0 <br />ANNUAL REPORT <br />PERMITEE NAME: The Regents of the University of Colorado <br />PERMIT NO: M -1981 -302 <br />OPERATION NAME: Deepe Farm Pit <br />ANNIVERSARY DATE: April 8, 2012 <br />ANNUAL FEE DUE: $791.00 <br />COUNTY: Boulder <br />From April, 2011 thru March, 2012 no mining or reclamation activities have occurred on the <br />Deepe Farm Pit mining area with the exception of on -going weed management, as needed. <br />Additionally, cattle grazing activities have occurred on a portion of the pit site which has assisted <br />in keeping the weeds under control. The University has also contracted for the services of a goat <br />herder to herd several tens of goats on portions of the property to assist in weed management. <br />These animal activities have proven to be very successful in the management of weeds on the <br />property. The grasses on the property are thriving and weeds continue to be a non -issue on this <br />Deepe Farm Pit site. Additionally, this spring, the willow growth that had been occurring at the <br />edges of the levee embankment were eliminated. <br />In 2012 -13, there are no plans to disturb any of those areas remaining within this permit. <br />However, if during our regular inspections we note areas where vegetative cover is sparse, re- <br />seeding will occur as needed. On -going weed management will also be undertaken, as <br />appropriate. The University may continue grazing the site during the next year. No other <br />activities are anticipated. <br />We have enclosed some photographs of the site in its current condition. <br />The University of Colorado will mail a check in the amount of $791.00 to cover the cost of the <br />annual fee. <br />The April semi - annual levee inspection report will be submitted to your office under separate <br />cover. <br />Following are representative photographs of the site as of 9 -23 -2011 and on 3 -29 -2012. <br />
