Boundary markers were correctly posted as required by the Rules, but no sign was posted at the entrance of the site. This must <br />be remedied within 30 days. (PB1) <br />2. Approximately 25 acres of the site were disturbed, with 12-15 acres along the south boundary reclaimed, and about 25 acres <br />along the east side undisturbed. <br />3. All equipment on the site is portable, and does not need to be included in reclamation costs for demolition. <br />4. The south side of the site slopes to grade, with the north and west sides excavated to 1 H:1 V slopes and 20'-25' highwalls along <br />one half of the north side, and 10'-15' highwalls along the west side. According to the Operator, the Bureau of Land <br />Management (BLM), the landowner, wants the western highwalls left in place, out of concern for the stability of the intact <br />down-gradient slope. !f these highwalls are to be left in place, a Technical Revision must be submitted, including a map of the <br />areas to be Left as highwalls, and a letter from the BLM, confimung their wish that these slopes be left at OH:1 V grades. <br />Otherwise, [he site will be bonded for the cos[ of backfilling [he highwalls. <br />5. A topsoil stockpile - 75 paces (I 10') long, 6'-7' high, and 120 paces wide (180') has been scavenged of the available topsoil. <br />It is clear that the site did not start out with much topsoil to begin with, and a commitment was made to place at least 3" plus <br />"soil amendments, possibly including manure" The bond will be recalculated based upon the necessity for the equivalent of <br />3" of topsoil to cover the site. <br />No other problems noted at this time. The bond will be recalculated within four weeks, based on the current reclamation plan. <br />I S E Contact Address <br />NAME Robert V. Mayne <br />OPERATOR Mayne Block <br />STREET P.O.
