(Page ?) MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-99-0 LB INSPECTION DATE 06/08/99 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS CLK OBSERVAT CONS The following observations were made during an inspection of the site 1) Signs and boundary markers are in place as re~;uired by the rules. However, the boundaries need to be better defined by more markers or berms, so that storage of topsoil and materials stockpiles does not occur outside .he designated permit area. (PB3) 2) Excavation at the site has disturbed approxim,~t ely four acres of the permit area, leaving five to six acres undisturbed at this time. The excavations so far consist of two long trenches, approximately 10' deep, running ea:;t and west along the north boundary of the site. 3) Topsoil has been stored north of the trenches along the edge of boundary, and in one large pile on the southern boundary. Overburden has been stored close to the topsoil, and an effort should be made to separate the two stockpiles. Materials stockpiles and a crusher are being stored in the center of the site. 4) A small 18" drainage runs along the southern and western boundary of the site, directing storm water to the south boundary. Silt fences have been installed at the southeast and southwest corners of the site, to prevent dirt from being washed off the permit area. 5) Investigation of the nearby spring northwest c~nd some distance lower than the permit area revealed that it appears to be situated diz~ectly west of the drainage that is a few hundred feet west of the site. A 17" square is open on the top of the sump, and the concrete block appears to be approximately :4" square by 24" deep. The concrete basin encloses a sump, which is fed from the spring in the hillside. The sump drains into three 2" water lines for the Kings, Biskups, and Hz~lls. The concrete basin appears to be made of 6" thick concrete, with a 3" concrete top. The pipes open approximately 6" below the top of the sump. A stream leaks out of the bottom of the basin, and is used as irrigation water by Mrs. Hall. According to both Dale Bi skup and Mrs. King, it is believed that the concrete basin was built sometime in the 1990's. Both Mrs. Hall and Mrs. King state that the spring runs clear most of the year, and he.s possibly been cloudy twice in five years, when sudden snowmelts flooded the area. 6) A meeting was held at 5:30pm with Mrs. King and Mrs. Ashbaugh-Hall, who live near the site, so that we could discuss their concern= regarding the pit's permit and to explain the State process regarding appeals of permit approvals. The basics of blasting requirements and the technical revisions which may be required before Mr. Wagner is allowed to blast at the site were discussed, es well as the currently scheduled dates for the hearing (July 27-28, 1999). Copies of a1L documents concerning this permit will be forwarded to the appellants when received by the Division. No other problems were noted at this time.
