The mountain allocation applied for is situated in the middle of the Ellamaa deposit (registry card No 202). The name of the mountain allocation applied for is the peat production area of Riisipere III. The mountain allocation is 63.31 ha and its catchment area is 75.85 ha.

Mineral extraction is subject to a maximum annual mining rate of 13 ash/t.

The mountain boundary of the requested Risipere III peat production area is determined in accordance with the limits of blocks 17 and 18 of the active consumption stock.
