(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: Iv1_19R~118d <br />INSPECTION DATE: ~n-~'~-(13 INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: -.liL <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />Completed an Inspection of this operation as part of the normal inspection program. <br />This is a 260 acre 112 Regular permit located about 2 miles north of falrplay, east of Highway 9. The affected <br />land area is limited to 79.5 acres and is adequately delineated. An adequate mine ID sign has been placed at <br />the entrance of the permit boundary. <br />Sand & gravel is the primary commodity for this operation. Gold is a secondary commodity. The operator <br />excavates a large pit (8 acres maximum) down to bedrock then washes the material through a sluice system. <br />The washed material is returned to the pit so the operation is constantly being reclaimed (backfilling the pit is <br />part of the reclamation plan). The operator is allowed to constantly move the pit as long as it does not exceed 8 <br />acres. <br />The operator crushes and screens sand and gravel material in the north part of the permit ores. Large material <br />(boulder size) is segregated, stockpiled and sold. <br />Topsoil (what little there ls) is stockpiled in the western part of the permit area. <br />Except for backfilling the recently created pit, not much reclamation has occurred at this site. However, the <br />existing $259,844.00 is sufficient to complete reclamation. The main components of the reclamatlon plan are dirt <br />work (dozing and grading), topsoil replacement, reseeding (includes planting tree seedlings) and removal of all <br />the used equipment, trash and refuse. <br />Did not observe any problems at this site. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: <br />OPERATOR: Snowstorm Sand 8 Gravel LLC <br />STREET: P_n_ Rnx 3RR <br />CITYjSTATEjZIP: Fairnlav Cn Rldd0 <br />Harry Posey (e-mail) <br />cc: r CE <br />t BL <br />I' FS <br />I' H W <br />I' HMWMD (CH) <br />I' SE <br />I' WQCD (CH) <br />I' OTHER <br />
