PERMIT #: M -1980 -205 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: PSH <br />INSPECTION DATE: September 13, 2013 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Select Materials site was inspected by Peter Hays with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />(Division) as part of the Division's monitoring inspection program. The site was previously inspected by the <br />Division on November 13, 2008. Mr. Robert Oman with Select Materials, LLC was present during the <br />inspection. <br />The Division holds a financial warranty in the amount of $7,500.00, which appeared sufficient to complete <br />reclamation of the current disturbance. <br />The site is permitted for 38.4 acres. The mine sign and boundary markers were observed as required by Rule <br />3.1.12. The site was not actively mining during the inspection due to the recent flooding in the area. The pit <br />floor was flooded and the Operator was working on controlling the stormwater at the site. Excavation of the <br />hillside is proceeding to the east. Product stockpiles were observed in the southern portion of the site. <br />A wood products plant has been constructed in the northwest corner of the property and north of the <br />maintenance shop. The plant is not associated with the mining permit. The topsoil and overburden were <br />stripped before the plant was constructed and stockpiled along the eastern boundary of the plant area. The <br />stockpiled material will be used for reclamation. <br />The approved post- mining land use for the site is general agriculture. No reclamation activities were observed <br />during the inspection. The undisturbed land to the east and north of the pit is planted with perennial rye. The <br />Operator stated Russian thistle was mowed as part of the weed control program for the site. No noxious <br />weeds were observed during the inspection. <br />No problems were noted during the inspection. Photographs taken during the inspection are attached. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Mr. Robert Oman <br />Select Materials, LLC <br />P.O.
