•~ <br />ANNUAL REPORT <br />PERMITEE NAME: The Regents of the University of Colorado <br />PERMIT NO: M-1981-302 <br />OPERATION NAME: Deepe Farm Pit <br />ANNIVERSARY DATE: Apri19, 2008 <br />ANNUAL FEE DUE: $791.00 <br />COUNTY: Boulder <br />From April, 2007 thru March, 2008 no mining or reclamation activities have occurred on <br />the Deepe Farm Pit mining area with the exception of on-going weed management, as <br />needed. Additionally, cattle grazing activities have occurred on a portion of the pit site <br />which has assisted in keeping the weeds under control. The University has also <br />contracted for the services of a goat herder to herd several tens of goats on portions of the <br />property to assist in weed management. These animal activities have proven to be very <br />successful in the management of weeds on the property. The grasses on the property are <br />thriving and weeds continue to be a non-issue on this Deepe Farm Pit site. Additionally, <br />this spring, the willow growth that had been occurring at the edges of the levee <br />embankment were eliminated. <br />In 2008-09, there are no plans to disturb any of those areas remaining within this permit. <br />However, if during our regular inspections we note areas where vegetative cover is <br />sparse, re-seeding will occur as needed. On-going weed management will also be <br />undertaken, as appropriate. The University may continue grazing the site during the next <br />year. No other activities are anticipated. <br />We have enclosed some photographs of the site in its current condition. <br />The University of Colorado will mail a check in the amount of $791.00 to cover the cost <br />of the annual fee. <br />We have also attached a map delineating the current mining site area. <br />The April semi-annual levee inspection report will be submitted to your office under <br />separate cover. <br />Following are representative photographs of the site as of 04-08-2008. <br />
