2010 Annual Report <br />Pikeview Quarry <br />M-1977-211 <br />Continental Materials <br />Anniversary Date: May 27 <br />Overview of Permit Year: During the 2009/2010 operating year there was no mining activity at Pikeview <br />Quarry due to the December '08 landslide. A monitoring system has been installed to observe any movement <br />within the quarry. There have been 35 prisms installed to facilitate this monitoring and the results are sent to <br />DRMS and CGS on a monthly basis. While the north end of the quarry appears to be very stable, there is still a <br />great deal of movement in the middle and southern portions of the mine. Weed control continued on the site <br />outside of the slide area. <br />A request to modify the board ordered cease and desist to allow investigative blasting and processing of the <br />material removed under the investigative process has been sent to the DRMS and a technical revision oudineing <br />the investigative process has also been submitted to DRMS for consideration. A one year extension of the <br />order to submit a new amended mining and reclamation plan was granted by the MLRB. <br />Annual Report Map: Affected land is illustrated on the attached map along with the designated areas that <br />must be included in the investigative process. <br />Reclamation: The only reclamation process was that of continued weed control onsite. <br />Work Anticipated in 2010/2011: Monitoring of the landslide area will continue throughout the year. <br />Investigative work noted on the enclosed map will take place as the slide area becomes more stable. Blasting <br />and processing of material during the investigative process will be the only work outside of the purely <br />investigative work that will take place. Although a one year extension was granted by the MLRB it is Castle's <br />intent to submit a new mining and reclamation plan as soon as possible. Weed control will continue in the <br />unaffected areas of the quarry <br />Bonding: This operation is covered under a financial warranty corporate surety arrangement provided by <br />Westchester Fire Insurance Company.. <br />Continental Materials 2009-2010 Annual Report M-1977-211 Pikeview Quarry Page 1 of 1
