This is not a phased operation but the area needing reclamation at any one time is limited to 50.00 acres t. Denver Water Board and South Adams County Water and Sanitation District are now the property owners for the area to be mined in this permit. They began con- struction of a slurry wall in December 2003 without obtaining the necessary permit revisions. This issue was resolved at the January 2004 Mined Land Reclamation Board hearing that resulted in Suburban Sand and Gravel Co., being fined for Denver Waters actions and ordered to correct the problem. The items described below are documentation of what happened and what our understanding of what actions Denver Water plan to do to correct of the disturbed areas where we had reclamation complete. The permitted area is 168.41 acres t, the pit HAS NOT been granted a Temporary Cessation and it HAS operated more than 180 days this year. A check for $688.00 is attached to cover the annual fee. Please refer to the map attached for the areas dis- cussed in this report. (1) This entire disturbed area has been stripped of topsoil and the topsoil was stockpiled around the site for use in reclama- tion. At the current time we have 126.32 acres ± disturbed in the pit. Of the total area disturbed at this time 2.69 acres t is plant site area (cross-hatched, ///); 106.43 acres ±, is lake area (blue), 1.14 acres is parking area; 4.43 acres is graded, shaped(+++++); 7.75 acres ± is partially sloped. Mining continued on areas previously disturbed around the lake and we began to mine on 2.36 acres on the east side of the mine (\\\) that will be below the normal lake surface. The land owners (Denver Water) constructed a slurry wall along the river and Brighton Road this year and disturbed area we previ- ously had ready for seeding. The purple area on the map shows the area disturbed that they will be reclaiming this spring approximately 21.52 ac. The approximate location of the slurry wall is shown on the map.
