Varna Companies, Inc. <br />Office of Special Projects <br />1431 East 16`h Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Telephone (970) 353-8310 Fax(970)353-4047 <br />JUNE 2011 ANNUAL REPORT - M1978-056 - DURHAM - PIT 117 <br />Extraction continues in Area A within and along the basin bottom. Area C is <br />predominantly stockpiles. In 2007, wet plant operations were moved to the North end of <br />Area B to facilitate continued extraction activities, as indicated in the 2007 Annual <br />Report. Extraction is anticipated to remain predominantly within Area B, and within the <br />south end through the middle segment for 2011-12. <br />Grading has been concurrent with extraction, and the majority of Area A perimeter banks <br />have been soiled and seeded in the winter and spring of 2010. Vegetation is presently <br />emerging along the seeded areas. Until Extraction progresses further within Area B, no <br />significant grading, resoiling or revegetation efforts are anticipated for 2011-12. <br />Filling of Area D is continuing along the Southern boundary of Area D, while approved <br />flood abatement activities have been completed along the berm separating Area D along <br />the Southern boundary of the Cache La Poudre River. This location was previously <br />seeded and vegetation has emerged and survived into the present year. <br />1
