The inspector noted cement trucks and <br />other equipment coming and going from the site. <br />Current excavation is primarily focused on the west side of the permit area. The inspector noted topsoil was pushed <br />back adequately to expose raw materials. Current topsoil stockpiles are adequately protected with grass cover. <br />Some areas near the east side are close to being finished and reclamation will be a focus of this azea soon. <br />The inspector noted some trash piles and old equipment.
