This was because of the large <br />quantity of material that was available within areas that had previously been prepared for mining. Only <br />one area on the north side of the affected land was additionally opened, but little attual mining occurred <br />there. This expansion of the disturbed area is in preparation for initiation of the second part of the <br />initial stage which will eventually lead to a major expansion of the quarry floor. <br />The large storms during late April and early May did little damage to the quarry itself, as was the <br />case in the past. However, the access road, once again, was closed by the devastating floods that hit all of <br />southeastern Colorado during that period. Portions of the road had to be rebuilt to regain access to the <br />quarry. <br />Annual Report Maps: The enclosed color map shows the primary areas of disturbance and the type of <br />disturbance occurring in each area. As the mining expanded northward, the previously revegetated area <br />was largely removed. It is likely, this excellent work will be completely gone during the next year. <br />Affected Lands: The amount of affected land has increased primarily due to the stripping on the north <br />side of the initial stage. <br />Revegetation: The site is stable and is not subject to erosion. This became most evident as a result of <br />the April/May flooding when Turkey Creek turned into a river, but little material left the quarry even <br />though incredible amounts of precipitation impacted the site for several consecutive da}'s. <br />Expected Activity (2000): The mining zone (orange on the map) will expand some northward into the <br />stripped area (brown). It is also possible the southern portion of the mining zone will e:tpand laterally <br />(east and/or west) into stripped and prepared ]and. The former is more likely than the latter because the <br />priority at this point is on expanding the quarry floor rather than expanding the mined area east and <br />west along the south boundary. <br />Bonding: This operation is covered by a self bond.
