A pre-operation inspection was made of the Camilletti Pit (approximately 2 miles east of <br />Hayden) as the operator has recently submitted an application for a 112 conversion. The <br />operator has proposed a conversion from a 9.9 acre Limited Impact Permit to a 21 acre Regular <br />112 Permit. Present during the inspection were Tony Connell and Art Morrissey of Connell <br />Resources. Inc. <br />2. Signs and markers were posted in conformance with Rule 3.1.12. <br />3. The proposed amendment area was inspected. The operator has propsed an expansion of 11.1 <br />acres to the south of the existing pit. The mining and reclamation plan for the amendment <br />area will be very similar to the existing plans. Mining will be occur with dry mining <br />methods into a hillside. Mining will progress to the south. There are no water resources <br />or permanent, man-made structures of concern. The only possible concern noted with expansion <br />is the limited occurance of toadflax. This inspector recommended that a weed control plan <br />be developed for this noxious weed. <br />4. There is approximately 6-8 inches of topsoil available for reclamation. The operator has <br />done an impressive job of contemporaneous reclamation in the existing 9.9 acre permit area. <br />Where possible, slopes have been backfilled and graded to 3:1 H:V or less, and topsoiled. <br />Overburden at the site averages 8 feet in depth and is used in backfilling and grading to <br />achieve the desired reclamation contours. Mr. Connell explained that the Camilletti Pit is <br />being excavated in 2 acre increments. The Camilletti Pit is a very "clean" and well managed <br />operation. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />~ CE <br />NAME Tonv Connell ~ BL <br />OPERATOR Connell Resources, Inc. ~ FS <br />STREET P.O.
