Each is mined by a different operator under this single permit. This pit HAS NOT been granted a Temporary Cessation and it HAS operated more than 180 days this year. The approved bond amount is $84,200 covering 75.74 acres t, and the facility has seven mining and reclamation phases. Please refer to the attached 2009-2010 Annual Report Map for the areas discussed in this text. Bestway Concrete is the gravel miner at this mine having taken over for Hall-Irwin in January 2009 We will deal specifically with the Annual Report requirements as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations and those noted in the annual letter. (1) Clay - We continued to mine deeper on the land previously disturbed north of the ditches in Stage H (blue). Approximately 35.43 acres is disturbed by the clay operation in Stages O, I and H. This included the old clay mined area south of the ditches shown as the Clay Plant Site area (purple). Gravel - A total of 12.75 acres is being used as plant site area in Stage A (orange). Approximately 1.00 acres of Pre-Law Overburden areas were processed this year. These areas have been graded and are used for storing processed materials. The gravel operation has disturbed 28.42 acres f in the mine (\\\). Gravel was stripped from approximately 1.87 acres on the east side of the active clay mining area Stages I & U. Most of the material processed at the plant site came from gravel mined this year on the Rocky Flats Pit. Some waste rock was removed for use by the mineral owners from the pre-law stockpile areas. (2) No reclamation was required this year. The Pre-law stockpile areas that were disturbed have been graded so only resoiling and seeding will be needed when it is time for those areas to be seeded. Stockpiles of growth medium are located along the west and south sides of the permit area. (3) Clay - Mining will continue in Stage I or Stage U. No new area will be disturbed this year as we continue to mine the area stripped in previous years. We will continue to mine deeper into the clay veins exposed in the past and advance the face to the north as. Processing will
