' (Page 21 • <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # -77- <br />INSPECTION DATE -1 - 7 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSA <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was apre-operational inspection of the Pit No. 1 gravel operation Amendment No. 11AM-011 expansion area and inspection of <br />the phased reclamation activities on the existing Pit No. 1 lake. <br />No structures other than those identified in AM-01 were noted <br />Topsoil and overburden depths were verified as accurate in the AM-Ol application <br />Permit boundary markers have been installed but a few more would make the boundary easier to identify. It is also recommended <br />that the maximum disturbance boundary in the east parcel be adequately marked to prevent disturbance of areas, within the approved <br />permit boundary, which are not currently bonded. <br />The east parcel was verified as having been covered with a junk yard at one time and a majority of the south '/. <br />of the site is covered with weeds and sparse grass. The north Y. of the site has a cover of cottonwood trees with an understory <br />of thick somewhat weedy vegetation. <br />The existing lake slopes have been reduced in grade to approximately those grades approved in AM-01. Verification of the grade of <br />underwater slopes was not accomplished at this inspection. <br />The majority of the Russian knapweed infestation at this site was on the overburden piles. Those piles were used to backfill the pit <br />slopes. Therefore the weed problem is not evident at this time. The operator is encouraged to perform weed control measures as <br />soon as emerging Russian knapweed is identified. <br />NAME Michael Rioo <br />OPERATOR Delta Sand and Gravel <br />STREET P.O.
