(Page 2) • <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-82-036 <br />INSPECTION DATE 6 23 98 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS CLK <br />l~ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The following observations were made as part of a routine inspection of this 36 acre 112 <br />gravel pit. <br />1. A sign was in place with the operator's name and the DMG permit number. <br />2. Fencing enclosed the boundaries of the site. <br />3. Measurements were taken of the currently disturbed area. A long cut runs the length of the <br />site (approximately 130' wide and 10' deep, with 1H:1V slopes along the west side, and <br />highwalls along the east side). Approximately another 80' wide, site-long strip has had <br />topsoil stripped and would need to be finish graded in order to bring that portion of the <br />site up to reclamation standards. There is about 1-2' of standing water in the cut. <br />4. Adequate topsoil stockpiles remain to reclaim the site to pasture (265'x 26'x 130', and <br />120'x 26'x 500'; a total of 86,250 CY) since only approximately 1' was required (58,080 CY <br />for the entire site). <br />5. Several areas that were previously excavated have been topsoiled and seeded, and currently <br />have 90-96~ cover. Yellow sweet clover, basin wildrye, wheatgrass, and brome are all present. <br />Some weeds (thistle, a small amount of cheatgrass) account for approximately 10~ of the <br />current vegetation. <br />No problems were apparent at this time. The bond will be recalculated and the financial <br />warranty checked within a month to determine if it is still current. <br />I 6 E Contact Address <br />NAME Mike Altavilla <br />OPERATOR Seneca Coal Co. <br />STREET P.O.
