OBSERVATIONS
The MMM Partnership Gravel Pit was inspected by Peter Hays with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and
Safety (Division /DRMS) as part of the Division's monitoring inspection program and in conjunction with the
Kokes Gravel Pit inspection which is located adjacent to the site. Mr. Mark Kokes and Mr. Kent Kokes were
present during the inspection. The site was previously inspected by the Division on April 29, 2010.
The site is permitted for 9.99 acres of total disturbance. The Division denied a full financial and performance
warranty release request (SL -01) on May 12, 2012 due to the lack of well - established vegetation. The site was
completely regraded, seeded and mulched in 2009 according to the previous inspection report. The site has
been re- opened by the Operator since the release request denial. The site was inactive during the inspection.
Two excavation areas were observed in the southeastern section of the pit. The area contained six (6) feet
