<br />INSPECTION REPORT - PAGE 2 <br />FILE N0. 80-156 <br />DATE: May 1, 1985 <br />OBSERVATIONS OF IMPORTANCE: <br />1. The inspector was accompanied by Mr. Don Hellman during the inspection. <br />The inspector appreciates Mr. Hellman's cooperation during the inspection. <br />2. Topsoil has been salvaged but may not be sufficient to reclaim the site. <br />Methods of salvaging topsoil were discussed. Pit run material or overburden <br />has been spoiled over topsoil on slopes on the north side of the operating <br />pit. This has been minor. Topsoil is thin, approximately 6". Topsoil <br />stockpiles were not clearly marked, graded or reseeded. <br />3. There is a dam constructed (pre-existing) in the pit area. This dam acts <br />as effective sediment control for the upper portion of the site. The dam is <br />approximately 10 feet in height. The dam is constructed of what appears to be <br />a good growth medium. The dam appears to be stable geotechnically and is <br />revegetated. The height may be high for sediment control. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />1. Salvage, stockpile, grade and reseed topsoil stockpiles. To avoid <br />mishandling or contamination please mark topsoil stockpiles with signs. <br />2. Investigate the necessary volume requirements of the sediment control <br />dam. This structure could be descreased in height. The material in the dam <br />could possibly be used for reclamation. Upon final reclamation this structure <br />should be breached and graded unless it is to be apart of the final land use, <br />i.e. stockpond. If that is the case a storage water right may be necessary. <br />3. Because of the permit boundary situation and the lack of clarity as to the <br />acreage of this pit, the Division recommends that the permit be amended, <br />please refer to Rule 1.8. Submit an amended permit application on or before <br />July 12, 1985 to address but not be limited, to the following items: <br />1. Updated maps indicating the permit boundaries, acreage and <br />i~acilities, etc. <br />f:. Updated mining and reclamation plan for the site. <br />Topsoil handling and storage. <br />4~. Waste handling and reclamation anticipated <br />5. Anticipated drainage configuration and pattern upon final <br />reclamation. <br />~yt <br />cc: Mr. Don Hellman (with 112 application form and copy of CMLRD Mineral <br />F:ules and Regulations <br />Doc.
