(Page 2) • • <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-96-079 <br />INSPECTION DATE 06/28/00 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ESC <br />This was a follow-up inspection of the Barnard Quarry conducted by Erica Crosby of the <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. Chester Barnard of Barnard Quarries was present during the <br />inspection. <br />The reason for the inspection was to verify completion of the corrective actions noted in the <br />June 28, 2000 inspection report. The Division inspected the site due to a citizen complaint <br />letter sent by Don and Diane Johnson on June 16, 2000. The nature of the complaint is that <br />the employees of the Barnard Quarry have been throwing rock rubble over the edge for several <br />months. They believe that the neighbors to the north are in direct harm of a boulder being <br />kicked free and smashing into their homes. <br />Based on the mining and reclamation plan maps, it was clear that the rubble extends outside <br />the permit area approximately 25 to 30 feet down the slope. The Division required the new <br />rock to be removed and brought back onto the permit area. In addition, the operator was <br />required to install a temporary structure (either one or a combination of berm, fence or <br />signs, etc...) to ensure that this activity is prevented. <br />The operator has started to remove the new rock that was pushed outside the permit area. <br />According to Mr. Barnard 4 to 6 truckloads of rock remain that will be removed. A 3-foot <br />high chain link fence was installed along the top ledge of the pit. Numerous signs were <br />posted stating not to throw rock over the cliff (in both English and Spanish). Photographs <br />were taken with the digital camera that will be presented to the Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />at the July 26, 2000 Board Hearing. Based on this inspection, the operator is in compliance <br />with the corrective actions noted in the June 28, 2000 inspection report. <br />I & 8 Contact Address <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Chester Harnard ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Barnard Ouarries ^ FS <br />STREET 245 Evans St, P,O.
