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: April 9, 2009 <br />ANNUAL FEE DUE: $791.00 <br />COUNTY: Boulder <br />From April, 2008 thru March, 2009, no mining or reclamation activities <br />have occurred on the Deepe Farm Pit mining area with the exception of <br />on-going weed management, as needed. Additionally, cattle grazing <br />activities have occurred on a portion of the pit site which has assisted in <br />keeping the weeds under control. The University has also contracted for <br />the services of a goat herder to herd several tens of goats on portions of <br />the property to assist in weed management. These animal activities have <br />proven to be very successful in the management of weeds on the <br />property. <br />The grasses on the property are thriving and weeds continue to be a <br />manageable issue on this Deepe Farm Pit site. Additionally, this spring, <br />the willow growth that had been occurring at the edges of the levee <br />embankment was eliminated. <br />In 2009-10, there are no plans to disturb any of those areas remaining <br />within this permit. However, if during our regular inspections we not areas <br />where vegetative cover is sparse, re-seeding will occur as needed. On- <br />going weed management will also be undertaken, as appropriate. The <br />University may continue grazing the site during the next year subject to <br />receiving adequate moisture to ensure the proper growth of vegetation. <br />No other activities are anticipated. <br />We have enclosed some photographs of the site in its current condition. <br />The University of Colorado has attached a check in the amount of $791.00 <br />to cover the cost of the annual fee. <br />We have also attached a map delineating the current mining site area. <br />Following are representative photographs of this site as of 04-08-2009.
