Each is mined by a different operator under <br />this single permit. This pit HAS NOT been granted a Temporary Cessa- <br />tion and it HAS operated more than 180 days this year. The approved <br />bond amount is $84,200 covering 75.74 acres ±, and the facility has <br />seven mining and reclamation phases. Bond revaluation was completed <br />in January 2011 and was raised to $319,000 due on 3/4/2011. The bond <br />will be submitted by that time. Please refer to the attached 2010- <br />2011 Annual Report Map for the areas discussed in this text. <br />We will deal specifically with the Annual Report requirements as <br />outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations and those noted in <br />the annual letter. <br />(1) Clay - We continued to mine deeper on the land previously dis- <br />turbed north of the ditches in Stage II (blue). Approximately <br />37.80 acres is disturbed by the clay operation in Stages O, I and <br />II. This included the old clay mined area south of the ditches <br />shown as the Clay Plant Site area (dark blue) and the Clay Pro- <br />cessing Plant area (purple). <br />Gravel - A total of 12.75 acres is being used as plant site area <br />in Stage A (orange). The gravel operation has disturbed 22.20 <br />acres ± in the mine (\\\). Most of the material processed at the <br />plant site came from gravel mined this year on the Rocky Flats <br />Pit. Some waste rock was removed for use by the mineral owners <br />from the pre-law stockpile areas. <br />(2) No reclamation was required this year. The Pre-law stockpile <br />areas that were disturbed have been graded so only resoiling and <br />seeding will be needed when it is time for those areas to be <br />seeded. Stockpiles of growth medium are located along the west <br />and south sides of the permit area (pink). <br />A I?- <br />(3) Clay - Mining will continue in stage I or Stage II. No new area <br />will be disturbed this year as we continue to mine the area <br />stripped in previous years. We will continue to mine deeper into <br />the clay veins exposed in the past and advance the face to the
