2011 Annual Report <br />Grisenti Farms Pit <br />M-2001-005 <br />Continental Materials (Castle Concrete Company) <br />Anniversary Date: May 27 <br />Overview of Permit Year. During the 2010/2011 operating year there was very little activity at the pit and <br />mining did take place however it was at a reduced volume base on economic conditions. During the period <br />encompassing the last six months of the 2010 year, no production took place. The west side mining was <br />completed and the pit has been back-sloped and seeded on 100% of the area. Sales of material have been almost <br />entirely out of existing stockpiles. <br />Annual Report Map: Affected land is illustrated on the attached map and a total of 57.5 acres had been <br />affected. <br />Reclamation: Reclamation work progressed at the west pit with back-sloping and seeding taking place on <br />approximately 100% of the pit and was completed in 2010. <br />Work Anticipated in 2010/2011 It is anticipated that this pit will see very limited production in the coming <br />year based on current economic conditions. The anticipated production period looks like three to four months <br />at best and this should take place in the second and third quarters of the year. Only screening of cobble <br />material is likely to take place early in the production cycle with the crusher and wash plant operating after the <br />pit has been dewatered. The original 8.2 acres in Phase 2 will be completed in 2011 and a new area adjoing the <br />existing 8.2 acres will be mined in 2011 and early 2012. This area is 4.8 acres. Weed control will continue <br />within the permit area. <br />Bonding.
