• ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. <br />SNYDER QUARRY <br />PERMIT >YM-77-210 <br />ENHANCED RECLAMATION NEGOTIATIONS: Negotiations over enhanced reclamation are <br />continuing and nearing completion. It is possible that a result of the negotiations will be a <br />complete redesign of the remainder of the quarry, including the removal of ABOUT 10 acres <br />of currently permitted but yet undisturbed land from the mining plan and the production of an <br />over excavation hole to make up for the removed reserves. This approach would modify <br />Phases III and IV, but leave Phases I and II essentially as they are. <br />TREE PLANTINGS: As required by Board order the tree plantings along the roadway and in <br />Williams Canyon are to be reported on an annual basis. The survey of the tree numbers is <br />planned as part of a general revegetation survey analysis to be conducted in June. The results <br />of the tree survey portions of that revegetation analysis will be provided at a later date. <br />SEDIMENT BASINS: As required by Board order, the condition of the sediment basins is to <br />be reported annually. At this time, the sediment basins appear to be doing a reasonably <br />effective job at capturing sediment. However, due to the high volume of the ponds in <br />comparison to the small area they serve, there has not been a need to clean the ponds. There <br />is still a considerable amount of available volume in the ponds. Being beside the road, they <br />are easily monitored and if the volume increases suddenly due to a major storm they will be <br />cleaned out. <br />Page 1 Supplemental Sheet M-77-210 1993 Annual Report <br />
