Permittee Name: Tectift Construction Co. • Page 2 P(Trmit No: M_84M9 i Operation Name:_ Bailey Pit Anniversary Date: 09 / 29 / 92 (1 cont) acres ±. We have a 34.86 ac. ± Plant Site (gray) north of the river and a staging area of 5.82 acres ± south of the river where the conveyor terminal is. This staging area is used to store pit run materials until they are loaded on the conveyor for delivery to the plant. We are using only 16. 68 acres ± of the Plant Site area at this time, the other 8 . 18 acres ± will be part of Lakes 4 and 5 (dark green) . The topsoil was stockpiled in the 100 foot setback along the river so it could be used for reclamation (pink) . (2) No reclamation was required this year. Backfilling is continuing in the WETLAND DEVELOPMENT AREA in the north lake (aqua) . We have approximately 6. 65 acres filled at this time. We planted 250 Cottonwood, 60 Russian Olives and 60 Wild Plum around the north lake this spring. These trees were bareroot stock obtained from the Forest Service. The cottonwoods did very well but approximately 50% of the Russian Olives and all of the Wild Plums were eaten by some small animal. We will replant the Plums and Russian Olives again next year. No other revegetation work was preformed this year. The list below shows the total acres under various stages of reclama- tion. We have approximately 22, 300 YD3 of soil stockpiled along the river south of the river. We estimate 7, 000 YD3 will be needed for resoiling purposes. Most of the reclama- tion in the mined areas north of the river is complete. Only the east shore of Lake 1 is left to complete at this time. This can not be done until the plant site areas is mined because we are still working in this area. a. Backfilled: 6.65 ac. (tan/aqua) b. Graded: 17 .45 ac. C. Seeded: 17.45 ac. (green) e. Lake Surface: 36.93 ac. (blue) d. Topsoil Replaced: 17.45 ac. f. Ave. topsoil depth 12. 00 in. (3) Mining will continue in the Lake 2 area we will be stripping ahead of mining. We will continue to mine towards the west property line in the 250 foot band along the river. Once we reach the west side mining will progress to the south. We expect to mine 20. 00 acres ± this year in that area (yellow) . (4) Backfilling will continue in the WETLANDS DEVELOPMENT AREA. We will continue to plant trees around the lake as required in the plan. No other revegetation is required at this time. As in the past, we will seed an area when the seedbed preparation is complete and there is no danger it will be disturbed by operations in the pit. Once we have finished mining along the river the north shore slopes will be established and graded. The soil we have stored along that side will be use to resoil the slopes.
