June 30, 2011 <br />Annual Report <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Re: Permit No. M-1977-459 <br />Lake County Gravel Pit <br />Anniversary Date: July 8, 2011 <br />Gentlemen; <br />Brad Palmer, Director <br />Lake County Public Works <br />LAKE COUNTY <br />Public Works <br />1200 Hazel Street <br />Leadville, CO 80461 <br />Phone: 719- 486 -0259 <br />Fax: 719 -486 -8479 <br />Enclosed, please find the payment of $791.00 for the annual fee for the above referenced <br />permit. <br />The activity in the calendar year 2011 consisted of mining and crushing approximately 22,500 <br />tons of road base material during the time period January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009. The <br />material mined consisted of taking down material on existing disturbed areas as shown on <br />enclosed map and cutting down the slope on the south east side of the pit. No new areas of <br />disturbance occurred during this time period. <br />Reclamation for the year 2010 consisted of stockpiling existing top soil from the pit area to the <br />east side of the pit. Also in 2010, we have continued our program of stockpiling top soil from <br />outside sources, such as new road construction around the County in anticipation of future <br />reclamation work. <br />During the year 2010, since there were not any new areas of disturbance Lake County <br />continued to accumulate top soil from outside sources. It is expected that there will not be any <br />new disturbances. All mining activities will be within previously disturbed areas of the existing <br />pit. Production for the calendar year January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 will be <br />between 20,000 and 25,000 tons of road base material. _ <br />As in the past, Lake County also uses this mine site and crushing equipment to recycle asphalt <br />the has been removed from County and City roads this practice while not a mining activity has <br />been in effect for 10 plus years. The crushed asphalt is then re- incorporated into new <br />construction projects as well as on existing roadways throughout the County. <br />Please contact Brad Palmer, Public Works Director at 719 - 486 -0259 should you have any <br />questions. <br />
