<br />• (Page 2) <br />MINE SD # OR PROSPECTING ID # <br />INSPECTION DATE 4-29-97 <br />M-80-037 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GSC <br />This was a Follow-up inspection to review the status of corrective actions required in the <br />Division's inspection of 12-9-96. The inspection was conducted with Mr. Jim Striggow. <br />During the 12-9-96 inspection, the operator was required to post an entrance sign and <br />boundary markers and submit photographic verification (PB-1). The Division received <br />photographic verification on 1-19-97. This inspection was conducted to verify that the <br />current quarry activity is within the permit boundaries. The permit area is the irregular <br />boot shaped area identified as AFFECTED AREA in the ownership survey map included in <br />Amendment AM-001. <br />The permit boundaries have been adequately marked along the south, east and northern sides <br />with metal fence posts. The permit boundary on the west consists of a vertical escarpment <br />along the hogback ridge. The current pit is inside the permit boundaries. It was not active <br />during this inspection and there was no mine related equipment on-site. Problem PB-1 is <br />considered abated. No other problems were identified. <br />The entire hog-back ridge has been scoured with old pre-law quarrying activities. These <br />areas generally have self-revegetated to some extent and are easy to differentiate from the <br />active quarry. A quarry operated in the 1950's is located in the northern part of the permit <br />area and extends to the north outside the permit area. This is also pre-law disturbance but <br />looks newer than the other pre-law disturbance. The quarry to the north still is older <br />looking than the active pit and should not be confused with the recent disturbance. <br />As a reminder, the mining and reclamation plans require that all process fines are to be <br />salvaged for replacement as growth medium during reclamation. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: Carl Mount, DMG <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Russell C.
