Additional Page <br />2001 Annual Report <br />Pueblo East Pit <br />M-1986-015 <br />Transit Mix of Pueblo <br />Anniversary Date: November 12 <br /> <br />~'a!~ i ': ~ ~. 1 <br />Division of illinercls and Geology <br />Overview of Permit Year: Preparation for mining was the primary activity at the site during the last <br />year. Dewatering was begun, the plant site constructed, and most of the existing permit area was <br />stripped. Work continued on the amendment which should be submitted before the end of 2001. <br />Annual Report Maps: This year only one annual repon map is submitted. This maps shows the <br />locations and types of disturbances that occurred at the site. <br />Affected Lands: Most of the permit area west of the large drainage ditch that divides the permit was <br />stripped of vegetation. Soil was removed from a portion of the area and stockpiled in the northwestern <br />comer of the site where the overburden is too thick to make mining feasible. Several ditches were <br />excavated across the area and dewatering was initiated. Overburden was stripped from the area enclosed <br />by the dewatering ditches. This overburden was distributed in many thin lifts due south of the batch <br />plant location. (Note: The batch plant is a separate operation that is not included in the permit as it is <br />technically not affected land resulting from this operation; it predates the operation.) As the plant site <br />was developed, each lift was compaeeed to create a firm base for the processing plant. This location will <br />also be used for the processing plant after the amendment enlarges the operation. Some additional <br />excavations occurred west of the dewatering area to obtain some additional overburden for the plant <br />site. The plant site is nearly level, but does have a very slight slope southward to aid in the drainage of <br />the site into the pit area. By the end of the permit year the plant site was very nearly completed, but no <br />equipment had been installed. In essence, the plant site is a more or less square platform elevated many <br />feet above the surrounding land so it will stay comparatively dry. <br />Dewatering was done by pumping the water through pipes to the east side of the drainage ditch <br />where it was discharged into old mining areas. The water then follows a path that leads through cattail <br />marshes and a large pond adjacent to the river. Ac the downriver side of the pond, a culvert carries water <br />from the large pond and discharges it into the riparian forest to the east. From there it seeps into the <br />groundwater or spreads out through the forest area and eventually returns to the river. Water quality is <br />excellent and the forest has benefitted from the additional water. <br />Revegetatiott: None. <br />Expected Activity (2002): Mining will begin in early 2002. The amendment being prepared will merge <br />this initial operation into the larger operation to follow. <br />Bonding: This operation is covered by a corporate bond. <br />Transit Mix of Pueblo 2001 Annual Report M-1986-015 Pueblo East Pit Page 1 of 1 <br />
