<br />ATTACHMENT FOR THE 1~ ANNUAL REPORT <br />FOR THE PIKEVIEW QUARRY - M-77-211 <br />CASTLE CONCRETE COMPANY <br />MAP: The map included in this years annual report is intended to show <br />only the area that was placed under reclamation this year. Otherwise, <br />the operation has changed very little from last year. <br />1991 RECLAMATION: The area reclaimed included primarily south and east <br />facing slopes in the vicinity o£ the shop. The moat easterly strip <br />involved s regrading and retopsoiling of an area that had been <br />previously reclaimed. This area, due to the infiltration of water which <br />appears to have been controlled, underwent a severe slump several years <br />ago. Now that the water problem has apparently been solved the slope <br />was reclaimed again. <br />The western portion of the 1991 reclamation involved the grading <br />and topsoiling of an area that had not been previously under <br />reclamation. <br />The three acres of seeded and three acres of topsoil replaced <br />indicated on the form include all of the lands described above. <br />The five acres of backfilling is at the base of the quarry backwall <br />in Tract AA. This is being done in anticipation of the enhanced <br />reclamation plan to be implemented in accordance with the <br />recommendations of the scar commission and the City/County Reclamation <br />Advisory Committee in Colorado Springs. That plan is currently being <br />considered by various parties. This backfilling, if approved as part o£ <br />the enhanced reclamation plan, will continue in small pieces for the <br />remainder of the life of the mine. Reclamation of the back£illed areas <br />will be implemented as sections are completed. <br />The 65 to 70 acres of affected land includes not only the area of <br />actual extraction but all roadways, processing areas, stockpiles, and <br />the extensive shop and maintenance area. <br />
