We respectfully request the following technical revision to reflect current operating conditions. Since our permit approval in 1998, we have added several pieces of equipment (including an asphalt and concrete batch plant) which requires additional area for staging and stockpiling. We currently allocate 4.9 acres to staging outside of the gravel pit extraction area; however we require additional staging area within the gravel extraction area of 20 acres to house the additional equipment. This need has diminished our ability to excavate material within the allowed 50 acre disturbance area. Therefore, we are requesting that our maximum disturbed acreage be increased to the entire gravel extraction area of 88.8 acres. It should be noted that the equipment staging within the gravel extraction area will move around the pit floor as mining progresses and we will maintain the no disturbance area of 29.6 acres. The DRMS currently holds a financial warranty for the entire permitted area (123 acres) so this request should not.impact our existing bond. We will continue to properly water the haul roads and mining area to mitigate for dust. I would like this letter to serve as a technical revision request to add the above listed amendment to our existing 112 permit. I have attached a revised table reflecting the changes to the Land Use Area Summary. Please advise if you have any further questions or require additional information. inc ely, Steve Morrow Morrow & Sons, Inc. Attachment Mining Plan Land Use Area Summary
