COMPLIANCE WITH ACREAGE LIMITATIONS: The inventory format used in the table
below is derived from the acreage accounting table included in the newly amended Reclamation
Permit. So long as the acreage value shown in Line 9 and 10 is a positive value the terms of the
acreage limitations in the lease are in compliance. If the value in Line 10 is negative then, at the
minimum, appropriate action must be taken to immediately change the status of suitable land so Line
10 is at least zero and preferably a positive number. At this time there are about 56 acres of available
disturbance that could be used if needed. With sand demand low and not predicted to change greatly
in the near future there is not much chance a great deal of that acreage will be used any time soon.
From the accounting it is apparent that the amount of Land Board affected land in the last year
declined by about 1.5 acres. Effectively, it remained the same as last year.
GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED: No unusual or unexpected geologic
conditions were encountered in the last year. The deposit remains quite variable in vertical section
with alluvial clay lenses in places. It appears the operation is occurring in an area where stream flow
was meandering with frequent changes - perhaps a braided stream pattern.
Status report for 2012
Note: Bond will be recalculated in July 2012 to reduce bond to about 150 acres total.
