(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ~-iy77-S~~ <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5.79-n3_ INSPECTORS INITIALS: -fly <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a monitoring Inspection of the site, with the Division's weed expert, Mr. Tony Waldron, to <br />determine what the additional work the operator had to do on site, before requesting a release. When the site <br />was last inspected on 4-30-03, at the request of the operator, because of the difficulty they have controlling the <br />weed infestation due to adjacent areas, which appeared to be always Infested with weeds. At the time, the <br />Division informed them that the site will be re-inspected with the weed expert and he might have some solution <br />to the problem. <br />With Mark klune of TRANSIT MIX AGGREGATES present, the portion of the area that the operator would like to <br />have released from the permit area was inspected. As reported fn the last inspection, the site has been fn <br />reclamation since 1997. When the lake and embankment areas were released in 1999, the Division denied the <br />release of the areas in question due to lack of vegetation and weed infestation. At that time, the operator had <br />stated that even with their weed control plan in place, due to non- weed control in adjacent areas, it had been <br />difficult to properly control the weeds. Recent chemical application to control the weed was observed through <br />out the area. Tony agreed that the fact that the adjacent areas having weed infestation could hinder their area <br />but he stated that as long as a weed control plan is submitted to the Division and is in place, the Division would <br />not deny the release request even if some weed in the area is present. He informed the operator that the <br />Tamarisk, noted along the banks of the river, with in the permit area, could be leff as is, because removing it <br />could case more damage than is worth. He also suggested the operator to change the seed mix to more saline <br />adoptable mix. The operator stated that consultant Mr Mark HEFNER HAD TRIED DIFFERENT SEED MIXES IN TEST <br />PLOTS AND THE RESULTS WERE NOT THAi MUCH BETTER. However, offer receiving the inspection report he will ask <br />Mark to come up with a new seed mix that can tolerate the salt nature of the soil. PERMIT SIGN AND BOUNDARY <br />MARKERS WERE PROPERLY POSTED. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: MR JERRY HERMANS <br />OPERATOR: TRANSIT MIX AGGREGATES <br />STREET: P nBOX 9379 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: c~i ~Ran~ sPRw~s, cn Rn9m <br />Harry Posey (e-mail) <br />cc: ^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />
