INSPECTION REPORT
FILE N0. M-77-304
DATE: January 29,
- PAGE 2
1986
OBSERVATIONS OF IMPORTANCE:
1.) Inspectors met Mr. H. Wayne Sellers and Mr. Jerry Dougherty at the mine
site.
2.) The inspectors and Holly personnel reviewed the current mine status and
discussed various detail requirements of the pending amendment for the
Rex Quarry.
3.) The site is inactive, and has been for about 3 years.
4.) Virtually the entire permit area is disturbed and most of the permit
area has been at least partially worked since 1973 according to Holly
personnel.
5.) Some of the older areas exhibit some natural re vegetation.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.) The revised amendment should be submitted as soon as possible. We will
continue consideration to the March, 1986 Board meeting.
2.) The amendment should include improved maps (4 copies) which are of
sufficient scale and with sufficient relief detail to allow quick
location identification in the field. The maps will also show such
details as permit boundary and work areas and phases.
3.) Also, the materials will include your revised mining and reclamation
plans with some very general and approximate schedules.
4.) The operator might consider performing a general survey of naturally
invading species to assess possible useful re vegetation methods. Test
plots may also be useful.
5.) Technically, the operation is in a state of cessation and a formal
Temporary Cessation should be requested. Please review the Act and
Rules and Regulations with regard to Temporary Cessation and notify the
Division if you wish to apply for Temporary Cessation. Also, the
cessation would be retroactive to the date of last operation. Temporary
Cessation should be implemented if mining or mining related activity is
not planned to initiate within one year of this report.
