Each is mined by a <br />different operator under this single permit. This pit HAS NOT been granted a Temporary Cessation and it <br />HAS operated more than 180 days this year. The approved bond amount is $84,200 covering 75.74 acres t, <br />and the facility has seven mining and reclamation phases. Please refer to the attached 2008-2009 Annual <br />Report Map for the areas discussed in this text. Bestway Concrete is not the gravel miner at this mine having <br />taken over for Hall-Irwin in January 2009 <br />We will deal specifically with the Annual Report requirements as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules <br />and Regulations and those noted in the annual letter. <br />(1) Clay - We continued to mine deeper on the land previously disturbed north of the ditches in Stage Il <br />(blue). Approximately 25.21 acres is disturbed by the clay operation in Stages O, I and II. This <br />included the old clay mined area south of the ditches shown as the Clay Plant Site area (purple). <br />Gravel - A total of 12.75 acres is being used as plant site area in Stage A (orange). Approximately <br />3.46 acres of Pre-Law Overburden areas was processed this year. These areas were graded and are <br />used for storing processed materials. The gravel operation has disturbed 28.42 acres f in the mine <br />(\\\). Most of the material processed at the plant site came from gravel mined this year on the Rocky <br />Flats Pit. Some waste rock was removed for use by the mineral owners from the pre-law stockpile <br />areas, <br />(2) No reclamation was required this year. Filling continued on the old clay mining area in the green areas <br />shown in Stage O. No additional reclamation is required until mining for both materials is completed <br />in any given stage. The Pre-law stockpile areas that were disturbed have been graded so only <br />recoiling and seeding will be needed when it is time for those activities. Stockpiles of growth medium <br />are a located along the west and south sides of the permit area. <br />(3) Clay - Mining will continue in Stage I or Stage Il, no new area will be disturbed this year because we <br />are mining in the area stripped in previous years. We will continue to deepen the bottom of the mine <br />into the clay veins exposed in the past and advance the face to the north as approved. Processing will <br />continue in the Clay Plant Site Area in Stage 0 (purple). We will continue to removed overburden on
