( "Valco ") to the City <br />of Lamar ( "Lamar"). The required $257 fee has been paid (receipt no. 3659664). This approval will only <br />cover the remainder of the previously approved SWSP period (which was June 1, 2011 through May 31, <br />2013) i.e., April 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013. <br />Valco and Lamar entered into an agreement on May 24, 2011, for the transfer of the Lamar East <br />Gravel Pit property to Lamar. A condition of the agreements is that a joint supply plan be submitted by <br />Valco and Lamar. The property transfer is scheduled for April 30, 2013. <br />Plan of Operation <br />Valco has stopped gravel mining operations at the Lamar East Pit, and the property is in the <br />reclamation process. The maximum expected ground water surface area that will be exposed during the <br />term of the SWSP is summarized below. <br />Pre -1981 Post -1981 <br />Pit Well Permit No. Well ID Total Exposure Exposure Exposure <br />(acres) (acres) <br />Lamar East 52184 -F 6706363 35.4 13.2 22.2 <br />Depletions <br />The maximum annual consumption that will occur during this plan at the Lamar East Pit is given <br />below. The Lamar East Pit is within 100 feet of the Arkansas River.
