MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID#: M-1977-348 PAGE: 8 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 10-28-04 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ACS <br />reclamation costs will be estimated for any grading <br />necessary on the re-disturbed spoil, and revegetation, and <br />the amount of the bond will be adjusted accordingly. <br />b. Provide a plan for those portions of the quarries that are <br />impounding water, either to allow for permanent impoundment <br />of water as the post mining land use, or to provide a method <br />in the reclamation plan to prevent the impoundment of water. <br />11. The DMG files contain analytical results for ground water <br />sampling from the four wells located below the CKD disposal site <br />through the sampling conducted in July 2000. It is DMG's <br />understanding that at least one more set of data is available <br />from subsequent sample collection. Please provide this, and any <br />other data that may be available. Once all of the information is <br />in to DMG, it will be reviewed to determine if any additional <br />actions are necessary for the protection of ground water quality <br />at this site. <br />The A6 and A7 quarry locations were inspected during this site visit. <br />These quarries have been completely backfilled with mine spoil, have <br />been capped with plant growth media, and seeded. The backfilling has <br />created topography vaith positive drainage, and meets the requirements <br />of the reclamation permit and the performance standards contained in <br />the regulations. The revegetation effort was observed, but not <br />intensively inspected. Vegetation appears to meet performance <br />standards, but a more rigorous inspection must be conducted prior to <br />consideration of bond release on these reclaimed areas. <br />cc: Carl Mount, DMG (via email) <br />Bill Schenderlein, Applegate Group (via email) <br />Dick Wolfe, OSE (via email) <br />Inspection & Enforcement Contact Address <br />NAME Gordon Benton <br />OPERATOR Holcim, Inc. <br />STREET P.O.
