Permit <br />No. M-83-033, Annual Report <br />FEDERAL TAX IDi# <br />Our files indicate that the anniversary date for this permit is <br />June 23. This pit ansoror been granted a Temporary Cessation and it aAs <br />operated more than 180 days this year. The Financial Warranty for <br />this operation was reviewed in 2002 and is $741,500, the permitted <br />area is 292.07 ac: t and the pit is divided into 6 Reclamation Phases. <br />A sign that conforms with rule 3.1.12 Sioxa atm M~Re is at the entrance <br />to the quarry on the scale house. Please refer to the Annual Report <br />Map for the location of areas discussed in this report. This is a <br />quarry operation, as a result we remove large amounts of material <br />without disturbing large areas of land. <br />We will deal specifically with each of the Annual Report require- <br />ments as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations, and the <br />annual notice letter. <br />(1) Total disturbance to date in Stage I is 49.16 acres ±. We mined <br />deeper along the face this year lowering benches. As the face <br />moved east more floor area was created. The current face area <br />has changed this year as more area was stripped and partially <br />mined and covers approximately 20.36 acres ± (brown). Mining <br />continued on the area previously stripped in Phase I, this in- <br />cludes the floor area (green), and the working face (brown). We <br />have continued to place fill in the secondary access corridor as <br />approved in the plan. Anew access road was built along the <br />north rim of the mine this spring in preparation for relocating <br />the powerline and mining into the new area. <br />(2) No reclamation was required this year. Minor amounts of backfill <br />continue to be placed in the valley on the eastern side of Phase <br />Z as approved (yellow). This area still c acres. As <br />approved in the mining plan only the mine benches will need <br />recoiling. Stage X was cleaned and graded as required in the <br />permit and Stage Z is permitted in the county for commercial <br />
