Reclamation <br />hydro-seeding was completed on an additional total of 7.0 acres of slopes of the Former <br />Mine B waste rock area. Reclamation re-sloping continues in additional areas of Former <br />Mine B. There are no changes to the Former Mine A map (designated "Exhibit A") and <br />included in the 2003 report so it is not included again with this year's submittal. <br />The portion of Eagle County Road #51 which serves as a haul road was treated <br />with a lignosite dust suppressant. Road base material was replaced on worn areas of the <br />road at that time. <br />Approximately 535,000 tons of gypsum rock were shipped from the mine during <br />2007. <br />3 <br />
