This is the first report <br />showing the newly revised permit area, incorporating both the Four States Aggregates <br />(4SA) operation and the Montezuma County operations. <br />Since May 2002, mining has continued, and although better winter precipitation did <br />interrupt operations, there were no significant breaks in operations. However, due to <br />the last several years' drought, the winter precipitation has not helped reclamation as <br />much as desired. Therefore, for a second year in a row, the drought is preventing any <br />request for release of reclaimed areas. We may request release on some or all of the <br />areas previously reclaimed if there is adequate moisture during May-June to allow the <br />grass to meet the standard, but it will likely require an additional year, and possibly <br />reseeding some areas. <br />At present, the permit area includes 30 acres requiring grading, 52 acres requiring <br />revegetation, and 48 acres revegetated but not yet released: <br />Land Status Acrea a RemarkslMa reference <br />Reclaimed and released 10.0 Last release in 2001 <br />Previous) reclaimed, but not released 23.6 Under ermit M-1986-172 <br />Reclaimed, but not released 24.8 Ve etation not etto standard due to drou ht <br />Brought to final reclamation grade but only temporarily <br />seeded or not et seeded used for stock Ile and trafic 33.6 Includes areas A (Four States Aggregates stockpile) <br />and area B old Coun stock Ile area <br />Current) minin and IaMo erations areas 30.1 Includes areas C 4SA and D Coun lantsites <br />Cleared and rubbed; minin to be done 2003-04 18.0 Area E, not curcentl bein mined <br />Areas which may be disturbed during nerd reporting period 58.9 Maximum area, based on forecasts and current <br />minin , as well as std in antici ated. <br />Total 199.0 Of 460 acres total <br />
