,~ ...'ANNUAL REPORT <br />' Permit 80-20 <br />September 14, <br />Page 2 <br />• • <br />1982 <br />extent of 7.77 acres, and just a small fraction of Sector No. <br />4 of .13 acre were also effected. Hence, the mining plan is <br />proceeding as proposed and projected in the Amended Permit <br />Application. The southern end of the existing pit, since the <br />last Annual Report, has been excavated to a greater depth <br />than existed of between 3 and 5 feet. <br />2. The location and number of areas reclaimed in the past year <br />is none. This corresponds to the projection in the Amended <br />Reclamation Plan which was approved, because it was expected <br />that, within five years of the Amended Application, Phase 1 <br />of reclamation, which would be that area bounded by and <br />including Sector 1 on the East and Sector 2 on the West, the <br />northernmost boundary being parallel to the southernmost <br />boundary of the Pit, would be reclaimed. Reclamation would <br />commence only on full excavation of the remaining materials, <br />which, of course, has not yet been accomplished. A <br />projection from three to five years from the date of the <br />Amended Permit was noted as the range between the earliest <br />and the latest date of reclamation of this first phase. <br />Again, no reclamation has been undertaken and one year has <br />elapsed from the date of the Amended Permit. <br />3. Information requested regarding the location and number of <br />acres in various stages of reclamation, the species of <br />vegetation planted, the location and approximate dates of <br />planting, the type and approximate quantity of fertilizers, <br />organic material or soil conditioners used and location of <br />use, and an appraisal of the success of reclamation efforts, <br />and in the event of failure of any efforts, a short narrative <br />on the suspected or determined causes of such failure are not <br />applicable because no reclamation to date has been <br />undertaken. Please note, again, reclamation is not expected <br />to commence except, at the earliest, two years from this <br />point in time, and at the latest, four years from this point <br />of time in the first phase of three phases of reclamation <br />expected. <br />4. The estimate of the location and the number of areas to be <br />affected in the coming year are none. It is expected there <br />will be no further expansion of the present perimeter as <br />shown on Map "D". Mining is expected to proceed within this <br />present perimeter to greater depths. If any additional areas <br />are affected, they would be additional areas in Sectors 2, 3 <br />and 4, expanding the pit outward in that direction. <br />5. The effective date of the information provided is the date <br />set forth above. <br />f ~ .__ <br />
