(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ~-~ 9s;R-m~ <br />INSPECTION DATE: ll-1~ame INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: KI S <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a monitoring inspection conducted as part of DMG's inspection program for permitted operations. <br />Don Blake, the Lincoln County Land Use Administrator, and Albert Pepper, also with Lincoln County, <br />accompanied us on the inspection. <br />The identification sign was properly posted at the public entrance to the site. The affected area boundary <br />markers had been moved to mark the proposed boundaries for converting the pit to a 1 12 permit. The owner <br />decided to not allow enlargement of the pit, so the conversion application was withdrawn in June of this year <br />and the County has begun reclamation. However, the boundary markers have not yet been replaced to their <br />original positions. Posey indicated that they did not need to be moved back because they are now in <br />reclamation and unlikely to disturb any area outside the permitted mine boundaries. <br />As visible in the attached photos, manure has been imported to the site. The operator has graded the slopes of <br />the excavated area to an average of 3:1 and has begun spreading the composted manure on the slopes to <br />prepare for seeding. Posey advised the operator that the compost was a bit thin on the upper west side of the <br />pit. <br />No problems were noted. This concluded the inspection of the Smith Ranch Pit No. 2 mine site. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. Don Blake cc: CE <br />OPERATOR: Lincoln County Land Use Office BL <br />STREET: P_(~_ Rax 39 FS <br />HW <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Huga, C(7 ROA91 HMWMD (CH) <br />SE <br />WQCD (CH) <br />OTHER <br />
