We continued to mine in areas disturbed in past years. This pit HAS NOT been granted a Temporary Cessation and it HAS operated more than 180 days this year. The Financial Warranty for this operation is $79,800, the permitted area is 170.70 ac. ± and the pit is divided into 5 Reclamation Phases. As required in Rule 3.1.12 a sign has been installed at the entrance to the pit and the boundary has been outlined to delineate the affected lands. A check for $550.00 to cover the Annual Fee was mailed under separate cover. Please refer to the 1996-97 Annual Report Map, for locations of the areas discussed in this text (attached). We will deal specifi- cally with the Annual Report requirements outlined in Rule 1.15 and the annual report form. (1) Mining continued in the Stage 1 on area disturbed in previous years. Mining to total depth was completed on a 1.20 acres ± parcel on the east part of the stage (///). A additional 9.96 acres parcel was partially mined on the south side of the lake (\1\). We have 18.05 acres ± of lake area (blue), and 21.18 acres ± stripped, ready for mining (yellow). The topsoil stockpile (pink) contains approximately 43,030 YD' and covers 1.06 acres ±. The pit is dewatered at this time, so the floor of the lake area can be mined. We have reduced existing slopes so they are currently being mined at a rate of 3 h to lv (pur- ple). Stage 5 is still used as processing plant site and contains gravel stockpiles, concrete casting beds, an asphalt plant and the office facilities. We are planning to move the location of the concrete plant and asphalt plants this year to an area closer to the county road. A Technical Revision will be submitted to address this change before it is done.
