A site inspection was made of the Mitchell Pit No. 2. Rick Mitchell was present during <br />the inspection. <br />2. The Mitchell Pit No. 2 is permitted for 6.8 acres of disturbance. The operator has posted <br />a financial warranty of $5,000 in the form of a letter of credit. The post-mining land use <br />is pastureland. <br />3. The Mitchell Pit No. 2 has been partially mined and reclaimed. The operator has <br />adequately graded the pit to reclamation contours, reapplied topsoil, and seeded with the <br />approved pastureland seed mix. The operator has also allowed cattle to graze on the <br />reclaimed area. All components of the reclamation plan have been adequately completed with <br />the exception of revegetation. The vegetative cover pres eht is not yet adequate for <br />financial warranty release. The Division recommends that livestock be excluded from grazing <br />in the reclaimed area for several or more growing seasons prior to request for complete <br />financial warranty release. <br />4.
