Very little material was <br />removed this past year and no major changes are anticipated for the upcoming <br />year. I expect to mine between one half to one acre this yeaz. I anticipated <br />beginning reseeding this past spring but was unable to accomplish that task. We <br />were working with Alamosa County to level the bottom of the pit in May as part <br />of a material donation we made to the local Boys and Girls club. The ground <br />water level was too high and made for a soft pit bottom if much material was <br />removed and the idea was abandoned. We will reseed 3 to 5 acres during the <br />next yeaz. <br />The USGS will be holding a major conference on the Geology of the San Luis <br />Valley and Northern New Mexico this September. They find the geologic strata <br />exposure in the pit to be one of the best examples of Lake Alamosa sediments in <br />the San Luis Valley. <br />rely, /~ <br />aniel M.
