M-2004-009-AM-1 <br />REPORT YEAR: <br />AUG. 4, 2007 THRU AUG. 4, 2008 <br />This DMG Regular 112 Permit (No. M-2004-009-AM-1) was approved by the Division <br />for operations on August 4, 2004 and the later amendment to this permit was approved on <br />June 21, 2006, expanding the area to be mined by approximately 75 acres. The total <br />permit area is 275 acres while the area permitted to be mined is 159 acres. Mining and <br />production of sand and gravel began on the site in September 2004. <br />During the report year, mining occurred only south half of the permit area, with <br />reclamation (backflling) occurring on the- north -half. Approximately 13.0 acres were <br />mined. Approximately 3.4 acres were backfilled, constituting reclamation for the year. <br />All backfilling was done on areas that were mined previous to the current reporting year. <br />During the next reporting year, approximately 8.0 acres will be mined to the east of the <br />current mined area in the south half of the permit area. Reclamation will consist <br />primarily of backfill on the west side of the south half of the permit area in the strip along <br />the permit boundary in Cell 2. Wash water ponds will be moved to the upper south-half <br />of the permit area, as the current wash pond area will be excavated for a reservoir. <br />A Technical Revision to reduce the permit area of this permit and a Surety Reduction <br />request to reduce the bond amount has been submitted to the Division for this permit. <br />Approximately 120 acres of the mined area is to be taken over by the Town of Erie for <br />construction of a water-storage reservoir and a wastewater treatment plant. <br />A map is attached to this report showing the areas and acreages described above.
