In late February <br />1990 the operation was closed to further <br />mining. All lands are now under reclamation <br />activity. <br />RULE 2.41(1): LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ACRES AFFECTED DURING <br />THAT YEAR. <br />During the first half of the permit year, the number of <br />acres affected changed little from the previous year. The <br />total affected land during that time remained at about 45 to <br />50 acres. <br />In late February Castle Concrete announced the closure <br />of this quarry to further mining. The only rock sold at <br />this quarry will be that which is still present in <br />stockpiles. Therefore, as of that announcement the entire <br />operation was shifted into a total reclamation mode. <br />The Mountain Scar Commission performed an extensive <br />analysis of possible visual mitigation approaches that could <br />be used in the reclamation process. Many of these <br />recommendations have been taken under consideration. <br />RULE 2.41(2): LOCATIONS AND NUMBER OF ACRES RECLAIMED FOR <br />THAT YEAR. <br />Approximately 25 acres of land was placed under f:tnal <br />reclamation in the last year. Much of this land was outside <br />the actual permit boundary and was in the Tract 2 area <br />uphill from the permit. Grading and backfilling plans for <br />other areas of the quarry are currently under examinat:.on <br />for implementation through an ongoing process spread over <br />the next few years. <br />Page 1 of 3 QUEEN'S CANYON QLAWY 1989 - 1990 ANNUAL REPORT <br />
