Permittee: WHITEWATER BUILDING MATERIALS CORP. PAGE 3 Pernik #: M-77-129 Operation Name: WHITEWATER 500 PIT Anniversary Date: 09/22105 an uphill battle since there is little or no control taking place on properties surrounding the mine and seed is being wind blown in from offsite areas that we have no control over. Spraying will continue as needed. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will not let us spray within 10 feet of the lake in Phase 1. Voluntary Tamarisk control will begin this fall in Phase 1 that was flooded this spring. (3) Mining will continue on the north end of Stage 2 - PART B this year working to the south. In Stage E the mine face will move to the east entering Stage F. If more area is needed, we will resume stripping ahead of the mining face in both stages where mining is taking place. The operator will continue to stockpile growth medium along the perimeters of the mined area so when sloping is done it can be respread. (4) A revised weed control plan was approved as Technical Revi- sion #3 on 4/26/05 that addresses noxious weed control including Knapweed, White Top, Russian Olive and Tamarisk. This plan will be followed as mining progresses. Bank sloping and grading will continue in Phase 2 - PARTS A & B that are left to be shaped (blue cross hatch). We will continue to assist the Bureau of Land Management on revegetating the land they now control around and including Phase 1.
