<br />ADDITIONAL COMMENTS <br />PIKEVIEW QUARRY <br />PERMIT # M-77-211 <br />MAP: A map is provided that shows the layout of the operation as of Mavy 1992. The map also <br />shows some of the historical reclamation areas that have been implemented and/or completed since <br />the permit was issued. Lz short, this map shows everything of c~uxent and past significance. <br />COMMENTS ON CERTAIN FEATURES: <br />MINE ACCESS ROADS: The south mine access mad will not be eliminated, but will be <br />used as simply an alternate mute. Backfilling with excess waste to the north of the mining area and <br />on top of mined out land has produced a ramp that will be the foundation for a shorter haul mute. <br />This not only makes the operation more efficient but is necessary to comply with air pollution <br />requirements. Previously, mined rock was simply pushed over the side where it would roll down to a <br />lower level for haul out. When the ground is moist there is no problem, but when the ground is dry <br />this method produces too much dust. Therefore, pushing will be minimized and rock will be hauled <br />to the plant almost directly from the mining area. A similar system was implemented at the Snyder <br />Quarry last year and considerably reduces the amount of dust the operation produces. <br />PLANT AREA: Soon after this report is submitted, a rock washing facility will be installed <br />at the plant area. This will considerably increase the capability of the operation. The system will be <br />a closed washing system utilizing tanks for water storage. <br />REVEGETATION CONDITION: All revegetation work at this quarry has met with <br />considerable success. Density, cover, and diversity appears to be high in all but a few locations. It is <br />anticipated that a complete analysis of all revegetation work will be performed in the Bummer of <br />1992. <br />Page 1 Supplemental Sheet M-77-211 1992 Annual Report <br />
