Permit No. M-77-526 Our files indicate that the anniversary date for this permit is March 28, 2011. The effective date of all information in this report is March 10, 2011. Please refer to the attached ANNUALREPORT MAP for the location of areas discussed in this report. This pit HAS NOT been granted a Temporary Cessation and it HAS operated more than 180 days this year. This permit was amended in 2006 to add construction of a slurry wall to the permit and the current bond is $230,300.00. We will deal specifically with each of the Annual Report requirements as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations. (1) We continued to mine material from 9.37 ac. on the southern end of the property this year (orange). A 11.72 acre area within the slurry wall area on the south side of the mine was stripped and partially mined as well (orange). (2) Backfilling has continued in the tailings area (tan). The 3 to 1 slopes into the lined depression were completed this year and we are in the process of obtaining the necessary state and County permits to fill this area with inert fill. We completed above water bank sloping on 3,061 linear feet around the northwest lake. We seeded 4.77 acres on the north end of the property this year (lite green). The topsoil pile located on the north end of the NW lake was used on the above water slopes. This area was graded and shaped so it is ready for seeding this spring.
