Re=CcIV~D <br /> <br />SEP 151997 <br />INSPECTION REPORT Division of Minerals 8 Geo <br />Case File #: COC22777 Case Type: Coal <br />Operator: Kerr Coal <br />Location: Marr Mine, Pit #1 <br />Status: Preapplication [ ] Operation [ ] <br />Preconstruction [ ] Reclamation [ x ] <br />Construction [ ] Other <br />Inspectorls): Jim Perry Date: 7-9-97 <br />SUMMARY <br />I met with Jim Mossman and George Patterson before hiking portions of <br />Pit#1. - --' '-- -- ~- ~ -- -- - -- - - - -- -- _. <br />Pond 'G': <br />I reminded Jim & George that Pond"G" north of the County road will <br />eventually have to come out. <br />Noxious Weeds: <br />There is some Canada thistle in the northernmost end of Pit #1 and along <br />the bottom of the pit. Jim said he was looking into equipment and <br />chemicals to treat the weeds. <br />Contour Furrows: <br />The contour furrows look like they worked quite successfully. Some have <br />filled with sediment and overtopped, but I saw very little erosion below <br />the furrows. The furrows are smaller than I expected and it is now my <br />belief that the furrows may eventually fill in and erode away sufficiently <br />to blend into the landscape. <br />vegetation: <br />The 1st year cereal crop has reinvaded and once again dominates the site. <br />Z saw very little perennial vegetation from last fall's seeding. <br />There was an area in the north end, about 1 acre in size, which was devoid <br />of cereal grains. The only perennial plant in the drill rows was an over <br />abundant crop of Lewis flax. It does not appear as though the seed was <br />mixed very well in the drill box. <br /> <br />Photos Attached? Y N Signature: r i <br />)9Y <br />i - ~' <br />
