On May 31, 2001, a 93 CFR 3809 field compliance inspection was conducted on the above mentioned mining plan of operations (see attached report). As in previous reports, the inspection found various unused and unnecessary equipment being stored on public land. Given the present condition of said equipment, it is quite apparent that they have not been used in the operation on your project for many, many years. At 93 CFR Sec. 3609.924(2) under the existing regulations, implemented January 20, 2001, it states that: If the period of non-operation is likely to cause unnecessary or undue degradation, then BLM will require you to take all necessary actions to assure that unnecessary or undue degradation does not occur, including requiring you, after an extended period of non-operation for other than seasonal operations, to remove all structures, equipment, and other facilities and reclaim the project area. Under the previous 93 CFR 3809 regulations at 38u9-7, it states chat: All operators shall maintain the site, structures, and other facilities of the operations in a safe and clean condition during any non-operating periods. All operators may be required, after an extended period of non-operation for other than seasonal operations, to remove all structures, equipment, and other facilities and reclaim the site of operations, unless he/she receives permission, in writing, form the authorized officer to do otherwise. Because you are not using this equipment in question, you are hereby required to comply with the 93 CFR 3809 regulations and remove this unused, unnecessary equipment. Specifically the dismantled track-hoe, the small bulldozer, the road scraper, the dump truck, the camp trailer, the elevated and non-elevated storage containers and structures, and all miscellaneous materials, refuse, and debris. However, you are instructed not to disturb the historic wooden placer processing facility.
