No fertilizers or soil conditioners were used. The seeding was done in late fall to facilitate germination in the early spring with the best moisture conditions. No estimate of success is possible at this time. During 1986, approximately 40,000 tons of crushed and sized gypsum rock was produced and shipped from the mine. On October 24, 1986, an amended permit appplication was filed with the Division for the amendment of permit M-84-041. This amendment will move most of the operations to a location which is approximately 3000 feet North of the present operation area. It is anticipated that the amended permit will be granted by the Board in late January 1987, and operations will be moved to the new site during February through June of 1987. Some of the onsite ways will also serve the new location. It is anticipated that following the move, 2.7 acres of moderate disturbance and 3.8 acres of major disturbance can be graded and seeded during 1987. Consideration is being given to the use of stabilized sewage treatment plant sludge as a soil conditioner for areas accessable to the Upper Eagle Valley Sanitation District sludge spreading truck. Anticipated affected area for the new location is discussed on pages 2 and 3 of Exhibit D of the application for amendment of permit M-84-041.
