Additional Page 2009 Annual Report Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry M-1989-065 Centennial Materials, Inc. Anniversary Date: April 26 Overview of Permit Year: During the 2008/2009 operating year there was no expansion of the quarry sites. Due to the depressed economy only moderate to very little activity occurred at the site. This was especially true from November to the current date. Annual Report Maps: Enclosed are three color maps showing the primary areas of disturbance and the type of disturbance occurring in each area. Map 1 shows the entire site and is primarily a guide map. Map 2 includes the Main Quarry portion and Map 3 shows the information for the Cut Stone Quarry area. For details of acreages please see the maps. These maps are essentially the same as they were last year due to the low amount of activity that occurred. Affected Lands: The amount of affected land in the operation is the same as last year Revegetation: Past revegetation efforts continued to showed good progress. One area that was seeded last year is showing typical first year growth. Expected Activity (2009/2010): It is not known how much activity will occur in the next year. The current state of the economy and demand for aggregate is very low. A lot of what will happen in the next year depends on how rapidly the economy recovers from the current slump. If the predictions of many economists hold true then there will probably not be a lot of change in the operation in the next year. But with stimulus and renewed construction, activity could increase later in 2009. At this point it is simply a matter of waiting to see what happens and responding accordingly - a painful process to be sure. Photos: No photos were taken this year. Bonding: This operation is covered by a self bond M-1989-065 Winkler Light Aggregate Quarry Schmidt Construction Company 2009 Annual Report Page 1 of 1
