INSPECTOR'S INITIALS CLK
The following observations were made as part of an operator-requested inspection of this 112
gravel pit. Currently, the previous Operator, Tectonics Inc.,has been found in violation of
the Army Corps of Engineers 404 Dredge & Fill law for filling the banks along the river
during the `93 flood. An agreement between Tectonics Inc. and Hall-Irwin allows Tectonics
access to the site to complete the ACOE-ordered reclamation measures, including grading,
covering, and topsoiling of these banks, along with the replanting of trees. Hall-Irwin still
retains the responsibility under their agreement for seeding the banks.
At this time, DMG does not hold a bond for the reclamation work to be done along the banks
of the river. Ha11-Irwin is planning to submit a Technical Revision to the permit by the end
of July to include the ACOE-ordered reclamation work into the current permit. At this time,
DMG is requiring that an Amendment be submitted instead, by August 7, 1998, since the changes
to be made include changing the setback of the river, and expanding the affected area of the
permit, as well as adding new measures to the reclamation plan.(PB1)
1. A sign was in place with the operator's name and the DMG permit number.
2. Fencing encloses one half of the site; stakes are in place on the other half.
3. The south pit, which had been excavated during the last inspection, has now been graded
and topsoiled. It is currently overgrown with weeds (thistle, cheatgrass, kochia). Only
seeding of this area remains to be done, along with the topsoiling and grading of
approximately 6 acres on the southeast side of the site, and the topsoiling of the process
area.
The bond for this site will be recalculated after the Technical Revision is submitted.
