<br />III, AREAS MINED IN 2005 <br />3.01 Central Quarry <br />' Mining was completed in the Central Quarry by December 2001. The Central Quarry is <br />currently being used as a water storage reservoir, serviced by a water transmission line installed <br />along the road on the west side of the quarry. <br />' 3.02 North Quarry <br />' During 2005, the North Quarry was mined in the northern, western, and eastem areas. Mining <br />in the northern area was from Bench B down to Bench C, and at the end of 2005 the highwalls <br />and benches were essentially to their final planned limits. Mining in the western area was from <br />Bench 1 down to Bench C. Although the mining has not reached the planned limits, it is likely <br />that these highwalls and benches are at their final configuration due to operational <br />considerations. At the end of 2005 the highwalls and benches at the southern and eastem sides <br />' are not to final planned limits. Figure I b shows the approximate limits of the final and <br />temporary bench configurations. Mining has generally continued in a sequence of 40-ft <br />highwalls with benches 40 ft to 50 ft wide. <br />r <br /> <br />i <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />C~ <br />1 <br /> <br />
