(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: nn-i oan_n93 <br />INSPECTION DATE: ~?r~dia5 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: KAP <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the Division of Minerals and Geology's four-year monitoring <br />program. Present at the inspection were Kate Pickford, DMG, and Marcia Talvitie, Four Corners <br />Materials. Weather at the time of the inspection was clear, calm, and approximately 40 degrees. <br />2. A sign is posted at the entrance to the site and the permit boundaries are easily identified in the field. <br />Four Corners Materials currently has a lease with the permit holder to mine the site. There is presently no <br />active mining at the site due to the location of the site relative to market locations. According to <br />Division records, no mining activity has occurred at the site since sometime prior to December of 2002. <br />In that Four Corners has no current intention to commence mining at the site, the site should be put into <br />Temporary Cessation status (see problem 1, page 3 of this report). <br />3. The site consists of a lower area where access to the site is gained and where scales are located and <br />some stockpiles of material are stared. Access to the active mining area is gained via a roadway from <br />the lower area, up the mesa, to the top. Disturbance on the top of the mesa consists of an excavation <br />and stockpiled overburden and topsoil, northwest of the pit. There is also an access or processing area. <br />The disturbance does not exceed the 8 acre limit stated in the mining plan. The excavation has <br />exposed, vertical highwalls, which fall into the parameters of the approved mining plan. The disturbed <br />area outside of the excavation is surrounded by containment berms along the edge of the mesa. <br />4. The mining plan for the site states that if the stock piles of topsoil and overburden are left undisturbed for <br />over one year, both will be seeded to prevent erosion. There was no evidence of seeded vegetation <br />on these stock piles at the site during this inspection (see problem 2, page 3 of this report). <br />5. Based on a partial bond calculation conducted as a part of this inspection, the current bond amount of <br />$72,645.00 appears to be adequate for reclamation of the site. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Dale L Trenkle <br />OPERATOR: High Flume Gravel Pit.
