rock extraction <br />increased due to the strengthening market. <br />Annual Report Maps: The attached map shows the primary areas of disturbance and the type of <br />disturbance occurring in each area. This is virtually identical to last year. <br />Affected Lands: The amount of affected land has not increased primarily due to the activity being <br />confined to previously disturbed land. The large, central waste pile has been further reduced. <br />Backfilling continues; last year approximately 50 feet of material was placed into the excavated area at <br />the back of the quarry. Minor excavation work occurred south and west of the scale. Mining activity <br />occurred east of the "West Ridge." Reclamation and reshaping was done on the north end of the mine. <br />More reclamation work is expected near the mine over the next year. <br />Revegetation: The site is stable and is not subject to erosion. A weed control plan is being designed <br />and will soon be implemented. No major revegetation occurred. Minor enhanced reclamation (tree <br />planting) was done along east side of the haul road. The existing trees along the road corridor have <br />done moderately well. <br />Road Corridor: Routine grading and shaping of the road corridor occurred. The electric power poles <br />along the road were moved to the east side for safety reasons. <br />Expected Activity (2002 - 2003): Production will most likely continue next year. Quantity depends <br />on the market situation. <br />Bonding: This operation is covered by a corporate bond. <br />Castle Concrete 2002 Annual Report M-77-210 Snyder Quarry Page 1 of 1 <br />
