<br /> Magpie Diversion. <br />OTHER (SPECIFY): <br />The gated entrance to the Southfield Mine site was locked as usual. After numerous attempts, the Division was <br />unable to unlock the lock after using the known code. It appears that the code to the lock has been changed or no <br />longer functions. The Division decided to walk to the Magpie Diversion from the county road and then by the <br />GEC access road. Two hunters were observed along the ridge line of the North Area of the GEC Mine. Once at the <br />Magpie Diversion, the Division observed a white pickup truck along the GEC access road near the diversion <br />intersection. After inspecting the Magpie Diversion, the returned along the GEC access road when the white <br />pickup truck pulled behind and alongside the Division inspector. The individual in the truck was Mr. Daryl <br />Mergen. Mr. Daryl Mergen was visibly angry and irritated. Mr. Mergen asked who and why the inspector was <br />doing on site. The Division inspector informed Mr. Mergen who he was, who he was with and why he was there. <br />At that point, the inspector tried to ask Mr. Mergen on the status of the lock at the gated entrance but before the <br />question could be finished, Mr. Mergen informed the inspector that he couldn’t speak with the Division and pulled <br />away. After driving approximately 15 to 20 feet, Mr. Mergen stopped and exited the vehicle and approached the <br />inspector. He then pointed his finger at the inspector and stated that it was within the inspector’s best interest to <br />not being on the property during hunting season before reentering the vehicle. After driving to the gated entrance <br />to the GEC access road and turning around, Mr. Mergen then pulled along the inspector again and informed him <br />on the reasons he was angry with the Division and acting in the manner in which he was presenting. At that point, <br />Mr. Mergen then continued back up the GEC access road and the Division inspector continued with his inspection. <br /> <br />REVEGETATION – Rule 4.15 <br />Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />Vegetation continues to establish itself along the unclaimed portion of two track that access the NW-MW well pad <br />as well as road spur.
