Additional Pages <br />2005 Annual Report <br />Fountain Pit <br />M-1982-155 <br />Schmidt Construction Company <br />Anniversary Date: December 31 <br />Overview of Permit Year: During the 2005 operating year there was moderate activity at this site. The mining <br />expanded slightly into previously unstripped land. It is expected that a little more land will be stripped during <br />the next year. <br />Annual Report Maps: The annual report map looks very similar to the 2004 map, but the mining boundaries <br />have shifted slightly. <br />Affected Lands: The amount of affected land has increased very slightly in the last year. The same processes <br />of operating the pit are being used as have been used in the past. The plant was relocated to the southeastern <br />corner of the pit, much closer to the actual extraction. Conveyors now carry the material to stockpiles closer to <br />the scale. <br />Revegetation: The site is stable and is not subject to erosion. No additional xevegetation was done in the last <br />year. Topsoil has been stockpiled around the north edge in preparation for final topsoiling of the slope south of <br />the stockpiles. However, some additional final grading and topsoiling was done on the very north end of the <br />operation. <br />Expected Activity (2006): Mining will primarily proceed eastward into cuxxendy stripped land and new, <br />undisturbed land. The operation will primarily move in an eastward dixecdon during the next year before <br />turning south again. <br />Bonding: This operation is covered by a self bond. <br />Schmidt Construction Company 2005 Annual Report M-1982-155 Fountain Pit Page 1 of 1 <br />
