DISTURBANCE (NEEDING RECLAMA- <br />TioN) <br />! <br />STAGE 1 <br />ac. ± <br />ALLOWED BY <br />BOND ac. ± <br />Slab stone mining (orange) <br />11.11 <br />25.00 <br />Reclaimed, seeded (green) <br />4.33 <br />NA <br />Topsoil stockpiles (tan) <br />2.54 <br />NA <br />Temporary Stone Storage Area ( / //) <br />26.70 <br />35.00 <br />Stone Yard <br />13.55* <br />13.55* <br />J Total disturbance <br />I <br />44.68 I <br />60.00 <br />Permittee Name: Siloam Stone, Inc. <br />Permit No: M- 1987 -086 <br />Operation Name: Bedrock Mine <br />Anniversary Date: 03/16/2012 <br />Additional information (as of 3/12/12) <br />7. No new area was disturbed this year As we continued to mine in <br />previously disturbed areas. The stone yard and topsoil piles remain <br />unchanged from last year. We continue to use the grizzlies setup <br />in 2002 for processing stone in the Stone Yard. The following table <br />shows the status of the mine area, in acres, disturbed at the mine: <br />- historic Industrial use area - no reclamation required <br />9. No reclamation was required but as in the past we continue to <br />cleanup the pre -law disturbed area by filling, graded, and shaped <br />the areas around the perimeter of the area. The size of the <br />Temporary Stone Storage (TSS) changes during the year and the grass <br />on those areas previously disturbed are recovering. This is an <br />example of the ever changing size of the TSS area accounted for in <br />the bond calculation. <br />10. We will continue to remove stone from the slab stone mining area and <br />stockpiled stone in the stone yard. If needed, we expect to expand <br />the slab stone mining in to areas adjacent to where we mined this <br />year. The stone yard area is industrial area and would need no <br />reclamation if mining ended prematurely. We continue to add and <br />remove stone from the TSSA's as market demands dictate. <br />11. Reclamation is being completed as required in the permit, we are <br />within the bonded limits set in 2009. We will reclaim any areas <br />that are in their final configuration as mining progresses this <br />year. Seeding will be completed as new areas are resoiled. <br />12. At this time there are 4.33 acres ± (green) that have been shaped, <br />graded, resoiled and seeded. The 4th growing season starts this <br />year and the grasses are growing as expected. <br />13. Nothing has changed from the 2011 Annual Report Map that is an <br />excerpt from the application map showing the southeast portion of <br />the mine where mining activities are taking place at this time. As <br />a reminder within the permit area for this mine are 2 other mines, <br />The Pinon Mine, M- 1997 -094 (6.26 ac ±) and the Siloam Pit, M -1977- <br />326 (9.99 ac ±) with separate bonds. <br />16. We have approximately 48,400 cy of topsoil saved for reclamation, <br />located in around the mined area (brown). <br />19. The current bond is $88,170.00. It was reviewed and recalculated <br />in June 2009. <br />
