During 2007 approximately <br />0.25 acres of new excavation occurred along the northern limits of the existing <br />pit. We anticipate an additional 0.5 acres of new excavation along the north and <br />northwest sides of the existing pit during 2008. The detention pond that was <br />created in 2006 at the southeast corner of the pit worked well during the 2007 <br />season. <br />As shown on the attached map, we are proposing to reslope and reseed a small <br />area just west of the stockpiles during 2008. This will allow us the opportunity <br />to reclaim a portion of the disturbed ground and to access the success of our <br />seed mix. <br />Although during 2007 we anticipated applying for a revision of the pit <br />boundaries from the current 25.56 acres to 36.04 acres to bring the permit <br />boundary into agreement with the ownership lines and with the limits of the <br />Conditional Use Permit granted by Freemont County as per CUP 06-002 <br />(Rockbottom Gravel Pit), we determined that the slow growth of the pit did not <br />warrant the expansion at this time. We still anticipate adding the additional 10.5 <br />acres at some point in the future. <br />,Sins rely, <br />C ~1 <br />Daniel M. R sell <br />Rockbottom, LLC <br />
