(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: +U_7499-nne <br />INSPECTION DATE: ~-R-nd INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: JD- <br />O6SERVATIGi~iS <br />Completed and inspection of this operation as part of a Mined Land Reclamation Board directive to inspect <br />every mine in the state at least once every four years. The site was last inspected February 18, 1999. <br />This is a large 112 operation containing approximately 561 acres. Only 111 acres will be disturbed. The operator <br />is mining a quartzite layer from south to north along a mesa. Areas A, B, and C will be mined in sequence. Most <br />of the acreage is public land that is managed by the BLM. Part of the permit area is state school land. Mining is <br />limited to the footprint of the quartzite outcrop, with a minimum setback of SO feet and a maximum setback of <br />100 feet from the outside edge of the deposit. The operator is in compliance with this restriction. <br />The quartzite is blasted and sorted. Because the material is so dense and hard the large blocks (4 feet plus) are <br />most desirable. They are usually used for rip-rap. The smaller material is generally used for landscaping. <br />A mine ID sign has been posted at the entrance of the mine site. The affected land area is delineated by the <br />edge of fhe quartzite layer. <br />Did not observe any problems. <br />The financial warranty was just recently Increased (May, 2003) and is adequate to fund final reclamation. <br />Dan Grenard <br />BLM <br />3170 E.
