Mining expanded <br />only about 1.25 acres. It is not expected, but possible, that a little more land will be stripped during the next <br />year. It all depends on the state of the economy. This low activity was due to the poor economy and low <br />demand for aggregate. <br />Annual Report Maps: The annual report map is almost identical to the 2009 map; a couple of boundaries <br />were expanded slightly. <br />Affected Lands: The amount of affected land is slightly more than last year. The main cause of this minor <br />change is due to the low demand for product. This is mainly due to the severe downturn in the economy. <br />Revegetation: The site is stable and is not subject to erosion. No additional revegetation was done in the last <br />year. A slight amount of additional backfilling occurred in mined out areas. As practically no new land was <br />opened there was very little overburden available to do more backfilling. <br />Expected Activity (2010): Mining activity in 2011 is essentially unpredictable at this point. If the economy <br />improves and demand for product increases then some new land may be stripped and prepared for mining. This <br />is only a possibility and not an expectation. The 7.2 acres shown on the map may be optimistic. <br />Schmidt Construction Company 2010 Annual Report M-1982-155 Fountain Pit Page 1 of 1
