4.0 SUMMARY <br />Elam is confident that its mining operation at the Vagneur Gravel Pit poses a minimal threat <br />to water resources in the Woody Creek area. The procedures and controls implemented at <br />the Pit to avoid and prevent accidental releases of POL and other potential environmental <br />contaminants are proven to be effective and meet (or exceed) all current regulatory <br />requirements. Additionally, Elam has adopted protocols for accepting and evaluating soils <br />that are brought to the Pit for future reuse in reclamation activities. As a further, voluntary <br />method of demonstrating environmental compliance, Elam will continue to routinely monitor <br />the seasonal surface water quality in the Phase 1 Pit along with the on-site stockpiled soils. <br />By operating the Pit in accordance with all current environmental permits & regulations and <br />by implementing the soil importation procedures explained in Section 2.4 of this WRPP, <br />Elam is confident that the local surface and groundwater resources will be sufficiently <br />protected. Elam will present a summary of its findings from the on-going monitoring activities <br />directly to Pitkin County in the required Annual Operations Report. <br />Vagneur Pit - WRPP 15 September 1, 2006
