Mr. William Peetz accompanied this inspector on the <br />inspection. <br />The site is characterized as short grass prarie with the primary use as rangeland. The site occupies a square mile within a <br />larger block of land owned by the Operator. The actual mining operation will take place on 160 acres in the south central <br />portion of section 24. No neighbors live within two miles of the site. The only man made structures within the affected area <br />are range fences, owned by the Operator. <br />The site is presently un-developed and is bisected by Red Creek, which is dry most of the year. There is an apparent tamarisk <br />infestation in the stream bottom that will require the Operator to have a weed control plan in place prior to the start of mining. <br />The operator plans to remove topsoil and overburden to expose weathered limestone and sandstone which will be mined using <br />loader and/or excavator to remove the rock. The site appears to be suitable for the proposed mining operation. <br />The only problem noted is the Tamarisk Infestation. This is cited as a problem on the first and third page of this report, and <br />must be addressed within the time specified on the third sheet. <br />I & E Contact Address ^ Mr. Harry Posey <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME: Wi lliam Peetz ^ BL <br /> ^ FS <br />OPERATOR: Ra nch Land LLC ^ Hvy <br />STREET: 39 25 Hill Circle WMD (CH) <br /> ^ SE <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Cn lnradn~nrina5, C(1 Rn9n4 ^ WQCD (CH) <br />Cc: Ms Angela M.
